We interrupt this program to bring you a special report. I can't believe this news. Here's Brandon Jones. Well, you know, mess smugglers nowadays, they've taken to just soaking their clothing in meth, making it easier for them to sneak through inspections. Instead of baggies of meth, they soaked the clothes. It's much less obvious, I guess. Unless the clothes themselves are attention getting, a guy in California was trying to smuggle at LAX for a flight. He was hoping to board to Australia. This would be drug smuggler soaked a how onesie in methamphetamine. He had that in his suitcase with some other clothes in there that he was trying to sneak aboard a plane. This guy checked in two bags at LAX as the cases passed through the X-ray machines. The custom officials became suspicious about the shape and the of this one thing, article of clothing inside. They opened that thing up and they look at it and it's like this cow, they're like, what in the world? What is this? And they found more than a dozen items of clothing in there. But the cow onesie was the one that they were looking at. They pulled that out. It was, they pulled that thing out, it was dried stiff and covered in white residue so they knew-- I'm not touching that thing with a 10-foot pole. They had something in there. Test revealed the clothes were soaked in a meth solution, allowed to dry with more than two pounds of meth concealed among the fabrics there. Here's a crazy story out of Arizona at an amusement park called Castles and Coasters. And it went down last Sunday where a guy climbed out of a moving roller coaster. And you think, well, what was this crazy dude doing? As the things like, click click click click up to the top of the first big dive that goes down, the Desert Storm roller coaster is a double looping roller coaster, but the man in question here got out. He said, because the safety bar became unlatched, he was celebrating his niece's birthday at the Castles and Coasters on Sunday. And he said, we're getting up to the very top. And just seconds before the ride is going to go down, I noticed my lap bar unlatched. And so I climbed out at the top of the walkway. Here he is talking about the scene. It was just adrenaline. And I didn't want to die that day. I heard a click noise that was different from the chain, taking us up the hill. And I checked my lap bar, and it released. It could have been one of the 11-year-olds. Could have been somebody older, not as agile, right? Yeah, the 12 news down there in Arizona reached out to Castles and Coasters for comment but did not get a response. They said Arizona does not regulate amusement parks. So he sees this, he feels this thing is not unlatched. And as it's just what, like stopped at the peak, you know how they always stop there for a few seconds before they go down, he has just that amount of time to get out on. Yeah, just a couple seconds. Oh, God. How many people would do that? I mean, how many people would chance that? Because once you, if you start getting out and it starts moving, you're going to get clipped down. Your belt loop catches on something. Who knows what? All right, and in Georgia, first, at first everyone thought, well, there's that, there's that Deputy Garrison Page doing his usual great job, directing traffic in front of the elementary school there, keeping all those kids safe. Look at that, Deputy. In fact, this guy, this Deputy Page, he won Deputy of the Year a few years ago. Deputy Page, Deputy of the Year Award winner. But upon closer look, Deputy Page, they're directing traffic using the full hand gestures and everything. Upon closer look, there was no traffic. And he was flagging, it looked like, what is he doing out there? Were the cars invisible? No, Deputy Page was drunk. He'd turn to Page. When a school board official asked him what's going on, his reply was, "None of your business." This was out front of Skyview Elementary School in Lozella, Georgia, where Deputy Page was dressed in plain clothes. Though he was driving a patrol car, this was last Tuesday. And as he was being questioned by this school board official, he was slurring his words and standing unsteadily. One witness told authorities that Deputy Page appeared not right and was talking to himself while directing cars that did not exist. And he smelled of alcohol. Inside that police car, they found an open can of Mike's harder lemonade and an unopened can of natural light, so he was gonna hit that next. He refused to take a breath test and was uncooperative at the county jail. Staff reported that he tried to remove a needle from his arm during an attempted blood test. And that was it for Deputy Page. Don't know if he had to return the Deputy of the Year award. He won a few years ago, but pretty sure he won't be in contention for any more of those.
