Security officer handcuffed to pole by Islam group www.privateofficer.com

San Francisco CA March 11 2010 The flap won’t die down over an armed security guard working for Lennar Corp. who was handcuffed to a light pole after being kicked out of a community meeting about the developer’s project to remake the former Hunters Point naval shipyard.

Supervisor Chris Daly on Tuesday introduced a resolution calling for Lennar to formally apologize to a group dedicated to stopping the joint project with the city for “irresponsible and potentially dangerous behavior” over the security guard incident.

Daly said he was “horrified” Lennar sent an armed security guard to a community meeting in a mosque.
The group, known as the Stop Lennar Action Movement, includes members of the Nation of Islam and had organized the meeting at the Nation of Islam mosque on Third Street in February. They contend the shipyard project is kicking up toxic dust, although a draft EPA report on the issue said effective safeguards are in place.

The security guard told investigators that men from the mosque held him against his will for about 45 minutes, including throwing him against a wall, handcuffing him to a light pole and calling him “you white mother f-,” according to the police report.

Daly, who was not at the meeting, took issue with that description, saying, “the events as described are not the events that seemed to have happened that have been corroborated by multiple folks.”

The police report, though, says the security guard, a retired police sergeant with a permit for carrying a concealed weapon, told investigators he “was in fear for his life.”

Tuesday’s developments come a week after Daly praised the Nation of Islam for “showing some restraint” when its personnel hauled the security guard away while he tried to record the meeting.

“This was a tinderbox situation,” Daly said at last week’s board meeting. “A law might not have been violated, but this is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. Thank goodness it only ended up with him only handcuffed to a pole for an hour. This is the best outcome I can think of. So thank you to the Nation of Islam for showing some restraint.”

Nation of Islam personnel wanted the guard arrested for trespassing, but officer declined, noting the meeting was “open to the public and anyone in the community was invited to attend,” the police report said.

Man gets 18 years prison for assault on security officer www.privateofficer.com

FAIRBANKS AK. Jan 25 2010 — A 24-year-old Nevada man who beat up a security guard in the parking garage of the federal courthouse and took the guard’s gun, holding him at gunpoint before fleeing, was sentenced to more than 18 years in prison on Friday.

Saying he heard no evidence that Jarrid Bloom wanted to change his ways, U.S. District Court judge Ralph Beistline sentenced Bloom to 18 years and four months in federal prison.

“You have never made a wise choice in your life,” Beistline said, chastising Bloom during Friday’s sentencing hearing. “You were destined to be shot, beat up or incarcerated.”

The judge called Bloom a “petty thief” who has spent five of his six adult years behind bars. Bloom had been out of jail only 21 days when he was caught by security guard Louis Maloney breaking into cars in the parking garage at the federal courthouse on July 7.

“If you had just said, ‘Oh, you’ve got me’ and walked out with the security guard you’d probably be out of jail by now,” Beistline said. “You escalated it at every point along the way, and now you’re facing decades in jail.”

Bloom, who had been in Alaska for only eight days after moving to Fairbanks from Reno, Nev., started a fight with Maloney after the security guard found a small tinfoil cube of marijuana on him during a search. Bloom punched Maloney a half dozen times in the face, breaking his eye socket, before wrestling the guard’s gun away. Holding Maloney at gunpoint, Bloom took the guard’s baton and wallet before pointing the gun at a car and shooting the tire. He ordered Maloney to wait 40 seconds before doing anything and fled on a bike.

Fairbanks police caught Bloom on his bike outside the courthouse. He had Maloney’s baton and wallet, and the gun was located nearby.

Bloom pleaded guilty in October and struck a plea deal with the state.

Bloom received 10 years for using a handgun during a violent crime and the rest of the time for assaulting a law enforcement officer. He also was ordered to pay $10,500 in restitution to Maloney and will face five years of probation when he gets out of prison. Three other felony charges were dropped as part of the plea agreement.

Maloney, who underwent surgery in August to repair his eye socket, spoke at Friday’s sentencing hearing. He said he thought Bloom was going to kill him.

“I figured death was imminent,” Maloney told Beistline. “My biggest fear was what he would do with my duty weapon to someone else.”

Maloney, who is undergoing physical therapy as a result of injuries to his shoulder suffered in the fight, said the incident with Bloom continues to haunt him. He still has a hard time sleeping, breaks out in cold sweats and is “always on guard.”

Addressing Bloom, he told the 24-year-old to “count his blessings.”

“If this had happened on my property or in my house, the outcome would have been very different,” Maloney told Bloom.

Maloney, who works full time for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, was working as a part-time security guard at the time of the incident. He said he missed a month of work at his regular job and hasn’t been cleared to go back to work as a security guard yet, forcing his wife to take a part-time job in addition to her full-time job.

Bloom, dressed in orange prison garb, apologized to Maloney and said what he did “was the worst decision of my life.” He couldn’t explain why he made that decision.

“I don’t know what happened,” he said, dabbing tears from his eyes with a Kleenex. “I can’t explain a motive. I went crazy.”

Bloom’s attorney, federal public defender M.J. Hayden, asked for a prison term of 15 years, noting that Bloom had a lengthy criminal record but was not prone to violence. Bloom previously was convicted of felony counts of grand theft auto and possession of a stolen vehicle in Nevada.

“He doesn’t have a history of violence,” she said. “This was a horrific offense, but it was not something he planned. It was a case of unfortunate circumstances that pulled together all at the same time.”

U.S. Assistant District Attorney Stephen Cooper recommended a sentence of more than 20 years, citing his “extensive” criminal history, which began when he was 13 years old.

“We’re dealing with somebody who is recidivist on a grand scale, and he’s only 24 years old,” Cooper said.

Bloom will serve his time in a federal penitentiary in Nevada.

Police responded to a local bank to assist a security officer trying to detain a woman they say attempted to cash a fraudulent check.

Officers arrived and are now looking for two people who according to a bank employee, tried to pass a fraudulent check and injured a security officer during their escape.
Police Capt. Steve McCool said officers responded to UNB Bank on S Agnew at the Stockyards, but that the suspects had already fled in a white Pontiac Sunfire.
Police said an unknown woman described only as Hispanic tried to cash a fraudulent check Tuesday.

When the guard, who was a retired Oklahoma City police officer, attempted to stop her, she jumped into the back of a getaway car.

The guard then opened the driver’s door, but the driver put the car in reverse and knocked the officer down, causing minor injuries, McCool said.
Police are looking at bank surveillance and have a photo of the suspect.
Anyone with information about the crime, the identity of the woman or driver is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 235-7300.

Shoplifters run down mall security, lead police on chase www.privateofficer.com

Shoplifters run down mall security, lead police on chase http://www.privateofficer.com

HOLYOKE MA Dec 6 2008
masslive.com – Two women were in custody Friday night for larceny and motor vehicle charges after leading Holyoke and state police on a chase from the Holyoke Mall where they shoplifted thousands of dollars worth of underwear, police said.
Their getaway van caused six separate car accidents just after 4 p.m. in the mall parking lot, including one involving a Holyoke police officer. Another involved running down a mall security guard who got in the way, said Sgt. Isaia Cruz.
Holyoke Police Sgt. Manuel Febo suffered minor injuries to his head, legs and arms in the crash, Cruz said. The security guard was not seriously hurt, he said.
State police managed to stop the van in West Springfield on Park Street near the rotary by the North End Bridge.
A third woman who was in the van escaped on foot. She remained at large Friday night.
The two women in custody were identified as Andriana Borja, 35, and Paola Rios, 33.
Cruz said they were being held on $20,000 cash bail pending their arraignments Monday in Springfield District Court.
The high bail is the result of police having problems confirming their place of residence and the women refusing to cooperate, he said.
Cruz said their van had Florida plates, but the woman told officers at different times they were from Queens, N.Y., Florida, Puerto Rico, Columbia and Argentina, he said.
Each was charged with larceny in excess of $250 and giving a false name to a police officer.
Rios, the driver, was also charged with six counts of leaving the scene of a property damage accident, and single counts of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, a van, assault with a dangerous weapon, a van, unlicensed operation and driving to endanger.
The women went from store to store shoplifting bras and panties until mall security spotted them, Cruz said.
The total amount of the stolen merchandise was estimated at “a few thousand dollars,” Cruz said.

Security officer attacked, injured during Ski-Day event www.privateofficer.com

Security officer attacked during Ski-Day event http://www.privateofficer.com

Evansville IN Aug 16 2008

By: Rick McCann

Ntl. Assoc. Private Officers

http://www.privateofficer.com/
Ski-Day on the Ohio is a huge yearly event that draws the river rats down to the river for one more big day of fun on the river before everyone heads back to school.

According to its promos, this was their 30th anniversary holding the boating party on the Ohio River. Policed by numerous local and state agencies, it’s usually mild and although we get some alcohol violations, it’s managable said a state officer.
But for one private security officer it turned out to be more than he bargained for according to police.

He was on one of the islands in the river near a stage when he asked several men to get away from the area.

That’s when David Mullen said they attacked him and beat him with a two-by-four leaving him with a broken jaw and other injuries.
Now the Henderson sheriff’s department is asking witnesses to come forward. Mullen has worked security for the event for the past four years, and has always enjoyed it–but this year, things took a turn for the worse
Four hours after the attack Mullen said that he was able to get off the island and to a hospital. His jaw had to be wired shut, and will remain that way for about 3 months. Mullen has worked security for Ski Day for four years, and has never experienced any problems until now. He says he was the sole security officer on the island Saturday night, and feels security needs beefing up. The Henderson Sheriff’s Department is now investigating the incident, and ask anyone with information about the alleged assailants to come forward.

The suspects are described as 2 white males between the age of 18 and 21. One is about 5’6 and weighs 200 lbs. He has brown hair and was wearing yellow shorts. The other also has brown hair and was wearing blue shorts.

Fleeing shoplifter hits security officer with car www.privateofficer.com

Jacksonville FLA. Aug 10 2008
A woman with a specially rigged shopping bag got away with an undetermined number of items Sunday from The Body Shop at The Avenues mall at 10300 Southside Blvd.
In the process of escaping, the woman’s vehicle hit a security guard and just missed another when she and another woman drove off, police said.
Police said a security officer got a call from The Body Shop around 3:45 p.m., saying a woman was in the store with a “booster bag” – a shopping bag lined with aluminum foil to shield clothing tagged with magnetic security buttons from setting off shoplifting monitoring systems. He saw the woman carrying a shopping bag full of items and walking with another woman, and followed them out into the parking lot.
The pair got into a red Ford sport utility vehicle with two others inside as the guard was joined by an off-duty Florida Fish and Wildlife officer working security at the mall. The state officer yelled at the women to stop as the Ford backed up then started toward him. But after stopping briefly, the Ford accelerated, its right front hitting the mall security guard and just missing the state officer.
The security guard said he rolled off the vehicle and wasn’t seriously hurt.

Security officer shot investigating gunfire at apartments http://www.privateofficer.com

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Aug 5 2008 – A 31-year-old father of four continued on Monday to fight for his life after police said someone shot him while he was working at a Northwest Jacksonville apartment complex last weekend.

Investigators said James Hayes was wounded while trying to intervene after hearing gunshots fired at the Hilltop Apartments Saturday night.
According to the police report, a group of young men were shooting at each other and Hayes tried to mediate the situation.
Police said they found Hayes lying beside a guard post, critically injured. The men involved in the fight, they said, were gone
His family members spoke out on Monday, saying they want answers.
“I just want the guy or guys ? to come up front and somebody needs to do something,” said the victim’s brother, Jason Hayes.
He said his brother’s youngest child is only 1 year old, and that his fiancee has been by his side since the shooting.
“He’s fun. He likes to tell jokes — a little silly. Over all, he’s a good guy. He don’t harm nobody. He looks after his family,” said Jason Hayes.
The family gathered together in shock, praying and trying to deal with the frightening idea that Hayes might not survive.
“It’s just terrifying right now,” said Hayes’ brother, Isaiah Jackson.
The owner of the security company for which Hayes works said Hayes was the only guard on duty at the time of the shooting. He said from now on his company wouldn’t work with any fewer than two guards at the Hilltop Apartments.
Anyone with information about who shot Hayes is asked to call Crimestoppers at 866-845-TIPS. In addition to the $1,000 reward from Crimestoppers, the security company is also offering $1,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Security officer shot point blank survives www.privateofficer.com

Security Officer Shot www.privateofficer.com

Miami Fla. July 4 2008

Shot in the chest at point-blank range, security guard Edecio Castillo spent just two days in the hospital with a bullet wound.
”It’s a miracle I’m alive,” said Castillo, 60, a father of five. “It was so close that I breathed in the gun powder.”
His life spared, Castillo is helping Miami-Dade detectives hunt for the attackers who shot him Saturday near Miami Lakes.
Leads are scarce, detectives say.
Castillo was patrolling in a golf cart Saturday at about 10:25 p.m. at Las Villas shopping center, 4705 NW 183rd St. A Chinese restaurant had just closed.
A dark-skinned man, speaking Spanish, flagged him down. He asked for directions to Hialeah. Castillo began explaining how.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow lurking behind him. Castillo accelerated the cart — a second man appeared, firing some three rounds at close range, hitting Castillo once in the chest, police said.
The bullet exited from his arm.
”Before I die, I’m going to shoot back,” Castillo remembered thinking.
Castillo fired a volley of some six rounds; he believes one man may have been wounded. The attackers ran away. Castillo collapsed in front of Topazio Cafeteria Restaurant, and was later sent to the Ryder Trauma Center at Jackson Memorial Hospital.
”He’s lucky to be alive. My gut instinct tells me they were going to rob him but they never got to that point,” said Miami-Dade Detective Jorge Romero, of the Northwest district.
The first suspect was described only as a man in his 30s, about six-foot tall with an Afro haircut.
Castillo, who plans to return to work at another shopping center, is one of at least two private security guards shot in recent months.
On March 30, security guard Carlos Montes was shot at a North Miami-Dade Winn-Dixie when two teens tried to rob his gun. In the struggle, Montes shot and killed Jermaine Cobb, 19. A second teen, Brainely Morelus, 18, was arrested in June for his role in the robbery attempt, police said.

Shoplifter Wanted Fugitive www.privateofficer.com

Milford Ct. Nov. 20, 2007 — A New Haven woman accused of shoplifting at the Marshall’s store in the Milford Crossing shopping center was found hiding in the men’s room of another store on the other side of the Boston Post Road plaza.
Nadine Cameron, 41, of Sheffield Avenue in New Haven has been held on $10,000 bond since her arrest Saturday afternoon, because there is an outstanding arrest warrant for her in Georgia, police said today.
Cameron was charged with being a fugitive from justice and with third-degree robbery and sixth-degree larceny for the incident at the clothing store.
Police said she attempted to leave Marshall’s with $139 in merchandise without paying and scratched a security guard who tried to stop her.
She later was found trying to hide in the men’s bathroom at the Staples store in the same shopping complex.
Local police did not release what type of charges were pending against Cameron in Georgia and are waiting to be notified whether Georgia would seek extridition against her.
