Mother of the Year Almost Kills 12-Year-Old While Cooking Meth
Awful. Thankfully the child wasn’t injured but can we start sending our kids out of the house when we want to cook meth from now on? That would be great:
FOUNTAIN INN, S.C. — Laurens County deputies said that a woman was injured when a methamphetamine lab exploded early Friday morning.
The explosion happened at 443 Durbin Ridge Road.
Deputies said that a woman was dropped off at Hillcrest Hospital early Friday morning with burns to about 40 percent of her body, mainly on her arms and chest. They said the woman was flown to the Augusta Burn Center for treatment.
Investigators said that a 12-year-old was at the home at the time of the explosion, but was not injured.
Wolves would be better parents than this moron.
Terry Lanford Wants to Thank the People of Woodruff for Their Support (and Drug Money)
Disgraced “developer” Terry Lanford made a court appearance yesterday to face charges that he and Spartanburg County Clerk of Court Marc Kitchens were involved in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine and meth. As he left court he gave this statement:
But he did say he would like to thank the people of Woodruff for their support during the last few weeks.
“They’ve been very kind and good to me,” said Lanford, owner of Lanford Properties. “There are a lot of good, Christian people in Woodruff and I really appreciate them standing by me.”
Indeed, but he already thanked them by delivering local drugs to a Florida dealer and underpaying his taxes by $380,000. I’m sure the good people of Woodruff will feel appreciated as they watch the drug related crime and attendant violence blossom in part due to Lanford’s (alleged) funding of the local drug trade. I’m sure in a recession everyone feels the “thanks” of tax cheats and criminals. I’m sure anyone who gets robbed by an addict, or who has a house they can’t sell because it’s next to a dealer, or who sees cuts to essential services will be heartened by the thanks of a drug dealing tax cheat.
Two Arrested in Simpsonville Meth House Raid
Simpsonville Police arrested two men on meth-related charges Friday morning following a multi-week cooperative investigation with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office. Jody Hudson and Timothy Heil were apprehended at a house at 204 Faunawood Drive.
There were two young children in the home at the time of the arrest.
“A neighbor had called in about unusual behavior and several types of people driving up at night and staying a couple of minutes and leaving, so we do believe they were maybe selling drugs out of the house,” said Lt. Ralph Bobo.
The suspects and two children, ages 4 and 2, were removed from the home. All four had to be decontaminated due to the highly toxic chemicals inside.
The children were placed in the custody of the Department of Social Services.
Hudson and Heil are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine, misrepresentation on required log, and exposing a minor to methamphetamine.
Let’s hope child endangerment is added to the list of charges these men face. Cooking meth is stupid and dangerous, but exposing children to the combustible chemicals used in the production of meth is just plain despicable.
Angela Langley Says She Shot Rodney Shane Babb as He Tried to Rape Stacey Patton
Police believe all three may have been taking drugs. I commented on the oddness of this story before, now it just keeps getting odder:
Laurens County Sheriff Ricky Chastain said it’s an unusual case because of having two female suspects.
“It’s very rare,” Chastain said. “First, two women murdering an individual — and then trying to dispose of the body added into that. That’s something we haven’t seen here in Laurens.”
Chastain said that Babb, Patton and Langley may have been using drugs.
According to the incident report, Langley said she shot Babb because he tried to sexually assault Patton.
Chastain said after the women left Babb’s body in the mobile home, they then rented an SUV and bought supplies to clean-up the mobile home that belonged to Patton’s family.
Investigators said that Langley and Patton went to a man and asked him to help them get rid of the body. Instead, the man turned out to be a confidential informant.
Confidential informants are usually criminals who secretly tip cops off to crimes and gather intelligence for authorities in exchange for leniency or money. The fact that the women knew someone who was a C.I. who also just happened to be someone they thought would help them get rid of a body tells me they were shoulders deep in criminality. I’m thinking they were addicts and this is starting to sound like either a trick turned bad or a argument amongst addicts over cash, but as more details come out we’ll see.
Alleged Drug Trafficker is Definitely an Idiot
Don’t you love when criminals are so dumb they practically arrest themselves?
Take Tristan Spain McDaniel, for instance. Travelers Rest Police say the 25-year-old Georgia man was caught trafficking more than three pounds of cocaine across state lines Friday and didn’t bother to make sure his tag lights were in working order.
When an officer pulled McDaniel over on Highway 25 to issue a citation, the car reeked of cologne and air freshener. McDaniel claimed he was on his way to his mother’s house in North Carolina, but didn’t know the address.
Fortunately, the Travelers Rest Police weren’t born yesterday:
Backup arrived and the new officer at the scene wrote McDaniel a warning for the equipment violation.
Meanwhile, the original officer had his K-9 do an exterior search of McDaniel’s car. The officer said in the report his dog, Baron, gave him several alerts.
The officer said McDaniel tried to run away when he said he was going to search his car. After a very brief scuffle, McDaniel was put in the back of a patrol car.
The officer went back to the places in the car where Baron alerted him to the presence of drugs. The officer said he found two cookies underneath the front driver’s seat.
The officer stated in the police report that through his training, he knew of cocaine cookies.
“Cocaine cookies” are solid crack cocaine pressed into cookie-like discs. Police also found three and a half pounds of powdered cocaine, which McDaniel promptly claimed he knew nothing about.
Sure thing, buddy. The innocent always flee from the cops.
McDaniel remains at the Greenville County Detention Center on a $140,000 surety bond. He is charged with possession with the intent to distribute crack cocaine within a half mile of a school, trafficking cocaine, and trafficking crack.
