BOSTON (Reuters) - An ex-stripper who became a regional sales director at Insys Therapeutics Inc gave a doctor a lap dance at a Chicago club as the drugmaker pushed the doctor to prescribe its addictive fentanyl spray, a former Insys employee testified on Tuesday.

Former Insys sales representative Holly Brown told jurors the incident with her boss, Sunrise Lee, took place after Insys began rewarding the doctor for prescribing its opioid product by paying him to speak at educational events about the drug.

I think the 'story' stinks to high heaven. She was off duty but met these two on duty cops at an apartment where they decided to play Russian roulette?

Lt. William Brown alleges in a disciplinary document that Officer Nathaniel Hendren "recklessly discharged a firearm resulting in the death of another officer," and that Hendren and his partner Patrick Riordan "consumed alcoholic beverages while on-duty," according to the document obtained by the Post-Dispatch.

Aren't the odds of losing at Russian Roulette like 50%? And even if you win, you're likely to spend a long time in prison.

I'm trying to figure the upside of playing. Got nothing.

That’s part of why I don’t believe any of it. Is that black eye explained yet?

A 'source' said he hit a window in a police car.

Hendren reportedly head-butted and broke the back window of a police SUV that was parked at the hospital, according to sources cited by the outlet. Hendren sustained minor head injuries and was then given a hospital bed where he remained until being taken into custody on Monday morning. A booking photo released by police shows the apparent results of that head-butting episode: a scratched forehead and black eye.

Talmage Newton IV is Hendren’s attorney in the criminal case. He offered condolences to Alix’s family in a statement released Monday.

“The death of Officer Katlyn Alix was a tragic accident that has unalterably impacted the lives of everyone involved,” Newton said. “I urge the public, as well as members of the police department, to wait until the investigation is complete, and all of the facts have been presented, before coming to any conclusions about what they believe happened that unfortunate morning.”

A tragic accident?

Even if the facts are as stated that was "an intentional act."

 

Recoil?

From the victim’s fist, maybe?

 

That seems ridiculous. Wouldn't there be a record of the plane landing? It's not like you can just sneak in to a major airport without identifying yourself to the tower. And then there should be a tail number or other identifying marks? Something's very fishy about this.

One thing has little to do with the other. The tower is only interested in something to identify you with for the time being and often it isn't even the aircraft's tail number. They don't need to know, and don't care, who owns the plane. They just want to be able to know that if they need to talk to the plane to the west that they can contact them by calling out "Bob 34".

But that's beside the point -- this aircraft has a registration number, namely "EC KRV", they even mentioned it in the article. But that may not be that helpful unless you can tell what nation it is registered in and then you have to hope that that nation has competent aircraft registry records administration -- and not all do. If not, you get to see if you can work your way through the paper trail of all the owners from the time the manufacturer originally sold it and all it takes is a single break in that trail and you may never figure out who actually owns it.

If they parked it in an out-of-the way place (and airports are big places) that wasn't causing a problem for airport operations, then it's very possible that everyone just assumed that it was some other guy's hanger queen and then it just becomes a familiar site with everyone occasionally wondering what will eventually become of it, but all assuming that someone else actually knows what's going on with it.

We had a BAC airliner (don't remember the model number) that sat at the regional airport right out in the middle of the tarmac for several years because the owner went bankrupt and, apparently because of a nightmarish twisty trail of ownership/leasing/loaning relationships, no one knew who ended up legally owning the plane. I never did learn what eventually happened, but it finally disappeared.

This is a very serious problem for many who do not feel comfortable with their lives.

Officially, the jogger is unidentified.

Well, seems I was wrong. Perusing for some Chuck Norris memes, I found this:
