Chicago man charged with threatening judge in court: \u2018As soon as she gets off that bench, I\u2019ll shoot that b****\u2019<\/h3>\n

A man has been jailed as a public safety threat after prosecutors accused him of threatening to kill a Cook County judge who is handling a civil domestic matter that he is involved in.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll beat the f*** out of you, you stupid b****,\u201d Marcos Ramos allegedly threatened while standing before Judge Debjani Desai. \u201cAs soon as she gets off that bench, I\u2019ll shoot that b****.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramos, 35, allegedly made the threats during a January 8 hearing in Desai\u2019s courtroom at the Cook County Juvenile Center, 1100 South Hamilton. The judge hears cases in the Child Protection Division.<\/p>\n

The next day, prosecutors say, Ramos called the Cook County State\u2019s Attorney\u2019s Office and identified himself as Ramos\u2019 brother, Brandon.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow can you take my kids away from me?\u201d he allegedly asked, apparently forgetting that he was supposed to be his brother.<\/p>\n

Ramos went on to threaten to file a federal lawsuit through the state of Michigan and warned that he couldn\u2019t control his brother, the state\u2019s criminal complaints said. He allegedly gave the receptionist a 24-hour deadline \u201cor bad things will happen,\u201d adding that Ramos would \u201cshoot up the courthouse\u201d and he could not stop his brother from doing it, according to the complaints.<\/p>\n

He is charged with five counts of harassment, two counts of intimidation, two counts of filing a false report, threatening a public official, and misdemeanor resisting.<\/p>\n

Judge Deidre Dyer granted the state\u2019s petition to keep Ramos in custody. In their petition, prosecutors said Ramos has two convictions in Ohio for \u201csimilar charges.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to court records, Ramos has two misdemeanor cases pending in the court\u2019s Domestic Violence Division; one alleges battery, and the other alleges assault and violating an order of protection. Judge Desai is not handling either of those matters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the dog house. Richland deputies arrested, fired after allegedly stealing from K-9 unit<\/h3>\n

As the Richland County Sheriff\u2019s Department last year mourned the loss of two K9s killed while pursuing thieves, two of the department\u2019s own K9 handlers were stealing from it, Sheriff Leon Lott said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Two K9 specialists ? Kory Mayo and Issac Page ? were arrested and charged with misconduct in office, according to Lott. Both men are facing up to 10 years in jail<\/p>\n

Lott said Mayo and Page were stealing K-9 equipment from the sheriff\u2019s department and selling the items online via social media. The sheriff said the deputies were fired from the department last week and were arrested at 9 a.m. Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI apologize to the community,\u201d Lott said during a Wednesday news conference, adding that Mayo and Page had \u201ctarnished the badge.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sheriff said an investigation showed that the thefts and subsequent selling of the stolen items had been going on since February 2024. The deputies brought in less than $10,000, he said.<\/p>\n

Lott said that Mayo and Page worked the same shift together at the department. Page had been working for about four years at the sheriff\u2019s department, while Mayo had been there for about three years. A third deputy on the shift is angry about the suspects\u2019 alleged crimes, Lott said.<\/p>\n

The stolen equipment includes vaults placed in the back of patrol vehicles to lock up guns, muzzles, leashes and \u201ca lot of different things that go with the K-9 unit,\u201d Lott said.<\/p>\n

Lott said the scheme was discovered after an investigator noticed equipment being offered for sale online. That sparked an undercover operation in which an investigator went to a social media platform one of the suspects had created under a false name and arranged to purchase some of the stolen equipment.<\/p>\n

The undercover officer was directed to make the purchase at the sheriff\u2019s department\u2019s parking lot. The seller drove a sheriff\u2019s department patrol vehicle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile [the suspects] were supposedly working, they were stealing,\u201d Lott said in Wednesday\u2019s news conference. \u201cThey were using some of our own equipment to steal the stuff they were stealing, and then when they were selling it, they were selling it while they were on duty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The arrests came about a month after the sheriff\u2019s department lost its second K-9 of 2024. K-9 Bumi was killed Dec. 23 while pursuing suspects of a stolen vehicle after deputies attempted a traffic stop on Parklane Road.<\/p>\n

In June, K9 Wick was killed on I-77 while pursing a stolen car suspect. of a stolen car.<\/p>\n

Despite the community\u2019s potential for outrage about the arrests, Lott said these were only two bad apples out of of 900, and that the investigator who uncovered the thefts \u201cdid the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the investigator came across it, she didn\u2019t ignore it,\u201d Lott said. \u201cWhen our investigators started working (the case) they put the full weight on them both,\u201d referring to Mayo and Page, who were booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center Wednesday.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hunters who didn\u2019t want to stop shooting get \u2018sad slap on the wrist\u2019<\/h3>\n

Four duck hunters attempted to deceive Texas Game Wardens over the number of ducks they shot before three of them from Louisiana finally admitted to exceeding their daily bag limit of six each, and for a rather disgusting reason.<\/p>\n

The three Louisiana poachers said they didn\u2019t want to stop shooting, claiming this was more ducks than they had seen all season in Texas and Louisiana, the Texas Game Wardens related in a Facebook post.<\/p>\n

Game wardens from Hamilton and Bosque counties were patrolling the Brazos River in Bosque County when they heard several volleys of gunfire nearby. They found no violations. But when loading up their boat, they heard more gunfire from the same area.<\/p>\n

They used a satellite mapping program to pinpoint several private lakes in the area that could be potential hunting locations.<\/p>\n

Near one entrance, they encountered a man in camouflage exiting an equipment shed. He appeared evasive and was seen urgently texting.<\/p>\n

From the Texas Game Wardens report:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe man directed the wardens to a nearby duck blind, where three nervous hunters were packing up their gear and offered conflicting details about their group size. Initially claiming there were eight hunters\u2014then seven\u2014none of the remaining hunters could name the hunters who had allegedly left.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs one warden interviewed the hunters, the other went to inspect a pile of ducks on the opposite bank. As he was checking the ducks, the warden discovered a fourth individual behind the dam, dressed in camouflage with a stringer of ducks he was attempting to hide. The hunter lacked a valid hunting license and had crossed two fences to conceal the 16 birds. When confronted, the group falsely claimed he was retrieving a lost bird.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther investigation revealed numerous violations. Near the blind, wardens found additional ducks and roughly 250 shotgun shells and hulls containing prohibited lead shot. The hunters admitted to using leftover shot from dove season, knowing it was illegal for waterfowl hunting.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was determined that four individuals were hunting, and only three had valid hunting licenses. In all, the men used four shotguns to illegally harvest 54 ducks, 30 more than their combined legal limit.<\/p>\n

\u201cMultiple citations were issued for exceeding the bag limit, hunting without a valid license, and using lead shot for waterfowl,\u201d the Texas Game Wardens post stated. \u201cThe hunters were also charged civil restitution for the illegally taken ducks. The fines and restitution total for the group was more than $7,000.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenters on the Texas Game Wardens Facebook page took exception to the fine, most saying it should have been much more. A sample of comments:<\/p>\n

\u201cGood job busting the outlaws, but what a sad slap on the wrist. That\u2019s not nearly enough to discourage that kind of behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTake their hunting privileges!! This is absolutely insane!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy opinion is the total fines and restitution should have been a lot more than $7,000. Maybe jail time and loss of equipment and firearms. Does that sound too tough? NO they stole from us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople like this are why hunters get a bad rep. Shame on them. Hopefully lesson learned. They got off easy with only $7,000 fine for the group.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad the wardens trusted their gut and found these poachers but also wish the punishment would have been harsher. Especially since they actively tried to deceive the wardens and knowingly broke so many regulations\/laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should never be able to purchase a Texas hunting license. $7,000 is not nearly enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ducks were seized, cleaned and distributed to families in Hamilton and Bosque counties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis case serves as a clear example of the need for adherence to hunting regulations to preserve wildlife populations,\u201d the Texas Game Wardens stated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
