Kelsey Gallagher Seriously Injured After Diving Into Stranger’s Empty Pool
WESTFORD, MA - Police have charged 18-year-old Kelsey Gallagher with trespassing after Gallagher dived head first into a someone’s empty pool a little after midnight Monday, and ended up with a spinal injury, a fractured skull and a broken wrist.
According to Westford Police Department spokesman Capt. Victor Neal, police were called to a North Main Street home around 12:30 a.m. where they found Gallagher in the pool unconscious and breathing. Her friend, 20-year-old Alexis Mcauliffe, was there as well and told police the pair had been out looking for pools to swim in.
“It appears from the investigation that Gallagher dove head first into the empty pool,” Neal wrote in a press release. “Also alcohol may have been a factor in this incident but no alcohol was found at the scene.”
After Gallagher took her header, Mcauliffe banged on the door of the pool’s owner, begging for help. He immediately called 911 and then went to check on Gallagher. “Seeing someone at the bottom of the pool like that. That time of night. It was dark, didn’t really know what was going on. Yeah, I was really afraid she was seriously hurt,” the owner said.
Gallagher was taken to the hospital where she was listed in stable condition and is expected to recover. Her mother says her daughter woke up apologizing and asking about her friend. Police said Gallagher and Mcauliffe will both be summonsed to court for trespassing.

Luis Briones Arrested After Having Sex With Woman While Driving Drunk, Crashing Vehicle
ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Police in New Mexico have arrested 25-year-old Luis Briones after they say he was having sex with a woman while driving drunk when he crashed his vehicle.
“Mr. Briones was observed to be having sexual intercourse with the passenger and sped off… at a high rate of speed,” the police officer wrote in a criminal complaint. “Their activities presented a danger to others in the roadway as exhibited by the accident.”
Police said that after Briones sped off, he crashed his 2006 Ford Explorer into another car after running a red light. The resulting collision ejected his female passenger from the vehicle. She was found on the ground, naked, and suffering from deep cuts to her face and hands.
Witnesses stated Briones was obviously drunk when he exited his vehicle and eventually tried to drive away from the scene, leaving the naked woman behind. When one of the witnesses took the keys from the ignition, Briones ran off and hid behind a nearby cactus wearing one shoe and with his shorts on inside-out.
Police say that when they arrived on the scene, Briones refused to come out from behind the cactus and became hostile towards paramedics. He also refused to keep his pants on once he was placed inside a police car.
Briones was arrested and charged with aggravated DWI, reckless driving and evading police.
Andres Munos-Munos Charged With Intoxication Manslaughter In Death Of Sheriff’s Deputy - http://bit.ly/16LNvx6
The Houston Police Department say Munos-Munos drove through a red light and hit the Polk’s personal truck at approximately 3 a.m. Sunday. There were no skid marks on the road, signifying Munos-Munos didn’t even try to stop or slow down before the crash.
Munos-Munos suffered only minor injuries, while Sgt. Dwayne Polk would be pronounced dead on the scene. Polk had been with the sheriff’s office for 16 years, and was in uniform when he was killed. By Sunday afternoon, the intersection where Polk was killed had been turned into a memorial as friends and family left mementos and notes.
“Tough morning,” Sheriff Adrian Garcia tweeted. “The HCSO suffered a terrible loss & we are all grieving. Keep HCSO members & their families in your prayers.”
Munos-Munos, who is in this country illegally, has been charged with intoxicated manslaughter and is currently being held without bond. This is not Munos-Munos’ first rodeo. He was previously arrested in 2010 for DWI and unlawful carrying of a weapon. Though he was deported from the United States in 2012, he apparently made his way back and contributed to this country by killing a man who, by all accounts, was an upstanding member of our society.
Sheriff Garcia sent this e-mail to his staff following Polk’s death:
The members of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office mourn the untimely death of Sgt. Dwayne Polk, a 16 year veteran of the HCSO and a dedicated public servant.
The HCSO deals with on a daily basis the tragedy that happens in our community. Our deputies are trained to handle these situations and do what we can to help our citizens move forward when they have been touched by tragedy. Today, it reminds us that although we wear badges and guns, we too are human and our hearts hurt and are heavy as anyone else who has dealt with the loss of a son, a brother, a dedicated colleague, a caring friend and a proud father. Our prayers are with Sgt. Polk’s family and those who knew him best.
Sgt. Polk’s death reminds us that we must stop these senseless actions at the hands of irresponsible individuals who insist on ignoring the law and common sense, and get behind the wheel after having too much to drink!
As we move forward, Sgt. Polk’s death will not be in vain. We will continue to put behind bars those who run the risk of devastating other families, as the Polk family has been. It was eerily ironic that on the morning of June 18th I was with Mothers Against Drunk Driving as they held the annual “Walk Like MADD”.
Let’s remind ourselves that these deaths can be prevented either by personal responsibility or by handcuffs, but we will not stop in our efforts to save lives on our roadways!
Two Women Charged With Cruelty After Leaving Children At Bar To Go On Mother’s Day Booze Cruise - http://bit.ly/106Y2z5
On Mother’s Day, law enforcement were called to Gator Joe’s Bar and Grill on Lake Weir after two children, ages 8 and 6, approached employees to say they could not find their mothers and felt that they had been abandoned.
The children told responding police officers that they were playing on the beach when they noticed their mothers were missing. Police started looking for the women but only found their chairs and belongings undisturbed on the beach.
That’s when a man named “John” approached deputies and told them he knew one of the women and had seen her and the other woman get on a boat an hour earlier. The boat the women were on eventually came back to the beach and the two women, who were highly intoxicated, fell into the water as they tried to get off.
Williams allegedly began yelling at her 8-year-old for calling the cops. Both women told police they had only left the children for 10 minutes and that the children had been left in the care of the 8-year-old’s godfather. The godfather turned out to be John, a man the children had never met before that day, and whose last name neither women knew.
Williams and Daffron were both arrested and have been charged with child neglect. Daffron faced an extra charge of resisting arrest without violence after she tried to pull away from an officer and was thrown to the ground.
Both children were placed in the care of relatives.
Michele Wanko Shot And Killed Husband During Drunken Gun Training Session - http://bit.ly/ZXMnPe
Michele Wanko Shot And Killed Husband During Drunken Gun Training Session
Parkside, PA – Police have charged 42-year-old Michele Wanko with involuntary manslaughter after they say she accidentally shot and killed her husband during a drunken gun training exercise in the basement of the couple’s home.
Police were called to the couple’s home early Saturday morning after receiving a frantic 911 call from Michele. Inside the home, at the bottom of the basement stairs, was the dead body of Michele’s husband, 43-year-old William Wanko.
He was rushed to the hospital suffering from a single gunshot wound to the chest, where he was pronounced dead.
Michele told police that she and William had been drinking vodka and lemonade for about six hours when William decided to show her how to shoot some of the guns he kept locked in a safe in the basement in case someone ever broke in while he was away.
So while the couple’s two children, ages 5 and 2, slept upstairs, William began showing Michele how to properly handle the guns.
“He took several of the weapons out, handguns and was demonstrating to her how the weapon worked as far as taking the magazine out, making sure it was safe, and how to pull the slide back,” said Parkside Police Chief John Egan.
That’s when Michele pulled the slide back on one of the handguns as she had been shown and the gun went off, striking William once in the chest.
“He was able to say, according to her, ‘I can’t believe you shot me,’” Egan said. William tried to run up the basement steps but ended up falling back down. Michele then called 911.
Michele Wanko was arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and has since been released on bail. The couple’s two sons have been placed with family members.
“It’s a very sad situation, not only for the wife who has to live with this for the rest of her life, but their children who have to live with this and, of course, have to grow up without a father,” Egan said, adding that the case is a sobering reminder of what can happen when alcohol and firearms mix.
“Why, after six-and-a-half hours of drinking, would you go down and handle a gun, especially with someone who never shot a weapon before?” Egan said. “The real big common denominator is the alcohol and it ended up costing him his life.”
Three Teens Arrested On Sexual Assault Charges Following 15-Year-Old Audrie Pott’s Suicide - http://bit.ly/YhyOto
Three Teens Arrested On Sexual Assault Charges Following 15-Year-Old Audrie Pott’s Suicide
Santa Clara, CA – Police in California have arrested three 16-year-old boys, accusing them of sexually assaulting 15-year-old Audrie Pott at a party last year. Days later, Audrie would kill herself after photos of the attack began circulating online.
Audrie Pott was attending a house party at a friend’s house in September 2012 with about eight or ten high school students. Alcohol was being consumed and Audrie got so drunk she ended up unconscious in a bedroom. That’s where at least three male teens performed various sexual acts on her.
“Based on what we know, she was unconscious, there were multiple boys in the room with her,” attorney Robert Allard said. “They did unimaginable things to her while she was unconscious.”
During the assault, someone took photos of Audrie which were first spread via cell phones but ultimately ended up on Facebook. Shortly after the incident, Audrie wrote on her Facebook page: “The whole school knows…My life is ruined.” A week later, Audrie took her own life after learning that photos of the sexual assault were being distributed online.
Audrie’s parents, who didn’t even know their daughter had been raped until after she killed herself, want the teens prosecuted as adults and plan to sue about 10 other people, including students and some parents. “What these boys did is beyond unconscionable,” Allard said. “They should be held to the highest standard of the law to make sure this never ever happens again.”
All three boys are currently being held in a juvenile facility until their detention hearing next week. As of Thursday evening, they have not been charged with a crime. Along with the sexual battery charges, they may also be facing charges of disseminating child porn online. The sheriff’s office said their investigation is far from over and they are still in the process of writing search warrants.
Audrie’s family members have since created the Audrie Pott Foundation providing Art and Music scholarships to Students in the San Francisco Bay Area. They also plan to hold a news conference on Tuesday where they would like to see Audrie’s name associated with legislation that would seek to prevent cyber bullying.
Two Teens Severely Burned After Dumbass Throws Vodka Into Frat Party Bonfire
TEMPE, AZ - Andrew Kent is facing assault charges after the 21-year-old jackass tossed vodka into a bonfire at an Arizona State University frat party, severely burning two teenage girls.
One of the victims is a 17-year-old high school student from California who was at ASU on a recruiting trip, the other is an 18-year-old female ASU student. Both girls were invited to a party at a fraternity house located off campus.
According to Tempe Sgt. Michael Pooley, the party had been going on since Friday and there were about 300 people present and a lot of underage drinking going on.
According to witnesses, the teen was standing next to a a bonfire when Kent, a junior at ASU and a member of the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity, threw a vodka bottle into a bonfire. The resulting explosion set the two teen girls on fire.
Both teens suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns as a result. The 17-year-old sustained severe burns to her legs, while the 18-year-old sustained serious burns from the back of her shoulder to the back of her legs.
The younger of the two girls stopped, dropped and rolled while others present jumped on her to help extinguish the flames. After the girls were no longer on fire, and the skin was peeling off their bodies, some members of the fraternity asked the 17-year-old if she could do them a solid.
“After she received the burns, she was asked to leave the party to go down the street and wait for the fire department to get there because they were afraid the police were going to get there and there was obviously underage drinking going on,” said Pooley. “What they wanted to do was cover up everything that was going on.”
The 17-year-old was taken to the burn center for treatment while the older girl first sought help from her firefighter father before going to the hospital.
Andrew Kent was arrested Monday and is now looking at two felony counts of aggravated assault and two felony counts of endangerment. His bond has been set at $15,000.
The fraternity had its charter revoked in 2001 for behavioral problems, and just had it re-instated in 2008. College officials said they will be investigating any allegations of student misconduct, so I have a feeling members of Sigma Phi Epsilon may want to start looking for another frat.
Check out the following video to check out just how serious these burns were.
James Watson Beat Roommate After Waking Up To Find A Dick Drawn On His Face - http://bit.ly/108ZdLI
Watson, 31, fell asleep on his couch after a night of drinking. When he woke up at around 5:30 a.m., he became enraged when he found his roommate had drawn a dick on his face, and that it would not wash off.
Police say that Watson ran upstairs to the bedroom of the roommate he suspected of drawing the dick, and jumped on him while he was sleeping. After repeatedly punching the other man in the face, a third roommate managed to separate the two.
An little over an hour after the assault, the beaten artist decided he was going to press charges and called police. The roommate paid for his dick move with extensive injuries to his face, including a swollen, bleeding eye, and was taken to the hospital.
I’m guessing the injuries must have been pretty bad, as police ended up arresting Watson and charging him with malicious wounding. He is being held without bond.
I don’t blame Watson for getting pissed about having a penis drawn on his face with a permanent marker. Me and my friends used to pull crap like this all the time and occasionally, depending on the prank, things did get heated. Of course, these kind of drunken shenanigans ended when we were in our 20s.
Enjoy your newfound fame, James “Dickface” Watson. At 31-years-old, you have succeeded in having your picture plastered online for the entire world to see forever, a picture that clearly shows the crudely drawn dick on your face. Kudos.
Kathryn Wright Charged After Chaperoning Grandson’s School Trip While Drunk - http://bit.ly/YCIqSt
Kathryn Wright Charged After Chaperoning Grandson’s School Trip While Drunk
PALM BAY, FL - Kathryn Wright was arrested after police say the 58-year-old grandmother got drunk off her ass while chaperoning a bus filled with children returning from an elementary school field trip.
Police say Wright drank two bottles of diluted vodka while in accompanying her grandson, and 200 other students at Lockmar Elementary School, on a trip to WonderWorks in Orlando. On the way back to Palm Bay, Wright became belligerent and started using profanity in front of approximately 36 other students on the bus.
She got so bad that other adults on the bus moved Wright’s grandson away from her because he was getting upset. When the adults tried to calm Wright down, she shouted at the others, telling them to “get the (expletive) out of my way or else,” and pushed one woman.
Police were called and met the bus before it got back to the school. Wright was so drunk at that point, she couldn’t even walk off the bus on her own. She was arrested and charged with disorderly intoxication and battery.
“The kids were really upset,” one of the other chaperones said. “They (school officials) said they were going to have a guidance counselor come in the next day to talk to the kids and explain what happened.”
According to Brevard Public Schools policy, volunteers must submit to a background check. The policy doesn’t mention what offenses would keep someone from being a volunteer, but Wright has a 2006 conviction for driving under the influence.
Caleb Gordley Shot To Death By Homeowner After Mistakenly Entering Wrong House - http://bit.ly/Zfz6jB
Caleb Gordley Shot To Death By Homeowner After Mistakenly Entering Wrong House
Sterling, VA - After sneaking out of his house to go drinking with friends, 16-year-old Caleb Gordley was shot to death a few hours later after he mistakenly entered the wrong home.
Police say after drinking with friends Saturday night, Caleb was dropped off at the upscale neighborhood he and his family had lived in for only a year. After hopping a fence at around 2:40 in the morning, Caleb entered a home he thought was his, but was actually his neighbor’s home two doors down.
The homeowner, Donald Wilder, was alerted to someone in his house after a security alarm was triggered when Caleb entered the home through a back window. Wilder called 911 to report an intruder, but ended up shooting Caleb as the teen made his way up the stairs to where Wilder and his family were sleeping.
The two homes are similar looking, especially in the back, and are located in a neighborhood populated by McMansions. Investigators feel that Caleb had no ill-intent when he entered Wilder’s home, but that his inebriated state had him confused as to what house he was entering.
No charges are expected to be filed against Wilder, as Virginia law states states a you can use deadly force if you feel your life is in danger. Caleb’s parents have forgiven Wilder for killing their son, noting that this was just a tragic accident.
‘I just want you to know I forgive you. I understand this was an accident,’ Caleb’s mother Jennae Gordley said. Caleb’s father, Shawn Gordley, echoed his wife’s sentiments, adding, ”I’m praying he wasn’t scared at that moment.”
Friend’s of Caleb speak very highly of the teen, describing a promising rapper and star high school athlete at Park View High School.
“He was on the basketball team, baseball… he brought happiness to the whole team,” said one friend. “If you had classes with him, there was no way you weren’t leaving that class without a smile,” said another.
Neighbor’s also speak highly of Wilder, saying he is a volunteer firefighter who has lived in the neighborhood for at least nine years.
“He is a great neighbor, a helper, someone who spends spare time volunteering to help others,” one neighbor said. “He’s an active member of our community. He’s a good person.”
Although Caleb’s parents may have forgiven him, reports are someone went to Wilder’s home and began wildly gesturing at a man who answered the door before getting into a car, backing up and then running into Caleb’s home.
I did something similar as a teen. I left the house after my parents crashed, got drunk, then crept back inside. The only problem is that, for some reason, I went to their room instead of mine. Then, at 3 o’clock in the morning on a school night, I performed the Nestea plunge on their bed. Scared the shit out of them as well as me. I lost my car for a couple weeks because of that one, but it was still funny.
WESTFORD, MA - Police have charged 18-year-old Kelsey Gallagher with trespassing after Gallagher dived head first into a someone’s empty pool a little after midnight Monday, and ended up with a spinal injury, a fractured skull and a broken wrist.
