Said he was Arrested for DUI the other day. But here is the real kicker on another website it said he was arrested ion Florida for getting drunk and high on xanax and letting his 8 yr old kid drive. Anybody heard about this?

Isn't there a $50 fine for repeating anything from that site?

**MikeJones** · February 15th, 2011, 02:06 PM

What Site? Topix?

Topix should be SHUT DOWN. Nothing but trash on that site

There isn't, but there should be.

This is the first rumor I've ever seen there w/any link available to substantiate it. All the rest of it is straight up crap and people hiding behind screen names talking junk about real people w/o any moderation whatsoever.

mostly a bunch of middle school & high school kids gossiping and trying to drum up attention.

The 2nd link on the first post can be confirmed at courtbar.org.

Yeah but if its true news then its not gossip. I agree its a alot of trash, but the first link I posted is a legit site. Looks like Ive not been the only one that has read the topix forums. Its that car wreck you cant take your eyes off of.

I though the with bizarreness of the Florida arrest some people might find it interesting.

Topix has become nothing more or less than slander and gossip. Seriously, who cares who the most annoying person is or how hot someone is? Who cares about anyone else's personal life? I thought topix was originally supposed to be about news and such?

**imported_elp6n** · February 15th, 2011, 04:28 PM

In some areas it is about real news, just not in SWVA!

Just FYI--that's the only reason why I haven't deleted this thread. This is the 0.0000000000000000000000000000000001% outlier that has been true on Topix that we can substantiate elsewhere via links.

With that being said, feel free to peruse it on your own time, but don't bother linking a lot of stuff from there to over here in the future. If you or anyone else does, it will be deleted...unless it has supporting valid links, like this one luckily did.
