SUMTER, SC July 31 2009 (WIS) – A former Sumter County sheriff’s deputy has been arrested and charged with having sexual intercourse with a 14-year-old girl.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division says 26-year-old Michael Boulware stands charged with second degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
“To know that it’s a brother of the law enforcement that I work with around our community and county, very surprising, devastating, and I’m very upset about it.”
Falls says his oldest daughter, just 14 years old, drank alcohol with Michael Boulware. But Thursday, Falls found out a different 14-year-old girl did a little more — she had sex with Boulware.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division says 26-year-old Michael Boulware stands charged with second degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
“To know that it’s a brother of the law enforcement that I work with around our community and county, very surprising, devastating, and I’m very upset about it.”
Falls says his oldest daughter, just 14 years old, drank alcohol with Michael Boulware. But Thursday, Falls found out a different 14-year-old girl did a little more — she had sex with Boulware.
Now Boulware’s charges aren’t just about giving alcohol to minors; they’ve been upgraded to a felony.
“I just asked her to be open and honest with the investigators, then we’ll go from there,” Falls said.
Falls, especially being in law enforcement himself, never thought his daughter would be involved in something like this.
“We keep a close hand with our kids and you think you know them in and out,” he said. “You still need to check up on them a little more.”
For Falls and for Boulware’s neighbors, who also have young kids, the arrest is a relief.
“We have enough on the streets to worry about, keeping kids out of trouble, and we have a brother in law enforcement ruining it all for us,” Falls said.
Falls says Michael Boulware was a family friend, and that’s how he got to know the girls.
Boulware is scheduled to be in bond court at 3:30pm Friday. If convicted of the latest charge, he could face up to 20 years in prison.

Police say what started out as a shoplifting incident at store in Pineville escalated into a police pursuit and a home invasion with three small children inside alone.
The three men loaded a flat screen television into their car at the BJ’s Warehouse in Pineville without paying for it. As they fled, several store employees tried stopping them and police were called.
Officers followed their vehicle up Interstate 77 and to a neighborhood off Arrowood Road. Police say the men then ditched the car and broke into a house to hide from officers.
From there, the men took off on foot and was later tracked down by police
Rashaan Brown, Larrington Wilson and Duane Jackson have been arrested on a laundry list of charges including felony theft, home invasion, breaking and entering, possession of stolen goods, multiple driving offenses and other charges are pending.
The stolen flat screen TV was recovered from the vehicle, along with other items confirmed to have been stolen from a K-Mart store in Charlotte earlier in the day.

Lakewood WA July 31 2009
The man accused of fatally shooting a Loomis armored-car guard during a robbery at a Lakewood Wal-Mart in June pleaded guilty this morning to aggravated first-degree murder, first-degree robbery, assault and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Calvin Finley, 35, was accused of killing Kurt Husted on June 2. He agreed to plead guilty to avoid facing the death penalty, according to Mark Lindquist, chief criminal deputy for the Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office.
Prosecutors have already said they would not seek the death penalty against three co-defendants who have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
The co-defendants — Marshawn A. Turpin, 20; Odies D. Walker, 41; and Tonie Marie Williams-Irby, 42 — are also charged with robbery and aggravated first-degree murder, the only charge in Washington punishable by death.
If convicted as charged, they will face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors had until Friday to decide whether to seek the death penalty against Finley.
According to police and prosecutors, Williams-Irby was a floor manager at Wal-Mart who planned the robbery with Walker, her boyfriend, and then recruited Finley and Turpin.

Joshua Rodriguez was keeping more than feet in his shoes recently.
According to an arrest warrant, the 23-year-old was stuffing his footwear with thousands of dollars worth of stolen jewelry.
According to property crimes detectives, Rodriguez was stopped by a security guard at United Parcel Service’s northeast-side warehouse on July 22. Rodriguez is a UPS employee.
Rodriguez was in line, waiting to enter the warehouse as security guards were conducting a random shoe check at the UPS facility. According to the police report, Rodriguez attempted to get out of line when he saw the random search, but guards asked him to stay in line and proceed through the security checkpoint.
The guard reportedly found 16 small bags of jewelry hidden in Rodriguez’s shoes, including gold rings, wedding rings and chains. Some individual items of jewelry were worth $4,000.
The warrant said the items were being shipped to the Kay Jewelers store at the Shops of La Cantera. Police said Rodriguez got his hands on the package en route.
UPS took the stolen property and contacted SAPD to file a police report. They told police Rodriguez was suspected in other thefts, too.
Police arrested Rodriguez on theft charges Wednesday.
He was booked into the Bexar County Detention Center on a $10,000 bond.

Man arrested twice for having sex with horse www.privateofficer.com

Conway SC July 31 2009
A Conway, S.C., woman who had video surveillance of a man having sexual intercourse with one of her horses said she found the suspect behind her barn Monday night and pointed a shotgun at his head until police arrived and arrested him.
Rodell Vereen, 50, of Longs, is charged with buggery and trespassing after Barbara Kenley, who owns Lazy B Stables on Coates Road in the Wampee section of Horry County, told officers she had video of the suspect having sex with a horse then wanted to catch him at her barn.
“That stable was my getaway, my stress relief,” said Kenley, who has owned the stable for 20 years. “Everybody has a place they like to go to get away. Now it is totally destroyed. It is the only thing I have in life.”
A family member said Wednesday that Vereen was diagnosed with a “mental disease” more than 10 years ago.
“He’s supposed to be on medication but I don’t believe he’s been taking it,” said Beulah Vereen, also a neighbor. “He’s not a violent man, I know.”
It is the second time Vereen, who works for a landscaping company, has been charged with having sex with a horse at Lazy B Stables. Vereen pleaded guilty to buggery on July 21, 2008 and was sentenced to three years probation, ordered to undergo mental health counseling, and told not to go near Lazy B Stables after he was caught having sex with a horse on Thanksgiving Day of 2007, according to the 15th Judicial Circuit.
Vereen has also been registered as a sex offender since pleading to the buggery charge last year, according to the State Law Enforcement Division.
“I have a false sense of security right now,” Kenley said. “When they arrested him before I thought that was the end of it. Now all of my insecurities are back. I can’t go out there at certain times because I am afraid.”
Vereen will have a probation hearing at 9 a.m. Monday at J. Reuben Long Detention Center in Conway, according to Richard Laskill, a senior agent for the S.C. Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services.
A judge will likely determine if Vereen will serve the remainder of his three-year suspended sentence for the 2007 buggery charge.
“Hopefully he won’t get out,” Kenley said. “My goal is to get him away from me and my property.”
Kenley, who lives four miles away from the stable, said she can’t afford a security system for the stables. She said she spent several hundred dollars on the video surveillance system that was used to help identify Vereen.
“In 20 years I’ve never had a problem like this,” Kenley said. “I never knew people did such a thing.”
Kenley said Vereen was having sex with a 21-year-old horse named Sugar. Kenley said the horse is being treated for infections related to the incidents.
Kenley told officers she had video of Vereen “having relations” with one of her horses on July 19, according to a police report. “I had given police surveillance video before and they weren’t able to identify him,” Kenley said. “And I wanted to catch him firsthand. It was just a matter of time before I caught him.”
On Monday night, Kenley said she went to check on the horses and saw an unknown vehicle parked near her property.
Kenley found Vereen behind a barn where the horses are kept and pointed a shotgun at him. Kenley called police on her cell phone and waited for officers to arrive.
“He was very subdued,” Kenley said. “He was like … cold. He may have been in shock.”
Kenley said she asked Vereen what he was doing at the barn and that he said he was looking for a bathroom.
“I told him he was full of crap,” Kenley said. “He apologized and said he didn’t mean to hurt me.”
Vereen admitted to officers that he did have “relations” with a horse on July 19, the report shows. Officers reported that they viewed a video showing the suspect having intercourse with a horse.
Bail was set at $10,000 for Vereen, who is being held at J. Reuben Long Detention Center

Federal security considers knitting needles “dangerous weapons” www.privateofficer.com

Dallas TX July 31 2009
A North Texas woman is asked to leave a Balch Springs Social Security office after a guard accused her of carrying dangerous weapons: her knitting needles
The armed guard came up to me and said I have to take that outside,” said Rachel Vines.
Vines said the only thing she was trying to kill inside the waiting room was time.
“I wasn’t shoving them in people’s faces going, ‘look I have sharp pointy things,’” she said. “I was sitting there minding my own business trying to knit a sock.”
Apparently the Officer determined the five-inch knitting needles were a threat to the safety and security of those inside the building. The Federal Protective Service oversees security inside the building and would not answer questions about the incident, but it did email NBCDFW this statement:

“The Federal Protective Service (FPS) is responsible for keeping federal properties safe and secure for both employees and visitors. If an FPS guard determines that an object carried by a visitor could present a safety risk or be used by another person as a weapon, they may be asked to remove it from the building.”
People in the waiting room used words like “ridiculous” and “outrageous” when referring to the guards move to make Vines remove the needles.
Vines did put her yarn and knitting tools in the car but said she’s still flabbergasted by the whole ordeal.
“I cant even fathom what he was thinking,” she said. “That I was going to harm someone by knitting? I just don’t get it.”

MS. teacher arrested in internet sting www.privateofficer.com

Pensacola Fla July 31 2009
A middle school teacher from Meridian, Miss., was arrested Thursday afternoon after he drove to Pensacola thinking he was going to have sex with a 15-year-old female.
In reality, the suspect, Clifford Holloway, 56, of 7759 Lizalia Road, Meridian, Miss., had set up a meeting with an undercover police officer who had been communicating with him since mid-June on MySpace, a news release from the Pensacola Police Department said.
Holloway has been charged with two counts of sexual assault on a child 16 years or older, two counts of transmitting pornography to a minor and one count of traveling to have sex with a minor. Additional charges are pending.
The suspect is a science and physical education teacher at Northeast Middle School in Meridian, Miss. He has been a teacher in the Lauderdale, Miss., County School District for 28 years.
Holloway was arrested around 3:30 p.m. Thursday after a member of the Northwest Florida Child Pornography Task Force saw him driving in the area of Palafox and Cervantes streets. Pensacola Police Officer Chris Wilkinson said Holloway drove to Pensacola on Thursday and arrived here around noon planning to meet a 15-year-old female at a local motel around 2:20 p.m. and have sex with her.
Detective Tarlanda Gooden began investigating Holloway after Capt. Paul Kelly received a telephone call on June 15 from a concerned Pensacola mother who said her 16-year-old daughter had been communicating with a 56-year-old man via MySpace on the computer. The mother learned of their communications after checking her daughter’s MySpace page. The victim told Gooden she had had sex twice with Holloway in March at a Pensacola motel.
Wilkinson began communicating with Holloway via MySpace on June 27 as part of an undercover investigation where he pretended to be a 15-year-old female. Wilkinson said he and Holloway communicated with each other almost daily on the computer, and that a few weeks after they began talking, the suspect asked about them meeting in Pensacola.
In both investigations, Holloway transmitted nude photographs of himself over the computer to the 16-year-old victim and to Wilkinson. He also asked both victims for nude photographs of themselves; Gooden said the 16-year-old victim complied.
As part of the on-going investigation, Wilkinson will do a forensic analysis of Holloway’s computer and cell phone to determine if he has been in contact with other minors.
Officers with the Pensacola Police Department, Escambia and Santa Rosa sheriff’s offices, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and State Attorney General’s CyberCrimes Unit participated in Thursday’s arrest.
Wilkinson said Holloway used the screen names MySpace.com/Golfcoach18 and Golfcoach18@Yahoo.com.
Any teen-agers who may have been in contact with Holloway or knows someone who has had contact with Holloway is asked to contact Detective Tarlanda Gooden at 435 – 1972.
