Flying Eye Sees All www.privateofficer.com

It’s a plane, no it’s a bird, no it’s Superman, no it’s a UFO sort of. It’s the hottest, coolest, newest piece of technology to hit the battlefield on the war on crime, immagration and the surveillance world.

The Spy in the sky, Drone, a wingless flying superspy that can hover, look and watch, take pictures, send video feed and see what the bad guy is doing while the officers control it from the safety of a command vehicle or someplace out of the line of fire is what every law enforcement agency is putting on their wishlist.
The 14 pound, pilotless “Eye In The Sky” is already in use by the Border Patrol along the Arizona desert near Mexico and soon it will be deployed by Customs northward to watch over the Canadian border from it’s new base in North Dakota.
Honeywell International, the drone’s manufacturing has plenty of police departments who want one but there is a little problem that they’re working on. It’s not mechanical or any kind of glitch in their electronics or system but it’s something much worse and much bigger, Uncle Sam.
The FAA, The Federal Aviation Administration must approve it’s use and right now they haven’t given their seal of approval.

Citing numerous safety concerns, the FAA — the government agency responsible for regulating civil aviation — has been slow in developing procedures for the use of UAVs by police departments.
“You don’t want one of these coming down on grandma’s windshield when she’s on her way to the grocery store,” said Doug Davis, the FAA’s program manager for unmanned aerial systems.
He acknowledged strong interest from law enforcement agencies in getting UAVs up and running, however, and said the smaller aircraft particularly were likely to have a “huge economic impact” over the next 10 years.
But testing of this technology is underway to insure it’s safety and as soon as the go ahead is given it looks as though the Miami Dade Police will be the first law enforcement agency to deploy one in their area of the Florida Everglades. Other departments are sure to follow but the American Civil Liberties Union said that there are concerns about privacy issues and the eye watching someone who has not broken any laws and are not the subject of any investigations and now they become a victim of the Big Brother Peeping Tom. Legislation has to be drawn up and some guidelines on it’s use must be in place before police agencies start putting these things in the sky watching whoever, whenever and invading people’s right to privacy.

Hospital security officers detain man with explosives www.privateofficer.com

Mobile Al. March 27 2008
By: Rick McCann
N.A.P.O.

On Sunday afternoon, police officers were called to Mobile Infirmary West after a man claiming to have explosive devices was taken into custody by a hospital security officer, said Officer Eric Gallichant, a police spokesman.

Hospital officers say that the man claimed to have the devices and was talking ilrational so security officers decided to detain him for further investigation.
Mobile Police questioned the man now known to be Ronald Thompson, 38, of Alphareta Georgia and arrested him, and notified the bomb squad who then searched Thompson’s hotel room at the Red Roof Inn on Coca-Cola Road and found what appeared to be improvised explosive devices, which are commonly known as IEDs, authorities said.

Meanwhile, the hotel and the nearby Wal-Mart were evacuated, Gallichant said.
Gallichant declined to say what sort of explosive devices were found in the hotel room.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is investigating, but Thompson has not been charged federally, said Mike Messinger, the resident agent in charge of the Mobile office.
Thompson also faces two counts of making terrorist threats and one count of possession of cocaine, according to the jail log.
As of now, Thompson is being held without bail.

Security News Magazine

Memphis police are investigating an unusual case that started on Monday night in which someone drove into a parking garage at Oak Court Mall and then left, leaving a critically injured man in the front passenger seat of the vehicle with the emergency flashers blinking.
The car sat there police say for at least 10-15 minutes or more before another shopper pulling into the lower level of the garage came upon the vehicle and saw the injured man and notified mall security who then called police and the medics.
Police Lt. Col. Ray Douglas said that the 911 Center got the call around 6pm and investigators immediately began looking for witnesses and checking for a crime scene but Douglas didn’t say if police believe that the shooting happened at the mall or at another location or if they had any suspects in the shooting.
Authorities did say that they were checking security camera footage and were continuing their investigation.
The unnamed wounded man was in critical condition in an area hospital.

Employee steals $40,000 high end electronics www.privateofficer.com

Employee steals $40,000 of electronics www.privateofficer.com

March 27 2008
submitted by: Todd Lefever

BOGALUSA LA. – A local man has been accused of stealing more than $40,000 worth of high-end electronics and furniture from the company he used to work for.
Bogalusa Police Department arrested Howard Byrd, 31, of Bogalusa, last week following an investigation into a theft case at Baber’s Rent-to-Own in the Washington Square Shopping Center next to Piggly Wiggly. Byrd worked at Baber’s as an account manager from July 2007 – November 2007, Baber’s officials confirmed.

Byrd, using the name of a 10-year-old boy, fraudulently filled out rental paperwork on high-definition TVs, DVD players, furniture and other items, police and store officials said.”Anything he could get,” said Lori Hand, the local manager.

Only two items have been recovered – a $3,000 TV, found in Byrd’s home, and a DVD player, Hand said. Byrd was fired from the company in November, but store officials didn’t find out until later the merchandise had been stolen.

While Byrd was employed, he covered up the fact that payments were not being made on the merchandise, but after he left, it became clear the bills weren’t being paid, store officials said.
“When he left, they became further and further behind,” said Pete Bentivegna, Baber’s district manager. A call to police was not made until February.

Store officials said there is still at least $25,000 in items missing that were listed as being “rented” by the 10-year-old. They suspect Byrd used other false names to steal more items, as well.Store officials said Byrd may have already sold much of the merchandise.

“If anybody bought merchandise from him, it was probably stolen,” Bentivegna said.
Store officials are hoping to recoup some of the losses by having the items returned, but right now, it’s a total loss.

The items were not insured, Bentivegna said. Byrd was charged with theft by fraud over $500 and theft of identification. Those who know the whereabouts of the stolen merchandise are encouraged to call the BPD detective’s office at 732-6238.

To remain anonymous, call the BPD tip line at 732-BUST (2878).

Men arrested with toddler after shoplifting spree www.privateofficer.com

COLLIER COUNTY FLA. March 27 2008 Two men were arrested Tuesday after they allegedly went on a shoplifting spree with a toddler in tow. As they tried to escape one of the suspects also punched a deputy and a store employee.
The crime took place at the Beall’s department store on US 41 in East Naples.
According to deputies, Kelvin Shane Townsend, 30, filled a shopping cart with merchandise and pushed it near the exit.
He then allegedly took a black baseball cap out of the cart, pulled off the price tag, put the hat on and left the store
Authorities say Townsend returned to the store a few minutes later, this time holding his one-year-old daughter and accompanied 31-year-old Craig Marshall Daniels.
Townsend and Daniels reportedly went in separate directions and loaded several items into shopping carts.
Townsend pushed his cart near the front entrance and left the store with his daughter. They got into a white Dodge Durango and drove away. Deputies say Townsend returned a few minutes later and parked near the entrance.
Daniels pushed his shopping cart to the front entrance of the store. He allegedly grabbed all the merchandise and ran out of the store without paying.
Daniels was heading toward Townsend’s Durango when he was confronted by the store’s loss prevention officer.
That’s when witnesses say Daniels turned around and punched the employee in the face.
Two Collier County Deputies then tried to restrain Daniels. He ended up punching a female deputy in the face, breaking her sunglasses.
Authorities were eventually able to subdue Daniels. He and Townsend were taken into custody. The toddler was turned over to her mother.
When deputies searched Daniels they found a narcotic pipe that contained methamphetamine residue.
He was charged with grand theft, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting a merchant, battery, resisting arrest with violence, possession of narcotic paraphernalia and possession of methamphetamine.
Townsend was charged with grand theft and child neglect.

Father shoots, kills daughter, himself on Easter www.privateofficer.com

DECATUR, Ga. March 27 2008 — DeKalb County police are investigating a double shooting in which a father appears to have shot and killed his 1-year-old daughter and then killed himself.
DeKalb County police officer Marcus Hodge says Mario Roberts, 21, was arguing with his child’s mother in the couple’s car when he pulled out a gun and shot their daughter, Amari Roberts. It appears the father then shot himself, Hodge said.

Officials said they were visiting the child’s maternal grandmother’s home to celebrate Easter. “They were over here visiting them and they were in the driveway when this occurred,” said Hodge.
Police say the father and child were rushed to separate hospitals. The girl was later pronounced dead.
The father was also pronounced dead early Monday morning.
Hodge says investigators have been talking with the child’s mother, who witnessed the shooting and is cooperating. Police say that an argument ensued in front of the home and the father shot the baby girl, who was strapped into her car seat in the back of the vehicle, before shooting himself.
It’s an unthinkable thing one officer said as he stood and looked over the crime scene.

Enraged customer runs over security officer www.privateofficer.com

Cambridge MA. March 27 2008
An enraged customer at a Cambridge computer store broke the shop’s front door and ran down a security officer in his car this past Saturday afternoon.
Police said an unknown white male accompanied by a small child demanded that the staff at the Micro Center at 730 Memorial Drive repair his computer immediately.

According to a police report, when an employee told the man they couldn’t repair his computer that day, he became angry and started to leave the store. Before he did, though, police said he grabbed a shopping cart and rammed it into the front door, damaging the door and security sensor.
Police said a security officer working for Micro Center followed the man outside into the parking lot to confront him about the damage. When he did, the man began revving the engine of his red Subaru Hatchback, and struck the security officer in the leg with the car before speeding off.
The security officer, according to police, wasn’t seriously hurt, and refused medical attention from responding officers.
Police have only a partial description of the suspect. He is, according to the report, a white male between the ages of 30 and 50.

Police are looking for the man who will be charged with criminal damage and assault when apprehended.

Identity theft suspect wanted for murder www.privateofficer.com

GALESBURG IL. March 27 2008 — When the FBI picked up Freddie Collins in Chicago for possession of a fake California driver’s license and fake Social Security card on March 3, they also found a suspect in a 2004 Galesburg shooting.

Collins, 36, whose fake identification listed him as “Gary Wilson Jr.,” is being held in the Knox County jail on $1 million bond for the Dec. 21, 2004, shooting of Jonas Ross III, then 24, in the parking lot of the former Wal-Mart on National Boulevard. Collins is awaiting a Monday hearing.

Police extradited Collins from Cook County to Knox County following his arrest. He has been listed as a suspect since early in the investigation, but had remained at large for nearly four years.

Ross was shot seven times during the incident for which Dante Hubbard was acquitted in 2006. Police said the shooting was retaliation for Ross robbing Collins.

Lucas Gustafson was sentenced in 2005 to 160 days in jail and 30 months of conditional discharge for reportedly driving the getaway car used by Collins and his nephew, Hubbard.

Collins faces charges of attempted first degree murder, aggravated battery with a firearm and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. He is being held on a Knox County warrant.

The Galesburg Police Department wouldn’t comment on the case.
