Florida woman repeatedly tases husband after he asks for separation
A Florida woman whose husband said he was leaving her soon dealt him an even bigger shock — tasing him several times as they fought, according to cops.
Pamela Jane Carr, 68, blew a fuse Sunday morning at her Clearwater home when hubby Thomas Burke, 73, asked for a separation after nine years of marriage, according to an arrest affidavit.
As they fought, the furious wife “pulled out a Taser and dry stunned him several times,” the document states.
Carr “admitted to Tasing her husband,” the document says, stressing that she “claims it was in self-defense.”
It was not clear if the husband was injured or needed treatment.
Carr was charged with aggravated domestic battery, a felony, and was released from the county jail Sunday night after posting $1,000 bond, records show.
She was barred from contacting her husband or possessing firearms and ammunition.
She will be allowed one visit with a law enforcement escort to retrieve her belongings from their mobile home community.

Girl dies from acute meth poisoning after drinking from her mom’s bong
A 5-year-old Colorado girl died from acute meth poisoning after drinking from her mother’s bong, getting left for three hours without medical help — despite “seeing monsters and demons,” according to court records.
Sophia Larson drank the tainted water from the bong her mom Stephanie Alvarado, 26, had been using during a drug bender with two cousins after losing her job because of a failed drug test, according to the arrest affidavit obtained by The Mercury News.
The youngster spat it out, saying “yucky” — but soon had terrifying hallucinations from the “very, very high” levels of meth that eventually killed her, the report says.
Instead of seeking urgent medical help, the adults prayed and read from the Bible — with the mom too scared of losing custody of the child to call 911, the affidavit says.
Even when she blacked out, the trio took her to a nearby apartment and gave her oxygen through a tube, the docs say.
They eventually drove her to Grand River Hospital, where Sophia was pronounced dead early Dec. 11, the affidavit said. Police found baggies filled with white powder, drug residue on a dollar bill, and pipes and bongs throughout the apartment, according to the report.
Last week, the death was ruled to be from methamphetamine intoxication after “very, very high” levels of the drug were found in the 5-year-old girl’s system, the Mercury News said.
The mom and her two cousins — Bertha Karina Ceballos-Romo, 28, and Daniel Alvarado, 27 — were all arrested last Thursday, the paper says.
They are all charged with child abuse resulting in death, possession of a controlled substance and reckless endangerment, according to the Rifle police arrest warrant affidavit.
Sophia’s 23-year-old dad Alec Larson — who says he split from his ex because of her drug problems — told Fox 31 that the death “changed me in a way that scares me.”
“If they would have taken her when they saw my daughter drank that, she may have been a little slow and not right in the head — but my daughter would still be here with me today,” he said. “I miss her every second, every day.”

Donald Trump Jr. posts meme calling Mitt Romney ‘a p—y’, demands his removal from GOP
Donald Trump Jr. posted a meme calling Mitt Romney “a p—y” Wednesday after the Utah senator said he’d vote to convict his father in the impeachment trial.
Trump Jr. shared shared the image — which features Romney wearing “mom jeans” and the words “because you’re a p—y” — on Instagram and demanded Romney be booted from the Republican Party.
“Mitt Romney is forever bitter that he will never be POTUS. He was too weak to beat the Democrats then so he’s joining them now. He’s now officially a member of the resistance & should be expelled from the @GOP,” he wrote, along with the meme.
Earlier in the day, Romney vowed to vote to convict President Trump of committing impeachable acts in his dealings with Ukraine, breaking with his Republican colleagues.
“The grave question the Constitution tasks senators to answer is whether the president committed an act so extreme and egregious that it rises to the level of a high crime and misdemeanor. Yes, he did,” the Utah senator said in speech on the Senate floor, before becoming the only GOP senator to vote against President Trump.
But ultimately, the Republican-led Senate acquitted Trump for his dealings with Ukraine on Wednesday, ending a months-long impeachment process.

Coronavirus hate attack: Woman in face mask allegedly assaulted by man who calls her ‘diseased’
The New York City Police Department’s task force on hate crimes is seeking the public’s help in identifying the man seen in a video apparently punching and kicking the woman.
A woman wearing a face mask was allegedly assaulted and called “diseased” in an incident in a New York City subway that was apparently sparked by bias over the coronavirus.
The New York City Police Department’s hate crimes unit is seeking the public’s help in identifying the man who appears to be kicking and punching the woman in a video posted on Twitter.
“The NYPD and the Hate Crimes Task Force encourage the victim to report this incident to the police for a full investigation,” the task force said in its retweet of a post with the video, captioned, “Chinese woman gets attacked for wearing a mask in nyc.”
The woman, wearing a parka and a yellow mask or scarf covering her mouth, appears to be trying to leave the station when the man physically attacks her.
“Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. yo, yo calm down!” a voice can be heard saying as the man punches and kicks the woman.
Another Twitter user, with the handle @x_ginko, responded to the original tweet by @TonyySays, claiming to have seen the incident.
“She was telling people to move to the right and letting them know she was there. I walked away from her because I wasn’t bothered by it,” @x-ginko wrote.
“When I exited the turnstiles, I saw that a man was talking to her. At [this] point, I was still wearing my headphones, so I couldn’t hear what he was saying. However, when I took off my headphones, I clearly heard the words ‘diseased b—-.’ I also heard her asking him to go away.”
An NYPD spokesman told NBC News on Wednesday that it’s not clear exactly when or where the attack happened.
NBC News could not immediately reach either one of the two Twitter users Wednesday regarding their accounts of the incident.
Marian Guerra, deputy chief of staff for City Councilwoman Margaret Chin, whose district includes the Chinatown neighborhood, said her office learned of the attack Monday night and believe it happened at the Grand Street station in Chinatown.
Guerra said some of their constituents fear they are being unfairly viewed as carriers of the virus, although the outbreak’s epicenter is on the other side of the globe in Wuhan, China. No one in New York City has yet tested positive for the virus.
“We’ve seen a lot of anxieties from folks in the community,” Guerra said, referring to Chinatown residents.
The MTA said it alerted police Monday when the footage first showed up on social media.
“The MTA has no tolerance for bias or hate-based attacks,” according to an MTA statement. “We recently launched an anti-hate campaign to encourage victims and witnesses to report these crimes, and to encourage tolerance that should minimize such unacceptable conduct in the first place.”

Canadian businessman gets 30 days in jail after claiming he set $1 million on fire to keep it from his ex-wife
A Canadian businessman with cash to burn would rather set his money on fire than hand over a single cent to his ex-wife.
Bruce McConville, who has long been mired in divorce proceedings, remained behind bars in Ottawa on Wednesday. He’s serving a 30-day sentence handed to him by an incredulous judge, who has refused to believe the extreme measures McConville has taken to prevent his ex-wife from getting her hands on his assets, according to the Ottawa Citizen.
During an appearance in Ottawa Superior Court, the 55-year-old father told officials he withdrew $1 million from his account over a series of 25 different ATM transactions — only to set it all aflame.
He claimed that he burned $743,000 in a bonfire on Sept. 23 and another $296,000 on Dec. 15.
“It’s not something I would normally do,” he said. “I am not a person that is extremely materialistic. A little goes a long way. I have always been frugal. That’s why my business lasted for 31 years.”
McConville, who has repeatedly defied court orders to file an affidavit regarding his finances, is also accused of selling properties to a former accountant despite a court order forbidding him from liquidating any assets. His behavior has cast a cloud of mystery over his finances, making it difficult to determine how much he should be paying in child and spousal support.
According to the Citizen, McConville is not currently paying either.
He also stands accused of failing to pay the court $300,000 as a security deposit.
Superior Court Justice Kevin Phillips slammed McConville’s tale and questioned its truthfulness in court last month.
“How does destroying over a million dollars advance your child’s best interest?” Phillips pressed.
The judge in the end, could not bring himself to believe that McConville would light up his funds, saying it is “crystal clear” that he “has very clearly and deliberately set out to thwart the court and the proper administration of justice.”
Phillips on Jan. 28 sentenced McConville, who also launched a failed mayoral bid in 2018, to a month behind bars and encouraged him to reconsider his story. He additionally warned the businessman that his current stay in jail would seem like “a walk in the park” compared to the “penal consequences” he will be facing if does not tell the truth in future court filings.
Phillips also imposed a daily $2,000 fine to be paid by McConville to his ex-wife.

A kayaker vanished last month in the Florida Everglades. Days later, his phone washed ashore with clues
A Virginia kayaker who vanished during a solo trip in the Florida Everglades has been found after his cell phone washed ashore and authorities used it to recover data on his location.
Mark Miele, 67, was last seen on January 22 when he left for his kayaking trip, the Collier County Sheriff’s Office said.
He was supposed to return seven days later, but his family did not hear from him. On Sunday, park rangers found his belongings, including his wallet and phone, on the bank of the Lopez River near the Monroe County line, authorities said.
“By downloading the data on Mark’s phone Sunday night, deputies found his most recent coordinates logged on January 31 and our aviation unit began a targeted search of the area,” the sheriff’s office said.Shortly before noon Monday, the aviation unit located him and provided his location to a Marine Unit along with officers from the National Park Service. He was found a few miles from where his phone had washed up wearing a life jacket and floating faceup in the river. Rescuers in boats rushed to the area and plucked him from the murky waters. “First concern when we found him it didn’t look like he was moving and we didn’t know if it was going to be a recovery or a rescue,” Cpl. Ed Henderson, who helped find him, told CNN affiliate WINK News. “He’d been in the water for two solid days and it’s been really cold.”
Miele was dehydrated and hypothermic, and was convulsing when he was found, authorities said. He is hospitalized in stable condition, and his family thanked local and state authorities for rescuing him.
“It’s a miracle he’s alive and in the condition he is in,” his family said in a statement. No more information was immediately available.

How Did Lysol ‘Know’ About the Coronavirus Before it Happened?
Hundreds of Americans evacuated from China as coronavirus infections increase+ MORE secret videos
The coronavirus that’s been making headlines was not known to science before late 2019. And yet, people are posting photos of old bottles of Lysol and Clorox wipes that claim their contents can kill coronavirus. What gives?
This isn’t evidence of a conspiracy. It’s just confusion about a name. This coronavirus is new, but there have been plenty of coronaviruses before it, both human and animal. For example, here is a paper from 1970 describing three different strains of human coronavirus. Heck, the photo we ran with yesterday’s coronavirus article was taken in 2008.
You have heard of coronaviruses before, even if you don’t recognize the name. SARS, the respiratory virus that caused an international outbreak in 2003, was a coronavirus. MERS, another respiratory virus first identified in 2012, is a coronavirus too.
You may have also had a coronavirus. Of common colds, about a third are caused by rhinoviruses. Other culprits include respiratory syncytial virus, adenovirus, and … yep. Coronaviruses. “Most people get infected with these viruses at some point in their lives,” the CDC says on their coronavirus page, and they list four of the strains known to cause colds.
Lysol tested its product against viruses “similar to” 2019-nCoV, their website says. Factcheck.org states that it was tested specifically against the 229E strain, one of the ones that cause the common cold.

Wendy Williams Slams Justin Bieber’s Drug Addiction Battle: ‘Why Should I Care?’
Wendy Williams has a lot of opinions. The daytime talk show host speaks her mind on every one of her shows, even if it means she creates a bit of controversy.
On her February 5 show, Williams discussed Justin Bieber opening up about his past drug addiction. And she blatantly said she doesn’t care about what he went through. Here’s what she had to say.
Williams’ opinions are often controversial
The best part of Williams’ show, albeit the most controversial part, is that she never hides how she feels. The Wendy Williams Show host has been doing this since her first episode premiered back in 2008, and her opinions and humor have been a big part of why she’s retained such a large fan base.
Williams has landed in hot water with some people though, since her comments can sometimes be pretty harsh. She once called Lori Loughlin’s daughter, Olivia Jade, “stupid” and “entitled,” and most recently called out Rob Kardashian for dating Love & Hip Hop star Tommie Lee. Lee then bashed Williams on social media. But it hasn’t stopped Williams from remaining true to who she is.
Williams recently said she doesn’t care about Justin Bieber’s drug problems
In typical Williams fashion, she recently spoke her mind about Justin Bieber opening up about his past drug addiction. Bieber recently debuted a documentary series about his life and everything he’s been through, and in it, he detailed his past drug problem that he hid from the world. He said he would start every morning by “popping pills” and “smoking a blunt.” He found himself in a very dark place and said he turned to God to help him.
Williams showed the clip on her show, and before getting into the discussion she said, “I don’t care,” that Bieber dealt with a drug problem. “Why should I care?” she reiterated. “I saw who he was hanging out with.”
Justin Bieber once tore up her green room while on her show
Williams doesn’t have the fondest memories of Bieber. He once appeared on her show when he was 13, and, per Williams’ account, he was completely out of line. “He tore up my green room … Was nasty to everyone around here,” Williams said. “It was Scooter and his father who made him go upstairs and straighten up that green room. … So they had a piece of a handle on him,” she added.
Williams then said that Bieber’s dad “fell in love with the limelight” and wasn’t as much of a dad as he should have been in the situation.
Williams has struggled with drug addiction herself
With drugs becoming such a problem in our society, it seems insensitive that Williams would blatantly say she doesn’t care about Bieber’s struggles with addiction. It’s also surprising, considering Williams opened up about her own struggles with addiction early last year. Williams admitted to fans that she had dealt with a bad cocaine addiction through the years and was living in a sober house at the time.
Many celebrities fall victim to drugs, and it could partially be because of the pressure to succeed and maintain a good image. It’s nice to know that both Williams and Bieber were able to overcome their addictions, when, unfortunately, others aren’t so lucky.

Sex Dolls Experience raises eyebrows in Las Vegas neighborhood
Neighbors and county officials are concerned about the existence of an alleged sex doll brothel and sex club operating in a central Las Vegas neighborhood.
According to its website, Las Vegas Sex Dolls Experience offers customers the chance to spend time “interacting” with sex dolls in a private room at an undisclosed hourly rate.
Sex Dolls Experience does not appear to be licensed in Clark County and operates out of a “fluid gender social lifestyle club” called The Studios at 5150 S. Pecos Road, near Tropicana Avenue.
Cyndi Robbins lives in a home just down the block from The Studios. She said she’s heard rumors that the building is a sex club and is concerned about living near the property.
“I think it’s sick and it’s wrong that it should be anywhere near a residential area,” Robbins said. “We’ve got apartments and houses on the other side of the road on the other side of Pecos, and we’ve got houses over here with children. It shouldn’t be allowed, and I didn’t think by law it was.”
A spokesman for the county said The Studios is under investigation by Clark County code enforcement on suspicion of operating a business without a license.
County records show that The Studios was licensed in 2016 to operate as an educational institution under the name Fluid Lifestyles Learning Center, but it advertises itself online as a private residence that the owner or owners use as a “social venue.”
Photos from The Studios’ website showcase rooms outfitted with beds, couches, televisions, at least one stripper pole and bondage equipment.
Robbins said that on Friday and Saturday nights, club attendees park in front of her home and others in the neighborhood. The Studios’ website warns that cars parked next to the fire station across the street from the building will be towed.
“I don’t know these people, and I don’t know what kind of people they are,” she said. “And, I know they are not here to visit people in the neighborhood because you see them walking on up to the club.”
A representative of The Studios could not be reached for comment. Sex Dolls Experience declined to comment and made several changes to its website after being contacted by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
At first, its website invited customers to “indulge in the ultimate sexual experience,” but the next day it stated that Sex Dolls Experience allows prospective buyers to “try” sex dolls before purchasing them.
On Wednesday, a “What to Expect” section of the website described an appointment with one of the dolls, including meeting a host on arrival, picking out a doll, wig and costume, and being escorted to a reserved room for a prenegotiated period of time.
On Thursday, only the description of meeting a host remained, and the rest was replaced with “We are not a brothel!!”
Other neighbors said they weren’t too worried about the club, aside from issues with parking and litter. Elaine Pierce lives in a home near the intersection of Reno Avenue and Pecos, not too far from The Studios.
She said she’s more concerned about homeless people squatting under some trees near her home.
“We don’t have any children here. My youngest is 32,” Pierce said.
A licensed sex worker living in Las Vegas recently spoke out against the Sex Dolls Experience. Roxanne Price is concerned that sex dolls could prove to be stiff competition for her and other sex workers in Nevada.
Prostitution is illegal in Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, but licensed sex workers can work at legal brothels in neighboring counties. Price, 25, works in Pahrump.
Sex workers in Nevada are required to pass a background check, undergo weekly testing for sexually transmitted diseases and pay out of pocket for their doctor’s appointments and licensing fees.
“While human prostitutes are mired in legal red tape, doll brothels don’t have to worry about complying with any restrictive legislation,” Price said. “It’s as if sex dolls and sex robots have more rights and freedom than actual human sex workers.”
