This is the one guy that can get arrested and actually become wayyyy hotter in my book.
Woman reportedly arrested for painting fingernails on Southwest Airlines flight
Published March 07, 2012. FoxNews.com
A California woman on a Southwest Airlines flight was reportedly arrested and detained after a verbal confrontation with a flight attendant regarding her nail polish.
Jeanie Daniels told WOFL that she was painting her nails in her seat on a Southwest Airlines flight from California to Texas last month when a flight attendant asked her to stop. Daniels then went to the bathroom to finish and later began arguing with the flight attendant, who waited outside the bathroom.
Daniels was handcuffed and detained for more than 10 hours when the flight landed in Houston.
“She started screaming at me and wouldn’t stop,” Daniels told the station. “I said I’m sorry, I apologize and I put it away. About ten minutes into the flight I discovered I only had two nails left to paint so I thought well if I went to the bathroom and did it, it wouldn’t offend anyone.”
Daniels said the attendant got “so loud” during the initial conversation in her seat.
“I don’t know what’s going on with the airline or why the flight attendants have so much authority and just treat people so poorly,” she said.
Officers requested the district attorney charge Daniels with “abusive profane language.” The charge was later dismissed and Daniels was released from jail.
In a statement to KTLA.com, Southwest Airlines said airport police became involved due to Daniel’s behavior and a verbal altercation with a crew member.
“Southwest Airlines is responsible for the safety of all of our passengers and employees,” the statement read.
Massachusetts father faces charges for allegedly pointing laser at rival goalie during daughter’s hockey game
Published March 07, 2012. FoxNews.com
A Massachusetts father will face criminal charges for allegedly aiming a laser pointer into the eyes of the opposing goalie at his daughter’s high school hockey game.
Joseph Cordes, 42, of Winthrop, will appear in East Boston District Court to face a charge of disorderly conduct, MyFoxBoston.com reports. Police said Cordes pointed the light at the Medway-Ashland goalie during a tournament game on Feb. 29.
Winthrop Assistant Superintendent Lisa Howard entered the stands and ordered Cordes out of the arena. Winthrop went on to win the game 3-1, which led to a protest from the Medway/Ashland parents who asked that the game be replayed. The governing body of high school sports in Massachusetts, however, denied the appeal.
Cordes, who has not been arrested, told WBZ-TV that he feels like a “complete jerk” and humiliated his daughter.
In 2008, Cordes was convicted with trying to break into a Winthrop pharmacy near a hockey rink. Police said he had cut all phone, alarm and cable connections to the store and found heroin in his possession, MyFoxBoston.com reports. He was later sent to Bridgewater State Hospital for psychiatric evaluation.
Wow, what a dad. I feel so unloved. My parents never went to such extremes to make sure that I won my soccer/softball/tennis games.
This story is so absurd it’s funny. I’m glad no one was hurt because I honestly cannot get over how comical this is.
Apparently a 60-year-old man (David Alan Anderson) from Salt Lake City boarded a Delta flight bound for Las Vegas and he really doesn’t know how to get along with others. According to the article,
“Shortly after he sat down on the Las Vegas-bound Delta flight on Sunday, Anderson elbowed his seatmate to “claim” the armrest. He then put his foot on the passenger’s leg. The passenger then told Anderson to move over.
“The complaint says Anderson threatened the passenger saying, “If I have a knife, I would slit your throat.” The seatmate reportedly told flight attendants that Anderson reached into his bag a few times with something cupped in his hand.”
Well his behavior was kind of worrisome, so officers had to be called in to handle this wacko. They apparently found a knife in his bag and now some TSA agents are surely going to be unemployed today. But that’s not all. Once the responding officers took the crazy old grandpa to the station, he began to threaten the police and the FBI with phrases like:
“Your days are not long,” “It’s a shotgun in the chest,” “I’ll pull your eyeballs out,” and “It will give me a lot of pleasure to see you again, but you won’t see me, bucko.”
Hm. Interesting. I didn’t know people called each other “bucko” anymore.
AJC.com article:
Woman: I was arrested for sitting outside in chair | ajc.com.
Great. Another story about a cop on a power trip. Officer Thomas seems to be doing a bang-up job as a police officer… pshh.
My favorite portion of the story? This little nugget:
“[...] the review board found that during a five-month period, Thomas had made 38 arrests, 27 of which were for disorderly conduct. The total of 27 arrests for disorderly conduct was three times the amount made by two other officers that patrol the same area, during the same shift [...]“
Hmmm… yeah, sounds a little strange to me. He should probably move to Athens, GA where he can just go crazy arresting UGA students as much as he pleases. He’d fit right in.
…so maybe that’s why I still read the ‘Red & Black’ website more than I probably should. But whatev.
So naturally I had to share this Opinions article because it is just full of truths about the Athens cops. Also, being there this past weekend to watch our football team kinda suck the UGA v. USC game, I remembered how much those cops really irritated me. Standing outside of every bar just waiting for underaged freshmen to get turned down? Good Lord, you have nothing else to do? I’m pretty sure Athens has a lot of problems — the least of which are 20-year-olds drinking downtown during gamedays.
So, young columnist, good job on this editorial. The whole smoking a joint on your way back from GA/FL was not very smart, but I’ll cut you some slack. But I am curious as to why you were drinking an Odwalla smoothie as opposed to a Naked one… hmm.
Nonetheless, people kinda went for the jugular in the comments section, but who cares. They are just pissed that they didn’t have as much fun as you in college.
Money influences how police do their job
By WHITNEY DAVIS on September 9, 2011
I’ve had two significant run-ins with the cops.The first occurred in October 2008, in the Athens area on the way back from Georgia-Florida weekend in St. Simons.
When the police objective was to put me in handcuffs, they found hiding places in our car that I would have never thought of. Paying attention to every detail, the police found a tiny joint butt — enough to convict us all.
The incentive to arrest three students in a nice car on the way back from an affluent part of Georgia was ridiculously high. We were easy money.
The cops even looked through our wallets in search of fake IDs, even though there was no alcohol in the car.
The Wilkes County Police worked very hard to get the fines from my compatriots and me.
Then came the second incident.
On Tuesday, August 16, 2011, I reported my car stolen from my apartment complex parking lot, near campus.
After the thoroughness of police when I was arrested, I expected my car to be returned to me within a few days. But to no avail.
After calling the police station I was told people often stumble upon their cars before police recover them.
On Tuesday, August 23, my boyfriend was craving a McDonald’s milk shake. While in the drive-through, a STS9 sticker on a car in the parking lot caught my eye. I immediately realized the sticker was mine and so was the car.
After looking in the windows and checking to see if my key worked, I called the police.
When police arrived we told them we thought the thief was in the McDonald’s or maybe worked there. Of the four cops that showed up, two of them went into McDonalds and asked the manager how long the car had been in the parking lot.
Of course no one volunteered much information.
When I found an Odwalla juice bottle in the passenger seat, I asked the police if they wanted to fingerprint it. I thought perhaps they could use it to find the crook. The policeman told my boyfriend and I that unfortunately in a stolen property case, there just isn’t enough priority to take evidence such as the bottle into account. That got me frustrated.
I was tempted to ask what the priority of downtown was, since it seems like half the police force goes there every night, but I resisted.
Now the investigation has gone cold. I blame having no monetary incentive.
Recovering stolen property more than likely would not have resulted in a fine. Someone desperate enough to steal a car more than likely wouldn’t have extra cash lying around to pay the penalty.
So, catching this criminal would probably result in the county having to pay money to hold them in jail, and then the state having to pay money for them to be kept in our overcrowded Georgian prisons.
If the police had helped me to the best of their ability, they would have lost resources — not gained them. When I was arrested, they could only gain.
All of the recent budget cutting, has obviously put government employees on edge.
Especially in a town where the education budget cuts are so publicized, is it really surprising that police are obsessed with dollars and cents?
The slogan of the police should change from “protect and serve” to “collect and earn.”

Well, we have found the perfect match for Overboard Dad. A young mom who tries to get her baby high. What a winner.
Here’s a portion of the article from Huffington Post:
Jessica Callaway, Arizona Mother, Blew Marijuana Smoke In Her Baby’s Mouth To Calm Her Down, Police Say
A 21-year-old mother was arrested by Gilbert, Az., Police on Saturday after she allegedly tried to calm her infant daughter by blowing marijuana smoke in the girl’s mouth.
Witness footage allegedly shows Jessica Callaway on Friday telling her 10-month-old to, “shut the f*** up before I kick you in the mouth,” as she repeatedly hits the baby to get her to stop crying, The Arizona Republic reported.
Callaway, whose Facebook page is “loaded with postings about pot and parties,” according to ABC-15, told police that she was frustrated because she was “having trouble finding an outfit to wear out that night.”
As if that didn’t make you want to get to know Ms. Callaway to begin with, check out her picture. What a hottie.
I sincerely hope her baby finds a new home with someone much better than this clown this gothic weirdo this young woman. It sickens me that people like this can have children.
On a lighter note, who wants to bet that Nancy Grace on HLN will nickname this idiot “Pot Mom?” She doesn’t have “Tot Mom” to talk about anymore, so I bet she’s pumped.
