Man, 76, appears in court after children fell ill at summer camp
A 76-year-old man has been remanded in custody charged with child cruelty offences after children became unwell at a summer camp in Leicestershire. Jon Ruben, of Wayte Court in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, appeared in Leicester Magistrates' Court on Saturday morning charged with three counts of wilfully assaulting, ill-treating, neglecting, abandoning or exposing children in a manner likely to cause them unnecessary suffering or injury to health relating to three boys at the summer camp between July 25 and July 29. The court was told the charges relate to sweets which were allegedly laced with sedatives. Leicestershire Police received a report on Sunday that children at Stathern Lodge in Canal Lane, Stathern, had become ill. Eight children, all boys aged between eight and 11, and one adult were taken to hospital as a precaution but were discharged, police said. The defendant, who stood in the dock wearing a grey sweatshirt, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during the four-minute hearing. Ruben was told by chair of the magistrates Elizabeth Needham that he will appear at Leicester Crown Court on August 29.

Bucks police arrest seven drivers for drink and drug offences
Seven drivers were arrested for drink and drug offences in Milton Keynes in one night. Between the Roads Policing Unit and local policing teams, six drink drivers and one drug driver were caught in a three-hour period. Two of the drink drivers had been involved in "serious collisions," police said. A spokesperson for Thames Valley Police said: "Clearly something was in the air tonight in Milton Keynes. "Between RPU officers and our local policing colleagues from TVP Milton Keynes, we arrested six drink drivers and one drug driver in the space of around three hours. "Two of the drink drivers had been involved in serious collisions, where it is only by pure luck that they did not manage to kill themselves or innocent members of the public. "There is no excuse for it - if you are going to have a drink, make sure you have alternate plans to get home."
