Links from the Times for July 3: Dashcam video, prescription drugs, child abuse

JULY 02, 2009

Frisky police officers
Perry (Ohio) Township Police Chief Tim Escola and patrolwoman Janine England (both married to other people) got a little amorous on a cross-state trip to pick up a prisoner. It was all caught on tape on the dashcam in the police cruiser. The chief resigned. The patrolwoman stayed on the force. No word on what their spouses had to say.

Special report: Deadly Combinations -- Prescription drugs deaths

Special report: For their own good -- Decades of abuse at Florida School for Boys

Story: No child abuse charges for Hillsborough's Brian Blair | Audio: Hear the 911 call | Brian Blair's statement (PDF)
