A rather humorous story from the smoking gun website, about a man who was arrested for burglary, found naked and covered in dessert...
FEBRUARY 3--A naked burglar covered in chocolate and peanut butter was arrested early Tuesday after workers found him inside a Kentucky (add shock here) supermarket.
Andrew Toothman, 22 and the burglary suspect, was collared by State troopers who responded to a 911 call from a Food World supermarket in the city of Neon. The naked burglar was charged burglary, criminal mischief, and indecent exposure.
A court citation filed yesterday notes that Toothman--who was only wearing a pair of black boots--had “peanut butter and chocolate smeared all over person.” Troopers noted that the store’s front door was “busted out,” and that several fire extinguishers had been discharged. Peanut butter and chocolate were also spread on the market's floor and in the manager’s office.
But the most bizarre bit of vandalism, reporetedly involved NyQuil, the popular cold and flu remedy. “There was nyquil on the floor that spelled out sorry,” according to the police report.
Toothman admitted to breaking into the market, troopers noted. The hapless burglar is being held in the Letcher County jail in lieu of $25,000 bond.

Tampa Bay Criminal Defense Lawyer - Race Car Driver Charged With DUI Manslaughter
By Nicholas Dorsten, Esq.
Originally reported on NBC's Miami website, a famous race car driver may now have to "face the music" as he has been charged with a DUI manslaughter for his role in a deadly crash...
A man who struck and killed a pedestrian with his SUV in Miami Beach recently was none other then Brazilian race car driver J.P. Mauro, according to a Miami police report.
The 20-year-old Brazilian race car driver was driving a silver Mercedes-Benz SUV north on Collins Avenue at about 60 mph in a 30 mph zone when his car swerved left and drove up onto the sidewalk at about 1:30 a.m., said a Miami Beach Police spokesman.
That is where the drunk driver struck a pedestrian who was attempting to put his bicycle into a rear door of another SU. The impact threw the hapless victim “to the sidewalk, mid-block” and he died on the scene.
The Mercedes, driven by J.P. Mauro, kept going north on the sidewalk until it stopped several blocks later.
The driver, whose legal name is acually Joao Paulo Escudero Mauro, had a flushed face and bloodshot eyes, classic signs of a possible DUI. His breath also smelled heavily of alcohol. Mauro acknowledged swerving to avoid a vehicle stopped in traffic in front of him, and that he had been drinking earlier.
Police also noted that Mauro had “a white powdery substance in his left nostril,” and that they found a small baggie of what appeared to be cocaine near where he was standing,some time after the crash.
Mauro has been charged with DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, and cocaine possession, and another charge because he altered his Brazilian state ID card to make him appear of age for drinking alcohol here, police said.
The police are claiming that J.P. Mauro is “a flight risk” and comes from a wealthy family in Brazil, and that the Brazilian Consulate was notified at the request of Mauro’s father.
As a racer, Mauro has competed in Brazilian stock car racing, and made his American debut at a Grand-Am Road Racing event, the Road America 200 Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge in Wisconsin, last June.
I have written in this blog previously about a synergistic affect when it comes to drinkin and driving...That simply means combining alcohol and drugs (such as in this case) can enhance the affects of the two substances, making the user feel more "under the influence" then they might otherwise...

Tampa Bay Criminal Defense Lawyer - Sorry, Wrong Number!
By Nicholas Dorsten, Esq.
From a CBS affiliate in Conneticut, an amusing read about small time drug dealers who accidentely text the police...
While a recent Pew Research study found that almost 75 percent of cell phone owners send text message and those who do, send an average of more than 40 messages each day. With all those text messages coming and going, it’s not surprising that some reach the wrong recipients.
In the Conneticut town of Meridan, police say officers received a text from an unknown sender, offering black market sale of Percocet tablets, the prescription combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen. The quick-thinking cop notified the drug unit, continued communication with the texter, and set up a “buy.”
Police say the two people who showed up to sell the drugs grew suspicious, separated and tried to run, but police were able to take both the unlucky texters into custody and seized 100 Percocet tablets.
Police identified the suspects as a 25-year-old man of Wallingford and a 19-year-old woman of Mansfield. Both face charges of criminal attempt to sell narcotics and conspiracy, and the woman also faces charges involving her attempt to escape.
Police say the investigation continues as they look for the source of the drugs and the person for whom the message was actually intended.
Have you or someone you know been arrested for possession of a controlled substance or sale of controlled substance? Then call the experienced Pinellas criminal defense lawyers of Blake & Dorsten, P.A. today at 727.286.6141.
