Facebook seller’s meth habit was crystal-clear

A MISSOURI man has been arrested after an ad selling a catalytic convertor on social media grabbed the attention of astute police officers.

According to a Facebook post on the Stone County Sheriff’s Office page, the photo of the item for sale on Facebook’s Marketplace also had a large bag of methamphetamine and a syringe visible on the coffee table in the background.

“Take note, if you are selling items on social media, make sure your drugs are not in the background,” Sheriff Doug Rader advised Facebook users.

MELANIA Trump’s chief of staff when she was First Lady feared the President’s children would embarrass the US when they attended a state dinner with the Queen in London.

“We’re going to look like the Beverly Hillbillies,” Lindsay Reynolds told Donald Trump’s former press secretary Stephanie Grisham, according to her new book. In the book, Grisham also claims Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner tried to arrange a meeting with the Queen. The situation was only resolved when they couldn’t fit everyone in a presidential helicopter. The Beverly Hillbillies would have been preferable.

A BEAR named Otis has been voted champion chunk in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve’s fattest bear of the year contest. It’s Otis’s third win in a row. I thought fat-shaming was frowned on these days…

A DISGRACED Alabama sheriff removed from office after being convicted of theft has given a five-star review to the jail where he spent more than two weeks banged up.

This week ousted Limestone County Sheriff Mike Blakely maintained his innocence but said he had no complaints about doing time in the county jail in Athens.

It’s hardly surprising. He ran the place for decades.

POLICE officers who illegally confiscated a Connecticut man’s phone accidentally recorded themselves debating the best way to frame him. Michael Picard’s mobile was videoing at the time. He has since been awarded £37,000 after he brought a case against them – although an internal investigation cleared the troopers of wrongdoing.

THE Miami mansion of Al Capone, once earmarked to be demolished, has just sold for £11.4million.

Scarface bought the property for £29,000 in 1928. Hopefully the new owner won’t dwell on the fact that he died there in 1947 from a heart attack.

P.S.

ON my travels this week across Missouri, I drove through a rural town whose name made me laugh out loud – Tightwad.

It only got better as I passed by Tightwad Bank. I know a few people who should hold accounts there.
