MOTHER DEARMichael Kelly, 31, got a call from his mother. She was hysterical: His son was missing, she said. Terrified, he raced over to her house at speeds up to 120 mph to rescue his 9-year-old. After blowing through a red light, Rowan County, N.C., deputies tried to pull him over; he kept going, leading a chase. When they finally got him stopped, Kelly was arrested and charged with the red light violation, driving with a suspended license and speeding to elude arrest – a felony. Oh, and the little boy? Just fine: it was April 1, and Kelly’s mother was just playing an April Fools joke on him. (Charlotte Observer) When the court orders her to care for the kid while Kelly is in prison, will that be funny or not?DETENTION FOR DADOfficials at Menallen School in Uniontown, Penn., say Ronald Washington, 33, called to ask if his son had arrived at school yet. He said he needed to get something from the boy’s backpack. School administrators wasted no time — searching the backpack. They found two plastic bags of suspected marijuana, and called police. By the time Washington arrived at the school, police were there. Putting the bags in the boy’s Elmo backpack “was something dumb,” Washington allegedly told a trooper. He was arrested and charged with possession with intent to deliver marijuana and disorderly conduct and is being held on $100,000 bail. (Uniontown Herald-Standard)Source: www.thisistrue.com
