This news is everywhere but I’m posting it anyway because it is turning out to be an interesting subject – especially when looking at the reactions from across the globe. As most know by now, Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland on the way to a Zurich film festival. The arrest comes from charges that he raped a 13-year-old girl in the home of Jack Nicholson back in 1977. He was charged with giving Quaaludes to a minor; child molestation; unlawful sexual intercourse with that minor; rape by use of drugs; oral copulation; sodomy. All charges were dismissed under a plea deal but he pleaded guilty to unlawful sex with a minor. There are more than enough info out there about his sentencing and all, but to keep things brief, Polanski didn’t like where things were going (meaning he would have to go to prison) and he fled the country and has never stepped foot in the United States since. …

Apple Valley, California Growing up, birthday parties were a big thing, both having them and going to them. The endless silly games that are played from ‘pin the tail on the ass’ to ‘telephone’. (You know, everyone sits in a circle, an adult whispers something to the first child and they’re to repeat it to the next. By the end of the circle the message is never the same. Kind of like a bunch of adults I know repeating gossip) But as children grow older the parties kind of wane. I mean, what kind of games do you play with a bunch of 14-year-olds? After the sweet-sixteen party, the 17th birthday is a pretty big let down. Nothing really exciting to do for that one. That is unless you’re the daughter of Glenn Nottle. He gave his daughter the memories of a lifetime for her birthday. A little gunfire, some throwing stars, a little pipe bomb…. …

Newark, NJ – Many of the crack-heads, tweakers, and other druggies we have featured here on the Dreamin’ Demon have one thing in common – they hide their stash is some rather interesting places. Shaheed Wright, though, is slightly different. Knowing that if you stick coke up your crack, eventually, you gotta dig that shit out, right? So, when Shaheed felt the heat was coming down on him, he stuck several baggies into his 4-year-old son’s jacket pocket, telling the child it was candy. However, like many of the crack-heads, tweakers, and other druggies we have featured here, Shaheed is kinda stupid. How one just forgets about several baggies of coke is beyond me, but Shaheed did. Unfortunately, his son remembered they were in there. …

Kensington, Pennsylvania – Forgetting where you parked you car in the middle of the night – embarrassing. Leaving your young step-child alone in the car in the middle of the night so you can score drugs- parental fail. Leaving your young step-child in the car in the middle of the night and forgetting where you parked because you are so high you can barely recall your own name let alone where the hell you parked your damn car – ultra tard fail. Having to admit to police officers that you can’t find your child or your car because you are fucked up – jail time. Just ask 31-year-old Dino Vicente. After all, this is his story of fail. …

UPPER DARBY, Pa. – Back in August, 20-year-old Rachael Jenkins told police she was trying to retrieve her dropped iPod when her Hyundai crossed two lanes of traffic, went on to a sidewalk and struck Nicole Gallo, 19, and Christine Bochanski, 20. Gallo was killed immediately and Bochanski suffered serious injuries, including a broken back, and was hospitalized for two weeks. But toxicology reports later came back showing that Jankins had some THC and difluoroethane in her blood. What the fuck is difluoroethane, you may ask? It’s the chemical found computer-cleaning spray. Exactly like the can of Dust-Off that was found in Jankins’ car on the day of the accident.…

St. Bernard, Ohio – Brooke Watts has been in a hell of a mess. Unfortunately, Brooke’s kids were living in it with her. Watts, 27, was arrested on Tuesday night after police officers found her and her three children, ages1, 4, and 7, living in filth. Bonus, there were meth ingredients lying around. Double plus bonus, the kids all had head lice and bugs were everywhere – even in the food in the refrigerator. Well, that’ll put me right back on my diet. Fortunately for the kids, a social worker did her job and alerted the cops after she showed up to visit the family and found that despite repeated warnings, the place was an unlivable nightmare of ewww. I know, right? A repeat visit, and the place still had masses of messes all up in it? But of course, my darling denizens. Because cleaning the house before Child Protective Services drops by just feels wrong, somehow, y’know? …

MADEIRA BEACH, Florida – This is a story I am only posting because of one line in the article by Brant James that simply stated, “Then he started throwing sea creatures”. For some reason, this line cracked me up and has made my day. 41-year-old Keith Edward Marriott is facing charges of disorderly intoxication and carrying a concealed weapon because of his bizarre behavior at the beach. Pinellas County sheriff’s deputies said Marriott repeatedly pretended to be drowning and then float to the surface, “causing concern for his safety,” and was “loud and disruptive,” according to a sheriff’s report. Then he started throwing sea creatures. Or more specifically, he started throwing jellyfish at some teenagers. Marriott was being held at Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $250 bail. I love obnoxious drunks.…

Oakhurst, CA – When I came across this little story, three words came to mind: What. The. Hell? Here we have 37-year-old Krista Arceneaux – yes, a real looker, ain’t she?! A bit rough for 37, but with the right makeup, the right lighting, and a couple cases of Corona, she’d rank about a 5.5 or so. Krista was sitting outside of a bar last Wednesday evening when she spied a 6-year-old boy walking across a parking lot with his family. Whether it was because she was inebriated to the point of complete retardation or because she harbors some secret desire for little boys, Krista bolted from her chair, ran to the little kiddo, told him he was sexy, and laid on one him – tongue and all. Needless to say, the kiddos parents weren’t exactly thrilled with Krista’s nasty little show of affection and confronted her, sending her scurrying back to the bar. And that’s about the time Krista came a little unhinged. …

Panama City, Florida Life is full of twists and turns. I’d like to believe the ups and downs somewhat even themselves out – that no one has more of one than the other. But those hopes are only realistic when viewed through rose colored glasses. But even when things are going well in your life, there’s bound to be a bad day thrown in here and there, just to keep you from getting a little too cocky…just to keep things real. Those are the days when it’s best not to even get out of bed because everything you touch turns to crap. Imagine a great dose of Murphy’s Law when your life is already in the shitter. “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” Poor Jennifer Alvarado, life in shambles, got a good old fashioned bad day when she got beat up by her boyfriend and ended up in the slammer herself.…

Wantagh, NY – Sister Lauren Hanley, the spiritual development director at St. Frances de Chantal Church, is just brimming with spirit – of the holy kind and of the distilled kind. The naughty nun is facing charges after she allegedly tied one on at church Tuesday evening, polishing off a half-pint of gin, before careening around town in a church owned Toyota. Witnesses report they saw Hanley side-swiping vehicles, zig-zaggin’ around on people’s lawns, and putting the fear of Jaysus into a couple of young neighborhood hellions. The little rascals were playing outside of a home when the flying nun flew past them in her speedy little race car. “She skidded out on the grass, then she came back down at like 55, 60 miles per hour down the street,” said 11-year-old Alex Stein after a near-death experience with the booze-hound. “It was very frightening at first, then you realize you can’t trust anybody.” The fun and games were over when Hanley slammed the car into a tree. Sister Hanley, who blew a 0.18, admitted to officers that she had started tipping the bottle at about 3:00 that afternoon.…

Las Vegas, NV - Crack cocaine brings people together. Unfortunately, those people are crack heads, and not always the best company. However, if you’re already together with a heap of crack heads, there’s a good chance that you’re also a crack head. As dangerous as they are entertaining, there really is no safe place from which to watch a crack head’s strange antics. I’ve seen them scale walls, chew their way through Plexiglas and break down doors with bad prosthetic limbs. They’re kind of like zombies, if zombies asked you for change and then smeared you with their feces before you could take your hands out of your pockets. Jackie Wilridge is one of these crack heads, but instead of the standard shit-smearing and trying to sell invisible food items, Jackie attacked and robbed a fellow crack head in a Las Vegas apartment, before boiling a pot of water and scalding her to death. …

St. Charles, Missouri - Evan Hassan Wormley, aka EV THA TV, had a bad morning yesterday. So did his two-year-old son, Ev Junior. So did Random Casino Bystander Guy, who was just trying to scratch a gambling itch at a St. Louis-area casino. At 4:30 a.m. Tuesday, aspiring hip-hop artist Wormley, 21, showed up at the Ameristar casino in St. Charles. That’s not weird, right? People gamble at all hours. But Ev was (a) drunk, and (b) had his kid with him, and the baby was wearing nothing but a dirty diaper. That probably should have been Sign #1 that things weren’t going to go well for either Evan. …

TULSA, OK - On Nov 12th, 2007 a woman had a motorcycle accident outside of Backyard Bar. Four people who witnessed the crash ran out to assist her. It is at that point that a drunken Kimberly Graham plowed into the group in her Dodge Ram Pickup, killing ever single one of them. She then did the noble thing and fled the scene leaving them strewn down Memorial Drive to die. She was later arrested after turning herself in and charged with five counts of first-degree manslaughter. On March 12th of this year, jurors convicted Kimberly Graham on all five counts plus one count of leaving the scene of an accident. Yesterday, Judge Thornbrugh sentenced her to 107 years in prison. 20 years for each victim and 7 years for leaving the scene. …

Green Township, Cincinnati – Here is an idiot for you. At around 9 p.m., 21-year-old Lauren rear-ended David Tewes in a Walgreen’s parking lot. After both got out of their respective vehicles, it was quite apparent that Lauren was shit-faced – her blood alcohol content later determined to be .205. Not wanting to get into any more trouble than she was already in, Lauren did the smart thing and left the scene of the accident. But that was only one of her problems added to her drunken stupidity. The other was the fact that her dumbass got into the vehicle she hit thinking it was hers. Oh, she left her 19-month-old daughter behind in her vehicle as well. She was arrested and charged with child endangering, driving while intoxicated, leaving the scene of an accident, failure to maintain reasonable control of a motor vehicle and a seat belt violation. Video report after the jump.…

Lancaster, OH- Around 8 p.m. Monday, officers responded to report of a man running into traffic and yelling threats to a crowd outside a Kmart store. When the officers arrived, they found 31-year old Daniel Wood holding a aerosol can of electronics cleaner in his hand and witnessed Wood huffing from it. Wood must have still had a few braincells left, because he beat feet as soon as he seen the officers approach. When the officers caught up to him, Wood kicked at them and tried to bite them while he continued discharging the aerosol can into his mouth. I wonder if he felt like he was walking on sunshine?…

Tempe, AZ – Not a lot of story to this one, but there was enough to get my teeth grinding. On Saturday, Michelle Antone, 35, awoke from a nap at about 4:00 p.m. She must have been pretty sloshed before she closed her eyes, because when she woke up, she still had a pretty nasty buzz goin’ on. Anyway, when she came to, she got a bit antagonistic with her two daughters, ages 10 and 15. The girls, worried about the state their mother was in, locked her car keys in another room and fled the house. When the girls returned to the home a couple hours later, their mother demanded they hand over the keys – when the older girl told her mother she didn’t have access to the locked room, momma gave ‘em both a dose of pepper spray to the face and fled the house. Police caught up with the mean ass drunk a short time later and she was taken into custody. According to the arresting officers, Antone showed signs of impairment.…

Beggs, Oklahoma ” Walking like a man, hitting like a hammer She’s a juvenile scam, never was a quitter. Tasty like a raindrop, she’s got the look.” (“The Look” Roxette) I can’t figure out which one of these beauties actually thought this, but from a police statement, at least one of them thought “that it brought her back to her teenage years. And that she got ‘that look”. Hahaha! Those two sentences cracked me up. The look of what, exactly? Someone rode hard and put away not only wet, but mildewed? And it doesn’t speak very highly of the teenage years when even then, you may have had to bribe boys with booze and drugs to get laid. And although these two gals were out of school by a few years (at least), their choice of partners weren’t. …

DAYTON, Ohio - You know the old saying of “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”? Well that age-old adage couldn’t be any more true when speaking about Tommie Lee Johnson Jr., 39, and what he did the other day after an argument with the mother of his child on Sunday. After the altercation, Johnson left the home with 2-year-old Ashonti and her 8-month-old brother, Tommie Johnson, III. The mother called police. Police found Johnson a few hours later, but he did not have the children with him nor was he telling police where they were. On Monday morning, an employee of Felty Electric heard some crying outside their business and went to investigate. To his surprise, he found Ashonti and Tommie in their trash can covered in filth where they had been for almost 13 hours.…

Joplin, Missouri – Drinking is such a social event in almost every culture. Fridays after work, a group of employees will often meet up at a local bar and have a few cocktails to celebrate making it through yet another week without killing each other, their boss, or the one person they can’t stand in the office. College weekends were spent in Fraternity/Sorority Houses drinking with classmates and having a fine time. It was the college influence that introduced drinking games into the homes of thousands of people. Back in my day, “Bob” was sure to get you drunk off your ass in just a thirty minute span of time while watching the “Bob Newhart Show” (every time “Bob” was said, every one would drink) Quarters was another drinking game that was used to entertain AND intoxicate. Even though there is widespread participation of underage individuals playing these games, I don’t ever recall playing with an 11 year-old and certainly not to the point of him dying.…

Bartlesville, OK – Some people really can’t handle their liquor and feel the need to make complete asses of themselves in public. For instance, we have Gene Lee and Geneva Curtis, a couple of drunk morons who have been blessed with the ability to breed. The two of them have three children – a 17-month-old and 9-month-old twins. Last Saturday, the inebriated couple were taking a walk with their brood when the toddler made a run for it and dashed out onto one of the busiest streets in Bartlesville, nearly getting hit by a car. According to witnesses, ma and pa didn’t seem to be too concerned over the child’s mad dash, they were too busy bitchin’ at each other. A couple of bystanders made a comment that the couple should “watch their kids better.” Well, Gene and Geneva got a tad offended by those comments – the shit hit the fan – and the kids hit the pavement. …
