Leesville LA NOV 6 2008
Two people were injured when a homemade bomb went off inside the Leesville Wal-Mart on Saturday, Leesville Police reported.
Two 16-year-old boys have been arrested in connection with the incident that sent two to the hospital with minor injuries, Leesville Police Chief Bobby Hickman said in a statement released Monday.
Police said the device went off around 8:30 p.m. and was initially reported to them as gunshots coming from the sporting goods area of the store. It was later discovered that it was a “small bomb” that had been detonated by the teens in the men’s clothing section of the store.
A customer and an employee suffered minor injuries during the explosion. They were taken to a local hospital where they were treated and later released.
One of the unnamed juveniles was charged with criminal trespass and has been released to his parents.
The other teen faces charges of manufacture and possession of a bomb, theft of goods, simple arson, two counts of counts of negligent injury, disturbing the peace and aggravated assault. The second teen also has two previous and unrelated arson charges through Leesville Police, according to the release. He will be taken to a juvenile detention center.
Police said the store was cleared, and the boys were arrested after officials reviewed security tape from the store.

Former football player charged in airport disturbance http://www.privateofficer.com
crimebeat news
Kennewick WA Nov 6 2008
A former Tri-Cities Fever football player was arrested Monday morning after he busted through a window in the boarding area at the Tri-Cities Airport.
Michael Rayfield Hodges, 25, of California, managed to get onto the tarmac just as Horizon Air flight 2103 was getting ready to leave for Seattle.
The 6-foot, 270-pound lineman played parts of four seasons for the Fever, including eight games this year.
Hodges’ intentions were not clear, said Dwayne Baird, public affairs manager for the Transportation Security Administration.
Baird said Hodges showed up near the security screening area in the airport about 9 a.m. After he found the screening area was closed, he used the exit door to get inside a secured boarding area.
Hodges reportedly told security officers that he didn’t have a ticket and did not know anyone on that flight. He didn’t have a reason to be at the airport, Baird said.
When a Franklin County Sheriff’s deputy asked him to leave, Hodges became angry, yelled obscenities, then broke through a window to get onto the tarmac where the loaded plane was preparing to leave.
It’s not clear if he was trying to board the plane.
A sheriff’s deputy shot Hodges with a Taser and then he was arrested. He was taken to Lourdes Medical Center for treatment before being booked into the Franklin County jail at 12:30 p.m. He is being held on suspicion of felony assault on a police officer.
Despite the breach, there was no danger to anyone at any time on the secure side of the airport, said Baird, who’s based in Salt Lake City. The TSA may bring civil charges, Baird said.
Hodges, who was a standout at Idaho State University, missed time last season with the Fever because of a knee injury.
“He was a guy that came across as real quiet, a real reserved guy,” said former Fever coach Dan Whitsett, who coached Hodges for two seasons. “He was a guy who always wore his emotions on his sleeve and always seemed to have a big heart.”
Hodges’ behavior is difficult to explain, Baird said, noting Hodges told the detectives that he doesn’t drink or use drugs.
Tri-Cities Airport Director Jim Morasch said the security breach was an unusual occurrence. “I’ve never seen anything like that before,” he said.
But he was satisfied with the way security agencies responded to the situation. “Everything worked the way it was supposed to,” Morasch said.
The incident delayed the Horizon flight by about a half-hour, said Dan Russo, Horizon’s vice president of marketing and communications.
Russo didn’t confirm or deny if Hodges was a passenger on the flight, citing company policies.

www.privateofficer.com Authorities at the Charlotte Douglas Airport said a flight was diverted to the airport when an unruly and intoxicated passenger had to be restrained on board and the pilots needed law enforcement assistance. Federal agents and the airport police department responded to meet the plane on the tarmac and take custody of the female.
Police said that the crew used duct tape to restrain the unruly passenger on a flight from Puerto Rico to Chicago.
The FBI said the woman slapped a crew member on the buttocks and pulled a blind passenger’s hair.
FBI Agent Peter Carricato said the passenger also used profanity and was touching and jabbing other passengers.
Authorities said 45-year-old Maria Esther Castillo of Oswego, N.Y., has been charged with resisting arrest and interfering with the operations of a flight crew.
The flight was diverted Saturday to Charlotte, and police say that Castillo fought with police officers who came aboard the plane. She now faces a detention hearing on Thursday.

FREMONT CA NOV 6 2008— A man and woman could face felony charges after they apparently escaped the grasp of Wal-Mart security guards in Union City who tried to detain them for stealing video games, police said.
The two 25-year-old Fremont residents, identified as DeMario Brooks and Kiesha Davis, were arrested Monday in Canyon Heights, soon after leaving the store, on suspicion of robbery, Lt. Jim Bizieff said.
Union City police were dispatched to the store in the Union Landing shopping center about 4:30 p.m. after security guards said they tried to stop two people who left with three Xbox 360 video games that retail for $60 each, Bizieff said.
Guards got involved in a minor scuffle with the pair while trying to detain them, upgrading the crime from petty theft to robbery, Bizieff said.
“It becomes robbery if (the items) were taken by force or fear,” the lieutenant said.
Union City police put out a description and license plate of the getaway vehicle to neighboring law enforcement agencies, and within 20 minutes a Fremont officer spotted a similar 1995 Buick on Mission Boulevard near Niles, said Detective Bill Veteran of the Fremont Police Department.
The Fremont officer then followed the car into Canyon Heights, where it stopped on Wasatch Drive, where the arrests occurred, Veteran said.

Kerrville police on Tuesday said a man and a teenager arrested on shoplifting charges at the Wal-Mart there last weekend allegedly intended to use the loot — which included ski masks, black shirts and air pistols — to rob a supermarket that night.
Police Sgt. Drew Hufstedler said Wal-Mart security personnel apprehended Gregory Shupe, 20, and Jose A. Flores, 17, about 7:15 p.m. Friday.

A third man associated with Shupe and Flores was not charged but corroborated Flores’ account, Hufstedler said.
Both suspects were charged with theft and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery. They were jailed in lieu of $10,000 bail.
A Kerr County Jail official said Tuesday that Flores was released Saturday on bond and said Shupe remained in custody there.

Jennifer Pacheco, 36, 164 Montaup St., Fall River, was charged with larceny over $250 and larceny of a credit card after she snatched a purse from a grocery cart inside the store.
The owner of the purse followed Jennifer Pacheco through the store, confronting her near the exit, where Jennifer Pacheco threw the purse to the ground and fled. When the victim picked up her purse, she noticed her credit card was missing from the purse.
Store employee Paul Araujo witnessed the incident and followed Jennifer Pacheco from the store.

Araujo caught up with Jennifer Pacheco in front of the Highway Department building.

Jennifer Pacheco told police that she had been shopping with her husband. Meanwhile, Somerset Police Chief Joseph Ferreira had approached and then arrested Jamie M. Pacheco, 33, 265 Middle St., Fall River.
Jamie Pacheco told officers that Jennifer Pacheco was his ex-wife, and he had no knowledge of her criminal activity.Jamie Pacheco was carrying a plastic bag containing two frozen dinners with a value of $4.29. Jamie Pacheco could not produce a receipt for the items and told Ferreira he had stolen them from Stop & Shop. Jamie Pacheco was arrested for shoplifting.

Man charged in armored car robbery http://www.privateofficer.com
Monroe Wa Nov 6 2008

NTL. ASSOC. PRIVATE OFFICERS
www.privateofficer.com
A man police say robbed an armored car and then floated away has been arrested.
Monroe police, with the assistance of the FBI, arrested the man on a warrant Monday night in connection with the Brinks armored-car robbery that occurred outside a Bank of America branch on Sept. 30. The suspect made his get-away down a nearby river in an innertube.
.Police later found an inner tube along the creek.
Police said they believe that the inner tube was used in the robbery, though they’re not exactly sure how. Police spokeswoman Debbie Willis said the man is not talking.
Police said Anthony J. Curcio, 28, is suspected of having planned the robbery carefully, planting a “landscape worker” disguise behind a trash bin weeks earlier and posting a phony Craigslist employment ad to lure similarly dressed decoy workers to area on the day of the robbery.
During the heist, police said Curcio pepper-sprayed a Brinks armored-car guard, grabbed a bag of money and ran toward Woods Creek, police said. As he ran, the suspect dropped a pepper spray canister, a smaller bag of money, a hat, wig and sunglasses and a white particle mask
Willis said that police speculate that the man either floated downriver himself, or used it to carry the money, an undisclosed “significant” amount that would be heavy and hard to carry through brush.
Police traced the man when a citizen came forward and told them about finding a pile of clothes and a dust mask behind a trash bin near the bank about three weeks before the robbery. The concerned citizen reported the clothes to parks employees and took the license plate number of a man who later picked them up.
The state crime lab got a DNA sample from the dust mask the robber discarded as he ran and matched it with the DNA of the owner of the car seen near the trash bin, police said.
The Lake Stevens man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail on investigation of first-degree robbery.

.Police later found an inner tube along the creek.
Police said they believe that the inner tube was used in the robbery, though they’re not exactly sure how. Police spokeswoman Debbie Willis said the man is not talking.
Police said Anthony J. Curcio, 28, is suspected of having planned the robbery carefully, planting a “landscape worker” disguise behind a trash bin weeks earlier and posting a phony Craigslist employment ad to lure similarly dressed decoy workers to area on the day of the robbery.
During the heist, police said Curcio pepper-sprayed a Brinks armored-car guard, grabbed a bag of money and ran toward Woods Creek, police said. As he ran, the suspect dropped a pepper spray canister, a smaller bag of money, a hat, wig and sunglasses and a white particle mask
Willis said that police speculate that the man either floated downriver himself, or used it to carry the money, an undisclosed “significant” amount that would be heavy and hard to carry through brush.
Police traced the man when a citizen came forward and told them about finding a pile of clothes and a dust mask behind a trash bin near the bank about three weeks before the robbery. The concerned citizen reported the clothes to parks employees and took the license plate number of a man who later picked them up.
The state crime lab got a DNA sample from the dust mask the robber discarded as he ran and matched it with the DNA of the owner of the car seen near the trash bin, police said.
The Lake Stevens man was booked into the Snohomish County Jail on investigation of first-degree robbery.
