We called the Fairfax County police for help....the punks they sent threatened to arrest us. One cop tells my wife that if she keeps crying he'll arrest her and the other cop, La Forge or something, says to me "You call the police this what you get"
I said that was wrong and he said
"Go ahead, say more fuck'n thing prick" and I thought "Well if you insist".
“Identification with one’s office or title is very attractive indeed, which is precisely why so many men are nothing more than the decorum accorded to them by society. In vain would one look for a personality behind the husk. Underneath one would find a very pitiable little creature. That is why the office is so attractive: it offers easy compensation for personal deficiencies.” Carl Jung
Charges have been filed against
a Roodhouse police officer and two dispatchers following with investigations
into the disappearance of prescription medication from the White Hall Police
Department.
On Friday, the Greene County
Sheriff’s Department began to serve warrants for the arrests of Roodhouse
Police Sgt. Steven L. Settles, 46, as well as Michele A. Stewart, 48, and
Amanda M. Morrow, 28.
Settles has been charged with
delivery of a controlled substance and official misconduct. Stewart and Morrow
were both charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and theft.
Stewart and Morrow are accused
of stealing medication containing hydrocodone from a storage area in the White
Hall Police Department.
Greene County Sheriff Robert
McMillen said the charges that were filed against Settles are unrelated to that
theft, and he is accused of distributing medication he possessed with a valid
prescription.
“When we got the complaint
about missing medication from White Hall, we looked into that case and learned
of deliveries that had occurred involving Settles and opened up that
investigation a little broader,” McMillen said.
While Hall Police Chief Jack
Wallis said Stewart and Morrow were both part-time dispatchers at White Hall,
though Morrow resigned June 10.
Stewart was a full-time
dispatcher at Roodhouse and Morrow had also resigned this month from a
part-time position there.
The charge of official
misconduct filed against Settles accuses him of delivering controlled
substances in his official capacity and that “knowingly performed an act which
he knew he was forbidden my law to perform.”
Roodhouse Police Chief Kyle
Robison issued a written statement saying “my department will continue to
provide any information necessary to the Greene County Sheriff’s Office and
cooperate fully with the Greene County State’s Attorney.”
McMillen said Friday afternoon
that Stewart already had been arrested and released on $3,500 bail. Settles was
expected to turn himself in later Friday. He said Morrow was undergoing medical
treatment and was not yet arrested.
Wallis said that as a
part-time, on-call employee, Stewart is not allowed to work while the case is
ongoing. At the onset of the investigation, Robison placed two employees on
paid administrative leave. McMillen said he believed that continues to be the
case following the arrests.
HONOLULU (AP) — A former
Honolulu Police Department officer and a second man have been charged in
federal court with extortion and selling stolen vehicles.
The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports Roddy Tsunezumi and Jeremy Javillo were charged
in documents filed Wednesday.
Federal prosecutors say
Tsunezumi committed the crimes while employed by the police department.
Police spokeswoman Michelle Yu
says Tsunezumi "separated" from the department in April after nine
years but would not say why.
Tsunezumi's lawyer Megan Kau
declined comment. It's not clear if Javillo has a lawyer.
Prosecutors say Tsunezumi and
Javillo between June and October 2013 tried to extort $15,000 from two owners
of a Honolulu hostess bar.
They're also charged with
conspiring to buy salvaged vehicles, stealing similar models and switching
vehicle identification numbers to resell the stolen vehicles.
BUENA – A special police
officer was arrested at work here Friday for alleged on-duty misconduct
involving a 17-year-old girl he sexually assaulted, according to county and
local officials.
Sean R. Griffith, 24, of
Landisville was held in Atlantic County Jail on $100,000 bail, the county
Prosecutor's Office said.
Acting Prosecutor James P.
McClain listed the charges as official misconduct and sexual assault, both
second-degree offenses, and third-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
Giffith has worked here about a
year, according to borough Public Safety Director Daniel Caregnato. He's a
Class II special officer, meaning he was allowed to carry firearms while on
duty.
Griffith was suspended
immediately without pay, pending a Borough Council vote on whether to fire him,
Caregnato said.
The officer was used for patrol
duties, he said.
Caregnato said the Police
Department is not investigating the allegations and the borough has not been
fully briefed by county authorities.
McClain said Griffith
"committed the acts while holding a position of authority and disciplinary
power" over the alleged victim.
Griffith is scheduled to be
arraigned in municipal court on July 10.
In New Jersey, a second-degree
offense carries a potential prison term of five to 10 years. The term for a
third-degree offense is three to five years behind bars.
TEMPE, Ariz. -- An Arizona
State University professor who was arrested by campus police last month is
claiming self-defense, and the incident is getting a whole lot more attention
now that 3TV has obtained video of it.
“The reason I’m talking to you
right now is because you are walking in the middle of the street,” Officer
Stewart Ferrin said to ASU professor Dr. Ersula Ore after stopping her near
campus. She was crossing College Avenue, just south of Fifth Street.

video
But in less than a minute, the
conversation quickly began to escalate.
“Let me see your ID or you will
be arrested for failing to provide ID,” Ferrin said.
“Are you serious?” Ore asked.
“Yes, I am serious. That is the
law,” Ferrin replied.
According to police reports,
Ore said she was trying to cross College Avenue in the same fashion as several
others trying to avoid construction.
“I never once saw a single
solitary individual get pulled over by a cop for walking across a street on a
campus, in a campus location. Everybody has been doing this because it is all
obstructed. That’s the reason why,” Ore said to the officer. “But you stop me
in the middle of the street to pull me over and ask me, 'Do you know what this
is? This is a street.' ”
“Are you aware that this is a
street?” Ferrin asked.
“Let me finish,” Ore said.
“OK, put your hands behind your
back,” Ferrin said.
“Don't touch me,” Ore said.
“Get your hands off me.”
Seconds later, things escalated
even further.
“Put your hand behind your
back. I’m going to slam you on this car. Put your hand behind your back,”
Ferrin said.
“You really want to do that? Do
you see what I’m wearing? Do you see?” Ore said.
She was wearing a black dress
and after being "slammed" onto the car, she was wrestled to the
ground. Her dress hiked up and her body was exposed.
While both Ore and Ferrin
suffered some minor injuries, Ore was charged with aggravated assault on a
police officer in addition to criminal damage and obstructing a thoroughfare.
She intends to fight the charges.
Ore's attorney, Alane Roby,
says Ore is claiming self-defense.
"She was exposed, told
officer she was exposed," Roby said of her client while she was on the
ground. "Her dress was up; the officer was reaching toward her anatomy.
She felt uncomfortable with hands going there."
Professor Ore is an English
professor whose research interests include cultural studies, according to ASU's
website.
ASU released this statement to
3TV:
“ASU authorities have reviewed
the circumstances surrounding the arrest and have found no evidence of
inappropriate actions by the ASUPD officers involved. Should such evidence be
discovered, an additional, thorough inquiry will be conducted and appropriate
actions taken.
"Because the underlying
criminal charges are pending, there is not much more we can say at this time.
The Maricopa County Attorney's Office has reviewed all available evidence,
including the police report, witness statements, and audio and video recordings
of the incident, and decided to press criminal charges of assaulting a police
officer, resisting arrest, refusing to provide identification when requested to
do so by an officer, and obstructing a highway or public thoroughfare.”
WEST ALLIS, Wis. (KTTC/AP) --
Bond has been set at $1 million for a former police officer suspected of
killing two women and hiding their bodies in suitcases dumped in southern
Wisconsin.
Steven Zelich, 52, is charged with
two counts of hiding a corpse in a case that brought investigators to
Rochester. Zelich appeared on video but didn't speak during a hearing Friday in
Walworth County Circuit Court.
Zelich's lawyer, Travis
Schwantes, asked for a far lower bond, noting his client hasn't been charged
with homicide. But District Attorney Daniel Necci said he expects homicide
charges to be filed where the women were killed. Investigators allege the women
were killed elsewhere in Wisconsin and in Minnesota
According to the criminal
complaint, Zelich is accused of stuffing the remains of two women in suitcases
he left along a southern Wisconsin highway. The complaint goes on to say he met
his victims online, bound and killed them and carried their bodies around in
his vehicle for months.
On June 5, a highway worker
discovered the two suitcases beside a road in Geneva, Wis., about 50 miles
southwest of Milwaukee. On June 12,
evidence brought investigators to Rochester where one victim, Laura Simonson,
37, of Farmington, Minn., was seen checking into the Microtel Inn and Suites with Zelich back on Nov. 2.
Zelich checked out alone the next day.
Police said Rochester could
have served as a common meeting point, as Simonson was from Farmington, and
Zelich is from the Milwaukee suburb of West Allis.
Zelich's apartment in West
Allis was searched Wednesday, as neighbors watched. They describe him as a man who kept to
himself, was quiet, and never stopped to talk.
Investigators said Zelich was
involved in bondage and sexual fetish websites, where he may have been looking
for a sex partner. Police said they don't know if that's where he and Simonson
first met. Meanwhile, the second woman killed is still unidentified.
The complaint says Zelich
killed one woman in Wisconsin in late 2012 or early 2013 and the other in
Minnesota last November. It says he hid the first body in his home, then later
stored it with the second body in his vehicle.
Both women were found bound,
and their bodies had started to decompose. One had a ball gag in her mouth
Zelich was a patrol officer for
12 years with the West Allis Police Department before resigning in 2001.
