HOUSTON — A prospective juror in a marijuana possession trial was hauled off to jail Tuesday after police said they caught her smoking a joint outside the courthouse.

Attorneys in the case had narrowed the jury pool down to 20 people when they took a 45 minute break.

When the break was over, 49-year-old Cornelia Turner Mayo didn't return to Judge Sherman Ross' courtroom. She was, herself, under arrest.

2.This GENTLEMAN:
Martin Turner had a fascination for workmen wearing big boots, a court was told. The 39-year-old, of Lord Street, Blackpool, Lancashire, pleaded guilty to four offences of harassment.

The former shop assistant harassed random workmen for three years in Britain's most bizarre stalking case. This resulted in him picking tradesmens' numbers at random from Yellow Pages and bombarding them with texts and calls. Turner would ring the workmen and plead with them to come round and stand on parts of his body with their boots, including his fingers, toes, and genitals.
