  • Nurse Caught On Video Swapping Out Opioids Vials with Saline Solution and Self-Administering Fentanyl During Work, Claims She’s ‘Hearing Voices’

    Nurse Caught On Video Swapping Out Opioids Vials with Saline Solution and Self-Administering Fentanyl During Work, Claims She’s ‘Hearing Voices’

    A nurse in Houston, Texas, has been fired from her job following allegations that she stole opioids from an automated dispenser at the hospital, reports Law & Crime. The nurse, Alexis Joann McNeilly, allegedly replaced the drug vials with saline solution and even injected herself with fentanyl while on duty. 

    Between March and May 2023, McNielly was accused of diverting hydromorphone and fentanyl from a hospital vending machine for personal use. The incidents were discovered during a routine inventory check by a fellow nurse. The nurse also allegedly tampered with syringes and vials, replacing opioids with saline.

    Houston law enforcement received a notification from an FDA agent on May 25 regarding the case. Five days later, the hospital’s pharmacy manager confirmed after an inventory audit that McNeilly

    “dispensed medication that was not prescribed by the attending physician”

    and put

    “adulterated medicine […] in circulation”

    that had the

    “potential to be administered by other medical professionals to patients, unaware that the medicine had been tampered with.”

    In April, surveillance video caught McNeilly injecting herself

    “in the hand with the fentanyl syringe before returning to work,”

    authorities further alleged.

    “I hear voices telling me what to do,”

    the defendant allegedly explained, after being confronted by the hospital’s nursing director.

    “When the defendant was confronted about this incident, the defendant admitted to taking meds… She explained that she is under extreme personal stress and that she took the meds to help deal with her anxiety,”

    documents said.

    “The hospital had the defendant take a drug test. The drug test came back positive for Morphine, Hydromorphone, and Marijuana.” 

    McNeilly was fired from the hospital and arrested at her home the day after Christmas. She was later released on bond under the conditions that she be electronically monitored, wear a drug patch, and have a curfew that begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 7 a.m. the next day.

  • McDonald’s Shuts Down Following Customer’s Report Of A Crack Pipe Discovered In Their Breakfast Order

    McDonald’s Shuts Down Following Customer’s Report Of A Crack Pipe Discovered In Their Breakfast Order

    A McDonald’s restaurant in Ohio was shut down by health inspectors after a customer reported finding a crack pipe in their drive-thru breakfast order, the NY Post reported. 

    The incident was first brought to light by an anonymous customer who shared the disturbing discovery on Reddit. The customer promptly returned to the store to inform a manager, expressing concern that the item could have

    “ended up in [a child’s] Happy Meal.”

    Rather than accepting a refund, the customer decided to report the incident to Franklin County Public Health. 

    Following an inspection, health inspectors discovered several health code violations during ongoing construction at the location, leading to its closure on Wednesday. Construction workers came in and out of the restaurant, leaving

    “construction dust on surfaces of food preparation counters, equipment, and flooring,”

    the inspectors’ report noted, according to the Columbus Dispatch.

    “Beverage service equipment such as soda dispenser, frappuccino machine, frozen beverage dispenser, coffee machine had dust, debris, screws, unassembled computer equipment, wooden trim pieces on the top surfaces,”

    the report states.

    “There was no protective barrier between the construction area and the food service area,”

    the report claims — with cellphones left on the grill.

    As a result, the restaurant was closed and given until January 4th to address these violations. The franchise owner, Alex Mendoza, stated that the closure was due to the construction-related dust issue and not related to the inspection prompted by the crack pipe report. 

    “As a local business owner, the safety of my customers and crew is my first priority, and we take this very seriously,”

    Mendoza told the Dispatch.

    “We have no indication that the [crack pipe] came from our restaurant but are continuing to investigate and have contacted local law enforcement to report the matter.”

  • Florida Woman Who’s Lifeless Body was Discovered In Alligator’s Mouth Was Previously Arrested For Trespassing Two Months Earlier

    Florida Woman Who’s Lifeless Body was Discovered In Alligator’s Mouth Was Previously Arrested For Trespassing Two Months Earlier

    A woman’s lifeless body was discovered in the grasp of a 14-foot alligator. The victim has been identified as 41-year-old Sabrina Peckham, a homeless woman who had a history of run-ins with the law, reports the NY Post. Just two months prior to her untimely death, Peckham was arrested for trespassing on county wetland property.

    According to court records, Pinellas County deputies caught Peckham trespassing on July 14, just half a mile from where her body was found. Despite warning signs, she ignored the restrictions and was ultimately charged with a misdemeanor. After pleading no contest, she was released from the county on September 8 and ordered to pay a $500 fine.

    Peckham also had convictions for drug possession and theft, reports note. Medical examiners are currently working to determine whether the alligator attack was the cause of her death.

    The incident was first reported by a witness on his way to a job interview, who spotted the massive alligator carrying Peckham’s body in a canal along a residential street. He immediately alerted the nearby fire department, who swiftly took action. Authorities made the decision to euthanize the alligator, which measured 13 feet and 8.5 inches in length. Some neighbors claimed that the reptile was shot multiple times after being pulled from the water.

    The area where the incident occurred is close to Ridgecrest Park, which is known to be home to alligators. Residents have reported regular sightings of these creatures, but the alligator responsible for Peckham’s death was one of the largest they had ever encountered.

    Former Chicago Rap Mogul Evades Life Sentence By Cooperating Against Mexican Drug Cartel, Reports Say

    Rudy Acosta III, also known as

    “King Rudy”

    in the Hip Hop community, has avoided a permanent prison sentence by assisting authorities in a drug-related case that he was once involved in, according to Hip Hop DX. 

    Despite his involvement in distributing narcotics in Chicago since the 1990s, Acosta was released on Tuesday (September 19) for time served. Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Erskine praised Acosta as

    “one of the most prolific and successful cooperators with our office, probably in the last decade or so.” 

    The Legion Records founder and CEO’s cooperation in the investigation has led to charges against 36 individuals involved in drug crimes and public corruption. One notable figure among them is the late Senator Martin Sandoval, who pleaded guilty to corruption charges before passing away in December 2020.

    Earlier this year, Acosta III confessed to distributing cocaine as part of a plea agreement. While his activities mainly centered around Chicago, he claimed to have connections with suppliers in Mexico. Upon his arrest and subsequent custody, he spent approximately seven years assisting prosecutors in gathering evidence against individuals within his network.

  • Woman Arrested For Concealing Drugs In Private Parts, Fake Heart Attack To Evade Police Suspicion

    Woman Arrested For Concealing Drugs In Private Parts, Fake Heart Attack To Evade Police Suspicion

    A woman from Indiana has been taken into custody after allegedly faking a heart attack and attempting to hide a sizable bag of illegal drugs in her private parts, reports FOX News.

    The Wayne County Sheriff’s Department reported that Amanda Smith, 41, was pulled over by Deputy Ryan Riggs, Deputy Aaron Crawford, and Deputy Matt Wright on September 4. Suspecting drug activity, the officers conducted a search of Smith’s vehicle, which was confirmed by K9 Copper indicating the presence of narcotics. Court documents obtained by FOX 59 Indianapolis revealed that Smith immediately pretended to have a heart attack and prohibited medical professionals from assessing her condition.

    Despite being taken to a local hospital, Smith adamantly refused medical treatment and refused to remove her clothing. When she insisted on using the restroom alone, law enforcement officials suspected that she was attempting to conceal drugs and dispose of the evidence. 

    Nurses reportedly noticed a plastic sandwich bag concealed in her private area. A body scan performed at Wayne County Jail confirmed an abnormality in her pelvic region, but Smith continued to deny any wrongdoing.

    Eventually, Smith confessed to hiding drugs in her private parts and handed over an

    “avocado-size plastic sandwich bag”

    containing methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and fentanyl, reports note. 

    Further investigation uncovered more illegal substances in her vehicle, including Gabapentin, Naloxone, and buprenorphine. Additionally, a notebook discovered in the car contained details such as names, weights, dollar amounts, and various drug types. Smith has been arrested and is facing multiple felony charges for drug dealing.

  • Sergeant Suspended Without Pay After Fatally Tossing Cooler at Motorcyclist In NYC

    Sergeant Suspended Without Pay After Fatally Tossing Cooler at Motorcyclist In NYC

    A tragic incident occurred in the University Heights area of the Bronx when a motorcyclist, involved in a drug bust, crashed and lost his life, ABC News reported. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) reported that the fatal outcome resulted from Sergeant Erik Duran throwing a plastic cooler at the fleeing suspect in an attempt to stop him. As a result, Duran has been suspended without pay while an investigation takes place.

    Surveillance footage, examined by the Associated Press, shows the motorcyclist, Eric Duprey, riding on a sidewalk towards a group of individuals. Just before the crash, one person, now reportedly known to be Sergeant Duran, picks up a red cooler and hurls it at the motorcyclist from close range. The impact causes the rider to lose control, leading to a collision with a tree and a metal barricade.

    The New York State Attorney General Letitia James’ office, responsible for investigating police-involved deaths, is conducting an inquiry with the full cooperation of the NYPD.

    “The NYPD is committed to ensuring that there will be a full, thorough, and transparent investigation of this incident to determine the facts and to take the appropriate steps forward,”

    the department said in a statement.

    According to a preliminary report, Duprey lost control and struck a parked vehicle after being hit by Duran’s thrown cooler. The incident was first reported by The Daily News.

    The 30-year-old man was attempting to evade undercover narcotics officers during a

    “buy-and-bust”

    operation, a common police tactic. Duran, who joined the NYPD in 2010 and has received numerous commendations, has previous disciplinary issues, including a substantiated abuse of authority complaint from last year.

  • Mother Discovered Three Minor Children Unconscious After Babysitter Reportedly Taught Them How To Snort Pills

    Mother Discovered Three Minor Children Unconscious After Babysitter Reportedly Taught Them How To Snort Pills

    Sadly, three children were discovered unresponsive at a babysitter’s home after she reportedly taught them how to snort drugs, officials in Indiana said. On June 28, the children’s mother arrived to retrieve them from the woman’s home and discovered the babysitter sitting on her front porch while appearing to be

    “impaired,”

    according to The Kansas Star.

    When the unidentified mother went into the woman’s home, she called for her children; however, there was no response. She instantly ran to her children and discovered her three children unresponsive. Reports added that their ages were 8, 9, and 15. 

    Officers later arrived at the scene after the mother contacted officials. First responders began to help the children and luckily, the two younger children were revived at the home; despite them

    “stumbling and falling down.”

    The 15-year-old was taken to the hospital and later gained consciousness. Reports added that the teen was located near a powdery substance and shattered pill capsules. 

    The minors informed officials that the unnamed babysitter gave them pills and showed them how to snort the pills, investigators say. Officials said,

    “The children also told detectives that they each ingested about 3-4 pills each of the three different types of pills.” 

    Police searched the babysitter’s home after obtaining a search warrant where they discovered

    “prescription bottles for Klonopin, Adderall, and Lyrica, along with loose pills,”

    reports the news outlet. The babysitter stumbled on her words as she informed officials that she didn’t know what happened; however, she confessed that the minors might have gotten ahold of her drugs.

    The babysitter was charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury among other charges, officials say, reports the Kansas Star.

  • Teen Girl Abused For Months After Being Kidnapped and Exchanged For Drugs, Abuser Sentenced To 25 Years

    Teen Girl Abused For Months After Being Kidnapped and Exchanged For Drugs, Abuser Sentenced To 25 Years

    A man from Georgia sexually assaulted a teen girl for several months after she was sold to him by another man as a trade-off for drugs, prosecutors say, reports FOX. 

    46-year-old Dale Drzewucki pleaded guilty earlier in the month to a slew of charges including

    “trafficking of persons for sexual servitude, rape, statutory rape, enticing a child for indecent purposes, child molestation, and contributing to the delinquency of a minor,”

    the news outlet reports. 

    Dalia Racine, Douglas County District Attorney, said on Wednesday,

    “No community is immune from the tragedy that is human trafficking. What this victim had to endure at the hands of this defendant is unimaginable….. We hope that this conviction will help her and her family in the healing process from these horrible acts. We applaud all that were a part of bringing him to justice.”

    The 13-year-old girl was walking close to Six Flags Park after running away from her Cobb County home when an unidentified man offered her a ride and then drove her to his home in Douglas County. He later got in contact with Drzewucki and offered him sexual acts with the teen to trade for drugs. Drzewucki later picked up the victim and took her to his home as he held her for close to three months. He sexually abused her and drugged her, according to prosecutors. 

    Back in January 2021, the unnamed teen was able to escape the man’s home and get in contact with her mother. Thankfully, she later reunited with her family. 

    Drzewucki was recently sentenced to 25 years behind bars.
