Woman Driving 100 MPH Going Wrong Way

This guy is driving northbound on Interstate I5 when he sees drivers in the southbound lanes blinking their headlights.

So he slows...thinking it's the police or a wreck...and moves to the right lane.  Just as he moves into the right lane, a car flashes by going south in the left lane.

He just missed being involved in a head-on crash with a car traveling at speeds up to 100 mph...going the wrong way.



She drove eighteen miles...at speeds up 100 mph...in the wrong direction. Thankfully, it was early morning or there would have been more traffic.  It's nothing short of a miracle that she didn't cause herself or someone else to get into a horrific accident.

Apparently, this woman didn't even know she was on the interstate and still doesn't remember it happening.  Prescription drugs and alcohol...a dangerous combination.

Cops Believe Inmate Hid Revolver In His Rectum

Friday, a 22 year-old Georgia resident, Michael Leon Ward, was stopped by North Carolina Troopers for speeding.

Troopers entered his information in the computer and learned he was a fugitive on a murder warrant in Atlanta.  He resisted arrest and police had to use a stun gun to control him.

After a search of his car, Ward was also charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.  So...he's taken to jail, processed and place in a cell.

The next morning he calls jailers to his cell...he says someone is trying to kill him and, in the toilet, is a 10 inch, .38 barrel revolver.

Police say he brought the gun to jail in his rectum...What?!!?

(NOTE:  This video has no audio)




Police say he was stripped searched...why didn't they find the gun during the search?  Police can't answer that question, but say they are investigating.

Ward says someone was trying to kill him...he found the gun in his cell and threw it in the toilet.  But maybe he had to poop and it came out in the toilet and Ward is trying to find a way to explain the gun being in his cell.

Ironically, Ward was taken to the hospital Saturday for injuries that may have come from the revolver that police believe he concealed in his rectum.

If police are right, Ward must have had the gun in his rectum before they stopped him...that could be why he was speeding.

Ward's behavior brings new meaning to the term "concealed weapon".  After close analysis, something about this story just doesn't smell right.

The gun wasn't loaded so bringing the gun in his backdoor didn't kill him.  No, it didn't kill him, but it certainly rectum.

Special Note:

Today, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  One of my favorite quotes by this great man:

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Going 120 MPH in Cop Car

Have you ever been late for work and sped to get there on time? But, you probably never drove 120 mph to get there.

State Police Officer DJ Watts is driving on the turnpike when a marked, Miami police squad car speeds past her, weaving in and out of traffic at a very high-speed. The car is traveling so fast, the State Patrol Officer can't overtake it. The driver of the Miami police car ignores the lights and the siren. At times, he accelerates and continues changing lanes.

At one point, the Miami police car slows to 78 mph, but speeds up again. After a seven minute, 12 mile chase in the early dawn, the Miami police car pulls over. Driving the police car is a Miami police officer.




Officer Fausto Lopez says he was on the way to a part-time job. If he had stopped when the siren and lights were first used, the outcome may have been different (I hope not). Instead, he chooses to ignore the siren and lights as if they would go away. He apparently felt he was above the law as some Law Enforcement Officers do, but unfortunately for him, he sped past Officer Watts.

Officer Watts pulled her gun, handcuffed and arrested the Miami police officer. Officer Fausto Lopez is charged with second-degree reckless driving. Subsequently, he was released from custody. If you live in Miami, watch out for Officer Lopez; he is back at work because this is "a traffic offense".

Good job, Officer Watts!

Peace
