CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (Dec. 17) -- Tennessee investigators say a 4-year-old boy was found roaming his neighborhood in the night, drinking beer and wearing a little girl's dress taken from under a neighbor's Christmas tree.

The child's mother, 21-year-old April Wright, tells WTVC-TV the boy "wants to go to jail because that's where his daddy is." Wright says she and the boy's father are going though a divorce.

The boy, found outside his house in Chatanooga on Tuesday, was taken to a hospital and treated for alcohol consumption.

INDIANAPOLIS -- A man was arrested after police said he left his 5-year-old son in a tractor-trailer while he ducked into an Indianapolis strip club to drink. The 39-year-old was arrested at 1:15 a.m. Tuesday on child neglect and public intoxication charges after calling police to report his truck stolen and his child missing. Police said the man was too drunk to remember where he had parked.

They found the boy inside watching cartoons on a television inside the cab. The keys were in the ignition, and the doors were unlocked.

Police said the suspect put his son in jeopardy by leaving him exposed in a high crime area.

The man was taken to the Marion County jail, where his wife picked up him and the child.

Dude!

Cops Say Pot Dealer Booked

“Can I really get in trouble for smoking pot?”

That’s a question posted in Chapter Five of The Official High Times Pot Smoker’s Handbook. And now, a Dunnellon, FL man can answer that question with an emphatic, “totally, dude.”

Zachary Frye, pictured, was arrested Sunday night and charged with eight counts of possession of marijuana with intent to sell, ten counts of drug paraphernalia possession, and marijuana possession of more than fifty grams.

According to the Marion County Sheriff, here’s how it went down:

Someone called 911 on Sunday evening after allegedly seeing Frye trying to flag down a ride from the side of the road with a flashlight.

When police arrived, Frye told them his motorcycle had broken down.  A deputy offered him a lift, but told Frye he’d have to submit to a pat down, for safety reasons.  Frye consented. 

Bad idea.

The deputy says he found "a large bulge in Frye's jean pocket" which turned out to be a  plastic bag of marijuana.

An inspection of the suspects' backpack allegedly turned up eight other bags of marijuana, a digital scale, a pot pipe, a glass crack pipe and a grinder.   He also had with him a copy of the aforementioned hashish handbook.

Whoa, now that’s harsh.
