Suspect: Marijuana 'how I make my money'

MCDONOUGH, Ga. (UPI) -- A Georgia man accused of possessing marijuana with the intent to distribute it allegedly told police the drug was "how I make my money."

An attorney for Cody Matthew Kinney, 21, of McDonough unsuccessfully challenged his client's arrest during a preliminary hearing Monday in Henry County Magistrate Court and the case has now been sent to county Superior Court, the Clayton (Ga.) News Daily reported Tuesday.

County police officer Anthony Militello said at the hearing he responded to the Dec. 17 call about a pair of suspicious people and discovered Kinney and another man in the woods with a four-wheeler they claimed to be repairing.

Militello said he saw what appeared to be a handgun and smelled marijuana. He said he asked Kinney if he had been smoking the substance and the suspect "answered, 'Yes.'"

"The handgun turned out to be a BB gun ... . He threw something in the woods," Militello said. He said he found a plastic bag with suspected marijuana inside on Kinney's person and asked him what the substance was.

"He replied, 'That's how I make my money,'" Militello said.

The man who was with Kinney was not arrested.

Kinney is free on $3,000 bond.

Woman brings monkey to courthouse

AMHERST, Va. (UPI) -- Deputies and officials in Virginia said they were surprised to discover a woman visiting a courthouse was carrying an infant monkey in her bra.

Amherst County sheriff's deputies and Commonwealth Attorney Stephanie Maddox said the woman, who was at the Amherst County Courthouse Thursday morning for a Juvenile and Domestic Relations court hearing, was filling out paperwork in an office when she made a reference to being accompanied by her "daughter," The (Lynchburg) News & Advance reported Monday.

The official asked the woman, whose name was not released, about the location of the child and she produced the tiny marmoset, which was dressed in a diaper and a custom-made dress, from her bra.

"You couldn't make up something like this," Maddox said.

The woman said the monkey is only 7 weeks old and requires constant attention. She said she bought the monkey on eBay.

Deputies said the woman was allowed to go about her business at the courthouse and they did not say whether there was anything unlawful about her being accompanied by the tiny primate.

Stall doors removed to stop graffiti

MARION, Mont. (UPI) -- The principal of a Montana elementary school said he tackled a bathroom graffiti problem by removing the doors on all but one stall in each bathroom.

Principal Justin Barnes of the Marion School in Marion said he tried several tactics to halt profane graffiti in the bathrooms, but nothing worked until he had the doors removed from all but one stall in each restroom, the Kalispell Daily Inter Lake reported Monday.

Barnes said the doors were put back in place March 7, two weeks after they were removed and one week after the last new graffiti was discovered.

However, several parents complained about the measure at last Wednesday school board meeting, saying the move violated their children's right to privacy.

Parent Trina Huffman said the "extreme measure to combat graffiti (was) unacceptable." She said taking the doors from the stalls was a "gross infringement of children's rights."

Barnes conceded he could have done more to alert parents about the move, but he said the doors will be removed again if graffiti reappears.

"We don't have the time, money or resources to have everybody in there sandpapering every day," he said. "We've checked into every legal aspect of it. It's not against the law. By doing this, we sent a message to the kids. We haven't had any graffiti for over two weeks now."

Out-of-work man wins $650 in steaks

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. (UPI) -- An unemployed California father of three said winning weekly steak dinners from the Sizzler restaurant chain for a year will be a big help to his family.

David Jimenez of Rancho Cucamonga, who was laid off from his job selling and installing automatic doors in 2009, said the $650 worth of Sizzler food -- amounting to about one steak a week for 52 weeks -- he won in the "Free Steak for a Year Sweep-steaks" could not have come at a better time, The San Bernardino Sun reported Monday.

"Once a week you go out and eat with the family instead of eating at home, it helps out a lot," Jimenez said. "A good steak won't hurt nobody."

Jimenez, who has three elementary school-age children, said he is on the road to a new career after recently obtaining his real estate license.

"It's a new beginning for me," Jimenez said. "I'm on to bigger and better things. When you think positive, positive things will happen. At first, I was all negative. That's why nothing was happening for me."
