The 31-year-old Bellevue bride-to-be was racing home from her bachelorette party at 6AM on her Saturday morning wedding day.

The woman was doing 90 while weaving in and out of traffic when a Washington State Patrol officer pulled her over and discovered that the woman's blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit. The woman also had a confession: This wasn't the first time she'd been booked for a DUI.

After being taken to jail, the woman was compassionately released in time to take a taxi and make the ceremony. But she still faces drunken driving charges. And the reality that, while her friends were considerate enough to give her a party before she got hitched, they weren't smart enough to hide her keys.

A 36-year old Cincinnati woman was simultaneously masturbating with a sex toy and watching a pornographic video while driving last week, according to cops who arrested her on assorted charges.

Police interest peaked last Tuesday evening when cops noticed she was driving a 2008 Pontiac with overly tinted windows.

That’s when officers noticed that Hamilton’s pants were unbuttoned. And she had a vibrator in her lap. Questioned by cops, Hamilton admitted to engaging in auto erotic manipulation, and revealed that she had also been watching a porno movie that was playing on the laptop of a friend in the passenger seat,

The woman was booked into the Hamilton County jail on a misdemeanor count of driving with “impaired alertness.” Hamilton was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia since cops found a “broken piece of crack pipe” in her purse.

She was not, however, accused of using the pipe while she was driving and masturbating and watching an X-rated film, the title of which was not released but the woman was on her own recognizance

Lindsay Lohan could get early release from drug rehab Wednesday when a Beverly Hills judge reviews her case.

L.A. County Superior Court Judge will hear the case at an 8:30 a.m. hearing.
Sources familiar with the case said Lohan could be released to an outpatient program. She entered drug rehab Aug. 2 at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.

The judge has already discussed Lohan’s progress in her in-patient rehabilitation with her attorney and the prosecutor.

Lohan was sebtebced to 90 days in rehab and 90 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation for a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence.

Lohan entered the rehab center directly from county jail after serving just 13 days of her 90-day sentence. She was let go early because of good behavior and jail overcrowding.

Lohan had her bail doubled to $200,000 last July after she violated terms of a prior release leading to the current jail and rehab sentences.

A 71-year-old great-grandmother thwarted a would-be robber at a Vermilion, Ohio convenience store over the weekend.

Sandy Frye has worked at the Marathon Quick Mart store for 20 years and has earned the nickname Gramma Tyson because of her feisty attitude.

"I was not scared. I wasn't shaking," said Frye of the would-be robbery attempt. "I was just mad."

According to Vermilion Police, the thug came into the store Saturday around 6PM and waited for customers to leave. After the store was empty, he approached Frye and informed her that he wanted all the money and that he had a gun and if she did not comply he would shoot her.

"I said, no, not going to do it," Frye said. "So I told him, well, bring the gun out or hit the door, one of the two."

Dumbfounded, the would-be robber simply said "thank you, m'am" and left the store. No gun was seen and the suspect did not get any money.

The suspect was described as 6', 200lbs white male short dark hair wearing a dark t-shirt with a cross printed on the chest, jeans and white tennis shoes. The suspect left eastbound on Liberty Ave in a dark colored (poss. Blue) Ford 500

Federal customs agents Friday discovered a shipping container at the Port of Long Beach full of more than 20,000 pairs of counterfeit True Religion designer jeans.

The men's jeans from China were shipped to Long Beach, where customs agents examined the container and found the items to be illegal knockoffs, an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent said.

The True Religion label on each pair of jeans was covered with another label that read, “Tough–Made in the USA” in an attempt to fool the agents.

Agents allowed the container through customs and followed the shipment to a Los Angeles warehouse, where police officers arrested the man.

He was charged with one count of trademark infringement. The jeans had a street value of roughly $1.5 million.

Federal officials also arrested another Southern California man on charges that he continued to sell counterfeit Levi jeans despite an injunction and $1 million judgment issued against him last year.

The 45-year-old Tarzana man (Los Angeles County), has been held without bail since his arrest last week.

According to the U.S. attorney's office, the man is accused of trying to sell the counterfeit jeans from his warehouse to an undercover agent, even after he closed his four L.A. stores. The jeans had been altered to look as if they were made by the San Francisco jeans company.

An Ecuadoran man told investigators he was held in an 800-square-foot Baldwin Park house while his captors demanded $2,500 above the $10,500 he had already paid to be smuggled into the United States.

Another man came from New York to pay $12,000 for the release of his 12-year-old son sequestered in the house. Smugglers then kidnapped the man and demanded another $1,000 from his family for his release.

These were among the stories emerging Friday after 35 illegal immigrants were found in the house Thursday after one of them managed to get a cellphone and called 911.

Baldwin Park officers arrived at the house to find two men running away. Officers detained one of the two, and found a third inside the house.

The suspected smugglers from Guatemala were identified as Ismael Carrillo Castaneda, 20, and Edwin Francisco, 18. They are held in LA County jail on immigration holds.

The men are held without bail on immigration warrants and could be charged with various felonies.

Grammy-winning R&B star R. Kelly ("I Believe I Can Fly"), jailed Wednesday in Chicago on 21 counts of child pornography, was released Thursday after posting a $750,000 bond. As a condition of his release he was ordered to have no contact with minors unrelated to him,

Kelly, 35, was arrested on Wednesday at the central Florida home he and his family have rented for several months because of a videotape he allegedly made with an underage girl.

Kelly is married to a former dancer from his touring group. He was married briefly to singer Aaliyah in the mid-'90s; she was 15 at the time but lied about her age to get the marriage license, and that union was annulled. Aaliyah died in a plane crash last August.
