The judge also ordered Lohan to spend 90 days in a drug and alcohol rehab program after her jail term is completed. The program will be inpatient.

Judge Marsha Revel ruled that Lohan had violated her probation in a 2007 drunken driving conviction by missing weekly alcohol counseling sessions. Lohan began sobbing hysterically as she addressed the court. “I did do everything that I was told to do and did the best I could,” she said. Come on, Lindsay, you knew the consequences of missing court ordered sessions.

Earlier, the alcohol counseling program director testified at the probation revocation hearing that Lohan missed nine alcohol counseling sessions since December, when the judge ordered her to attend weekly classes or face jail. Lindsay had the nerve to act shocked when Judge Revel ordered jail time.

Lohan was ordered not to drink alcohol and an electronic bracelet was fitted on her leg on May 24 to detect if she did.

The bracelet measured an alcohol level of 0.03 percent in the actress’ body at midnight on June 7, but reported a zero reading four hours later, Revel said during Tuesday’s hearing. The alert would be a bond violation, but not a probation violation, she said.

Revel said she would consider only if Lohan missed weekly alcohol counseling sessions, as Revel ordered in December.

Cheryl Marshall, the director of the Right On program where Lohan has been attending counseling, testified Tuesday morning that Lohan would sometimes call ahead when she was going to miss a weekly session.

A report from the program to the judge said Lohan “kept making up creative excuses” about her absences, prosecutor Danette Meyers said.

In a brief statement, the Portland Police Bureau did not say why it was reopening the investigation. Police earlier said they considered the case closed because there was no evidence.

Kalee Kreider, a spokeswoman for Gore, said the former vice president “unequivocally and emphatically” denied making unwanted sexual advances toward the woman and that he welcomed the investigation.

“Further investigation into this matter will only benefit Mr. Gore,” Kreider said.

She also said “the Gores cannot comment on every defamatory, misleading and inaccurate story generated by tabloids.”

The masseuse alleges Gore made unwanted sexual advances during a massage appointment on Oct. 24, 2006, at the downtown Hotel Lucia, where Gore was reportedly registered as “Mr. Stone.” Gore was in Portland to deliver a speech on climate change.

The story first broke when the National Enquirer reported the allegations a week ago.

The AP does not generally identify people who say they are victims of sex crimes.

Portland police last week said the woman’s lawyer came to them with the allegations in 2006 but that the woman canceled appointments with detectives. The case reopened in January 2009, when detectives interviewed the woman but determined there was insufficient evidence to support the allegations.

According to transcripts of the 2009 interview, the masseuse described the allegations at length. She said Gore groped, kissed and pinned her down on a bed. She told Gore he was acting like a “crazed sex poodle,” according to the transcript.

The woman said she felt there would be consequences if she didn’t cooperate.

“I feared that if I ran for the door to get out, I could or would be violently accosted by some security detail,” she said. “I felt certain that any, even the smallest complaint from him to the hotel, could also destroy my work reputation.”

Now, it appears to have had the opposite effect. Gore’s reputation is in serious danger.

While trying to pack up, she said Gore “wrapped me in an inescapable embrace,” looked her in the eyes and touched her back, buttocks and breasts. She said she asked Gore to stop several times.

“I finally told him and said, you’re being a crazed sex poodle, hoping he’d realize how weird he was being, yet he persisted,” she told Det. Molly Daul.

The woman said Gore’s “Mr. Smiley Global Warming” persona differed from his actions and made her afraid.

“I did not want to get hurt and I did not want to get raped,” she said.

She said Gore demanded she drink cognac, though she told him she doesn’t drink alcohol. She said Gore became enraged when she refused his advances.

Gore and wife Tipper announced that they are separating on June 1 in an e-mail to friends. Tipper must dislike cognac as well. Too bad.

Deputies stopped the truck Wednesday morning, then opened the trailer after finding problems with the paperwork for the load, the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office said Friday.

An “overwhelming odor” led investigators to about 20 tons of narcotics stashed in pallets in the back of the truck, including about 38,000 pounds of marijuana, 2,700 pounds of cocaine and 67 pounds of methamphetamine, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.

Sheriff Rod Hoops said Friday night the seizure was one of the largest in the county’s history.

The truck’s driver, Fernando Luevano, 32, was arrested and charged with possession, transportation and sale of narcotics, authorities said.

The suspect held up a Bank of America branch in Temecula on Thursday.

“During (the) robbery, the robber approached the victim teller and presented a demand note for cash,” a statement from the FBI said. “The robber carried a leather case which contained a small caliber pistol that he threatened to use, if the teller did not comply with his demands.”

The FBI believes the suspect is responsible for robbing 10 banks in San Diego County and one in Riverside County.

The “geezer bandit” has carried a weapon in at least two of the robberies and should be considered dangerous, authorities said.

What’s more dangerous: An armed, bank-robbing grandpa? Or your grandpa behind the wheel?

The robber has been described as between 60 and 70 years old. However, there has been some suggestion that he may be wearing a mask to conceal his real age and make him appear much older than he is.

He is approximately 6 feet, 190 pounds, of average build and has been known to wear prescription eyeglasses and various hats and caps, including a blue baseball cap with a script style “P” on the front.

On Friday, Judge Wilder Casique Alvizuri declared as “unfounded” van der Sloot’s habeas corpus claim that his constitutional rights were violated at the time of the confession because he was represented by a state-appointed attorney.

Van der Sloot also claimed that his laptop had been improperly searched.

In an official press release, the judge said that the suspect had a translator made available to him during the three depositions he gave the police and that his laptop was sealed once delivered to the court.

Van der Sloot, a 22-year-old Dutch citizen, is jailed pending trial on charges of first-degree murder and robbery in the May 30 death of Flores, a 21-year-old student.

While he remains a suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005, he has not been charged in that case.

The indictment follows his May 6 arrest at a Holiday Inn in Ramapo, N.Y., where prosecutors say he paid a 16-year-old girl $300 to have sex with him.

The former New York Giants linebacker also was indicted on charges of endangering the welfare of a child, and sexual abuse and criminal sexual act in the third degree. He faces up to four years in prison if convicted. He has denied the charges.

Rockland County District Attorney Thomas Zugibe said the 16-year-old told investigators that she had been verbally threatened and physically assaulted by a pimp who drove her 26 miles north to the hotel where Taylor was waiting.

“One of the most effective ways to target prostitution is to go after the johns,” Zugibe said. “This indictment underscores our serious commitment to prosecuting those defendants who create a market for the region’s growing sex trade.”

Taylor’s attorney, Arthur Aidala, reiterated his client’s innocence Wednesday.

Aidala said he does not know what evidence was presented by prosecutors to the grand jury, but he said there is more to his defense than meets the eye.

“Our defense does not consist only of Lawrence Taylor and his words and his actions,” Aidala said. “We have other evidence — I’m not going to talk about what other evidence it is — but it’s not just going to be ‘he said she said.’ It’s going to be independent, corroborated evidence that we will be putting forth in Lawrence Taylor’s defense.”

Of the specific charges, Aidala said: “I am saying that he did not have sexual intercourse as defined by the penal code.”

He added that he did not expect a plea bargain.

The evidence includes sworn testimony by a 23-year-old woman who says she accompanied the accused pimp and the 16-year-old girl to the hotel where Taylor was staying. She said Taylor did not rape the girl. The teenager returned to the car with $300 in cash and said: “It was weird … we didn’t even have sex.”

The statement was given to investigators working for the defense team and seen by The Associated Press on the condition the woman not be identified.

A federal criminal complaint filed against the accused pimp, Rasheed Davis, recounts the victim’s version of events and makes no mention of a third person in the vehicle at the time of his arrest in the Bronx. Davis has been charged in federal court with sex trafficking.

Authorities said the teen did not know whom she was meeting at the hotel room. The girl sent text messages to her uncle saying she was in trouble, police said. He called the NYPD, who arrested the suspected pimp once he returned to the Bronx with the teenager. The girl provided information about the hotel.

Taylor anchored the Giants’ defense and led them to Super Bowl titles in 1987 and 1991. He was selected to the NFL’s 75th Anniversary All-time Team.

A 10-time Pro Bowler, he was the NFL’s MVP in 1986 and Defensive Player of the Year in 1981, 1982 and 1986.

The weight-loss company NutriSystem Inc. dropped Taylor as a spokesman because of his arrest.

“I was in a blind panic and signed everything they put in front of me, I didn’t even know what was in those papers,” van der Sloot told a local Dutch newspaper.

“I was really scared during the interrogations, I was confused and just wanted it to end,” he added. “They kept telling me, ‘If you sign these papers you’ll be extradited to the Netherlands’.”

Obviously, van der Sloot’s arrest and confession to the murder of Stefany Flores makes it all the more likely that he was involved in the Natalie Holloway murder.

Hopefully the Peruvian court system will be able to prove van der Sloot’s guilt and place him behind bars for a long time. Although at the expense of another death, the Holloway family might finally be able to get some closure on the death of their daughter, and see redemption for her murder in the form of jail time for van der Sloot.

It could have been worse. Prosecutors agreed to a reduction in the federal sentencing guidelines because Ochoa has cooperated with authorities, although they refused to go any lower.

“He’s in the upper echelon of the world’s cocaine traffickers,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Perry said.

Ochoa previously agreed to relinquish $15 million in assets to the government – including property in Miami, Mexico and Venezuela, as well as the contract of a professional soccer player. Investigators said Ochoa had headed a Medellin-based organization since 1986; a group they claim smuggled 6 to 8 tons of cocaine monthly from Colombia to the United States by cargo ship, speedboat, and airplane through Jamaica, Honduras, Belize and Mexico.

Ochoa pleaded guilty to three counts of conspiracy – two Miami cases from 1989 and 1990, and a Tampa case brought in 2004.

He apologized to the court and to his relatives, who filled the first two rows of the courtroom, including his wife, two children, mother, three brothers and two sisters.

“My life is full of mistakes,” he said. “I knew the only way to fix the problem was to surrender.”

Ochoa said he began negotiating his surrender in 1999. Defense attorney Roy Kahn said his client’s desire to stay with his family and his fear of a long prison sentence scuttled earlier surrender attempts. Ochoa was born in Colombia but raised in Miami. He fled in 1987, before the first of the federal cocaine indictments.

1. Chris Benoit

Over a three day period ending on June 24, 2007, WWE professional wrestler Chris Benoit killed his wife, Nancy Benoit, and then strangled his seven year old son and subsequently hanged himself. Autopsy results showed that Benoit first murdered his wife, Nancy. She was bound at the feet and wrists and died of asphyxiation sometime on Friday. She was wrapped in a towel and some blood was found under her head but Ballard said there were no other signs of a struggle. The couple’s son, who also died of asphyxia, was apparently killed as he lay in bed on Saturday morning, hours before Benoit hanged himself. Benoit left no suicide note but placed bibles alongside the bodies of his wife and son, as well as a bible on his weight lifting machine. Since Benoit’s suicide, numerous explanations for his actions have been proposed, including concussions, steroid abuse, and a failing marriage with his wife. The murder led to numerous media accounts and a federal investigation into steroid abuse in professional wrestling.

2. Chris Brown

Chris Brown turned himself in to the LAPD on February 8, 2009, and was booked on suspicion of making criminal threats, while under investigation for domestic violence charges, following an argument with an unidentified woman. The police report did not name the female in the incident as is policy, but stated that the she had “suffered visible injuries”. However, various news media such as the Los Angeles Times, CNN, and MSNBC said that sources had identified the alleged victim as his girlfriend and fellow R&B singer Rihanna. Brown later released a statement saying, “Words cannot begin to express how sorry and saddened I am over what transpired.”

On March 5, 2009, Brown was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats.  He was arraigned on April 6, 2009, and pleaded not guilty to one count of assault and one count of making criminal threats. On June 22, 2009, Brown pleaded guilty to a felony and accepted a plea deal of community labor, five years formal probation, and domestic violence counseling. Several organizations against domestic violence expressed criticism over the plea deal, advocating the punishment was not severe enough for the crime. On August 25, Brown was sentenced to five years of probation, one year of domestic violence counseling, and six months of community service; the judge retained a five-year restraining order on Brown, which requires him to remain 50 yards away from Rihanna, 10 yards at public events.

3. Chris Henry

On December 16, 2009, professional football player Chris Henry was involved in a car accident in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he sustained grave injuries. Charlotte police stated that Henry fell out of the back of a moving truck driven by his fiancé, Loleini Tonga, while they were engaged in a domestic dispute. On December 17, 2009, Charlotte police announced that Henry had died at 6:36 a.m. ET. On December 19, police confirmed that Henry died of blunt force trauma to the head. No charges have been filed against his fiancé by this date, but she has not been cleared by police. The death of Chris Henry stands for the proposition that domestic violence disputes can easily lead to tragic, irreversible accidents.
