Source: Charles Norfleet/Getty Images) / Getty ‘The Wire’ Actor Anwan Glover Arrested For Gun Possession One of the fan favorites ‘ The Wire ‘ has always been the understated “Slim Charles”, sadly, Anwan Glover’s real life is mirroring his fiction one a bit too much. According to TMZ , Glover was arrested in Washington, D.C. on firearms charges back on June 26. Police pulled the actor/singer over and discovered a pistol upon searching his vehicle and hit him with a misdemeanor. Let the cops tell it, they were told be on the lookout for a white jeep driven by a man who was allegedly waving a gun out of the window. Glover’s car just happened to match that description after he was said to have changed lanes without a signal. Although Anwan told the pigs that he didn’t have a gun and denying their request to search the car, they did it anyway. The Anwan’s lawyer says his jeep doesn’t even match the description of the car the bacon boys were told to look for. Sounds like BS to us.
Source: Patricia Schlein/WENN.com / WENN Rapper Turned Reality Star Says She Did Not Attack Witness To Alleged Assault Involving Remy Ma “Love & Hip Hop: New York” starlet Brittney Taylor has been offered a no-jail plea deal following her arrest last month for allegedly assaulting a witness in her separate assault case against Remy Ma. Taylor was in Manhattan Criminal Court Monday for a hearing on the assault rap, where cops charged her after she allegedly scratched her alleged victim Dina Khalil and threw a cell phone at her face during an early morning argument. Prosecutors offered to drop the assault charge in exchange for Taylor pleading guilty to harassment in the second degree, a violation, along with a conditional discharge and order of protection between her and Khalil. But the Manhattan DA’s office said that Taylor rejected the plea deal and the case is now scheduled to go to trial next month. Following the hearing, Taylor’s lawyer Sanford Rubenstein told us that they are now mulling the deal, but also would be pushing to have the case thrown out. He added that Taylor’s assault case doesn’t negate that Remy Ma allegedly pummelled her. “Nothing in this case changes any of the facts with regard to the allegations of assault by Brittney Taylor against Remy Ma,” Rubenstein said. Taylor accused Remy Ma of slugging her earlier this summer at a concert at Irving Plaza in NYC, and cops later charged her with assault. Remy Ma is due back in court this week.
Source: Martin Ruegner / Getty Man Gets Jail Time For Clogging Toilets Around Wisconsin People are really going out of their way to find new ways to be arrested these days, and apparently, you can go to jail for clogging a bunch of toilets. 35-year-old Wisconsin man Patrick Beeman has been sentenced to a few months in jail because of his habit of clogging toilets around the state. During the time period of April 2017 to March 2018, Beeman regularly clogged toilets wherever he went using plastic water bottles. The Sheboygan man explained that he has a natural instinct to clog every toilet he encounters, telling police about his problem and hoping they would let him off easy. But after it was revealed that he had clogged over thirty toilets, the authorities felt they needed to take action and in turn, they’re locking him up for 150 days. Back when the Sheboygan Police Department was still trying to locate Beeman to take action, they issued a statement about his strange habit. “Why do this? I do not know but if you help us find the person I will tell you. This is very strange…and gross, but that is the reality of life,” said the Police Department. Once he heard that police were investigating the matter, Beeman stopped intentionally clogging toilets–but that wasn’t enough to keep him safe. He was charged with thirteen counts of criminal damage to property and because of that, the judge went extra hard on him. The recommended sentence was thirty days in jail but Judge Kent Hoffmann decided to hand down thirty days for each count. In addition to the 150 days, Beeman will have to pay $5,500 in restitution and cannot be found in possession of alcohol for three years. He also has to perform 100 hours of community service.
