Man arrested for allegedly stealing pills from his mother's bra
A Memphis woman said she woke up before sunrise on Wednesday to find her son stealing her prescription medication, which she said she keeps in her bra to keep it away from him.
She tried to restrain her son, but he allegedly took the Xanax, according to a police affidavit. She called the police to her home on Victor in the Kingsbury neighbourhood. Officers said they found the son hiding under a neighbour's SUV.
Officers searched the son's bedroom and reported finding crack pipes, some pills, a needle, a spoon with methamphetamine on it and other drug paraphernalia.
When officers searched the son, Charlie Boyd, 28, they found 22 generic Xanax pills on him, including 15 wrapped in toilet paper stuck in his sock. Boyd was charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was in jail Thursday with bond set at $40,000
Chef Almost Became Croc's Dinner
NORTHERN Territory Australia chef Kyle MacLennan almost became the meal during a recent swim at Mandorah.
And no one knew how narrowly he escaped until days later. Mr MacLennan, 26, was swimming from the beach to a boat in the small marina at Mandorah, when his mum Lui MacLennan snapped a picture of her boy.
She did not look at the photos until she returned to Sydney days later.
"No one even knew it was there," Mr MacLennan said.
"I was at Mandorah with my mum and her friend.
"I was completely unaware until I saw the pic."
Mr MacLennan said it had to be a real croc.
"I was really hoping it was a practical joke being played by my mum," he said. "But she assures me it wasn't.
"It looks like it was looking right at me. It's not that huge."
Mr MacLennan said they were touring Mandorah, taking photos of lighthouses for his mum's friend who is an avid pharophile - and is writing a book on the topic.
"It was a couple of days later when they got back to Sydney (that they saw the photo)," he said.
"There were a couple of frantic emails. (Mum) is always telling me to be safe."
