A serial drink driver has been jailed after turning up for a probation appointment with a pint of lager in his hand.
The
case of Amir Saeed, 30, sparked outrage in February after magistrates
decided not to give him a prison sentence for his tenth drink drive
conviction in less than a decade. But now he is in jail after Blackburn
magistrates were told he had totally failed’ to co-operate with the
suspended prison sentence.
A drink driver banned from the road for three years was caught drunk
behind the wheel again – just 15 minutes after his 1,095 day ban ended.
Peter Savage was caught by traffic officers as he drove back home after a night out celebrating the end of his ban with friends, during which he had drunk four pints of lager.
The
court heard that after being pulled to the side of the road the
28-year-old scrapyard worker gave a false name and address as he tried
to escape out of another ban.
Lisa Bess could not figure out why the front door to her home on West Silver Springs Boulevard was locked and the key was missing on Tuesday afternoon. She couldn’t figure out why her bathroom door was locked and water was running. She called the police.
When Ocala police officers kicked open the door to her bathroom at about 5 p.m., she had her answer: A man had found the extra key outside, let himself in, picked out a new outfit of her clothes to wear and took a long hot shower. They found him sitting naked on the bathroom toilet.
“There was still a stench of my body lotion; actually, water was still draining from the bathtub,” Bess said. “And he was refusing to get off the toilet until he finished doing his business.”
A man, woman and two teenage children apparently shared a house in Necedah Township, Wisconsin with a corpse for two months before authorities found the body. At least one of the adults in the house insisted the dead woman inside wasn’t “fully dead,” and that they could pray her back to life.
The home is reportedly in decent condition, although Lewis and the children apparently used a pail for a bathroom because Middleworth’s body was draped over the only toilet in the house. Both Bushey and Lewis are facing charges of causing mental harm to a child, and obstructing justice.
Investigators say a woman accused of drunk driving had a case of beer buckled up safely, and a one year old girl sitting in the backseat without a seatbelt or car seat.

COLFAX TOWNSHIP, Mich. – A man says he shot and killed a neighbour’s cow after mistaking it for a coyote.
Authorities and the cow’s owner are skeptical. The undersheriff in northern Michigan’s Benzie County says he doesn’t see how anyone could confuse a 635-kilogram, pregnant cow with a coyote, which typically weighs about 13 kilograms.
Shooting coyotes is illegal during deer-shooting season and authorities asked the county prosecutor to bring charges.
A trio of would-be Romania bank burglars ended up with nothing to show for their big plan because they didn’t realize the building had been vacated, according to wire reports.

A man was arrested on Thursday after a bizarre series of events that included him crashing his car, getting shot by a homeowner, breaking a restaurant window and stripping to his underwear.
Police said it all started when the man crashed his car into a pole and started banging on the door of a nearby house. After he kicked in a window, homeowner Leroy Bruce shot him.
Bruce said the man ran off and left his pants and other clothing behind. The bleeding suspect fled to a McDonald’s and threw a rock through the front window.
Witness Lisa Fuqua told WMC-TV that the man was easy for police to identify and that he ‘had to be on some high-powered something.”
