Police say they’ve arrested a man several days after a complaint someone was spotted crawling under library tables and smelling a woman’s feet at a Florida International University. Campus police had previously released a notice warning students that a man was spotted under a table at a campus library Aug. 29, along with a description and photo. Authorities say a man matching that description was spotted Tuesday on a scooter miles from the campus. Officers attempted a traffic stop, but say the man fled, eventually crashed and was arrested. 52 year old Eddy Juan was arrested and charged with violation of sexual offender registration, fleeing and eluding, reckless driving, aggravated assault and resisting without violence.
A New York City bus driver named Alexander Copeland was arrested Sunday for allegedly taking a drunken joyride down Long Island’s Northern State Parkway. Copeland was off-duty at the time and was not authorized to be driving the bus at all, much less driving it hammered. Police stopped Copeland near exit 32, in Westbury, after several drivers made 911 calls about his erratic driving. A Transit spokesperson said that the bus was taken from somewhere near the MTA bus depot in Queens, where Copeland works, and which sits 15 miles west of the spot where he was stopped. Copeland blew a .20 blood-alcohol content reading before the arrest—more than twice the legal limit—according to the police.
