Cam’Ron just blessed the streets with more of that (former) fly drug dealer talk with Purple Haze 2 and he famously told us a decade ago that he “Used To Get It In Ohio” on his Crime Pays album. However, a middle-aged postal worker must have studied the ways of Killa after she was caught moving cooked coke crack via her postal truck.

Darcy Spangler, 52, was arrested in Ashtabula, Ohio and arraigned earlier this week on drug trafficking charges reports the Associated Press.

Police searched Spangler’s home and found evidence of drug activity and it appears Spangler was on the radar of the Crime Enforcement Agency of Ashtabula Couty for three months prior to cops pulling her over while she was en route to check in for work. In all Spangler faces four counts in relation to police discovering crack cocaine in her work vehicle.

Local publication the Star Beacon additionally reported that the agency conducted the investigation of Spangler’s criminal activity with the help of U.S. Postal Inspectors, and the Office of the Inspector General, with the Painesville Office of the FBI searching Spangler’s Ashtabula residence.

Crime Enforcement Agency commander Detective Greg Leonhard addressed the investigation and the arrest via a statement.

“This investigation involved transactions or purchases through undercover, confidential sources,” Leonhard said. “On two out of three occasions the transactions occurred out of her postal vehicle.”

Spangler is reportedly due in court to face her charges on December 23. Another unnamed individual may also face charges in connection with the mobile crack operation.

It looks like someone’s going to have a pretty chilly Christmas.

Wendy Williams Addresses her Drug Abuse Amid TV Return

Leave a comment

Wendy Williams made her highly-anticipated return to her show this week, and spoke about her history with drug addiction.

The 53-year-old referred to herself as a “walking addict” while revisiting her dark past on Tuesday’s show. She was discussing the tragic death of Luke Perry, who died at the age of 52 after suffering a stroke, when she raised the topic of substance abuse.

“Once you’re a substance abuser, you have to battle that for the rest of your life,” she said. “I’ve told you about my ten-year ride with the cocaine and the crack. Oh, yes, crack is wack — but it was very good to me at a particularly stupid point in my life. … I was a mess, functioning, killing myself. I realize that I am a walking addict. Do you know what I’m saying? You can’t just clean it up and stop it and think it’s not going to affect you.”

After more than two months away from her talk show, the Hot Topics queen reiterated her Graves’ disease plus MRIs, cat scans and blood pressure tests was the reason for her absence. However, the rumor mill suggested that she was having troubles with her marriage to Kevin Hunter, who reportedly has a younger side chick, and she took time off to go deal with it.

“I had wasted a lot of my life, burning up my insides, which aren’t burnt, thank God, but you never know when it could pop up,” Williams said Tuesday. “So I constantly have to watch the inside of my body because of hard partying, plus, you know, the thyroid. Just a mess.”

DMX Discusses Moving Forward With Drug Sobriety

Leave a comment

Today (January 29), DMX gave one of his first interviews since leaving Gilmer Federal Correctional Institution in Glenville, West Virginia on Friday morning (January 24). The 48-year-old rapper was in California as a guest on Big Boy’s Neighborhood. The veteran radio and TV personality has released some clips from their conversation. Notably, DMX discussed his sobriety after a tax evasion sentence that began last March. At the time, a New York judge ordered that the rapper born Earl Simmons spend a year behind bars after he failed mandatory drug tests tied to previous charges. While X had remained at large to help pay back his tax debts, Jed Rakoff felt as though the former superstar needed the personal rehabilitation. Kurupt Explains How He & DMX Made Peace 20 Years After Their Beef Over Foxy Brown (Video) On Tuesday, X told Big Boy that he is not using drugs. “I don’t do anything,” DMX stated. “I’ll have a drink here and there. That was never a problem,” he says, repeating the second sentence. “That’s about it.” Big Boy asks the Ruff Ryders MC what the problem was. “Cocaine. Crack,” he says in a powerful clip. As Big Boy replies, X interrupts, “I think we kinda knew that was the problem. Anybody in here that didn’t know? Of course, it was a problem. I got in trouble and all that sh*t. It’s not worth it. I spent too much time doing things. It’s just not worth it.”

DMX also condemned Rap music that promotes some of the toxins that he is trying to overcome. “It all promotes drug use. If that’s what you want to do, that’s your business. But you ain’t gotta promote it like it’s cool, and make it cool. Then kids [are] walking around [saying], ‘I’m poppin’ Molly’s, I’m poppin’ Percs.’ Ayo.”
