Sigh.... Flight Attendant Accused of Spiking Juice
Fri Mar 14,10:18 AM ET Add U.S. National - AP to My Yahoo!



DETROIT - A former Northwest Airlines flight attendant was charged with assault for allegedly putting a prescription depressant in a toddler's apple juice to stop her crying on an international flight.

Daniel Reed Cunningham, 33, also was charged Thursday with distributing a controlled substance on the Aug. 25 flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.

Arraignment was set for Tuesday for Cunningham, who is not in custody, the U.S. attorney's office said.


The girl's mother, Beate Turner, told FBI (news - web sites) special agent Terry Booth that Cunningham seemed upset when her 19-month-old daughter became restless and began squirming and crying on the flight. Cunningham offered the apple juice three times before Turner accepted, according to the agent's affidavit. The girl suffered no serious injury.


Turner later noticed the juice was bitter and foamy and had blue and white specks floating in it. Ten days after the flight, she took the juice to University Laboratories in Novi, which confirmed the presence of Xanax, a prescription medication used to treat panic attacks and anxiety, the FBI said.


The drug's side effects include lightheadedness, fatigue and drowsiness. The Food and Drug Administration (news - web sites) hasn't approved it for children, the agency said.


Cunningham has denied drugging the child in statements to the FBI. He did not return a telephone message left Friday at a listing for him, and his attorney, Neil Fink, declined comment.


Cunningham also has been charged with importing more than 100 tablets of a non-narcotic controlled substance into the United States on a different flight in October. The tablets included Xanax and Valium.


Northwest spokeswoman Mary Stanik said Cunningham was hired in 1998 and worked for the airline until last Dec. 30. She said she could not discuss his case.

Dude, anyone who has ever been in a restaurant,or a bank lineup, or shopping mall, has had to put up with somebodies crying spawn of Satan at one time or another. At first, you try to be patient, in the event the kid has a MILF. But eventually it wears thin, and you feel your non-violent side running out of time. The guys options were limited, and who knows, it may have been a long flight?

Ok,ok. Lets not get the kids drugged up until the parents decide to employ todays accepted method of doping up the kids to suit THEIR mood.

Booking logic time!

Suppose you're NWATNA, and you have a young Canadian sensation like Madison, representing you as womens champ. So, what do you do with her?(Get your mind out of the gutter.) If you are Vince Russo, you job her out to civil war veteran Lelani Kai. Yes, the same Lelani Kai who wrestled Wendi Richter at the first fucking Wrestlemania. And she looked in her forties even back then! I swear, this woman does not have a gynocologist, she has a fucking palentologist!

Way to build,Russo. Don't worry Madison, I'll fight for ya.

I still do not understand this terror alert thing CNN has going on. Color coded war,eh? I cannot wait to see the newscaster inform us that "Ladies and Gentleman, todays color is set on...pray."

Is it like a terror pregnancy test?One red stripe means your pregnant, two means kiss our collective ass goodbye?

I just really wanna know what color means it is ok to go out looting and destroying property. Ozzy is playing Vancouver in June, so maybe people will just take the initiative from there.

Of course, green will indicate a Freddy Got Fingered sequel is coming.

The Dixie Chicks have spoken their minds about the current impasse with Iraq, and whenever people are foolish enough to actually use their guaranteed right to free speech, it be a trouble a brewin'.

The flap started when lead singer Natalie Maines stated Bush made the group ashamed to be from Texas. Um, and? One would hardly think they are alone in this view.

Maybe entertainers need to be less vocal, for their own good. I personally could give a damn about Bono's opinion on the rainforests or anything else. Besides, he hasn't done anything good since he broke up with Cher.

Can someone fill a guy in on what the deal is with Stephanie Mcmahon's voice these days, and why it seems to have dropped about twelve octaves?

I'm starting to think this could be a consequence of swallowing HHH's roided up manload. If this is the case, her eyes will soon begin glowing like those contacts Mysterio wears.

Or, it could be some bizarre hormonal imbalance. Sadly, there is no cure, and this could be the future that awaits her....



Yes, she will soon begin wrestling in poor quality opening matches and taking up valuable ring space in lame,filler battle royals in Elks Lodges all over BC.

Sadly, her career will fizzle out quicker than a Pet Shop Boys reunion tour.
