news of the weird
Feb. 15th, 2008 09:24 pmOn Super Bowl Sunday, a deputy saw a car drive through a red light and swerve back and forth over the center lane on U.S. 1 South in St. Augustine, Florida. The deputy stopped the car.
Investigators say the woman, who identified herself as Tina Williams, smelled of alcohol. According to the report, Williams told the deputy she never had a license and was running out of gas. The deputy saw a case of Busch beer in the front seat with a seat belt around it, and a baby girl in the backseat with her mother.
When asked why the girl wasn't restrained, Williams reportedly told the officer, "I don't know." Williams told the deputy she had a few drinks. Authorities say she staggered when she got out of her car.
The deputy arrested her for DUI after she failed a field sobriety test. Authorities also found two silver metal pipes in her purse. Williams faces charges of driving under the influence, child endangerment, driving without a valid license running a red light and not having a seatbelt or child restraint.
Tolerance
Officials of Hyde Park Baptist Church in Austin Texas, initially agreed to host the annual multidenominational Austin Area Interreligious Ministries Thanksgiving celebration last year, but abruptly canceled when they came to realize that Muslims could pray there as well. In response to criticism over its action, the church said that it hopes the religious community "will... be tolerant of our church's beliefs" that necessitated the decision.
