Chocolate cocaine bars confiscated at Dulles airport
A cocaine dealer with a sweet tooth is out of luck if he’s looking for his chocolate bars with the powdered cocaine filling.
Customs officials seized the chocolate bar shipment — street value $130,000 — at Dulles International Airport on Sunday, April 22.
The cocaine was discovered in the luggage of a Guatemalan woman who arrived on a flight from El Salvador on Sunday.
According to the Washington examiner, a suspicious Customs and Border Protection officer found the unusual looking chocolate bars, cut one open, and found a bar of cocaine wrapped in plastic, covered in chocolate, said CBP spokesman Robert Hunt.
Pilar Sanders smirks in her mugshot from jail
Pilar Sanders’ mugshot has hit the internets. In the mugshot taken at a Dallas jail last night following her arrest on domestic abuse charges, Pilar smirks at the camera. The fallout from Sanders’ arrest is likely to be huge. She will certainly lose custody of her minor children, and any endorsements she acquired as a result of being married to former NFL star Deion Sanders.
A judge will probably force her to move out of the residence she shares with Deion, since he will ask for a restraining order. According to Deion’s daughter, Deiondra Sanders, Pilar had refused to move out of the mansion.
Deion took to his Twitter page last night to tweet about the attack by Pilar and a female friend, known as @Toothickchick on Twitter.com.
Lawyer shot 8 times clinging to life
The subpar ratings for the Residences of Morgan Falls apartments in the Sandy Springs suburb of Atlanta tells the story of residents living in fear for their lives.
It’s not just the open air drug dealing, or the crumbling structures that cause 2nd floor railings to give way at the slightest touch — it’s the two shootings that occurred there within a week of each other.
Just two days after turning 40, attorney Adina Parson was shot eight times — 3 times in the head — and left for dead in the breezeway of her apartment building.
On Monday she was in critical but stable condition in Grady Memorial hospital’s ICU unit, a close friend told the AJC.
So far, Sandy Springs police have no leads.
“Adina is very loving person so we’re all baffled,” Lisa Baker, Parson’s friend, said by telephone from Grady. “It just doesn’t fit. We’re just dumbfounded.”
Parson was on her way to pick her husband up from work when she was shot around 11:45 p.m. Friday, according to the AJC. The shooter, laying in wait, emptied a gun clip into her — a sign that the shooting may not have been random.
Sanford Police Chief Resigns, the same day Zimmerman is released on bond *Updated*
Scroll down for updates…
Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman, 28, was released from the Seminole County Jail after posting bail in Sanford, Florida, early Monday morning. Zimmerman, wearing a brown Pittsburgh Steelers jacket and blue jeans, walked out of the jail and climbed into a white BMW before speeding off.
Zimmerman will stand trial on second-degree murder charges in the death of unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin later this year.
He was granted $150,000 bail by a judge on Friday. During the bond hearing, Zimmerman apologized to Trayvon’s parents despite their refusal to meet with him.
Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara was praised for urging his client to take the stand. But in a surprising reversal today, O’Mara apologized for Zimmerman’s apology, saying the apology was “ill-timed.”
Alleged photo of Zimmerman’s bloody head surfaces
A photographer has released a photo to the media reportedly showing George Zimmerman’s bloody head after an altercation with 17-year-old Trayvon Martin ended in the teenager’s murder.
According to ABC News, which obtained the photo, the photographer claims to have taken the photo “three minutes after he shot and killed Martin.”
Serious head wounds bleed profusely. They do not stop bleeding after 3 minutes. As a registered nurse, I do not see life threatening injuries in that photo.
The photo should not be allowed into evidence because it could have been taken at any time between Feb. 26 and the day he was arrested. The prosecution will likely rely on photos that were taken during the booking process by Sanford police, rather than the photo obtained by ABC, which could easily have been Photoshopped.
Judge Sets $150,000 Bond for Zimmerman
A judge in Seminole County, Florida today set a $150,000 bond for neighborhood watch killer George Zimmerman, according to CNN.
The bond comes with condition, which include GPS monitoring, no possession of firearms, no use of controlled substances, other than those prescribed by a physician, and no contact with the victim’s family.
The judge told Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, to meet with the state (special prosecutor Angela Corey) to determine whether Zimmerman could live out of state for his protection.
He must also meet with the state to be fitted for a GPS ankle bracelet, which means he likely won’t be released until Monday.
ALEC Stops Advocating ‘Stand Your Ground Law’ After Losing Corporate Sponsors in Wake of Trayvon Martin Shooting
ALEC, the conservative right-wing group responsible for pushing the controversial ‘Stand Your Ground’ laws in many states says it will stop advocating the law. This action comes after activist groups called for a national boycott of ALEC following the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida.
ALEC, the American Legislative Exchange Council, announced its plan to move away from sticky law enforcement policies, such as Stand Your Ground, and return to its economic roots, according to the NY Times.
As a result of the national boycott, numerous corporate sponsors — including Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Kraft foods and McDonald’s — announced they have dropped their financial support of ALEC.
“The issue of a young man being killed and linked to this organization made it much harder for companies to say, ‘Gee, this is a great organization that we want to support,’ ” said David Halperin, a senior fellow for United Republic, a liberal nonprofit group.
