On a serious note, that is awful, horrible, and disturbing news. Poor woman.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/news/nation ... 3AfacebookA serious issue nevertheless prompted some online ridicule after South Dakota released a new anti-meth awareness campaign featuring a wide variety of people declaring, “I’m on meth.”
On Monday, Governor Kristi Noem said her Department of Social Services had launched the “largest and most aggressive meth campaign that our state has seen or done before.” The campaign, which reportedly cost the state nearly half a million dollars, includes a TV ad, billboards, posters, and a website: onmeth.com.
The campaign’s slogan — “Meth. We’re on it” — is also seen superimposed over the state outline on the campaign’s website.
In a 30-second video posted to YouTube by the campaign, dramatic piano music accompanies a cast of South Dakotans declaring, “I’m on meth.” A narrator then says, “Meth is not someone else’s problem. It’s everyone in South Dakota’s problem, and we need everyone to get on it.”
Despite the seriousness of the issue, many mocked the new motto online. One Twitter user posted: “Surprising anti-meth campaign in South Dakota. With the theme ‘Meth. I’m on it,’ what could go wrong?”

Police who pulled over a man in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, were flummoxed when they tried to run his license plates only to discover they were made out of recycled Hamm's beer boxes.
CBS Local reported that the incident happened on November 15, when officer Scott Schoenwetter observed a car swerving wildly. He turned on his lights, and the driver pulled to the side of the road. Upon exiting the vehicle, the officer gave the man, identified as 27-year-old Nicholas Layton, a field sobriety test, which he failed.
Schoenwetter ran the man's ID and saw that he had three previous DUI offenses. He then ran the car's license plate number, only to discover it was not registered to the vehicle. He called the owner of the car the plates were registered to, only to be told that nothing was amiss with their vehicle.
Looking closer, the officer removed the plates and found they had been painted by hand on rectangular pieces of cardboard cut out of Hamm's beer boxes.

We’re right about half the time.
Steve Braithwaite spotted the flashing blue-and-red police lights - and promptly pulled his banana off the road.
Braithwaite, 59, has spent the past two years driving his homemade, banana-shaped convertible across America, offering pay-what-you-can rides to fund his days and sleeping nights on strangers' couches or in cheap motels. He's become quite familiar with the police: Officers often pull him over, friendly but curious, and ask what on earth he's doing.
So when he saw the state trooper ease onto the road behind him as he was driving down U.S. 223 near Adrian, Michigan, on Oct. 27, Braithwaite thought he knew what was coming.
Braithwaite also explained his banana road trip, which he calls "The World Needs More Whimsy Grand Tour." The trooper took Braithwaite's license and walked away. When he returned, he handed the license back - but something was different. "He had wrapped 20 bucks around it!," Braithwaite said. "[Then] he just said, 'Safe travels.'"
“If everyone fought for their own convictions there would be no war.” The seizure occurred Thursday after 9 a.m. at the Bridge of the Americas international crossing in El Paso, Texas where agents stopped a Chevrolet pickup with a Texas license plate that was entering from Mexico, officials said. When the officer asked the man what he was bringing in from Mexico, the driver said he had frozen rolls of turkey ham.
The vehicle was inspected a second time and agents then discovered 14 rolls of Mexican bologna weighing about 154 pounds behind the rear seat of the truck, officials said.
Bologna importation is prohibited because it is made from pork, which could introduce foreign animal diseases to the U.S. industry.

Hunter William Mignone was born to Alyssa Sughrue around 5:30 a.m. Thursday at the Concord Rotary on Route 2, said Leah Lesser, a spokeswoman for Emerson Hospital. The mother’s water broke about 30 minutes before at her home in Tyngsborough.
“I could tell [the baby] wasn’t going to wait, so he started to crown, so I yelled at my boyfriend to pull over,” Sughrue said. “I told him to stop on the rotary, which probably wasn’t the safest thing. He pulled into a prison parking lot and ran to get some help. I ended up just having the baby and pulling him out.”
MCI-Concord is located at the rotary.
