    Monday morning feel good stories

    From Orlando, Florida;

    Police are looking into a shooting along Southeast 14th Street this Sunday morning.

    They say that an intruder was shot by a homeowner.

    The suspect is now being treated at the hospital.

    From Ocala, Florida;

    A 30-year-old man is in critical condition after he was shot after breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s home early Sunday morning, according to Ocala Police.

    Authorities said the man broke into the home and encountered his ex-girlfriend’s adult child, who was armed. The suspect fled toward a bedroom that the woman’s younger children were in, and the adult child shot him.

    The suspect then jumped out a second-story window. Officers later located him a few blocks away.

    Earlier the same morning, officers were called to the residence when the ex-girlfriend, who is out of town, noticed on her security cameras that the suspect was trying to get inside. When authorities arrived the suspect had fled.

    Investigators say the individuals in the case have been involved in previous domestic violence incidents.

    The suspect was transported to a local hospital.

    Pr0n star stops school shooting

    Apparently, pr0n star, Mia Khalifa felt that the only way students in her area would be safe from her would be for her to turn in her shotgun to the police. ISIS will be glad to know she unarmed – they sent Mia death threats according to Wiki;

    She received online death threats after she ranked No. 1 on Pornhub, including a manipulated image of a Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant executioner preparing to behead her, and a message warning her that she would go to Hell, to which she replied “I’ve been meaning to get a little tan recently”. Lebanese newspapers wrote articles critical of Khalifa, which she considered trivial due to other events in the region

    Saudi Air Defense Forces Intercept Ballistic Missile Fired by Houthis

    The Center for International Communication (CIC), Ministry of Culture and Information, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia sent us a press release this morning, announcing that they had intercepted a ballistic missile fired at the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen;

    RIYADH, May 19, 2018 – The spokesman for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen, Col. Turki Almalki, said Royal Saudi Air Defence Forces on Saturday evening intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile fired by the Iranian-backed Houthi militia towards Saudi Arabia from Saada governorate in Yemen.

    Another missile fired by the Houthis in the same direction landed in the desert.

    “The ballistic missile was intercepted at exactly 6.14pm Riyadh time,” Col Almalki said in a statement.

    “The Saudi Royal Air Defence Forces spotted another missile that landed in an uninhabited desert.

    Thankfully there were no reports of any damage until the time this statement was issued,” he added.

    He said that the two rockets were aimed at the Saudi city of Khamis Mushait and were targeted at busy civilian areas.

    Col. Almalki said: “This hostile action by the Houthi terrorist group supported by Iran proves the Iranian regime’s sustained involvement in supporting the Houthis with material capabilities, in clear defiance of UN Resolutions 2216 and 2231 in order to undermine the security of Saudi Arabia, the region and the international community.

    “The firing of ballistic missiles at populated towns and villages is contrary to international humanitarian law.”

    The Saudis have intercepted four other missiles fired by the Iranian clients this monthl

  • Kenneth John Boyles behind bars

    Kenneth John Boyles behind bars

    We wrote about Kenneth John Boyles when he was wearing his motorcycle vest in Clarksburg, West Virginia more than four years ago. He claimed to be a Desert Storm veteran and a special forces soldier.

    He was indicted late last year for defrauding the VA out of $224,000 of benefits between 2008 and 2017. He was sentenced last week, according to WAJR;

    Kenneth Boyles, 52, of Clarksburg pleaded guilty to the charge of health care fraud in January. He admitted to falsely reporting symptoms related to his service in the U.S. Army Reserves to the Veterans Health Administration in order to fraudulently collect more than $224,000 in benefits.

    The crime occurred between 2008 and 2017 in Harrison County.

    Boyles will pay back $244,320.07 in restitution and serve six months in prison.

  • Mugshots.com operators charged

    Mugshots.com operators charged

    According to California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, four people operating the website Mugshots.com have been charged with extortion, money laundering, and identity theft for their “pay for removal” business.

    The website mines data from police and sheriffs’ department websites to collect individuals’ names, booking photos and charges, then republishes the information online without the individuals’ knowledge or consent. Once subjects request that their booking photos be removed, they are routed to a secondary website called Unpublisharrest.com and charged a “de-publishing” fee to have the content removed. Mugshots.com does not remove criminal record information until a subject pays the fee. This is the case even if the subject had charges dismissed or had been arrested due to mistaken identity or law enforcement error. Those subjects who cannot pay the fee may subsequently be denied housing, employment, or other opportunities because their booking photo is readily available on the internet.

    “This pay-for-removal scheme attempts to profit off of someone else’s humiliation,” said Attorney General Becerra. “Those who can’t afford to pay into this scheme to have their information removed pay the price when they look for a job, housing, or try to build relationships with others. This is exploitation, plain and simple.”

    The defendants named in the complaint are Sahar Sarid, Kishore Vidya Bhavnanie, Thomas Keesee, and David Usdan. They are the alleged owners and operators of Mugshots.com. Over a three-year period, the defendants extracted more than $64,000 in removal fees from approximately 175 individuals with billing addresses in California. Nationally, the defendants took more than $2 million in removal fees from approximately 5,703 individuals for the same period.

    The AG’s office is attempting to extradite the four who all live outside California.

    Arrest warrants were served with the assistance of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, working with the Broward County Sheriff’s Office and Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office; the Connecticut State Police, working with the Connecticut Division of Criminal Justice – State’s Attorney’s Office; and the Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General.

  • Charles Sitton; phony Navy Cross recipient

    Charles Sitton; phony Navy Cross recipient

    Someone sent us their work on this Charles Sitton fellow who hands out a forged DD214 that says he earned the Navy Cross while he was snoopin’ and poopin’ in Vietnam;

    He also did an interview in his local press, The Suburbanite, claiming to be Navy Lieutenant and thrice wounded in combat;

    For the next three months he was commissioned to a PBR 523 as the commanding officer with an eight-man crew. Then he was on a PBF (Patrol Boat Fast) running recon insertion missions to North Vietnam. The PBF was an 80-foot boat that could do 62 knots on the water (approximately 70 mph).

    “The recon teams would take money and medicine in to persuade North Vietnamese to come over to the other side. They took the money and the medicine but didn’t change sides,” Sitton said.

    Sitton earned three Purple Heart medals while in Vietnam. The first was for a mortar fire attack in DaNang, South Vietnam. The second came when he was shot in the wrist while in Dong Hoi, North Vietnam while loading a wounded Marine aboard. When back in DaNang, he came under fire and was shot in the hand when returning fire which earned him the third Purple Heart.

    According to his actual records, he served on the USS Tombigbee (AOG-11), a Patapsco-class gasoline tanker, in the coastal waters of Vietnam in 1966 which earned him the Vietnam Service Medal;

    No Purple Hearts, no Lieutenant, no Navy Cross, no patrol boats.

  • Robert Livingston sentenced

    Robert Livingston sentenced

    We wrote about Robert Livingston late last year when the former mayor of Lakeland, Minnesota pleaded guilty to pretending to have a military career. He stole more than $137,000 in veteran healthcare and disability payments from the VA. He was sentenced to two years probation this week according to KSTP;

    He admitted to federal agents that he went through 35 drafts to make his fraudulent discharge papers look “believable” before submitting them to the Veterans Administration, according to court records.

    […]

    A dozen VFW members were in federal court in St. Paul as Livingston was sentenced.

    “Justice was denied today,” VFW member Darrin Ewing said. “He was not sentenced to jail for the crimes he committed. This sends a message anybody can steal from the government and get away with it.”

    […]

    But federal judge Paul A. Magnuson said prosecutors asking for 10 months of prison time despite Livingston’s numerous health issues was a case of the government “not having a heart.”

    “It’s not going to happen,” Magnuson said before putting Livingston on probation instead of sending him to prison.

  • Saturday morning feel good stories

    Saturday morning feel good stories

    From Shaler, Pennsylvania;

    Police in Shaler say they are investigating a home invasion in the area of Crest Lane.

    Police say two men tried to enter a home around 8 p.m. Friday. A shelter in place recommendation issued by police shortly after 8 p.m. has since been lifted and police say they don’t think the suspects are still in the immediate area.

    Police didn’t have much of a description for the men, except to say one was white and the other black and both are possibly in their 30s. Police say one man may have been wearing a hooded sweatshirt and the other wearing a red bandanna.

    Trib news partner WPXI-TV is reporting the homeowner may have shot one of the men with a bow and arrow and that two men matching the suspects’ description were seen running toward Sandy Drive.
