Noon: Festival Cans Sugar Plum Fairy

Actress Laura Coppinger portrays the Sugar Plum Fairy during St. Charles, Mo.’s annual Christmas festival. Coppinger was fired when she went to take a mandated city drug test, accidently flushed the toilet during the test — which is prohibited — and cursed when she was told she would have to wait at the facility to provide another urine sample. City officials say she violated the code of conduct for a Christmas Traditions character, but Coppinger said she has gotten an outpouring of support from fans since she made her story public on Saturday.
