Police: U. Alabama Football Player A Cocaine Dealer

Alabama Crimson Tide senior linebacker Jimmy Johns was dismissed from the football team and suspended from the University on Tuesday after being arrested on felony drug charges.

Johns was charged with five counts of distribution of cocaine and one count of possession of a controlled substance.

“Jimmy Johns has been dismissed from the team,” head coach Nick Saban said in a statement. “This type of behavior obviously will not be tolerated, and he is no longer a part of our program.”

Police began getting tips that Johns was involved in drug sales around the time the football team was conducting its spring practice, Capt. Jeff Snyder of the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force said. [The Crimson White]

Vivica Fox Sex Tape: She Gets Down

January 3, 2008 - 9:25 am , By John, USMA at West Point

vivica foxWay to start 2008 off with a bang, Vivica!

It’s being reported confirmed that the still-very-hot Vivica Fox has a sex tape floating around the web - I’ll keep my eye out for it, I know - and she isn’t too happy about it.

The story goes a bit like this: Fox was drunk and getting frisky with some random dude in Atlanta. She proceeded to give the fellow a blo…well, she stimulated him orally. Acting like any anybody lucky enough to be orally serviced by Fox, the guy taped everything going down - on his cell phone.

After the deed was done he emailed the video to his friends, who emailed it to Fox, who contacted the Atlanta police department, and so on.

Fox wants the scandal to be handled privately. That request must’ve not fared well, considering that we’re talking about it (and awaiting a link to the tape).

All Fox rhymes with ***** jokes may start now.

Killer of Emily Sander aka “Zoey Zane” Captured!

December 19, 2007 - 5:55 pm , By Josh - UMASS, Lowell

Zoey ZaneAfter spending all day hearing about babies making babies and other fluff, it’s good to hear about something relevant and positive.

Israel Mireles, the man last seen with Emily Sander, has been caught by police, awaiting homicide charges for Sander’s death.

Most of the media (including us, admittingly) focused too much attention on Sander’s personal life at the time of her abduction.

Yes, “Zoey Zane” was the moniker used by Sander when posing for adult websites - so what? She was also a young woman, murdered for unknown reasons. You tell me which one matters more.

At the very least, her family can find some level of justice with Mireles behind bars.

Victoria Martens, girlfriend of Mireles, has also been found. No word has come forth about her involvement (or lack thereof) in Sander’s death.

Eternal props go out to the officers who tracked down Mireles, and to zoeyzane.com for handling this touchy situation in a classy manner.

Alycia Lane Brings the Pain!

December 17, 2007 - 11:00 am , By John, USMA at West Point

Alycia Lane

The New York Post reported that Philly’s fiesty, Emmy Award-winning anchorwoman Alycia Lane was arrested after calling a female cop a “dyke b*tch” then punching her in the face. Sexy anchorwoman meltdowns are so hot right now.

Lane, 35, was riding around with her boy-toy Chris Booker (also a media personality in Philly; he’s a DJ at Q102) when a slow-moving car in front of them (full of cops, natch) got on the couple’s nerves. Once the officers pulled over their cab and confronted the two rabblerousers Lane decided it would be a great idea to start snapping pictures of the incident as it unfolded.

Attitudes where shown, spots were blown, punches were thrown - pretty gangsta to say the least. Lane’s exact quote is as follows: “I don’t care that you’re a cop - dyke b*tch!”

All of this from an Emmy Award-winning anchorwoman. Read More »

A Pothead’s Guide to Avoiding Johnny Law

August 15, 2007 - 7:00 pm , By Amy - Florida State

cop car

Cops, man. Always ruining our crazy, college fun - pulling us over on road trips, breaking up the parties, arresting our friends. Why, because we break the law and do illegal things? Pshhaa, whatever.Like NWA said, eff the police, right?!?

Right! There are in fact, many ways around the law, especially when it comes to doing the things we all know we do and we all know we enjoy doing - like smoking “doobies� (as I like to call them,) or eating pot brownies, or driving with naughty things in the car, or letting your friends pull you across the highway while you’re attached to a couch…..okay, that one’s just stupid and if you do this, you should definitely be arrested. Radar Online has an awesomely insightful look into the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do in order to escape and avoid the law altogether - written by Barry Cooper, an EX COP AND HEAD AGENT OF NARCOTICS for eight years in Texas!!!! What a kick ass guy!!!!

Cooper wrote the article because, he said, “The war on drugs is an utterly losing proposition. We caused more harm breaking up families to put non-violent drug offenders in jail than the drugs ever did. And for what? To eradicate 1/10th of a percent of drugs on the street.â€? Read More »
