The D.A. Of The Day - 1/18/16



FOOSBALL SMUGGLER GETS THE JOINT:



A Canadian woman has been kicked out of the United States after she tried to smuggle more than 50 pounds of marijuana over the border -- inside a foosball table. 

U.S. Customs and Border officials say the woman was stopped at the border crossing near Niagara Falls, New York. She told agents she was driving into the U.S. to buy Powerball tickets, but officers searched her van, and drug-sniffing dogs alerted them to something wacky inside the game table. A panel was removed from the table, revealing 50 vacuum-packed bags containing weed. 

She was arrested and handed over to New York State Police.

BAD NEIGHBOR POLICY


A Florida man had no de-fence when cops came to arrest him for hopping his neighbor's fence -- then breaking into the man's home, drinking all his booze and trashing his backyard with empty booze bottles.

Donald Rowan Junior was busted after his neighbor called cops to report that his patio door had been smashed in, and his liquor cabinet raided -- with a trail of empty bottles left in the yard, leading to his home. When officers arrived on the scene, they found Rowan passed out in a chair, covered in blood -- which later turned out to be a match for blood left on the broken door.

Rowan's mother didn't help his case, telling investigators her son had climbed over the fence earlier that day,  drunk, sweating profusely and acting strangely. While deputies were in the middle of their questioning, Rowan tried to hide a bottle of tequila -- which the victim identified as one of his own.

SHE'S GOT A LOTTO POWERBALLS


A Tennessee woman who claims she lost all her savings buying Powerball tickets just showed that she's got a pretty powerful set of her own -- by setting up a GoFundMe page to beg folks to reimburse her.

Cinnamon Nicole, who lives in the town of Cordova, says she was positive she'd come out a winner in the $1.5 billion drawing, so she cleared out her bank account and went all in -- and went totally broke. Cinnamon came up with a solution to her money woes in just 24 hours, though, and decided to ask strangers to donate cash -- so she could go out and buy more tickets for the next drawing.

She wrote, "We're now in dire need of cash. With your small donation of at least $1.00, a like and one share, I’m certain that we will be able to pick ourselves up from the trenches of this lost and spend another fortune trying to hit it big again!" Though Cinnamon got her share of nasty responses, she also racked up $800 in donations -- before GoFundMe shut down her page.
