You Can't Make This Up - No Discussion

Police near Atlanta kindly asked parents on Wednesday to double-check lunches they pack for their children, after one tyke came to school with a martini to wash down a midday snack.

The South Fulton Police Department released a picture of what, at a quick glance, looked like a normal school lunch.

But on closer examination the aluminum can wasn't juice, soda or any other non-intoxicating beverage. It was a can of lemon martini made with "vodka, triple sec and lemon juice," according to its label.

“That is NOT Capri Sun. That is NOT Apple Juice,” according to a police department statement about the youngster's one-martini lunch. “That is a whole ‘Parent had a long night’ starter pack.”

"Check the lunchbox before the Fulton County Schools Policeresource officers gotta do inventory at recess," South Fulton police added.

“That is a whole ‘Parent had a long night’ starter pack,” read the tongue-in-cheek warning from local PD along with a picture of the canned martini that was packed in a child's lunch.

Wallis is accused of committing 75 thefts at multiple Target locations across Florida between July 2025 and February 2026, Uthmeier's office said. Investigators believe that in each theft, Wallis would grab large boxes of trading cards and an equal number of 99-cent taco seasoning packets.

Then, once at the self-checkout line, Wallis is alleged to have only paid for the seasoning packets. Authorities said that Wallis would resell the stolen trading cards on eBay, generating almost $40,000 in revenue.

The investigation is ongoing; authorities suspect Wallis committed additional thefts at Walmart and Publix locations in Florida.

“This arrest sends a clear message that organized retail theft, no matter how coordinated or far-reaching, will be aggressively investigated and prosecuted,” Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said in a statement.

Wallis faces up to 90 years in prison if convicted on all counts. As of Feb. 27, online court records do not show a defense attorney listed for him.

A total lunar eclipse - no telescope required.

On the morning of March 3, 2026, the Moon will slip into Earth’s shadow and turn a deep red during totality. That “blood moon” color comes from sunlight bending through Earth’s atmosphere, the same effect behind sunrise and sunset glow.

Totality lasts about 58 minutes and will be visible across parts of eastern Asia, Australia, the Pacific, and the Americas.
