Polish general fired after anti-tank mines found in Ikea warehouse<\/h3>\n

A Polish general was dismissed last week by the nation\u2019s defense minister after reportedly misplacing a batch of anti-tank mines that were later found in an Ikea warehouse, according to Polish news outlet Onet.<\/p>\n

Maj. Gen. Artur K?pczy?ski was fired Jan. 9 for reasons that were not specified by Polish military officials, though numerous local reports suggested the missing explosives were \u2014 naturally \u2014 the catalyst for his dismissal.<\/p>\n

In June 2024, a train carrying more than 1,000 tons of explosives was improperly unloaded by Polish troops, the report said, who mistakenly left the anti-tank mines to continue their rail-bound journey around the country until they were eventually offloaded in the furniture behemoth\u2019s warehouse.<\/p>\n

K?pczy?ski, meanwhile, reportedly kept the mishap from his superiors while furnishing subsequent supply reports that featured false numbers.<\/p>\n

That approach appeared to have worked \u2014 at least until an Ikea warehouse representative telephoned military officials and inquired about \u201cwhen they would collect their mines,\u201d according to one report.<\/p>\n

The Polish defense ministry posted on X confirming the dismissal of K?pczynski, who was reportedly a lead figure in the service\u2019s logistics support element. An investigation into the incident is ongoing, the report said.<\/p>\n

Though the story is indeed eccentric, Ikea, which was once exposed for using horse meat in over a dozen countries to craft their delectable Swedish meatballs, is no stranger to outlandish episodes. The furniture store\u2019s cavernous confines, surpassed only by Moria when it comes to mine-hosting capacity, has playing host to all manner of stranger-than-fiction tales.<\/p>\n

In 2012, for instance, a Japanese macaque monkey named Darwin escaped his Ontario-based owner\u2019s crate and was later seen galavanting through an Ikea store wearing a sheepskin coat and diaper.<\/p>\n

The following year, New Jersey-based couple Rashid Smith and Shirley Stewart were married in the same Ikea where they\u2019d met eight years prior. It\u2019s a Jersey thing.<\/p>\n

And who could forget 12-year-old Peng Yijian of China, who in 2014 ran away and hid for six days in a Shanghai Ikea before he was found by local police.<\/p>\n

Classic Peng.<\/p>\n

Whether K?pczy?ski will face further punishment remains to be seen, though the sheer humiliation of the ordeal may offer retribution enough.<\/p>\n

It is, after all, an incident come to life out of every veteran\u2019s nightmares, those unique post-service cerebral ticks that yield \u201cHere I am deployed to combat, but I\u2019ve forgotten my rifle\u201d terrors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Body cam shows officers walk away from man found shot, still breathing: \u2018Let\u2019s cruise around and come back\u2019<\/h3>\n

Shocking body camera footage shows two St. Louis Metropolitan Police (SLMPD) officers walking away from a still-breathing victim of a gunshot wound to the head because they said they did not want to take the call.<\/p>\n

The footage obtained by KMOV contains the body camera video of several responding officers at the scene.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement experts said the inaction of the first two officers is in stark contrast to the proper actions of the other officers who arrived on the scene.<\/p>\n

The footage from Sept. 10, 2023, shows the response by former SLMPD officers Austin Fraser and Ty Warren to a 911 call placed by Urayoan Rodriguez-Rivera saying he planned to take his own life.<\/p>\n

Warren\u2019s body camera recorded the response. Fraser\u2019s did not, though the reason is unclear.<\/p>\n

At 6:26 p.m. on the date Rodriguez-Rivera took his life, the officers discovered him beneath a tree on the east side of the popular Forest Park in St. Louis, still breathing, with a gunshot wound to the head.<\/p>\n

Warren can be heard telling Fraser that Rodriguez-Rivera is still alive and that they need to transport him to the hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe better take this motherf***er then,\u201d Warren tells his partner.<\/p>\n

Fraser replied that he didn\u2019t want to take the call because his shift ended in 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t taking this sh*t,\u201d Fraser responds. \u201cI get off in 30 minutes. Let\u2019s cruise around and come back.\u201d<\/p>\n

The officers leave Rodriguez-Rivera with a gunshot wound and still breathing beneath the tree. Neither officer calls for medical help for the victim or tries to render any first aid. Neither officer reports to dispatch that the victim was discovered. They also walk away laughing.<\/p>\n

Nothing on Warren\u2019s body camera video shows either of the officers tried to find or secure a firearm used by Rodriguez-Rivera. His death was determined to be a suicide, but the gun was never found.<\/p>\n

Mitch McCoy, a spokesperson for SLMPD, said in a statement that the firearm is listed as stolen and the investigation into it is ongoing. The department is monitoring hits in the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN).<\/p>\n

\u201cTo date, there have been none,\u201d McCoy said.<\/p>\n

As the two officers walk away from the dying man, Fraser says to Warren, \u201cThey\u2019re [other officers] gonna find this mother****er and we\u2019re gonna be like, \u2018Oh sh*t you found him.\u2019\u201d The two officers can then be heard laughing on body camera audio.<\/p>\n

The two officers drive through several city streets and return to the victim about 10 minutes later. They arrive just before another officer does. In that officer\u2019s body camera footage, Fraser and Warren can be seen \u201clooking\u201d for the victim they had walked away from minutes earlier, pretending as if it was the first time they arrived at the scene.<\/p>\n

The third officer then spots Rodriguez-Rivera and immediately notifies dispatch. He then makes a priority request that EMS come to the scene for a person still breathing with a gunshot wound to the head.<\/p>\n

Other officers also arrive shortly after and tape off the scene. One officer checks Rodriguez-Rivera for a pulse and finds one, which he describes as \u201csuper weak.\u201d As that officer searches the area for a firearm, another officer tries to render first aid.<\/p>\n

At 6:38 p.m., an officer\u2019s body camera shows Warren and Fraser walking to their police cruiser and leaving the scene for a second time. At least two other officers mention it.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what\u2019s f***ed up? Warren and Fraser just left,\u201d one of the officers says in body camera audio.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy?\u201d asks the other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d he replies.<\/p>\n

Another officer said he was going to \u201cout the f*** out of Fraser\u201d for leaving the active scene at 6:38.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t just leave,\u201d the officer said to a colleague while in a police cruiser.<\/p>\n

EMS arrived at the scene at 6:53 p.m. and transported Rodriguez-Rivera to the hospital. That was about 27 minutes after Warren and Fraser arrived the first time and 40 minutes after the victim made the initial call to 911.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez-Rivera later died at the hospital. The St. Louis Medical Examiner\u2019s Office determined the death a suicide by gunshot to the head. It was later discovered he left a note and paid his share of the rest of the year\u2019s rent before taking his own life.<\/p>\n

Warren\u2019s peace officer license has been revoked through the disciplinary process. A disciplinary hearing in Fraser\u2019s case was set for last week.<\/p>\n

Both officers were fired from the department after police administrators found the footage during a routine review of body camera recordings.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe two individuals are no longer employed by the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department,\u201d agency spokesperson McCoy said in a statement. \u201cWhile we are unable to comment on specific personnel matters, SLMPD holds its officers to the highest of standards. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken if an officer is found to have violated policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rodriguez-Rivera\u2019s mother, who lives in Puerto Rico, expressed disbelief at what transpired. In a text message in Spanish, she described the officers\u2019 actions as a \u201clack of humanity,\u201d saying, \u201cI hope the full weight of the law falls on these so-called police officers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Warren and Fraser have not returned KMOV\u2019s multiple attempts to contact them for comment.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Woman arrested after accidentally texting sheriff\u2019s department instead of drug dealer<\/h3>\n

A woman was arrested after accidentally texting a sheriff\u2019s department investigator instead of the drug dealer she was trying to contact.<\/p>\n

According to the Bay County [Florida] Sheriff\u2019s Office, Octavia Wells, 41, sent a text asking to purchase fentanyl before she left town. She thought she was texting a drug dealer, but accidentally texted a narcotics investigator with the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

The investigator began communicating with Wells and went undercover, setting up the \u201csale of fentanyl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wells went to a gas station to meet the man she thought was a dealer. Instead, she met authorities.<\/p>\n

Wells was arrested and charged with unlawful use of a two-way communication device, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Man arrested after attempting to direct I-79 traffic with a gun: Police<\/h3>\n

A man is facing charges after officers with the Bridgeport Police Department say he tried to direct interstate traffic using an illegally owned gun.<\/p>\n

According to a criminal complaint, on Jan. 12, officers responded to Interstate 79 South near the Meadowbrook Mall for a vehicle accident where one of the vehicles caught fire.<\/p>\n

When officers arrived on the scene, they said they noticed a man, later identified as Aaron Misner, standing in the middle lane and waving traffic with what they initially believed was a flashlight, but later noticed it was a firearm.<\/p>\n

Officers said that Misner was \u201cwaving the firearm around dangerously, pointing the muzzle toward the cars in traffic to direct them around the vehicle fire.\u201d Officers then were notified of Misner\u2019s criminal history and noted that he had a felony charge in South Carolina, prohibiting him from having a firearm.<\/p>\n

Misner has been charged with wanton endangerment and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm. As of Monday evening, he is no longer in the West Virginia Division of Corrections system.<\/p>\n

A 12 News reporter captured the scene of the wreck Sunday night which you can see below. No injuries were reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
