In quite an interesting twist of irony, Michael Szeliga of the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department reportedly showed up drunk to a Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) ceremony, where he was being presented with an award for landing more than 100 DUI arrests. Now, this is stupid no doubt, but it MAY have been less stupid if he’d just been getting drunk at the bar outside of the venue or something and stumbled in. But nope! Police believe he drove himself to the conference, thus doing the very same thing he’s been handing out arrests for. Nice. For his part, Szeliga denies it and claims he just had “one or two drinks” beforehand. One of Szeliga’s supervisors described him as “wasted” after seeing him at the conference, and ended up sending him back to his hotel room. He’s since been reprimanded and given one day of paid suspension, and required to write an apology letter to various supervisors. He will still be allowed to pursue his career dream of becoming a detective in the sheriff’s Crimes Against Children unit, however.
(Mug Shot Photo) SMH: 2 Women Arrested In Their Seats After Stealing A Man’s Jay Z Concert Tickets & Running Him Over
People are making law enforcement’s jobs so easy these days. SMH! Two women have been arrested in Houston, after robbing a man who was selling his Jay Z tickets on Craigslist, then running him over with their car while trying to get away. Here’s what went down: the girls saw the ad online and contacted the victim under the guise that they intended to purchase his tickets. Denitra Sherrelle Green and Cessica Desha Darden (Ebro, get your cousin…) met with him at a local Starbucks, and asked him to come outside because they didn’t want to leave a baby in the car. When the victim and his girlfriend went out to the car and leaned into the window to show them the tickets, the driver (Green) accelerated, causing his arm to get stuck in the passenger window and pulling his feet off the ground as the vehicle sped out of the parking lot.

Poor Dupree Johnson. The 19-year-old was clearly an avid Instagram user, but he’ll never get to experience the joy of today’s new DM feature….since he’ll be behind bars for quite some time due to pure STUPIDITY. Dupree already had quite a record with things like grand theft, burglary and felony possession of a firearm, so when a Palm Beach Country sheriff came across his Instagram page, he decided to dig a little deeper and check it out. All the guns and jewelry that were clear as day to see (check out the gallery) were enough for him to head straight to a judge and secure a search warrant ASAP, no Rocky. I’m sure you can guess what happened next. Deputies discovered a Glock, a stolen and loaded Tec-9 9mm pistol, and a staggering $250k worth of stolen jewelry, electronics and guns. Police believe he may be one of several people responsible for as many as 40 burglaries in the area. Dupree has officially been charged with 142 felony counts of being in possession of a weapon or ammo, and is currently behind bars with a now-defunct Instagram page. Oh, and a fabulous gem: When police were filling out the arrest report and asked him for his occupation, he replied “thief.” BYE, sir!
