Former mountain bike champion charged with marijuana distribution www.privateofficer.com
The arrests came this week after an investigation that started in Illinois and led police on Tuesday to Albany International Airport, then an Albany hotel and finally to a home in Wilton.
Melissa “The Missile” Giove, 37, from Chesapeake, Va., and Eric Canori, 30, of Preserve Way in Wilton, were charged by federal agents with conspiracy with an intent to possess and distribute more than 220 pounds of marijuana.
Giove was a world champion downhill mountain biker when she was 21 and the first two-time World Cup season champion in 1997 and 1998. She was a three-time National Off-Road Biking Association downhill national champion in 1999, 2000 and 2001, according to “Bike For Life,” a book by Roy Wallack and Bill Katousky that contained interviews with a dozen of the top biking champions of the past and present, including Giove.
Giove, who appeared on national late-night talk shows during her career, retired from downhill mountain bike racing in 2003, according to the book.
Police allege that between Friday and Tuesday, Giove, Canori and others agreed to receive and distribute the marijuana.
Erin Mulvey, a DEA spokeswoman, said that a person driving a rental truck pulling a box trailer behind it was stopped in Illinois by state police last week.
Illinois troopers arrested Tamara Geagley, 24, who was driving the truck. Authorities then took the truck and trailer, loaded with about 220 pounds of marijuana, and completed the delivery to the Albany area, according to Mulvey.
Police arranged the delivery of the truck and trailer to Giove, who was witnessed arriving at Albany International Airport on Tuesday morning. She took a taxi to the Hilton hotel in Albany, where she met a confidential police informant and accepted the truck and attached box trailer loaded with marijuana, according to the DEA. The box trailer was owned by Giove, police said.
Giove then drove the truck and trailer to a bookstore in Wilton, where she dropped off the undercover informant. She then drove to the parking lot of the Hannaford supermarket on Weibel Avenue and met Canori there, the criminal complaint stated. Giove then followed Canori to his Wilton home, where some of the trailer’s contents were unloaded, police said.
Giove and Canori then parted ways, according to the complaint that has been filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of New York, in Albany
Police followed Giove to Saratoga Lake, where she stopped the vehicle and trailer and was confronted by investigators. The trailer was searched and marijuana was found inside the trailer, the complaint said.
Police then searched the Wilton home around 5 p.m. Tuesday. The criminal complaint said that police and federal agents found “marijuana, a money counter, a heat sealer, plastic bags identical in size and color and the type used to hold and conceal the marijuana seized in the trailer, nine cellphones and approximately $1 million in cash concealed in a duffle bag in a hallway closet and in assorted shoe boxes in the basement.” A news release from the DEA said between $1 million and $2 million in cash was seized along with a total of about 400 pounds of marijuana.
Giove and Canori appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge David R. Homer on Wednesday in Albany. They are in the custody of U.S. Marshals pending detention hearings that will be held today.
Police and federal agents in three states, including the New York State Police, helped investigate the case, the DEA statement said. Members of the Capital District Drug Enforcement Task Force also participated in the investigation and arrests.

A University student was arrested and charged with felony theft by shoplifting after a worker at a downtown clothing store suspected her and another man of taking almost $700 in items.
Azadeh Shadea Sigari, an 18-year-old freshman from Marietta, was arrested following a call made to Athens-Clarke County police from a worker at Heery’s Clothes Closet.
According to the report:
The witness said a young couple came into the store June 11 and took multiple items amounting to $681. The items included a $325 orange Diane von Furstenberg dress, $98 cream Joie long-sleeved shirt, $158 white BCBG dress and $100 Language tube top.

The responding officers walked around downtown to notify retail businesses about the shoplifting suspects and about an hour later saw a couple matching the description given by the Heery’s worker.
Two witnesses from Heery’s then identified Sigari and Travis Ryan Moon as the couple who allegedly stole the merchandise.
The witnesses said Sigari and Moon “took items into the dressing room and when they exited [the witnesses] did not see the items. After the couple left the employees found where the tags had been removed from the clothes and hidden by some shoes.”

Traffic barrel artist arrested in NC www.privateofficer.com
Traffic barrel artist arrested in NC http://www.privateofficer.com
When Joseph Carnevale chopped up three stolen orange and white traffic barrels from a construction site to create a massive sculpture of a roadside monster thumbing a ride, the North Carolina college student said he saw it as a form of street art.
Police just saw vandalism.
They dismantled the 10-foot “barrel monster” and arrested Carnevale. Hundreds of online supporters want the charges dropped and the publicity has turned the history major and part-time construction worker into a local celebrity.
Even the construction company has become a fan, and wants the 21-year-old to create a replica of the figure that led to his arrest on June 10.
“It’s surprising how many people have called attention to it,” Carnevale said.
The college junior hadn’t spent much time planning when he set out the night of May 31 and snatched the barrels from the site near the North Carolina State University campus where he studies.
“I had the idea in class that morning, and it kind of grew in my head, until it was something I had to do,” he said. He went back to his apartment and in an hour and a half returned to the site to assemble the freshly painted pieces before driving away.
What emerged was a hulking figure that seemed to extend a thumb, seeking a ride from passing cars. The next morning police dismantled the creation and took the pieces in for evidence while they searched for the perpetrator.
Although photos quickly spread on the Internet featuring the “barrel monster,” it was an N.C. State newspaper article that offered enough clues to lead police to a Web site that identified Carnevale. Police charged him with larceny and destruction of property, both misdemeanors, and he’s scheduled to appear in court next month.
Carnevale, an Indianapolis native, prides himself on his street art, but said he’s most interested in guerrilla photography – making art and snapping images from restricted locations.
“If you can break the rules, and no one knows they were broken in the first place, then there’s no point,” he said.
His apartment walls serve as a canvas, covered in various hues of paint, with images on the walls and doors of sharks, hollow skulls and even Gandhi. His 1997 Volkswagen Jetta is almost completely covered in hot-glued beer bottle caps.
Carnevale has made other street art pieces with stolen barrels, including an alligator and caricatures with small arms.
Hamlin Associates, the construction company whose barrels were turned into a monster, doesn’t want to press charges.
“We’ve had a fair amount of vandalism, but never anyone turn it into art,” President Steven Hussey said. “I actually thought it was pretty neat.”
Hussey said the value of the publicity his company has received is well above the $365 cost of the traffic barrels that Carnevale used.
“It’s been positive publicity for us,” he said. “If we’d known he’d do that good of a work, we’d have given him the barrels.”
Carnevale said he’s weighing Hussey’s offer to reconstruct the monster for the company’s offices in Climax, N.C., possibly for pay. Meanwhile, at least three Facebook support groups have formed to support Carnevale, including “Don’t Charge Joseph Carnevale,” boasting more than 800 members.
Police spokeswoman Laura Hourigan said the charges won’t be dropped, despite the company’s stance.
“The police department obviously has a job to do,” she said. “And if someone is going to destroy property, we’re going to take care of that situation.”
Hourigan said police are speaking with the District Attorney’s office to investigate other street art by Carnevale, though she would not discuss details. Hourigan said Carnevale’s Web site displayed photos of destroyed property.
Carnevale said he’s not sure what he’ll do next, though he’s interested in creating a T-Rex sculpture out of barrels.

When the employee found it ”suspicious” and tried to detain the customer, the man hit him with the cart knocking him to the ground. The shoplifter ran into the parking lot with another man and they left in a blue car with dark tint.

Lopez gave Gastonia Police Officer J. Alfonso another man’s name and date of birth inside the store, Alfonso wrote in the affidavit. He provided his correct name when taken to the Gaston County Jail.
Lopez was charged with shoplifting-concealment of goods, injury to personal property and identity theft. He was jailed under a $2,500 secured bond.
MANATEE COUNTY Fla – At first, it seemed that a man who set fire to racks of clothes at a Manatee County Wal-Mart store Thursday was just an angry customer who had been refused a refund at the service desk.
But later, Manatee investigators learned the man was was actually trying to return stolen merchandise from what may be an organized shoplifting ring.
“It’s absolutely ridiculous,” said sheriff’s spokesman Dave Bristow. “He went in there, stole their stuff, then comes right back in and goes to customer service and tries to exchange what he just stole and then gets upset over that.”
Damage to merchandise and loss of sales at the Wal-Mart at State Road 70 and U.S. 301 could run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, Wal-Mart officials said Friday.
After the fire in the men’s department, the Wal-Mart was closed for 11 hours. No one was injured in the fire.
Deputies say the fire was started around 4 p.m. Thursday; the man who set the blaze escaped.
About two hours later, Manatee deputies arrested Phillip R. Wright, 41, of Monroe, Louisiana at a Wal-Mart on Lockwood Ridge Road and University Parkway where he was again trying to return the same items he tried to return earlier.
Wright has been charged with first-degree arson and retail theft as well as possession of crack cocaine after deputies found drugs on him, arrest reports said.
Deputies also arrested Chester Hayes, Jr., 49, of West Monroe, La., on charges of retail theft. Police say Hayes acted as an accomplice, waiting outside the store in a car and staying in contact with Wright by two-way radio.
According to Wal-Mart security, Wright walked around the State Road 70 Wal-Mart store with a cart picking up soda bottles, some water filters and accessories.
He picked a baseball cap and put it on his head.
He then bagged the items in a Wal-Mart plastic bag and left the store without paying.
He returned about 10 minutes later and tried to get a refund for the items valued at around $250.
Staff refused because he did not have a receipt. Wright threatened them before heading to the menswear department.
Surveillance video shows Wright bending down for a few seconds beneath three clothes racks in the men’s department, said Wal-Mart security guard Christopher Foy.
“I observed him crouched down on all three racks that caught on fire,” Foy said.
“The flames were anywhere from 15 to 20 feet. It was quickly contained; the associates acted very well,” he said.
Foy called nearby Wal-Mart stores with a description of the man and the items he was trying to refund.
He soon received a call from the Wal-Mart store on Lockwood Ridge saying they had a customer waiting in line at the customer service desk matching the description.
Foy called deputies and Wright was arrested while still waiting in line.
Bristow said the use of an accomplice and two-way radios suggested an organized operation.
“That tells us they’re maybe not first-timers doing this,” said Bristow.
“The fact he’s out-of-state tells us maybe he’s been been doing in other areas.”
Wal-Mart officials would not say exactly how much damage the fire caused, but said they lost sales when the store was closed from 4 p.m. Thursday until 3 a.m. Friday.
“We have loss of sales; we have clothing that we have to take into account we had to change out all the air filters in the conditioning units,” said Dana Cox, store co-manager.
JACKSONVILLE, FL — The surveillance system at a local department store did its job Wednesday.
A loss prevention officer at the Kohl’s store in Mandarin says he saw two people take things into the dressing room and emerge in a suspicious way.
By the time police got there, they knew the car they were looking for, and somebody was inside. He was detained by officers, who then waited for the two suspects to leave the store.
Melissia Ann McDonald, 19, came out first. The loss prevention officer in the store had seen her go into a dressing room with two GPS units. He says she came out of the dressing room, put the boxes under some clothes in a shopping cart, and left the store.
Police were waiting for her as she got to the car. They found the GPS units under her clothes, and some new shoes on her feet. She had not paid for any of the items.
She told police she stole all of the items to sell on the street.
Keven Smith, 27, came out next. The loss prevention officer had watched him follow a similar pattern, taking something into the dressing room and covering up the box upon his exit.
As he was walking toward the car, he saw the police officer. The officer didn’t find anything on Smith, but walked back to the spot from which Smith had spotted him, and found a digital camera.
The serial number on the camera matched the serial number on a box found under a pile of clothes in a shopping cart.
He says he didn’t go into the store with McDonald because he knows she’s a thief.
While the first person police found in the car was released, police arrested McDonald and Smith.

E Dundee IL
An assistant manager at Walmart in East Dundee tried to outwit the store’s video surveillance system but was caught trying to steal $1,500 from the store, according to police.
Jacqueline E. Vanovermeiren, 55, of the 4900 block of Butterfield Road in Hillside, was arrested and charged with felony theft, which typically carries a sentence of two to five years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines.

Vanovermeiren gave a written statement to police admitting the theft, police said. East Dundee Police Chief Terry Mee said his department learned of the theft when it was contacted by Walmart security.
Vanovermeiren asked to be represented by a public defender at a Wednesday morning bond hearing.
She will have to post $1,500 to be released. Vanovermeiren told a judge she would be able to post bond by the end of the day Wednesday.
Her next court date is set for June 16 at the Kane County courthouse.

Charged with retail theft and possession of stolen property were Katerina Mandryk, 44, and Yevgena Polyulyak, 46, both of 8632 N. Nordica, Chicago. Reports say the female suspects left the store without paying for $374 worth of clothing, and the suspects were also found in possession of $1,359.50 worth of clothing taken from other area department stores. No court date information was available.
Katherine Chelcun, 20, of 442 Sommerset, Grayslake, was charged May 26 with retail theft and possession of stolen property at JC Penney, 4 Hawthorn Center. Reports say the female suspect left store without paying for $134 worth of clothing and jewelry and was also found in possession of property that was stolen from Macy’s. She was released on $75 cash bond pending a June 15 court date in Mundelein.
PORTLAND, Ore. – Starting in approximately January, 2007, investigators with Macy’s started to note a loss of inventory in several specialty items. Investigators started to monitor these items and monitor eBay sites advertising these specialty items.
The sleuths say they were able to determine that large amounts of merchandise – similar to the merchandise being stolen from their stores – was being sold on eBay by a subject identified only as Louise Corbin.
During Macy’s investigation, they report being able to observe an adult female subject stealing several high end clothing items on several occasions, but where unable to make an arrest.
At least once, they were even able to see the suspect getting into a vehicle via surveillance cameras and were able to obtain a license plate. This was later used to help determine that the vehicle was registered to suspect Corbin.
In September 2007, Corbin was arrested at a Nordstrom Store in Portland, for shoplifting over $1,000.00 in high-end clothing items. She has since been found guilty of that theft.
Investigators say the arrest of Corbin at Nordstrom did not stop her from stealing. She reportedly continued to steal high-end merchandise at Macy’s. In October, 2008, Corbin was arrested for shoplifting at the Clackamas, Macy’s store.
The Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office became involved in the investigation and began working closely with investigators with Macy’s and Nordstrom. As a result, the Sheriff’s Office was able to obtain a search warrant for Corbin’s residence, in West Linn. During the execution of this search warrant, hundreds of suspected stolen clothing, accessories and jewelry items were seized as evidence.
Additional evidence seized included information that Corbin was selling stolen items on eBay under a business she called ‘Fifi’s Boutique’. Corbin was conducting her business out of her home in West Linn.
It is suspected that Corbin is responsible for over $150,000 loss to Macy’s and Nordstrom over the past year-and-a-half. All indications are that Corbin worked alone during this criminal activity.
The case was presented to the Clackamas County Grand Jury in May 2008, and an indictment for Louise Corbin was returned. She is charged with 17 counts of first-degree Theft, 3 counts of first-degree Theft by Receiving, 13 counts of Computer Crime,and one count of second-degree Theft.
An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday, 06-02-09, for Louise Marie Corbin; age 62. Corbin was arrested by Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office investigators on the newly issued warrants at her home on Woodsprite Court, in West Linn. She was lodged on the existing warrants today, with a total bail amount set at $100,000.
Louise Marie Corbin is scheduled for arraignment on these charges today, Tuesday, June 02, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. in the Clackamas County Circuit, in Oregon City.
It is also reported that Corbin was found guilty in 2008 in Multnomah County for shoplifting from Nordstrom (Theft I) and was placed on misdemeanor probation for that conviction.

Jaimie L. Dowler, 20, of 401 N. Western Ave., was arrested on a charge of theft Sunday, June 14, according to a sheriff’s report.
Dowler allegedly put some makeup and perfume in her purse while shopping at a store in the 2700 block of East Main Street around 1:30 p.m. Sunday, according to the report.
An employee stopped Dowler as she attempted to leave, and she said she had to go out to the parking lot to tell her mother she was in trouble and the employee kept her purse, according to the report.
The employee kept Dowler’s purse and later turned it over to the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
Dowler contacted the sheriff’s office and asked for her purse back because her keys were in it, according to the report.
When Dowler arrived at the sheriff’s office to get her purse, she was taken into custody, according to the report.
She was ordered into court.
