A
Georgia man charged last month with trying to trade meth to an
undercover officer for a gun to use to kill his ex-wife has been
indicted in federal court on drug and firearms charges. 56-year-old
Charles Henry Skibbe is charged in a three-count U.S. District Court
indictment accusing him of distributing a mixture or substance
containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine, being a convicted
felon in possession of a firearm, and possessing a firearm in
furtherance of a drug trafficking crime. Skibbe, of Catoosa County,
Georgia, was initially arrested by Dunlap, Tennessee, police after a
drug investigation led to a discussion about trading drugs for a
weapon. Last month, Dunlap Police Department Chief Clint Huth said
Skibbe was suspected of distributing meth in the Dunlap area. During
the investigation, Huth said authorities learned Skibbe, a convicted
felon, was also trying to buy a handgun. Skibbe allegedly told an
uncover officer "he wanted the weapon to murder his ex-wife and
her friend.” The undercover officer arranged to meet Skibbe in
Dunlap so the suspect could purchase a .40-caliber pistol.

FUN FACT FOR YOU:
Share this with your friends... they'll think you're really smart!
The first black surgeon to do open heart surgery was Dr. Daniel Hale Williams. In 1893, he saved a man who was knifed by opening his chest and sewing together the wound, which was only a fraction of an inch from his heart. He was one of the first to do this. He accomplished this without any modern medical devices, such as x-rays.

Police report that a week after paying $8 million for a private island in the Florida Keys, a real estate developer was arrested for stealing $300 in merchandise from a department store. 59-year-old Andrew Lippi was busted Saturday on a felony grand theft rap for allegedly swiping coffeemakers, linen, and light bulbs from a Kmart in Key West. According to a Key West Police Department report, Lippi purchased the household goods and then returned the items to Kmart, where employees discovered that the boxes no longer contained the new items.
Lippi was collared Saturday evening at Kmart and charged with grand larceny. He was nabbed shortly after returning a $27.99 bed skirt that he bought earlier in the day. However, police reported, “the bed skirt had been replaced by a pillow case.” Lippi was booked into the Monroe County Detention Center, from which he was freed the following morning without bond. His bust came days after he closed on the $8 million purchase of Thompson Island, a gated island adjacent to Key West. (https://bit.ly/2P7z3tD)

Officials
in Connecticut said a “poor decision” was made when 24 gallons of
gasoline was poured on a baseball field on Saturday and set on fire
to “dry the field quicker.” According to town officials, the
Ridgefield High school baseball game was delayed due to wet field
conditions on Saturday. Officials posted a statement on Facebook,
which read: “A poor decision was made to “dry the field quicker”
and 24 gallons of gasoline was poured and set on fire. Thanks to our
Certified Spill Response Team for their incredible help. No one was
injured and no one is in danger.” Ridgefield Police are looking
into the, quote, “decision” to pour gasoline on the field. The
field will likely remain closed for a week while investigators
complete the investigation. (https://bit.ly/2Z1wzkP)
