Minutes, says

CBS. The 92-

year-old will

announce the move at the end of this

Sunday's essay, which the network notes

will be No. 1,097 since 1978. Though a

network fixture, Rooney has run into

repeated criticism that he's out of touch with

modern culture, notes the TVNewser blog.

"There's nobody like Andy and there

never will be," says CBS News chief Jeff

Fager. "His contributions to 60 Minutes are

immeasurable; he's also a great friend. It's

harder for him to do it every week, but he

will always have the ability to speak his

mind on 60 Minutes when the urge hits

him."

US Fugitive caught after

41 years in Portugal

Killer, hijacker George Wright

fighting extradition

This might be

the end of the

road for fugitive

George Wright,

but what a road

i t ' s b e e n .

A u t h o r i t i e s

arrested the 68-

y e a r -o l d i n

P o r t u g a l

yesterday after

41 years on the

lam. Even the

bare bones of his rap sheet nearly defy belief, as

CNN and AP recount: In 1962, he murdered a

gas station owner (a highly decorated WWII vet)

during a robbery; he escaped from prison in 1970

(reportedly by stealing the warden's car), then

went underground with the Black Liberation

Army.

In 1972, while dressed as a priest, he and

others hijacked a plane to Algiers (after making

FBI agents dress in bathing suits to deliver

ransom money).

Algeria returned the plane and money but

allowed the hijackers to disappear, which they

did with help from Black Panther activist

Eldridge Cleaver, who was living in the country.

Wright remained on the loose for four decades

until a dogged New Jersey corrections officer got

a lead (possibly because Wright contacted

relatives in the US) that resulted in his arrest.

Wright is fighting extradition back to the US.

One other tidbit: The 1972 hijacking led to

stricter airport security rules, requiring for the

first time that all passengers and their handbags

be screened.

Representative Rehwinkel Vasilinda

Files Death Penalty

Repealer Bill

SEPTEMBER 27, 2011 Tallahassee – Amid growing

concerns over the possible execution of

wrongfully convicted prisoners and the

exorbitant cost to the state, State Representative

Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda (D-Tallahassee)

has filed House Bill 4051, which would end the

death penalty in Florida.

"I'm not in the business of dispensing

vengeance. As a state representative, I am in the

business of making decisions to help keep

Floridians safe from crime while spending

taxpayer money prudently. HB 4051 will achieve both goals,‖ said

Representative Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda.

Executions are carried out at staggering cost to taxpayers. In its

2000 report, ―The High Price of Killing Killers,‖ the Palm Beach Post

found that Florida spent approximately $51 million each year to enforce

the death penalty.

―It cost at least $51 million a year and over 30 years to arrive at the

day of execution for Manuel Valle, who is scheduled to be put to death

by what may be Governor Scott's first signature on a death warrant.

With that $51 million we could put 850 law enforcement officers on

Florida's streets, as well as adding more FDLE investigators and

equipment to our arsenal against crime,‖ said Representative Rehwinkel

Vasilinda.

Life without parole is a sensible alternative to the death penalty.

Almost every state in the country now has life in prison without parole.

Unlike decades ago, a sentence of life without parole means exactly

what it says – convicts locked away in prison until they die. In reality, it

is much less expensive to keep a criminal in prison for life without

parole than it is for the state to execute them. A sentence of life in

prison without parole allows mistakes to be corrected or new evidence

to come to light. That would increase faith and fairness in our justice

system.

In addition, state sponsored executions have been unjustly applied;

innocent people have been killed; and each execution cause rifts in the

fabric of our civil society. All of this when we could be turning our

attention and spending our time and money toward solving our state's

many challenges. The recent protests and national concern over the

execution of Troy Davis is emblematic of the lack of trust more and

more people are demonstrating in the justice and accuracy of state

sponsored executions. That is not good for the respect and dignity for

the law.

"One of the underlying questions in the debate about state-sponsored

executions is what is the proper role and place of government? The

appropriate question for state government is how do we keep people

safe from crime in the most cost effective way? When you analyze the

numbers, state sponsored execution is not the correct answer," says Rep.

Rehwinkel Vasilinda.

Solyndra, “the future of green energy”

By Ron Hart

“an insane business model. The

numbers just don’t work, and

they never did.”

Peter Lynch, a solar industry

analyst on Solyndra

In 2008 and until an intervention in the

form of the 2010 elections, the Democrats had a

supermajority with the House, Senate and Presidency.

They looted the country like it was Katrina again,

knowing the cops would soon be there.

A part of that was a $535 million ―fast tracked‖ loan to

Solyndra that was sped up so Obama could visit them

and use them in a speech applaud himself. The loan was

denied under Bush.

Trumpeted by Obama as the future of green energy,

Solyndra, with accumulated losses of $558 million in its

five-year existence, filed bankruptcy. Solyndra went

broke leaving us tax payers with the bill, so I guess

Obama was right, that is the future of his deals.

We learned that community organizing is not the best

training to be a venture capitalists. Solyndra’s solar

panels did not work well; turns out Snooki from The

Jersey Shore absorbs more sunlight. We could have

created more energy by burning our $535 million in one

dollar bills in a power plant. That technically is green-

back energy, so Obama can brag about that.

This is what happens with Chicago-style crony

capitalism. The business fails, the tax payers foot the bill

and political friend rack up. Ex- Mass. Gov. Weld will

do well too; he will charge $800 an hour to lawyer the

bankrupt company. It’s called reaching across the aisle.

Al Gore, a government employee for life, broke the

code on getting rich on this green energy scam.

Celebrity Networth says Gore has over $100 million.

The Purple Grape ….Disorderly On 09/24/2011 at 2019 hours,

I responded to 1121 Beck

Avenue, The Purple Grape, in

reference to a subject causing a

disturbance. Upon my arrival,

their was a couple sitting at a

t a b l e o u t s i d e t h i s

establishment. The witness

advised he was approached by

an intoxicated male subject

and he requested the subject to

leave him and his spouse

alone. The subject became

irate and began using profanity

and coming at the male in a

threatening manner. The male

stated the subject kept insisting

he knew martial arts and

continued to instigate a fight

with the witness. He stated the

owner of the establishment

came outside to intervene.

Officer Hammond pulled up

on scene prior to my arrival,

and witnessed the male subject

causing a disturbance by

yelling at the witness on the

sidewalk. I made contact with

the subject and he willingly

admitted he was under the

inf luence of a lcohol ic

beverages. I retrieved a pocket

knife attached to his belt and

another pocket knife in his left

pant pocket for our safety. The

subject was placed under arrest

for disorderly intoxication .

His wife arrived on scene and

retrieved his property prior to

me transporting him to the Bay

County Jail. He was then

transported to the jail and

turned over to their personnel.

Highway 98, (Omelet House),

in reference to subjects

involved in a physical

confrontation. Upon my

arrival, I made contact with

both subjects, in the parking

lot. They appeared to have

sustained minor injuries during

the fight. One subject advised

he threw the first punch due to

the other instigating a fight by

being loud and belligerent

towards him and others within

the business. They both agreed

to step outside to battle it out.

EMS was summoned due to a

laceration under one of the

subject's eye. Both subjects

stated neither one wanted to

prosecute for the charge of

battery. They shook hands and

apologized to one another,

when all was said and done.

SUSPICIOUS PERSON

Ofc. Patterson D

On 09-25-2011 I was on patrol

near the Macedonia Garden

Apartment complex. As I

pulled into the complex from

17th street I noticed a subject

sitting in the "C" building

breezeway. I further observed

him jerk his head toward me,

stand-up and rapidly walk west

through the breezeway. I

noticed this subject get onto a

bicycle and pedal toward the

Flower Avenue entrance . I

exited the complex and

positioned my patrol car on

Flower Avenue just south of

17th street as the subject was

travelling north on Flower

Avenue from the Macedonia

entrance. I exited my car and

asked the subject to talk to me.

The subject said "I aint done

nothing" and began rapidly

pedaling away from me. I

began pursuing the subject on

foot west bound on 17th

Street. Just before the subject

approached Frankford Avenue,

Ofc. Harris arrived in his

patrol car. Ofc. Harris was

positioned next to the subject

with his lights and siren

activated in an attempt to stop

the subject. The subject bailed

off of his bicycle in the 2100

block of west 17th street. At

this time I was still running

about thirty yards behind the

subject and Ofc. Harris. I

observed Ofc. Harris and the

subject struggle for a brief

moment where the subject

broke free and continued to

run west bound. The subject

jumped a fence into the back

yard of 1701 Clay Avenue and

continued in an unknown

direction. Several other units

arrived in the area in an

attempt to locate this subject.

The bicycle was placed into

impound at the Panama City

Police department. Ofc. Harris

recovered a 22 caliber Ruger

handgun from when he

struggled with the subject. Ofc.

Harris turned this gun over to

this officer. The gun was found

to be stolen out of Escambia

County in 2001. The gun was

placed into evidence and will

be sent off for prints along

with the magazine and

ammunition. It is unknown at

this time as to the identity of

the subject.

Henry Davis Park;

1309 Roosevelt dr Alcohol Offense Ofc. Hildebrandt R

Myself and Deputy Coram

were on bike patrol in the area

of a city park, (Henry Davis

Park). We had received

several complaints from

residents in the area about

people hanging out in the park

and drinking alcohol. We

approached the park, I

observed 2 men sitting on the

picnic table inside the city

park. One of the men looked

up and saw us approaching.

I observed that male later

identified as Ronnie Mathis,

take a bottle wrapped in paper

bag that was sitting next to

him and place it on the ground

behind the table leg in attempt

to conceal it from my view. As

I approached the men, I

identified myself and the

reason for contact was his

suspicious activity, and my

belief that he was in

possession of alcohol, due to

his attempt to conceal the

bottle from my view. I advised

him being in possession of an

opened alcohol container

while inside a city park is

illegal. I observed the same

opened bottle that he had

attempted to conceal in plain

view on the ground behind the

table leg. There was no other

bottle on the ground in the

place he concealed his bottle. I

observed the pop top was off

and I could smell the odor of

alcohol coming from the bottle

and from Mathis breath. I

recovered the open bottle of

bud ice lager 5.5% alcohol by

volume beer and properly

disposed of it. That fact that he

attempted to conceal the beer

from us, supported the fact

that he knew alcohol was

illegal inside the park and that

he was committing a crime,

because if it was any other non

-alcohol beverage, he would

not have tried to conceal it. I

placed Mathis under arrest for

violating M.O. 3-3 which

prohibits one from possession

and open alcoholic beverage

while inside a city park. He

was then transported to the

Bay County Jail, where he was

charged accordingly.

On 9-23-2011 around 7:00

p.m. I was working an off-

duty detail at the Grocery

Outlet. I was approached by

the suspect who stated that he

had asked a subject for money

and he told him to get away

from him and the suspect felt

that the other person treated

him wrong. I advised him that

he did not need to be asking

for money. He stated that he

knew that. The other party

walked over and advised me

of what had took place but did

not wish any type of actions

be done. I advised the suspect

that he need to go find another

place to hang out for the night.

He began to walk away and

yelled at the employee "fxxx

you" and shot him a bird.

When the suspect did this

there were several small kids

walking out of the store. I

advised the suspect that he

was under arrest for disorderly

conduct. I completed all

paperwork on the suspect and

he was transported to the Bay

County Jail

Narrative On 09-23-2011 at approx. 2145

hours a physical altercation took place in

front of Tommy Oliver Stadium between

XXXXXX and Leverett. The two were

separated by Deputies Page and Lupica.

Both were taken into custody. Their

actions caused a major disturbance and

minutes to

disburse the

crowd…...

During the altercation a 2007 Gray

Ford Expedition owned by Cain was

damaged. The passenger door and fender

was scratched and dented.

I made contact with XXXXXXXX out

front. XXXXXXXX said he saw some

dude come up to him, who looked like he

wanted to fight. XXXXXXXX said so I

started swinging first. XXXXXXXX said,

XXXXXX jumped in to defend him.

While talking with XXXXXXXX another

fight started on 13th Street.

I made contact with Rogers, sister of

XXXXXX. She said that she saw a large

group of bay High School JV Football

players swarming out the gate. Rogers

said she new there was about to be a fight.

She saw Marcus Leverett approaching her

brother/ XXXXXX. She tried to intervene

when the two started fighting. I told her to

contact me Monday at school so I could

get a statement from her, because the area

had not been secured. Rogers said there

were others present trying to fight to "D"

and another.XXXXXX was turned over to

his mother Regina Biggs.

I made contact with Leverett, reading

h i m t h e M i r a n d a W a r n i n g /

Acknowledgement of right card. Leverett

said he understood his rights and was

willing to speak to me. Leverett said he

was going into the stadium to locate some

and the two started fighting. Leverett said

XXXXXX threw him into the parked

vehicle which caused the damage.

Leverett was charged with disorderly

conduct, case reference 2011-065117.

On 09-26-2011 I made contact with

XXXXXX and his mother in my office. I

explained to them the charges pending.

Regina Biggs said there were more

witnesses. I told her to have them contact

me at Bay High School and I would take a

sworn statement. Regina said XXXXXX

was holding a baby when the fight started.

The night of the incident Rogers said she

was holding the babies. Biggs said that

"Cito" (XXXX XXXXXXX) had

displayed a firearm in his belt that Rogers

saw. However Roger talked to me and

Sgt. Guilford that night and never

mentioned a firearm to either on of us.

Biggs wanted her son to provide a written

statement, but declined when I told her he

would need to sign a waiver of right form

first.

I made contact with XXXXXXXX and

his mother Katrina Biggs in my office. I

explained to her that by her sons own

admission 09-23-2011, he swung on the

other first. I told her I was not able to

confirm this at this time or he may be

looking at disorderly conduct charges.

She demanded her some write a

statement. XXXXXXXX started to write

a statement, and said that Leverette swung

on him first. When confronted about his

previous statement, he became angry, his

mother tore up the statement and declined

to provide a statement.

This case should be considered closed.

The suspect "Cito" was identified as

XXXX XXXXXXX. possible driving a

newer modal Chevy, small passenger type

car, like a VW. The suspect "D" was

identified as Deangelo Michael Otero.

Both were identified by Lynn Haven

The candy bar case Bay County Sheriff's Office Offense / Incident Report

Casenumber: 2011-065454 Reported On: 09/25/2011 @ 13:09

Location: 2117 SHERMAN AVE PANAMA CITY, FL 32405

Business Name: HILAND PARK BALL PAR

Testimony: FOUND THE OPEN DOOR TO THE CONCESSION STAND

Narrative On this date I responded to the Hiland Park Ball fields

in reference to a burglary of the concession stand. Upon arrival I

spoke to James Holt. James advised me he brought his kids to the

park to play and noticed the concession stand door was ajar. He

peeked in but did not see anyone. He then called the Sheriff's

Office to report there might be a burglary.

I went inside and noticed candy all over the floor along with

some cans of soda. The cabinet the cash register was on had been

pried open. It was apparent there were candy items missing as

there were blank spaces on the shelf. I went outside and observed

a picnic table pushed against the wall and what appeared to be

hand prints going into the open window. The window had bars

but there was plenty of room for a child to go in. I photographed

the immediate area including a shoe print in the dirt directly

under the picnic table.

I looked in the trash cans in the

park and started to find candy bar

boxes. At the picnic table near the

playground, I located three more boxes

and a debris trail where it appeared the

suspects were dropping things as they

left. Some of the chocolate was on the

ground and had not started to melt.

I also noted there were no ants on the spilled candy bars which

were unwrapped. I spoke to Deputy Duggins who arrived and he

said he was here a couple hours ago and observed a large group

of individuals playing baseball. I found the same shoe print along

with another distinct print near the picnic table. I followed the

shoe prints all the way to the back walking gate in patches of

sand onto E 19th place. The same distinct prints traveled along

this road to Sherman Ave then onto Gannon Circle where they

disappeared about 50 yards down the road in the dirt.

I returned to the concession and was later met by parks

worker Eddie Warren. He advised me he did not know if

anything was stolen or if the damaged cabinet was already like

that. I explained to him I located several empty boxes of candy

bars in the area and needed to determine if they were stolen. He

called someone else and advised me it would be Monday before

anyone could tell me anything. Dep Duggins dusted the cabinet

and windows for latents but found none that were usable.

Since Eddie was unable to help with the investigation and

there was not going to be anyone else enroute from the Parks

Dept, I gave him a case number and a list of items I needed such

as dollar amounts and items missing. The building was then re

secured. This case is pending.

Slain clerk laid to rest in Fort Myers FORT MYERS. All day Monday, Back Bay Market remained closed after this

weekend's deadly robbery. Outside the store family and friend lit candles in

memory of 29-year-old Muhammad Ali. His funeral service was held at 3pm

Monday afternoon at Lee Memorial Park in east Lee County. Ali was working

early Sunday morning at the convenient store on Ortiz Avenue, when two

men dressed in Halloween costumes robbed the store and seriously injured

Ali, who died a few hours later from his injuries.

Narrative On the above date and time I

was dispatched to 524 Mockingbird Dr in

reference to a Physical Altercation

involving several people. Cpl.BENNET,

Deputy PERRY, Deputy JACKSON and I

all arrived on scene.

Upon my arrival I made contact with

MEGAN HATCHELL who had been

battered. She had a black eye, several

abrasions and a bite on her back. As soon

as I started talking to her, WENDY

SNIPES was cussing and yelling advising

me to take her to jail. WENDY stated that

she grabbed LESLIE VANDYKE by the

hair and pulled her to the ground for

hitting her girlfriend MEGAN.

DEPUTY JACKSON and DEPUTY

PERRY was trying to get WENDY and

her mother NANCY JOHNSON under

control, who was yelling and cussing in

the street causing problems, and

interfering in the investigation.

I again tried to speak with MEGAN

who stated that a girl in a black tank top,

LESLIE, attacked her from out of no

where, and she believed that her babies

father, JONATHAN WESTON, set up

the attack. LESLIE is currently dating

JONATHAN.

MEGAN advised me that LESLIE has

been threatening her all night, however at

0100hrs JONATHAN called her wanting

to speak about their child. After dropping

WENDY off at her house on

Mockingbird Dr, she went next door to

JONATHANs and that's when she was

attacked.

I advised MEGAN that I didn't

understand why she went out in the street

to speak with JONATHAN about their

daughter at one in the morning knowing

that LESLIE was wanting to fight her

unless she went there looking for a fight.

MEGAN stated that she thought she had

to speak with JONATHAN since it was

about their daughter. MEGAN further

stated that she doesn't know how

JONATHAN got a bloody nose.

WENDY stated that her friend

MEGAN went over to speak with

JONATHAN when three people attacked

MEGAN so she jumped in to help. Her

story did not coincide with MEGANs and

it sounded as if she was not being honest

Mart and turned the vehicle off

he did not hear his Garmin Nuvi

GPS beep, which usually does.

He then looked on his

windsheild and noticed the

Garmin was not where he last

left it. His Garmin is always in

his vehicle and in a holder that is

attached to the windshield and

plugged into a cigarette lighter.

Mr. Crawford said he parked

his vehicle in front of his

apartment building, 208, around

1800 hours on 09/19/2011 and

did not go back to the vehicle

until 1800 hours on this date.

The vehicle did not appear to

have any signs of forced entry.

Mr. Crawford was not sure if he

locked his doors. After speaking

with Mr. Crawford about this

incident he returned to into his

apartment and I walked by his

vehicle to check if he locked it

after we had just looked inside.

The vehicle was not locked so I

locked it for him. It should be

noted that on this date at

approximately 1746 hours, a

resident of the Enclave

Apartments called the Lynn

Haven Police Department for 2

suspicious black males walking

through the parking lot looking

into vehicles. I responded to that

call but did not find anyone

matching that description

looking into vehicles.

The Garmin Nuvi 265T serial

number is 1RD009517. Dispatch

entered this information into

NCIC/FCIC as stolen property.

make it easier for me but it is not

100 % necessary. I have worked for the

City of Sparks Parks and Recreation in

the local hospital, Renown, working with

children. I have had numerous positions

in a daycare like setting so I know

Alabama Town Enacts

'Jesus or Jail' Plan

Misdemeanor offenders can choose between

church and jail

It's either Jesus or jail for small-time offenders in Bay

Minette, Alabama. Operation Restore Our Community is

kicking off there this week, giving misdemeanor offenders

the choice between a year of Sunday church services or fines

and jail, Raw Story reports. Pastors invented the program on

the presupposition that crime is caused by "the erosion of

family values and morals," the town's police chief says. "We

have children raising children and parents not instilling

values in young people."

Alabama's ACLU office calls the plan "blatantly

unconstitutional" and is "considering options for response." A

Think Progress writer notes that even conservative Justice

Antonin Scalia would condemn the plan for using the threat

of penalty to coerce participation in religion. But one pastor

rebuffed criticism, saying, "You show me somebody who

falls in love with Jesus, and I'll show you a person who won't

be a problem to society."

“cooking meth” September 26, 2011 The Washington

County Drug Task Force, consisting of the

Washington County Sheriff’s Office and

the Chipley Police Department, reports

the arrest of five people and the

d i s m a n t l i n g o f a n a c t i v e

methamphetamine lab at a home on

A Washington County Sheriff’s Office

deputy, acting off a tip, arrived at the

Houston Road residence in the early

morning hours of Monday, September

26th. WCDTF Investigators arrived on

scene to assist and consent was given by

the property owner to search the

residence.

Task Force investigators found five

suspects inside the home in the process

of “cooking meth”. In addition,

investigators found methamphetamines,

drug paraphernalia, and a “shake and

bake” bottle actively producing

methamphetamines. The house was

immediately cleared due to the volatile

nature of the meth lab and officers

trained in methamphetamine lab

dismantling were able to safely contain

and then remove the lab.

During the search, investigators also

found several bottles of what is commonly

referred to as “bi-layered liquid”. Bi-

layered liquid is the product you have

after the initial “cooking” process and

before you have your finished meth

product. Arrested and charged was:

On 09/23/2011 Deputies were

dispatched to a disturbance in

Highland View, when they

arrived they made contact with

the complainant who stated

that Christopher Allen Lee

w/m 29 was threatening him

and trying to get him to fight.

The deputy made contact with

Lee who was intoxicated and

continued to cause a

disturbance, Lee was arrested

for Disorderly Conduct and

Assault.

On 09/23/2011 Anita Jones

Bernardez b/f 50 was arrested

on a warrant for petty theft, it

was alleged that in May she

had taken some merchandise

from local dollar store.

On 09/23/2011 a vehicle

driven by Robert Curtis

Switzer w/m 29 was stopped

for failure to maintain his lane.

The deputy observed the

vehicle cross the center line

several times and also enter

the oncoming lane. When the

vehicle was stopped the

Switzer was asked to perform

several sobriety tests which he

did poorly on, no odor of an

alcohol beverage was noted on

Switzers breath. The deputy

did find a bottle of loratabs

that had been today, there

were 16 pills missing from the

bottle, Switzer was asked to

give urine same for testing and

refused.

On 09/24/2011 deputies were

dispatched to a disturbance that

had already occurred. They made

contact with Christopher Lee

Acree w/m 25 who stated that he

had stopped at his ex-wife’s home

and she had jumped on him

hitting with a beer bottle.

Deputies went to the ex-wife’s

home and spoke with her and

came to the home uninvited and

with me. WENDY also kept telling me to

take her to jail, and was out of control.

I then walked next door to

JONATHANs where I met him and

LESLIE. JONATHAN was covered in

blood from a busted nose and stated that

during the Battery, he tried to separate

LESLIE & MEGAN.

During that time MEGAN hit him

several times to the nose. JONATHAN

stated that he did not want to pursue

charges and he would not cooperate with

us in reference to the Battery.

JONATHAN and LESLIE both stated

that MEGAN had been threatening

LESLIE tonight. MEGAN came out in

front of the residence with what they

thought was a bat. LESLIE went and

spoke with MEGAN about her threatening

her. During that time MEGAN put the

wooden club in her face, then hit her in

the right arm with the club.

LESLIE advised me that after she was

hit with the weapon, she grabbed it and

grabbed MEGAN by the hair. She then

started defending herself by hitting

MEGAN to the face and she ended up

biting her on the back.

LESLIE then walked Cpl BENNET to

the side of the street where she recovered

the club that she was attacked with. The

club was collected and submitted into

evidence.

While we were questioning MEGAN

again with the new information, I asked

Deputy JACKSON to start clearing the

scene with people that did not to be here

as people were starting to show up.

It was starting to get out of control and

becoming a officer safety issue. Deputy

JACKSON spoke with WENDY and her

mother, who started cussing him. Both

WENDY and NANCY refused to comply

with a lawful command and was actively

interfering with an investigation.

I advised Deputy

JACKSON to arrest

WENDY. As WENDY was

being placed in restraints

NANCY became irate.

I then took control of

NANCY. As I was placing

her in restraints and trying to

transport her to the vehicle,

she turned on me while she

was screaming. ...CONTINUED ON PAGE 47

WOODEN BAT

FROM PAGE 11

I was unsure if NANCY was going to

bite me or spit on me. I immediately tried

to turn her around, however she weighed

over three-hundred pounds. I again tried

pushing on her to get her turned around.

Once at the vehicle she was still yelling.

I tried keeping control of her while I had

OC spray out. I advised her numerous

times to get into the vehicle or I would

spray her, NANCY finally got into the car.

Deputy JACKSON placed MEGAN in

his car and we then transported the three to

the Bay County Jail. Deputy PERRY

stayed behind taking photographs and

statements from the victim, LESLIE.

MEGAN was charged with Aggravated

Battery. WENDY was charged with

Battery and Resisting Officer with out

Violence. NANCY was charged with

Resisting Officer with out Violence.

It should be noted that it was later

learned that the club used in the

Aggravated Battery was stolen from

JONATHAN WESTON a week ago and

was documented. I will be following up to

confirm the theft on the club.

complaint. Upon arrival I spoke to Dorothy Agyei. She advised her ex boyfriend

with whom she lived with for six years as a family came to her residence this

morning, shoved her down and then got on top of her and pinned her down by

placing his hands on her neck. She identified the male as Jai Swinson.

According to Dorothy, she and Jai broke up about a month ago after she caught

him cheating on her. Jai moved out then back into the residence on Gay Ave for a

week before moving out for good.

Dorothy says all of Jai's belongings have been taken to his new residence.

According to Dorothy, she arrived home this morning and called a male friend to

come visit with her. After the male arrived Dorothy and the male were sitting

outside. A short while later Jai showed up with a black female Dorothy identified

as the one she caught him cheating with. Jai approached her and an argument

ensued about the other male being there.

Jai pulled and shoved at Dorothy until the neck

strap on her dress broke

and she fell to the ground.

Jai then got on

top of her and put

his hands around

her neck and

squeezed and told

her he will kill her if

he catches another

man at this house.

The incident was broken up by the female that arrived with Jai. After this the still

unidentified female punched Dorothy in the face and Dorothy punched her back.

Dorothy's room mate Daniel Poncel came outside and broke everything up.

Jai and the female left the scene. Dorothy advised me she was terrified he

was going to come back and hurt her. I obtained a recorded statement from

Dorothy. While speaking with her I located an earring in the dirt which she said

was hers from being thrown down. I gave her a domestic violence pamphlet with

the appropriate signature page. I then went to where Jai was staying but nobody

would answer the door.

A short while later Jai showed back up at Dorothy's residence and was taken

into custody. At this time Dorothy signed a victim notification form. Jai was

taken to the Bay County Jail where he was held.

A copy of this report has been faxed to the Salvation Army Shelter.

Knox a 'Satanic She-

Devil,' Court Told

As closing arguments continue in

Amanda Knox’s murder-conviction appeal,

the court heard today that the American

student may look like an angel but is

actually a "she-devil." Knox initially

accused bar owner Patrick Lumumba of

killing her roommate, Meredith Kercher,

and his lawyer told the court that Knox is

both a saint ―and a satanic, diabolic she-

devil given to borderline behavior,‖

Reuters reports.

Carlo Pacelli also asked the court to

judge Knox ―based on her personality

when the crime occurred in November

2007,‖ rather than being swayed by the

image of a tired, gaunt woman who has

spent four years in prison. When Kercher

was murdered, Knox ―was a concentrated

mix of sex, drugs, and alcohol‖ who ―loved

strong emotions and dangerous games,‖ he

said.

Incident # 11-10706

On 9/19/11 at approximately

1100 I was dispatched to the

Lynn Haven Recreation

concession stand in reference

to vandalism done to the ladies

restroom. When I arrived at the

concession stand I was met by

the complainant, Grady

Moore, who led me into the

ladies restroom and pointed

out several incidents of grafitti

on the concrete block walls,

the painted stall doors, a card

table, and the mirror. The

writing appeared to have been

done with a black sharpie type

marker. I photographed the

damages and those photos are

attached to this report.

Mr. Moore said that he

estimates the cost of cleanup

and painting to be about

$300.00. He also said that they

had trespassed a couple of girls

recently. One of the pieces of

grafitti was "Hanna was here".

Another writing was "Bob was

Incident # 11-10714

On September 19, 2011 at

approximately 1645 hours I

was dispatched to the Lynn

Haven Walmart at 2101 S

Hwy 77 in regards to a retail

theft. Upon arrival, I made

contact with Sarah Day, Asset

Protection Associate for

Walmart.

Sarah Day informed me

that she and two other

Walmart Associates had

observed two white females,

later identified by Florida

identifications as Ruth Ann

Heath and Melissa Nicole

Ducker, conceal various items

of jewelry and clothing inside

their purses and bypass all

points of sale on their way to

the door on the grocery side of

Walmart. Sarah Day provided

me with a written sworn

witness statement stating these

facts as well as receipts to

establish value. The witness

statement and receipts are

attached to the report.

Melissa Nicole Ducker and

Ruth Ann Heath did openly

admit to me that they had

taken the merchandise. Heath

further stated that she just

wanted to cooperate and

hopefully receive a court date

instead of going to jail.

After requesting a wants

and warrants check from

dispatch, dispatch notified me

that Ruth Ann Heath had an

active warrant out of Calhoun

County. Ruth Heath gave her

personal property including

her purse and a watch to

Melissa Ducker. At that time, I

placed Ruth Ann Heath under

arrest and escorted Heath

along with Melissa Ducker

outside to the patrol car in the

parking lot. After placing

Heath inside the patrol car, I

issued Melissa Ducker a

Notice To Appear, returned

her driver's license, and

allowed her to leave. The

Notice to Appear is attached to

the report.

Ruth Heath was then taken to

the Bay County Jail and

booked in under F.S.S.

812.015 for Retail Theft.

While at the jail, I walked to

BCSO Warrants division to

obtain a copy of Heath's

warrant. Deputy Meeks and

Deputy Price made contact

with dispatch and advised me

that Calhoun County would

fax them their copy of the

warrant. I walked back to

female booking and relayed to

Cpl. Helms that the warrant

was being faxed, and

I provided her with a

booking sheet as well as a

complaint affidavit for Ruth

Heath. A copy of the booking

sheet and complaint affidavit is

attached to the report.

Incident # 11-10756

On 9/20/11 at about 1430 I

was dispatched to the Lynn

Haven Police Department to

meet with the complainant in

reference to a theft.

At the station I spoke with

Donnie McCormick who said

that some unknown person had

cut the east side fence on the

equipment storage yard of

McCormick Construction

Company at 1405 Georgia

Avenue. The unknown person

then removed the copper

welding leads from a welder

that was in the fenced

enclosure.

McCormick said that the

leads were about 50 feet long

and two leads were stolen. He

estimated the value of the

copper leads at about $300.00

and repairs to the fence at

about $150.00.

At this time there are no

suspects and no physical

evidence was recovered.

The property was put on

extra patrol for a period of two

weeks at Mr. McCormick's

request.

Sept. 27, 2011 According to the State Attorney’s Office: King Edward Sherman, 39, was convicted at trial in Marianna on Tuesday of burglary of a

dwelling and dealing in stolen property. Assistant State Attorney Larry Basford showed jurors

that Sherman and John Wayne Lincoln broke into a home at 4580 Bates Road, Greenwood,

between midnight and 2 the morning of Nov. 27 and stole a flat-screen television, which they

sold later that day. Lincoln then continued his burglary spree by going to the home of Vivian

Ford, who he ended up killing when she unexpectedly answered his knock at the door. Lincoln

pleaded guilty to his charges, including this burglary with Sherman, and the murder charge and

was sentenced to life in prison. Sherman, who has four prior felony convictions, faces up to 30

years behind bars when he is sentenced next month.

NUGGET LOUNGE LARCENY On 9/23/11, I responded to the

Gold Nugget Lounge in

reference to a stolen wallet.

Upon arrival I made contact

with the victim who stated she

believes her wallet was stolen

while inside the club. She stated

that a black Coach wallet

containing her driver's license

and approximately $180.00 in

cash was stolen from her purse.

She also stated that her purse

was on the floor behind where

she was sitting so she's unsure

of when it took place. After

leaving the club is when she

noticed it was gone. I made

contact with employees but they

had just come on duty as the

day-shift employees left and

were unaware of this incident. A

search of the area and the

property of the remaining

management) yielded no results.

The current door man indicated

that the victim was gone for

some time before returning and

claiming her wallet was

missing. At this time there is not

enough evidence to file criminal

charges as no suspect was

identified, the property was not

located nor can it be tracked as

no serial numbers are available,

and it cannot be clearly

determined if the property was

stolen at this location since the

victim left prior to reporting the

theft. Nothing further.

Authorities round up

41 in daylong

prescription-drug sting

…......as reported by the St. Petersburg Times...

Phony prescriptions were printed out on a home computer and passed out to "runners" who got

them filled at local pharmacies.

Then the pain pills were divvied up: half for the runner to keep, half for the drug dealer to sell

at street prices that, in some parts of Florida, are up to 30 times what they cost at a pharmacy.

Authorities said that's how more than 400,000 30-milligram oxycodone tablets got into the

wrong hands during a nine-month span beginning in October 2009.

On Monday, several local law enforcement agencies launched a multi-jurisdictional effort to

arrest some of the members of a sophisticated Tampa Bay area drug trafficking ring.

"These criminals don't know any boundaries and neither should we," said Pasco County Sheriff

Chris Nocco.

By day's end, officials had located 41 of the 72 people sought in the second phase of Operation

No Appointment Necessary. Some were already in local jails; others were arrested in Pinellas,

Pasco and Hernando counties. The first phase, which began in March, has so far netted 66 of 94

suspects. And investigators had previously made about 140 other arrests in connection with the

case.

Monday's sweep was a joint effort between the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Countywide

Diversion Task Force, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office and

the New Port Richey Police Department.

"A lot of people get involved because of addiction situations," Alfonso said. "They are addicted

to these painkillers and they have to feed their addiction by going out and getting these pills and

then they sell them as well as using them."

Oxycodone pills that cost about $1 apiece at a pharmacy are going for $8 to $15 on the

street in the Tampa Bay area, Alfonso said. In more rural areas of North Florida, they can

bring as much as $30 a pill.

Cantaloupe Death Toll

Rising, May Hit 16 CDC reports 13 confirmed

deaths and 72 illnesses from

listeria outbreak

Health officials say at least 13

people have died from possible

listeria illnesses traced to Colorado

cantaloupes, making it the deadliest

food outbreak in more than a

decade. The CDC said today that 72

illnesses and 13 deaths are linked to

the tainted fruit. Most of the victims

were age 60 or older, with seniors

and young children the most

susceptible, notes the New York

Times. State and local officials are

investigating three additional deaths

that may be connected.

The figures released by the CDC,

including newly confirmed deaths in

Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and

Texas, surpassed the number of

deaths linked to an outbreak of

salmonella in peanuts almost three

years ago. Nine people died in that

outbreak. Last week, the CDC

reported deaths in Colorado, New

Mexico, Oklahoma, and Maryland.

The cantaloupes are marketed

under the name Rocky Mountain

cantaloupes.

Shaking down opportunities for money using the

government as the heavy is a great gig for ex-Democrats

with no real marketable business skills. It combines

pretending you can harness the sun for energy, with the

salesmanship of Bernie Madoff. The cool thing is that you

never really have to produce a product people want to buy,

just say you will.

Like Chrysler, when Obama circumvented 200 years of

bankruptcy law to benefit them, Billionaire George Kaiser

(the original investor in Solyndra) finagled a deal where

his investment gets paid back in front of the United States’

$535 billion loan. Coincidence I am sure, but he was one

of the biggest donors to Obama in 2008.

Also, on Monday information came out that the

Democrat Party in California was listed as a creditor of

the bankruptcy filing. The Dems in California took

exception; they are usually viewed as a liability.

Of course they put this business in California, a solidly

liberal Democrat strong hold with the worst

unemployment rate in the country to show for it. The

unemployment would be worse in California had they not

had be boom of health food stores turned in to marijuana

dispensaries the last few years. The only growing business

there is company relocation concerns helping

corporation’s exodus the state. California also funds

college for illegal immigrants helping them realize the

dream of going from an employed farm worker, to

collecting unemployment as a Cal Berkley grad in Art

History—the new ―American Dream‖ under Obama.

Obama has long preached the green energy religion to

his followers, but I wonder; is he the televangelist himself,

smoothly snookering saps out of their money, or the mark

who sends his paycheck in to the preachers on TV because

they are convincing?

Like with tent preachers, God is a great partner: he is a

powerful influence on customers and does not take a cut

of the tithes. It is similar with government shake down

artists: the government is a powerful partner with free

money, and only takes political kickbacks.

Solyndra is not about wasted money and political

payback. It is about the scope and role of government, and

the notion that they should pick winners and losers in

what used to be our private sector. Does Obama know

more than 310 million Americans, and 7 billion people

worldwide about what we want and what we are willing to

pay for it? Let the marvel that is the markets do this for us,

it has done a fantastic job so far and not only does it not

cost us anything, and you can tax it—Obama has to like

that. Ron Hart, a libertarian syndicated op-ed humorist, award-winning author and TV/radio

Statement from Governor Rick Scott Regarding Rosh Hashanah SEPTEMBER 28, 2011 Tallahassee, Fla. – “Tonight at sundown marks the beginning of

Rosh Hashanah, a new year for the Jewish people. This sacred time also begins the

period of High Holy Days, a time of spiritual renewal and reflection for many Floridians.

“During this season, I am reminded of the joys of faith and family and the universal quest

to grow closer to our Maker. May the call of the shofar remind us all of the importance

of tradition and values in these challenging times. “The High Holy Days should also

remind us of the invaluable freedoms we enjoy as Americans and the brave men and

women who protect those freedoms at home and abroad. It is also important to

remember the contributions the Jewish community make to our state and nation’s

diverse heritage and spiritual makeup.

“Ann and I wish all Floridians observing the High Holy Days a happy and healthy New Year. L’shanah tova!”
