Yamhill County deputy charged with masturbating in patrol car<\/h3>\n

A Yamhill County Sheriff\u2019s Office deputy has been charged with 12 misdemeanor counts related to exposing his genitals and performing sexual acts in public, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

According to court documents obtained by FOX 12, the Benton County district attorney\u2019s office on Dec. 14 accused David Richard Mills, 36, of masturbating into a water bottle of another person, with the intent of that person unknowingly drinking it, and then posting video of the incident online for a financial benefit. That incident happened on Jan. 5, 2022, according to court documents.<\/p>\n

Mills was also accused of masturbating in a public building and posting a video of it online the same day.<\/p>\n

On April 2, 2023 Mills allegedly posted a picture of himself online while he was wearing his uniform with his penis exposed.<\/p>\n

He also allegedly placed his exposed penis on a countertop in the sheriff\u2019s office on Aug. 6, 2023.<\/p>\n

In total, Mills was charged with: Official misconduct in the first degree, public indecency, official misconduct in the second degree (four counts), disorderly conduct in the second degree (three counts), public indecency, and abuse of venerated objects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith respect to general principal our position is that we understand that the community has a high level of expectation for the professionalism for those who work in public safety. When there is any breach in that professionalism, we take that very seriously,\u201d wrote Benton County District Attorney John Haroldson in a statement to FOX 12. \u201cThere is an expectation from the public with respect to professional standards from those who work in public safety. We strongly support those standards and take seriously any concerns regarding a case where there is misconduct or abuse of that authority.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to a statement released shortly before 7 p.m. Friday by the Yamhill County Sheriff\u2019s Office, deputies were told about the content on Sept. 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cUsing information provided by the reporting party, YCSO Command staff were able to confirm there were, in fact, publicly accessible images and content available online which could constitute both violations of internal policies of Yamhill County Sheriff\u2019s Office and general policies of Yamhill County,\u201d The YCSO statement says.<\/p>\n

That same day, \u201cthe same employee depicted in the content\u201d was placed on leave, the statement says. YCSO did not name the deputy in their statement.<\/p>\n

YCSO also asked the Washington County Sheriff\u2019s Office to investigate and the Benton County District Attorney\u2019s Office to review the case.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the filing of criminal charges is a very serious consideration for a law enforcement agency, we must be thorough and accurate in our response, follow the appropriate due process steps, and follow the applicable steps as outlined in the collective bargaining agreement,\u201d the statement says.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Someone tried to sneak anti-aircraft ammunition through security at Hawaii’s biggest airport inside a thermos flask<\/h3>\n

A checked-luggage room at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Hawaii was evacuated Friday after officials found anti-aircraft ammunition inside a thermos.<\/p>\n

The Transportation Security Administration told Business Insider that its X-ray technology flagged a checked bag for a potential security threat.<\/p>\n

The agency said that its officers and an explosive specialist reviewed the X-ray image before contacting airport law enforcement.<\/p>\n

State sheriffs, the Honolulu Police’s bomb squad, and the US Air Force’s explosive ordnance disposal unit responded. TSA said they chose to evacuate the room “out of an abundance of caution.”<\/p>\n

“They identified the suspicious item as a 50 caliber anti-aircraft round of ammunition inside of a thermos,” TSA said.<\/p>\n

The statement added that operations returned to normal about two hours later at 7:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

In October, TSA announced that it expects this year will break the record set last year for the number of firearms intercepted at airport security checkpoints \u2014 at an average of nearly 20 per day.<\/p>\n

“What we see in our checkpoints really reflects what we’re seeing in society, and in society there are more people carrying firearms nowadays,” TSA administrator David Pekoske previously told the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Later that month, a Washington state senator was arrested in Hong Kong after he said he accidentally brought an unloaded gun in his carry-on, which wasn’t detected when he passed through security in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

And back in 2022, the then-congressman Madison Cawthorn was fined $250 after pleading guilty to bringing a loaded handgun through a TSA checkpoint, per CNN.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Florida police officer quits after being arrested for shoplifting multiple times: authorities<\/h3>\n

A Haines City, Florida police officer was arrested over the weekend after he and a woman he was with were allegedly caught shoplifting from Walmart when they failed to scan items before bagging them, on multiple occasions.<\/p>\n

The Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office said 48-year-old David Griffin of Mulberry, Florida was arrested on Saturday after deputies responded to a Walmart on Church Avenue North.<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, deputies learned Griffin was employed as a police officer in Haines City since 2019 \u2013 he has since resigned from the department.<\/p>\n

The sheriff\u2019s office also said 28-year-old Shelbi Dubose was with Griffin at the time of his arrest, and she was arrested as well.
\n“It is always disappointing to me when someone in law enforcement commits a crime and betrays the trust of their community,” Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. “Haines City is a wonderful city, and they have a top-notch professional police department. We will absolutely hold Griffin accountable for his actions. The only thing he did right was immediately resign upon his arrest.”<\/p>\n

Detectives learned that a store employee observed Griffin placing items in bags without scanning them. The employee spoke to Griffin about the unscanned items and helped correct the problem.<\/p>\n

But when the employee walked away, Griffin and Dubose allegedly continued bagging items without scanning them.<\/p>\n

When the duo attempted to leave, security team members stopped them.<\/p>\n

Griffin and Dubose allegedly scanned and paid for $207.72 worth of merchandise, while failing to scan $343.22 worth of merchandise.<\/p>\n

Walmart personnel investigated Griffin\u2019s debit card usage at the store, which involved pulling security video of the transaction. They allege that Griffin committed four similar thefts on Oct. 15, Oct. 29, Nov. 10 and Nov. 26, and on three of those occasions, Dubose participated.<\/p>\n

Griffin was charged with five counts of retail petit theft, and Dubose was charged with four counts of the same crime.<\/p>\n

“I want to assure the public that we hold our officers to the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct,” Haines City Police Department Chief Greg Goreck said. “The recent arrest of one of our officers is deeply troubling and contrary to the values of our department. This behavior is not representative of the dedicated men and women who serve our community with honor and commitment every day. Let it be known, had Officer Griffin not resigned, his removal from duty would have been swift and decisive. We have zero tolerance for such actions and are committed to maintaining public trust through accountability and transparency.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Walmart shoplifting suspect busted at ‘Shop With a Cop’ charity event<\/h3>\n

You hear about a lot of retail fraud around the holidays, but The Grinch That Stole Christmas at a Livingston County Walmart, took it to a whole new level.<\/p>\n

It played out during the annual “Shop With a Cop” last weekend at the Walmart near Howell – meant to help kids in need. Police partnered with the little ones to help them shop.<\/p>\n

“We bring children that might otherwise not have a good Christmas get to come to the store,” said Lt. Rene Gonzalez, Michigan State Police. “They get $100, sometimes a $150 gift card to go and shop for themselves with your family.”<\/p>\n

The event included state troopers and police parading in lights and sirens, so it was very clear they were there. But for a 62-year-old shopper, it didn\u2019t matter at all.<\/p>\n

She loaded her cart up with about $730 worth of stuff and dashed through self-checkout.<\/p>\n

“Groceries, clothes, all kinds of stuff,” Gonzalez said. “It wasn’t bagged up. And then she walked out of the store with it.”<\/p>\n

She ignored the clerk \u2013 who asked for her receipt and then out to her car, ironically parked right next to a police cruiser, and began loading up her sleigh.<\/p>\n

Walmart told a trooper who had to leave his little shopping buddy behind, to stop the Grinch – who couldn\u2019t produce a receipt for any of it.<\/p>\n

Gonzalez remarked on the brazen nature of the caper.<\/p>\n

“I do have to say it surprised me because when I’m driving a patrol car, people slow down,” he said. “When you see 75 cops in the store, I mean, I don’t know if maybe they thought we were too busy.”<\/p>\n

The trooper was able to get back to finish the event, but the 62-year-old woman was arrested.<\/p>\n

She was taken to the Livingston County Jail, but bonded out \u2013 she will be charged with retail fraud. FOX 2 will release her name once she\u2019s charged.<\/p>\n

“I honestly think that\u2019s something that you can’t be in your right mind, doing something like that,” said shopper Mariah Manion.<\/p>\n

FOX 2 did a court records search of the suspect from this story \u2013 she doesn\u2019t have any priors, just some traffic tickets out of East Lansing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
