Drunk Ohio man charged with calling cops 25 times in search of lost hoodie; facing up to 18 months in prison
Dude, where’s my hoodie?
A confused and inebriated Ohio man looking for answers in the wrong place frantically called cops 25 times in search of his lost hooded sweatshirt, police said.
Harves Gardner, 32, is now facing a felony charge of disrupting public services after being arrested early Monday following his alleged torrent of phone calls, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
“When people arrived [the] defendant only wanted rides around town to find his hoodie that he lost,” cops wrote of the incident.
Police told Gardner, who was allegedly intoxicated at the time, to simply go back to bed, but he kept calling cops, providing different locations for cops to respond, the newspaper reports.
Gardner, who was being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center, was scheduled to appear in court early Tuesday. It’s unclear if he’s hired an attorney.
In Ohio, disruption of public services is a fourth-degree felony punishable by up to 18 months in prison and a fine of $5,000.

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.”

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.

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.

Dying Arizona mom collapses on 4-month-old baby, suffocating him
TEMPE, Ariz. (KPHO/KTVK/CNN) – The sudden death of an Arizona mother became a double tragedy when she fell on her 4-month-old son, suffocating him, according to police.
Flowers, a balloon and stuffed animals formed a memorial outside the Tempe, Arizona, townhome, where 38-year-old Larinique Meadows and her son, 4-month-old Denari Meadows, were found dead Saturday evening.
Investigators believe the mother had a medical emergency. She had been researching chest pains on her phone, but there is no record of her trying to call 911.
“It’s a very, very tragic incident in which we believe that she had some sort of heart condition, heart episode, and then passed away and fell on top of Denari,” said Detective Greg Bacon with Tempe Police.
Denari is believed to have suffocated after his mother fell on him.
Police say the 4-month-old’s father, who works the night shift, was asleep upstairs at the time. He discovered the bodies when he woke up, six hours after the last time he saw Larinique and his son alive.
“This looks like it’s a health-related issue. Father seems to be very hard-working, trying to provide for his family, works nights, ran some errands that morning for the family, specifically for the baby. So, it’s just a very tragic situation, and we mourn for them,” Bacon said.
Police say they don’t suspect foul play.

Florida man allegedly hanged veteran’s support dog — because it was barking
A Florida man was arrested for allegedly hanging a veteran’s emotional support dog with an electrical cord — because it was barking, according to new reports.
Robert Leroy Edwards, 38, was renting a room in a Manatee County home belonging to disabled Navy vet Richard Hunt’s adult son when the heart-breaking incident occurred early Wednesday, local media reported.
Midnight, Hunt’s emotional support dog, was also staying on the property — and the man allegedly became enraged at the pooch’s barking and strangled the black lab to death with the cord, WFLA reported.
“[My son] called me hysterical,” Hunt told WFTS. “He said someone is killing Midnight, he is killing Midnight. He is trying to hang her. He’s hanging her.”
Edwards then allegedly woke Hunt’s other son, 16, who was sleeping in the home, and asked the teen to help hide the dog’s remains.
He refused — so Edwards punched him, local authorities told the outlet.
Hunt’s older son walked outside to see what was going on — only to be attacked by Edwards as well, the local sheriff’s office told the news station.
The older son then called 911, and Edwards was arrested for battery, contributing to the delinquency of a minor and torture charges — two misdemeanors and a felony.
Deputies later found Midnight’s body hidden inside the family’s boat on the property.
“I can see [Midnight’s] face that last minute,” Hunt told WFTS.
“I can see her struggling, not understanding what’s going on, my heart, I mean, he’s such a scumbag to have done that to her.”
Edwards’ next court date is scheduled for Feb. 21.
“He needs to have the book thrown at him,” Hunt told WFLA. “And if the book’s not heavy enough, we need to find more books. That’s just how I feel about it.”
