Don't you just hate it when you go to court and forget that they don't allow you to bring guns (or stun guns disguised at cell phones) into the building. But, we should cut this lady a break: she was only carrying a little .38 in her purse. Anyone could overlook something like that, right?
Ecreia Laki Perez is being held on $6,000 bond after she was arrested Tuesday afternoon. Perez tried to enter the Fulton County Courthouse but was stopped after her bag went through the security checkpoint’s conveyor belt, a Fulton County Sheriff’s spokeswoman said.
A Fulton Sheriff’s deputy noticed the .380 gun as well as a stun gun – disguised as a mobile phone – in Perez’s bag, spokeswoman Tracy Flanagan said. Perez told authorities she forgot she had the two weapons in her bag.
Now why didn't you and I think of that? We need to replace the furnace at home, but instead of paying one for ourselves, just take one home from work and have somebody from the company install it. Brilliant!
Just another in a long line of corrupt officials with the Detroit Public Schools. Here's two of the latest examples:
Gwendolyn Miller, 58, former principal at Randolph Career and Technical Center, faces two felony embezzlement charges. She is accused of using school money and personnel to install a furnace in her home, among other purchases.
The former bookkeeper at Randolph, Eugenia Holimon, 47, faces six felonies, including one count of conducting a criminal enterprise. She is accused of using school funds to make 13 mortgage payments from 2006 to 2009, worth $29,408, on a Detroit home.

In the Magic Of Making Up, I lay out a complete strategy.
You know, sometimes you can tell a lot from a mugshot, sometimes not. This is one of those cases where the picture is worth a thousand words. At right, the mug shot of one Farrah E. Pierce of Rhode Island who was arrested by police in a rather convoluted set of circumstances. Basically, it sounds like her friend was arrested at a mall for shoplifting and while the cops were questioning that gall, Pierce allegedly walks up all drunk, demanding her car keys. The cops say no way, go call a friend to drive you home. So Pierce makes a call, but the guy who shows up is--according to the cops at least--less of a friend and more of a paid escort, so no deal. So they take Pierce into custody and then things really get wierd: she starts cursing and yelling and making sexually suggestive comments to the cops, and at some point allegedly tried to show off her breasts. And the fun didn't stop at the jail where they caught Pierce on camera urinating on a bench, flooding the cell and wiping toilet paper all over the walls.
And after all that, she has the nerve to smile like that in her mug shot? Damn.
(Bonus: below is a picture taken from her Facebook page. Double Damn!)
Farrah E. Pierce was taken to the police station, where she urinated in her jail cell, flooded the toilet and smeared wet toilet paper on the walls and a door, police said. She was charged with disorderly conduct and wanton and malicious destruction of property, according to a police report filed in Framingham District Court.
Earlier Saturday, police arrested Lauren P. Tiernan, 21, of 90 Whittier Road, Providence, at 8:08 p.m. and charged her with shoplifting of property worth more than $100 and giving police a false name. At 8:50 p.m., Pierce walked up to several officers at the mall and said she needed her car keys from Tiernan, according to the report filed in court by Officer Kenneth J. Fitzgerald Jr.
The officers refused to give Pierce the keys because she was obviously drunk, Fitzgerald wrote.
The officers told Pierce if she had a sober friend they could take the car. Pierce called someone on her cell phone, and a few minutes later a man came, but he did not know her name and she only knew his first name.
"After some brief discussion, it was apparent that Pierce was most likely an escort and that the male party was most likely a 'John,' and not a suitable or safe person to release her to in her state of intoxication," Fitzgerald said in the report.
Police decided to take Pierce into protective custody. On the way to the station, she made sexually suggestive statements to the officer. At the station, Pierce "started making vulgar remarks, yelling, swearing and attempting to expose her breasts," Fitzgerald said.
Once in her cell, Pierce continued yelling and swearing. Officers saw her, on video, climb onto the cell bench and urinate on the bench and floor. She also flooded the toilet and wiped the toilet paper on the walls and doors.
The legendary "one phone call from jail" used in may movies and TV shows to make the hero decide who deserves that one chance to win his or her freedom. In all of those instances though, we never recall a guy--arrested for domestic violence--using that one call as an opportunity to contact his wife and threaten to kill her, right in front of the cops!
You would think even a drunk would know better to do that. But apprently not Janusz Owca of suburban Chicago who now not only faces charges of aggravated domestic batter, but also felony intimidation.
And being a total dumbass.
Owca's wife told police her husband came home drunk Sunday evening and pulled her hair and choked her. She fled with her children. When an officer arrived, Owca told the officer: "I'm going to [expletive] you up," police said. He was soon put up against a wall and arrested. When he got to the lockup, he made the call, warning his wife he would kill her when he got out of jail, sheriff's police said.
You can't make this stuff up. We have a new leader in the clubhouse for Dumbass of the Year.
Cops in Elmwood Place (Ohio) pulled a female driver over for a simple "equipment violation." What they found was unbelievable: her pants were undone and she admitted using a sex toy while driving. Not only that, she had been watching a video (no word if it was porn or not, but what do you think?) on the computer her passenger was holding. To top things off, there was also a crack pipe in the car . . . which might explain stupid moves #1 and #2 above, but we have never heard of crack being an aphrodisiac, have you?
Not surprisingly, the woman arrested, Colondra Hamilton, has a lengthy criminal history. Really?
It was likely the most unique traffic stop two police officers from Elmwood Place police have ever had. Officers pulled over 32-year-old Colondra Hamilton for an equipment violation on Aug. 17 around 7:30 p.m. in the 200 block of Township Avenue in Elmwood Place.
Officers found Hamilton to have her pants unbuttoned with a female sex toy in her lap. She told officers she had been using the toy while driving, as well as watching a video on a computer her passenger was holding. It is not clear what the nature of that video was.
Hamilton was also found to be in possession of a broken crack pipe.
This is why you don't have your bachelor party--or in this case a bachelorette party--the night before your wedding.
Didn't any of you see The Hangover?
A 31-year-old Bellevue woman was arrested early Saturday on supicion of DUI just hours before she was to walk down the aisle, according to the State Patrol. The woman was pulled over just after 6 a.m. after a trooper spotted her weaving in and out of her lane and driving at more than 90 mph on northbound Interstate 405 near Northeast Eighth Street. The woman told the trooper she was heading home from her bachelorette party in Issaquah and was getting married that afternoon in Burien.
The woman admitted she had been arrested once before for DUI and said she was familiar with the routine, the State Patrol says. Her blood-alcohol level was measured at .146, nearly twice the legal limit in Washington.
Ms Blossom was looking at a truckload of jail time, but fortunately for her the young victim in this case decided he didn't want to testify and so the DA had to allow her to plead guilty to a lesser charge and only receive probation and a 20 year suspended sentence. Once again we have to wonder: if Blossom had been a man, would authorities have given him such a light sentence?
A former Northwest Rankin High School teacher accused of having sex with a 16-year-old student will not be going to jail, court officials said. Kelly Finn Blossom pleaded guilty on Monday to one count of sexual battery and was given a 20-year suspended sentence along with five years probation, court officials said.
Rankin County District Attorney Michael Guest said that he wanted jail time, but the family of the victim asked that the teenager not be called to testify. The boy told investigators that he had sex with Blossom after school and on the weekends at the high school.
This is what happens when you give grown-ups access to the Internet!
All this guy had to do to stay out of jail is keep away from his estranged wife. The temporary restraining order prohibited Harry William Bruder, Sr from not only being in face-to-face contact with Carole Bruder but from contacting her by e-mail, Internet messaging or any third party.
Apparently, he didn't get the message that Facebook is on the Internet. His ability to get online will likely be restricted while in jail.
A Hudson man's "friend request" on a social networking website was anything but ignored recently. It landed him in handcuffs on Sunday. Pasco sheriff's deputies say 54-year-old Harry William Bruder Sr. violated the conditions of a domestic violence injunction against him July 20 when he friend-requested his estranged wife on Facebook.
On June 25, Bruder was served with the restraining order his wife, Carole Jean Bruder, 61, obtained from Pasco Judge Candy VanDercar. The injunction prohibits Bruder from not only being in face-to-face contact with Carole Bruder but from contacting her by e-mail, Internet messaging or any third party.
Carole Bruder contacted deputies Sunday after she discovered her e-mail password had been changed and she suspected her husband. She also told deputies that he twice friend-requested her on Facebook, the second time being July 22.
UPDATE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 13: Video of Steven Slater's Slide! - TMZ says this video footage of Slater's slide to freedom was obtained by the folks at WNBC in New York and was captured by surveillance cameras at JFK airport on Monday. Enjoy!
UPDATE: Several readers have written in to suggest how much Steven Slater looks like a scene stealer in the movie "Airplane." We did a little research and found a picture of Johnny, played by Steven Stucker. At right, a picture of Johnny. Below, Jet Blue flight attendant Steven Slater. Hmmm.
You have to wonder how long Jet Blue flight attendant Steven "You've Hit My Last Nerve!" Slater had been thinking about this one. If it just happened on the spur of the moment, he's got quite the flare for the dramatic. We think he probably fantasized about this one for a while though. Here's the basics of the story: Stevie was working on a Jet Blue flight from Pittsburgh to JFK in New York and the plane was landing when a female passenger got up WAY too early to get her bag from the overhead compartment. (You know the type,) When Slater approached the passenger she cursed him out and somehow struck him in the head with a bag. When she refused to apologize, he got on the plane's PA system and cursed out everyone, then grabbed some beers and his luggage, opened the door and activated the emergency slide which he jumped on and used to scoot of the plane and into the terminal. Authorities did catch up to him, but that's one flight those passengers will never forget!
Here's more from NBC New York (video clip from PIX 11 below):
A flight attendant ran out of patience on a plane that just landed at JFK on Monday afternoon, so he allegedly cursed a blue streak over the p.a. system, grabbed some beers, pulled the emergency chute, slid down and ran from the plane, sources said.
Jet Blue employee Steven Slater, 38, was working on Flight 1052 from Pittsburgh to Kennedy Airport, which landed at around 12 p.m., when he got into a verbal altercation with a passenger, law-enforcement sources said. Following a heated exchange, the flight attendant told off the entire plane on the public address system, activated an emergency chute near the back of the plane and jumped down the evacuation slide and ran for it.
The argument began when one of the 100 passengers on the flight, got up early to get her luggage from an overhead compartment, according to sources. Slater told the passenger to sit back down -- but, as he approached, the woman continued to pull her belongings down and struck him in the head with her bag, authorities said.
Slater asked for an apology but the woman cursed him out, saying in effect "go f--k yourself" and calling him a "mo-fo," according to law enforcement sources who are still sorting out the specifics. Then Slater got on the flight's announcement system and allegedly cursed out everyone on the plane -- especially the person who mouthed off to him, according to law enforcement sources.
When his tirade was through, he then took a some beers from the galley and pulled the emergency chute and slid off the Embraer 190 plane. According to police sources, he threw his luggage down first and said something to the effect of "there goes 28 years," before he took the plunge. After getting down the slide, Slater took off into the terminal, law-enforcement sources said.
