Man Tries to Rob Store With Toddler in Car, Unable to Make Escape

Dumbass doesn't even begin to describe this guy. Not only is he a unprepared robber, he's also not a very good babysitter! Thanks to reader Erik S. for the tip!

A 23-year-old East Stroudsburg man had his 3-year-old niece with him when he robbed two Monroe County businesses Friday evening, state police at Swiftwater said.  Joseph M. Kiss showed a knife to a woman working at the the Dollar Plus Market, 5212 Milford Road, Middle Smithfield Township, before leaving with a cash drawer he took shortly after 7 p.m., police said.

The 39-year-old employee followed Kiss outside the store and took the drawer back when Kiss opened a car door to move his niece from a front seat to a rear seat. The worker then ran back to the store and locked a door.

"Teacher of the Year" Accused of Pressuring Boy to Have Baby With Her - Keenon A. Hall

It's one thing to teachers to have sex with underage boys. But to pressure them into a relationship so they can have a baby? That's way beyond the call of duty.

The teacher of the year at an Atlanta-area high school has resigned after admitting a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old student, a newspaper reports.  The student, a football player at Shiloh High School, claimed Keenon A. Hall, 29, had seduced him and had sex with him at a hotel, a friend's home and in the teacher's classroom during school hours during a six-month tryst, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said.

Citing Gwinnett County Public Schools personnel records, the newspaper said Hall, an English teacher, pressured the student to have a baby with her to commit to the relationship and gave him a failing grade in retaliation when he refused.  The grade prompted the boy to report the relationship to school officials, the newspaper said.

More Drunken Sorority Madness: Urinating on Artifacts at a Museum! - Alpha Xi Delta

The sorority girls at Mid- American Conference schools must know how to party! In the past few weeks we have reported on the Pi Beta Phi sorority at the University of Miami, the Pi Beta Phi chapter at Ohio University, and now we head back to UM where the Alpha Xi Delta ladies may have topped them all. They had their spring formal at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center. (For those of you unfamiliar with the Underground Railroad, it was used to move slaves from the South to free Northern states before the civil war.) At the NURFC, the girls started the night off drunk, got drunker and generally trashed a facility that houses some sacred historic relics. In fact, at one point, one of the male escorts decided to relieve himself inside an original log cabin slave pen that was moved from a Kentucky farm to the museum.

Apparently the men's room was either too far away or not historically accurate enough to him to urinate in. Needless to say, the antics in this case have now set a new low for drunken spring formals held by Greeks.

But somehow, we know there are more tales like this out there. Anyone care to share?

Here are some details from our friends at TheSmokingGun.com, which includes another detailed letter from an outraged facility owner:

The March 26 affair at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center was organized by the Alpha Xi Delta sorority chapter at Miami University in Ohio. In an internal memo drafted three days after the booze-soaked event, a fuming Freedom Center official described how inebriated sorority sisters and their guests attempted to "urinate on our artifacts," defaced restrooms, and vomited "throughout our building." Describing the museum as a "place of education and inspiration for visitors," Rhonda Miller noted that, a day after the formal, staffers were "still finding hidden bottles of alcohol and new places where students had vomited from having too much to drink." Miller, the museum's private event coordinator, wrote that she even had to stop one young man as he was preparing to relieve himself on the side of a "priceless and sanctified" slave pen. The pen, pictured above, was moved from a Kentucky farm and reassembled in the museum's second-floor atrium (slaves were imprisoned in the two-story log house prior to their auction)

Special Ed Teacher Accused of Giving Special Head - Marla Gurecki-Haskins

Another day, another middle-aged female teacher willing to throw away a promising career as an educator for sex with an underage boy. Today's case comes to us from upstate New York where a 36-year-old special education teacher was accused of giving non-standard oral exams to a male student.

At right, the mug shot of one Marla Gurecki-Haskins, who used to teach at Canandaigua Academy in Canandaigua, New York. Comments on whether you would have at 17 can begin below.

A Canandaigua school teacher is facing charges, accused of performing oral sex on a 17-year-old student.  36-year-old Marla Gurecki-Haskins is also accused of "Sexting" two other students. Police say some of the incidents happened in her classroom during school hours.  According to court paperwork, she's accused of "engaging in text messaging of a sexual nature that encouraged a sexual relationship between the defendant and two 16 year old male students."

Haskins is charged with official misconduct, two counts endangering welfare of a child and disseminating indecent material to a minor. The third charge is a felony.

Second Ohio Chapter of Pi Beta Phi Sorority Goes Wild at Spring Formal!

We're no strangers to drunken misdeeds at this site: they're pretty much our bread and butter. So earlier this month when the ladies--and we use the term loosely--at the University of Miami (Ohio) chapter when all crazy at their spring formal (disgusting details here) we weren't ready to condemn the entire college Greek system or even the sorority side of things for that matter. That is, until we came across this latest report from our old friends at TheSmokingGun.com, who published a letter from the head of the Parkersburg Art Center, the unfortunate location for a recent dance put on by the University of Ohio (Ohio) chapter of Pi Beta Phi. Not to be outdone by their sisters from UM, this gang went balls deep in the vandalism category, doing an amazing $47,000 worth of damage to the facility in ONE NIGHT. From the description in the letter, it sounds like the theme for the evening was a cross between "Animal House" and "Caligula" with a roster of atrocities to numerous to fully list here. But they did include:

Damaging the dance floor with booze
Defecating in urinals
Vomiting on the linen tablecloths, carpet, dance floor and pretty much any surface below face level
Tried to strip a female bartender and take her tip money
Engage in sex on the dance floor in front of a crowd
Engage in sex in a bathroom and breaking a sink
And last, but not least, broke several kegs and stole several tappers!

The bottom line? Looks like a combination of lawsuits, civil charges and possibly criminal charges. Congrats to everyone involved! (No mention of their night of fun at the PBP chapter's website.)

Abby Hayhurst, head of the Parkersburg Art Center, reported that catering staff witnessed "a couple engaging in sexual congress, while surrounded by a cheering throng," and that a bathroom sink was broken as a result of "one of your members and her date attempting to have sexual relations on it, an act which was witnessed by the event's caterer, who walked in on them." The art center, which reported the damage to the Parkersburg Police Department, is seeking about $47,000 from the sorority, which contends that the art center has exaggerated its damages. Last month, the Pi Beta Phi chapter at Miami University was suspended after a wild April 9 spring formal at a lakefront Ohio lodge. In a letter detailing damages and the sorority's wild behavior, lodge owner Lyndsay Rapier-Phipps noted that the students were "totally obliterated and behaving like immature children."

Elvis Impersonator Robbed by Man With Lip Tattoo

UPDATE:  We found a picture of this genius and his two unique tattoos. Gee, we wonder how the cops every found him?  All this guy needs is a pair of glasses and he can do his impersonation of Groucho Marx in the annual prison talent show.

EARLIER:  Want to start a life of crime? Better not get any tattoos on your face when one of your victims might spot it and turn in you. Especially if it's on your upper lip!

Police say a suspect in a Colorado home invasion had the evidence written all over his face. A tattoo on the upper lip of 20-year-old Anthony Brandon Gonzales led to his arrest last week in the home invasion of an Elvis impersonator in Pueblo County.  A witness told police that one of the invaders had "East Side" tattooed on his upper lip. Gonzales also has a "13" tattooed on his chin in the shape of a goatee. According to an affidavit, the tattoos were visible even though Gonzales was wearing a mask.

Gonzales was already in jail on a separate drug charge. Police have now charged him with the April burglary, too. Sgt. Eric Bravo said his distinctive tattoo led to the charge, saying, "it's hard to miss him."

Assistant Principal Sends Topless Pic to Boy, 14 - Lauren Shreve Tilo

You thought female teachers had all the fun? Not anymore! Now, even the administrators are getting into the act. The latest one is an assistant principal from Middleton High School in Tampa, Florida named Lauren Shreve Tilo. Her alleged crime? Sending a topless picture of herself to a male student who was only 14. At right, the mug shot picture of Tilo.

An assistant principal at a Florida middle school sent a topless photo of herself to a 14-year-old boy, police say.  Lauren Shreve Tilo, a 30-year-old assistant principal at Middleton High School in Tampa, allegedly sent a cell phone picture of her breasts to the teenager on May 7 after meeting him while playing the popular online game World of Warcraft, MyFoxTampaBay.com reports.

Tilo and the boy were initially just friends before they began exchanging text messages about "conducting sexual acts to one another," according to an arrest report filed in Manatee County, where deputies say they learned of the allegations when the unidentified boy told his guidance counselor.

Baltimore Continues to Pay City Employees While They're in Jail!

Your tax dollars at work!

Yes, everyone's entitled to a fair trial and people who have served their time in jail should get a second chance, but what about those on the government payroll, convicted of a crime and serving time: should they still get paid for their jobs? Apparently the City of Baltimore thought so, until last week when someone blew the whistle on a convicted sex offender who did 8 months in jail and still got paid.

Only in America. The real topper is at the end of the story from Fox News.

The mayor of Baltimore this week imposed new rules on city employees requiring them to report when they've been arrested after a convicted sex offender stayed on the city's payroll while serving time, a local news site reported.  Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake signed an executive order Monday that requires city employees to inform supervisors if they have been charged with a crime, reported the Investigative Voice, a Baltimore news website.

The move came in response to a report by the city watchdog showing that Dennis J. McLaughlin, an employee of the city's Department of Public Works' Bureau of Water and Wastewater, received $12,700 in sick leave, vacation and holiday pay by the city while serving an eight- month sentence for sexually abusing a minor, the site reported.

When McLaughlin ran out of sick leave, union officials approved 24 extra paid days from the "sick bank" -- a deal that the city's labor commissioner also approved, the site said.  When McLaughlin later returned to work, he was assigned to a sensitive position investigating water leaks in both private residences and schools, the site reported.

Female Student Teacher Arreste for Sex With Boy, 15 - Melanie K. Yusko

Melanie K. Yusko isn't even an official teacher yet (she was about to graduate from Kent State University this past weekend) and she's already working like a pro. Unfortunately, the kind of work Yusko was doing was not what the State of Ohio had hoped for when she became a teacher.

A former student teacher at Southeast High School who is set to graduate from Kent State University today has been charged with engaging in sexual conduct with a high school boy. Melanie K. Yusko, 22, of Highland Heights, was indicted Monday by a Portage County grand jury on one count of sexual battery, a third-degree felony. Portage County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Greg Johnson said the victim, a 15-year-old student at Southeast High School, told a friend about his encounter with Yusko.

Johnson said one incident of sexual conduct occurred between the victim and Yusko, “to the best of our knowledge.”  The encounter took place on April 7, according to the indictment. It did not take place on school property, Johnson said.

Florida Grandma, 87, Arrested for Selling Crack

There's probably no good age to be selling crack, but 87 seems kind of old to be a drug dealer, doesn't it? Then again, Ola Mae Agee, right, looks like a tough old bird.

The Escambia County Sheriff’s Narcotic Investigators conducted an undercover operation in the area of Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and East Desoto Street over the past month. During that time, they captured 87-year-old Ola Mae Agee on video selling crack cocaine to undercover deputies.

That sale led to a search of Agee’s home today. A family member brought Agee to the Escambia County jail so she could turn herself in.

Sorority Girls Gone Wild - Pi Beta Phi at Miami University Suspend for Year Over Antics

Girls Gone Wild? Well, not exactly like the popular videos would have you think. These ladies (and we do use the term loosely) from the Pi Beta Phi Fraternity for Women (isn't that an oxymoron?) at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio took things to a whole new level with their spring formal this year. The list of allegedly crimes compiled by the owner of the Lake Lyndsay Lodge, Lyndsay Rapier-Phipps, in a letter written to the dean of students, reads like "how to" manual for drunken frat parties and includes:

• Arriving at the event already heavily intoxicated when it started at 8 p.m.
• Breaking a toilet
• Continuing to use that toilet, even though they knew it was broken
  
• Urinating in sinks (probably AFTER they eventually figured out the toilet was broken)
  
• Flipping over a table of appetizers (must not have been hungry)
• Getting caught having drunken sex (2)
  
• Breaking two crystal vases which were reportedly thrown off a porch
• Breaking a concrete lion (Degree of difficulty for that maneuver is a 1.8)
• Vomiting numerous times inside the building, and the topper for the evening:
  
• Defecating outside the building in numerous spots
  

All in all, a full evening of fun! And yet, surprisingly the ladies of Pi Beta Phi have been suspended for year for their efforts at creative drunkeness. (The national organization confirms that here.)

Nothing at the MU chapter's website indicates anything is amiss (at least at the time this was written) and their Photo Gallery includes pics from something called the "$5 Prom".  (Not sure if that is a reference to how much their dresses were supposed to cost or . . . something less ladylike.) The group shot above was taken from the local chapter's website, and we should point out that we have no idea if any of the ladies pictured were involved in the alleged incidents or are even current members of the organization, but we can hope, can't we guys?

Here's more from the Oxford Press:

In the letter she (Lyndsay Rapier-Phipps) details how students arrived heavily intoxicated at 8 p.m. “Some could barely manage to walk inside the facility,” the letter states. She said students carried drinks onto the dance floor, broke a toilet in the women’s restroom and then continued to use it, urinated in the sinks, flipped a table of appetizers onto the carpet and vomited numerous times inside the facility.

At one point, several men climbed over the counter to get drinks after the caterer stopped serving alcohol. They also tried to swim in the lake, according to the letter. Two crystal vases were taken outside and thrown off the porch and a large concrete lion was knocked over and broken, according to Rapier-Phipps’ letter.  Workers found a pile of human feces outside the building, and two couples were caught having intercourse in different places, she said.

Happy Mother's Day! Mom Arrested for DUI Sunday With Kids in Car

Probably not the best way to celebrate Mother's Day: to get pinched at 11:30 in the morning on a DUI charge. The good news is that this is now a felony in New York state, under something known as Leandra's Law, or more formally "Aggravated Driving While Intoxicated with a Passenger 15 Years Old or Younger."

Probably not a good idea any time of the year. At right, Frances Fannon's mugh shot picture.

A woman on Long Island was arrested Sunday for driving while intoxicated with two children in the car. Frances Fannon, 48, was pulled over for a traffic infraction on Mother's Day around 11:30 a.m in West Islip. A Suffolk County police officer determined she was drunk, and placed her under arrest. Her two passengers, her 13-year-old daughter, and the daughter's 12-year-old friend, were unharmed.

Burbank Leader > Archives > News > Teacher gets two years for having sex with student

A female teacher, accused of sex with a student is actually going to jail? Someone check Hell, it must be frozen over!

Burbank Leader > Archives > News > Teacher gets two years for having sex with student: "A former Burbank middle school teacher was sentenced Friday to two years in state prison after turning herself in to authorities for having sex with a 14-year-old student.

Amy Beck, a 33-year-old former English and social science teacher at Jordan Middle School, pleaded no contest March 25 to charges of unlawful sex with a minor. A no-contest plea is not an admission of guilt, but is treated as such for sentencing purposes.

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge also ordered Beck to register as a sex offender for the charges that included one count each of unlawful sex with a minor and performing lewd acts on a minor.

Because of time served, Beck's attorney said she would likely only serve about 10 months in prison."
