Partygoers Turn Tables In Robbery

TAMPA - A plan to rob partygoers ended with one suspect hogtied, another shot with a pistol the men brought for the job, and all four being arrested.

Judging by the bloody stains and handprints on the door to Apt. 108 in The Landings at Cypress Meadows, off North Dale Mabry Highway, clearly something bad happened there.

Outside, blood-stained socks and bandages lay in wads, apparently discarded in a hurry. The concrete was littered with shards of green glass from broken beer bottles and crumpled yellow crime-scene tape left behind by Hillsborough County sheriff's investigators.

It's what happened inside that might serve as a lesson to would-be robbers, sheriff's officials said.

Neighbors said the apartment sat vacant for months before three young men in their 20s moved in about three weeks ago. They soon made a habit of throwing parties, so it seemed routine when one started up Saturday night.

Neighbors didn't expect to return home to a complex crawling with deputies.

The party was in full swing about 9:40 p.m. when Gregory Davis, Ladarius Hudson and Laroy Sims, all 18, and Joshua Franklin, 15, walked in. They soon made it clear they weren't there for the beer.

One man brandished a pistol, and they all demanded the partygoers' valuables and cash. Guests emptied their pockets. Things were going as planned until some of the guests fought back, sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway said.

"They struggled, and the gun went off," he said. "It grazed Laroy Sims' hand."

Sensing they had the upper hand, some of the partygoers grabbed Davis and hogtied his 5-foot-8, 195-pound frame with speaker wire, Callaway said.

"They tied him up and pummeled him until deputies got there," he said.

Sims, Franklin and Hudson ran out the front door and tossed the pistol into the woods behind the apartment. A deputy later found it. The three ran to a waiting car and planned to leave, Callaway said.

"When they got to the car, they realized Gregory Davis had the keys," he said. "That's when we got there and everybody was put in handcuffs."

Paramedics treated Sims' gunshot wound at the scene and deputies untied Davis, Callaway said. The four were then arrested.

Davis, of 8726 N. Tampa St.; Sims, of 9701 N. 46th St.; and Hudson, of 10221 N. Ninevah Road, each face 10 counts of home invasion robbery and aggravated assault with a firearm. They were held without bail in the Orient Road Jail. Franklin faces 10 counts of home invasion robbery.

Orem teen calls police to get his dope back

Marijuana does a lot of things to people, but increasing their intelligence is not one of them.
They don't call it dope for nothing.
It makes you forgetful. It makes you lazy. It impairs your decisionmaking.
Oh, and it makes you stupid.
To wit (or nitwit): A teenager called Orem police last week to report that someone had broken into his house and stolen something that belonged to him.
That something was marijuana, he told police.
He knew who took it.
He wanted that person caught.
And he wanted the Orem police to help.
The police are still laughing.
It's enough to make Timothy Leary undead. The case has already turned up on Web sites devoted to stupid criminals. There is a lot of competition to earn a spot among America's stupid criminals, but criminals on marijuana have an edge.
This could be exhibit A in the case against legalizing marijuana.
For detective Craig Gaines, it doesn't get any easier than this. All he had to do was ask a couple of questions, starting with: "Did the burglar steal marijuana?"
Gaines guessed as much because the blood trail from the broken window went past valuable property straight to a closet in the back of the house. It looked like the burglar wanted something very specific. It looked like a drug case.
"I can't help you unless I know what was taken," Gaines told the "victim." "Was it marijuana? I know it's illegal, but breaking in is worse."
To Gaines' shock, the man answered, yes, it was marijuana. A quarter pound.
"I really didn't think he'd answer the question," Gaines said. "I'm thinking, Wait a minute, this guy called me because someone stole his marijuana? You gotta be kiddin' me. It just got funny."
It got funnier. Gaines asked the "vic" if he knew who took it. Answer: Yes.
"I was amazed," Gaines said. "Why did he even call?"
Later, police arrested the burglar, who had cut himself on the window, and found the bag of marijuana. All they needed was a little more help from the "vic" to complete this whole business. Gaines called him on the phone and asked him to come to the police station to identify the marijuana.
To his further amazement, the "vic" not only showed up at the station, but he answered all their questions.
Police: "Is this your marijuana?"
"Vic:" "Yes."
Police: "You have the right to remain silent . . . "
The police got a two-fer deal, and they yawned their way through it. Barney Fife could have solved this case.
"It was proof that marijuana does affect your brain cells," Gaines said.
Since then, Gaines has asked friends, "If you're a drug dealer and someone breaks into your house and you realize the only thing missing is drugs, and you know who did it, would you call the police?"
"Even the dumb criminals are smarter than this," said Doug Edwards of the Orem Department of Public Safety.
As a former highway patrolman, Gaines thought he had seen the depths of stupidity among dope heads. He once pulled over a man who was driving 105 miles per hour on the freeway — with 300 pounds of marijuana. On another occasion, he eyed a Grateful Dead sticker on a car he had pulled over for speeding and told the driver, "We're worried about the large amounts of marijuana that have come through here. If you have just a small amount, you should give it to me." The driver complied and was arrested.
"It does make our job easier," Gaines said of the Orem case. "This is the kind of case I love. It's easy, and we solve it."

Bad Blood Between 2 Houses Descends Into 'Absolute Chaos'

TAMPA - A longstanding dispute between two College Hill families exploded into a biting, shooting, stabbing, golf-club-swinging, hair-weave-pulling melee Thursday, police said.

Police do not know what caused the bad blood between the residents at 2311 E. 28th Ave. and those at 2308 Chipco St., but they said it had been boiling for months. Officers have responded to each location at least 20 times - mostly since October - for reported fights, aggravated assaults, burglaries and criminal mischief, records show.

It was not clear Thursday whether all the calls were related to the conflict between the families.

Thursday's brawl injured six people. Three were transported to Tampa General Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

When officers arrived at the 28th Avenue address at 1:50 p.m., they found "absolute chaos," said retired Cpl. Larry McKinnon, a department spokesman.

Screaming people lay in the yard and in the parking lot of the College Hill Health Center next door, McKinnon said. Crime scene technicians later photographed bent bicycle tire rims, two golf clubs - a putter and a wedge - and the hair weave on the ground.

Detectives tried to sort out what triggered the violence but had no answers late Thursday.

Relatives visiting Louise DeWanda Humphrey, 25, Christina Humphrey, age unknown, and Kimberly Peterson, 25, at the hospital declined to speak with reporters.

The fracas was the second call to the 28th Avenue house Thursday for Tampa police, who first responded about 10 a.m. to resolve an argument.

The calm lasted until shortly before 2 p.m., when the family from the Chipco Street house approached the other home. A man in his late teens or early 20s struck Louise Humphrey, of the 28th Avenue house, with a golf club, police said. Then another man from the Chipco house retrieved a gun and started shooting.

In the commotion, a backyard shed at the Chipco house caught fire. Firefighters do not know the cause.

During the fray, Louise Humphrey was stabbed in the eye, and Christina Humphrey was stabbed in the neck, police said. Steven A. Randall, 20, a Progress Village resident visiting the 28th Avenue house, was beaten with a bicycle tire rim, police said.

Peterson, of the Chipco, house was shot in the leg and beaten with a golf club, police said. Paramedics at the scene treated Randall and Chipco residents Makita Copeland, 30, for a bite mark on the arm and Clarence Copeland, 60, for a head wound from a golf club, police said.

A 15-year-old from the Chipco address lost the hair weave but did not require medical aid, officials said.

A fake raffle nabbed 10 suspects in a stolen prop*erty operation. Destination: Orient Road Jail.

Ruse Disorients Suspects; 120 Arrested In Sting
By JOSH POLTILOVE The Tampa Tribune
9/18/08
TAMPA — Some of the suspects in a yearlong undercover operation involving stolen property were particularly dangerous or going to be hard to find.
So Hillsborough County sheriff’s deputies set up a fake raffle, offering those suspects a chance to win a trip to the Orient. The suspects jumped at the chance, providing personal contact in*formation to investigators, authorities said.
A sign about the trip offered the winners on-site security and a chance to check out all the bars. “Lock in your chance to win this great trip,” the sign said. “Length of stay may vary. See agent for details.” The ruse led to 10 arrests.
“The Orient is, of course, the Orient Road Jail,” said Lt. Steve Launikitis, who came up with the idea. “It was a spin. Nobody had a clue. It was a little play on words there, but nobody picked up on it.”

During the operation, deputies gathered 102 firearms, 50 vehicles, nearly $78,000 in cash and about 40 pounds of cocaine.

http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/1185/image5bc6.jpg (http://imageshack.us)


The entire sting operation netted nearly $1.5 million in stolen property and resulted in more than 120 arrests.
In October, investigators opened a business called SouthEast Auction Service on West Waters Avenue where undercover deputies bought stolen property.
Deputies also made pur*chases outside the store as part of the operation, including sto*len vehicles.
For about a year, they bought illegal or stolen guns and drugs. They recovered 102 firearms and 50 vehicles. They also seized nearly $78,000 in cash and about 40 pounds of cocaine valued at more than $1 million.
More than 140 people were identified and more than 120 arrests were made by Wednes*day.
The investigation’s primary focus was to take guns off the streets, Sheriff David Gee said. Operation SouthEast Auc*tion Service was similar to an operation last year called “Deputies Against Guns.” In that investigation, detectives opened an electronics store called DAG’s Electronics on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Bou*levard in Seffner. That operation netted near*ly $2 million in stolen cars, trucks, motorcycles, electron*ics and watercraft.
Gee called it the biggest sting of its kind in Hillsbor*ough County in decades.
Both operations worked when word spread quickly that the businesses would be will*ing to buy stolen property for cash.
This time, the sheriff’s office spent $72,000 in confiscated drug money to buy stolen property, paying 5 cents on the dollar for the goods, sheriff’s spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.
A laptop purchased by dep*uties had been stolen from a Hillsborough County deputy’s house, Maj. Paul Davis said.
Another gun purchased said “Maine State Police” on it.
“We haven’t contacted them yet, but we will,” Davis said.

Obama signs vandalized: Victim calls it a hate crime

PINELLAS PARK, FL -- A Pinellas Park businessman, who says he's just trying to support his President, says he's the victim of a hate crime.

Randy Heine told ABC Action News.com he's being targeted by vandals because he has signs at his store supporting Obama.

The signs, which stand eight feet tall, read "ONE NATION UNDER OBAMA."(that ssob works for us)

http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/7144/undergod01ys9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Four times since election day, vandals have painted over the word "Obama" and replaced it with the word "God" Heine says.(lmao)

Pinellas County sheriff's deputies are investigating, but say this does not meet the legal standard to be classified a hate crime. They've called it a case of criminal mischief.

The incident was captured on video by store security cameras at Heine's shop.

Shoplifter gets run over twice by getaway car!

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Cape Coral police are searching for a shoplifter who got away after being run over twice by her own getaway car!

Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXV63ZE0zWM&feature=player_embedded)

According to police, on Tuesday a woman went into the T.J. Maxx on Del Prado Boulevard and stuffed six expensive purses down her pants. She then ran outside to her getaway car, but when she went to get in she fell out. She was then run over by the car. She then jumped onto the hood of the car, fell off, and got run over again!

Police say the woman, the car, and the purses took off down the street, but in all the commotion a personal check flew out of the car.

Police have checked the names and addresses connected to the check but so far no arrests.

Shoppers say they're glad the alleged shoplifter was the only one hurt in the heist.

"She had no business first of all stealing, and then endangering other innocent victims, at the same time someone could have been killed," said Cape Coral shopper Carla Peterson.

Police say the woman was wearing beige scrubs and the getaway car was described as a silver Saturn.

If you have any information, call the Cape Coral Police Department or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS.

Motorized La-Z-Boy chair from Minn. drunk driving case to be auctioned
.DULUTH, Minn.

A motorized La-Z-Boy used by a man who pleaded guilty to driving it drunk is going up for auction. But police say interested bidders need to keep it off the streets.

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/5536/lazboy101.jpg (http://img687.imageshack.us/i/lazboy101.jpg/)

DULUTH, Minn. - A motorized La-Z-Boy used by a man who pleaded guilty to driving it drunk is going up for auction. But police said interested bidders need to keep it off the streets. The chair, powered by a lawnmower engine, comes equipped with a stereo, cup holders and lights.

Police in Proctor, in northern Minnesota, are putting the seized chair up for auction on eBay on Thursday. The proceeds will go to the police, state and the prosecuting attorney.

But Chief Walter Wobig cautions that the chair isn't "street legal," so any buyer should stick to the living room — or at most a parade.

The former owner, Dennis LeRoy Anderson, pleaded guilty this month to operating the chair while intoxicated. His family is also auctioning on eBay an autographed photo of him riding the La-Z-Boy to help with his fees.

Hillsborough jail rescue video turns inmates into heroes :happy_01:
November 6, 2009

TAMPA — Half a dozen TV cameras lined a small conference room inside the Hillsborough County Jail on Thursday — all waiting to interview the inmates who saved a deputy's life three days earlier.

http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/6215/inmateshcj01.jpg (http://img514.imageshack.us/i/inmateshcj01.jpg/)
From right, David Schofield, 34, Jerry Dieguez Jr., 48, Terrell Carswell, 38, and Hoang Vu, 27, rescued a deputy who was being attacked by another inmate at the Orient Road Jail. “It was an ambush, and instinct just kicked in,” Dieguez said.

http://www.tampabay.com/video/?bcpid=28597115001&bctid=48245428001

The shocking video of a prisoner sneaking up behind detention Deputy Kenneth Moon and choking him had been on the local news and all over the Internet since the Monday attack.

National media outlets had come calling — all the way up to the Oprah show — about the four inmates who joined the fracas in an effort to save the 64-year-old deputy, said Col. Jim Previtera, the jail's commander.

But when they shuffled into the conference room sporting their orange jail scrubs, scruffy beards and scratches, the four inmates didn't look like your typical heroes.

Jerry Dieguez Jr., 48, said his Marine Corps training took over Monday when he saw a prisoner rush up behind Moon and wrap his forearm across the deputy's wind pipe.

"It was an ambush, and instinct just kicked in," he said.

Dieguez, jailed on charges of home invasion robbery and opposing an officer without violence, launched a punch over Moon's head, striking his attacker in the face and taking all three men to the ground.

"I hit him with the hardest punch I could and an elbow to try to get him to let go," Dieguez said.

He said he'd always had a fantasy growing up about being a cop. So helping an officer, especially one as fair and well liked as Moon, felt like a dream come true.

"I just thank God I had the chance to do what was honorable and righteous," he said.

As the three tussled on the floor behind the desk, 34-year-old David Schofield grabbed Moon's radio from his desk and yelled "Emergency!" to draw more deputies' attention.

"It's all about respect," Schofield said. "I've been knowing Moon since 1994, and he always pulls me to the side to check on me and see what's going on when I come back. He's a very respected person and goes by the rules."

Hoang Vu, 27, and Terrell Cars*well, 38, both tried to loosen the attacker's grip on the deputy's neck until backup arrived.

"He had turned a whole different color from the neck up," Carswell said. "I was thinking about this is somebody's father and somebody's son and how nobody deserves to die like that."

Vu, accused of two counts of attempted murder and burglary, said through a translator that he "loved Moon" because of how kindly he had treated him and that he wanted to "take care of him."

Deputies identified the inmate who attacked Moon as Douglas Burden, 24, of Tampa. In jail on driving-under-the-influence and drug-trafficking charges, he now faces the added charge of battery on a law enforcement officer.

Minutes before the attack, Dieguez was handing out turkey, ham and cheese sandwiches to the other inmates in the pod — a part of his duties as a trusty.

Burden just looked at the sandwich, Dieguez said.

"Moon told him if he wasn't going to eat then he should go back upstairs to his room," Dieguez said. Then, Burden tiptoed behind the desk near the front door of the common area and grabbed hold of Moon.

"I had just pulled him off of somebody a month before this," Carswell said.

Carswell said he thought Burden had snapped because of mental problems and choked another inmate. "Me and Vu pulled him off the guy and then he went away," Carswell said.

Part of Carswell's affection for Moon comes from dealing with his own mental health problems, he said at the news conference.

Carswell is accused of trafficking in cocaine, armed home invasion robbery and failing to register as a sex offender. He said when he starts hearing voices, Moon can always spot the warning signs and tries to get him seen by a doctor.

"He treats us like a child or a son, and he's like a doctor to us," Carswell said. "He always tries to make sure you get your medicine."

Other men in the pod have said they were glad Moon was attacked, Dieguez said.

And there has been a certain amount of jealousy for all the attention the heroes of jail Pod 7-D are receiving, he said.

"People have been calling from all over the country asking to put money in their canteen accounts," said Deputy Larry McKinnon, a spokesman for the Hillsborough Sheriff's Office.

Outsiders have also offered to buy the men a flat-screen TV for the jail pod, which has a common area designed to hold the 62 men with medical or mental health issues, Previtera said.

"The demand for the interviews had just been so high since we released the video," he added.

But the notoriety hasn't seemed to change the men's priorities.

Carswell left the news conference beaming.

"We're having fried chicken today," he chirped.

The excitement was palpable.

PDEA agent mauls, shoots tricycle driver in ear
6/24/10

BUTUAN CITY – For refusing to follow his instructions to be dropped off at another barangay, a Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) agent mauled and then shot a tricycle driver in the ear early dawn on June 23.

PDEA agent Jalon Niño Prado, 31, was reportedly irked when the tricycle driver told him that he was unavailable because he was waiting for a regular customer, investigation made by Butuan City Police Station 3 showed.

The incident took place near the police station.

Prado allegedly wanted the tricycle driver to transport him to Barangay Bancasi some three kilometers away, but some witnesses claimed the the driver politely turned down the request.

Also, some eyewitnesses mostly trysikad (pedicab) drivers, noticed the PDEA agent was allegedly drunk.

Irate, the PDEA agent went to the agency’s regional office to get his service firearm — a caliber .45 pistol — and upon return, aimed the gun at the driver.

The agent then started mauling the victim while cursing and then shot the victim's ear, a police investigation report and eyewitnesses claimed.

A Philippine National Police-Caraga Regional Highway Traffic Management Group personnel SPO3 Magancio Lofranco, who was at the crime scene at the time of mauling and shooting, allegedly even helped the suspect maul the victim, eyewitnesses told the investigating police and reporters.

It was not known if this claim made by eyewitnesses were included in the police report.

The Traffic Management Group-Caraga and PDEA-Caraga regional offices are located near to each other.

Investigators of Butuan City Police Station 3, which is also near the two offices, identified the victim as Roger Pino, 26, married and resident of Purok 3, Barangay Libertad, Butuan City.

Close relatives who say they don’t have enough money to hire counsel for the mauled victim alleged some PDEA personnel are now negotiating to pay allegedly P3,000 for the victim’s injuries.

They wanted the TMG personnel included in the charge sheet.

On Wednesday afternoon, a case of grave threat and physical injuries were filed only against the PDEA agent before Butuan City Prosecutors’ Office under case number XIII-01-INQ-10F-00120. - RJAB Jr./LBG, GMANews.TV

Need a Date? Don’t Call 911
Friday, July 14, 2006

Listen up ladies.

We all know what they say about a man in uniform…

But under no circumstances should you tie up an emergency dispatch system to give a hot cop your phone number.

That’s what one desperate-for-a-date Oregon woman did last month.

And it landed her in jail.

Lorna Jeanne Dudash called 911 to get “the cutest cop I’ve seen” to come back to her home.

Washington County Sheriff’s Sgt. David Thompson had been there earlier in response to a noise complaint from her neighbors.

So why did Dudash need the “cutie pie” deputy to return?


This is what she told a dispatcher:

“Honey, I’m just going to be honest with you, OK? I just thought he was cute. I’m 45 years old and I’d just like to meet him again, but I don’t know how to go about doing that without calling 911,” she said.

“I know this is absolutely not in any way, shape or form an emergency, but if you would give the officer my phone number and ask him to come back, would you mind?”

Well the “cutie pie” did come back — to arrest her.

Not exactly a woman’s fantasy first date.

What, if anything, would you have done?

August 4, 2010 (ATLANTA) -- An Atlanta woman who used her feet to type a computer message to her boyfriend asking for help after she was robbed and bound says she persuaded the robber not to steal her laptop.

The woman, 39-year-old Amy Windom, appeared on NBC's "Today" show Wednesday and described her ordeal.

She says a robber entered her home early Tuesday and bound her to her bed. Windom says the robber left her computer after she told him it has a tracking device.

She says she propped up the laptop and after realizing she couldn't type with her feet, wedged the power cord between her toes and produced messages. She got her boyfriend's attention with an instant message and he sent the police to her home.

Polk homeowner shoots two teens reportedly breaking in
9/21/10

DAVENPORT - She heard the sound of her bedroom window breaking. Then she saw a masked intruder pushing through the open window.

Yahaira Cintron-Rivera woke up her husband, Jose Luis Oyola-Aponte, who armed himself with a handgun. As the masked man and a second suspect pushed the curtain open, Oyola-Aponte shot the masked intruder in the head and the other suspect in the abdomen just before noon Tuesday, the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

The sheriff's office later identified the masked intruder as 15-year-old Otilio Rubio, of Davenport, and his accomplice as William Murphy, 16, of Lake Hamilton. Rubio is in critical condition and Murphy is in stable condition at Lakeland Regional Medical Center, the sheriff's office said.

Two other teenagers, who were behind the house at 1077 Merrimack Blvd. also were arrested. One is 17 and the second is 15.

Murphy and the unidentified teenagers were charged with burglary of an occupied dwelling. The unidentified teenagers were transported to the juvenile assessment center.

Rubio, who hasn't been charged yet, has an arrest record that started in 2005. He was been arrested for larceny, criminal mischief, residential burglary and burglary, the sheriff's office said.

Oyola-Aponte, 37, and Cintron-Rivera, 38, weren't injured. However, investigators searched the house and found narcotics. Oyola-Aponte was arrested and charged with possession of narcotics, the sheriff's office said.
Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said he didn't know whether the teenagers were armed.

"You have the right to be safe and secure in your home," Judd said. "And if somebody chooses to break into your home, wearing a mask, you can defend yourself."
