Irregular News for 02.16.07 Cartersville, GA -- A Bartow County couple will go before a magistrate judge today to see if they will be arrested for allegedly stalking a Kennesaw police officer by installing cameras to track neighborhood speeders. Lee and Teresa Sipple spent $1,200 mounting three video cameras and a radar speed unit outside their home, which is at the bottom of a hill. They have said they did so in hopes of convincing neighbors to slow down to create a safe environment for their son. The Sipples allegedly caught Kennesaw police officer Richard Perrone speeding up to 17 mph over the speed limit. Perrone alerted Bartow authorities, who in turn visited the Sipples' home to tell them Perrone intended to press charges against them for stalking. source

Irregular News for 02.16.07 Gig Harbor, WA -- Anni Sheriffius said she was trying to wash off what she thought was dirt on her dog Jasmine’s ear when the ear fell off. Sheriffius rushed her dog to the veterinarian to learn that the dog’s ear had been cut off by a dog groomer and super-glued back on. “And I saw the ear float away, and it freaked me out,” Sheriffius said. Jasimine, a shi tzu, had to undergo treatment for an infection. Sheriffius said she still has the ear in a plastic bag, and has been crying for weeks at the thought of someone hurting her dog. Pierce County sheriff’s investigators are looking into possible criminal charges against the unlicensed dog groomer. “Once they tried to hide it and glued the ear back on, that’s not good for the dog. There are all kinds of things that can happen, infection, it's cruelty to animals,” Det. Ed Troyer said. The shop where Jasmine was injured, J’Raes Pet Grooming, appears to have shut down, KIRO 7 Eyewitness News reported. “I’d like her never, ever to touch another dog, that’s what I’d like to see,” Sheriffius said. source

Irregular News for 02.15.07 Amsterdam, Netherlands -- Romeo, Romeo, where are your clothes, Romeo? An Amsterdam judge has ruled that peep shows -- where sex workers performing strip shows and explicit acts can be watched from booths -- are a form of theater and club owners are therefore entitled to a hefty tax break. "Admitting customers to peep shows is equivalent to admitting them to a theater performance," an Amsterdam Appeals Court judge wrote in a ruling late last month that was made public Tuesday. "The erotic character of the performance does not diminish that." The national daily De Telegraaf reported that owners of peep shows could receive thousands of dollars back as a result of the ruling. "Working in a peep show is very labor intensive, so it's great if you have to pay less tax," Andre van Dorst, of an association of Dutch sex club owners, told De Telegraaf. source

Irregular News for 02.15.07 Southbury, CT -- A Danbury man's plans to bail himself out after a drug bust went more than a bit awry over the weekend. State police said that a small safe that Nakia Davis, 32, had his aunt bring in to the Southbury barracks not only contained $5,000 in cash for bail, but also drug paraphernalia and 16 grams of cocaine, leading to more charges. Davis had been pulled over for speeding on Interstate 84 in Southbury. With the help of a police dog, marijuana was seized from the car, and police found 43 baggies of cocaine weighing 48 grams when they patted Davis down, police said. Davis arranged for his aunt to bring a small safe which Davis claimed contained money for his bail. State police said when Davis' aunt opened the safe in front of a state police trooper, inside was the cash, but also drug paraphernalia and 16 grams of cocaine. Additional drug charges were filed against Davis and his bond was increased to $125,000. He was later bailed out by another relative. Davis was charged with possession of narcotics with intent to sell, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and speeding. source

Irregular News for 02.15.07 Jacksonville, FL -- A girl who had a sexual relationship with a high school coach and tutor more than one year ago when she was 15 has filed suit against the Duval County School Board, claiming its negligence allowed at least one of the sexual encounters. Esmond Frazier, a 25-year-old assistant volleyball coach and after-school tutor at Lee High School, was convicted of lewd battery with the teenage student and served six months in jail. The student, now 17, hired an attorney to sue the school board, claiming it was negligent when they hired Frazier. While police reports indicate the sex was consensual and occurred over a period of time, the incident when Frazier took her out of class and to a nearby motel during school hours makes the school district liable. "As a parent, we trust our children into the hands of schools and they have the responsibility to make sure they're cared for," Attorney Curry Pajcic said. "In this case, a teacher allowed a young child to be taken out of the classroom and taken to a hotel." Pajcic said the school district was negligent in monitoring Frazier and for allowing the young lady to be removed from class during school hours. "He went into her classroom, while she was in class, took her out of class, walked her out of the high school and took her to a hotel," Pajcic said. "Persons should be held accountable for their actions -- that is a principle we all stand by. Hopefully they will voluntarily be held accountability -- hopefully we won't have to go to court." Attorneys for the school board said they cannot comment on pending litigation. source

Holy-G! 48, that's some serious aging you've got going on there! I would wish you a happy birthday but I doubt you have too many good days at that age anymore..

Irregular News for 02.14.07 Tampa, FL -- Genevieve Chandler has been visiting the Lowry Park Zoo since she was a kid, but the tour she got the other night was definitely not the G-rated fare of her childhood. Among the things Chandler, 30, and her date learned on their "Wild at Heart" zoo tour: Male pigs have a unique corkscrew endowment and impressive, um, output; manatees have orgies and don't really care if their partners are male or female; and a male porcupine has only one four-hour window a year to mate - very carefully, of course. Valentine's Day is the time of year when zoos around the nation seek to woo a new adult audience with risque tours that couple champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and candlelight dining with impressive facts about how animals do the wild thing. Credit for the concept goes to Jane Tollini, a former penguin keeper at the San Francisco Zoo. Tollini conceived the idea two decades ago while watching her penguins' courtship ritual, which culminates in what she describes as "bowling pins making love." "The keepers get there early and we see things that other people don't see," Tollini said. "And I went, 'My God, that's fascinating.' You know the old Peter Sellers line, 'I like to watch?' You kind of go, 'Oh my, my, my. How big? How many? How far?' It was unbelievable." She set the ritual to Johnny Mathis - the makeout tunes of her generation - pitched it to her bosses and a new zoo tradition was born. The idea soon spread to other zoos. San Francisco calls it "Woo at the Zoo." New York City's Central Park Zoo calls it "Jungle Love." Zoo marketing folks in Boise, Idaho, named the tour "Wild Love at the Zoo." Zoos charge about $50 per person for the tours, and crowds are kept deliberately inmate. Many zoos, including Lowry Park, have added additional nights to handle Valentine's overflow. "It's a fundraiser, but it's definitely not our largest," said Rachel Nelson, Lowry Park's director of public relations. "It's a way to introduce a new audience to the zoo." Tollini puts it more bluntly. "Sex sells. No matter what," Tollini said. "I wish I had a nickel for everybody that has copied me. But not every city is as liberal as San Francisco and can get away with what I do." Even in San Francisco, zoo sex tours are mostly all talk and no action. Animals do it when they please, or, in some cases, when their human keepers deem it appropriate. Tour guides in Tampa warned of possible manatee make-out sessions. But the giant mammals were content to munch on vegetation while the tour group ate a candlelight dinner in front of the zoo's massive aquarium windows. "Manatees are not particular," Nelson said. "We have only males right now and they don't seem to care." Despite the blunt talk on the tour, many in the Saturday crowd in Tampa were coy about their reasons for attending. "I really like the zoo and I thought it was a nice thing to do with my boyfriend for Valentine's Day," Chandler said. Her most memorable statistic: "whales have like 10-foot-long whatevers." Hillsborough Community College professor Mara Manis said the evening's unique educational twist attracted her to the tour. "People always look to do something on Valentine's Day. It's one of those holidays where everything has been done so many times. It's so forced." Manis said. "And this is different." Her date, landscape architect John Tate, made it clear he hoped to cash in on the "King of the Jungle" title he won earlier in the evening. His moves were deemed the best in a contest showcasing how some male animals must win their mates with elaborate dances. "This is the only time of year I have free license," Tate said, smiling. Statistics about whale endowments and monkey love may not prove useful on the human dating scene, but a scent-marking experiment with big cats could prove useful when selecting a cologne to wear - or not to wear - on a tiger tour in India. "Apparently," Nelson said, "tigers prefer Obsession." source

Irregular News for 02.14.07 Elicott City, MD -- A running feud between neighbors in Columbia's River Hill Village community has resulted in two days in jail for one of them. Forty-seven-year-old Timothy Cerny was sentenced Monday after he was found guilty of second-degree assault for spitting at neighbor David Elliott during an argument last spring about grass clippings placed in bags near Cerny's property. The incident was part of a series of run-ins spanning eight years and resulting in 100 calls to police. The spitting spat also was caught on Elliott's video camera. The tension began years ago when the Cernys planned to build a backyard pool that would have faced the Elliotts' front yard. In all, 12 criminal cases were filed and the Elliotts filed a lawsuit last month seeking compensation for legal costs. source

Irregular News for 02.13.07 Clearwater, FL -- Walt Disney sailed into fame and fortune with Steamboat Willie featuring Mickey Mouse. Clearwater resident Steven Stein thinks he has Disney's original drawing of the famous character. "Nobody else would have done anything this big of this character in the 1920's except Walt Disney," Stein claimed. Stein says he paid a New York City thrift store $3 for the drawing in 1984, and he says he's spent many years and many dollars authenticating the artwork. "I've had the ink test-dated. I've had the paper test-dated. The ink tests to the mid 1920's," he said. That date would be after Disney created a character called Oswald the Rabbit, lost the rights to that creature, and came up with another one. If the drawing Stein has does turn out to be Disney's first rendition of the Mickey character, his name was not yet Mickey; it was Mortimer. Disney's wife thought Mortimer Mouse was far too serious a name. Stein claims the Disney Corporation has refused to even look at his drawing since he approached them in 1989. "I've asked them many times to either see it, tell me why they don't think it is what it is, answer my evidence," he said. Now Stein is taking Disney to court. "I'm suing them for $50-million, the copyright on Mickey Mouse, and the right to tell the Walt Disney story," said Stein. Stein believes somebody must have a copy of an old newsreel showing his drawing over the shoulder of a very young Walt Disney. Perhaps his lawsuit will flush that film out, and prove he possesses one very valuable mouse. Stein also claims there are markings on the back of his drawing in the handwriting of Walt Disney. source

Irregular News for 02.13.07 Washington DC -- U.S. Rep. Dan Burton this morning apologized for missing 19 votes to play in a golf tournament in January. Burton, R-Indianapolis, who has not responded to requests for comment, made his apology during an appearance on a conservative radio talk show in Indianapolis. The Indianapolis Star reported Feb. 6 that Burton skipped votes and hearings to play in a golf tournament. Burton told talk show host Greg Garrison that he made reservations to play in the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic when Republicans were still in control of the House. When Democrats took control, he did not expect them to schedule votes so early in the month. "I probably made a mistake," he said. He said, however, he hasn't yet met the perfect person who hasn't made any mistakes. Burton missed votes to reduce college costs and cut oil industry tax breaks so he could play in the Palm Springs, Calif. golf tournament in January. Burton also missed hearings on Iraq and North Korea to play in the event, which pairs top golfers with politicians and celebrities such as actor and director Clint Eastwood. The Star's review of House votes for the past decade shows the Indianapolis Republican has been absent every year votes coincided with the tournament: 2007, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2001. This year in January, he missed a total of 20 out of 73 votes. Burton was last in voting among Indiana lawmakers in 2006, casting ballots in 89 percent of the 541 recorded votes. source

Irregular News for 02.13.07 London, England -- Size zero models in town for London Fashion Week now have one less excuse to skip a meal. A restaurant popular with celebrities and fashionistas is offering free food to skinny models who have come under attack for promoting a stick-thin image which critics says encourages eating disorders in young women. Bumpkin restaurant in trendy Notting Hill is offering models with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of less than 18 the opportunity to gorge on fish pies, lamb burgers, king prawns and scallops. "If I could recommend a dish to a size zero model, it would be a charter pie containing leeks, chicken and bacon; it's enough to keep you warm and energised all day," Bumpkin general manager Dariush Nejad said in a statement on Monday. The issue of size zero or "skinny models" has dogged fashion shows around the world after two anorexic Latin American models died last year and has been under the international spotlight during the spring fashion season in New York, Milan, Paris and London, which began on Sunday. Madrid last year banned models with a BMI below 18 from taking part in fashion shows. BMI is a measure expressed as a ratio of weight to height. A BMI limit of 18 means a 5-foot-8 inch (173 cm) model must weigh at least 120 pounds (54 kg). Models with a BMI of less than 18 who visit Bumpkin for lunch or dinner will be invited to select any food off the menu, simply by showing their modelling card which states if they are size zero, the restaurant said. The restaurant boasts of its popularity with the London glitterati, saying recent visitors included fashion designer Stella McCartney, filmmaker Guy Ritchie, popstar Simon le Bon and his wife Yasmin. source

Irregular News for 02.12.07 Rockville, MD -- Counseling officials in Maryland are being heavily criticized for introducing a lesson to four different schools – in which students were supposed to chew and pass around the same piece of gum. The lesson was created by the Rockville (Md.) pregnancy counseling center in order to show students how easily sexually transmitted diseases are spread from person to person. A speaker from the counseling center asked students to chew the same piece of gum to see how many would be willing to do it. School officials say at least 100 students participated in the exercise, but not all of them chewed the gum. The county’s director of school health services called the lesson unsanitary and unacceptable. Many parents were also angered by the issue. School officials say employees from the counseling center will not be asked to speak to their students again in the future. source

Irregular News for 02.12.07 Lewiston, NY -- Lewiston Police arrested 59-year-old Joan Donatelli of Lewiston Tuesday with criminal possession of a controlled substance and two counts of endangering the welfare of a child. School officials confirm Donatelli is a retired first grade teacher with the district. Lewiston Police say she was substituting in a fourth grade class on February 1st. That's when they say two fourth grade girls, one nine-years-old, the other 10-years-old, spotted Donatelli repeatedly dipping a pen cap into a small green plastic bag filled with white powder, and bringing it up to her nose. Jessica Weinstein: "What was it about the way they spoke to you that made them believable?" Sergeant Frank Previte, Lewiston Police says, "First of all their candor. Their account of everything in stating what they saw. They were very specific about the color of the bag, the color of the pencaps that were used, which all again, we were able to back up." Police say the girls were seated less than five feet from the teacher when it happened. Lewiston Police say they found trace amounts of a white powder in the classroom. They say they later went to Donatelli's Lewiston home where she admitted to using cocaine in front of the students. "She stated that she had a problem, that she has an addiction, something she's been struggling with," said Previte. Lewiston Police further say she turned over the little green bag and two pen caps. Police had them tested, and they were found positive for the presence of cocaine. Donatelli was issued an appearance ticket and is due to appear back in court February 21. Lewiston-Porter Central Schools has an intensive drug and character education program for its students beginning in Kindergarten. School officials confirm Donatelli taught full-time during the 2003-2004 school year. That curriculum, say school officials, would have included a drug-education curriculum. Jessica Weinstein: "So Joan Donatelli as a former full-time 1st grade teacher in this district for a year would have used this curriculum?" Peggy Beach, elementary principal: "I would say she would have used this curriculum. Yes." School officials could not confirm whether the students who reported Donatelli would have been in her first grade class. source

Irregular News for 02.12.07 United Kingdom -- Englishwoman Sue Rogers will never be without her dead dogs and cat after having a diamond ring made from their ashes. A newspaper reported Ms Rogers, from Devon in south-west England, paid 3,200 pounds ($A8,000) for the ring made from carbon extracted from the ashes of Lucky, an old English sheepdog, a golden retriever-cross called Sam and a tom cat called Patch. "I am delighted with my ring as it means I can have my pets with me at all times," Ms Rogers told the Daily Mail newspaper. "My animals meant the world to me and even though they are gone they are still with me. It's a beautiful ring and such a brilliant idea." Ms Rogers, 44, had previously kept the ashes of her pets on her mantelpiece until she learnt of LifeGem UK, which makes diamonds from the remains of humans and pets. A small amount of carbon from each set of ashes was heated at temperatures of 3,000 degrees Celsius to help make a rough diamond. The stone was then polished and certified before being set in a gold band. source

Irregular News for 02.09.07 Rochester, NY -- Rush-Henrietta has a zero tolerance policy when it comes to fighting in schools. That isn't sitting well with some parents as it punishes not only the instigator, but also the victim. Some parents believe things are getting rough at the high school. One told R News about her son being attacked by two brothers. Amy Schubach says even though her son didn't fight, he received the same ten week suspension as the instigators. “The zero tolerance policy is really a no-thinking policy, and what it means is that they don't have to make a decision,” Schubach said. “So if someone attacks someone even from behind and the other one protects himself then they are also suspended. I feel they should have a policy that goes after the attackers or the instigators and makes them take the punishment.” The same two brothers were allegedly involved in an incident about ten days ago in the gym locker room. The victim's mother says she was called to pick up her son and take him to the emergency room. “He was cut up above his eye which required six stitches and on his head which required three,” Karen Nagy explained. And just like Amy Shubach's son, Nagy's was suspended. “I don't understand why the school is holding my son reliable and suspending my son for five days when the aggressors went after my son,” Nagy questioned. Rush-Henrietta students engaged in fighting, whether they are the attacker or the victim, are prosecuted. Three students recently involved in an altercation appeared in Henrietta Town Court on Tuesday, all three will be back here next week. Karen Nagy's son was one of them. Nikko Narvaez and his brother Eddie were the others. Even though the Narvaez brothers were the alleged instigators, their mother has issues with the school's policy. “I have gone to plenty of meetings at this high school; I have spoken to plenty of people. I have received no resolution,” said Sandra Narvaez. “What do I get? Letters in the mail. I got to go to court, because my children have been in trouble.” Nikko says he's fed up with Rush-Henrietta's zero tolerance policy and may look into transferring to another school. “I'll just go on to something else and succeed in what I'm going to do and look at them and say hey, you could have looked at me and proud of being one of your students and a Rush-Henrietta graduate to do something big, but now I'm part of this school and making this school look good,” Nikko said. Telephone calls to Rush-Henrietta Central School District officials seeking comment on their zero tolerance policy were not returned. source

Irregular News for 02.09.07 Boston, MA -- A student is suing a Massachusetts university over what he says is an unfair grade in a philosophy course, saying it could kill his chances of entering law school. Brian Marquis, 50, said on Wednesday that he filed the lawsuit against the University of Massachusetts last week after receiving a "C" instead of the "A minus" he had expected. "Quite frankly, I find this utterly unacceptable," Marquis, who worked as a legal assistant before returning to college, said from the university in Amherst in western Massachusetts. The teaching assistant redrew the grading scale "to make grades more representative of student performance", which turned Marquis's 92.1 percent points into 84 percent, which became a C, according to an e-mail by the teaching assistant. At the university, an 84 percent score can produce a grade between "A-" to a "C" depending on the professor's preferences, according to the school newspaper, the Daily Collegian. School officials declined to comment on the case. Sheldon Steinbach, a former chief attorney for the American Council on Education, representing over 1,800 colleges for over three decades, said such cases are rare and the handful of students who have sued over grades typically lost in court. source

Irregular News for 01.07.07 Halifax, Canada -- For any student who has struggled to pay for tuition while dining on macaroni and cheese, finding an abandoned wad of $10,000 in cash would be too good to be true. But when Jaime Hawkins of Riverview, N.B., stumbled upon a "loaf-of-bread-sized" stack of $20 bills next to a bank machine at Saint Mary's University in Halifax, the finance major immediately realized he couldn't keep the loot. "I was just so overwhelmed with the amount of money," Hawkins, 29, said Tuesday, about four weeks after the incident. "It just felt like the right thing to do to hand it over. I had this little voice inside of me that said, 'It's not yours. Hand it in.' " The stack, wrapped in elastic bands and barely visible beneath a shelving unit, was mistakenly left behind by two security guards who were refilling the machine in the student union building. Although it was short-lived, Hawkins said he enjoyed his newfound fortune by pumping his money-filled fist into the air and yelling, "party time" as astonished cafeteria-goers looked on, mouths agape. He then handed the entire stack to a worker at the student union building, who was "taken aback" when presented with the loot. Hawkins said he "feels good" about his decision even though he is now strapped for cash. About a week after finding the money, he discovered his New Brunswick student loan had been reassess, meaning he'll receive nearly $6,000 less than he initially thought. An extra $10,000 would have come in handy, especially for a student with a debt load of close to $50,000. "I've had a lot of people tell me that I was an idiot for handing it in," he said, laughing. "But at the same time, they say, 'You're a good guy for doing that.' " Toronto-based Group 4 Securicor, the firm that misplaced the money, said Hawkins and the student union building worker would each receive $500 rewards. "It's nice to know there's honest people in the world with integrity, whose mothers raised them right," said company spokeswoman Robin Steinberg, adding she believed the money had been there for "a very short time span." As for Hawkins, he said the story would have unfolded much the same, even if no one else been around. "I probably would have taken it home and rolled around in it for a bit," he said jokingly. "And then called the cops." source

Irregular News for 01.07.07 United Kingdom -- A health and safety expert has been banned from driving after he was caught shaving as he overtook a line of rush hour traffic at 70mph. Edward Hutcheson, 39, was seen leaning forward to look in his rear view mirror as he used an electric shaver. He was banned for six months and fined £300 after being found guilty of careless driving on the A9 near Auchterarder, Perthshire, last March. He told police he was late for a first aid course, Perth Sheriff Court heard. Hutcheson, who had previously worked on accident investigations with the police, also claimed he had been leaning across the car at an awkward angle so he could see past a dozen mannequins he had stored in the back of his car. The court heard how police officers saw him drive past their patrol vehicle as he used an electric shaver on his face and crane his head to look in the rear view mirror. It is near the top end of careless driving, considering the conditions you were driving in and what was going on. They turned round and chased Hutcheson from the entrance to Upper Cairnie Farm, near Auchterarder, before catching up with him a mile further on. He had one hand on the wheel and police said he appeared to be checking if he was "getting a good shave". Hutcheson, from Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, said he was a health and safety inspector and was running late to deliver a first aid training course in Dundee. Sheriff Michael Fletcher heard that Hutcheson stood to lose his job without a licence. The sheriff found him guilty of careless driving. "It is near the top end of careless driving, considering the conditions you were driving in and what was going on," the sheriff said. source

Irregular News for 01.07.07 Tampa, FL -- Less than a week after a 20-year-old pleaded guilty to murder in the 2005 shooting at McDonald's near King High School, one of the gunshot victims is suing the fast food restaurant for negligence. Alexander McKinnie was 19 when a bullet punctured his foot Nov. 17, 2005, as he walked from his car to the McDonald's, 6906 N 56th St. In a lawsuit filed Monday by attorney Mark Wright, McKinnie claims the restaurant did not take appropriate action to protect its customers from such "reasonably foreseeable criminal acts by third parties." McKinnie was one of four people shot that day in an afterschool parking lot skirmish that left Dalshon Walton, 17, a popular King High senior, dead. Last week, Otis Lorenzo Neal, 20, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 18 years in prison. The two other victims were former King High student Antonio Harris, then 16, and Damian Lamar Bowie, 15, a King High freshman. While Neal did the shooting, McKinnie's attorney said the incident could have been prevented had McDonald's taken action to curb violence that it knew existed "because of regular fighting amongst teenagers, gang activity, thefts, robberies, assaults and other crimes" that took place at the restaurant and in the vicinity. JTS Enterprises of Tampa, owner of that McDonald's, took actions that were, McKinnie's attorney said, "intentional, malicious, deliberately oppressive and committed with such gross negligence as to indicate a willful and wanton disregard for the rights of others," according to the lawsuit. Neither an attorney for JTS Enterprises nor a principal with the company could be reached to talk about the suit late Monday. McKinnie, who still has a bullet lodged in his foot, according to the lawsuit, is seeking compensatory damages and court costs. source

Irregular News for 02.06.07 Coralville, IA -- A Coralville man arrested for allegedly depositing marijuana at the bank last September is expected to have the charge dropped because the bank teller gave the pot back to him, the prosecutor in the case said Monday. Adrian Hilton, 26, was to stand trial today on a possession of marijuana charge. However, assistant Johnson County Attorney David Tiffany said the charge would be dismissed pending final approval by a judge. Police said Hilton, who worked for Pizza Pit, allegedly put his stash in a Pizza Pit deposit bag and dropped it in the night deposit box Sept. 17 at American Bank and Trust. Police said bank workers found a sandwich bag less than half full of marijuana in the Pizza Pit deposit bag. Hilton also completed a written statement for Pizza Pit, admitting the marijuana was his and inadvertently depositing it at the bank, according to a criminal complaint filed in Johnson County District Court. However, Tiffany said there is no physical evidence to support the charge. Hilton returned to the bank the next day looking for the marijuana, and a bank teller returned it to him. “The bank teller gave the marijuana back to him so we didn’t have any evidence,” Tiffany said. “She was smart enough to call police, but then she gave it back to him.” Tiffany said the bank teller would not face any charges. source
