The mayor of a small upstate New York village was arrested Tuesday for allegedly possessing crack cocaine, cops said.<\/p>\n
Massena Mayor Tim Currier was busted after a brief police pursuit through the village near the Canadian border at about 12:25 p.m., according to authorities.<\/p>\n
Currier, 55, was targeted as part of an undercover investigation of drug sales and possession, the St. Lawrence County Sheriff\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n
As Currier was fleeing police, he is accused of chucking one gram of crack out a passenger window.<\/p>\n
He was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance, tampering with physical evidence, and failure to comply with a police officer.<\/p>\n
The mayor was arraigned remotely on Tuesday and ordered by Morristown Town Justice James Phillips to reappear at a later date.<\/p>\n
Currier has been Massena\u2019s mayor since 2014. Before that, he was chief of the Massena Police Department.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Man loses license for driving under the influence … of candy<\/h3>\n
Here\u2019s one more reason too much candy can be bad for you.<\/p>\n
A Perth, Australia, court has convicted a man for driving under the influence \u2026 of rum balls.<\/p>\n
Tommy Keefe had started eating the treats at a friend\u2019s birthday party and was snacking on them on the drive home when he was pulled over and given a breathalyzer test, News.com.au reported.<\/p>\n
He registered a .038 blood alcohol content, which was above the legal limit of .02 for recently licensed drivers, like Keefe. He said he hadn\u2019t realized how potent the candies were.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was still eating them, very confident that I was going to pass. Turns out, I didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 44-year-old father of six pleaded guilty and was given the reduced sentence of a three-month license suspension and minimum fine for the August infraction.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very thankful to the judge for doing that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The stolen car you’re driving runs out of gas? Better call the police for help.<\/h3>\n
A Pennsylvania man in a stolen SUV called police for help Friday after he ran out of gas and was stranded on the side of the road.<\/p>\n
Daniel M. Rizza, 20, called Pennsylvania state police around 5 p.m. after he ran out of gas in a grey Audi SUV, the Altoona Mirror reported. When he was told a trooper would respond, he said he didn\u2019t want an officer to show up and hung up, WTAJ reported.<\/p>\n
The SUV was parked on state game land with its hazard lights on when a Pennsylvania State game warden arrived, investigators said. State police arrived shortly after as Rizza was talking to the game warden.<\/p>\n
State police ran the vehicle\u2019s information and found out it had been reported stolen in Altoona earlier in the day. Investigators said Rizza waived his Miranda rights and told them he stole the vehicle, the Mirror reported.<\/p>\n
Rizza was arrested and charged with receiving stolen property, police said. He is in jail on $35,000 bail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
