When both the car and motorcycle were stopped at a light, the driver got out of his vehicle, walked straight up to the motorcyclist and punched him in the face!...

The latest in a long line of accusations, lawsuits, denials, and countersuits, former supermodel Janice Dickinson has sued Bill Cosby for defamation. Dickinson claims Cosby’s denials of her sexual assault allegations against him injured her reputation and caused her emotional distress. The comedian/actor has been accused of sexual assault by over 40 women, but never charged criminally. Since the criminal statute of limitations has expired for Dickinson and many other alleged victims, civil lawsuits like this may be their only recourse....

Instead of taking comfort in these facts, locals are out looking for protection....

Despite the rigorous regulations designed to protect against fraud in the medical and drug treatment industry, greedy individuals will always find ways to perpetrate scams. In Palm Beach, Florida, operators of sober homes, also known as halfway homes, as well as drug treatment centers, have been swept up in a recent sting operation designed to target a dangerous unregulated nexus between the two types of facilities. Sober homes have operated largely unregulated in Florida, and as a result, have been ripe for criminals looking to take advantage of the system....

Todd Harrell of the band 3 Doors Down knows that “When it’s all said and done, it gets hard but it won’t take away my love.” In the bassist’s case, however, it might be a love for alcohol and prescription pills. Harrell was arrested late Friday after a fatal crash in Nashville, Tennessee. The musician posted $100,000 bail on charges including vehicular homicide while intoxicated. When people think of “homicide,” they may think of a grisly “Law and Order” scene, but not all homicides are committed with malicious intent....
