April 23, 2018 By June Harris Leave a Comment

County Commissioner Arrested for Prostitution

The county commissioner used his victims’ financial situation to his advantage.

A 71-year-old county commissioner is facing pressures to resign after he was arrested and convicted of soliciting sexual services in exchange for groceries and utility bills. Despite the Republican Party voting in favor of his resignation, the county commissioner has yet to step down from his office.

County Commissioner Carefully Selected His Victims, Police Officials Declared

Last week, 71-year-old Nick Nicholson, a Hernando County commissioner was arrested and charged with multiple counts of prostitution and physical abuse. Based on the police report, Nicholson approached two female victims and persuaded them into having sex in exchange for various services like paying their rent, rehabilitation bills, or money for grocery shopping.

Nicholson’s first victim is 30-year-old Valarie Surette of Hernando County. Learning that Surette was a drug addict, the county commissioner offered the woman a place to stay and grocery money in exchange for sex every other Monday and Wednesday.

More than that, the police report reveals that Nicholson allowed Surette and her husband to move into his home, where she continued offering the county commissioner sexual services in exchange for money. Nicholson would offer Surette $300 for having sex and even allowed her to bring outside clients.

Unfortunately, Surette was far from being Nicholson’s only victim. Melinda Baker, a 38-year-old Hernando County resident, told the authorities that she got a similar deal from the county commissioner.

In exchange for sex every other Tuesday and Saturday, the man would help her with her drug rehab bills. The authorities were notified by Nicholson’s neighbors who declared that everyday cars would pull in front of the man’s house.

Conclusion

The man’s victims reveal that Nicholson had an unusually high sexual appetite and would treat them as sexual slaves. Furthermore, the county commissioner was relying on his victims not contacting the authorities, given their financial situations.

April 12, 2018 By June Harris Leave a Comment

Virginia Man Posing as Cop Arrested

The Virginia man used a similar vehicle to follow the female driver over the weekend.

The Virginia authorities recently arrested a 28-year-old driver who, allegedly, impersonated a police officer to follow a female driver across three states over the weekend. A search of the car revealed that the Virginia man had just about anything he needed to maintain the illusion, the authorities noted.

Virginia Man Was Driving a Car Used to Shot a Music Video

According to the police report, on Saturday afternoon, a female driver, who wants to maintain her anonymity, called the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and told the deputies that a man driving what appeared to be a shady police car was tailing her.

The victim also claimed that the driver has been following her all weekend, as she passed through Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia. When asked to describe the vehicle and the driver, the woman told the police that the car was all white and had blue lights on top. She added that, at one point, the car’s driver used the lights to make his way through busy traffic.

According to the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, the car was pulled over later that day by a Warrenton, police deputy. The driver, later identified as 28-year-old Jerry Lentz Saintvil, allegedly gave the arresting officer a fake ID.

More than that, the man claimed that the vehicle, a 2010 Chevrolet Impala, was not his. Saintvil declared that the car belongs to a movie company which recently used it to shot a music video. Indeed, as the authorities noted, the car had the word “police” written on its bank and front port and blue lights on top.

Conclusion

When confronted with tailgating the female driver, the Virginia man stated that he was driving home. A search of his vehicle revealed several police equipment lookalikes such as an airsoft gun, a tactical vest, a uniform, and a portable radio.

Phoenix Woman Nabbed by Cops after Tasing Her Son Up

April 3, 2018 By June Harris Leave a Comment

Phoenix Woman Arrested for Tasing Lazy Son

The Phoenix woman used a similar Taser to wake up her son for church on Easter.

There will always be arguing between parents and teens who spend too much time in bed, but not all of them end with a trip to the police station. A Phoenix mother was recently charged with one count of child abuse after she admitted using a Taser on her teen son who refused to wake up and attend church on Easter.

Phoenix Woman Claims that Taser Never Touched Her Son’s Leg

On early Sunday morning, the Maricopa County sheriff’s deputies were summoned to 40-year-old Sharron Dobbins’ home by a 17-year-old male who claimed his mother attacked him with a Taser.

When the deputies arrived at the Phoenix woman’s house, Dobbins told them her version of the Taser story. Allegedly, the woman and her teenage son, one 17 years of age, agreed a night before that they will all attend the church’s services on Easter.

Dobbins claims that his teenage son was up partying all night with some of his friends who she invited to stay over. Upon entering her son’s room, the Phoenix woman told her son to get up, get dressed, and ask his friends to leave as they were late for church.

The teen told his mother that his friends are not to leave and that he will not accompany her to church. Irked by her son talking back to her, the woman went to another area of the house from where she retrieved a Taser.

Conclusion

This is the point where the story diverges. According to the mother’s testimony, she entered her son’s room with Taser in hands, but she claims never touching his leg, only making ‘the sound.’ Whereas the 17-year-old man states that the woman Tasered him at least two times before calling the authorities.

The medical examination seems to favor the man’s account, as two small lumps were discovered on his leg.

March 16, 2018 By June Harris Leave a Comment

Christian School Administrator Arrested

The private Christian school administrator brandished a knife before two preschoolers.

The New Jersey authorities recently arrested a 64-year-old private Christian school administrator and charged her with two counts of child endangerment and cruelty towards children. According to the woman’s arrest warrant, the administrator has been accused of threatening to stab two 4-year-old children because they’ve misbehaved.

Christian School Administrator Might Face up to Three Years in Prison

Last week, the New Jersey authorities arrested 64-year-old Adetokunbo Akinnaso, Sicklerville resident and the administrator of private Christian preschool Dawn to Dusk Christian Childcare and Learning Center.

According to the official police record, the alleged event happened last week, and it involved two 4-year-old students. The two preschoolers were brought to Akinnaso’s office by one of their teachers who told the woman that the two misbehaved.

After being left alone with the misbehaving students, the woman took out a knife from her desk and threatened to stab them should they be out of order again. The two students were sent home and told their parents all about the incident with the private Christian school administrator.

Following the police complaint, the 64-year-old was arrested and charged with endangering a minor’s welfare and cruelty towards children. If the woman is found guilty, she might serve up to four years in prison.

Fortunately, none of the students involved in the incident were harmed. Ronald Bolandi, the school’s interim superintendent, declared that the disciplinary board is currently reviewing the facts in Akinnaso’s case and will take the appropriate actions.

Surprisingly, the woman has been teaching at the privately-owned school for the past few decades but had no disciplinary record.

At the moment, the former Christian school administrator has been booked into county jail and await her trial. The latest police record indicates that the woman is currently looking for an attorney to represent her in court.

Florida Man Takes Pictures of Wife’s Corpse, Tells Police She Ran Off from Home

March 6, 2018 By June Harris Leave a Comment

Florida Man arrested.

Sheriff’s deputies found gruesome pictures on phone belonging to Florida man who said his wife ran away from home.

The Marion County Sheriff’s Office recently arrested a 47-year-old Florida man in connection with the disappearance and murder of 41-year-old Chrystal Terry, his wife. Although the authorities have yet to discover the victim’s body, the man has been formally charged with second-degree murder and possession of a firearm by convicted felon.

Disturbing Images Discovered on Phone Belonging to Florida Man

A Marion County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson declared that 47-year-old Vincent Terry was recently arrested and charged with second-degree murder. The man is suspected of killing and hiding his wife’s body.

On the 8th of January, Terry called the authorities and declared that his wife ran away from home. Allegedly, the woman left in such a hurry that she forgot her cell phone, purse, and the medication she was taking.

The authorities discovered that the man’s statements might be false, after discovering a message on Chrystal’s cell phone. Terry told the investigators that his wife left in a hurry at around 9:30 a.m. without her phone but, two hours later, the woman wrote a friend to call the police and to come and pick her up.

Further investigations revealed that Terry’s phone contained disturbing pictures depicting a naked woman, most likely his ‘missing wife,’ with a swollen face and what appeared to be a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

The Florida man denied killing his wife and told the authorities that she took pictures of his wife while she was sleeping to show her how she looks like after taking drugs.

Conclusion

Despite cadaver dogs being unable to discovered anything in the vicinity of Terry’s home, forensic experts detected faint traces of blood in the house which the man probably tried to wash off after committing the murder.

Vincent was later taken into custody and formally charged with second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by convicted felon, and 53 other counts related to ammunition.

Russian Femme Fatale Accused of Poisoning Doppelganger with Cheesecake to Steal Identity

March 1, 2018 By June Harris Leave a Comment

Russian Femme Fatale Arrested

New York authorities said Russian femme fatale was wanted for the murder of a 54-year-old woman.

The New York authorities recently arrested a 42-year-old Russian femme fatale believed to have orchestrated the death of her close friend in an attempt to steal her identity and valuables. According to the woman’s arrest warrant, she recently fled from Russia to New York, where she was investigated in the murder of another woman.

Russian Femme Fatale Managed to Seduce Detective in Charge of Her Case

Last week, the New York authorities arrested 42-year-old Viktoria Nasyrova, a Russian femme fatale and charged her with several counts including burglary, reckless endangerment, and attempted murder. According to Nasyrova’s arrest warrant, on the 28th of August 2016, while visiting a friend, later identified as Olga Tsvyk, at her Forrest Hill house, she plotted to murder her and steal her documents.

The authorities noted that Nasyvora’s plan was based on the fact that she bore a striking resemblance to the victim, having the same hair color and facial feature. Knowing that her victim was fond of sweets, especially cheesecake, Nasyrova brought a cake laced with phenazepam, a potent tranquilizer.

After taking a few bites from the tainted cake, Tsvyk collapsed. The Russian femme fatale placed her friend’s body on the bed and, allegedly, emptied the contents of several pill bottles around Tsvyk to make it look like the woman committed suicide.

Before leaving her house, Nasyrova stole the victim’s passport, work credentials, and jewelry. The woman was later discovered by one of her friends who took her to the hospital. Fortunately, the doctors were able to reverse the effects of the tranquilizer.

Tsvyk told the authorities about her encounter with Nasyvora. The woman was arrested several days later. Court documents suggest that the woman fled Russia where she was wanted for the murder of a 54-year-old woman. Furthermore, it would appear that the woman managed to stay below the radar after she seduced an American detective who was charged with investigating the Russian femme fatale’s connection to the Russian murder.

Munhall pastor arrested

Munhall pastor prepared to swear on Bible that he did not touch the naked man in his car.

Pennsylvania authorities have recently arrested a Munhall pastor and charged him with public lewdness and indecent exposure. The man of the cloth was caught harboring a bounded naked man in his personal vehicle. When confronted, the pastor denied anything happening between them, saying that he merely helped the man get over his drug addiction.

Munhall Pastor Said Naked and Bound Man is a Drug-Addicted Parishioner

George Nelson Gregory, a 61-year-old Munhall pastor, was recently taken in police custody after the authorities caught the pastor talking to a man that stood completely naked in his vehicle.

According to the Munhall Police Department, the event began to unfold on Friday, at approximately 11:30 p.m. A caller dialed the emergency line and told the operator that a suspicious vehicle was parked outside a Homestead home.

The authorities went to investigate only to find two men, one inside the vehicle completely naked and restrained with ropes and the other one standing right outside the car. Later, the second individual was identified as the 61-year-old Munhall pastor George Nelson Gregory.

When confronted by the authorities, Gregory was prepared to swear on a ‘stack of Bible’ that nothing has happened between him and the individual who stood naked in his car. Following his police interview, the Munhall pastor changed his statement saying that the meeting was ‘consensual’ and that the individual tried to seduce him.

Conclusion

Later that day, the pastor told the authorities that the man was actually one of his parishioners who’s been trying to overcome his long-term drug addiction. More than that, according to Gregory’s statement, the whole naked and bound routine was all part of the pastor’s plan to persuade his parishioners to give up drugs.

Gregory was booked into county jail and charged with public lewdness and indecent exposure.

Woodpeckers Not Invulnerable to Brain Damage, New Study Suggests

February 6, 2018 By June Harris Leave a Comment

Woodpeckers and CTE

Woodpeckers show the same amount of Tau proteins as patients diagnosed with CTE.

Whereas previous studies found out that woodpeckers have evolved to the point that they didn’t suffer brain damage from banging their heads against trees, a new study challenges this theory. Brain scans performed on these curious birds revealed that their brains contain the same amount of Tau protein similar to that of patients with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

Woodpeckers as Predisposed to Brain Damage as Professional Football Players

During the late ‘70s, woodpeckers were extensively studied, especially for their capacity of casually banging their heads against trees for hours at an end.  At 1976 study concluded that woodpeckers could not sustain any brain damage, as they’re evolved certain traits that helped them sustained repeated hits.

However, a recent study featuring the same goofy critter revealed that woodpeckers are not invulnerable to brain damages and are, in fact, as predisposed to them as professional football players.

This recent discovery comes all the way from Boston University, where a team concluded that the birds are not as though as we’ve previously believed. During the study, a team of scientists took brain scans of 10 woodpeckers belonging to different species such as the yellow-bellied sapsucker and the northern flicker which they’ve compared to other non-tree-banging species, which served as a control group for the study.

The scans revealed a significant amount of Tau proteins inside the birds’ brain, proteins which in humans is the primary indicator of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy or CTE. According to the latest studies, CTE is usually diagnosed in individuals who have sustained repeated hits to the head such as professional football players and boxers.

Wrap-up

The study, which was recently published in the PLOS One journal, concludes by saying that brain similarities in terms of Tau protein accretion will help doctors better understand and treat patients with Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

Newark Man Arrested for Road Rage Incident

January 26, 2018 By June Harris Leave a Comment

Road Rage and dogs.

Newark authorities involved in road rage accident.
