In New York City, you just never know who your neighborhood drug dealer might be. It’s tough making an honest living in the city that never sleeps, but some people will do just about anything to get by. This week, a Papa John’s delivery man was arrested for selling more than $40,000 in cocaine hidden in pizza boxes to undercover police officers he met near his home and outside the Brooklyn restaurant where he works.

Ramon Rodriguez, 45, was charged Wednesday with multiple counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance and one count of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Prosecutors say Rodriguez allegedly sold cocaine to undercover officers 19 times since the fall of 2011, often dressed in his work clothes to blend in.

Andrew Welden (right) and his once-pregnant girlfriend.

28 year-old John Andrew Welden was indicted on one count first degree murder Tuesday in Florida after allegedly tricking his girlfriend into aborting their child. Tampa Bay Times reports that the crime took place in March after an ultrasound performed by the accused’s father, Dr. Stephen Ward Welden, confirmed the pregnancy.

John Welden then forged his father’s signature on a prescription for Cytotec, an FDA approved drug known to cause uterine contractions resulting in spontaneous miscarriage, and relabeled the bottle as “Amoxicillin.” Welden’s girlfriend, 26-year-old Remee Lee, took the medication thinking it was an antibiotic meant to cure a supposed bacterial infection in her blood.

New York City Council Speaker and Mayoral Democratic candidate Christie Quinn has opened up to the public and revealed her past battles with bulimia and alcoholism.

As the first openly gay person to be running for New York City Mayor, Quinn is extraordinarily brave. She is a shining example of a person who rebuilt themselves and rose above a position of dependence to a position of leadership and example. Quinn told the Times that the reason she came forth about this skeleton in her closet is because, “I just want people to know you can get through stuff. I hope people can see that in what my life has been and where it is going.”

DUI Laws May Call for a Lower “Legal” Blood Alcohol Content

Every year, thousands of people get killed or injured as a result of drivers who have been drinking but are not considered legally drunk. On Tuesday, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), an investigative agency that advocates on behalf of safety issues, convened to discuss suggesting that all states reduce the legal blood-alcohol concentration (BAC), the percentage of alcohol by volume in one’s blood, by more than a third.

Currently, the national limit for a driver’s BAC must not exceed .08%, a standard established a decade ago. Though some states have pushed for stricter DUI laws, the NTSB has taken this a step further. Their newest proposal discussed targeting social and casual drinkers by changing the national BAC limit to .05%.

I-502 was just the beginning, folks. On Saturday, local marijuana activists participated in the annual Cannabis Freedom March, a worldwide rally to end marijuana prohibition.

This year’s March from Volunteer Park to Westlake Center downtown featured a funeral procession led by a hearse. Sharon Whitson, one of the organizers of Hempfest, came up with the idea while smoking a joint with a friend. Though Whitson saw the passing of Initiative 502 last November as a momentous victory for the pro-weed camp, she admits that prohibition, while certainly on its deathbed, is still hanging on.
