BREAKING NEWS

Authorities in Mexico and the FBI are excited today as they announce the capture of a Marine who is suspected of killing a pregnant colleague .
Police, FBI agents and the Mexican Federal police have all been hunting Cpl. Cesar Laurean after authorities say that he killed Marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach and buried her burned body in his backyard in North Carolina in January of this year.
FBI agents and police in the small town of Tacambaro arrested Cpl. Cesar Laurean on Thursday after authorities say he was acting suspicous when police, who were involved in a different investigation, encountered Laurean. Mexican authorities became suspicous of his reactions to being questioned and detained him long eneough to check computer files and and they recognized his distictive tattoos. The authorities said that they soon learned that he was wanted in the United States for murder and notified U.S. authorities of his arrest.
Police said Laurean told the arresting officers he had only 10 pesos — about $1 — in his pocket when arrested.
Bearded, thin and chained at the wrists and ankles, Laurean spoke briefly with The Associated Press while being held at the Michoacan state Attorney General’s Office in Morelia, the state capital. He appeared slightly disoriented and stared straight ahead, his eyes occasionally filling up with tears as he answered a reporter’s questions in terse phrases. He told police and the press that since arriving in Mexico he had been sleeping in fields and surviving by eating fruits and whatever food that he could find.
You know my name. You know who I am,” Laurean said as reporters tried to question him. Asked if he wanted to say anything, Laurean answered, “Proof,” but wouldn’t explain.
FBI and U.S. police had said for the past three months that they expected that Laurean had fled south of the border to Mexico and a recent updated photo of him with a beard and longer hair had been shown on America’s Most Wanted and added to his wanted bulletin.
U.S. Ambassador Tony Garza said in a statement that “Laurean fled to Mexico early this year in the hope of avoiding justice” and called the arrest “a clear message to all would-be fugitives from U.S. law that Mexico will not provide them refuge.”
The FBI said Laurean, 21, is awaiting extradition to the United States although local prosecutors in North Carolina cautioned the process could take a year or more if he decides to fight it.

Sleeping guards found at power plant again www.privateofficer.com

Sleeping guards at power plant again www.privateofficer.com

Miami Fla. April 11 2008

For the second time this year, federal regulators want to fine Florida Power & Light for security violations at Turkey Point nuclear power plant near Miami.This time, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission is proposing a $130,000 fine because an investigation conducted by the agency found that half a dozen contracted security guards at the plant had been “inattentive” or fallen sleep while on duty repeatedly from 2004 to 2006.FPL has 30 days to pay the fine or protest, said Commission spokesman Ken Clark, adding that there aren’t any pending security issues at Turkey Point.Dick Winn, a spokesman for FPL’s nuclear division, said the company will review the findings of the investigation before deciding what to do.

It’s our plan to take the time allowed to work with NRC to get a better handle on the specifics of what these officers told NRC,” Winn said.In April 2006, a federal inspector witnessed a Wackenhut Nuclear Services security guard sleeping while stationed at a key part of the plant, according to the commission. More situations were revealed through interviews with former employees, Clark said: “They indicated there had been instances where they were inattentive or falling asleep or where someone…covered for them or stood watch. As you can imagine, that’s not acceptable.”Wackenhut, which has come under fire with regulators for security issues in the past, could not be reached.Winn said new security, screening and training measures have been put in place since the violations happened two years ago and that if the six guards, who haven’t worked at Turkey point for “some time,” fell asleep on duty, they were exceptions in a group of “very professional” guards.”That said, I don’t want to minimize this at all. Anything related to safety and security is always a big deal to us,” he said.Earlier this year, the Commission slapped the company with a $208,000 fine because the Commission found FPL failed to ensure it properly equipped four contracted security workers at the South Florida plant.

Man sent to prison for failed kidnapping plot www.privateofficer.com

Man sent to prison after failed kidnapping plot www.privateofficer.com

St. Paul Mn. April 11 2008

A military officer who tried to kidnap his former girlfriend at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport last June was sentenced to 72 months in prison on attempted kidnapping charges.
Timothy Pentaleri, 43, was also sentenced to three years of supervised release.

Pentaleri, a reserve officer in the Army, pleaded guilty Dec. 12, 2007.

The crime happened at MSP Airport on June 29, 2007 when police saw Pentaleri suspiciously watching passengers in the baggage-claim area at the airport.

When officers approached him, he removed a wig, a fake mustache and goatee, and threw them away in a garbage can.

Police saw him putting his hands in his pockets repeatedly, even though they had asked him not to, so they patted him down for weapons, and found a knife, three cans of a mace-like irritant, a collapsible night stick commonly used by law enforcement and a stun gun.

In Pentaleri’s SUV, officers also found a large plastic liner, duct tape, flex cuffs, rope, a shovel, a pillow case, sheets cut into strips, condoms, a turkey baster, KY jelly and a camera.

Officers also found mail addressed to the intended victim, a map from the Internet showing directions from the airport to a road close to the woman’s Minnesota residence, as well as papers detailing what appeared to be an abduction plan.

The judge in the case credited the quick work of law enforcement, particularly a Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport Police officer who saw Pentaleri’s behavior.

Atlanta GA. April 11 2008
The steps to becoming a police officer

By: Rick McCann MA., CPSO, CPO

Ntl. Assoc. Private Officers

www.privateofficer.com

Several people recently have asked us to explain to them how a person becomes a police officer.
Many still believe that it’s as simple as filling out an employment application and getting and a badge and gun from Sheriff Taylor. But, it’s “not” that easy and in fact it’s a long, grueling process in most cases.
The first step as with any job is a written application and now most of those can be done on line saving you the expense of postage. However, that’s the only easy part of the whole process.
Prior to the Civil Service Exam, a federally required method of examination for many municipal, county, state and federal jobs, you could walk into a police department and quickly be appointed and sworn in by the police chief, thrown to the wolves with little or no training and alone with a badge and a gun.
But with the start of the Civil Service process, all applicants now take a uniform, unbiased exam.
The first test to becoming a police office is the written examination. When a department announces their current officer position openings, usually in the newspaper and radio, they also announce the date and place of the written exam. Often times it’s at a high school or college.
The written exam varies in length but generally around 300 questions all geared to measure basic reading, English, math and general knowledge of the candidate.
Questions like, if you and your brother each have 44 apples and you sell 16 of them and give 9 away, how many is left? If you were driving north and turn left twice and right once, what direction are you heading?

Once the written exam is complete, a letter is sent out to you within 2-6 weeks letting you know if you passed or failed and inviting you to the next phase of the process, the agility test. (About 20-35% of those who took the written portion of the exam have failed.)
Here, you will be expected to do push-ups, sit-ups, pull a dead weight, and run at least a mile and other physical testing all under the watchful eyes of drill instructor type officers with a stop watch in one hand and a pen and clipboard in the other.
For many, it’s no easy feat and in fact, a large number of applicants fail this portion.

For all of those who have passed phase one and two, they are then put through several more phases including mental evaluations, a complete criminal and credit background check, lie detector testing and an oral board. During these phases, many other applicants are disqualified for having criminal records or not being mentally fit for the job.

Now, should you pass all of those test phases, which by the way could take you about 8-12 months to complete, you are given an overall score based on the scoring of each completed phase. For instance, you could place at 88.5. The minimum passing score will usually be 70-80% so you’re safe and you’re hired…right?Wrong!

The police agency may be hiring 10 new officers, but of the original 300 applicants, 87 have completed all phases favorably and all now have been scored just like you.
Now, the police department ranks everyone according to scoring, highest to lowest.
100 of course are ranked number one, then each highest score behind that.
When it’s time to hire, the department will take the top ten (in most cases) and the remaining candidates will now be placed on an eligibility list which means that should the department hire anymore officers during the next year, they will hire from that list.
However most eligibility lists are only valid for a year and if you’re not hired during that time, you’ll have to go through the whole process again if you want to work for that department.
This whole process must be completed for each agency that you apply for!

Let’s say that you were one of the lucky ones and you got hired. What’s next you ask?
A 16-20 week boot camp of sorts, police training academy awaits you and trust me; it’s nothing like the scenes from Police Academy 1, 2 or 3. This is no movie!!
Here, you’ll be put through physical training, tons of classes, the firing range, hand to hand combat, handcuffing and chemical spray, baton and Taser classes and much more!
Once again, during this process, applicants do drop out because they either can not handle the discipline or the physical part of the training. So be prepared and be mentally and physically in shape if you do indeed want to be a police officer.

If, after all of this, you make it and graduate from the academy, now you are placed with a FTO (field training officer) for a period of time, usually 3-6 months and you’re put on a one year probation.

Keep this in mind, it’s a long hard journey and there will be times that you want to give up, pack it in and go home and get another kind of job. but if law enforcement is your true calling, prepare ahead of the time, suck it up and go through each phase doing your best all of the time with purpose and keep your eye on the prize, the badge being pinned to your chest on graduation day.
And remember, stay safe out there!

Fleeing shoplifter makes watery getaway www.privateofficer.com

NASHVILLE, Tenn. April 11 2008

Ntl. Assoc. Private Officers

www.privateofficer.com

Metro police say that they were called out to the Opry Mills area after security notified them that a shoplifter trying to escape officers jumped into the cold Cumberland River and tried to use it as his escape route.
Metro Fire, EMS, and other rescue crews were also dispatched to conduct a search of the river area when the shoplifter did not resurface.
Rescue crews searched Tuesday night for the man thinking he may have drowned.
Security officers said a man took ammunition from the nearby Bass Pro Shop in Opry Mills Mall. They confronted him at his car about the theft and that’s when he took off toward the river.
Metro authorities do not believe that the man drowned but made his escape and got out of the water safely.
Police said someone saw a soaking wet man walk through Shelby Park on Tuesday night. That park is across the river form where the man jumped in.
Authorities used a helicopter and firefighters used two boats to look for the man, but neither he or a body were found.
At this time, police will continue their investigation to try to identify the slippery shoplifter but have suspended any other searches of the Cumberland.
If found, the theft suspect will face criminal charges for the shoplifting incident.

Security officer shot during bank hold-up www.privateofficer.com

GARY IND. April 11 2008

By: Rick McCann

Ntl. Assoc. Private Officers

www.privateofficer.com

Police responding to a bank hold –up alarm and numerous 911 calls say that when they arrived at the Harris Bank they found a security officer shot.
Authorities are looking for two black men who robbed the Harris Bank, 2746 W. 5th Ave., at 11:11 a.m.

One of the men was wearing a white Halloween or costume-style mask, FBI Special Agent Elena Iatarola said.

According to federal authorities, upon entering the bank, one of the men reportedly shot the security officer immediately with a rifle. The two men then quickly went to each teller and took an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing.

After the robbery, the men fled the bank and drove north on Bridge Street, Iatarola said.

The men were driving a red and gray Chevy truck with a yellow Indiana handicapped license plate, said Wendy Osborne, a special agent and spokeswoman for the FBI office in Indianapolis. Authorities have put out a regional be on the look out bulletin for this vehicle and the two men.

Frank and Deloise Edmond waited in the rain outside the bank after the robbery. Their daughter, Nakesha Edmond, works as a loan officer there and called her parents, frantic, after the armed robbery.

Gary police officers, FBI agents and members of the Gang Response Investigation Team (G.R.I.T.) responded to the scene. Crisis counselors also responded and were on the scene talking to upset bank employees, who were still inside the bank as of 1 p.m. Thursday.

No other customers or employees were hurt, Osborne said.

Authorities did not release the name of the security officer who was shot.

The bank is located about 3 miles northwest of Roosevelt High School, where U.S. Sen. Barack Obama was giving a campaign speech at the time of the robbery.

There was a high security presence at the event from Gary police and Secret Service agents.

The day before, Gary Mayor Rudy Clay said security for the Obama visit would be “tight as a drum.”
Investigators ask that anyone who recognizes the truck involved in the robbery contact the FBI’s GRIT office at (219) 885-1055.

Woman sues KMart after shoplifting arrest www.privateofficer.com

Corbin KY. April 11 2008

A Laurel County woman has filed suit against the K-Mart corporation and two local K-Mart employees after she claims she was wrongfully accused of shoplifting and subsequently strip-searched.

The complaint, filed on April 3 in Knox County Circuit Court, charges that on May 8, 2007, Deborah Morton was leaving the Corbin K-Mart location after purchasing some items, including one shirt.

According to court documents, she was also carrying three shirts she had taken into the store with her. Morton was then stopped by an unknown defendant and employee, referred to in the complaint as “J. Sparks,” and accused of shoplifting shirts, according to the complaint.

Morton was then led to the store’s customer service desk, and then led by a second unknown defendant and store employee, identified in the complaint as “Taylor,” into the women’s restroom where she was strip-searched in view of other customers, according to the complaint.

The complaint then alleges that Morton was taken into the store’s security room and held there for approximately two hours, where she was denied food and water and prohibited from answering calls on her cellular phone.

The suit further alleges that “Taylor” engaged in a phone call in which they discussed strip-searching Morton and “J. Sparks” forced Morton to sign an incident report without allowing her a chance to read it. It also states that the shirts Morton initially brought into the store were retained by employees there.

Morton was charged with misdemeanor charges of theft by unlawful taking under $300 on the day of the incident.

The complaint said those charges were dismissed in June 2007 in Knox County District Court.

The suit charges K-Mart and the two aforementioned defendants with 12 counts. Counts of false imprisonment were filed against the two employees. A count of malicious prosecution was also charged because of sworn statements the unknown defendants and the K-Mart Corporation made charging Morton with theft, although she was later dismissed due to a lack of evidence present in court, according to the complaint.

Further counts charged were two of intentional infliction of emotional distress, one of conversion, two charges of invasion of privacy/false light, three counts of negligence and a count of vicarious liability.

Morton is seeking an unspecified award, including actual and punitive damages, as well as attorney’s fees.

Small towns fight shoplifting problems www.privateofficer.com

Small towns fight big city shoplifting problems www.privateofficer.com

JOHNSONVILLE SC April 11 2008 Police have arrested a pair of shoplifters in separate incidents at Fred’s Department Store on Stuckey Street, according to Chief Ron Douglas.

Douglas said they fled from the store with stolen merchandise, which was later recovered.

Bridgett Antwaunette Allison, 23, of 435 Woodberry Road and Bradford Leighton Morris, 43, of 254 West Marion Street were arrested and booked into the Florence County Detention Center at Effingham.

According to Chief Douglas, his officers have arrested 13 suspects for shoplifting at area stores since December with each offense carrying a fine of $465.00 or 30 days in jail.

Douglas said his officers have been working closely with local store managers to help reduce their losses, especially after hearing that some of the chains have decided to close their stores in other towns when they are no longer profitable.

He said the suspects often try to pay for the merchandise after they are caught, but with a zero tolerance agreement with the stores, everyone caught shoplifting will be charged regardless of their standing in the community.

University football player charged with attempted murder www.privateofficer.com

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla April 11 2008. — A Bethune-Cookman University football player was charged with attempted felony murder after he pulled a shotgun on a man who owed him money, authorities said Wednesday.
Brandon Wright, a back-up quarterback and running back on the Wildcats, was being held in the Volusia County Branch Jail on several charges including trafficking cocaine within 1000 feet of a school, home invasion robbery and false imprisonment, a jail official said. Some of those charges do not have bonds.
Wright was arrested Monday at his dorm room where police discovered cocaine, marijuana, and the shotgun used in the attempted murder, Daytona Beach police chief Mike Chitwood told The Daytona Beach News-Journal.
“He had no record.” Chitwood said. “He was very honest and forthright. He came right out and said I did it.”
Police said Wright was dealing drugs to make ends meet.
“I am shocked and disappointed if this is true,” the school’s football head coach Alvin Wyatt said in the statement. “At no time did this student give us any indication of the charge of which he is accused.”
The school’s athletic department dismissed Wright from the football team on March 15 for failure to fulfill team obligations, including attending mandatory meetings and workouts, the statement said.
He has also been indefinitely suspended from Bethune-Cookman, the statement said.
The Daytona Beach Police and Bethune-Cookman security declined to give information on the arrest after hours Wednesday.
The jail didn’t have a record of Wright’s attorney.
Wright went to DeLand High School where he was quarterback until his graduation in 2004. He signed with the Naval Academy in 2005 and played in 2006 but never made the varsity team. He transferred to Bethune-Cookman for the 2007 season, where he was the third-string quarterback.

Wandering armed man on school campus jailed www.privateofficer.com

DAPHNE AL. April 11 2008 – A Washington County man found to have brought five concealed weapons to Daphne High School last month remained in the Baldwin County Corrections Center on Tuesday in lieu of $340,000 in bail.
A quick call from school administrators to police led to the arrest of Hill Everett Pearce III of McIntosh, authorities said Tuesday.
Police discovered four handguns in the 66-year-old Pearce’s car at Daphne High School on March 11, said Daphne Police Lt. Jud Beedy, and a fifth gun was found in the man’s boot when he was booked into the Daphne City Jail.

Daphne administrators called police just before the 3 p.m. dismissal bell after teachers saw Pearce taking “random photos of students” with a digital camera, Beedy said. It remains unclear why Pearce had the guns, he said.
“It’s really speculation to what he was doing there,” Beedy said. “He said he was there to pick up a distant relative, but he could have possibly been there to do something else. Worst-case scenario, he could have abducted another student.”
Police charged Pearce with five counts of possession of a deadly weapon on school grounds and possession of prison contraband, both felonies, as well as two misdemeanors, trespassing and criminal surveillance.
The prison contraband charge came after he failed to tell jailers about the gun in his boot, Beedy said.
There’s no indication that Pearce brandished a weapon or threatened anyone while on campus. One of Pearce’s relatives is a student at the school, Beedy said, but the boy’s parents had forbidden Pearce from seeing him.
“We took it very seriously, and we charged him with everything we had probable cause to charge him with,” Beedy said.
The search of Pearce’s car also found several pornographic, but legal, magazines, Beedy said, and Daphne officials confiscated his camera.
Authorities also searched Pearce’s home in McIntosh, and Washington County Sheriff’s Department Chief Deputy Terry Beasley said the search uncovered several guns, but none were illegal. Beasley described Pearce as a gun collector, and the chief deputy said none of the guns were seized.
Daphne Principal Don Blanchard praised teachers’ reaction to the incident, saying the school’s safety plan “worked right.”
“Our teachers saw something that was out of place and alerted us, and we called the police,” Daphne High Principal Don Blanchard said. “Everything sort of worked flawlessly in this case. Instead of ignoring it and brushing it off, our teachers reported it.”
Pearce’s arrest came only one day after a student at Baldwin County High School in Bay Minette was arrested after police discovered a hunting rifle in the teen’s truck.
