No-dine in, please

                                      
You forgot to set your alarm last night, yet you awoke like clockwork. During the morning commute, you got all yellow traffic lights. The one o'clock across town was changed to a conference call, and the three fifteen was cancelled altogether. As you walk down the hall, you notice that the spot on the ceiling near the corner has been repaired. Your cell rings. You answer. "Steve, you need to call down to the garage...".
Just two days before Christmas, illegal drugs were found inside Mobile County Commissioner Steve Nodine' s county - issued vehicle, according to Sheriff Sam Cochran. Nodine apparently left his vehicle at the county maintenance department to be serviced where marijuana was found by an employee. "I've been informed by the Sheriff's office that a small pill bottle containing a substance believed to be marijuana was found in my county vehicle...", the Commissioner explained in a released statement. He continues, "I want to be clear that I did not possess marijuana, nor did I use any marijuana, found in this vehicle. ".  Later that night, Nodine added that he volunteered to take a blood and urine test when he was informed and believed there was some sort of  "political motive" attached. Nodine has not been charged.

  1. That is suggestive but not substantial. Nothing has been proven, however, Sheriff Cochran announced that there would be a full investigation a few days after the story broke.
