Just plane stalkerish.

A creepy guy followed a Georgia mother and daughter into an airport bathroom in Washington, DC, then onto a Delta flight without a valid boarding pass — prompting crew members to kick him off the plane and delaying takeoff, authorities said.

Lauren Benton noticed a disturbed man trailing her family — including her two children, ages 6 and 9 — near their gate at Washington Dulles International Airport as they prepared to fly home Aug. 2, she told USA Today.

“My heart sunk down into my stomach,” Benton said. “With our children we were trying to create the perception that...

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

This ice age is over. 

Experts are urging air travelers to avoid adding ice cubes to their drinks while on a plane, saying you could contract nasty germs by doing so. 

“Don’t get ice in your drink,” warned a flight attendant in a Reddit thread, detailing unsavory industry secrets. “The ice is put in a tray with a scoop, and the trays don’t get cleaned very often.”

“Every surface on the plane is touched by hundreds of people daily and not often disinfected,” the attendant continued. “We don’t have the opportunity to wash our hands at all during the beverage service.”
