Several college students from Oklahoma went on a trip to Cancun, Mexico. Two students were possibly drugged at a resort there. Zara Hull and Kaylie Pitze had a pool day at a Cancun resort. “We both got water and within two minutes, Kaylie had turned around and we both hit the bar, heads down at the same time,” Hull stated. The two were rushed to a private resort in which there were hundreds of rooms, yet they were the only patients. The hospital demanded $10,000 to just check them out, leaving them to suffer. When the two finally got a private plane ride back to Dallas, Hull couldn’t breathe on her own and was on a ventilator. ​

One unlucky thief found himself with an unfortunate haul. A locally owned company, Philadelphia Bee Co., owned by Don Shump had a Shop Vac stolen from the back of his truck. Don explained that earlier in the day, his company had used the machine to gather several hundreds of hornets, including a large amount of queens. Their company gathers flying insects and either relocates them , or in the case of hornets, freezes them for study. Don commented that sometime between Thursday evening and Friday morning, someone stole the shop vac from the back of his truck. ​ In a Facebook post, Shump warned the thief on what was in store: ” To the poor soul who lifted the shop vac out of the back of my truck, I wanted to give you a heads up… The vacuum was there because it was filled with European hornet queens, the largest social stinging insects in the eastern United States. I performed the removal of their nest late yesterday afternoon. Those girls should be full of life and extra spicy. I anxiously await your unboxing video.”
