Hospital worker accused of using dead patient\u2019s debit card to buy snacks<\/h3>\n

A health care worker in the United Kingdom has confessed to using a dead patient\u2019s debit card to buy snacks from the vending machine \u2014 including just 17 minutes after the victim died.<\/p>\n

Ayesha Basharat, 23, appeared in Birmingham court Wednesday on charges she swiped the dead 83-year-old woman\u2019s card at Heartlands Hospital in the city, news outlet ITV reported.<\/p>\n

Doctors had recorded the woman\u2019s time of death as 1:56 p.m. on Jan. 24 \u2014 but just 17 minutes later purchases were made on her card at the vending machine, police said.<\/p>\n

Basharat allegedly made six purchases using the contactless payment option and then made one more later in the evening.<\/p>\n

She then tried again four days later, but by that time the card had already been canceled, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

Police arrested Basharat during her shift and found the card still in her possession, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

She initially claimed that she found the card on the floor and got it confused with her own, but authorities said the cards were different colors.<\/p>\n

Basharat on Wednesday copped to charges of theft and fraud by false representation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michigan State Representative on Spending Campaign Funds at Strip Club: \u2018Have to Meet People Where They\u2019re At\u2019<\/h3>\n

Not sure if using campaign funds at a strip club is legal. It certainly\u00a0feels\u00a0<\/em>like it should be illegal, but I can’t fault the guy’s logic. This isn’t the only trouble he’s in though.<\/p>\n

An embattled Michigan state representative defended spending campaign funds at a Dearborn strip club, claiming, \u201cWe have to meet people where they\u2019re at sometimes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Democrat State Rep. Jewell Jones, who was arrested in April for allegedly driving drunk and fighting with state troopers, spent $221 at the Pantheion Club in March, the Detroit Free Press reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have (to) meet people where they\u2019re at some times \u2026 #HOLLA,\u201d Jones responded to a reporter, the paper said.<\/p>\n

He added the establishment, which bills itself as \u201c#1 in topless entertainment,\u201d has \u201cgreat lamb chops.\u201d Campaign finance records showed Jones also spent $700 at a Las Vegas restaurant that same month.<\/p>\n

A court recently ruled Jones violated his bond conditions for a second time over an alcohol-monitoring tether, WDIV reported:<\/p>\n

This was the second violation of his bond and he avoided jail time once again. In his previous bond hearing he was given an alcohol tether that would tell the court if he was drinking. He has to pay for the tether or it will shut off and he\u2019d be violating his bond again.<\/p>\n

Last week the tether shut off for nonpayment. Even though his probation officer said they were reminding him to pay week after week. Prosecutor\u2019s argued that Jones\u2019 bond should be revoked this time and he should be held in jail.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The judge gave Jones a fourth, and supposedly final, chance to avoid jail.<\/p>\n

According to WILX, Jones\u2019s legal problems stem from an allegation that he crashed into a ditch on I-96 and resisted arrest after assaulting a paramedic.<\/p>\n

Michigan State Police troopers took Jones to the ground after he repeatedly refused to show officers an ID; instead, he allegedly flashed a badge from the Inkster Police Department:<\/p>\n
