A short-lived rap career may have come to an end last week, as a Massachusetts high school student was arrested for making terrorist threats in a Facebook post.
Cameron D'Ambrosio, who calls himself "CammyDee" online, was arrested after a student at Methuen High School noticed D'Ambrosio posted threats to "kill people" on Facebook, reports The Valley Patriot.
D'Ambrosio now faces serious criminal charges.
Visine is meant to "get the red out" of dry, itchy eyes. But a California man is accused of using Visine to poison his girlfriend.
A chemical in Visine can make a person ill if it's ingested in large enough doses. That's what happened to Shayne Carpenter's girlfriend after he allegedly snuck a few drops of Visine into her drink during a fight.
Carpenter, 27, was booked on domestic violence charges as well as poisoning, reports UPI. Aside from his girlfriend's illness, prosecutors will likely also be using Carpenter's own words against him.
A man sleeping in his pickup truck was awakened during a burglary attempt. The sleeping man did what you'd think a Texan would do. He shot at the burglar.
The incident occurred near Houston in a Wells Fargo parking lot as the unidentified burglary victim was sleeping in the backseat of his pickup truck. The man was waiting for his wife to transact business inside when he heard a large crash and was stunned by the brazen burglary attempt, reports the Houston Chronicle.
The burglar punched out the front passenger-side window and the victim thought that he was being shot at. So he reached for his gun.
Catching a rapist? There's an app for that.
While many people have privacy concerns about iPhones and their location-based applications, an iPhone app actually led police to an alleged rapist and as a result, he was apprehended.
NYPD officers caught the suspect by tracking the iPhone he allegedly stole from his victim, reports New York's WNBC-TV.
It's generally a bad idea to make threats on Facebook. But it's an especially poor choice if your target is President Obama, or any president for that matter.
Don't just take our word for it, ask Christopher Castillo. The 28-year old Florida man was convicted on Tuesday for threatening to kill the President in a Facebook post. He could face several years in prison at sentencing.
But what about his free speech rights under the First Amendment? Well, that right, like all others, has limits, and Castillo's actions put him outside its protection.
An alleged marijuana-seeking mom has been charged in the death of her twin sons in a house fire.
Dalawna Berran-Lett, 32, allegedly locked her boys inside their home for almost an hour while she tried to track down her missing marijuana stash, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
But while Berran-Lett was out on her pot-retrieval mission, her boys turned on the stove in their house. Grease on the stove caught fire, and soon the entire home was engulfed in flames.
Parents have definitely been concerned for the past month, after the tragic shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut.
But some parents are taking their concerns to the next level. In fact, one father in Texas allegedly tried to "test out" one school's security by telling staffers at an elementary school that he'd brought a gun into the building.
Ronald Miller was unarmed when he told a school greeter at Celina Elementary School that he had a gun and that his target was outside, reports Dallas-Ft. Worth's KXAS-TV.
The greeter froze upon hearing Miller's claim, and Miller proceeded into the building. Miller was also recognized by staffers as a parent of a student.
Oh Santa, it looks like you've been naughty from the Santa Claus DUI videos we've seen on the Internet.
Are Kris Kringle's cheeks red from the cold or the booze? Is that "Ho Ho Ho" because he's so jolly or because he's drunk? Does he know that his sleigh is a vehicle and he can't drive it while he's intoxicated?
It doesn't matter who you are, if you have too many drinks and get behind the wheel you're going to get busted for a DUI. But if you're Santa, someone might make a video of it and then everyone will know.
Here are three Santa-related DUI arrest videos and the lessons we can learn from them:
A couple of University of Colorado students are in serious trouble after allegedly feeding pot brownies to unsuspecting classmates and their professor. The CU students face multiple felony charges for what they likely considered a practical joke.
Police say three people, including the professor, were sent to the hospital as a result of eating the brownies and that five others were sickened, the Daily Camera reports.
The students, 21-year-old Thomas Ricardo Cunningham and 19-year-old Mary Elizabeth Essa, face felony charges of second-degree assault, inducing the consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means, conspiracy to commit second-degree assault, and conspiracy to induce the consumption of controlled substances by fraudulent means, according to the Camera.
A handyman trying to settle a payment dispute ended up being held hostage in Morgan Hill, California.
The handyman arrived at the home of Jason DeJesus and Chanelle Troedson on Monday morning, presumably to talk about a dispute over past work he'd done. The man had previously worked on repairs for DeJesus' mother, and not been paid in full.
But that morning the pair beat him, threatened his life, and forced the handyman to make repairs around the house. So the man bided his time and waited for a chance to escape.
