NY court rejects mall shooting security complaints www.privateofficer.com

 

ALBANY, N.Y. June 14 2013 AP— A midlevel New York court has rejected lawsuits by shooting victims who claimed an upstate shopping mall didn’t provide sufficient security to protect them from a man’s nine-minute shooting rampage with a semi-automatic rifle.
The Appellate Division panel upheld dismissal of negligence claims against The Pyramid Companies and others, concluding the 2005 attack by Robert Bonelli Jr. was unforeseeable. He opened fire and injured two people in the Hudson Valley Mall in Ulster, 55 miles south of Albany.
The justices say landowners have a duty to secure their premises from foreseeable harm, but the mall’s history involved lesser incidents of larceny, disorderly conduct, trespassing, robbery and fights.
Justice Karen Peters, writing separately, agrees but notes mall security that day, with one guard, was “frighteningly inadequate.”
Bonelli is serving a 32-year prison sentence.

Security guard arrested after allegedly firing at man trying to escape assault www.privateofficer.com

New Orleans LA June 13 2013 A woman claiming to be a private security guard was arrested Sunday and booked with attempted murder after she allegedly fired a shot at a man attempting to escape from an assault in the 7th Ward Saturday night. New Orleans police said Charlene Wilson, 42, fired a gun at a man who had already been shot at eight times by another person.
According to police reports, the victim was walking in the 2500 block of Pauger Street when he was jumped. While he was fighting with his attacker, another man, said by police to be 23-year-old Joshua Joseph, appeared at the corner of Pauger and North Derbigny Street and began shooting.
Police said Joseph fired eight shots in all. He was also arrested Sunday and booked with attempted second-degree murder. His bail was set at $215,000.
In the arrest report, the victim stated that as he tried to escape the scene, he saw both of his male attackers flee northbound and enter an apartment on the corner of Pauger and North Roman Street. It was then that Wilson allegedly came out of that building and fired a shot.
The victim identified Joseph in a lineup as the man who fired the weapon from the corner of Pauger and North Derbigny.
While police were questioning Joseph on Sunday morning, Wilson emerged from the same residence, allegedly still wearing the same red shirt as the day before.
According to police, Wilson said she admitted to firing the gun when she saw her daughter fighting with unknown people. She also told police that as a security guard she was trained not to fire her weapon and that she “knew better.”
A search of Joseph’s car uncovered a 7.62×39-caliber assault rifle containing 26 rounds of ammunition, police said. Joseph is a previously convicted felon and is on probation for cocaine possession.
Wilson, who had a forgery charge expunged from her record in 1999, was booked with attempted second-degree murder and illegal use of a firearm. Her bail was set at $160,000.

Man gets 10 year prison sentnence in Chicago armored car robbery www.privateofficer.com

 

Chicago IL June 12 2013 Adrian Jackson had been in and out of prison by the time he approached an armored truck outside ShoreBank in Chicago in October 2006 and stole two bags filled with cash as an accomplice held a gun to the guard.
Prosecutors said Jackson, his accomplice and a third person who acted as a lookout made off with $275,000.
On Monday, nearly seven years later, Jackson was sentenced to 10 years in prison by a federal judge who said it was fortunate that the holdup didn’t end in violence.
“This amounts to making a bet on you,” said U.S. District Judge Milton Shadur, who went below the minimum 121/2-year prison term called for by federal sentencing guidelines. “You have the opportunity to turn your life around, and that’s totally up to you.”
According to Jackson’s lawyer, Gregory Mitchell, the career offender’s rap sheet is the result of his decades-old heroin habit.
Jackson will be required to participate in drug treatment while in prison. Once he’s released he will be subjected to random drug tests.
Shadur also ordered Jackson to pay 10 percent of his monthly salary in restitution if he gets a job after his release from prison.
“It makes me feel wasted to not have accomplished anything but a criminal background,” Jackson, now 41, told the judge before his sentence was imposed. “I also realize that drugs have ruined my life, and I can never use them again.”
The holdup was meticulously planned over a period of months, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Stephen Lee. Jackson and the two accomplices visited the bank several times before threatening and disarming the armored truck guard and then making off with the bags of cash.
The lookout was never captured, but the other accomplice, Willie Ray Jefferson, was sentenced in 2010 to 141/2 years in prison.
Jackson, who grew up in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood, joined a gang at age 14, dropped out of high school at 16, soon became hooked on heroin and began to get in trouble with the law, according to Mitchell.
His record includes drug convictions dating to 1989, a murder conviction in 1994 and armed robbery, drug and weapons convictions over the past 12 years.
“Again, there’s no crystal ball,” Mitchell told the judge. “… (But) if he has the opportunity to get the treatment he needs … I think he’s a good candidate (for rehabilitation).”

Redding PA June 11 2013 A 26-year-old Redding man was arrested Sunday night after police said he stabbed a security guard in the Safeway parking lot on East Cypress Avenue in Redding.

Police apprehended Alexander Restuchi in the 1100 block of Bond Street after he fled the area soon after the stabbing occurred around 6:50 p.m., Sgt. Eric Niver said.

Restuchi was taken into custody around 9:30 p.m. Sunday Jesse Fisher, a Safeway loss prevention officer, was allegedly stabbed in the stomach by Restuchi with a 4-inch knife, Niver said.

Fisher, 53, suffered about a 3-inch cut but refused medical attention. Fisher followed Restuchi outside the store and into the parking lot after Restuchi stole tampons and a soda, Niver said. Restuchi was arrested on suspicion of armed robbery and assault with a deadly weapon.

Police were able to find Restuchi on Bond Street because he had had prior contacts with law enforcement at the address, Niver said. Restuchi also left some personal identification behind in the Safeway parking lot that helped officers track him to the Bond Street address, Niver said.

Palm Springs man arrested on suspicion of shooting security guard www.privateofficer.com

 

CATHEDRAL CITY CA June 5 2013— Police have arrested a Palm Springs man on suspicion of shooting a security guard nearly a year ago.
Ezequiel Radino Lopez, 29, was arrested on the 2600 block of S. Linden Way in Palm Springs on Tuesday, according to Cathedral City police Detective Sgt. Paul Herrera.

On July 14, 2012, the part-time security guard, whose name was not released, approached a man drinking in public at a commercial complex at 32220 Rancho Vista in Cathedral City and asked him to leave, police said. The man refused, a verbal exchange ensued and the man shot the unarmed security guard in the chest.
The two struggled for the pistol and the guard was shot three more times. The shooter ran off as police and paramedics arrived.
The guard was taken to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, where he underwent surgery and spent a significant amount of time recovering from gunshot wounds to the chest, upper abdomen and leg, police said.
“During this period of time we did not have enough significant information to make an arrest or to identify a subject,” Herrera said.
But a recent tip, along with a positive witness identification and physical evidence led to Lopez’s arrest.
Lopez was recently placed on AB 109 probation after being released from state prison on January 2012, according to Herrera.
The state Legislature approved AB 109 — also known as realignment — in March 2011.
It aimed to cut the state’s budget gap and and to satisfy a U.S. Supreme Court mandate to reduce the prison population.
Lopez is being held at the Riverside County Jail in Indio on $1 million bail.

Florida nightclub guard killed three co-workers after being pranked www.privateofficer.com

OCALA FLA June 4 2013

A bouncer at a Florida nightclub shot and killed three other bouncers early Sunday morning after being humiliated by a video prank, according to police.

Andrew Joseph Lobban, 31, was held without bond on three felony counts of first-degree murder after he admitted having shot the three men shortly after midnight at AJ’s Bar, part of the Ocala Entertainment Complex in Ocala, about 50 miles south of Gainesville, authorities said. He was arrested about noon at his girlfriend’s residence.

All of the victims worked with Lobban as bouncers at the complex. One died at the scene; the two others died at the hospital.

According to an Ocala police statement, Lobban said he shot the men — identified as Benjamin Larz Howard, 23; Jerry Lamar Bynes Jr., 20; and Josue Santiago, 25 — because they were laughing and teasing him over an embarrassing video of Lobban that one of the victims had recorded and shared with the others.

The police statement didn’t say what was on the video, but Ocala police Sgt. Angy Scroble said it showed Lobban misfiring his gun at a shooting range.

“He just kept harping on that” while being questioned, Scroble said. “It really bothered him.”

“They put it on Facebook, and that’s why he got mad,” Santiago’s mother, Maria, told NBC station WESH of Orlando.

The man  never showed the weapon or threatened anyone else, but he was carrying a  .380-caliber semi-automatic pistol in his pocket. He surrendered the pistol to hospital security officers without incident  before police arrived. The incident occurred just before 2 p.m. in the hospital’s pain clinic. Capt. John Rogers said no charges were filed because the man did not  threaten or injure anyone and never showed the weapon. He was given a  psychological evaluation after the incident and Marshfield police were notified  and expected to consider revoking the man’s license to carry a weapon.

Security officer shoots driver outside marijuana dispensary www.privateofficer.com

Riverside CA May 19 2013 An altercation outside a marijuana dispensary targeted for closure by the city of Riverside left a driver with a bullet in his neck Friday, May 17, and a security guard injured after being struck by the SUV.

Both unidentified men were taken to Riverside Community Hospital, police Sgt. Dan Russell said. Their conditions were not immediately available.

About 3:30 p.m., the guard, who Russell said works for Inland Empire Cannabis Club, and the driver of a black GMC got into some type of altercation in the rear of the parking lot at 7580 Indiana Ave. The disturbance then moved toward the front. It was then that the SUV struck the guard, and the guard responded by firing a single gunshot through the windshield, striking the driver in the neck.

Police arrived to find the guard on the ground and the driver still inside the SUV, Russell said. The guard’s belt, gun and Taser lay on the asphalt, and a pair of shoes sat outside the SUV as detectives interviewed witnesses and photographed evidence.

The dispensary is one of 10 that City Attorney Greg Priamos vowed this week to shut down after the state Supreme Court ruled May 6 that local governments can ban the dispensaries. The city’s ordinance came in response to complaints about crime near clinics such as armed robberies, sales of marijuana to minors and people driving under the influence of marijuana.

“A serious incident such as this and the ongoing public safety risks associated with these illegal enterprises continues to validate the city’s ban,” Priamos wrote in an email Friday night.

Advocates of medicinal marijuana say the dispensaries provide a legitimate medical service, rent retail space that might otherwise remain vacant and often provide security guards who deter crime.

The Inland Empire Cannabis Club website lists 33 products, and many of the 60 reviews on the website praise the quality of the marijuana and the professionalism and friendliness of the employees. No one there answered the phone Friday afternoon. Police turned away several people attempting to walk to that area of the cluster of businesses.

The other shops in the small center across the street from Malcolm Smith Motorsports are Redline Choppers, Home Made Sandwiches Deli, Indiana Liquor and Market and Beauty and Barber Musica Latina. Employees of the shops were stuck inside the yellow crime scene tape until some were escorted out. Others had to wait until police interviewed them.

Yuba County Walmart shoplifting suspect nabbed after rock attack www.privateofficer.com

Yuba County CA May 18 2013 A Marysville woman punched a Walmart security agent in the face before pelting him with numerous rocks on Thursday as she tried to get away with lotions and body spray stuffed in her purse, Yuba County deputies said.
An apparent getaway car abandoned Evalee Havanna Hawkins as she left the store in the 1100 block of North Beale Road just before 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, said Undersheriff Jerry Read.
“The loss-prevention officer was taking pictures of the vehicle, and the driver apparently decided he didn’t want any part of what was going on and left,” Read said.
Hawkins then tried to get into another vehicle, which also drove off, leaving her alone with the security guard, who asked the woman to return the lotions.
“Then she punches him in the chin and tries to walk away,” Read said.
Several more guards stepped in as Hawkins began striking the same guard with multiple rocks.
The guard was not seriously injured.
Sheriff’s deputies detained Hawkins, who was booked into the Yuba County Jail on $50,000 bail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and robbery. She was still in custody Thursday.
