Longwood [Florida] police officers arrested a man accused of attempting to rob a Wells Fargo bank on Friday.<\/p>\n
Investigators said they were tipped off to the suspect’s whereabouts after it was observed that the motel name and room number where he was staying were printed on the back of the hold-up note handed over to the bank teller.<\/p>\n
According to Longwood Police, it didn’t take long for officers to spot 49-year-old Craig Joseph Naughtin walking southbound on U.S. Highway 17\/92 in the direction of the Lake Fairy Motel.<\/p>\n
Investigators said Naughtin has a history of passing notes at banks and has a 2015 arrest by the FBI for a similar crime in Pompano Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n
Naughtin was arrested on charges of attempted robbery and attempted grand theft. Officers said no money was taken from the bank.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2 Columbus narcotics officers federally charged for allegedly helping distribute fentanyl<\/h3>\n
Two Columbus [Ohio] narcotics officers are accused of distributing fentanyl and attempting to smuggle other drugs, according to a release from the United States Department of Justice.<\/p>\n
Officers John Kotchkoski, 33, and Marco Merino, 44, were arrested on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
According to the DOJ, both officers were involved in the distribution of seven and a half kilograms of fentanyl. Additionally, Merino reportedly accepted bribes to protect the transportation of cocaine, it reads in the release.<\/p>\n
Merino reportedly intended to gain citizenship in Mexico by laundering drug proceeds, court records show. During his efforts, he allegedly attempted to recruit a confidential informant, offering law enforcement protection in the process.<\/p>\n
Between March and September of this year, Merino accepted $44,000 in cash in exchange for transporting 27 kilograms of what he thought was cocaine. Instead, court documents show the transactions were being controlled by the FBI as part of its investigation.<\/p>\n
Records show Kotchkoski worked with Merino to help the transportation process.<\/p>\n
Footage captured by 10TV shows FBI agents and Columbus police going in and out of Merino’s Columbus home, collecting boxes of evidence on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
In June and Aug., Merino distributed the fentanyl provided by Kotchkoski, with an estimated value of $60-80,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cPossessing with intent to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl is a federal crime punishable by 10 years and up to life in prison. Federal Program Bribery is punishable by up to 10 years in prison,\u201d it reads in the release.<\/p>\n
Sam Shamansky, Kotchkoski’s lawyer shared his thoughts about the case with 10TV.<\/p>\n
“One of these police officers already openly acknowledged that he’s guilty and now he’s cooperating and trying to dig himself out of a hole. We know that for sure, right? Because people who are in trouble will generally do whatever they need to do to get out of trouble,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Georgia Homeowner Found Home Invader\u2019s Corpse on Porch After Two Dogs Mauled Him to Death: Authorities<\/h3>\n
Two dogs mauled an alleged intruder to death last week at a home in Georgia, authorities say. The dead man\u2019s body was discovered on the homeowner\u2019s porch after the suspected mauling incident.<\/p>\n
According to law enforcement, Alex Binyam Abraha, 21, made his way into the two-bedroom house located in a rural area of Newnan, Ga. on Sept. 24.<\/p>\n
Coweta County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputies arrived on the scene sometime after 10:30 a.m. in response to a report that someone was dead on the property. That someone was Abraha; his corpse had been found by the resident of the property that same morning.<\/p>\n
According to The Newnan Times-Herald, the sheriff\u2019s department worked with homicide investigators from the Georgia Bureau of Investigation \u2014 though the case was eventually not ruled a homicide.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday, the newspaper reported that a medical examiner with the GBI ruled that Abraha\u2019s cause of death was mauling, citing CCSO Investigator Toby Nix. By definition and practice, a homicide legally cannot occur when a human being is killed by a non-human animal.<\/p>\n
According to law enforcement, evidence suggests that the mauled man made entry into the home before quickly encountering the two large dogs.<\/p>\n
Doug Evans, a journalist with local Fox affiliate WAGA-TV, shared photos of the canines late Wednesday afternoon via Twitter:<\/p>\n
