A 34 -yr old Edgewater, FL woman was arrested on Tuesday for allegations that she was involved in a fight with her daughter and another girl at their middle school. Candice Carla Milam was arrested by Volusia County deputy sheriffs and charged with child abuse and battery. Two girls, 11 and 12, one of them Milam’s daughter, got into a fight last month outside of the school. The fight was recorded by students, and later posted to Facebook. Police recovered the video, and the investigation uncovered that Milan had been involved in the fight and had encouraged the fight through her actions. Milam is being held on $1000 bond. This incident is by no means isolated.

An Orlando FL mother is facing charges after a video on Facebook showed her encouraging her daughter to fight a high school classmate. Sandra Padilla Miranda, 38, was charged with child abuse and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Police say video showed her yelling in Spanish to her 17-yr old daughter to “hit harder” and “bite her” during the altercation with a 14-yr old girl. The classmate told police that Miranda invited her to fight her daughter, who then struck her and attempted to bite her on the face. According to the Orlando Police Department, Miranda said she “was in fear that her daughter and the other girl will continue to fight in school, so she wanted it settled.” According to police, Miranda has admitted that she was wrong for encouraging the fighting. Miranda posted $1,100 bond at Orange County jail. If convicted, she could face jail time, fines, probation or a combination of the three.

San Antonio Woman Finds A Baggie Of Cocaine In Her Granola Bar

NaturesValley

Down in Texas, somebody’s street pharmacist is missing some “work”. 

Meanwhile… back home at the ranch, an upstanding unassuming woman was minding her own business, enjoying a tasty granola bar and….out pops a bag of dope.

 What’s even more peculiar here is that she actually called the company that makes the bars thinking she won some sort of a prize!

Being as though she didn’t automatically know that the white powdery substance (inside the money-sign bag) was coco, I’m guessing she is, and always has been, completely 100% drug free. Just an observation.

Join the discussion.

Cynthia Rodriguez of San Antonio says she was eating the bar when a small, green bag emblazoned with dollar signs fell out. Rodriguez contacted manufacturer General Mills Inc., thinking she had won a prize. Company officials told her to call the police.

Rodriguez contacted police March 18 and investigators determined the bag contained cocaine.

Sgt. Javier Salazar says authorities are trying to determine how the package got inside the granola bar wrapper.

A General Mills spokesman said Thursday that the Minneapolis-based company is confident the cocaine wasn’t packaged with the bar at a company facility.

60 Year Old Massachusetts Mother Charged With Operating A Crack-Cocaine Delivery Service From Her Pickup Truck

60-year-old Donna McLeod was arrested for allegedly running a crack cocaine delivery service from the cab of her pickup truck.

With her adult children watching from the gallery, Donna M. McLeod, of Springfield, pleaded innocent to cocaine trafficking between 18 and 36 grams during her arraignment in Springfield District Court.
She also denied a charge of possessing ammunition without a firearms identification card.

McLeod, was arrested Monday morning when Springfield police raided her apartment and seized 46 grams, or about 1.6 ounces, of crack cocaine packaged for sale, Assistant District Attorney Jill O’Connor said.

They also found $407 in cash, several cell phones and two bullets inside a knapsack, O’Connor said.

The defendant was seen making deliveries across Springfield in a green Ford pickup truck, the prosecutor.

To set up deliveries, customers “would contact her by cell phone,” O’Connor said.

The cell phones continued ringing as detectives searched the apartment, according to the prosecutor, who said extensive surveillance and several controlled buys were conducted before the raid.

O’Connor asked for $25,000 bail, citing several drug convictions on McLeod’s record, including a 2005 trafficking charge that resulted in a three-year prison sentence.

Defense lawyer Erin Boylan asked for $2,000 bail, explaining that the defendant poses no flight risk and has shown up for court hearings in the past.

A mother of four children, McLeod is also a caretaker for her sister, who was disabled by a stroke and suffers from cancer, among other maladies, Boylan said.

The defendant’s last crack cocaine conviction was ten years ago, Boylan said.

As for the two bullets found in the backpack, they were keepsakes from a military funeral, the lawyer said.

Judge William Rota set bail at $10,000.
