CHINA GROVE NC July 13 2009 — A gunman robbed two employees of an armored car company Friday morning just north of town.
Employees of Loomis, a company that specializes in the transport of cash, were robbed at a Wachovia ATM in the 1500 block of North Main Street near Grove Supply Co. The incident happened about 10 a.m. There were no injuries and the thief fled on foot.
According to the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office, the Loomis employees were filling the ATM with money. The Loomis driver stayed inside the van while the passenger got out.
He was immediately approached by a dark-skinned man in his early-to-mid-20s who displayed a black handgun and told him to, “Give me the money.”
The employee gave the thief a blue bag containing cash. The robber turned and ran toward the nearby railroad tracks.
The thief is described as 5-foot-8 to 5-foot 11 wearing a blue shirt and blue jeans. He had another shirt that he used to cover his face. The thief may have escaped in a small, black four-door car, possibly a Ford Focus.
The amount of money taken in the heist wasn’t released.
“He was pretty well covered,” said Capt. John Sifford of the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office who traveled to the site not long after the robbery. “We’re having a hard time getting much of a description.”
A helicopter belonging to the N.C. Highway Patrol circled the area within minutes of the robbery. Deputies told employees of surrounding businesses to stay indoors because they were bringing in a police dog to aid in the search and didn’t want the animal confused by additional scents.
The ATM is in front of Grove Motor Co. The business was closed, but officers were trying to locate the owner to see if video cameras on power poles were operating at the time of the robbery.
Deputies were questioning one Loomis employee at the site not long after the robbery. The employee’s handgun could be seen, still holstered.
Sifford said the other employee, the van’s driver, was also being questioned.
Joe Bell and his father, Larry, operate Joe’s Auto Repair in a building behind Grove Motor Co. Joe Bell said he wasn’t aware of the robbery until a deputy came to the business and asked if he or his father had seen anything.
“I told him, ‘He didn’t go that way,’ ” Bell said, motioning south where a canine sat in a neighboring yard. “That dog didn’t go off barking like he does whenever anybody gets close.”
Bell said he figured the thief had a getaway car waiting on a nearby side road. “He’s probably long gone by now,” Bell surmised.
He said the irony of the robbery is that law-enforcement officers often park in front of Grove Motor Co. to stop speeders.
“It takes a lot of guts to do something like that in the middle of the day,” Bell said of Friday’s robbery.

Tinker AFB OKL July 13 2009
source: tinker news Some might say Mike Shults went beyond the call of duty June 24. Others might say he was simply doing his job. Ask the officer about the chain of events and he’ll likely say he just reacted.
Mr. Shults was guarding his post at the commercial vehicle inspection gate, just after 11 a.m., when he learned there was an unconscious woman just east of the commercial gate. Mr. Shults responded.
“Mike’s quick action proves that he embodies all the traits we need in a security forces member,” said Lt. Col. Lisette Childers, 72nd Security Forces Squadron commander. “He immediately took charge and handled the situation just as he would be ready to take charge in any security situation. He is a great representative of Team Tinker and we are lucky to have someone of his caliber in our unit.”
The incident began when a driver, from one of the two 18-wheeler commercial trucks waiting to be escorted on base, ran up to Mr. Shults at the gate-guard house. He said his friend’s wife was unresponsive in his truck.
“[My] partner, Jim Snider, called control over the radio and requested fire and [emergency medical services], while [I] ran to help the woman, Mr. Shults said.
The woman allegedly suffered a heart attack and fell out of the passenger seat to the floor. Despite several attempts to wake the 62-year-old woman, nothing worked. There was no pulse nor was she breathing.
“She was turning gray,” Mr. Shults said.
The security officer administered CPR and when Tinker Fire Department’s six-person crew arrived on the scene, Mr. Shults asked for and was given an AED.
“I think fire got there just in time, because early defibrillation is really the key to survival,” he said.
Mr. Shults, a firefighter/emergency medical technician basic with the fire department in Kingfisher, has been trained to use an AED since 2005, but said the June 24 incident was his first time using the device in an emergency.
“I was just trying to concentrate on my chest compressions,” Mr. Shults said, “and hoping we caught her in time. That’s all that was going through my mind.”
Mr. Shults continually tried to recover the woman’s heartbeat. The AED delivered one shock and Mr. Stults continued CPR as the machine reassessed her condition and advised “no shock,” which means she didn’t have a “shockable” rhythm.
Mr. Shults and personnel from the fire department carried the woman out of the truck to awaiting paramedics from Midwest Regional Medical Center. She was loaded onto a stretcher, placed into the ambulance where they were able to get a rhythm before transporting her to the hospital.
The whole scene lasted 26 minutes, said Neal Young, Tinker Fire Department assistant chief of special operations.
At Midwest Regional Medical Center, officials put a defibrillator in her. She went home June 30. As a result of the event, Mr. Shults said he’d like to see each gate and each patrol unit equipped with an AED.
“I know they’re expensive and you might not ever use it,” he said, “but it just takes one time.” Due to his actions, Col. Allen Jamerson, 72nd Air Base Wing commander, presented Mr. Shults with a 72nd ABW Wildcatter coin for outstanding service.
“Even though the gate guards seem confrontational at times because they have to check everyone’s identification cards, they are there and have the skills necessary to provide the first line of defense for this installation and they’re there to help the population,” said Capt. Robert Prausa, 72nd SFS Operations officer.

Park Forest, IL July 13 2009 Charges are pending against two men after police responded to a report of shots fired on Lester Street on Thursday, July 2.
Police were dispatched to the 100 block of Lester Street on July 2 shortly after 7:00 p.m. to investigate a report of a disturbance. While en route, SouthCom dispatch advised police that a male black subject wearing a red hat with a dark colored shirt was threatening another subject with a handgun and that shots had been fired. A security officer for the property located the offenders fleeing southbound on Lester Street and pursued the vehicle, assisted by Officer Morache. The security officer, Officer Darge, continued to call out his location as he followed the vehicle, heading East on Sauk Trail, passing Western Avenue toward South Chicago Heights.
Officer Darge related that the vehicle was traveling at approximately 90 mph.
Officer Morache caught up to the vehicle on Sauk Trail as it was approaching Chicago Road. As Officer Morache positioned his squad car behind the vehicle, the driver turned right into the Jewel parking lot and stopped.
Police took two men into custody.
According to witnesses at the scene, one of the men apprehended in the vehicle had exchanged words with a group of subjects standing near court H-12. The man had allegedly threatened to shoot the subjects, and produced a chrome-colored revolver which he allegedly pointed at the group of subjects, proceeding to pull the trigger several times causing the hammer to fall, making a clicking sound, according to police. The group of subjects laughed at him and began to walk in his direction. The man then allegedly pointed the revolver in the direction of the group of subjects and allegedly fired three rounds, according to police.
The man entered a car and fled the area at a high rate of speed, southbound on Lester Street, according to police.
Police recovered evidence from the vehicle. The incident has been turned over to the Detective Division for further investigation. Charges are pending.

Man jumps to death at local college www.privateofficer.com
July 13, 2009
Leave a comment
WHITTIER CA July 13 2009 – The man who jumped to his death from the Rio Hondo College library tower last month was identified as a Los Angeles man.
Ed Winter, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner, said Rodolfo Tejeda Rincon, 36, died from multiple traumatic injuries and his death was ruled as a suicide.
Sheriff’s Detective Louie Aguilera didn’t know why Rincon would head to Rio Hondo College the night of June 16. He isn’t aware of any ties between the Los Angeles man and the hillside college based in Whittier.
He said Rincon was reported missing by his father to the sheriff’s East Los Angeles Station on June 17.
The younger Rincon had a doctor’s appointment in Los Angeles the day before and was last seen about 1:40 p.m., Aguilera said. He didn’t know what the appointment was for.
Aguilera said Rincon was unemployed.
“He did suffer from depression,” the detective said.
Rincon’s family couldn’t be reached for comment on Friday.
On June 16, security guards making their rounds near the five-story library tower at Rio Hondo College heard a thump. A third guard then found Rincon lying on the ground.
Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene.
He wore a black trench coat, a T-shirt and sweatpants but carried no identification and no money. Detectives said his car was found in Monterey Park.
A deputy at the East L.A. station heard about the jumper at Rio Hondo and thought it was linked to their missing person, Aguilera said.
She called the department’s missing persons section.

Police charge three in murder of Fla couple www.privateofficer.com

PENSACOLA, Florida (CNN) July 13 2009 — Three suspects are in custody, including two who face murder charges, in what the local sheriff called a “multifaceted” investigation into the killings of a Gulf Coast couple known for adopting special-needs children.
Wayne Coldiron and Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Jr. are facing murder charges in the Thursday night shooting deaths of Byrd and Melanie Billings, said Sheriff David Morgan of Escambia County.
Coldiron, 41, surrendered to investigators Sunday and Gonzalez was arrested in neighboring Santa Rosa County on Sunday evening, Morgan said.
Gonzalez’s age was not immediately released.
The sheriff was in the middle of announcing Coldiron’s arrest to reporters when detectives informed him that Gonzalez was in custody. Watch sheriff learn of second arrest »
Morgan said the investigation has become “a window into something bigger,” with multiple motives and multiple suspects. But he released few details.
“I know this sounds like we’re talking in circles,” he told reporters earlier Sunday. “But at this point, we cannot release that information, because those circles have not been completed.”
In addition, Gonzalez’s father, Leonard Patrick Gonzalez Sr., 56, has been arrested on evidence-tampering charges.
The elder Gonzalez is accused of trying to disguise a red Dodge van that surveillance cameras captured leaving the slain couple’s home.
Investigators had distributed images of the van, and its discovery Saturday was “the linchpin in this case,” Morgan said. Gonzalez “was covering damage and painting the van … so that it would not be readily recognizable.”
The Billingses lived in Beulah, west of Pensacola, near the Alabama state line.
There were eight children, ranging in age from infancy to 11 years, in the home with them when they were killed.
The children were unharmed and were being cared for by relatives, authorities said.

Texas teacher arrested for having sex with teen www.privateofficer.com
July 13, 2009

FORT WORTH TX July 13 2009 — A former North Side High School teacher who recently resigned after being caught with a 16-year-old student in a park was arrested Friday night, accused of having sex with the boy.
Emily Elizabeth Housley, who turns 29 today, was arrested at her mother’s Saginaw home shortly before 8:30 p.m., police said.
Housley, who is married and has two children, was being booked into jail Friday night, police said. She faces a charge of sexual assault of a child.
Housley, a math teacher, and her student had started flirting and exchanging text messages early this year when he was still 15, Detective T.L. Howard said. By April, after the boy had turned 16, the relationship evolved into sexual encounters — the first occurring inside Housley’s classroom after school hours, Howard said.
The sexual encounters continued — at the school, in Housley’s car, at her mother’s home, and at Housley’s Saginaw home when her husband and children were away, Howard said. After school let out for the summer, he said, Housley met the teen at his Fort Worth house while he was alone.
“She was going to a teacher conference that was near his house, and she was going over there on her lunch breaks and having sex with him,” Howard said.
‘I love you’
The investigation began after a Fort Worth patrol officer happened upon Housley and the teen sitting inside a parked car in Sycamore Park shortly before midnight June 30.
The teen initially gave the officer a false date of birth and stated that he was 18 but eventually admitted his real birthday. The officer confirmed that the boy was 16, the officer’s report stated.
The teen was arrested on suspicion of failure to identify/giving false information and released to juvenile authorities.
Housley was issued a citation for allowing a minor to remain in a public place during curfew hours.
She later met with the Fort Worth school district’s Office of Special Investigations to discuss the incident, Howard said.
“She admitted to them sending text messages to [the teen] saying, ‘I love ” Howard said. “She admitted that she had gone to his house recently and you,’ had lunch with him one time when no one was there.”
The teacher subsequently resigned, he said.
The case was assigned to the crimes against children unit after the teen’s mother notified police Monday that her son had since confided in her that he and the teacher had been having sex.
Police searched Housley’s home Thursday, seizing her cellphone and computer, Howard said.
Housley, a graduate of Texas Christian University, had taught in the university’s Upward Bound summer program, which caters to students from middle and high schools in the Fort Worth district.
She was voted Upward Bound’s Teacher of the Year in 2004 and 2005, according to a small biography previously posted on the TCU Web site.
Barbara Griffith, a school district spokeswoman, said Housley had taught at North Side since January 2008

Nassau County NY July 13 2009
A Brooklyn woman was arrested at the Roosevelt Field Mall after she left three children — one of them 9 months old — unattended in her car for at least 25 minutes, Nassau County police said today.
A Brooklyn woman was arrested at the Roosevelt Field Mall after she left three children — one of them 9 months old — unattended in her car for at least 25 minutes, Nassau County police said today.
The woman, Nicola Daley, 37, was apparently shopping in the mall Saturday evening while the three girls — two were her children and the third, the daughter of a friend — were left alone in her car, police said. The car was not running at the time.
According to police, a mall security guard spotted the children — the 9-month-old, a 10-year-old and a 7-year-old — unattended in the car in the parking lot near Macy’s, and called the police. The guard kept an eye on the vehicle and told police the driver was gone for at least 25 minutes. At about 9:30 p.m., the driver returned to the car with a shopping bag.
Daley was arrested on three counts of endangering the welfare of a child, a misdemeanor that carries a punishment of up to one year in prison. The suspect’s two children were taken by their 22-year-old sister and the 7-year-old, who was not related to the suspect, was released into the custody of her mother.
Daley is scheduled to be arraigned today at the First District Court in Hempstead.
