Police get a grip on serial masturbator
Police near the southern Swedish town of Sävsjö answered to a rather unusual call on Wednesday night. A woman had notified police after she discovered a man masturbating in a stairwell.Police arrived on the scene to apprehend the naked man, placing him in their patrol car.But the man continued with his manual labour from the cruiser’s back seat, TV4 reports.During the roughly 40 minute drive back to the station in the neighboring town of Nässjö, the man continued to feel his way around, prompting police to check their records for other cases of incessant self-gratification.Police soon discovered that the man was known to authorities in the region for holding his own in different churches and other public places.
they should have drove him out to the woods and put a bullet in he back of his head. yes, of course, while he masturbated. the gene pool needs a skimmer run through it.....

$140k in cash stolen from Tyson chair
, Ark. - A college student was arrested in the theft of a briefcase containing more than $140,000 from the home of the chairman of meat processing giant Tyson Foods Inc., police said.
Ryan Silvey, 19, was arrested in Olathe, Kan., by the FBI Fugitive Task Force, the Johnson Police Department said. He was taken back to Arkansas to answer a theft charge and was being held in lieu of $50,000 bond Saturday at the Washington County jail.
The briefcase was stolen during a party thrown by John Tyson's daughter at the family's home in Johnson around Dec. 27 without his knowledge or consent, police said. Silvey and another friend were uninvited guests who acted suspicious while looking around the house, police said.
Tyson reported the theft Jan. 2, saying he had collected the money over time and had it hidden in the house.
"I regret this happened and it saddens me, but I'm very grateful to our local police team for all the great work they did to get this resolved," Tyson said in statement. "I have certainly learned a lesson through this ordeal and will never leave cash in my house again."
Police say they have recovered some of the money.
The jail did not have any attorney information for Silvey, who is the son of Steve Silvey, head track coach at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The senior Silvey was the assistant sprint coach at University of Arkansas from 1994 through 2000.
Silvey said he heard about the arrest Saturday morning and was "very disappointed, very shocked." Ryan Silvey lives with his mother in Fayetteville, Ark., he said. "We're not very close," he said.
Another man, Logan Lorenz, 23, was arrested on a theft charge and released Friday, police said. Police say they are still seeking Bryce Kelly Anderson, 19.
It was not clear whether either man had an attorney. An officer at the Johnson Police Department referred questions Saturday to Detective Denny Upton, who could not be reached for comment.
Tyson, 54, took over as Tyson's chairman in 1998 and was chief executive from 2001 to 2006. He led the 2001 merger with meatpacking giant IBP Inc. that made Tyson Foods the world's largest meat processor.
does anyone care to know what this guy was doing with a briefcase full of cash in the first place? no? just me, huh? ok.......

Ex-Homecoming Queen Beats Sister With Fake Leg In Trailer
NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa. - A former homecoming queen is facing a slew of charges Thursday, accused of attacking her sister with a prosthetic leg and then threatening to burn down a neighbor's home. Not long after graduating from Norwin High School, drama began for Donna Sturkie-Anthony.
The ex-homecoming queen had two DUI convictions in Allegheny County in 1991. One was in Rankin, where police said she was so drunk she smeared her feces in the back of a police car. Anthony married and moved away in the late 1990s. But when she returned, she was arrested another half dozen times by North Huntingdon police, most recently last month.
Police said Anthony's sister came to visit her at her Route 30 trailer, and the two started arguing about her alcohol abuse. Then, police said Anthony pulled off her sister's prosthetic leg and beat her with it.
A month later, police said, Anthony stole her neighbor's telephone and then threatened to burn down their trailer if they testified against her.
In another incident, police said Anthony threw ground meat at her neighbor before she threatened to kick his pregnant daughter in the stomach.
"The police, they call for backup when they come up here to deal with her," said one neighbor who asked not to be identified. "They know who she is."
Anthony is being held without bond in the Westmoreland County Prison. Police said it's because she is a danger to others and herself.

isnt it enough that she made the headlines? do we really need to see the before and after pictures? what kind of woman beats another woman with her prosthetic leg? this woman sounds like a bad person. i'm sure shes bitter because as homecoming queen she never imagined that she would be living in a trailer. that can make anybody angry and on top of that shes a drunk. this spells classy for me.

Blind woman makes second bid for state acupuncture license
AUSTIN — A blind student of acupuncture is making a second request for a state license to practice the trade after being rejected last year because of her lack of vision.
The licensure committee of the Texas State Board of Acupuncture Examiners was set to rehear Juliana Cumbo's request for a license on Friday. She would be the first blind person to be issued a state license, board members said.
"I wanted to be more involved in health care ... and I thought it was a perfect profession for a blind person," Cumbo said of her decision to pursue acupuncture, a method of diagnosing, treating and preventing illness by placing thin needles along specific points on the body.
The 31-year-old practices as a graduate intern in the student clinic of the Academy of Oriental Medicine at Austin. She has earned a master's degree in acupuncture and Oriental medicine and passed the national board exams.
i would want to see this woman only slightly ahead of the drunken nun with an eye patch and a bullwhip. a blind acupuncturist..........where will this go wrong.

Md. Judge Reprimanded for Calling Three Black Female Lawyers 'the Supremes'
A county judge was reprimanded for calling three black female lawyers "the Supremes" in court and advising the defendant to get "an experienced male attorney."
Washington County Circuit Judge W. Kennedy Boone has acknowledged that his comments suggested racial and sexual bias. In his written response to a complaint, Boone said he was trying to protect the three public defenders from representing a difficult defendant.
The Maryland Commission on Judicial Disabilities concluded the comments Boone made during a court hearing last April were "undignified and disparaging." The notice of reprimand was published Jan. 18 in the Maryland Register.
A stipulation by Boone and the Commission said that in June the judge offered to recuse himself from other cases the three attorneys handled.
Offering to recuse himself was the right thing to do, said Maryland Public Defender Nancy Forster, who filed the complaint in her official capacity.
Boone told the Herald-Mail of Hagerstown that he apologized to the three attorneys and that even though he offered to recuse himself, each has appeared in his court since the April case.
"I appreciate their acceptance of my apology," he told the newspaper Tuesday. He also said he had never before had a sanctionable complaint filed against him.
The defendant in the case pleaded guilty in June to assault and cocaine possession and was sentenced to eight years in prison.
he was right, you wouldnt be able to use the gender taunt against a man (though i guess the racial taunt might still be in play).

Conn. Man Nabbed After Marijuana Ad On Internet
STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) ― If you're looking to sell high-grade marijuana, Craigslist may not be the place to do it. A Bridgeport man learned that the hard way when the "buyer" who contacted him turned out to be an undercover officer, Stamford police said. Police said Steven Zahorsky, 24, posted an ad for "Mary Jane in Fairfield County." The ad offered a half-ounce of "A plus" marijuana for $220 and the same amount of "B plus" marijuana for $160. Stamford Lt. Jon Fontneau said officers spotted the ad and responded, claiming to be a painting crew interested in buying drugs during a work break. Zahorsky allegedly agreed to sell three-quarters of an ounce of marijuana at an Interstate 95 rest stop, Fontneau said. Police said they arrived Wednesday afternoon and called Zahorsky's cell phone. He answered and agreed to meet at the rest stop McDonald's in 15 minutes. Zahorsky allegedly stopped at the undercover officer's car and took $320 in cash in exchange for the marijuana, police said. When Stamford and Darien officers arrested Zahorsky, he claimed he was at the McDonald's to eat and had no idea why police were arresting him, Fontneau said. He said police found $320 on Zahorsky and the undercover officer's number on his cell phone. They searched Zahorsky's Bridgeport apartment and found three bags of marijuana and one bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms, along with a shotgun, ammunition and a digital scale, Fontneau said. Zahorsky was charged with several drug charges and released on $10,000 bond. He is due back in Stamford Superior Court on Feb. 13. No one answered the phone at a number listed for Zahorsky.

Man arrested for setting girlfriend on fire
ATHENS, Ga. --A man has been arrested after his girlfriend was doused in gasoline and set on fire.
Brenda Marie Sims, 27, was brought to the hospital Wednesday with burns to her mouth, nose and upper body, police said.
Police believe Sims and her boyfriend, Vernell Garrett, got into an argument because Sims would not give him money to buy crack cocaine. When she refused, Garrett got a can of gasoline, poured it on her and set her on fire with a cigarette lighter, police said.
Sims' shirt and bra caught on fire. She took them off, ran to a neighbor's apartment and was driven to the hospital.
Garrett, 38, was arrested in the hospital emergency room visitor's lounge after he showed up with the couple's two children. He has been charged with aggravated assault, aggravated battery and two counts of third-degree child cruelty.
"I haven't ever seen anything like it," Athens-Clarke County police Capt. Clarence Holeman said. "I have experienced people throwing hot water on people, but I hadn't actually seen someone set on fire. Obviously, Mr. Garrett has some serious problems."
Police leveled child cruelty charges against Garrett because the couple's two daughters witnessed the attack, police said.
Garrett had been arrested less than three months ago for fighting with Sims in the street. He was charged Nov. 27 with simple battery under the Family Violence Act and released on a $1,500 bond.
Sims was transferred Wednesday night to Augusta's Joseph M. Still Burn Center, where she received skin grafts Thursday, police said. Her mother took custody of the couple's daughters, police said.
what a unique way of breaking up. a simple call would have got him labeled as insensitive. this one needs a bullet to the head.

Sausage Man Arrested, Cart Towed From Dump
DERRY, N.H. -- A Derry man has been arrested for selling sausages at the town transfer station, after being ordered not to do business there.
The town administrator had told Thomas Souhlaris he couldn't set up shop at the dump. He was arrested Thursday on a trespassing charge and his food stand was towed away.
Souhlaris had been selling sausages, hotdogs and other food at a traffic circle, but moved to the transfer station last month when snowbanks started blocking his way. Town Administrator Gary Stenhouse said he was concerned about liability issues and the possibility of other vendors showing up at the dump.
can you really be that worried that other vendors will show up at the dump? it also begs the question...what does this towns market district look like that the dump seems like the place to go?

Woman Attacked With Cue Ball In Taco Bell Drive-Through
MASSILLON, Ohio -- A woman is recovering after being attacked while going through a Taco Bell drive-through in Massillon.
Police said another woman attacked Georgia Gugliuzza on Thursday morning, using a cue ball as a weapon.
Tiffany Brown has been arrested and charged in connection with the attack.
Gugliuzza's fiance, Frank Loder, said he is still in shock about what happened.
"It was unbelievable. I couldn't believe something like that could happen," said Loder.
According to police, after the women screamed at each other from inside of their cars, Brown allegedly got out of her car with a billiard ball inside of a sock and hit Gugliuzza with it four times.
Massillon Police Sgt. Thomas Minarcheck said he is baffled by the case and police are continuing their investigation.
"I don't understand how you can become that impatient while you're in line at Taco Bell," he said.
Police said it was that lack of patience that sparked the random and brutal attack.
They said Brown was mad at Gugliuzza for taking too long while she was ordering.
Loder said his fiancee lost a couple of teeth, had to get three staples in her head and sustained some bad bruises to her face.
Police said Brown was drinking the night of the alleged attack. She is currently in jail and is charged with driving under the influence and felonious assault.

Coach suspected of relationship with player
A Desert Edge High School girls' coach has been arrested on suspicion of having a sexual relationship with one of her students over the past year, Goodyear police said Tuesday. Basketball and volleyball coach Susan Jayne Anderson, 28, was arrested Monday night at her home in Goodyear's Estrella community, police said. She is accused of carrying on an ongoing sexual relationship with a 16-year-old girl she coached, police said."We believe that this started when the student was 15," said John Rowan, a police spokesman.
probable cause statement filed Monday with the Estrella Mountain Justice Court shows Anderson told police she "chose and targeted" the victim because of the girl's low self-esteem. According to the document:• Police found phone records that showed the suspect and the victim were having daily, hourlong talks and had exchanged "thousands" of text messages since December. They were also communicating via the social networking Web site myspace.com • The victim reported the suspect had taken her home after sporting events and practices, and that they had kissed up to four times on those occasions.• The victim told police she had sexual contact with the suspect on Jan..20 at the coach's home.Anderson had coached for Goodyear's Desert Edge since 2004 and passed a background check when she was hired, according to Eleanor Andersen, an Agua Fria Union High School spokeswoman.Anderson also is a first-year fitness teacher at Centerra Mirage Elementary School in Goodyear, said Cathy Stafford, superintendent for the Avondale Elementary School district. Both districts said Anderson is on administrative leave. They said there is no history of similar complaints against her.Anderson is being held in a Maricopa County jail on $18,000 bond. Rowan, the police spokesman, said a family member became suspicious and contacted police. Detectives say there could be additional victims.
i know , none of you pervs are upset because its two chicks (sorry about that if you actually are offended). for the coach this had to be like going to an all you can eat buffet...so to speak.
'Deadbeat Dad' Runs for Office in Chicago
An alleged Illinois deadbeat dad whose ex-wife says he owes more than $82,000 in unpaid child support is running as a candidate for Ward 47 Republican Committeeman in Chicago, MyFOXChicago reports.
Marie Karlin said she has been trying to locate her ex-husband, Gary Karlin, after he disappeared 14 years ago. He paid her child support for a few months, but after he took off, Marie's parents had to help support her and her now 16-year-old daughter.
Every few months, she would Google Gary's name to see if she could find him, and, last month, she was stunned to discover he was running for office under "conservative" values.
"I was in shock," Marie told MyFOXChicago.
If there's one vote Gary can't count on, it's one from his ex-wife.
"I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him," Marie told MyFOXChicago.
i find this to be typical of people with "conservative values". it almost never means they have conservative values they just want you to have them. hey, i hope he wins so she can go after him for the cash.

Sewickley Group Sends Super Bowl Losers' 19-0 Gear To Needy
SEWICKLEY, Pa. -- New York Giants Super Bowl XLII gear is flying off shelves, but what happens to the losing New England Patriots' merchandise?
Shirts, sweatshirts and hats, all printed with the Patriots as the Super Bowl winners, arrived at the World Vision warehouse in Sewickley on Tuesday.
Many of the shirts say "19-0" -- a reference to the Pats' quest for a perfect record. Instead, the Giants' victory ended the AFC champions' season at 18-1.
The losers' gear will be packed and sent to third-world countries by World Vision, which works to improve the lives of poor children in more than 100 countries.
doesnt living in a third world country make you a loser already? do these kids need the stigma of the patriots on them too?

Driving ban for 'look, no hands' policeman who raced past speed camera at 73mph with thumbs up
A policeman was banned from driving yesterday for a crazy 70mph stunt during a 999 call in which he took both hands off the steering wheel to give a thumbs-up to a speed camera.
PC David Mayes, 34, repeated the performance just over an hour later on a second emergency call.
He posed twice to the same camera in a 40mph built-up area, the first time driving at 68mph and the second, 73mph. The married father of two has been removed from frontline duties but is still in his job, though he faces an internal inquiry and could be sacked.
Last night road safety campaigners expressed outrage at his behaviour.
Lorna Jackson, of the charity Brake, said: "It goes to show that the culture of excessive speed and disregard for the lives of others extends to some police officers - many of whom regularly work with the tragic consequences of such behaviour and should know better.
"This man's actions have undermined the good work that the vast majority of police do."
Mayes, a police officer for eight years, was driving with two different colleagues when he answered the 999 calls in Sheffield in the early hours of July 26 last year. The first was in relation to an abandoned car and the second to the theft of some lead.
"He was legitimately driving at these speeds," prosecutor Malcolm Christy told Halifax magistrates. "It's the lack of care, not the speed. On both occasions his hands are off the wheel."
Tom Nutter, defending, said his client was full of remorse. "It was an episode of complete stupidity and his behaviour was wholly uncharacteristic," he said.
"His actions not only impact on his standing but on the South Yorkshire Constabulary and the police service as a whole."
The magistrates heard that Mayes was given three points on his driving licence last year for speeding off-duty. Yesterday he was banned from driving for for six months and fined £400 after admitting two charges of careless driving.
Magistrate Andrew Entwistle told him: "You exhibited a blatant disregard for the safety of other road users." Claire Armstrong, of Safe Speed said: "How fortunate for this officer that nothing worse came of this. Such behaviour from a policeman, to whom we should be able to look up and respect, only increases the already floundering respect with which the public perceive the police."
A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "His conduct fell well below what we and the public expect and he now faces misconduct proceedings. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated." Yesterday he was banned from driving for for six months and fined £400 after admitting two charges of careless driving.
Magistrate Andrew Entwistle told him: "You exhibited a blatant disregard for the safety of other road users."

A spokesman for South Yorkshire Police said: "His conduct fell well below what we and the public expect and he now faces misconduct proceedings. This type of behaviour will not be tolerated."
PC David Mayes, 34, repeated the performance just over an hour later on a second emergency call.
He posed twice to the same camera in a 40mph built-up area, the first time driving at 68mph and the second, 73mph. The married father of two has been removed from frontline duties but is still in his job, though he faces an internal inquiry and could be sacked.
Last night road safety campaigners expressed outrage at his behaviour.
Lorna Jackson, of the charity Brake, said: "It goes to show that the culture of excessive speed and disregard for the lives of others extends to some police officers - many of whom regularly work with the tragic consequences of such behaviour and should know better.
"This man's actions have undermined the good work that the vast majority of police do."
Mayes, a police officer for eight years, was driving with two different colleagues when he answered the 999 calls in Sheffield in the early hours of July 26 last year. The first was in relation to an abandoned car and the second to the theft of some lead.
"He was legitimately driving at these speeds," prosecutor Malcolm Christy told Halifax magistrates. "It's the lack of care, not the speed. On both occasions his hands are off the wheel."
Tom Nutter, defending, said his client was full of remorse. "It was an episode of complete stupidity and his behaviour was wholly uncharacteristic," he said.
"His actions not only impact on his standing but on the South Yorkshire Constabulary and the police service as a whole."
The magistrates heard that Mayes was given three points on his driving licence last year for speeding off-duty. Yesterday he was banned from driving for for six months and fined £400 after admitting two charges of careless driving.

1. its a great picture
2. he will have a great story to tell
3. he will become an internet star
the downside....maybe not the best career move
Wyo. cops: Food fight fries are missiles
LARAMIE, Wyo.—Three 13-year-old girls accused of throwing french fries during lunchtime at their school were cited for "hurling missiles," an adult infraction covered by city ordinances.

The principal of Laramie Junior High and a police officer had warned students during an assembly the day before the french fries' launch that if they threw food, they had to suffer the consequences, Police Chief Bob Deutsch said. The warning came after school officials had heard rumors of an impending food fight.
"They saw it as really the planning of a riot, when you think about it," Deutsch said.The girls decided to test the warning, he said.
"It wasn't a spontaneous thing -- a couple of kids giggling, throwing a french fry at each other," Deutsch said. "They intended on getting everybody involved in this and starting something that no doubt would have the potential of getting out of control."
Now, some observers are saying police and school officials went overboard, and even the American Civil Liberties Union weighed in.
"It certainly seems that this was an overreaction to a situation that could have been handled differently," said Linda Burt, Wyoming director of the ACLU.
The girls were also suspended for three days.
City prosecutor Ashley Castor didn't return phone messages left Thursday and Friday. Principal Steve Hoff declined to comment, and schools Superintendent Brian Recht did not return messages.
who says that exciting things dont happen in wyoming. it pains me to say that this country has lost all common sense.

Teens Unremorseful After Stealing From Girl Scout
BOYNTON BEACH, Fla. -- The State Attorney's Office will decide whether to charge two teens who admit they robbed a 9-year-old Girl Scout selling cookies outside of a Boynton Beach supermarket.
"I thought that it was a really mean thing to do, and I was sad after," Girl Scout Gracie Smith told WPBF News 25.
Authorities said that a 17-year-old girl in a hot-pink sweatshirt approached Smith outside of a Winn-Dixie supermarket at Hypoluxo and Jog roads in Boynton Beach Wednesday evening and asked the girl what her favorite cookies were. Police told WPBF that, while Smith was telling the teen about her favorite Cinna-Spins, the teen snatched an envelope containing about $167 off of Smith's table, hopped into another teen's car and drove away.Smith told WPBF that she turned to her mother in tears, saying, "Mommy! That girl took all my money!"
Authorities said they caught up with the 17-year-old girl Thursday and pulled her out of class at Park Vista High School, where she allegedly confessed to the crime, WPBF reported. Investigators said the girl's female accomplice, another a Park Vista student, also confessed.
The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office said that the case has been handed over to the State Attorney's Office to determine if charges will be filed against the teens.
Smith's mother, Charlene Rubenstrunk, told WPBF that the girls returned to the store Thursday to taunt her daughter.
"They are within 10 feet of the same kid they just robbed last night and there is nothing anybody can do about it. I find that offensive," Rubenstrunk said.
The girls, whose names are not being released because they are minors, told WPBF that they were not remorseful for the crime, and that they did it because they "needed money."
"We went through all that effort to get it, we got all these charges and we had to give the money back. I'm kind of pissed," one of the girls told WPBF.
The other girl told WPBF that she was upset because police found them.
"I'm not sorry, I'm just pissed that I got caught," the girl said.
Money collected from the cookie sales were supposed to go toward Smith's sleep-over trip with Troop 664 to the Miami Seaquarium. Police were unable to recover the stolen money, but a father of one of the teens accused in the crime paid the money back to Smith's mother, WPBF reported.
Authorities said the teens were not charged because they did not use force to steal the money, nor did they take the money from the Girl Scout’s hands.
The State Attorney's Office will decide if the teens will be charged.
The Winn-Dixie supermarket is donating $200 to the troop, WPBF reported.
sure theres something you can do. you can beat the shit out of the girls. hell, they have it coming. if it was my daughter i'd make her stand there and sell the cookies with the girl and then take any money the little bitch has and give it to the girl scouts. she might think twicew about being an asshole then.

Torrance woman charged in teen sex
A 38-year-old Torrance woman has been accused of having sex with a 16-year-old boy on five occasions last fall, authorities said Thursday.
Brenda Ann Mitchell was arraigned last Friday in the Torrance courthouse on five felony charges - one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor more than three years younger than her and four counts of oral copulation with a person under the age of 18.
Mitchell was ordered to return to court Feb. 8, when a date will be set for her preliminary hearing. She remains in county jail in Lynwood on $200,000 bail.
Torrance police spokesman Dave Crespin said Mitchell was taken into custody Jan. 23 when she came to the Torrance police station at the request of investigators.
"During the first week of December we received an anonymous call regarding an adult having sex with a minor," he said. "After gathering some information, detectives contacted the possible victim, who was a male juvenile. Through our investigation we determined a crime did occur."
Prosecutors allege Mitchell initially had intercourse Sept. 21 with the unidentified Torrance teenager and then engaged in oral sex with the boy later that month, in October, again in November and finally during the first
12 days of December. "At this point in the investigation we strongly feel this is the only victim," Crespin said.
Authorities did not disclose how Mitchell, a petite blue-eyed blonde, and the boy knew each other. We're not going to get into the actual particulars of the case," Crespin said. "We're just going to wait while it goes through the judicial process before we talk about it publicly."
Mitchell's attorney did not return calls seeking comment.
Torrance police declined to release a booking photo of Mitchell.
