Epitome Of A Bad MOTHER: Texas Mother Popped For Putting PCP In Her Daughters Turkey Sammich

Drugs are bad m’kay? Texas Mother Arrested For Putting PCP In Child’s Lunch Travis County sheriff’s investigators have charged a Del Valle woman after they say she put the drug PCP into her 6-year-old daughter’s school lunch, according to an arrest affidavit filed with Travis County courts today. Torina Ann Gutierrez, 34, faces a charge of endangering a child, a state jail felony. She is not currently in custody, according to jail records. The affidavit said that on May 4, Gutierrez’s daughter began acting strangely in her first-grade classroom, talking to people who were not there and saying she could hear “banging in her head.” A school counselor called Gutierrez to report what was going on, and Gutierrez said, “Don’t call EMS and don’t call (Child Protective Services), I’m on my way,” the affidavit said. Gutierrez picked the girl up from school, took her home and then called for paramedics, the affidavit said. The girl was tested at a hospital, which returned a positive result for PCP, a powerful and illegal hallucinogen, the affidavit said. She was removed from the home and placed with a family member. Gutierrez also tested positive for the drug, the affidavit said. The girl told investigators that Gutierrez made her lunch that day, and that after she ate it, she felt “crazy and dizzy,” and her lunch meat tasted like “fireworks,” the affidavit said. She called the drug “angel dust” and said she had seen the drug in her home before, the affidavit said. Source

Making It Rain On Them Hoes: Texas Law Mandates $5 “Pole Tax” On Strip Club Visitors!!

It’s not just the hoes that are gettin’ rained on in this case… The Texas law that imposes a $5-per-customer fee on nude dancing establishments does not violate free speech rights, the Texas Supreme Court ruled today. The unanimous ruling validates the so-called “pole tax,” created by the Legislature in 2007 but found to be unconstitutional by the 3rd Court of Appeals. “We think a $5 fee presents no greater burden on nude dancing,” Justice Nathan Hecht wrote for the court. “The fee is not a tax on unpopular speech but a restriction on combining nude dancing, which unquestionably has secondary effects, with the aggravating influence of alcohol consumption.” The ruling overturns the 3rd Court’s opinion that the $5 fee was improperly based on the content of protected speech because it singled out nude dancing. The opinion returns the case to Travis County District Court to address claims that the fee also violates the Texas Constitution. $5 per customer can add up to a nice lil piece of change just to see something strange. We’re sure some strip clubs will just add that fin to the admission price to get in the club. No bueno mane… Source

Should Lindsay Lohan Plea Bargain or Go to Trial?

She may cut her losses and take a short stint in jail or continue to fight what may be a losing battle. Either way, Lindsay Lohan will appear in court this week. The starlet is heading back to L.A. today with her brother Michael Jr., in what some sources say is a sign she is leaning towards accepting a plea deal after all. Lindsay stands charged with felony grand theft, having allegedly pilfered a $2,500 necklace. She faces up to a year in STATE prison if she’s convicted. She says she’s innocent, but it’s more complicated than that. Not only would myriad probation violations likely land her in hot water even if she were found not guilty, the prosecution will dredge up Lindsay’s klepto nature . If she doesn’t take the deal, which would require her to spend three months in jail (whittled down to much less with good behavior) her past will be an issue. That’s because with probation, a judge alone makes the call. She could be remanded into custody as she awaits trial, ensuring she’s locked up either way. In any case, she has until March 25 to take the plea deal on the table. If she passes, which she has to this point , a preliminary hearing will take place in April. Tell us: Should Lindsay Lohan accept the plea bargain?

Brad Womack to the Rescue in Local Panic Attack

Brad Womack is used to giving people panic attacks. It was only fitting that he helped somebody through one with a 911 call this morning in Texas. After witnessing a man having severe anxiety ( seriously ) in a park near his home, Brad dialed emergency responders, who arrived to treat the guy. After Brad made the call, EMTs arrived on scene to treat the man. Womack and his twin brother Chad tended to the man until paramedics arrived. A smile like that could diffuse any situation … The panicked fella man transported to a nearby hospital in Austin, where he is being treated for a non-life threatening medical condition. Phew! A rep from Austin-Travis County EMS originally reported that the ambulance was sent FOR Brad Womack , but it turns out that was not the case. Would have made this story a lot funnier, but not the case. Brad selected Emily Maynard as his bride-to-be last Monday on The Bachelor season finale. They are still together for now … but will they last?

Sandra Bullock-Jesse James Divorce: A Done Deal

Sandra Bullock didn’t waste any time. Not even four months after Jesse James’ affairs with Michelle “Bombshell” McGee and other assorted hoes became exposed, the actress’ divorce from him is final. Both Sandra Bullock and her now-ex have signed the final documents, filed and sealed with the clerk’s office in Travis County, Texas, within the last week. Sources confirm the papers make the divorce final, although the contents, including all financial details of their split, will forever remain confidential. Insiders do say the divorce clears the way for Sandra to complete a single parent adoption , however. Initially, both of them planned to adopt baby Louis. DONE: Sandra Bullock and Jesse James would have celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary July 16. Alas, dude screwed up big time – literally and otherwise . Bullock filed for divorce back on April 23, saying her marriage to James “has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities.” That’s code for “my husband is a cheating jackass.” So what happens to their relationship going forward? It now appears reports of James moving to Texas to win Bullock back were only partially true. He wants his children to continue to have a relationship with her, and getting away from his other ex-wife, Janine Lindemulder, is an added bonus. Janine is on parole and can’t leave California. Sucks to be her!
