Frisco Police Arrest Centennial High Student For Threatening Tweet. You can click this link, but you will learn absolutely nothing more than what I just typed.

DPS Trooper Suspended For Search. Trooper Kelley Helleson, who performed a body cavity search on two women during a July traffic stop, has been suspended without pay, pending results of an investigation into claims by the women that they were humiliated and sexually assaulted when Helleson searched inside their pants.

Dana Brock, The Unimaginatively But Correctly Labeled “Christmas Grinch,” Arrested For Stealing Holiday Decorations. Brock, who has a long criminal record that includes solicitation to commit murder, was selling some of the decorations. She was arrested at her boyfriend Kirk Bienmueller’s home. Bienmueller said, “I was very shocked if she in fact did it. Wow.” He added, “She’s wonderful, you know, most of the time. And sometimes, I don’t know what it is, she’s just mean.” He actually said both of those things.
