A Tempe housewife was arrested early Monday morning after her husband complained that she wouldn't stop talking. Alyanna Allah, 38, was taken into custody on suspicion of disorderly conduct, officers said.
The couple had "live-in" guests in their apartments, according to Tempe police spokesman Mike Horn. The wife wanted the guests to move out, according to Horn. The husband did not want to get involved, officers said. The wife started making threats. Her voice was so loud, the next-door neighbors heard her threats of violence, Horn said. Her husband told police his wife's constant talking and threats of physical harm lasted two days, and kept him from getting any sleep, officers said.

Her picture reminds me of one of the defense attorneys on Law and Order. And the situation brings the old Coasters song to mind-- "Yakety Yak. Don't talk Back!"
NewsChannel 11 Reporter Released On Bond
Amarillo, TX - While conducting an undercover investigation testing hospital security, Amarillo police arrested NewsChannel 11's Investigative Reporter, Cecelia Jones, at Baptist St. Anthony's Health System. Amarillo police have now charged Cecelia with two counts of attempted aggravated kidnapping. She is out of jail and back in Lubbock.
In the wake of the recent abduction of baby Mychael Darthard-Dawodu from Covenant Lakeside, Cecelia planned a report and went up to Amarillo to test hospital security there. She planned this undercover investigation with station management and consulted with legal council. The plan for the investigation had her mirror the profile of the accused abductor in Lubbock's recent kidnapping case.
As if the baby unit nurses, aides, Dr. and tecs don't have enough to worry about, now they have ambitious reporters stalking the halls trying to snatch little babies under their care. jeebus for fame and fortune no less.

This is yet another black eye for Lubbock in the national media.
I think it is a conspiracy organized by radical DixieChickistas.
I can't figure out, though, how they persuaded Mayor David Miller to make an ass of himself by repeatedly trying to turn City Council meetings into prayer vigils, or police chief Claude Jones to arrest the Chippendale dancers, or city traffic engineer Jere Hart to persist with the nations's worst red lights, or Councilman Gary Boren to interfere with city personnel matters (thereby forcing his recent resignation), or Cecelia Jones to pull this stunt.
It must be some sort of mind-control technology provided by Chickista collaborators in Oklahoma or some other enemy country. It's them Evil-oo-shunists, or maybe devil-worshipping science cults, I tell you.
For more on the continuing saga of Lubbock's mysterious epidemic of high-profile stupidity, see Pratt on Texas.
Btw, I've mentioned a couple of times on Rantburg that I served a term as mayor of a town in Texas. IT WASN'T LUBBOCK! (And I might deny it if it had been).

For crissakes, Cecelia, it's not even a sweeps month.
Coming up next: "Cecelia Jones Investigates: Up Close and Personal with the Texas Justice System"...

AC - What, no grief for the cops, who've taken what should have been, at most, a trespassing charge and turned it into aggravated kidnapping? Seems they're the real idiots here.
#6
Up Close and Personal with the Texas Justice System"... LOL!
Angie, that was my first thought as well. But I can't help feeling it serves her right. It is not really a story to show that you can walk into a maternity ward unnoticed. In order to prove her point that security was poor she would have to have been able to walk out with a baby to prove her point. Additionally, airing an episode like that would have been instructive to potential kidnappers.
They probably wanted to charge her with felony stupidity and since that's not possible....
More than 70 Nigerians were burnt to death when a tanker truck caught fire while they were gathering fuel that was spilling out of it, police in northern Kaduna state said on Wednesday. Crowds of local villagers had gathered with buckets and jerry cans after the truck carrying 33,000 litres of fuel went out of control and crashed onto its side. The victims were buried in a mass grave hours after the disaster. The accident happened on Monday evening. About an hour after the crash petrol started oozing out of the tanker so the local villagers decided to scoop. More than 70 lives were lost, said Kaduna state police spokesman Saad Yahaya. He said the driver of the truck had tried to warn the villagers about the danger of getting close to the tanker but they had ignored his advice. Such tragedies are common in Nigeria, where poverty and recurrent fuel shortages make the lure of free petrol irresistible to many.
