Kenneth Hicks, 48, of Virginia, who weighs more than 900 pounds pleaded guilty to cocaine charges while lying down inside an ambulance on Tuesday. Hicks entered his guilty plea in a federal cocaine conspiracy case during a hearing that was held in a courthouse loading dock as the defendant lay on a stretcher inside the rescue unit. US Magistrate Judge David Novak said the court engaged in 'some extraordinary procedures' to deal with Hicks' health issues and to 'protect his dignity'. Hicks stayed inside the ambulance and wasn't visible to several of his family members and reporters who attended the hearing. Hicks, who lives in Emporia, was indicted along with 17 other people in a conspiracy to sell cocaine between 2013 and 2017. Hicks faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum sentence of 40 years. ๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธ

The New York Democrat argued it would be just as 'politicized' to decide not to impeach the president. She said a failure to impeach is a 'neglect of due process.'

A woman in a stolen RV led authorities on a wild chase in Los Angeles on Tuesday, smashing into cars and a palm tree before finally coming to a halt with a large dog hanging out of the shattered windshield. The half-hour chase began around 7pm in Santa Clarita, just north of L.A., when the RV failed to yield for the California Highway Patrol. Video showed the RV careening at speeds of up to 60 mph from Santa Clarita into the San Fernando Valley. The RV hit several cars and then a palm tree in a shopping mall parking lot that tore off the passenger-side door and wrecked the front end, leaving the windshield dangling on the hood. Eventually the female driver lost control of the vehicle. The woman got out and ran with the dog following her but she was quickly tackled by authorities. ๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธ #pursuit
