'Emergency' order issued to pick up McCready's son

Country singer does not have legal custody of child
(CNN) -
A Florida judge has signed an "emergency ... pick up order" authorizing law enforcement officers to get the 5-year-old son of country singer Mindy McCready, a court spokeswoman said Thursday.

The child was not brought in, prompting Judge James H. Seals to sign the emergency order around 4 p.m. Thursday , said Sheila Mann, a spokeswoman for Florida's 20^th Judicial Circuit court.

"The child is now an official missing person," said Aimee McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Children's Network of Southwest Florida, the lead agency for child welfare services

With the emergency pick up order now official, local law enforcement will update the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI's National Crime Information Center about the case, according to McLaughlin.

Los Angeles authorities investigating a string of more than 35 fires set over the last two days strongly suspect the blazes are the work of more than one arsonist.

On Friday morning21 fires were started in a relatively small area around Hollywood and West Hollywood. On Friday night and Saturday morning16 more fires were reported. They were similar to the ones in Hollywood but were spread out over a much larger area.

Eight of the fires occurred in North Hollywood three in the foothill area of the San Fernando Valley three in the Wilshire Division of the Los Angeles Police Department one on the Westside and one in Lennox.

Law enforcement sources told The Times that it would be difficult -- but not impossible -- for one person to set all those fires. The sources who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the case was open said it's possible there is more than one arsonist or that some fires are the work of copycats.

One source said a single arsonist would have to be a "superman" to have set all the blazes Saturday morning.

Officials described the blazes set Friday as one of the worst arson rampages in Los Angeles in recent history.

Among the properties damaged was the Hollywood Hills home where The Doors' Jim Morrison once lived. The home inspired Morrison's song "Love Street."

Friday night's fires left L.A.-area residents on edge and investigators perplexed as they began the painstaking search for clues on who had set the fires and why.

Nearly all of the fires began with a vehicle being set ablaze. Several times however the flames jumped to nearby apartment buildings or houses causing significant damage at some of the locations.

Estimates of the total damage were not available although officials from the Los Angeles County Fire Department said that four fires set in West Hollywood alone destroyed about $350000 worth of cars and property.

One firefighter suffered back and neck injuries and was taken to a hospital. His condition was not thought to be serious.

The only clue officials have released about the Saturday fires is that they are looking for a male driving a white and tan mid-1990s Lexus ES300. No further description of the suspect was released.


edit to add, they have a suspect, a German national.

oh no, he was riding on my favorite Key, Islamorada. i didn't realize he is 81. it must have been pretty serious to take him up to Miami, but then any head injury is potentially serious.

(CNN) -- Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman was struck by a car while riding a bicycle Friday in Islamorada, Florida, the state highway patrol said.

The 81-year-old, who was not wearing a helmet, was transported to Ryder Trauma Center in Miami with "serious" injuries, according to the highway patrol.

Hackman was thrown from his bike when a Toyota Tundra pickup struck his rear tire, according to the highway patrol. Alcohol did not play a factor in the crash.

Susan Madore, Hackman's publicist, downplayed the incident, saying, "Gene's fine. ... Just a few bumps and bruises. He is already on his way home."

Hackman, who turns 82 this month, last appeared in a major motion picture in 2004, co-starring with Ray Romano in the comedy "Welcome to Mooseport."

He won an Oscar for best supporting actor for 1992's "Unforgiven" and won the award for best actor in "The French Connection" in 1972.



The 81-year-old actor was biking at mile marker 88.7, along the “Old Road” when he was injured.

Because of the remote location of the incident, Hackman was airlifted to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, said publicist Susan Madore. Hackman was released after a few hours with “very minor bumps and bruises,” Madore said.

[aussiefriend]

over here in the news it is reported 'substance abuse'.

[ramseycat]

Exhaustion? I mean really. How exhausted can she be? She has nanny's and housekeepers and I don't think she is filiming anything right now. It kills me how these celebrities get admitted for exhaustion all the time. What about us poor working slobs that have to clean our own house and take care of our own kids and work every day? I'm exhausted but you don't see me checking into a hospital.

[Lady Cop]

the people rag and other articles also said substance abuse.
i put exhaustion in quotes because it is code for drunk druggie among celebs and politicians etc.
exhaustion is what her rep said.
