Okay, I know I should have posted this a week ago, but it’s still pretty funny.
Recently, I noticed a Sioux City woman had been indicted for a federal drug conspiracy charge in U.S. District Court in Sioux City.
But there’s a twist or two in this tale.
(more…)
He also chatted with them on the police radio, too.
That’s what the Austin Post-Bulletin of southeast Minnesota says happened after police responded to a report of a man threatening his relative with a knife Friday night in Lyle, Minn.
It sounds like police realized suspect Jerry Winkel allegedly stole one of their squad cars when they heard the following over their police radios:
”What do you intend to do with Jeremy Winkel — take him to the hospital or jail?”
I guess it’s always good to know what your options are.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have another family on the run.
Authorities say a southwestern Minnesota woman and her 13-year-old son have fled the state, possibly the country, to avoid court-ordered chemotherapy treatment for the boy.
Danny Hauser has cancer.
His parents, Anthony and Colleen Hauser, fought a losing legal battle to continue to treat their son’s Hodgkin’s lymphoma according to their Internet-based Native American religion. They did not want to use chemotherapy.
A Sioux City woman pleaded guilty to state charges that she bought or “smurfed” ingredients for a man who oversaw a huge Siouxland meth-manufacturing conspiracy.
According to court documents, Breann Ebner, 24, of Sioux City, pleaded guilty Wednesday to conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine.
Woodbury County District Court Judge John D. Ackerman suspended Ebner’s 10-year prison sentence and ordered her to serve three years of probation.
According to court documents, Ebner admitted to buying 25 boxes of pseudoephedrine for Anthony Grenier, who she lived with for a time.
Police were summoned to the Brass Rail for an alarm early Tuesday morning, but not because someone was trying to break into the bar.
No, someone was trying to break out.
It was the head butt heard ’round the entertainment world.
Entertainment web sites (and the wire services) are buzzing with reports of Kiefer Sutherland’s latest escapade: allegedly head butting a fashion designer at a party.
This weekend, Sioux City police investigating a hit-and-run traffic accident discovered they had more than just a bad driver on their hands.
They had Andrew Carlos Orellana, a man accused first-degree murder for allegedly gunning down a South Sioux City teen in a gang-related shooting in 1997.
After 12 years evading police, it was truly a minor accident that got Orellana caught.
Hindsight is 20-20.
However, if a police officer can hear you breaking into a building while he is still inside his office, maybe you should find a target a little farther away.
As in, not right next to the police station.
The upcoming tour of Historic Homes and Churches in LeMars just got a little more interesting.
Since 1997, the event has highlighted the city’s most interesting architectural features in old homes, businesses and churches. In that respect, this year will be no different.
However, I’m guessing this is probably the first time in 12 years the tour will include the site of a recent drug bust whose owner is accused of dealing drugs.
But I could be wrong.
