REHOBOTH, DEL. May 13 2009
The Delaware State Police have arrested two women for a May 11 armed robbery at the Exxon gas station located at the intersection of Route 1 and Route 24.
Police said two women wearing gloves, black hoodies, masks and sunglasses entered the store on Monday morning at approximately 2:40 a.m. armed with a razor blade and handgun. They confronted the 23-year-old clerk, announced it was a robbery and demanded money.
The clerk complied and opened the cash register when one of the female robbers reached in the drawer and grabbed approximately $300.
Both female suspects then attempted to flee the store when they encountered an on-duty resort security officer who police said witness the robbery.
The security officer confronted the suspects at which point they attempted to run away on foot. The security officer gave chase, apprehended both of them in the parking lot, and detained both of them until state police arrived.
Police recovered the razor blade, money and a black Daisy CO2 BB Gun that was the handgun used in the crime.
As a result of the investigation, Maria C. Summers, 25, of Rehoboth Beach, and Marie E. Simmers, 24, of Milton were arrested for first-degree robbery, wearing a disguise during the commission of a felony, conspiracy (2nd degree), possession of a firearm during the commission of felony and possession of a deadly weapon during commission of a felony.
They have been incarcerated at the Delores J Baylor Women’s Correctional Center on a $64,000 secured bail

KANSAS CITY, Mo. May 13 2009 Police didn’t have to dust for fingerprints to find this suspect—they just rifled through the wallet he left behind at the scene.
Albert Vincent Perkins was charged with robbing First Federal Bank in Kansas City on Thursday.
Police said he walked into the bank, handed the teller a plastic bag and ordered her to give him all of the $100 bills.
Then he walked out of the bank—but left his wallet sitting on the counter.
The U.S. attorney’s office said the teller and a customer in the bank identified the photo on the driver’s license and another photo in the wallet as the robber.
Perkins was arrested Thursday night. Police say he took about $3,100.

St.Croix County WI May 13 2009
The wife of a western Wisconsin man charged in a 2003 armored car robbery drove the getaway car and deposited huge sums of money in a bank, according to charges filed in St. Croix County Circuit Court.
Debra Ann Wiegand, 29, of Herbster, Wis., was charged Monday with two counts of armed robbery, one count of receiving stolen property, one count of arson and one count of operating a motor vehicle without the owner’s consent. All are felonies.
The complaint said Wiegand and her husband, Zachary R. Wiegand, 32, stole four bags of cash containing $238,000 in the Hudson, Wis., robbery.
The complaint also says she took time off from her job at Christian Community Home in Hudson, Wis., to rent a safety deposit box. She made a series of deposits that totaled $104,393.04 in River Bank in Osceola.
Zachary Wiegand was sentenced last week to 12 years in a Minnesota prison for the first-degree attempted murder of a Lake Elmo woman when he tried to take her car at a rural intersection in Washington County on May 28, 2003.
After shooting her four times, he stole another woman’s van at gunpoint. He allegedly used that vehicle in the armed robbery of an armored car in Hudson the next day. His wife is accused of driving him from the scene after he set fire to the van.
He’s charged with five felonies in St. Croix County.
A break in the case came last fall when a Washington County investigator traced a handgun found in a Minneapolis traffic stop to Zachary Wiegand.

MANNING, S.C. May 13 2009 — A waitress at a South Carolina Waffle House has been arrested and accused of shooting a customer who complained about the service.
The Clarendon County Sheriff’s Office says 29-year-old Yakeisha Ward of Manning is charged with assault and battery within intent to kill.
Deputies say Ward worked at a Waffle House in Manning and was involved in a fight about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.
Lt. Tommy Burgess says the fight started when customer Crystal Samuel complained about the quality of service in the crowded restaurant.
“I thought I was gonna get me an All-Star,” Samuel told WLTX-TV. “Grits, sausage, toast, eggs and a waffle.”
Samuel said service was slow and when the food finally arrived she began arguing with Ward.
Samuel admits throwing a waffle at the waitress.
“I did actually throw some food but it didn’t hit her,” said Samuel. “That’s when she (Ward) jumped across the counter and we got into it,” says Samuel.
Burgess says Ward went to her van to get a gun.
Samuel was hit in the arm when Ward fired as those trying to break up the fight pointed the gun to the ground and a bullet ricocheted. It was unclear if Ward had an attorney.

Natick MA May 13 2009
A suspected shoplifter is facing more serious charges than he bargained for, including assault to kill, after allegedly striking a cop with his car while fleeing the Natick Collection mall.
State police arrested Anthony Saiete, 30, of Warwick, R.I., tonight on Route 495 north in Bolton early after troopers ended the pursuit by blowing out his sedan’s tires with stop sticks.
The front passenger door was still hanging off the vehicle from where it had hit a plainclothes Natick detective, a source said
Natick police Lt. Brian Grassey said Saiete will be charged with shoplifting in excess of $100, conspiracy, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a police officer, assault to kill, resisting arrest, failure to stop and creating a nuisance.
The alleged female accomplice he abandoned at the mall after she was detained by mall security who’d chased the couple from a Sunglass Hut is being charged with shoplifting in excess of $100 and conspiracy, Grassey said. She was identified tonight as Kimberly Carroll, 40, of Walpole.
Grassey said two plainclothes detectives from Natick police were at the mall about 4 p.m. “and made observations of what appeared to be a store larceny unfolding right in front of them.”
With the female suspect safely detained, the detectives saw the man get into his car after leaving his gal pal to face the music.
“One detective went to the driver’s side and ordered the driver to shut the car down,” Grassey said.
The other detective went to the passenger door and ordered the driver to do the same, but instead, Grassey said the driver “put the car into reverse” and struck the officer.
The detective was “transported to the hospital for observation,” Grassey said. “We do not know the nature of the injuries. They are not believed to be serious.

Watsonville CA May 13 2009
A County Jail inmate who escaped from Dominican Hospital on Monday night after assaulting a security guard was caught with help from a police dog about 90 minutes later, the Sheriff’s Office reported Tuesday.
Nathan J. Anderson, 24, was taken to the hospital for an undisclosed medical condition and his leg shackles had been removed for treatment when he punched the guard at least twice and escaped, Sgt. Greg Lansdowne said.
The Watsonville man was found in a neighborhood near the hospital, he said.
Deputies accompany inmates on hospital visits if their record indicates they could be a risk, Lansdowne said.
Anderson now faces new charges of felony battery and escape, he added.
Court records show that Anderson has been convicted of petty theft.
On April 27, he pleaded innocent to arson, grand theft and resisting arrest, a court official said.

Cincinnati OH May 13 2009
A husband and wife woke up Wednesday with a rap sheet after an alleged attack on a Riverbend Music Center security guard Tuesday night that included pulling her hair and biting her breast.
Deputies with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office say the melee began around 8:45 p.m. That’s when 30-year-old Christopher Squires of West Carrolton allegedly rushed to the aid of his wife who was being ejected from an event by a security guard.
Squires allegedly pulled the female guard by her hair for a distance of four feet, and threw her to the ground.
At the same time, his wife, 28-year-old Kate Squires, assaulted the guard and bit her breast, deputies say. Kate Squires was allegedly drunk at the time.
Both suspects are facing misdemeanor assault charges. They were arraigned on Wednesday.
Riverbend’s PNC Pavilion played host to a Kings Of Leon concert Tuesday night, but it is not clear if the couple was in attendance.

Fremont CA May 13 2009
California Highway Patrol investigators say 25 people have now reported having been shot at while driving a stretch of Interstate 680 in Fremont during the last few weeks.
Under the cover of darkness, someone has been using a BB gun or some sort of air rifle to target drivers in both directions of I-680 between Mission and Washington boulevards, said Sgt. Trent Cross. He said the shootings have primarily been on weekend nights.
“We are working around the clock to catch this person,” said Cross, adding that uniformed and undercover officers are part of the investigation.
There have been a few shattered windows and other property damage to vehicles, he said. Other than a minor injury reported Saturday, no one else has been hurt.
Originally there were reports of five drivers who said they were shot at in that area on Saturday night. As information has been reported in the media, other drivers have come forward and the number has grown.
CHP is increasing patrols in that area and recommends that if drivers believe they have been shot at, they should pull to a safe location and then call 911.
