The Maine authorities have recently been confronted with arguably one of the most bizarre DUI arrests in history. Following a traffic stop, a 31-year-old driver was taken into custody after two bags with white powder were found in his car. As it turns out to be, the bags did not contain heroin, as previously thought, but his grandfather’s cremated remains.

On Saturday, 31-year-old Jesse Legendre was taken into custody and charged with driving under influence and drug possession following a traffic stop on a Maine road.

According to the authorities, Legendre was flagged down by a traffic monitor for erratically driving his vehicle.

After being ordered to stop the vehicle, Legendre lost control of his vehicle, swerved, and hit an electric pole. The paramedics later arrived and treated the driver for non-life-threatening injuries.

Meanwhile, the authorities decided to charged Legendre on an additional count of drug possession, after a search of his vehicle revealed two small plastic bags which contained a powdery, heroin-like substance.

Several days later, the toxicology report compelled the authorities to drop the drug possession charge, as the lab analysis revealed that the powdery substance was actually cremated human remains.

Upon interviewing the suspect, the authorities learned that the vehicle Legendre was driving belonged to his friend, 57-year-old Kevin Curtis.

The car’s owner told the police officers that he just returned from his sister in Florida where he went to pick up his father’s ashes. Since he was waiting for the urn to come home, Curtis ‘forgot’ the ash bags inside the vehicle he later loaned to Legendre.

Although the drug possession charges were dropped, Legendre, the DUI arrest suspect, is still expected in court to answer for other charges that include operating a vehicle after habitual offender revocation, DUI, and tampering with evidence.

Last week, the New Jersey authorities arrested a 32-year-old state trooper who allegedly stopped two female drivers to get their phone numbers.

Based on the State Attorney General’s report, 32-year-old Eric Richardson, a volunteer coach, and a state trooper, frequently abused his position in order to seek relationships with two unknown female drivers.

Following Richardson’s indictment, the New Jersey state trooper has been barred from duty, and his entire activity scrutinized.

According to the official police report, in December 2016, while Richardson was on patrol in Gloucester Township, the state trooper flagged down a female driver and asked for her phone number. Furthermore, after the woman wrote down her number, Richardson allowed her to leave despite the female driver having an active arrest warrant for driving with a suspended license.

The woman also told the authorities that the state trooper took out his handcuffs and threatened to take her into custody if she refused to give him her phone number.

This wasn’t the first time Richardson abused his position to get dates. The authorities discovered that earlier that year, in November, the New Jersey state trooper pulled over a female driver for the same reason.

Despite the woman telling him that she’s in a relationship, Richardson persisted and ultimately got what he wanted. More than that, the police officer let the woman go although she was driving on driving on an expired permit.

Interestingly enough, the New Jersey state trooper would stop the same driver a second time to ask her if she changed her phone number and if she got her texts.
