Brit ‘drug mule' Charlotte Lee ‘washing by having glass of water tipped on her head' as grim new prison details revealed
ALLEGED drug mule Charlotte May Lee is washing by 'having a glass of water poured over her head' as grim new details about her life behind bars have been revealed. The Brit claimed that she didn't know she was smuggling £1.2million worth of the synthetic drug kush into Sri Lanka before she was detained - and called her allegations 'made up'. 9 9 9 Emotional Charlotte May, 21, was told she may not be sentenced for another 12 months - and will face at least 20 years in the 'hellish' Welikada Prison if convicted. Her pals believe she was besotted by a mystery man named Rocko - a key piece of information which could be crucial to her defence. She will plead 'not guilty' at the next court hearing, which could take place in a fortnight, mates said. Prosecutors will argue her experience as a stewardess with holiday airline TUI proves she, 'knew to check her luggage before a flight'. Charlotte had work done on her teeth, hair extensions fitted, and bought designer bags and trainers, before she headed from the UK to Thailand on holiday to hook up with mystery man Rocko. Her friends revealed that Charlotte is struggling behind bars after her arrest due to the shocking conditions. The part-time nail technician told friends she has not been allowed medication. And her cleaning regime consists of 'having a glass of water poured over her head'. A friend said: 'She is struggling. We're so scared for her. She is a mess.' She can only use her phone while on remand in jail in Colombo for 'emergency calls'. Brit 'drug smuggler' Bella Culley 'starving' in ex-Soviet hell prison - as she reveals pregnancy craving to celeb lawyer An unknown British man was waiting for Charlotte when she arrived on a flight to Colombo from Thailand last Monday. She was nicked when cops found a record amount of deadly super-strong synthetic cannabinoid kush. Fears have been growing that Charlotte's case could be linked to that of 18-year-old Bella May Culley, who was arrested in Georgia after allegedly being caught with a suitcase of cannabis. Student nurse Bella had also told loved ones she was meeting a man in the Philippines who had moved to the country from the North East during her travels. The backpacker's social media went on to show her clearly in the company of a male stranger - but he was never clearly pictured or named. Her grandad William Culley, 80, revealed last Wednesday that she appears to have spent most of March in Thailand but also spent time in the Philippines with a man called 'Ross or Russ'. Charlotte, of Chipstead in Surrey, claimed the drugs found in her suitcase were "planted" on her. She said she had "no idea" that there were drugs in her luggage when she left Bangkok. She claimed: "I had never seen them before. I didn't expect it all when they pulled me over at the airport. I thought it was going to be filled with all my stuff. 9 9 9 "I had been in Bangkok the night before and had already packed my clothes because my flight was really early. "So I left my bags in the hotel room and headed for the night out. As they were already packed I didn't check them again in the morning." The young Brit believes the huge amount of illegal substances were planted in her luggage in a planned move by dangerous dealers in Southeast Asia. And Charlotte said: "I know who did it." Kush, a highly addictive synthetic drug, has claimed the lives of thousands in West Africa where it first appeared in 2022 - and is spreading globally at an alarming rate. The dirt-cheap drug is cut with an array of additives including acetone, the opioid tramadol and formalin, a toxic chemical commonly used to preserve bodies in mortuaries. Why Brit backpackers are prime targets, Thai cop reveals By Patrick Harrington, Foreign News Reporter Police Lieutenant Colonel Arun Musikim, Deputy Inspector of the Surat Thani province police force, said: 'Cases involving British nationals smuggling cannabis have been around for a while. 'There is a lot of cannabis grown on Thailand's islands in the south because the climate is suitable and it is legal. A lot of gangs are attracted to this. 'There are now various smuggling methods that we have seen. Some carry it themselves, some hire backpackers, and some send it via mail. 'This year, there have been many cases we have intercepted. Most involve British and Malaysian nationals. 'It's easy for British citizens to travel as they can enter Thailand and return to the UK without needing a visa. 'Most of the smugglers are people hired to carry the cannabis, similar to how tourists might smuggle tax-free goods. 'They're usually unemployed individuals from the UK. The gangs offer them flights, pocket money and hotel stays, just to come and travel and take a bag back home with them. 'These people often have poor social standing at home and are looking for ways to earn quick money. They find them through friends or on social media. 'Many will go to festivals or parties while they are here, just like they are having a normal trip abroad. 'They are told that it is easy and they will not be caught. Then the amount the organisers can sell the cannabis for in the UK is much higher than it costs in Thailand. 'Police suspect that there are multiple employers and groups receiving the drugs on the other end. The cannabis then enters the UK market. 'We are being vigilant to ensure there are no routes out of the country.' It comes as a friend of Charlotte's revealed she is aware of the similar case of Bella Culley. However, the two youngsters have never met, and Charlotte "doesn't know if there is any connection" to her own ordeal. Shocking images published by customs officials in Sri Lanka show how drugs had been allegedly stuffed into Charlotte's luggage in large vacuum-sealed bags. Bella's alleged stash was also discovered in stacked, airtight packages pointing to a similar-style operation. And in another twist, the two had individually told their loved ones they planned on meeting a mystery man during their travels. Bella revealed to her family she was meeting an unknown man in the Philippines who had moved to the country from the North East. Sri Lanka's maximum security Welikada Prison is notoriously 'hellish', with 650 women in a ward designed for 150 cons. Riots have erupted due to poor conditions, including the sweltering heat.

‘Drug mule' Charlotte May Lee besotted by mystery man ‘Rocko' – as cops slam claim she ‘didn't know what was in luggage'

Do You Remember These 15 Nostalgic Cartoons?
I recently realized that many cartoons I grew up watching are now over 20 years old. While I ponder time flying, here are some you might remember watching if you're a Millennial or Gen Zer! 1. Ed, Edd n Eddy (1999–2008) was a top-tier Cartoon Network television series. 2. Dexter's Laboratory (1996–2003) is another gem from Cartoon Network's golden age. Cartoon Network 3. Batman: The Animated Series (1992–1995) changed the game for animated comic book adaptations. Fox Kids 4. Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994–1998) is very underrated. Fox Kids 5. CatDog (1998–2005) is a Nicktoon that should be talked about more often. Nickelodeon 6. Cow and Chicken 's theme song (1997–1999) is a massive earworm. Cartoon Network 7. Rocko's Modern Life (1993–1996) paved the way for SpongeBob SquarePants. Nickelodeon 8. Gargoyles (1994–1997) was Disney's answer to Batman: The Animated Series. ABC 9. X-Men: The Animated Series (1992–1997) was so good that it got revived as X-Men '97. Fox Kids 10. Similar to X-Men, Animaniacs (1993–1998) got a revival series in 2020. The WB 11. It's a crime Johnny Bravo (1997–2004) hasn't been given a revival series. Cartoon Network 12. Out of all of these cartoons, Recess (1997–2001) has one of the strongest ensembles of characters. Disney 13. The Wild Thornberrys (1998–2004) gets overshadowed by other Nicktoons, but I remember it being a fun watch. Nickelodeon 14. When it comes to '90s Nicktoons, Hey Arnold! (1996–2004) can only be matched by a certain one below... Nickelodeon 15. You honestly can't bring up nostalgic cartoons without bringing up Rugrats (1991–2003). It's the definitive '90s cartoon. Nickelodeon Which of these cartoons do you fondly remember the most?

Dog Loves Bungee Jumping, Owner Of Bungee-Jumping Dog Reports
BEND, OR—Pointing out how the 4-year-old Jack Russell terrier was already shaking with anticipation, avid bungee jumper Isaac Branch confirmed Thursday that his dog also loves bungee jumping. 'Rocko's obsessed with bungee jumping—he does it all the time!' said Branch, 25, who described the 15-pound canine as a 'total adrenaline junky' who gets so riled up by just the sight of the bungee harness that he often urinates all over the floor. 'Once we're on the bridge, he goes absolutely crazy with excitement and starts running [away from me] so fast. I can barely get him to hold still while I strap the GoPro to his little head, which he also loves. I think his favorite part is the free fall, because his muzzle pulls back into this huge, tight smile.' At press time, Branch had reportedly set up a GoFundMe for Rocko following an unsuccessful jump.
