Danny Sparks, the mayor of northern Kentucky town Olive Hill, was arrested earlier this week on felony charges of selling marijuana to a police informant within 1,000 feet of an elementary school, leading him to resign from the office that he has held for more than a decade.

A 24-year-old man in Kingston, Ontario was arrested last Saturday on charges of public intoxication (and breach of probation) after yelling at a crowd of children that "Santa Claus doesn't exist" during the city's annual Santa Parade.
