A Dixie Carpetbagger

Found this post at Ace of Spades via USCitizen.  Now, the post is pretty standard– Charles Johnson (Little Green Footballs) is up to his old antics of building an echo chamber.  Now, I’m not gonna go into that too deep, except to say that Charlie has exiled more people from his blog than Stalin sent to the gulag.  Beyond that, go watch the trainwreck… I can’t look, it’s too painful to watch.

I want to point out comment #26 by Jim in San Diego.  He links to this article at The Smoking Gun.

Now, when I first began to read this article, I got to the second page before something clicked– Okaloosa County, Fort Walton Beach, Cantrell… holy sh*t I know this girl*.

Allow me to emphasize this: someone I know just made The Smoking Gun for cracking open a can of malt liquor in the back seat of a squad car.  I’m going to quote from the article, just for the giggles:

[A] stranded Cantrell asked Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Mitchell Landis for a ride home to her Fort Walton Beach residence. Landis agreed, but only after checking Cantrell’s purse for any contraband [...] While chauffeuring Cantrell, Landis heard the teenager “open a can of some sort” in the back of the cruiser. “As I looked at my in car video I observed Cantrell drinking out of an unknown can.” Landis stopped his car and, upon further investigation, determined that Cantrell had popped open a can of Steel Reserve, a malt liquor known for its high alcohol content. “When I opened the rear passenger door I observed Cantrell attempting to hide the can between her legs.

Please note the last word in the case report– Case Status: Closed.  You can not get any more “solved” than having a suspect crack open a beer in the squad car while on tape.  Now, for the mugshot:

Heh.  Heh-heh.  Ha… heh… ha-ha… mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaa… (deep breath)  MWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA…

* Please note: not “know” as in “I’m friends with” or “knew her in the Biblical sense.”  Though she is rockin’ those cuffs…
