California lawmaker running for Congress is arrested for drunk driving

[ad_1]

Min was pulled over near the state Capitol by the California Highway Patrol when he drove through a red light with his headlights off, according to the arrest report.
Officers conducted a DUI test and arrested him on suspicion of driving with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit. He was booked into the Sacramento County jail and released Wednesday.
Min, who is running for the seat held by Democratic Rep. Katie Porter, apologized for the incident.
“To my family, constituents and supporters, I am so deeply sorry. I know I need to do better,” he said. “I will not let this personal failure distract from our work in California and in Washington.”
Min is running to replace outgoing Porter in an Orange County district that will be one of the most competitive seats in the 2024 cycle. Porter narrowly defended the 47th Congressional District in 2022 but has given up the seat to run for Senate and endorsed Min as her successor.
Min has secured some key endorsements and raised more than $520,000 in the first quarter of 2023 as Democrats look to defend a seat that could be key to reclaiming the House.
Min is not the only Democrat in the race: He’s contending against Women for American Values and Ethics founder Joanna Weiss. Former Rep. Harley Rouda dropped out of the contest in April.
Lara Korte contributed to this report.

CORRECTION: A previous version misstated former Rep. Harley Rouda’s intention to run in the race for the same seat.

Drunk Indian passenger urinates on co-passenger on New York-Delhi flight

[ad_1]
New Delhi: An allegedly inebriated Indian passenger, travelling on a New York-Delhi American Airlines flight, reportedly relieved himself on another passenger on board the flight, sources said.
A senior police officer said that legal action has been taken for non-cognisable offences under the civil aircraft rules.
“We have initiated action after receiving a complaint from the airline staff about the unruly behaviour of one passenger. However, there is no coraborative evidence or complaint given by the co-passengers regarding someone peeing on them yet,” the officer said.

According to sources, the accused passenger, who was reportedly under the influence of alcohol, got engaged in an argument with a co-passenger on board American Airlines flight AA 292 and urinated on him.
After the plane landed at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport at around 9 p.m. on Sunday, the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) apprehended the alleged ‘unruly’ passenger.
More details are awaited.
On November 26 last year, an intoxicated man had reportedly urinated on a female co-passenger in her seventies while on a business class Air India flight from New York to Delhi. The incident had made national headlines.
Another incident occurred on December 6, 2022, in an Air India flight from Paris to New Delhi in which a male passenger allegedly relieved himself on a vacant seat and blanket belonging to a female passenger while she was using the lavatory.

Drunk Teacher Triggers School Lockdown In JK Village

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: A government primary school in Jammu and Kashmir’s Doda was locked down by the residents of Chanti village after a teacher was discovered drunk during school hours. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, was captured on video and circulated on social media, prompting officials to launch an investigation against the accused teacher, Bikram Singh. According to villagers, Singh had asked students to bring him a glass so that he could consume alcohol inside the school premises. When confronted by the villagers, Singh caused a commotion in his inebriated state, as per Gajoth Panchayat Devinder Kotwal, the village head.
“The accused teacher had a few more bottles of alcohol in his possession,” said village head. “He has repeated this behavior in the past and has been warned by the education department. It is essential to deal with this alcoholic teacher strictly to ensure the safety of the students,” Kotwal added. The Additional Deputy Commissioner of Bhaderwah, Dilmir Chowdhary, commented that carrying liquor to the workplace and being inebriated is not an ideal behaviour for a government official, especially a teacher. After receiving a written complaint from the villagers, the police have taken note of the situation.
ASP Bhadarwah Kameshwar Puri has confirmed that a complaint has been registered regarding the incident and action will be taken in accordance with the law. Meanwhile, Additional Deputy Commissioner Chowdhary has stated that if the individual in the social media video is indeed a teacher, they will be subjected to a thorough investigation and will face severe consequences. The authorities have initiated an inquiry into the matter.
