Wacky TEENs: TEEN jolts mom for ice coffee

Wacky TEENs: TEEN jolts mom for ice coffee

South Florida – It was reported that 19-year-old that Brandon Scott Quintana was taken to jail after he allegedly got physical with his mom because she drank his Starbucks iced coffee. The Port St Lucie resident is charged with battery for the incident earlier in the week, just days before Mother’s Day.

The squabble started when Quintana’s 43-year-old mom woke up from a nap and decided to partake of her son’s Starbucks coffee in the refrigerator. Later that day when Quintana found out that his chilled treat was gone he started to throw temper tantrums.

Quintana allegedly told police he was “pissed off because he spent every cent on that coffee” and that what his mom did amounted to stealing. Quintana’s mom said she tried to solve the problem with her son by offering a two-litre soda as a replacement for the Starbucks, but he pushed her into a computer chair.

Beating and burning ‘Big Boy’

Wisconsin, Milwaukee – Animal cruelty in Wisconsin has been on the rise. Bryan Hutcherson of Oshkosh, starved his pit pull to death because feeding it was just too stressful. Following this incident, an unnamed 13-year-old is being investigated for beating a little dog with a stick, dousing it with gasoline, and setting it on fire.

The tiny pinscher, called ‘Big Boy’, was a birthday gift two years ago to two children. Their parents let the little dog out for a run on April 9, and never saw it again. Now ‘Big Boy’ is dead.

Animal control had to kill ‘Big Boy’, who was in a terrible condition because he was so badly beaten and burnt. Animal lovers held a candlelight memorial for the dog on Sunday.

‘Hummered’ Ducklings

Ann Arbor, Michigan – Nineteen-year-old Dillon Robert Pearce and friends were visiting McDonald’s when they noticed a mama duck and her eight ducklings nesting near the parking lot. One of his friends got out of the car and tried to grab a duckling. The McDonald’s employees saw this and yelled at the TEEN to leave the duck alone.

Pearce and his friends went to a nearby parking lot to eat their food. It was reported that a witnesses saw the TEENs going back to McDonald’s parking lot, where Pearce intentionally ran over four ducklings with his Hummer then sped off. He was arrested by police at a nearby gas station. Pearce has since been charged with felony cruelty.
