What is this guy thinking? I dont understand it, hes acting like giving marijuana to a 2 year old and 5 year old is no big deal! Check out the video of the interview with this guy:
WATAUGA, Texas — A 17-year-old faces a felony charge of injury to a child after police found a videotape that appears to show him and another man teaching his 2- and 5-year-old nephews to smoke marijuana, police said. The video shows two children being taught to smoke marijuana and the men encouraging them to “get high,” police said. A man can be seen placing a marijuana cigarette into a baby’s mouth and, in another part of the video, a different boy is shown smoking on his own.
“The video contains disturbing images of the young children being badgered into smoking a marijuana cigar, commonly referred to as a ‘blunt,’” according to a release from the Watauga Department of Public Safety.
The bail for Demetris McCoy, 17, was set at $150,000. He remained in jail Friday night, police said.
Police found the video Feb. 22 while investigating McCoy and Vanswan Polty, 18, in connection with some area burglaries. Polty faces burglary charges and is free on $22,000 bail, according to court records.
The children have been in the custody of Child Protective Services since last week, a spokeswoman said.
A man in Hobart, Indiana, discovered that attempting to cash a check from God is much harder than taking candy from a baby. Twenty-one-year-old Kevin Russell was arrested on February 26 after he tried to cash a check for $50,000 at the Chase Bank there that was signed, “King Savior, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Servant,†according to Hobart police Detective Jeff White.
Russell was charged with one count of attempted check fraud and one count of intimidation, which are both felonies, and one count of resisting law enforcement, which is a misdemeanor. He could face time in the slammer.
The cops were called to the bank after Russell attempted to cash the supposedly-divine check, which was written on an invalid Bank One check with no imprint, White said. Russell had several other checks with him that were signed in the same manner but made out with different dollar amounts, including one for $100,000.
Russell struggled with police as they tried to arrest him, White said, and then threatened them as they transported him to the Hobart Police Department.
“I’ve heard about God giving out eternal life, but this is the first time I’ve heard of him giving out cash,†White said.
A court date has yet to be set for Russell. As of this writing, he is being held at the Lake County Jail on $1,000 bail. Here’s hoping that he gets the money from someone besides God.
ACWORTH, Georgia (AP) — Georgia authorities Wednesday were searching for two young women, possibly teenagers, who robbed a supermarket bank branch, laughing as they held up a teller with nothing but sunglasses to disguise their faces.
The two handed a Bank of America branch teller a note demanding cash, smiled as they waited and then walked out with stolen money Tuesday, police said.
It wasn’t clear if they had a weapon, police said.
Their images, captured on bank surveillance video during the 12:15 p.m. robbery Tuesday, were released by police and already had led to several tips, Cobb County police spokesman officer Wayne Delk said.
Authorities have not said how much money was taken, but Delk said it is “considerable.”
Police said the two could be as young as 16. Witnesses were unable to tell investigators whether they left in a car.
The store is in a strip mall in an upscale west Cobb residential neighborhood, about 28 miles north of Atlanta.
Delk said one of the girls appears to be laughing in a bank surveillance camera image — as though “it’s all fun and games to them.”
Wow, i found this article on CNN.com and had to post it! Unbelievable.
Police didn’t have much difficulty arresting two teenagers Friday who are accused of phoning in a bomb threat at Southwest Middle School.
That’s because the two teen boys - along with a third still being sought - used the telephone at the house they were burglarizing, but they didn’t call the school, police said.
They delivered the threat by dialing 911.
“This indicates they would have been better off in school rather than burglarizing someone’s house,” said Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police spokesman Sgt. Mike Wilson. “Clearly that was not the brightest plan.”
Two of the boys were in jail Friday night. Police were searching for the third.
Around 9 a.m. Friday, 911 dispatchers received the call reporting a bomb in the cafeteria at Southwest Middle School. As with any 911 call, those receiving it trace the call to its source. Officers rushed to the location of the call at The Oaks at Brandlewood apartment complex on Garrard Avenue.
They arrived to find the apartment had been broken into. Officers searched the neighborhood and spotted the three teenager boys, whose arms were full of jewelry, video game systems, DVDs and other electronics, Wilson said.
Officers attempted to stop the boys, but they ran back to the apartment complex.
Police chased and apprehended two of them - Pierre Brown, 17, and a 14-year-old Southwest Middle student. Police did not identify the 14-year-old because of his juvenile status.
As officers were searching the neighborhood for the third suspect, they found a second apartment burglarized, Wilson said. Moreover, there had been a break-in at a house on Sandlewood Drive.
Police believe the teens pried open the doors and ransacked the homes for anything of value.
The two boys who were arrested are charged with three counts of burglary. Campus Police plan to charge both with transmitting a false public alarm, which is a felony, said Bucky Burnsed, spokesman for the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System.
Pierre was being held in the Chatham County jail. The 14-year-old was taken to the Savannah Regional Youth Detention Center.
K-9s tracked the third suspect, but the dogs were unable to locate him. No description of the third boy was available.
However, the dogs did find more of the items stolen in the burglaries, which were returned to their owners, Wilson said.
Police said the two teens, who live in the neighborhood where the burglaries occurred, are being investigated in a string of other crimes in the area.
“We’ve seen a sharp increase in burglaries in West Chatham County within the last week,” Wilson said. “Both of the individuals caught (Friday) have extensive records for these types of crimes.”
Brown is not a student in the public school system. He was released from the detention center last month.
“This goes right to the heart of truancy,” Wilson said. “School-age children who are out and about during normal school hours are typically engaged in criminal activity. That’s why we take truancy so seriously.”
The phony bomb threat caused middle school students to miss almost three hours of classes while bomb-sniffing K-9s combed the hallways, Burnsed said.
Police found no evidence of any explosives.
Besides these teens, Campus Police have arrested 10 people so far this year on bomb threat charges.
Haha.. Perhaps these kids should stay in school. It couldnt hurt.
A school teacher has been arrested on suspicion of snorting cocaine in front of the class she was teaching.
Two girls, aged nine and ten, said they saw Joan Donatelli, 59, dipping a pen cap into a plastic bag filled with white powder, then putting it to her nose.
Police confronted the substitute teacher at her home in Lewiston, New York, after finding traces of white powder in the classroom, reports Metro.
She handed over a small bag of powder and two pen caps and admitting to using cocaine in front of the children.
“She stated that she had a problem, that she had an addiction, something she’s been struggling with,” said Sergeant Frank Previte.
The school confirmed that Donatelli used to teach at the school full time, but is now retired, and acts as a substitute.
SAN FRANCISCO — A convicted bank robber went on a crime spree just a week after being released from federal custody and was caught in part because he never changed out of the 1980s-style clothes - including a Members Only jacket — he was wearing when he was released from prison, San Francisco police said today.
Paul Paris, 54, was released from a halfway house Feb. 2 and proceeded to rob a Citibank branch at 4638 Mission St. on Feb. 9, said robbery Inspector Dan Gardner. The robber was caught on a surveillance camera wearing a Members Only jacket and a hairnet, Gardner said — the same clothes Paris had on when his probation officer photographed him the day he was released from prison.
“It’s classic – I’ve used this line before, but once a bank robber, always a bank robber,” Gardner said. “We had a great surveillance photo.”
The surveillance photo of the robber was distributed to local law-enforcement agencies, court records show, and U.S. Probation Officer Jennifer James recognized Paris in the picture.
Gardner secured an arrest warrant Tuesday, he said, but police hadn’t yet caught up to Paris when he allegedly struck another bank in Millbrae on Wednesday and a third bank in Folsom on Thursday.
Paris was taken into custody without incident at the Franciscan Hotel on Third Street around 3 a.m. today by officers from the Bayview Station, Gardner said.
Gardner would not say how much money the robber made off with in the thefts, but court records show he took $6,650 from the San Francisco Citibank.
Paris approached a bank teller and twice asked, “Do you know where I can get the Federal Express card?” FBI Special Agent Richard Anderson wrote in an affidavit filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco.
When the teller replied, “I’m not sure I know what you’re talking about,” Paris took out a small silver handgun from a backpack and said, “Give me the money!” the affidavit said.
After the teller handed over some money, Paris said, “Give me hundreds, fifties, twenties. Give me all your money!” Anderson wrote.
Paris threw back rubber bands that had been wrapped around the bills, saying, “I don’t need that!” the affidavit said.
NORTH KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A thief called to apologize after assaulting a robbery victim. Police said that on Christmas Eve, two masked men tied up a couple at Missouri Poster and Banner at 1331 Erie St., and beat the owner. A week later, someone called to apologize and returned some of the stolen items…
“I’m really sorry about the other night. It didn’t turn out anything like it was supposed to,” the caller said. Police said they hope the message will lead them to the culprits.Â
Aurora police have arrested an 18-year-old man suspected of impersonating a police officer and are searching for victims.
Christopher Steven Harris was arrested in a south Aurora neighborhood Friday afternoon.
A witness called police after he saw Harris pull over a burgundy sedan behind a Kohl’s department store near South Tower Road and East Hampden Avenue on Friday.
Harris was driving a grey Nissan with blue and red flashing lights on the dashboard and no rear license plate, police said.
The female driver of the burgundy car left after Harris stepped out of his car, and Harris drove out of the parking lot. She was able to direct police to Harris.
Harris was charged with impersonating a police officer, a class six felony. He was released on $2,000 bail. A marijuana pipe was found in his car.
Police would like information from the woman in the burgundy car and any other possible victims. Anyone with information is asked to call Detective Renee Grahn at 303-627-3167 or Sgt. Scott Newhouse at 303-627-3152.
