Pregnant woman allegedly took meth Casper Star-Tribune | Submitted by: samson "A felony child endangerment charge that has been filed against a woman who allegedly used methamphetamine while she was pregnant is apparently the first application of a state law that went into effect last summer... The law makes it a crime to 'knowingly and willfully cause or permit any child to... absorb, inhale or otherwise ingest any amount of methamphetamine.' However, the bill did not offer a definition of 'child.' A pre-existing definition in the same article defines a child, for the purposes of a different section, as a person under 16, but no definition of 'person' is offered. The charge has been filed against Michele Ann Foust, 31. After she gave birth Oct. 31, Lander police received a tip that Foust had used meth during her pregnancy, according to deputy county prosecutor Marsha Bean. 'Blood tests of the defendant and her child both came back positive,' said Bean." Read article...

Irony kills seatbelt law opponent Lincoln Journal Star | Submitted by: ringo "[Derek Kieper], a 21-year-old senior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, died early Tuesday morning when the Ford Explorer he was a passenger in travelled off an icy section of Interstate 80 and rolled several times in a ditch.
