A flight attendant has been arrested for allegedly smuggling $14.5 million worth of drugs into Australia from Malaysia as part of a Vietnamese crime ring.

The 38-year-old suspect reportedly hid the drugs on his body and in his luggage while working for Malindo Air, a subsidiary of Indonesian-based Lion Air. The crew member along with seven others have been arrested in and around the Melbourne area, police said in a statement on Wednesday.

Australian officials added that they seized more than 30 pounds of heroin, cocaine and methamphetamines in the drug bust along with a "significant" amount of cash, a Porsche Macan SUV and Mini Cooper car.

Since the arrest, the unnamed flight attendant has been immediately suspended pending his termination, Malindo Air said in a statement.

"Malindo Air stands ready to co-operate with all the relevant authorities be it in Australia or in Malaysia in this regard," it read.

The man was believed to be involved with a Melbourne-based Vietnamese crime syndicate, which smuggled drugs from Malaysia into various Australian cities. Victoria State police crime command assistant commissioner Tess Walsh said the illicit organization had been at work for a number of years.

"Intelligence would tell us that this crew has been operating for some years. I would say five plus," she said.

Police say they apprehended seven others in connection to the ring over the last 10 days: four men and four women between the ages of 28 and 55. Authorities also reportedly believe there could be more than one flight attendant operating as a "drug courier" involved, entering Australia predominantly through Melbourne and Sydney.

Australia is a big market for drug traffickers, particularly from southeast Asia. Methamphetamine remains the country's "drug of choice," according to a 2018 report, and residents are still consuming it at an "extraordinary" rate.

In light of these recent drug smuggling arrests, the Australian Border Force issued a warning to any airline staff bringing contraband aboard flights.

South Carolina Waffle house stayed open after truck crashes into it

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Waffle House restaurants are notorious for staying open no matter what. And one in South Carolina lived up to its reputation when it declined to shut its doors after a truck crashed through it early Thursday morning.

Police said 27-year-old Gregory Alexander Maxwell led officers on a high-speed chase around 2 a.m. Thursday, according to The State newspaper. Maxwell exited the highway and attempted to pull into a Waffle House parking lot but missed, crashing his truck into the side of the building instead, police said.

The crash left a gaping hole in the side of the Waffle House. Photos show dust and debris covering the restaurant's floor.

But despite damage to the restaurant's façade, the Waffle House, located near Columbia, South Carolina, remained open, according to local reports.

There were people inside the restaurant when the crash occurred who told WACH-TV they were grateful to have survived the incident. No injuries were reported.

Maxwell was arrested and charged with driving under the influence and failing to stop for police, according to The State.

The Georgia-based diner chain is renowned for its 24-hour, 365 days a year service. Aside from serving pancakes, the restaurant also provides an unofficial indicator of just how bad a storm will get for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
WAFFLE HOUSE CUSTOMER CONFRONTED BY POLICE OFFICERS FOR BRINGING LIVE SNAKE INTO RESTAURANT
"If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That's really bad," former FEMA administrator Craig Fugate has said.

Waffle House spokesman Pat Warner told Fox News in 2016 that while the chain does everything in its power to stay open, their "number one priority is the safety of our staff on the ground and our customers."

"We're a 24-hour restaurant, so oddly enough shutting down is a big deal for us," Warner said. "When it comes to making the final decision, we let our operations team on the ground, like individual restaurant managers, make the final decision based on local conditions. But our job [as corporate officials] is to give them all the support they need to stay open."

Kentucky driver seemingly tries to destroy snowman, surprised when they hit tree stump. #frostyskarma

A driver in Kentucky was in for a rude awakening after they seemingly tried to run over a snowman - only to hit the tree stump underneath.

Cody Lutz built the snowman over the weekend with family in Petersburg. He told Fox affiliate WXIX-TV he, his fiancée, and soon-to-be sister-in-law were playing in the snow when they decided to construct the large "Frosty."

"We were playing in the snow, she's from Mississippi so this is the most snow she's ever seen in her entire life. I'm from Buffalo so this is no big deal," Lutz said. "I love the snow!"

The trio used a tree stump as the base for Frosty, and covered the exposed bark with snow.

When Lutz returned home from work on Monday, he spotted tire tracks stretching throughout his yard to the base of the snowman

"Instant karma!" Lutz told the news station, adding that someone apparently tried to run over the 9-foot-tall snowman before hitting the tree.

He said the situation was "hilarious," and added that "what goes around comes around, in good ways and bad ways. So, I guess everyone learns a valuable lesson here from Frosty."

A teacher in Tennessee went on the run with a 15 year old student for weeks. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Tennessee teacher who was on the run for weeks with a 15-year-old student has been sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Tad Cummins broke down crying during sentencing in a Nashville courtroom Wednesday as he apologized to the victim and his own family.

A statement from the victim called the 52-year-old Cummins "disgusting" and said the effects of his actions on her were "devastating and permanent."

Prosecutors asked for a 30-year sentence after Cummins pleaded guilty to transporting a minor across state lines for sex and obstructing justice.

U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger said there were mitigating factors, including that Cummins had no criminal record and was unlikely to reoffend.

The girl's disappearance set off a national manhunt that ended when she was recovered in far Northern California in April 2017.

A best selling author claims that her husband has been poisoning her in the middle of their divorce.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tennessee authorities are investigating after Sherrilyn Kenyon, a best-selling fantasy author, accused her estranged husband of poisoning her.

Kenyon, known for her "Dark Hunter" series, said a recent medical test revealed she had high levels of lithium, tin, barium, platinum and thorium in her body, The Tennessean reported Tuesday. The chemicals caused hampered breathing, hair loss, broken teeth and nausea, she said.
TAD CUMMINS, TENNESSEE TEACHER CONVICTED IN TEEN'S STUDENT'S KIDNAPPING, SENTENCED TO DECADES IN PRISON
"[The doctor] said there's no way this could have happened naturally or environmentally," she told the newspaper.

Kenyon, 53, accused her estranged husband, Lawrence Kenyon, and his assistant, Kerrie Ann Plump, of giving her tainted food over the last three years, the newspaper reported. Kenyon believes her husband is trying to kill her in order for him to inherit her estate. The two are also in the middle of a divorce.

"I thought I had a happy marriage. Compared to what I was used to, he was awesome," Kenyon told The Tennessean. "No marriage is without problems, but it wasn't like my mother and father, where they threw furniture at each other."

Kenyon filed a civil lawsuit against her husband and assistant in Williamson County alleging assault by poisoning and other wrongful acts. She is asking for up to $20 million in damages, The Tennessean reported. The Willamson County Sheriff's Office also assigned a detective to look into her allegations.

Sean Aiello, Lawrence Kenyon's lawyer, dismissed the allegations, according to the Los Angeles Times.
