At the time the two naked young people were arrested around midnight by the police, they were sweating profusely but the young man insisted that the police should leave him to go and teach the young lady a ‘lesson’.

The Head of Tobacco and Substance Abuse of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA), Mrs Olivia Boateng, who made this known at the annual general meeting of the Association of Medicine Counter Assistants Ghana (AMCAG) at the Christ The King Hall in Accra recently said the abuse of tramadol is becoming a danger to the society but the FDA is doing whatever is possible to ensure that the medicine is only sold on prescription.

The FDA official who was the main speaker at the AMCAG’s general meeting on the theme “The Fight Against Abuse of Opioids – The Role of MCA’s” explained further that if the poor lady who was obviously running away from her ‘predator’ as a result of long bout of sex had not met the police patrol team, she would have suffered more long hours of sex.

Mrs Boateng said a lot of crimes are being committed by young people under the influence of tramadol which is medically prescribed for managing severe pains.

She, therefore, described the theme for the AMCAG’s general meeting as very appropriate adding that medicine counter assistants are seen as partners by FDA in the fight against the abuse of opioids.

She asked them not to display tramadol at the point of sale and also restrict the sale to prescription from a recognized health facility.

In his speech, the president of AMCAG, Constance Abbey, asked his colleagues to always dispense with a valid prescription.

“We must know that once we go behind the counter in the pharmacy, we are dealing with people’s lives and health. Therefore, that is not the place and time to engage in trial and error,” the president said.

A naked man has been arrested by police in Florida after he was caught urinating on a police officer’s car and punching and kicking another officer’s patrol car.

Marion County Police arrested Andrew Humphries (18) who stripped off his clothes and went for a walk following a car crash in Florida. Details on the crash and whether Humphries was naked at that point were not released by the authorities.

A witness said Humphries pulled the door handle off the vehicle and urinated on it when he couldn’t get inside, causing around  $700 in damage.

In a separate incident, which was caught on camera, another deputy found Humphries walking naked along the South Highway at 8pm.

“Normal people in their normal mind are not going to go and open the front driver door of a police car,” the deputy said.

“In addition to that, you are absolutely naked, my man, another thing not normal.”

Humphries denied taking any illicit substance, but, seconds later, he began screaming and kicking the patrol car, causing a further $1,000 in damage.

Humphries is charged with one misdemeanor count of criminal mischief and one felony count of criminal mischief.
