Three University of Tennessee at Chattanooga police officers have been terminated for alcohol use on campus.
The investigation had been on-going for several months and the officers had been placed on administrative leave due to a probe of the alleged alcohol use.
Reports that the officers had taken part of a party where underage drinking by students had been allowed was at the root of the investigation.
The officers who were terminated are Sgt. Paul Dodds, Cpl. Jeremy Morrison, and Officer Chase Kilgore.
Chuck Cantrell, UTC spokesperson, said , “The allegations against the officers are not directly related to a shooting incident that occurred on campus in August 2008 but were brought to the university’s attention during the investigation into that incident.”The allegations are all related to inappropriate alcohol use, but not all allegations involve students.”
Cantrell released no other statements about their probe at this time.

ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY, N.Y. Mar 20 2009– State Police arrested Canton High School teacher Paul Bevins this week after receiving a complaint that he was involved in illegal activity. Bevins is accused of giving alcohol to one of his students, Gerald Cross, on two occasions when he was 18. In a statement to police, Cross said the first time Bevins gave him alcohol was last summer at his home in Canton.
Cross said, “When I was at Mr. Bevin’s house, I was talking to him about watching his dogs and he gave me a drink. I am not sure what it was. It was clear and I only had one.”
Bevins told police,” I only gave him one Parrot Bay. It was only one alcoholic drink and I don’t believe it was enough to get him intoxicated. He was taking care of the dogs so I was just trying to be courteous.”
Cross told police he drove Bevins and his friend, Joey, home from a bar sometimes and helped Bevins move into his current home in Potsdam in January. A few days later, Bevins invited him and some other people over to his new place.
“We were all hanging out and Mr. Bevins made some alcoholic drinks for everyone and I asked if I could have a drink,” said Cross. “I am pretty sure he is the one that told me there was one on the counter but I am not positive. I knew the drink had alcohol in it and I could tell when I drank it.”
Bevins told police everyone at the party was 21 or older except for Cross.
“He was not 21 yet, but I invited him over because it was Joey’s going-away party,” said Bevins.”I believe I made Gerald two drinks. If he had more than that other people there must have made them for him.”In his statement, Bevins told police he regrets giving Cross alcohol and his judgment was impaired on the second occasion because he was intoxicated.
“I know better than to do something like that and I will never make the mistake again in the future,” he said.
Bevins will appear in both Canton and Potsdam village courts later this month. He could not be reached for comment.As for Bevins’ status with the district, Canton Central School Superintendent William Gregory told us he cannot comment on the situation.

Chicago may allow security to issue tickets www.privateofficer.com

Chicago IL Mar 20 2009
Two South Side aldermen are drafting an ordinance to allow private security firms to write minor citations now handled by sworn police officers, one of the aldermen said today.
Ald. Anthony Beale (9th) said private security firms have been hired by two commercial-district organizations in his ward and that of Ald. John Pope (10th). In the 9th Ward, armed guards for those firms already patrol 103rd Street from State Street to Corliss Avenue as well as Michigan Avenue between 100th and 116th Streets, he said.
“Their purpose is to aid and assist the Chicago Police Department, mainly in the business districts,” Beale said of the firms, hired by special service areas, or districts that pay extra property taxes to pay for infrastructure and services that only benefit a small area. “Just having that extra presence is a deterrent.”
But they could be more effective, Beale said, if they could write tickets for graffiti, littering or parking-meter violations. Pope and he are talking to police and other city officials about giving them that authority and hope to soon bring the proposal before the City Council, he said.
Mark Donahue, president of the Fraternal Order of Police, said he was not familiar with the proposal or its details but nevertheless had reservations.
“We would be against it from the law-enforcement perspective, based upon the fact they’re not trained law enforcement,” Donahue said. “From the taxpayer’s point of view, I would be outraged that I wasn’t getting sufficient police service and someone is going to pay private security personnel to perform [those services].”

Teacher arrested for masturbating in class www.privateofficer.com
March 20, 2009

MARRERO, La.Mar 20 2009 – A teacher at Higgins High School has been arrested by Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s deputies for obscenity after three students claimed they saw the teacher masturbating alone, inside a classroom, according to JP spokesman Col. John Fortunato.
Joey Lehrman, 22, New Orleans, was arrested for obscenity. He admitted, according to police, to unbuckling his pants and rubbing lotion on his lower stomach, adding he did this because of a medical condition. Lehrman also said he rubbed lotion on his genitalia, police said.
Lehrman, according to police, has been teaching at Higgins since 2008 and had no prior record. School officials said that Lehrman was an employee of Teach for America, not an employee of JP public schools.
JP school officials said they have suspended Lehrman without pay.

Former mall guard arrested for kidnapping www.privateofficer.com
March 20, 2009
Leave a comment
ALBANY GA Mar 20 2009 — A former mall security guard suspected of posing as a police officer to kidnap and sexually assault local women over a period of weeks was arrested after a raid of his home Wednesday, authorities say.
Phillip Benjamin Conner, 26, is being charged initially with kidnapping, false imprisonment and sexual battery, Dougherty District Attorney Greg Edwards said.
“We just arrested a man by the name of Phillip Conner on an allegation that he has apparently kidnapped, falsely imprisoned several women over the last several weeks,” Edwards said.
Aided by the Albany-Dougherty SWAT team, investigators in the district attorney’s office and GBI Agents raided Conner’s home around noon Wednesday.
Assistant Special Agent-in-Charge Mark Pro of the Sylvester GBI office said that agents were in the process of interrogating Conner Wednesday afternoon. He said more charges could follow in the coming days.
“Well, it’s a two-phase investigation,” Pro said. “Some of the warrants are going to come from the APD (Albany Police Department), and some of the warrants are going to come from us.
“We just made the arrest today and they’re still interviewing him, so we’re still in the early stages here.”
Edwards said that the scope of the allegations is chilling. Without divulging vital details of the investigation, he said the general allegation is that Conner was posing as a narcotics officer before stealing women away and holding them against there will.
“I called the GBI in when we first heard about it because we weren’t sure if this was someone posing as an officer or if it was an actual officer,” Edwards said. “The general allegation is that (Conner) posed as an officer and held them against their will before sexually assaulting them.”
Conner is also a suspect in an aggravated sodomy case the APD is investigating, APD Spokesperson Phyllis Banks said.
Police are investigating the complaint after a woman told them Monday that she was walking near a local motel when a man picked her up and held her against her will before sexually assaulting her. Banks said detectives are eyeing Conner in the case, but no charges have been filed.
Conner has active warrants against him for theft and ID fraud stemming from a July 2008 incident in which he’s accused of stealing a Verizon Voyager phone from a kiosk at the Albany Mall and using it, court documents show.
Edwards distributed Conner’s mug shot Wednesday in hopes that any other possible victims would come forward. At this point, Edwards will say only that “several” women have been assaulted.

St.Louis airport workers busted for stealing from luggage http://www.privateofficer.com
ST. Louis MO. Mar 20 2009
Police said Thursday they have broken up a theft ring among baggage handlers under contract to Delta at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and recovered an estimated 70 percent of the loot.
Police said Thursday they have broken up a theft ring among baggage handlers under contract to Delta at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport and recovered an estimated 70 percent of the loot.
Investigators have identified 16 victims so far but said there surely will be more because they believe that more than 900 items were taken over the past 15 months.Six baggage handlers and two of their friends, all in their 20s, are suspected but have not yet been charged, Airport Police Chief Paul Mason said.
He said they rifled through bags in a basement room of the airport where luggage travels on conveyor belts on the way to planes.
He said they rifled through bags in a basement room of the airport where luggage travels on conveyor belts on the way to planes.
Based on fliers’ complaints, police said, investigators narrowed the thefts to Delta, and then to the suspects.
Police at a news conference displayed an array of DVDs, digital cameras, GPS devices, cell phones, designer watches, video games, iPods and even two handguns recovered from the thieves. Cartons of cigarettes, bottles of perfume, sunglasses, knives, electronics equipment, batteries, diamond earrings and a wrench kit also were recovered.
The workers would stash the loot and carry it out at the end of the day under jackets or in backpacks, officials said.”These were friends and they just started stealing,” Mason said.The thefts were confined to Delta travelers and did not affect other airlines or other parts of the airport. Most victims were outbound fliers, said the lead investigator, Detective Eric K. Williams.
The suspects were arrested earlier this month, and police recovered much of the loot from a home in Jersey County, where several of them lived.Baggage theft has been a recurrent problem at airports round the world.
A few weeks ago, 11 bag handlers at the airport in Hartford, Conn., were charged, according to published reports. Police here said they do not believe there is any connection.The six handlers here have been fired by their employer, Huntleigh USA Corp. Its chief executive officer, Richard Sporn, said Thursday that all employees undergo criminal background checks.He said the company will stress ethics training in the wake of the crimes but warned that security is a difficult issue because of the size of the airport, staffing limitations and the bustling nature of the baggage room.
The police have set up a hot line at 314-890-1822 for victims to reclaim property. Investigators will need specific information, such as descriptions of songs on iPods, pictures in phones and destinations programmed into GPS devices.

Shoplifter threatens security with knife www.privateofficer.com

FRAMINGHAM MA. March 20 2009
Police say a homeless man threatened Wal-Mart security guards Wednesday with a knife after stealing several video games. He told cops they could not arrest him because no one saw him commit the theft.
Daniel Gelb, 28, was arrested at 3:51 p.m. after he stole $267 worth of video games, Lt. Paul Shastany said.
Store security called police at 3:45 p.m and said they had just confronted a shoplifter who had pulled a knife on them.
He ran from Wal-Mart toward Bugaboo Creek and through a wooded area to Kohl’s, Shastany said.
Officer Bob Tibor ordered Gelb to the ground at gunpoint. Another officer found a knife in Gelb’s pocket.
“He said, ‘I didn’t do anything. I don’t know what these people were doing to me,”‘ said Shastnay. “He said he couldn’t be arrested because no one saw him do it.”
Security officers told police they had video of Gelb stealing several video games. He put them under a shirt he was carrying and rushed out of the store, police said.
Security officers followed him, finding him sitting outside, still holding the games.
“They asked him to come back to the store with them, and he said, ‘I’m not going with you. I’m not going anywhere,”‘ said Shastany. “He grabbed a knife (from his pocket) and slashed it toward the security officers, and he ran off.”
Because Gelb threatened the guards with a knife, the shoplifting charge became an armed robbery, Shastany said.
Gelb has several open charges out of Newton District Court, including heroin possession.
Gelb was charged with armed robbery, shoplifting of items worth more than $100, assault with a dangerous weapon and possessing a dangerous weapon.
Gelb was ordered held on $2,500 bail after his Framingham District Court arraignment yesterday. He’ll be held at the Middlesex Jail in Cambridge until a probable cause hearing on April 15.

sunsentinel.com – A Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputy shot and killed a man who broke into his home this morning as he was preparing for work.
According to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred about 8 a.m. along the 600 block of South Palmway.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Teri Barbera said the deputy had just gotten out of the shower and was not yet in uniform. His unmarked car was in the driveway, so the suspect must have known someone was home, Barbera said.
They got into a struggle that ended in the deputy killing him with a shot to the head. It is unclear if the man was armed.
She would not release the deputy’s name, but said he is an administrative deputy who has a rank and has been with the agency for 15 to 20 years.
