Georgia Lotto Winner Facing Life In Prison For Investing $3 Million Into Crystal Meth Ring

In today’s “you big dummy” news:

Via NY Post:

Ronnie Music Jr., a 45-year-old Georgia man, is facing a maximum of life in prison after he invested part of his $3 million lottery winnings into a crystal methamphetamine drug ring.

Music, who won the lump sum in a local scratch-off lottery game in Feb. 2015, pleaded guilty in US District Court to the federal drug trafficking and gun charges last week.
Investigators revealed that after he hit it big, Music conspired with others to buy and sell kilograms of crystal meth in Ware County, Ga. and elsewhere.

It was determined that Music was a source of supply for the meth that he purchased for resale with his own lottery winnings, officials said.

His co-conspirators were caught trying to sell about 11 pounds of the drug, which has an estimated street value that exceeds $500,000.

Wow!!! Really?! 3 million dollars gone down the drain…..

I’m pretty sure Uncle Sam ceased any money or assets connected to that $3 million he won via lotto. What do YOU think? Join the discussion.

Mom Arrested After Toddler Found Home Alone Sucking On Frozen Chicken

Wow! Talk about unfit parenting. It’s really a shame what some people do to their kids. If you’re not interested in being a parent- DONT BE ONE! Poor child!

According to Fox5 San Diego:

  

A Des Moines mother was arrested Monday after police say her 2-year-old son was found alone, sucking on a frozen chicken breast. 

Hallie Amick, 30, now faces charges of child endangerment for the incident, according to WHO-TV. 

Police went to a home in the 100 block of East Emma Ave. around 10:15 a.m. Monday after someone called 911 reporting a toddler left home alone.

When officers arrived, they found a 2-year-old boy in the backyard, wearing nothing but a full and sagging diaper. Police say the child was sucking on a frozen chicken breast.

A small dog in the backyard was observed trying to jump up on the child to get the chicken.

Officers spoke with a neighbor who told them the child was often left unattended. She said she would see the man and woman leave the home, but not with the child.

Another neighbor told police she had found the child in the middle of the street at one point shortly after the family moved in, and said that they did not watch the child very well.

Police say when Amick arrived on the scene, she lied and told them this was the first time she had left the child alone, but after police confronted her with the neighbors’ claims she admitted she left the boy alone on “occasions.”

When police searched the home they found marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Amick was charged with possession of schedule 1 drugs.

She was taken into custody and booked into the Polk County Jail. Tuesday, she posted bond and was released.
