Driving Drunk... and Blind!
We're not sure which is scarier... a blind man driving, or a drunk man driving. But apparently we need wonder no more: Police in Estonia performed a traffic stop, and got a shock. The man behind the wheel was Kristjan Gradolf, 20, who is legally blind, and was also drunk (two and a half times the legal limit!). He was being directed by a passenger. Not surprisingly, both men face charges. Newswatch50 has more.
San Diego State Drug Bust
Ninety-six people, including seventy-five students, were arrested Tuesday, May 6 in a drug bust on San Diego State University's campus. Authorities seized cocaine, ecstasy, marijuana, psychedelic mushrooms, hashish oil, methamphetamine, prescription drugs, a few guns, and at least $60,000 in cash. There was over $100,000 in drugs that were seized. Six fraternities have also been suspended in conjunction with the investigation. The inquiry started last year after a freshmen sorority member overdosed on cocaine. During the investigation, another student overdosed on cocaine at a fraternity house back in February.
Need a stress buster?
What did you do when you needed to blow off some steam before finals? The students at Arizona State University ran around their campus in their underwear, throwing their clothes in the air. Chances of this happening at Clarkson?
Sigma Pi Charter Revoked
The Epsilon-Omega Chapter of Sigma Pi in Potsdam is no more. SUNY Potsdam revoked all recognition, while the Sigma Pi International Fraternity revoked their charter. The 14 current members will be given Sigma Pi alumnus status, and would be expelled and stripped of said status should they choose to try and operate unrecognized.
This comes less than a week after three members were arrested and charged with felony gang assault following a brawl early Saturday morning in front of Backstreets. Its important to note that this incident was just one of many. Newswatch50 has the details.
Go Go Gadget GPS!
We're all aware of the latest craze of having GPS navigation in your car, such as Tom-Tom, Garmin, Navman, Roadmate, and others... but its becomming ever clearer that some people not only aren't smart enough to use them, but they obviously shouldn't be driving in the first place. Case in point:
A taxi driver in Norfolk, England had to call for help after becomming stranded in a river. The driver claims that he "carried straight on" as directed by the navigation system, even though he could see that it would take him into the river. Um, hello? Newswatch50 has the story.
