Hidalgo deputies struggle to figure how to arrest and jail 1,000lb woman

Woman's weight poses challenge for courts in murder case:

The Hidalgo County Jail is not equipped to handle an inmate who weighs nearly 1,000 pounds, Sheriff Lupe Trevino said. And even if a cell and a bed for Rosales were available, deputies are not sure if the physician on staff can handle her various medical needs.

The costs of checking Rosales in for constant medical care could reach as high as $5,000 a day, according to the district attorney's office.

Wait, wait, wait..
Trevino has asked the court to allow Rosales to remain under house arrest and be monitored using a global positioning system until she is required in court.

They need a global positioning unit to keep track of her... like she's going to sneak off anywhere...

I'm sorry, this reminds me of a "yo mama" joke: "Yo' mama so fat every time she turns around she celebrates another birthday."

Heh.

I don't think they really need GPS - I'm sure she's being tracked by NORAD.

LOL.

I'm glad to see that the sister who left the child in her care is being prosecuted.
