A
51-year-old man has been arrested for allegedly spiking his date’s
drink as she used a restaurant bathroom. Peel Regional Police said
51-year-old Tariq Nawaz dined with an unnamed woman at the eatery in
Mississauga, Ontario on October 21st. After the woman left to go to
the bathroom, police allege a waitress saw Nawaz spike her drink. The
waitress told the woman about the alleged incident. Police claim
Nawaz then fled the restaurant in his 2016 Porsche with personalized
number plates. Peel Regional Police have since arrested Nawaz and
charged him with administering a noxious substance and breach of
recognizance. Nawaz has since been released, though he is set to
appear in court on January 8th. (https://yhoo.it/2Io3SLE)

WEIRD NEWS: Brought to you by WeirdGiftOfTheDay.com
How’s this for a parenting lesson? An elementary school in France had to ban late-arriving parents from hurling their kids over its closed gate when dropping them off. Principal Sanaa Meziane explained that some tardy moms and dads “were literally throwing their children” over the six-foot fence outside the Trillade school in Avignon. “It hasn’t happened that many times, but as little as it happened, we preferred to get ahead of it,” Meziane said, adding she believed it was just a matter of time before a child was hurt. Educators put up posters at the school’s entrance depicting an adult throwing a kid over a fence with the words “Attention Danger.” “I do not throw my children over the gate!” the notice reads. The sign also includes instructions to parents who arrive after the 8:30 a.m. bell to come back at 10:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. when the gates are reopened.(https://bit.ly/32D0h2V)
MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by TimeForRehab.com
The
Wisconsin State Patrol had some advice for a guy who tried to
transport a snowmobile by strapping it to the roof of his car: Bad
idea. A trooper pulled over the driver on Highway 63 in northwestern
Wisconsin on Sunday afternoon after seeing the snowmobile perched
sideways on top of a Toyota Corolla. The Wisconsin Department of
Transportation tweeted a photo of the car with the Polaris topper
with the message: “Folks, don't try this at home.” The
23-year-old driver was given a warning about the unsafe hauling
technique and cited for failing to buckle up. The driver, Matthew
Schmit, of Clayton, told the trooper he had just bought the
snowmobile and was driving it over to a friend’s house. “I know
it looks sketchy, but we had it strapped down and shook it,” he
said.(https://fxn.ws/3njJSsl)
