FIRST OF ALL, HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S MINE? A man, arrested for drug dealing in Connecticut, inadvertently gave evidence against himself when he became ill and vomited eight bags of heroin while he was inside the police car.     
He is appealing his conviction on the grounds that the heroin shouldn't have been admitted into evidence.

PLEASE NOTICE ME: A 32-year-old female Ohio police officer sent herself threatening letters and bizarre threats for four months to make it seem as if people were harassing her, because she wanted to attract the attention of a fellow officer and win his affection. It didn't work.

THE FAMILY HAS ISSUES: When one of her students spit in her face, a teacher of troubled youth had him suspended. The lad returned with his mother and older brother, and the three of them beat her unconscious with a chair. The family has been arrested.

WHY CAN'T THEY UNDERSTAND OUR LOVE? A couple got into a little outdoor hanky-panky in a public park in Prestonsburg, Ky. They were arrested after someone spotted them in flagrente: The woman was naked and being spanked by her boyfriend on a picnic table. They were charged with disorderly conduct. The woman says the incident has been blown out of proportion.

The resulting film showed the man and the teen in a compromising position on the living room couch. He was charged with taking indecent liberties with a minor.
