After a month long investigation into Houston-area smoke shops, 10 people have been arrested.

Undercover cops infiltrated and recovered tens of thousands of dollars of drugs and $28,000 in cash.

The suspects are all being charged with felony possession of a controlled substance, which is the same as if they had cocaine.

Cops are starting to really crack down on the "legal" synthetic cocaine called bath salts.

What's so dangerous about them, is they're so new and the long-term and even short-term effects aren't really known.

Though most people have an idea of what they do… they make you go crazy, get naked and eat faces.

Stay away from bath salts.

The Los Angeles Lakers' newest star may not be shining for too long.

Power Forward Jordan Hill has been charged with felony assault for choking a family member in Texas on February 29.

We're not sure WHO he choked, but it must have been a pret-ty serious attack if they want to put him in the slammer for up to 10 years.

Since the incident occurred while he was still playing for the Houston Rockets, he's due in court Texas court to face the third-degree felony charge.

We hope this guy gets his act together because, unlike the picture above, assault is never a laughing matter.

Dr. Drew called in to the Adam Corolla radio show this morning to talk about Whitney Houston… and the flak he's getting from Whoopi Goldberg because of it!

Apparently people have been getting racial vibes from Whoopie's opposition to Dr. Drew being able to talk about the incident. We're not sure we totally picked up on them ourselves, but people can believe what they want!

In addition to talking about the flak, Dr. Drew makes some interesting points and observations about the singer's death!

Racism played a key role according to Houston Dynamo players who were barred entry into a club.

The situation quickly elevated into one that involved police, and things got so heated that two players were arrested.

Warren Creavalle and John Deric were the ones to get busted, but they say that it all started because the doorman wouldn't allow them into the club because members of the group were black.

That's so not cool, and something should be done about it! That something, though, probably wasn't "assault a police officer."

Wage your battles without violence — this could have been taken care of with other avenues!

He stopped by and joined injured troops in a game of wheelchair basketball, telling sources:
