Andy Rooney ending

92-year-old has

calling it quits
f r o m 6 0
Minutes, says
CBS. The 92-
year-old will
announce the move at the end of this
Sunday's essay, which the network notes
will be No. 1,097 since 1978. Though a
network fixture, Rooney has run into
repeated criticism that he's out of touch with
modern culture, notes the TVNewser blog.
"There's nobody like Andy and there
never will be," says CBS News chief Jeff
Fager. "His contributions to 60 Minutes are
immeasurable; he's also a great friend. It's
harder for him to do it every week, but he
will always have the ability to speak his
mind on 60 Minutes when the urge hits
him."
US Fugitive caught after
41 years in Portugal
Killer, hijacker George Wright
fighting extradition
This might be
the end of the
road for fugitive
George Wright,
but what a road
i t ' s b e e n .
A u t h o r i t i e s
arrested the 68-
y e a r -o l d i n
P o r t u g a l
yesterday after
41 years on the
lam. Even the
bare bones of his rap sheet nearly defy belief, as
CNN and AP recount: In 1962, he murdered a
gas station owner (a highly decorated WWII vet)
during a robbery; he escaped from prison in 1970
(reportedly by stealing the warden's car), then
went underground with the Black Liberation
Army.
In 1972, while dressed as a priest, he and
others hijacked a plane to Algiers (after making
FBI agents dress in bathing suits to deliver
ransom money).
Algeria returned the plane and money but
allowed the hijackers to disappear, which they
did with help from Black Panther activist
Eldridge Cleaver, who was living in the country.
Wright remained on the loose for four decades
until a dogged New Jersey corrections officer got
a lead (possibly because Wright contacted
relatives in the US) that resulted in his arrest.
Wright is fighting extradition back to the US.
One other tidbit: The 1972 hijacking led to
stricter airport security rules, requiring for the
first time that all passengers and their handbags
be screened.

Representative Rehwinkel Vasilinda
Files Death Penalty
Repealer Bill
SEPTEMBER 27, 2011 Tallahassee – Amid growing
concerns over the possible execution of
wrongfully convicted prisoners and the
exorbitant cost to the state, State Representative
Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda (D-Tallahassee)
has filed House Bill 4051, which would end the
death penalty in Florida.
"I'm not in the business of dispensing
vengeance. As a state representative, I am in the
business of making decisions to help keep
Floridians safe from crime while spending
taxpayer money prudently. HB 4051 will achieve both goals,‖ said
Representative Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda.
Executions are carried out at staggering cost to taxpayers. In its
2000 report, ―The High Price of Killing Killers,‖ the Palm Beach Post
found that Florida spent approximately $51 million each year to enforce
the death penalty.
―It cost at least $51 million a year and over 30 years to arrive at the
day of execution for Manuel Valle, who is scheduled to be put to death
by what may be Governor Scott's first signature on a death warrant.
With that $51 million we could put 850 law enforcement officers on
Florida's streets, as well as adding more FDLE investigators and
equipment to our arsenal against crime,‖ said Representative Rehwinkel
Vasilinda.
Life without parole is a sensible alternative to the death penalty.
Almost every state in the country now has life in prison without parole.
Unlike decades ago, a sentence of life without parole means exactly
what it says – convicts locked away in prison until they die. In reality, it
is much less expensive to keep a criminal in prison for life without
parole than it is for the state to execute them. A sentence of life in
prison without parole allows mistakes to be corrected or new evidence
to come to light. That would increase faith and fairness in our justice
system.
In addition, state sponsored executions have been unjustly applied;
innocent people have been killed; and each execution cause rifts in the
fabric of our civil society. All of this when we could be turning our
attention and spending our time and money toward solving our state's
many challenges. The recent protests and national concern over the
execution of Troy Davis is emblematic of the lack of trust more and
more people are demonstrating in the justice and accuracy of state
sponsored executions. That is not good for the respect and dignity for
the law.
"One of the underlying questions in the debate about state-sponsored
executions is what is the proper role and place of government? The
appropriate question for state government is how do we keep people
safe from crime in the most cost effective way? When you analyze the
numbers, state sponsored execution is not the correct answer," says Rep.
Rehwinkel Vasilinda.

Solyndra, “the future of green energy”
By Ron Hart
“an insane business model. The
numbers just don’t work, and
they never did.”
Peter Lynch, a solar industry
analyst on Solyndra
In 2008 and until an intervention in the
form of the 2010 elections, the Democrats had a
supermajority with the House, Senate and Presidency.
They looted the country like it was Katrina again,
knowing the cops would soon be there.
A part of that was a $535 million ―fast tracked‖ loan to
Solyndra that was sped up so Obama could visit them
and use them in a speech applaud himself. The loan was
denied under Bush.
Trumpeted by Obama as the future of green energy,
Solyndra, with accumulated losses of $558 million in its
five-year existence, filed bankruptcy. Solyndra went
broke leaving us tax payers with the bill, so I guess
Obama was right, that is the future of his deals.
We learned that community organizing is not the best
training to be a venture capitalists. Solyndra’s solar
panels did not work well; turns out Snooki from The
Jersey Shore absorbs more sunlight. We could have
created more energy by burning our $535 million in one
dollar bills in a power plant. That technically is green-
back energy, so Obama can brag about that.
This is what happens with Chicago-style crony
capitalism. The business fails, the tax payers foot the bill
and political friend rack up. Ex- Mass. Gov. Weld will
do well too; he will charge $800 an hour to lawyer the
bankrupt company. It’s called reaching across the aisle.
Al Gore, a government employee for life, broke the
code on getting rich on this green energy scam.
Celebrity Networth says Gore has over $100 million.

1121 BECK AVE;
The Purple Grape ….Disorderly On 09/24/2011 at 2019 hours,
I responded to 1121 Beck
Avenue, The Purple Grape, in
reference to a subject causing a
disturbance. Upon my arrival,
their was a couple sitting at a
t a b l e o u t s i d e t h i s
establishment. The witness
advised he was approached by
an intoxicated male subject
and he requested the subject to
leave him and his spouse
alone. The subject became
irate and began using profanity
and coming at the male in a
threatening manner. The male
stated the subject kept insisting
he knew martial arts and
continued to instigate a fight
with the witness. He stated the
owner of the establishment
came outside to intervene.
Officer Hammond pulled up
on scene prior to my arrival,
and witnessed the male subject
causing a disturbance by
yelling at the witness on the
sidewalk. I made contact with
the subject and he willingly
admitted he was under the
inf luence of a lcohol ic
beverages. I retrieved a pocket
knife attached to his belt and
another pocket knife in his left
pant pocket for our safety. The
subject was placed under arrest
for disorderly intoxication .
His wife arrived on scene and
retrieved his property prior to
me transporting him to the Bay
County Jail. He was then
transported to the jail and
turned over to their personnel.

PHYSICAL Disturbance O n 0 9 / 2 5 / 2 0 1 1 a t
approximately 0415 hours, I
responded to 4325 W.
Highway 98, (Omelet House),
in reference to subjects
involved in a physical
confrontation. Upon my
arrival, I made contact with
both subjects, in the parking
lot. They appeared to have
sustained minor injuries during
the fight. One subject advised
he threw the first punch due to
the other instigating a fight by
being loud and belligerent
towards him and others within
the business. They both agreed
to step outside to battle it out.
EMS was summoned due to a
laceration under one of the
subject's eye. Both subjects
stated neither one wanted to
prosecute for the charge of
battery. They shook hands and
apologized to one another,
when all was said and done.

SUSPICIOUS PERSON
Ofc. Patterson D
On 09-25-2011 I was on patrol
near the Macedonia Garden
Apartment complex. As I
pulled into the complex from
17th street I noticed a subject
sitting in the "C" building
breezeway. I further observed
him jerk his head toward me,
stand-up and rapidly walk west
through the breezeway. I
noticed this subject get onto a
bicycle and pedal toward the
Flower Avenue entrance . I
exited the complex and
positioned my patrol car on
Flower Avenue just south of
17th street as the subject was
travelling north on Flower
Avenue from the Macedonia
entrance. I exited my car and
asked the subject to talk to me.
The subject said "I aint done
nothing" and began rapidly
pedaling away from me. I
began pursuing the subject on
foot west bound on 17th
Street. Just before the subject
approached Frankford Avenue,
Ofc. Harris arrived in his
patrol car. Ofc. Harris was
positioned next to the subject
with his lights and siren
activated in an attempt to stop
the subject. The subject bailed
off of his bicycle in the 2100
block of west 17th street. At
this time I was still running
about thirty yards behind the
subject and Ofc. Harris. I
observed Ofc. Harris and the
subject struggle for a brief
moment where the subject
broke free and continued to
run west bound. The subject
jumped a fence into the back
yard of 1701 Clay Avenue and
continued in an unknown
direction. Several other units
arrived in the area in an
attempt to locate this subject.
The bicycle was placed into
impound at the Panama City
Police department. Ofc. Harris
recovered a 22 caliber Ruger
handgun from when he
struggled with the subject. Ofc.
Harris turned this gun over to
this officer. The gun was found
to be stolen out of Escambia
County in 2001. The gun was
placed into evidence and will
be sent off for prints along
with the magazine and
ammunition. It is unknown at
this time as to the identity of
the subject.

Henry Davis Park;
1309 Roosevelt dr Alcohol Offense Ofc. Hildebrandt R
Myself and Deputy Coram
were on bike patrol in the area
of a city park, (Henry Davis
Park). We had received
several complaints from
residents in the area about
people hanging out in the park
and drinking alcohol. We
approached the park, I
observed 2 men sitting on the
picnic table inside the city
park. One of the men looked
up and saw us approaching.
I observed that male later
identified as Ronnie Mathis,
take a bottle wrapped in paper
bag that was sitting next to
him and place it on the ground
behind the table leg in attempt
to conceal it from my view. As
I approached the men, I
identified myself and the
reason for contact was his
suspicious activity, and my
belief that he was in
possession of alcohol, due to
his attempt to conceal the
bottle from my view. I advised
him being in possession of an
opened alcohol container
while inside a city park is
illegal. I observed the same
opened bottle that he had
attempted to conceal in plain
view on the ground behind the
table leg. There was no other
bottle on the ground in the
place he concealed his bottle. I
observed the pop top was off
and I could smell the odor of
alcohol coming from the bottle
and from Mathis breath. I
recovered the open bottle of
bud ice lager 5.5% alcohol by
volume beer and properly
disposed of it. That fact that he
attempted to conceal the beer
from us, supported the fact
that he knew alcohol was
illegal inside the park and that
he was committing a crime,
because if it was any other non
-alcohol beverage, he would
not have tried to conceal it. I
placed Mathis under arrest for
violating M.O. 3-3 which
prohibits one from possession
and open alcoholic beverage
while inside a city park. He
was then transported to the
Bay County Jail, where he was
charged accordingly.
…..and shot him
a bird PCPD 11-12727 11-12727 9/23/2011 7:02:30PM 300 E 6TH ST; Grocery Outlet East Disorderly
On 9-23-2011 around 7:00
p.m. I was working an off-
duty detail at the Grocery
Outlet. I was approached by
the suspect who stated that he
had asked a subject for money
and he told him to get away
from him and the suspect felt
that the other person treated
him wrong. I advised him that
he did not need to be asking
for money. He stated that he
knew that. The other party
walked over and advised me
of what had took place but did
not wish any type of actions
be done. I advised the suspect
that he need to go find another
place to hang out for the night.
He began to walk away and
yelled at the employee "fxxx
you" and shot him a bird.
When the suspect did this
there were several small kids
walking out of the store. I
advised the suspect that he
was under arrest for disorderly
conduct. I completed all
paperwork on the suspect and
he was transported to the Bay
County Jail

hours a physical altercation took place in
front of Tommy Oliver Stadium between
XXXXXX and Leverett. The two were
separated by Deputies Page and Lupica.
Both were taken into custody. Their

During the altercation a 2007 Gray
Ford Expedition owned by Cain was

was scratched and dented.
I made contact with XXXXXXXX out
front. XXXXXXXX said he saw some
dude come up to him, who looked like he
wanted to fight. XXXXXXXX said so I
started swinging first. XXXXXXXX said,
XXXXXX jumped in to defend him.
While talking with XXXXXXXX another
fight started on 13th Street.
I made contact with Rogers, sister of
XXXXXX. She said that she saw a large
group of bay High School JV Football
players swarming out the gate. Rogers
said she new there was about to be a fight.
She saw Marcus Leverett approaching her
brother/ XXXXXX. She tried to intervene
when the two started fighting. I told her to
contact me Monday at school so I could
get a statement from her, because the area
had not been secured. Rogers said there
were others present trying to fight to "D"
and another.XXXXXX was turned over to
his mother Regina Biggs.
I made contact with Leverett, reading
h i m t h e M i r a n d a W a r n i n g /
Acknowledgement of right card. Leverett
said he understood his rights and was
willing to speak to me. Leverett said he
was going into the stadium to locate some

and the two started fighting. Leverett said
XXXXXX threw him into the parked
vehicle which caused the damage.
Leverett was charged with disorderly
conduct, case reference 2011-065117.
Leverett said he wasn't fighting with
XXXXXXXX or did he know who he
was.

On 09-26-2011 I made contact with
XXXXXX and his mother in my office. I
explained to them the charges pending.
Regina Biggs said there were more
witnesses. I told her to have them contact
me at Bay High School and I would take a
sworn statement. Regina said XXXXXX
was holding a baby when the fight started.
The night of the incident Rogers said she
was holding the babies. Biggs said that
"Cito" (XXXX XXXXXXX) had
displayed a firearm in his belt that Rogers
saw. However Roger talked to me and
Sgt. Guilford that night and never
mentioned a firearm to either on of us.
Biggs wanted her son to provide a written
statement, but declined when I told her he
would need to sign a waiver of right form
first.
I made contact with XXXXXXXX and
his mother Katrina Biggs in my office. I
explained to her that by her sons own
admission 09-23-2011, he swung on the
other first. I told her I was not able to
confirm this at this time or he may be
looking at disorderly conduct charges.
She demanded her some write a
statement. XXXXXXXX started to write
a statement, and said that Leverette swung
on him first. When confronted about his
previous statement, he became angry, his
mother tore up the statement and declined
to provide a statement.
This case should be considered closed.
The suspect "Cito" was identified as
XXXX XXXXXXX. possible driving a
newer modal Chevy, small passenger type
car, like a VW. The suspect "D" was
identified as Deangelo Michael Otero.
Both were identified by Lynn Haven

The candy bar case Bay County Sheriff's Office Offense / Incident Report
Casenumber: 2011-065454 Reported On: 09/25/2011 @ 13:09
Location: 2117 SHERMAN AVE PANAMA CITY, FL 32405
Business Name: HILAND PARK BALL PAR
Testimony: FOUND THE OPEN DOOR TO THE CONCESSION STAND
Narrative On this date I responded to the Hiland Park Ball fields
in reference to a burglary of the concession stand. Upon arrival I
spoke to James Holt. James advised me he brought his kids to the
park to play and noticed the concession stand door was ajar. He
peeked in but did not see anyone. He then called the Sheriff's
Office to report there might be a burglary.
I went inside and noticed candy all over the floor along with
some cans of soda. The cabinet the cash register was on had been
pried open. It was apparent there were candy items missing as
there were blank spaces on the shelf. I went outside and observed
a picnic table pushed against the wall and what appeared to be
hand prints going into the open window. The window had bars
but there was plenty of room for a child to go in. I photographed
the immediate area including a shoe print in the dirt directly
under the picnic table.
I looked in the trash cans in the
park and started to find candy bar
boxes. At the picnic table near the
playground, I located three more boxes
and a debris trail where it appeared the
suspects were dropping things as they
left. Some of the chocolate was on the
ground and had not started to melt.
I also noted there were no ants on the spilled candy bars which
were unwrapped. I spoke to Deputy Duggins who arrived and he
said he was here a couple hours ago and observed a large group
of individuals playing baseball. I found the same shoe print along
with another distinct print near the picnic table. I followed the
shoe prints all the way to the back walking gate in patches of
sand onto E 19th place. The same distinct prints traveled along
this road to Sherman Ave then onto Gannon Circle where they
disappeared about 50 yards down the road in the dirt.
I returned to the concession and was later met by parks
worker Eddie Warren. He advised me he did not know if
anything was stolen or if the damaged cabinet was already like
that. I explained to him I located several empty boxes of candy
bars in the area and needed to determine if they were stolen. He
called someone else and advised me it would be Monday before
anyone could tell me anything. Dep Duggins dusted the cabinet
and windows for latents but found none that were usable.
Since Eddie was unable to help with the investigation and
there was not going to be anyone else enroute from the Parks
Dept, I gave him a case number and a list of items I needed such
as dollar amounts and items missing. The building was then re
secured. This case is pending.
Slain clerk laid to rest in Fort Myers FORT MYERS. All day Monday, Back Bay Market remained closed after this
weekend's deadly robbery. Outside the store family and friend lit candles in
memory of 29-year-old Muhammad Ali. His funeral service was held at 3pm
Monday afternoon at Lee Memorial Park in east Lee County. Ali was working
early Sunday morning at the convenient store on Ortiz Avenue, when two
men dressed in Halloween costumes robbed the store and seriously injured
Ali, who died a few hours later from his injuries.

Narrative On the above date and time I
was dispatched to 524 Mockingbird Dr in
reference to a Physical Altercation
involving several people. Cpl.BENNET,
Deputy PERRY, Deputy JACKSON and I
all arrived on scene.
Upon my arrival I made contact with
MEGAN HATCHELL who had been
battered. She had a black eye, several
abrasions and a bite on her back. As soon
as I started talking to her, WENDY
SNIPES was cussing and yelling advising
me to take her to jail. WENDY stated that
she grabbed LESLIE VANDYKE by the
hair and pulled her to the ground for
hitting her girlfriend MEGAN.
DEPUTY JACKSON and DEPUTY
PERRY was trying to get WENDY and
her mother NANCY JOHNSON under
control, who was yelling and cussing in
the street causing problems, and
interfering in the investigation.
I again tried to speak with MEGAN
who stated that a girl in a black tank top,
LESLIE, attacked her from out of no
where, and she believed that her babies
father, JONATHAN WESTON, set up
the attack. LESLIE is currently dating
JONATHAN.
MEGAN advised me that LESLIE has
been threatening her all night, however at
0100hrs JONATHAN called her wanting
to speak about their child. After dropping
WENDY off at her house on
Mockingbird Dr, she went next door to
JONATHANs and that's when she was
attacked.
I advised MEGAN that I didn't
understand why she went out in the street
to speak with JONATHAN about their
daughter at one in the morning knowing
that LESLIE was wanting to fight her
unless she went there looking for a fight.
MEGAN stated that she thought she had
to speak with JONATHAN since it was
about their daughter. MEGAN further
stated that she doesn't know how
JONATHAN got a bloody nose.
WENDY stated that her friend
MEGAN went over to speak with
JONATHAN when three people attacked
MEGAN so she jumped in to help. Her
story did not coincide with MEGANs and
it sounded as if she was not being honest

approximately 1800 hours he
entered his maroon 2000
Plymouth Voyager van to go to
Wal-Mart. As he arrived at Wal-
Mart and turned the vehicle off
he did not hear his Garmin Nuvi
GPS beep, which usually does.
He then looked on his
windsheild and noticed the
Garmin was not where he last
left it. His Garmin is always in
his vehicle and in a holder that is
attached to the windshield and
plugged into a cigarette lighter.
Mr. Crawford said he parked
his vehicle in front of his
apartment building, 208, around
1800 hours on 09/19/2011 and
did not go back to the vehicle
until 1800 hours on this date.
The vehicle did not appear to
have any signs of forced entry.
Mr. Crawford was not sure if he
locked his doors. After speaking
with Mr. Crawford about this
incident he returned to into his
apartment and I walked by his
vehicle to check if he locked it
after we had just looked inside.
The vehicle was not locked so I
locked it for him. It should be
noted that on this date at
approximately 1746 hours, a
resident of the Enclave
Apartments called the Lynn
Haven Police Department for 2
suspicious black males walking
through the parking lot looking
into vehicles. I responded to that
call but did not find anyone
matching that description
looking into vehicles.
The Garmin Nuvi 265T serial
number is 1RD009517. Dispatch
entered this information into
NCIC/FCIC as stolen property.

Hi, I am a 24 year old mother. I have
recently stopped working to stay home

need assistance mostly during the day,
some help during the weekends too. I am
hoping to be able to bring my 8mo baby
girl along with me to run errands and
help with the other children. This would
make it easier for me but it is not
100 % necessary. I have worked for the
City of Sparks Parks and Recreation in
Nevada for 3 years. I also worked for
the local hospital, Renown, working with
children. I have had numerous positions
in a daycare like setting so I know
CPR. If you are interested please reply

Alabama Town Enacts
'Jesus or Jail' Plan
Misdemeanor offenders can choose between
church and jail
It's either Jesus or jail for small-time offenders in Bay
Minette, Alabama. Operation Restore Our Community is
kicking off there this week, giving misdemeanor offenders
the choice between a year of Sunday church services or fines
and jail, Raw Story reports. Pastors invented the program on
the presupposition that crime is caused by "the erosion of
family values and morals," the town's police chief says. "We
have children raising children and parents not instilling
values in young people."
Alabama's ACLU office calls the plan "blatantly
unconstitutional" and is "considering options for response." A
Think Progress writer notes that even conservative Justice
Antonin Scalia would condemn the plan for using the threat
of penalty to coerce participation in religion. But one pastor
rebuffed criticism, saying, "You show me somebody who
falls in love with Jesus, and I'll show you a person who won't
be a problem to society."

“cooking meth” September 26, 2011 The Washington
County Drug Task Force, consisting of the
Washington County Sheriff’s Office and
the Chipley Police Department, reports
the arrest of five people and the
d i s m a n t l i n g o f a n a c t i v e
methamphetamine lab at a home on

A Washington County Sheriff’s Office
deputy, acting off a tip, arrived at the
Houston Road residence in the early
morning hours of Monday, September
26th. WCDTF Investigators arrived on
scene to assist and consent was given by
the property owner to search the

Task Force investigators found five
suspects inside the home in the process
of “cooking meth”. In addition,
investigators found methamphetamines,
drug paraphernalia, and a “shake and
bake” bottle actively producing
methamphetamines. The house was
immediately cleared due to the volatile
nature of the meth lab and officers
trained in methamphetamine lab
dismantling were able to safely contain
and then remove the lab.
During the search, investigators also
found several bottles of what is commonly
referred to as “bi-layered liquid”. Bi-

after the initial “cooking” process and
before you have your finished meth
product. Arrested and charged was:

On 09/23/2011 a vehicle
driven by Robert Curtis
Switzer w/m 29 was stopped
for failure to maintain his lane.
The deputy observed the
vehicle cross the center line
several times and also enter
the oncoming lane. When the
vehicle was stopped the
Switzer was asked to perform
several sobriety tests which he
did poorly on, no odor of an
alcohol beverage was noted on
Switzers breath. The deputy
did find a bottle of loratabs
that had been today, there
were 16 pills missing from the
bottle, Switzer was asked to
give urine same for testing and
refused.

with me. WENDY also kept telling me to
take her to jail, and was out of control.
I then walked next door to
JONATHANs where I met him and
LESLIE. JONATHAN was covered in
blood from a busted nose and stated that
during the Battery, he tried to separate
LESLIE & MEGAN.
During that time MEGAN hit him
several times to the nose. JONATHAN
stated that he did not want to pursue
charges and he would not cooperate with
us in reference to the Battery.
JONATHAN and LESLIE both stated
that MEGAN had been threatening
LESLIE tonight. MEGAN came out in
front of the residence with what they
thought was a bat. LESLIE went and
spoke with MEGAN about her threatening
her. During that time MEGAN put the
wooden club in her face, then hit her in
the right arm with the club.
LESLIE advised me that after she was
hit with the weapon, she grabbed it and
grabbed MEGAN by the hair. She then
started defending herself by hitting
MEGAN to the face and she ended up
biting her on the back.
LESLIE then walked Cpl BENNET to
the side of the street where she recovered
the club that she was attacked with. The
club was collected and submitted into
evidence.
While we were questioning MEGAN
again with the new information, I asked
Deputy JACKSON to start clearing the
scene with people that did not to be here
as people were starting to show up.
It was starting to get out of control and
becoming a officer safety issue. Deputy
JACKSON spoke with WENDY and her
mother, who started cussing him. Both
WENDY and NANCY refused to comply
with a lawful command and was actively
interfering with an investigation.
I advised Deputy
JACKSON to arrest
WENDY. As WENDY was
being placed in restraints
NANCY became irate.
I then took control of
NANCY. As I was placing
her in restraints and trying to
transport her to the vehicle,
she turned on me while she
was screaming. ...CONTINUED ON PAGE 47

FROM PAGE 11
I was unsure if NANCY was going to
bite me or spit on me. I immediately tried
to turn her around, however she weighed
over three-hundred pounds. I again tried
pushing on her to get her turned around.
Once at the vehicle she was still yelling.
I tried keeping control of her while I had
OC spray out. I advised her numerous
times to get into the vehicle or I would
spray her, NANCY finally got into the car.
Deputy JACKSON placed MEGAN in
his car and we then transported the three to
the Bay County Jail. Deputy PERRY
stayed behind taking photographs and
statements from the victim, LESLIE.
MEGAN was charged with Aggravated
Battery. WENDY was charged with
Battery and Resisting Officer with out
Violence. NANCY was charged with
Resisting Officer with out Violence.
It should be noted that it was later
learned that the club used in the
Aggravated Battery was stolen from
JONATHAN WESTON a week ago and
was documented. I will be following up to
confirm the theft on the club.

Arrest Location: 520 N GAY AVE Arresting Officer: GARRISON Charge: DOMESTIC BATTERY
Narrative On this date I responded to 520 N Gay Ave in reference to a Battery
complaint. Upon arrival I spoke to Dorothy Agyei. She advised her ex boyfriend
with whom she lived with for six years as a family came to her residence this
morning, shoved her down and then got on top of her and pinned her down by
placing his hands on her neck. She identified the male as Jai Swinson.
According to Dorothy, she and Jai broke up about a month ago after she caught
him cheating on her. Jai moved out then back into the residence on Gay Ave for a
week before moving out for good.
Dorothy says all of Jai's belongings have been taken to his new residence.
According to Dorothy, she arrived home this morning and called a male friend to
come visit with her. After the male arrived Dorothy and the male were sitting
outside. A short while later Jai showed up with a black female Dorothy identified
as the one she caught him cheating with. Jai approached her and an argument
ensued about the other male being there.
Jai pulled and shoved at Dorothy until the neck
strap on her dress broke
and she fell to the ground.
Jai then got on
top of her and put
his hands around
her neck and
squeezed and told
her he will kill her if
he catches another
man at this house.
The incident was broken up by the female that arrived with Jai. After this the still
unidentified female punched Dorothy in the face and Dorothy punched her back.
Dorothy's room mate Daniel Poncel came outside and broke everything up.
Jai and the female left the scene. Dorothy advised me she was terrified he
was going to come back and hurt her. I obtained a recorded statement from
Dorothy. While speaking with her I located an earring in the dirt which she said
was hers from being thrown down. I gave her a domestic violence pamphlet with
the appropriate signature page. I then went to where Jai was staying but nobody
would answer the door.
A short while later Jai showed back up at Dorothy's residence and was taken
into custody. At this time Dorothy signed a victim notification form. Jai was
taken to the Bay County Jail where he was held.
A copy of this report has been faxed to the Salvation Army Shelter.
Knox a 'Satanic She-
Devil,' Court Told
As closing arguments continue in
Amanda Knox’s murder-conviction appeal,
the court heard today that the American
student may look like an angel but is
actually a "she-devil." Knox initially
accused bar owner Patrick Lumumba of
killing her roommate, Meredith Kercher,
and his lawyer told the court that Knox is
both a saint ―and a satanic, diabolic she-
devil given to borderline behavior,‖
Reuters reports.
Carlo Pacelli also asked the court to
judge Knox ―based on her personality
when the crime occurred in November
2007,‖ rather than being swayed by the
image of a tired, gaunt woman who has
spent four years in prison. When Kercher
was murdered, Knox ―was a concentrated
mix of sex, drugs, and alcohol‖ who ―loved
strong emotions and dangerous games,‖ he
said.

Incident # 11-10706
On 9/19/11 at approximately
1100 I was dispatched to the
Lynn Haven Recreation
concession stand in reference
to vandalism done to the ladies
restroom. When I arrived at the
concession stand I was met by
the complainant, Grady
Moore, who led me into the
ladies restroom and pointed
out several incidents of grafitti
on the concrete block walls,
the painted stall doors, a card
table, and the mirror. The
writing appeared to have been
done with a black sharpie type
marker. I photographed the
damages and those photos are
attached to this report.
Mr. Moore said that he
estimates the cost of cleanup
and painting to be about
$300.00. He also said that they
had trespassed a couple of girls
recently. One of the pieces of
grafitti was "Hanna was here".
Another writing was "Bob was
here" and a third said "You're a
bitch, Mary". The other
writings were generic and did
not have names in them. Reporting Officer SMITH, JAMES
Incident # 11-10714
On September 19, 2011 at
approximately 1645 hours I
was dispatched to the Lynn
Haven Walmart at 2101 S
Hwy 77 in regards to a retail
theft. Upon arrival, I made
contact with Sarah Day, Asset
Protection Associate for
Walmart.
Sarah Day informed me
that she and two other
Walmart Associates had
observed two white females,
later identified by Florida
identifications as Ruth Ann
Heath and Melissa Nicole
Ducker, conceal various items
of jewelry and clothing inside
their purses and bypass all
points of sale on their way to
the door on the grocery side of
Walmart. Sarah Day provided
me with a written sworn
witness statement stating these
facts as well as receipts to
establish value. The witness
statement and receipts are
attached to the report.
Melissa Nicole Ducker and
Ruth Ann Heath did openly
admit to me that they had
taken the merchandise. Heath
further stated that she just
wanted to cooperate and
hopefully receive a court date
instead of going to jail.
After requesting a wants
and warrants check from
dispatch, dispatch notified me
that Ruth Ann Heath had an
active warrant out of Calhoun
County. Ruth Heath gave her
personal property including
her purse and a watch to
Melissa Ducker. At that time, I
placed Ruth Ann Heath under
arrest and escorted Heath
along with Melissa Ducker
outside to the patrol car in the
parking lot. After placing
Heath inside the patrol car, I
issued Melissa Ducker a
Notice To Appear, returned
her driver's license, and
allowed her to leave. The
Notice to Appear is attached to
the report.
Ruth Heath was then taken to
the Bay County Jail and
booked in under F.S.S.
812.015 for Retail Theft.
While at the jail, I walked to
BCSO Warrants division to
obtain a copy of Heath's
warrant. Deputy Meeks and
Deputy Price made contact
with dispatch and advised me
that Calhoun County would
fax them their copy of the
warrant. I walked back to
female booking and relayed to
Cpl. Helms that the warrant
was being faxed, and
I provided her with a
booking sheet as well as a
complaint affidavit for Ruth
Heath. A copy of the booking
sheet and complaint affidavit is
attached to the report.

Incident # 11-10756
On 9/20/11 at about 1430 I
was dispatched to the Lynn
Haven Police Department to
meet with the complainant in
reference to a theft.
At the station I spoke with
Donnie McCormick who said
that some unknown person had
cut the east side fence on the
equipment storage yard of
McCormick Construction
Company at 1405 Georgia
Avenue. The unknown person
then removed the copper
welding leads from a welder
that was in the fenced
enclosure.
McCormick said that the
leads were about 50 feet long
and two leads were stolen. He
estimated the value of the
copper leads at about $300.00
and repairs to the fence at
about $150.00.
At this time there are no
suspects and no physical
evidence was recovered.
The property was put on
extra patrol for a period of two
weeks at Mr. McCormick's
request.

Sept. 27, 2011 According to the State Attorney’s Office: King Edward Sherman, 39, was convicted at trial in Marianna on Tuesday of burglary of a
dwelling and dealing in stolen property. Assistant State Attorney Larry Basford showed jurors
that Sherman and John Wayne Lincoln broke into a home at 4580 Bates Road, Greenwood,
between midnight and 2 the morning of Nov. 27 and stole a flat-screen television, which they
sold later that day. Lincoln then continued his burglary spree by going to the home of Vivian
Ford, who he ended up killing when she unexpectedly answered his knock at the door. Lincoln
pleaded guilty to his charges, including this burglary with Sherman, and the murder charge and
was sentenced to life in prison. Sherman, who has four prior felony convictions, faces up to 30
years behind bars when he is sentenced next month.

NUGGET LOUNGE LARCENY On 9/23/11, I responded to the
Gold Nugget Lounge in
reference to a stolen wallet.
Upon arrival I made contact
with the victim who stated she
believes her wallet was stolen
while inside the club. She stated
that a black Coach wallet
containing her driver's license
and approximately $180.00 in
cash was stolen from her purse.
She also stated that her purse
was on the floor behind where
she was sitting so she's unsure
of when it took place. After
leaving the club is when she
noticed it was gone. I made
contact with employees but they
had just come on duty as the
day-shift employees left and
were unaware of this incident. A
search of the area and the
property of the remaining
e m p l o y e e s ( d o n e b y
management) yielded no results.
The current door man indicated
that the victim was gone for
some time before returning and
claiming her wallet was
missing. At this time there is not
enough evidence to file criminal
charges as no suspect was
identified, the property was not
located nor can it be tracked as
no serial numbers are available,
and it cannot be clearly
determined if the property was
stolen at this location since the
victim left prior to reporting the
theft. Nothing further.

Authorities round up
41 in daylong
prescription-drug sting
…......as reported by the St. Petersburg Times...
Phony prescriptions were printed out on a home computer and passed out to "runners" who got
them filled at local pharmacies.
Then the pain pills were divvied up: half for the runner to keep, half for the drug dealer to sell
at street prices that, in some parts of Florida, are up to 30 times what they cost at a pharmacy.
Authorities said that's how more than 400,000 30-milligram oxycodone tablets got into the
wrong hands during a nine-month span beginning in October 2009.
On Monday, several local law enforcement agencies launched a multi-jurisdictional effort to
arrest some of the members of a sophisticated Tampa Bay area drug trafficking ring.
"These criminals don't know any boundaries and neither should we," said Pasco County Sheriff
Chris Nocco.
By day's end, officials had located 41 of the 72 people sought in the second phase of Operation
No Appointment Necessary. Some were already in local jails; others were arrested in Pinellas,
Pasco and Hernando counties. The first phase, which began in March, has so far netted 66 of 94
suspects. And investigators had previously made about 140 other arrests in connection with the
case.
Monday's sweep was a joint effort between the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Countywide
Diversion Task Force, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office and
the New Port Richey Police Department.
"A lot of people get involved because of addiction situations," Alfonso said. "They are addicted
to these painkillers and they have to feed their addiction by going out and getting these pills and
then they sell them as well as using them."
Oxycodone pills that cost about $1 apiece at a pharmacy are going for $8 to $15 on the
street in the Tampa Bay area, Alfonso said. In more rural areas of North Florida, they can
bring as much as $30 a pill.
Cantaloupe Death Toll
Rising, May Hit 16 CDC reports 13 confirmed
deaths and 72 illnesses from
listeria outbreak
Health officials say at least 13
people have died from possible
listeria illnesses traced to Colorado
cantaloupes, making it the deadliest
food outbreak in more than a
decade. The CDC said today that 72
illnesses and 13 deaths are linked to
the tainted fruit. Most of the victims
were age 60 or older, with seniors
and young children the most
susceptible, notes the New York
Times. State and local officials are
investigating three additional deaths
that may be connected.
The figures released by the CDC,
including newly confirmed deaths in
Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and
Texas, surpassed the number of
deaths linked to an outbreak of
salmonella in peanuts almost three
years ago. Nine people died in that
outbreak. Last week, the CDC
reported deaths in Colorado, New
Mexico, Oklahoma, and Maryland.
The cantaloupes are marketed
under the name Rocky Mountain
cantaloupes.

Shaking down opportunities for money using the
government as the heavy is a great gig for ex-Democrats
with no real marketable business skills. It combines
pretending you can harness the sun for energy, with the
salesmanship of Bernie Madoff. The cool thing is that you
never really have to produce a product people want to buy,
just say you will.
Like Chrysler, when Obama circumvented 200 years of
bankruptcy law to benefit them, Billionaire George Kaiser
(the original investor in Solyndra) finagled a deal where
his investment gets paid back in front of the United States’
$535 billion loan. Coincidence I am sure, but he was one
of the biggest donors to Obama in 2008.
Also, on Monday information came out that the
Democrat Party in California was listed as a creditor of
the bankruptcy filing. The Dems in California took
exception; they are usually viewed as a liability.
Of course they put this business in California, a solidly
liberal Democrat strong hold with the worst
unemployment rate in the country to show for it. The
unemployment would be worse in California had they not
had be boom of health food stores turned in to marijuana
dispensaries the last few years. The only growing business
there is company relocation concerns helping
corporation’s exodus the state. California also funds
college for illegal immigrants helping them realize the
dream of going from an employed farm worker, to
collecting unemployment as a Cal Berkley grad in Art
History—the new ―American Dream‖ under Obama.
Obama has long preached the green energy religion to
his followers, but I wonder; is he the televangelist himself,
smoothly snookering saps out of their money, or the mark
who sends his paycheck in to the preachers on TV because
they are convincing?
Like with tent preachers, God is a great partner: he is a
powerful influence on customers and does not take a cut
of the tithes. It is similar with government shake down
artists: the government is a powerful partner with free
money, and only takes political kickbacks.
Solyndra is not about wasted money and political
payback. It is about the scope and role of government, and
the notion that they should pick winners and losers in
what used to be our private sector. Does Obama know
more than 310 million Americans, and 7 billion people
worldwide about what we want and what we are willing to
pay for it? Let the marvel that is the markets do this for us,
it has done a fantastic job so far and not only does it not
cost us anything, and you can tax it—Obama has to like
that. Ron Hart, a libertarian syndicated op-ed humorist, award-winning author and TV/radio

Statement from Governor Rick Scott Regarding Rosh Hashanah SEPTEMBER 28, 2011 Tallahassee, Fla. – “Tonight at sundown marks the beginning of
Rosh Hashanah, a new year for the Jewish people. This sacred time also begins the
period of High Holy Days, a time of spiritual renewal and reflection for many Floridians.
“During this season, I am reminded of the joys of faith and family and the universal quest
to grow closer to our Maker. May the call of the shofar remind us all of the importance
of tradition and values in these challenging times. “The High Holy Days should also
remind us of the invaluable freedoms we enjoy as Americans and the brave men and
women who protect those freedoms at home and abroad. It is also important to
remember the contributions the Jewish community make to our state and nation’s
diverse heritage and spiritual makeup.
“Ann and I wish all Floridians observing the High Holy Days a happy and healthy New Year. L’shanah tova!”
