Just When You Thought You Heard It All News 4-5-2015

 A state trooper in Austin, Texas has been reprimanded for posing for a photo with Snoop Dogg at the South by Southwest festival in Austin, because the rapper has several convictions for drug possession. 

Well, it's not like he was posing with DMX! Now that would be a crime

Billy Spears was working security at the March event when Snoop Dogg asked to take a picture with him. The artist posted the image to Instagram with the comment, "Me n my deputy dogg."

Department of Public Safety and Transportation officials saw the posting and cited Spears for deficiencies that require counseling by a supervisor.

Spears' attorney says his client didn't know about the rapper's criminal record. 

REALLY?!

Spears can't appeal the citation because it isn't a formal disciplinary action.

A department spokesman says the agency doesn't discuss or release specifics of personnel issues unless they result in disciplinary action.

 A Utah man got a surprise when he stopped to pull a large orange bag off the highway, fearing that it would become a traffic hazard.

"I thought it was going to be light. I reached down to grab it, and I couldn't move it," Kennedy said.

Approximately 4 feet tall and 2 feet wide, the sack was filled with smaller bags packed with currency including $50 and $100 bills. Kennedy estimated each of the small bags contained $22,000.............AND HE TOLD?!?!.......

It was unclear Thursday how much money the entire bag contained.

Kennedy tried but failed to chase down the Brink's armored truck that had lost the bag. He then drove the money to his work parking lot and called the police.

I would have been singing, "I'm walking in the favor of God! His grace and mercy has brought me this far!"

The three Utah Highway Patrol troopers were "stunned" at the bag of money, Kennedy said.

"Never in all my years have I heard of a bag of money bouncing out of the back of an armored truck," said trooper Brady Zaugg. "That's something that happens in the spy movies."

Kennedy said it never occurred to him to do anything other than turn in the money.............

"He hadn't disturbed it at all, so he obviously did the right thing for the right reason," said Zaugg, who said Kennedy reported his find to the police immediately.

Brink's employees told police they drove over a bad bump on a highway off-ramp but didn't notice the back latch opening or the bag falling out.

Kennedy said he hasn't heard anything about a reward for his good deed, but he was still excited by the unusual discovery.

"I was just jazzed all day long," he said

Side Bar: Do not look directly into her eyes and do not meet her gaze. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!!!

Police in Akron, Ohio, said "Fiery" Phyllis Jefferson, 50, allegedly stabbed her boyfriend in the groin with a pen Sunday evening after he ate all the salsa in their house.

Imagine what might have happened if he ate all of the ketchup!!

Jefferson's boyfriend, Ronnie D. Bucker, 61, told police that he and the accused were arguing about the salsa consumption when she allegedly stabbed him with the pen.

The suspect then walked over to the TV and threatened to knock it on the floor.

When Buckner grabbed the TV, Jefferson allegedly walked to the kitchen to grab a knife and used it to cut him in the stomach.

Jefferson fled the scene while Buckner called 911. Responding officers found him on the floor clutching his stomach.

Buckner was taken to a nearby hospital and treated for injuries that were believed to be non-life threatening.

Jefferson was arrested a short time when officers pulled her over on the highway. She allegedly admitted to stabbing Buckner and said she did it "because she wanted to leave."

Jefferson was charged with felonious assault and criminal damaging and booked into the Summit County Jail.
