Police: Woman drives drunk, spits on officer

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I am not sure there is anything worse than a drunk, but maybe a spitting drunk will make me change my mind.   Lock ‘er up and put her in one of those spit hoods for a couple days and that’ll cure that!

WILLISTON, Vt. (AP) — Police said they had their hands full with a drunken driving suspect who allegedly struggled during her arrest, spat on an officer and later tried to bolt from a hospital emergency room. The woman, 22, was pulled over about 3 a.m. Saturday after police saw her driving with no lights on and in an erratic fashion. After registering .144 on a blood-alcohol content test, she allegedly spat on a police officer and was taken to Fletcher Allen Health Care after complaining of back pain.

Police said she was disorderly with ER personnel there and tried to flee.

The woman was charged with DUI, assault on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct.

Where’s the crime here, if someone spit in my Taco he or she would be lucky to get off that easy!  It’d most likely come over the counter and knock someone out.  Ewwwwww

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — An Alaska man who hit a Taco Bell manager in the face with a double-decker taco has been sentenced to one day in jail and one year probation. Warren Strickland of Fairbanks must also pay a $100 fine after pleading guilty Tuesday to disorderly conduct.

The 31-year-old says he threw the taco because it contained spit after he went through the drive-thru twice because the restaurant messed up his order. He claims the manager accused him of lying to get free food.

Strickland is barred from Taco Bell during his year of probation.

Taco Bell is owned by Yum! Brands.

Dad, son excel at cricket-spitting

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

As we all grow up in life we realize that we have talents that others don’t have.  Some realize they are artists, musicians, computer geeks or whatever, but where did you go wrong in life when you realized that you were good at cricket spitting?

MARSHFIELD, Wis. (AP) — When it comes to spitting a cricket for distance, the central Wisconsin talent seems concentrated in one Marshfield family. Brian Johnsrud spat a thawed cricket 22 feet, 8 inches at the Central Wisconsin State Fair on Saturday. Minutes later, his son Jared shot his cricket 10 feet, 5 inches to win the 9-to-11 age division.

Brian Johnsrud said the key is to pick the biggest cricket and put it upside down on your tongue. He also said you have to take the deep breath before putting the cricket in your mouth, so you don’t swallow the critter.
