  • Misty Holt-Singh: Sister Takes Higher Road In Grief

    Misty Holt-Singh was used as a human shield by bank robbery suspects on Wednesday and lost her life. She left behind children, a husband, and an extended family in a too early death.

    In addition to Misty Holt-Singh, two of the three suspects were also killed in the robbery-turned-car chase.

    Misty Holt-Singh was on her way with her daughter to meet her cousin and get her hair done when things went so terribly wrong. Holt-Singh’s cousin, Stephanie Miller Rodriguez, said of that dreadful day,

    “She and Mia were coming to get their hair done, but she didn’t show up. I texted her on her cell phone and her daughter texted me back saying that the bank was being held up and that her mom had been taken hostage. I came home thinking she was OK because Mia had her phone, but found out later that she was killed in the gunfire. I’ve just been in a state of shock since then.”

    Misty Holt-Singh left behind children, a husband, and a sister who is willing to take the high road when it comes to dealing with her suffering.

    “Even though my sister was the victim of a terrible crime, there are other people out there that have also lost someone,” she said. “We do need to give that family, those families, respect because they’ve lost someone they love too.”

    Some of us might not be so graceful, especially losing a family member through someone else’s mistake or life choices.

    It was probably tough for Dawn Holt, Misty Holt-Singh’s sister, as well.

    “She was one of my best friends,” she said of her sister.

    “Today, a mother, wife, daughter and sister was taken from our family in a senseless tragedy,” Misty Holt-Singh’s sister-in-law Kumal Sidhu Singh said. “If there is a bigger plan, I really don’t understand. Our hearts are shattered…and our family will never again be the same.”

    Such a sad ending for Misty-Holt Singh. Hopefully her family will be able to find closure.

  • Bath Salts Drug Discovered After Car Chase in Oregon

    Bath salts drugs were discovered after a man led police officers on a high-speed pursuit through the town of Medford, Oregon. Zachary Jordan Krawczyk, a repeat offender who was once charged with possession of the aforementioned drug, was parked in front of a well-known drug house Sunday night when an officer ran the car’s plates. Not surprisingly, the vehicle was stolen, prompting a late-night car chase that came to screeching halt after Krawczyk ran over a series of spike strips.

    Although the suspect and his companions attempted to flee the scene after crashing their car, police quickly rounded up the driver and his four friends. After searching his clothes, officers discovered a white substance that Krawczyk identified as “bath salts”, the same drug that officials believe sparked the infamous Miami cannibal case that’s currently making headlines all across the country. The salts, which are often described as “legal Ecstasy”, have been known to cause serious brain damage in those who abuse them.

    According to Mail Tribune, the substance has been showing up in Medford at an alarming rate. “We are encountering people exhibiting bizarre behavior who are using these bath salts. They are often violent and have a high tolerance for pain. They are hard to subdue,” Lt. Mike Budreau explained. “t’s unlike meth or cocaine or anything else we’ve seen. It’s actually quite scary.”

    Krawczyk, meanwhile, has been arrested on charges of possession of synthetic drugs, attempting to elude police in a vehicle, attempting to elude police on foot, reckless endangerment, reckless driving, and failure to appear in court on theft and drug charges.
