With few exceptions, every state set the blood-alcohol bar for drunk driving at .08 percent. And most state alcohol consumption laws are similar, as well. But states are, pardon the pun, all over the map when it comes to marijuana enforcement, ranging from therapeutic CBD oil use only in severe medical cases to legalized recreational use. So it’s only natural that state laws regarding marijuana-involved drugged driving offenses would vary as well....

The cause behind the countrywide reports of sushi-related salmonella poisoning might have finally been found. A Cupertino, Calif. company has issued a voluntary recall of yellowfin tuna. Moon Marine USA Corporation is flagging 59,000 pounds of frozen yellowfin tuna for the recall. The salmonella outbreak has sickened 116 people across 20 states. No deaths have been reported, but 12 people have been hospitalized, CBS News reports. But which states have been affected so far by the salmonella outbreak?...

Divorce battles are nasty. However, it seems like celebrity divorces take the nastiness to a whole other level. Bill O’Reilly and his ex-wife, Maureen McPhilmy, divorced back in 2011. However, their custody battle has dragged out for three long bitter years. Recently specific allegations have surfaced. Allegedly, O’Reilly’s daughter witnessed her father dragging McPhilmy down a staircase by the neck. Reports also claim that O’Reilly tried to use his influence with the Nassau County Police Department to investigate McPhilmy and her new beau, a Nassau County Police detective....

Jury selection in the Casey Anthony murder trial started today amongst intense media frenzy. While jury selection is taking place in Tampa Bay, the trial, which presiding Chief Judge Belvin Perry hopes to get started on May 17, is expected to occur in Orlando, about 100 miles away. For those who have managed to escape the Casey Anthony coverage, the 25-year-old is being charged with 1st degree murder for the death of her 2-year-old daughter who she says was kidnapped and killed by a babysitter....

Ah yes. The Chris Brown restraining order. Clearly a relic of times past. He’s completed his 52-week domestic violence course, so why would Rihanna need its protection? He’s obviously recovered. Everyone remembers when, two years ago, Chris Brown was arrested for punching Rihanna several times in the head, choking her, biting her ear and fingers, and then threatening to kill her. More shocking than the photographs was his sentence: five years of probation, 1,400 hours of laborious community service, and a domestic violence program....

Rock band Coheed and Cambria’s bassist, Michael Todd, was arrested for robbing a pharmacy in Massachusetts. The robbery occurred just a few hours before Coheed and Cambria was set to open for Soundgarden. Todd allegedly went into the Walgreens store and gave the pharmacists a note that said he had a bomb. He demanded around 6 bottles of prescription painkillers (OxyContin), reports The New York Times. He then hopped onto a cab where he was taken to the Comcast Center in Massachusetts, where the concert was going to be held, The New York Times reports....

Is it the one of the highest penalties levied on an single person by the SEC, or is it merely a slap on the wrist with no deterrent effect for upcoming generations of potential white collar criminals? Depends on who you ask. One thing that is certain: former Countrywide Financial CEO Angelo Mozilo will be paying a sizable chunk of his fortune in a settlement reached recently with the Securities and Exchange Commission....

A stolen identity can ruin your financial life for years, making it difficult to get a credit card, buy a house or car, or even find a job. The fact that identity theft victims may not discover a breach of their personal information for months makes this even more painful. Thieves have a disturbing amount of time to wreak havoc. With the spread of the Internet, identity theft has become easier to perpetrate, increasing the number of victims exponentially....

A Stanford University swimmer who was planning to compete in the Olympics will be spending the next few months in county jail, the next few years on probation, and the rest of his life on the sex offender registry. But as bad as that sounds, the defendant, Brock Turner, received a light sentence given the severity of his crimes. Turner, 20, was convicted in March of three felony counts for his January, 2015 assault on a passed-out drunk woman on the Stanford campus outside of a frat party....

The Georgia Supreme Court ruled on Monday that it was constitutional for private probation companies to monitor offenders but ruled it was illegal to extend sentences once imposed. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the state’s High Court found that private probation supervision companies like Sentinel Offender Services were allowed to supervise misdemeanor probationers, but they couldn’t extend their sentences. This ruling may impact the $40 million in supervision fees private companies collect from low-level offenders....

The Insane Clown Posse’s FBI lawsuit threat may make the hip-hop duo “nervious” [sic], but they apparently aren’t clowning around. The potential lawsuit seeks to stop the FBI from “violat[ing] the rights of Juggalos” – which is what ICP fans are called – “on the mistaken belief that they are ‘gang members,’” according to a statement posted on a new website, JuggalosFightBack.com. The FBI’s 2011 National Gang Threat Assessment report identifies Juggalos as a “hybrid gang” akin to violent groups like the Crips, Bloods, and MS-13, The Village Voice reports....

Mercedes-Benz is recalling almost 137,000 of its M-Class sport utility vehicles because tapping the brake may not disengage the cruise control. Mercedes says the recall covers the 2000–02 M-Class and the 2000–04 M-Class AMG, a high-performance model, according to a document published Tuesday on the Web site of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The automaker told N.H.T.S.A. that it had found a problem with the brake-lamp switch; applying the brakes doesn’t send the electronic signal needed to disengage the cruise control, The New York Times reports....

Donald Trump doesn’t ask permission, generally speaking. He acts first and lets others demand apologies later. So it should not be surprising that over the course of his campaign for president, the brazen candidate has used more than a few songs without the permission of the artists who wrote and own them. The latest to join the growing list is Queen’s 1977 song, “We Are the Champions.” Last week, Brian May – the former Queen guitarist – posted a statement on his personal website, according to The Hollywood Reporter, saying that Trump did not seek or receive permission from the band to use the rousing anthem in association with his campaign....

You probably don’t know the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), but your favorite songwriters may be members of the organization. This week, ASCAP entered into a settlement agreement with the Department of Justice, paying $1.75 million to resolve allegations that it was involved in anti-competitive practices. The organization did not admit guilt, but it has promised to reform its ways. ASCAP was accused of signing exclusive contracts that interfered with the individual members’ ability to directly license their songs in violation of a previous court order....

Check please! This is what approximately 500 California based applicants for American citizenship have been waiting for, some for years. As might be expected, a huge increase in names has slowed the FBI process since 2001. The Fresno Bee reports that in 2007, the FBI had as many as 350,000 name checks pending, “but has since bolstered staffing and upgraded technology to reduce the backlog.” The FBI name check process applies to all applicants seeking “privileges” such as citizenship, attendance at a White House function, government employment or security clearance....

New York Police Commissioner Bill Bratton apologized to former tennis star James Blake after Blake was body-slammed to the ground in a case of mistaken identity. Undercover officers were allegedly investigating a credit card fraud ring and tackled Blake as he exited the Hyatt hotel in Manhattan on Wednesday. The officer who took down Blake has reportedly been reassigned to desk duty and Bratton acknowledged, “The use of force is such that I’m comfortable that it’s in the best interest of the department to place the officer on modified assignment....

Supervised release works for some ex-cons. Time spent in halfway houses can help some recently released offenders acclimate to life outside and more easily transition into life after prison. Others, not so much. Phillip Allen Nelson didn’t quite take to supervised release, and while there the convicted bank robber knocked over two more banks less than a month after he had been paroled. 2 Bank Robberies, 1 Week Nelson was convicted of robbing the Pacific Continental Bank in Eugene in March 2009....

Police have uncovered new evidence in the case of Breeann Rodriguez, a 3-year-old girl who disappeared near her home in Senath, Missouri around noon on Saturday.
