"Your
personal life, your professional life, and your creative life are all
intertwined. I went through a few very difficult years where I felt
like a failure. But it was actually really important for me to go
through that. Struggle, for me, is the most inspirational thing in
the world at the end of the day--as long as you treat it that way."

Authorities
say a police officer who worked for the Bonifay Police Department,
located in the Florida panhandle, was arrested after allegedly
selling opioids out of his marked squad car while in uniform. Officer
Dwayne White was arrested while at the Bonifay Police Department by
agents from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. The FDLE began
its investigation of White last month after the Holmes County
Sheriff's Office referred their suspicions to them. Undercover agents
made a controlled purchase of opioid tablets from White while he was
in uniform in his marked squad car. White also allegedly used his
personal cell phone for sales. The officer was charged with selling a
controlled substance and unlawful use of a two-way communications
device. He is currently being held in the Walton County Jail.

WEIRD NEWS:
Authorities
say that a Canadian man wanted by police for skinny-dipping in a
shark-filled aquarium after assaulting a man hours earlier has been
arrested. 37-year-old David Weaver of Nelson, British Columbia, was
arrested Tuesday by Ontario Provincial Police in Thunder Bay, four
days after he shocked witnesses at Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada by
stripping down and jumping into its 766,000-gallon Dangerous Lagoon
shark tank, which also houses sea turtles, eels and tropical fish. A
police spokeswoman said that it was unclear why Weaver tempted fate
and jumped into the tank. Police said Weaver was also wanted in
connection to an assault outside a Medieval Times restaurant about
two hours before his “big splash” in the shark tank, as one
witness recalled. The witness said, “He appeared to be totally nude
and, like, laughing. I don’t know what would possess someone to do
that. It’s totally insane to me. I was scared I was going to
witness the death of this guy.” (https://goo.gl/QvjWRG)
MOMENT OF DUH:
A
Virginia woman is accused of giving her boyfriend’s 10-year-old son
an opiate addiction treatment medication so she could use his urine
to pass a drug test. The Roanoke Times reports 29-year-old Katie
Sowers Hinkley is charged with distributing a Schedule III drug to a
minor. Commonwealth’s Attorney Jason Annis and warrants say Hinkley
gave the boy Suboxone this month so she could provide his urine at
her drug screening. Annis says Hinkley wanted to renew her Suboxone
prescription and so needed urine that showed that drug but no illegal
substances. A search warrant says the boy became sick and told police
Hinkley had him take a pill and pee into a bottle. It’s unclear if
Hinkley has a lawyer. She says the relationship with her boyfriend
has since ended. (https://goo.gl/gKKWKj)
