Snohomish County Sheriff’s Deputies and school security responded to an alarm at an area school after being dispatched by Sonitrol Pacific. Police said that the security system detected a break-in November 22.
Operator Jaime Maranville working for Sonitrol received an impact-activated audio signal from the school and immediately dispatched the school’s patrol service and sheriff’s deputies. Unlike traditional burglar alarms, the Sonitrol Pacific system employs audio sensors to detect threatening activity and deliver comprehensive intrusion coverage.
While security patrol officers and the sheriff’s department were rolling to the school, Maranville continued to monitor the audio from the school and heard crashing noises and two men talking. The dispatcher notified the responding officers and when officers arrived they found a broken window and soon were able to take one individual into custody.
A sheriff’s department K9 unit was then called in to track down a second suspected burglar. Although the suspect was able to elude capture, he dropped the school’s new video camera during the escape.
According to deputies, in addition to attempting to take the camera, the suspects vandalized the building using the school’s fire extinguishers. The camera sustained some damage when dropped during the suspect’s get-away, but still works.
Investigators are still working on locating the suspect who got away and suspect number one has been charged with numerous felonies relating to the burglary of the school.

Sheriff’s arrest felony shoplifting suspects http://www.privateofficer.com
Lee County Fla.DEC 5 2008
Sheriff deputies arrested to women who they say shoplifted from area stores.
According to a report:
Sheriff deputies arrested to women who they say shoplifted from area stores.
According to a report:
On December 1, 2008, deputies were dispatched to the Gulf Coast Town Center in reference to a reported theft.
The store manager of Bath and Body Works reported two women in the store acting strangely, the release said. Since the manager was alone in the store and unable to keep an eye on both women, she summoned the manager from an adjoining store for help.
That manager was able to observe the suspects through the window…and witnessed the suspects concealing merchandise, according to the report.The suspects then ran off. Witnesses saw them get into a white minivan and were able to write down the tag number, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Later in the day, a deputy doing routine patrol at Miromar Outlets spotted the vehicle. A perimeter was set up and two subjects matching the descriptions of the suspects were detained walking in the mall near the Nike Factory Outlets.
Several bags full of stolen merchandise were found inside the minivan, the release reported.Further investigation reveals the two women are suspects in retail thefts at Gulf Coast Town Center, Miromar Outlets, Bell Tower Shops and Edison Mall. Lee County Sheriff’s detectives believe the two suspects may be responsible for more than $80,000 in thefts from stores across the state, according to the report.
The women arrested were identified as Susan Weis, DOB 10-2-79, of 8251 SW 3rd Place, North Lauderdale, FL, and Julie Overton, DOB 10-26-69, of 26 Pleasant Hill Lane, Tamarac, FL., according to the Lee Sheriff’s Office.Both face charges of Larceny Theft; Criminal Conspiracy; and Dealing and Trafficking in Stolen Property. Detectives say more arrests are possible.

Niagara Falls police officer charged with trafficking cocaine http://www.privateofficer.com
Niagara Falls NY DEC 5 2008
buffnews.com
A Niagara Falls police officer was arrested Tuesday night on accusations that he trafficked in cocaine — sometimes while wearing his police uniform — and forced two women to have sex with him.
Officers from his own department, working with federal agents, arrested Officer Ryan G. Warme, 27, on multiple felony charges, U.S. Attorney Terrance P. Flynn said.
“These are very disturbing charges, involving the misuse of an officer’s police powers,” he said. “It started with an internal investigation by the Niagara Falls police, with federal agents joining the investigation. These are federal charges.”
Warme is accused of trafficking in cocaine, sometimes while on duty and in uniform. He is also accused of wielding a weapon — his police sidearm — during the commission of drug crimes and is charged with forcing two women to have sex with him.
Investigators learned that at one point, Warme was purchasing cocaine from drug dealers in Niagara Falls “two to five times a week,” Flynn said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Anthony M. Bruce accused Warme of holding his hand on his police firearm while forcing one of the women to commit sodomy on him. Authorities said Warme forced the woman to commit the sex act after he was called to her apartment last year to investigate an allegation that a former boyfriend abused her.
The woman who made the allegation knew Warme and had a previous relationship with him, authorities alleged.
A second woman alleged that Warme raped her last year.
According to Flynn, federal agents from the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives and the Drug Enforcement Administration worked with Niagara Falls police for months on the investigation.
The prosecutor said Warme, who lives on Ninth Street in Niagara Falls, was arrested in that city Tuesday night. He was expected to appear today in federal court in Buffalo after spending the night in jail.
Flynn commended Niagara Falls Police Superintendent John R. Chella for opening the investigation and seeking the assistance of federal agents and prosecutors. “It is never easy for any police chief to pursue charges against one of his own officers,” he said.

U.S. Border Patrol Agents Indicted In Drug Case http://www.privateofficer.com
McALLEN, Texas Dec 5 2008 — Two South Texas Border Patrol agents appeared in federal court Thursday on charges alleging they helped drug traffickers move their product across the U.S.-Mexico border.
A grand jury in Houston returned sealed indictments Dec. 1 against Leonel Morales, 30, of the Border Patrol’s Laredo sector and Salomon Ruiz, 34, of the Rio Grande Valley sector.
Both men made their initial appearances in federal courthouses in McAllen and Laredo on Thursday after the FBI arrested them Wednesday. They will remain in custody until their respective detention hearings next week, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Ruiz, of McAllen, faces four counts including taking about $14,000 in bribes to escort drugs between October 2006 and September 2008, conspiring to possess and distribute cocaine, possessing cocaine and aiding the possession of the drug.
Each of the drug charges carries a sentence of 10 years to life.
It was not immediately known Thursday if Ruiz or Morales had retained lawyers who could comment on their cases.
Border Patrol spokesman Lloyd Easterling said weeding out corrupt agents was something the agency took very seriously.
“We have several open investigations going on,” Easterling said.
The FBI, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General, Customs and Border Protection Internal Affairs and the Border Patrol participated in the investigations, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a prepared statement.
Morales, of Zapata County, faces three counts including taking about $9,000 in bribes to escort drugs between June and August of this year, conspiring to possess cocaine and possession with intent to distribute cocaine. The FBI arrested Morales without incident late Wednesday.
“The recent arrest of Leonel Morales is a reminder of the sever consequences of succumbing to avarice and the promise of ill-gotten gains,” said Carlos X. Carrillo, the Laredo Sector’s chief patrol agent.

Security guard arrested for car break ins http://www.privateofficer.com
San Francisco CA. Dec 5 2008
A parking garage security guard at San Francisco International Airport has been arrested for allegedly burglarizing vehicles parked in the lot, authorities said today.
Andrew Kenneth Ridley, 24, was taken into custody Wednesday during the execution of a search warrant at his Daly City home.
The arrest came at the end of a three-week investigation by San Mateo County sheriff’s detectives and the San Francisco Police Department’s airport bureau.
Sheriff’s Sgt. Wesley Matsuura said authorities were notified by New South Parking, the company that operates the airport’s parking garages, that they had learned one of the guards at the lot had been stealing from cars.
Matsuura said the burglaries occurred at multiple lots including Lot DD, the airport’s long-term parking lot. He said investigators know of at
least three specific burglaries but said there may have been more.
The search of Ridley’s home yielded allegedly stolen items including laptops, BlackBerrys, GPS devices, cell phones and backpacks, Matsuura said.
Ridley was arrested on charges of auto burglary, possession of stolen property and possession of burglary tools.
He said investigators are still trying to locate the owners of some the items, and asked anyone who may have been a victim of such a burglary to call the sheriff’s office at (650) 821-6200.

School principal, secretary charged in school thefts http://www.privateofficer.com
STANLY COUNTY, NC Nov 5 2008 (WBTV) – Two educators from Stanly County are facing charges after deputies say they stole money from a local high school.

An outside company conducted an audit and discovered that an undetermined amount of money had been taken, misappropriated or otherwise stolen from the school.
Steele was charged with embezzlement, larceny by employee and obtaining property by false pretense.

MIAMI Fla Dec 5 2008– Police are looking for two men who they said ambushed an armored truck then forced the guards to assist in their getaway.

The Miami-Dade Police Department said at least two robbers loaded money from the Brinks truck into their vehicle before fleeing the scene at 83 Avenue and Flagler Street. The incident first occurred across the street at the Publix supermarket plaza at approximately 6:16 a.m. on Thursday.
The Brinks employee walked out after servicing the automatic teller machine and the men approached him, Litz reported.
The men allegedly forced the employee into the truck, tied him up and told the driver in the truck to drive out of the plaza and into an alleyway at 295 Park Boulevard.
This is the second time an armored truck was robbed this week. On Monday, a Dunbar armored truck was robbed at the Dadeland Mall and the driver died after the incident.
The FBI is working with Miami-Dade police to investigate the robbery, NBC 6’s Steve Litz reported.
Police are looking for the suspects involved in the Dunbar and Brinks robberies.
Police said the men in the Brinks robbery are Latin. They spoke Spanish to the guards. The men drove off in an SUV, possibly a Chevrolet Tahoe or a Ford Expedition, Litz reported.
Investigators believe a third suspect and another vehicle may have been involved.
Brinks is offering a $25,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the men.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers Of Miami-Dade at 305-471-TIPS or click here to submit a tip to the Web tip infofrmation.

Body of dead shoplifter found http://www.privateofficer.com
MONROE ORE DEC 5 2008

http://www.privateofficer.com/— One month after jumping into the Willamette River to avoid the clutches of Valley River Center security guards, the fate of suspected shoplifter William Christopher Griffith is known: His body was found washed ashore about 20 miles north of Eugene.
Benton County sheriff’s officials identified Griffith, 37, as the person whose body was discovered Sunday along the river by deer hunters near Dodge Island Road, east of Monroe.
“It’s a sad ending to this case,” Eugene police spokeswoman Melinda Kletzok said.
Before this week, police were unsure of Griffith’s fate.
He dove from the Maurie Jacobs bike bridge in Eugene into the chilly waters of the Willamette on the night of Oct. 30.
At the time, Griffith was being chased by mall security guards who said he stole a bracelet and a pair of shoes from Macy’s.
Kletzok said the guards tried to persuade Griffith to come back to shore, but he did not heed their advice.
Eugene police and Lane County marine deputies searched several hours that night for the suspected shoplifter, with no luck.
At the time, investigators said it was possible that Griffith — whose identity was not known — found his way to a riverbank and escaped.
Officials with the state Medical Examiners Office concluded that Griffith likely drowned, although the cause of death is officially undetermined.
Benton County Sheriff Diana Simpson said it took some effort to figure out that Griffith was the person who ran from the guards in Eugene.
“The detective working on the case learned of the shoplifting incident and was able to get the surveillance tape from Macy’s,” Simpson said.
“The body was decomposed to the point where no facial identification could be made, but (Griffith) was wearing the same T-shirt,” she said.
Police showed an earlier mug shot of Griffith to mall security guards, who “were 90 percent sure” it depicted the person who fled Macy’s and jumped into the river, Simpson said.
Oregon State Police investigators identified Griffith through fingerprints.
Court records show Griffith lived in Eugene. Simpson said police notified Griffith’s family in Arkansas of his death.

Alert security officer aids in burglary arrests http://www.privateofficer.com
Columbus IN Dec 5 2008 BY: Rick McCann

Police responding to a burglary in progress at a local furniture store are giving credit to a security officer for the capture of two men who they say was doing the burglarizing.
The security officer was on patrol at another business when he spotted two men climbing out of a broken window at the Furniture Plus store in Eastbrook Plaza shortly before midnight Wednesday.
He quickly notified police and gave them the suspect’s description as well as the description of the vehicle that they were leaving in.
That information helped the Bartholomew County Sheriff’s deputies who later spotted the vehicle in the Taylorsville area and stopped the men.
Corey A. Bates, 39, of Indianapolis, was charged preliminarily with burglary, false informing and was wanted on a Marion County warrant.
David L. Staten, 38, of Indianapolis, was charged preliminarily with burglary.
They allegedly damaged the store’s window and cash register and stole a “small, undisclosed amount of cash,” police said.
Columbus Police Lt. Joe Richardson said the security officer made a difference in the case.”He was able to pay attention to details that helped us make this quick arrest,” Richardson said.
