Five people indicted in ID theft operation www.privateofficer.com

Five people indicted in ID theft operation http://www.privateofficer.com
Rocky Mountain News
Denver CO. Nov 7 2008
Five people have been indicted in an ID theft operation in which they allegedly used bogus credit cards and bought methamphetamines with the cash they got after reselling purchased items, Aurora police announced Wednesday.
The Denver grand jury returned indictments last week against the five charging them with numerous counts, including violating the Colorado Organized Crime Control Act, theft, forgery, identity theft and conspiracy to commit computer crime, forgery, and theft.
The ring’s alleged leader, Shadwick Weaver, 35, was in custody in the Douglas County Jail when the indictment was handed down, police said. Weaver is facing 56 criminal counts and was being held on $500,000 bail.
Detectives from the police department’s economic crimes unit and a crime analyst began investigating the group in April after the found out that they may have been involved in a variety of white-collar crimes in Aurora and the north Denver metro area, detective Robert Friel, police spokesman, said.
The group members allegedly got hold of victims’ identities by burglarizing homes, breaking into cars and vehicle larceny, the detective said. The ring also possessed equipment that they used to manufacture documents such as counterfeit checks, credit cards, Social Security cards, drivers licenses, photo identities and employee badges. Detectives believe the group possessed about 300 such bogus documents, Friel said.
“We executed a search warrant and we believe we took away their tools that they were using to carry out the scheme,” the detective said.
In some cases, they would buy merchandise using the counterfeit checks or credit cards. The ring’s members would then resell the goods to make profit, which would then be used to buy methamphetamines, Friel said.
Detectives also think that some members would present a “temporary card” to a merchant to make purchases. However, the card would not have the magnetic stripe on the back of the card. Friel said that lack of special security features should let merchants know that the card is fake. Besides, he said, “temporary cards” do not exist.
“It’s a good warning for the business community; do not accept cards that are missing the traditional components of a credit or debit card,” Friel said.
The four others who were indicted and are in custody include James Bierce, 41; Carrie Robinson, 25; and Kelly Head, 35. Detectives continued to search for Levi Fairbanks, 25.

School violence leads to eight arrests http://www.privateofficer.com
Denver CO. April 20 2008

Police officers were dispatched to assist a security officer at a district school. Authorities say that a scuffle between students got out of hand and the security officer and a Denver police officer were injured and eight people were arrested.
GW Principal Steve Goldstein said Friday, “To the best of my knowledge, there never was a fight.”
Most students had already gone home by 4 p.m., but among those still on campus, a disagreement broke out, and “there was some posturing,” Goldstein said.
“A district security officer, for whatever reason, felt threatened and made an initial call for backup,” which quickly brought another security officer and police officers, Goldstein said.
“Some kids watching this whole thing transpire felt that the security officer and the police officer were in the wrong,” he said.
“So some of the kids made really poor choices. One of the kids tried to stop the police officer from doing what he was doing,” Goldstein said.
It was at this point the Denver officer requested more back up and another dozen officers responded to the school.
Friday was a teacher work day, so except for the 50 students helping plant some trees, there weren’t students around. So Goldstein hasn’t been able to quiz students about what happened.
“I’m sure the kids are going to say there was a police overreaction.
“Do we think there was an overreaction by police? No.
“Do I think the initial call may have been an overreaction? Possibly.”
Denver Police spokesman Sonny Jackson said injuries to the officer and a couple students were “very minor.”
He said a district school security officer tried to break up a fight, and that the first responding officer was assaulted. “We ended up arresting eight people — seven juveniles and one adult.”
The students who showed up for the tree-planting Friday had various reasons to be there — to fulfill community-service requirements, to make up for being tardy, because they like doing something positive for the school.
“We really do care,” said freshman Darren Gardner, digging a five-foot-diameter hole. “Yesterday was a bad moment.
“When you see things like that, you do things like this to make up for it. Because this is how we really like to be seen.”
Police and school officials will investigate what started the whole incident next week when class is back in session.
