Suspect Arrested in Killing of 8-Year-Old Sandra Cantu

Whit Honea — Sun, 12 Apr 2009 02:18:00 GMT

There has been an arrest made in the case of Sandra Cantu, the murdered 8-year-old girl that went missing last month in California. The suspect is a neighbor- the mother of Sandra's friend and a Sunday school teacher at the local church.

The mystery surrounding Sandra Cantu's disappearance and the tragedy of her subsequent discovery has been analyzed and discussed by the media and law-enforcement for weeks. It is a sad reality that cases such as this have a way of creating a sense of infamy among the participants. Hence Sandra Cantu's name and image becoming commonplace across our TV's, newspapers and computer screens. Hence our common disgust and shared outrage.

So it is that 28-year-old Melissa Huckaby will be etched into our collective conscience- a nobody from nowhere that allegedly committed a crime of such gruesome magnitude that the media cannot help but serve her life story up on a silver platter. Her face will be everywhere and it will be too late for Sandra Cantu.

Huckaby is in the San Joaquin County Jail, booked on charges of kidnapping and murder.

Our thoughts go out to the family and friends of Sandra.

Harry Potter Star Up in Smoke

Whit Honea — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 18:02:00 GMT

Jamie Waylett, the young actor who plays Vincent Crabbe in the Harry Potter films, has been arrested for pot. They let him slide on the "mustache."

Sure, he's a kid. He's growing up in the public eye and yada, yada, yada. It's just weed. Yes, yes and yes, but check this out. He had nearly $3,000 worth of cannabis in his home. Which is about $2,990 more than any of my friends ever had on them when we were that age. Whatever happened to the dime bag?

Waylett, who has been dubbed "Harry Pothead" in the media, not only had 10 grown plants in his house but hydroponic lights (which the Daily News notes were all located next to his Playstation and DJ decks- I'm pretty sure I knew this guy in college). He was charged with producing the drug and may face up to 14 years in jail.

Crabbe lives with his mom and siblings. How does a parent not notice a field of pot in their kid's room? I couldn't even hide a warm can of beer without getting busted.

I've only got one word for Waylett: Dementors.

Gary Dourdan Refuses Rehab

Karen — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:36:00 GMT

Former CSI star Gary Dourdan is refusing televised rehab after his arrest for drug posession. Rumors circulated the actor that he would go on the "Celebrity Rehab" reality show.

"For the record, contrary to what's written on the web, I will not be (doing) any celebrity rehab. That's completely false."

The actor avoided jail after pleading guilty to felony charges at the end of last month.

In a statement released shortly after his arrest, the actor said, "Obviously, I am embarrassed to find myself in this situation and I am profoundly grateful to everyone for their support."

"After this, I think there will be a concerted effort to convince Gary to get help —before he kills himself," said a CSI castmate at the time of arrest. I sure hope for the sake of his two children that he is going to some sort of rehab to clean himself up.

Scott Weiland Busted. AGAIN.

HerBadMother — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 23:02:00 GMT

Scott Weiland's been busted for DUI. Again.

According to TMZ: The Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver singer was driving on an L.A. highway around 6:15 PM on November 21 when he crashed his car. While the California Highway Patrol was investigating the non-injury wreck, they noticed Weiland appeared to be impaired... According to the police report, Weiland failed sobriety tests and refused to take a blood or urine test. He was booked for "driving under the influence of a drug. " He was released on $40,000 bail and will be back in court on December 13.

Wow, and I, like, totally believed him when he said that he was just a homespun family guy whose family life was 'just like the Cleavers.' Yeah, ha. This guy's been busted for crack possession and domestic violence and multiple DUI's. The Weilands probably have mugshots on the mantle instead of Sears Portraits. So a little bust-up on the highway and a failed sobriety test are probably nothin' to Scott.

Still, sucks. Hardly a good start to the holidays. Not as bad as death rumors, but not cheery. All the Weiland kids are gonna want for Christmas is for Daddy to get probation.
