Barrel Roll: Fleeing Ford Ranger Gets A High Speed PIT Maneuver
If you're thinking an old Ford Ranger sounds like a horrible vehicle to use in a police chase, you would be absolutely correct. After all, they're not exactly fast, their handling is anything but legendary, and let's face it, they're not the most durable thing on the road. But the suspect in this Georgia State Patrol dashcam video seems to take none of that into reason for the initial traffic stop was a simple one: the little truck was going 90 in a 70 mph zone. All this guy had to do was pull over and take the ticket. He didn't want to because there was far more going on. It wouldn't surprise us to learn the guy had his foot planted to the floor as the trooper has no problem keeping up. He accelerates slowly while faking taking an exit, but it's so obvious because the truck handles like it's on skis. At that point, even if you were clueless about how cars work, you'd realize the cop is keeping up no problem. And if you have a shred of intelligence, you would just pull over and give up. But this guy keeps pushing it as if by some miracle the Ranger will suddenly burst away. But that doesn't happen. Instead, the trooper gets into position and in no time does a PIT maneuver, sending the little truck into a high-speed barrel roll. This isn't the kind of vehicle we would want for a dangerous situation like that. To the shock of nobody, after this mess, the trooper suspected the driver had been drinking. When asked if that was true, out suspect reportedly said he had. It's almost like alcohol consumption often leads to poor choices.

Why is Rashee Rice's case being delayed?
On July 17, Vikings receiver Jordan Addison resolved a DUI citation by pleading guilty to a lesser misdemeanor charge, with no jail time. He'll miss the first three games of the regular season. On July 17, Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice pleaded guilty to a pair of felonies arising from a street racing crash that was caught on video, and that caused multiple injuries. He'll serve 30 days and spend five years on probation. And he'll be on the field for at least the first four games of the season, because his disciplinary hearing won't happen until September 30. It makes no sense. And it's making some wonder whether someone wants Rice to be available for a quartet of high-profile Kansas City games to start the season. From Week 1 against the Chargers in Brazil on YouTube to Week 2 against the Eagles at 4:25 p.m. ET on Fox to Week 3 against the Giants on NBC's Sunday Night Football to Week 4 against the Ravens at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS, Rice is now good to go. Given that his hearing will happen on Tuesday, September 30, he'll most likely be available for Week 5, a Monday night visit to Jacksonville on ESPN and ABC. As one league source observed, it usually doesn't work this way. With the player pleading guilty in the offseason, there's usually an urgency to finalize his discipline and have it begin before Week 1. 'Maybe I'm a conspiracy theorist,' the source said, 'but this is odd.' Added the source, 'You hardly ever see players get suspended in season unless they did something in season like a drug test or something.' Here, there's no dispute. Rice pleaded guilty. The question is only the extent of the punishment. Why didn't the league expedite the case? If all else fails, put him on paid leave until the case is resolved, and give him credit for the games he misses after the final punishment is issued. At a time when many think the league favors the Chiefs, situations like this will not become evidence to the contrary. If anything, it looks like the dominos have fallen in a way to ensure that Rice will be available for four, and likely five, high-profile games to be played on YouTube, CBS, NBC, Fox, and ESPN/ABC.

Albuquerque mother facing charges after child overdosed will stay in jail
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – An Albuquerque mother facing charges for her one-year-old overdosing on fentanyl will remain in custody until trial. Police said 40-year-old Isha Garcia was smoking meth and fentanyl with friends at the Days Inn on Candelaria Rd. last week. New Mexico man charged with 10th DWI following high-speed chase The child and a twin sibling were in a playpen when the child ingested a pill. A housekeeper used Narcan to revive the child, and the child survived. In court on Tuesday, prosecutors said Garcia is not likely to comply with any conditions of release based on her criminal history. 'Now we are all trying to take stock of how best to keep two kids safe when the defendant couldn't do that for them,' said prosecutor Daniel Fogg. Vanessa Chavez, another mother facing charges for the death of her daughter, was supposed to have her detention hearing this morning, but that was reset for two weeks to give the defense more time to prepare.
