DUI stop sends woman to jail on drug charges

Rome police stopped a motorist for suspicion of driving under the influence near the intersection of Myrtle Street and South Broad Street and reportedly found a pipe with suspected drugs.

According to Floyd County Jail reports:

Melissa Rene Luke, 38, of 800 N. Fifth Ave., was stopped after police watched her cross the center line of the road multiple times Friday night around 11 p.m. A glass pipe with suspected meth was recovered from her purse.

Luke was charged with felony possession of methamphetamine and misdemeanors for driving under the influence, improper lane change and possession of drug related objects.

Luke was being held in the jail without bond Saturday night.

MACON (AP) — A customer upset about a condiment ends up arrested.

The Telegraph reports 43-year-old Willie Drake, of Columbus, sat down at the counter of a Waffle House in Macon and placed an order. Three employees told police Drake asked for barbecue sauce, but was told they didn’t have any.

A Bibb County sheriff’s report notes the man then “began screaming obscenities and insulting” the workers, trying “to create conflict.”

He then reportedly added: “I’ll go to (expletive) jail over some barbecue sauce!”

And he did.
