By: Dinesh Patel
MADISON, WI – The Madison Police Department recovered a Cadillac Deville this morning, the keys to which were stolen from an 82-year-old Madison man last week while he was standing in front of a gas station urinal. The victim said the robber approached him from behind last Thursday morning and grabbed at the keys, which were in his pocket, as he used the restroom at the Mobil gas station, 2601 Shopko Dr. The older man, at first, engaged in a tug-of-war, trying to maintain custody of his keys. That was until he saw the robber was about to punch him. That’s when he let go.  The criminal took off in the Deville. It was found this morning parked and unoccupied in the 700 block of E.

Fugitive couple wanted for armed robbery caught in Florida

by Jeff Jones
By: Jeff Jones
MARTIN COUNTY, FL – A fugitive couple on the run from California was found and arrested Tuesday in Florida.
“It’s a long way from home, but 41-year old Francisco Silba and 36-year old Joanna Pulido will soon be headed back to Solano County California, where they are wanted by law enforcement for robbing a man at knifepoint. The robbery occurred in 2018. The victim was leaving an ATM machine when he was robbed,” the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said. “According to reports, Silba pulled a knife on the victim and robbed him while Pulido stood by as a lookout. They were initially arrested and charged but released on bond. The couple absconded from California and have been on the run.”
Last night, MCSO responded to a gas station for a disturbance call involving the pair. That’s when deputies discovered that they were fugitives. Deputies also found an array of credit cards, wallets and passport that the couple had in their possession. Both were taken into custody. Joanna Pulido and Francisco Silba will be extradited back to California to face their charges.

After Cuomo threatens indoor dining shutdown, Murphy says not in New Jersey

by Adam Devine
By: Adam Devine

TRENTON, NJ – It has been a follow the leader exercise for many months between New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy when it comes to reactionary measures to the COVID-19 pandemic.  On Monday, Governor Phil Murphy said he will not follow Cuomo’s lead and follow the New York governor down the indoor dining shutdown rabbit hole.  Cuomo said he will shut down and reduce indoor dining as of Monday, December 14th if hospitalizations don’t go down.

Murphy said he won’t be doing the same because he said there’s no evidence yet to support indoor dining as being a vehicle for COVID-19 virus transmission.

” That is not, right now, on the table for us, and I say that for a couple of reasons. First of all, if we saw explicit waves of transmission coming out of the indoor dining experience, obviously we’d have a different approach. Again, I have to reiterate something,” Murphy said. “You take a higher risk – you take on higher risk when you conduct more activities indoors, whether that’s indoor dining, a gym, indoor entertainment, whatever it might be, and increasingly in private settings, but we knew that. Saying you’re taking on more risk is different than saying you’re going into Path’s Restaurant where we just heard that there were 30 confirmed positives. Those are completely different realities. We are still in the mode where we can surgically strike; we will strike. We did that with indoor dining after 10 o’clock. We did it with bar seating, and we watch it. We continue to watch it like a hawk.”

Murphy said the situation in New Jersey is not the same as it was in the spring.  Perhaps, Murphy is also playing a page from his political playbook, knowing he has an election in 12 months and possibly even a primary election in six.

“I also want to hearken back to the spring. We were about to run out of hospital beds, ventilators, PPE. We were at the edge, and the fact of the matter is we spent the past – I guess of the nine months, probably the past six to seven months rebuilding those capacities,” Murphy said. “We do have hospitalizations that are up meaningfully, and I guess my guess is that they’re going to go higher, but they’re still about 5,000 beds shy of the peak in the spring.”

Instead, Murphy, who said everything is on the table is keeping to his current plan of surgical strikes against violators and hot spots.

“I’m saying really two things. If we see transmission in particular, if we see habits, we will strike surgically is our preference,” he said. “Secondly, we have capacities and a knowledge of this, and we’ll talk about modeling on Wednesday, not only knowledge of the virus but knowledge also of the range of where it could be headed. We will continue to do that.”

Governor Cuomo Threatens Indoor Dining Shutdown if People Don’t Stop Getting COVID-19

by Charlie Dwyer
By: Charlie Dwyer

ALBANY, NY – New York Governor Andrew Cuomo put his foot down.  The stupid people who are getting COVID-19, because it’s their own fault, better stop spreading COVID-19 or he’s shutting down the restaurants.

Following updated guidance from the CDC, the Governor announced that if a region’s hospitalization rate does not stabilize in the next five days, additional restrictions will be applied to indoor dining. If the hospitalization rate does not stabilize in New York City in the next five days, indoor dining will be suspended; if the rate does not stabilize in regions outside New York City, capacity restrictions will be reduced to 25 percent.

Meanwhile, just across the Hudson River, lockdown specialist, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy disagreed with Cuomo’s assessment, saying there’s no evidence that indoor dining is contributing to the spread of COVID-19 in his state.

“If after five days we haven’t seen a stabilization in a region’s hospital rate, we’re going to clamp down on indoor dining. Five days, if the hospitalization rate doesn’t stabilize in New York City, we’re going to close indoor dining,” Cuomo said. “We’re now at 25 percent in New York City. In the rest of the state, any region where the hospitalization rate doesn’t stabilize – they’re now at 50 percent capacity indoor dining – we’re going to go to 25 percent.”

The science behind Cuomo’s statement doesn’t even make sense.  There is absolutely nothing anyone in New York can do right now to have an impact on hospitalizations in the next five days. Anyone who has COVID-19 already has it, whether they know it or not and with a 3 to 7 day incubation period, it’s apparent Cuomo just wants to shut down indoor dining.

“So to recap, we’re going to monitor the hospital capacity, if it doesn’t stabilize, we’re going to reduce the indoor dining restrictions, we go to zero New York [City], 25 percent everywhere else,” Cuomo said.

Governor Phil Murphy Redefining the Definition of Criminal in New Jersey

by Conservative Times
By: Conservative Times

TRENTON, NJ –  In the name of COVID-19, thousands of convicted inmates in New Jersey’s prison system during the COVID-19 pandemic.  New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and his administration have told the public this is for their own good as these reformed criminals, many on the last leg of their sentence were released into the public, many also having COVID-19.  Illegal aliens in New Jersey have been given a safe haven in New Jersey.  Entering America illegally is no longer a criminal act…until you commit a criminal act, but even then, New Jersey’s laws prohibit local sheriffs and police departments from notifying federal authorities once an illegal alien has committed a crime in the Garden State.

Now, Governor Murphy is decriminalizing marijuana and hallucinogenic “magic mushrooms”.   In New Jersey this past spring, violent criminal behavior was on full display in several cities during the George Floyd riots.  Those were just peaceful protesters according to Murphy.

Instead, the real criminals these days in New Jersey are small business owners clamoring for their right to stay in business without government interruption.  The real criminals are also those who question the executive orders, over 100 of them, enacted by Murphy since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Criminals in New Jersey are the ones who stand on the State House steps yelling for change and pleading for a more reasonable reaction to COVID-19.   Criminals are bar owners who serve drinks past 10 pm or restaurant owners who allow a patron a few extra minutes to finish their cheesecake dessert at 10:05 pm after dinner. The new criminals of New Jersey are gym owners who offer their customers a place to stay in shape and workout during the pandemic lockdowns instituted by the Governor.  They are also the people who invited grandma to Thanksgiving dinner, knowing they already had 10 people on the invite list. Criminals are youth hockey families who want to get in some indoor ice time this winter.   They are soccer, baseball, and softball players who want to get in some winter training indoors as the cold weather sets in.

Criminals are not the governors across America, including Murphy who violate their own COVID-19 lockdown rules. Criminals are not the ones who defraud the public and sentenced to jail but don’t serve because, well, they might get COVID-19 in jail. Criminals are not the ones now being issued citations and released at the scene because our state’s police officers know there’s no reason to bring them to jail because of COVID-19 and Murphy’s insane prison reform agenda.

That is the New Jersey we live in today. It’s an alternate reality supported by alternate facts dictated by a socialist Democrat who was elected to office in 2017.   Phil Murphy made no secret his plan to decriminalize criminal behavior when taking office.  He also made no secret about his plan to turn the tables against the hard-working middle and upper class of New Jersey when he took office.  Now, armed with COVID-19, he’s able to fast track his liberal socialist agenda in the name of science, health and public safety.

We wish this story had a happy ending, but the reality is simple.  Murphy is empowered by a majority Demcorat state assembly and senate.  Republicans are not only unable to reverse the course or block a single action by Murphy, they also don’t want to.  They’re good at writing press releases and holding press conferences to condemn Murphy, but they don’t have any real plan right now to defeat Murphy.

Murphy will continue criminalizing the masses of New Jersey while offering shelter to his base. It’s what he has been doing since day one and there’s no way to stop him.

by Dinesh Patel
By: Dinesh Patel

LIBERTY TOWNSHIP, OH – Major League Baseball umpire Brian O’nora was one of fourteen people charged in a statewide sex sting and human sex trafficking bust.  Fourteen men were arrested during a single-day human trafficking operation that targeted individuals seeking to buy sex via the internet, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost and Liberty Township Police Chief Toby Meloro announced on Monday.

Among the 14 arrested was MLB umpire Brian O’Nora of Youngstown, Ohio.

The operation, which took place on Sunday, was conducted by the Liberty Township Police Department in cooperation with the Mahoning Valley Human Trafficking Task Force, a task force under the attorney general’s Ohio Organized Crime Investigations Commission.

“John stings deter those seeking to purchase sex – reducing the demand for human trafficking – and serve as a reminder that these crimes are more prevalent and closer to home than you may think,” Yost said. “Hats off to Chief Meloro and the Liberty Township Police Department on their successful operation.”

The following individuals were arrested and charged with soliciting, a third-degree misdemeanor, and possessing criminal tools, a first-degree misdemeanor:

  • Willie Daniels Jr., 37, Youngstown
  • Saad Elamin, 43, Campbell
  • Omar Farooq, 37, Hermitage, PA
  • Thomas Hendricks, 66, Salem
  • Ryan Kirkpatrick, 26, residence unknown

158 arrested in Los Angeles for violating statewide COVID-19 lockdown

by Ryan Dickinson
By: Ryan Dickinson

LOS ANGELES, CA – The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has announced the arrest of 150 people.  Sheriff Alex Villanueva said a large gathering of people were in clear violation of the state’s executive COVID-19 lockdown, but also that his department found weapons, and a young girl who was a victim of human sex trafficking.  Last weekend, Villanueva said his department was alerted to the party in Palmdale.   He said there was underage drinking at the party.

Villaneuva said his department will continue to enforce executive orders against reckless parties, but called upon Governor Gavin Newsom and the LA county commissioners to reopen restaurants and small businesses and instead, to focus on superspreader underground events such as the one that occurred this weekend.

“We’ll continue to use responsible law enforcement,” Villaneuva said of his department’s role in assisting state, county and city officials’ lockdown.

Euclid Karen didn’t want to pay for her salty lobster Dinner at Boiler 65, leaves with criminal charge instead

by Dinesh Patel
By: Dinesh Patel

EUCLID, OH – After Karen scoffed down and entire $69 lobster dinner at Boiler 65, she wasn’t happy and wanted to speak to a manager. Police here were called after Karen up the ante after not getting her way with the restaurant’s manager.   Police were dispatched on Saturday for the escalating dispute in the restaurant.

“A woman argued that her $69 lobster dinner was too salty and didn’t wish to pay for it,” Euclid police said. “Management contested that if the woman was dissatisfied with the taste of the lobster she should have asked for it to be returned to the kitchen and not consume the meal in its entirety.”

Karen was sent on her way and charged for criminally trespassing at the establishment, most likely a larger sum to pay than the $69 she stiffed Boiler 65 out of.

Here’s what also happened this weekend in Euclid…

Officers were dispatched to a residence on Stilmore for a suicidal male that had sliced his wrist. Upon arrival, officers observed the male leap out of window and onto the rooftop. Officers ran through the house and onto the rooftop. They were able to convince the male to come back inside and go to a nearby hospital with the South Euclid Fire Department.

A man allegedly threated to “shoot this b***h up” at Zoup after the employee who took his order wouldn’t wipe down excess soup from around his cup after she filled it. The man left the scene on foot, however, officers found him at a nearby bar, where he denied making the claim. He was told not to come back in for the night

A Euclid Police Officer assisted SEFD at a kitchen fire at Mayflower Condominiums. No injuries were reported and the damage was minor.

No one ever came looking for the sweet, gentle, quiet guy, so his search begins for a new, wonderful family,” Popcorn Park said.  “Asher is about 7 years old and he had a tattered, dirty collar on with no tags and he wasn’t microchipped either. Asher seems to be hard of hearing, but what a sweet, well-behaved boy he is. He loves people, and just wants you to be kind to him. He trots after a ball when you toss it for him, like it reminds him of happier days. Asher will need a home with no other pets but this gentle giant will give you the love and devotion of a hundred pets if you give him a chance.”

East Gate to Host Holiday Open House This Weekend in Historic Fort Monmouth

by Your News
By: Your News

East Gate in historic Fort Monmouth is set to spread holiday cheer with a special Open House event to be held on Saturday and Sunday, December 12th and 13th. Developer RPM Development Group and CB New Homes, the exclusive marketing and sales agent for the upscale residential community, are inviting the public to “make their spirits bright” and stroll through a neighborhood of festively-decorated homes in Officer’s Row, an acclaimed collection of century-old residences that once housed high ranking officers at the 1,126-acre former U.S. Army post in Oceanport, NJ.

The event will take place from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. and enable attendees to view homes adorned with holiday decorations inside and out. What’s more, hot cocoa will be served as guests take in the majesty and natural beauty of Parkers Creek, a picturesque waterway bordering East Gate, from the warmth of a fire pit in the expansive rear patio of the magnificently merchandised model home. Social distancing guidelines and protocols will be in place to ensure guests can safely enjoy the event.

Highlighted during the Open House will be the perfectly preserved single-family attached homes at East Gate. Less than ten of these ultra-luxurious three-bedroom residences remain available for sale at the community, priced from the $700,000s.

The single-family attached homes boast Federal-style red brick exteriors that date back to the early 1900s, a time when building strength and fine craftsmanship were the norm. Situated on some of the most desirable community locations, the residences offer over 2,500 square feet of living space complimented by expansive yards, large rear patios and vistas of Parker’s Creek, a natural waterway bordering the community. Further amplifying the attraction is the unique opportunity to receive a newly built home in a neighborhood that’s already well-established with 85% of residences occupied.

The single-family attached homes are move-in ready and boast uniquely wide floorplans that feel and live like expansive single-family homes inside and out, without the hassle and headaches of tiresome maintenance. The floorplans offer 2.5 baths, dining/living room, open concept kitchen, expansive master bedroom suite with lavish master bath and sitting room and den that makes for the perfect home office that everyone wants and needs in today’s business climate. Crown molding can be found throughout the main living level and hardwood flooring is included on both the first and second floors. Outside, each home has a large patio to fully enjoy Fort Monmouth’s natural surroundings that are both tranquil and scenic.

East Gate has had significant appeal to buyers scaling down from single-family homes but still seeking residences with spacious and comfortable interiors, roomy, private outdoor areas, and appreciative of the extra leisure time afforded by the neighborhood’s maintenance-free lifestyle.

LINCOLN, CA –  A Lincoln man was caught with a stolen pickup truck, despite his best effort to hide the evidence this week.  He spraypainted the entire truck with blue spraypaint, but it didn’t fool officers who saw the truck in a parking lot on Monday.

At 7:30 PM on December 7th a Lincoln Police Officer observed a vehicle in a parking lot (100 block of Gateway Drive) that had been entirely painted with blue spray paint. A check of the license plate revealed that the vehicle had been reported stolen in Sacramento. The officer detained the lone occupant, who was in the passenger seat. Officers then contacted and detained 42-year-old Ian Boyea (of Lynwood, WA) inside a business and learned that he had driven the vehicle to its location.

During a search of the vehicle officers located methamphetamine and suspected fentanyl. Boyea was arrested for vehicle theft, felony vandalism (for painting the victim’s car), possession of methamphetamine, possession of narcotics, and possession of a concealed dagger. He was booked at the South Placer Jail.

Belmont meth dealer gets 5 years in federal prison

 CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE – Thomas Deware, 56, of Belmont, was sentenced on Monday to 72 months in federal prison for distributing methamphetamine and possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, United States Attorney Scott W. Murray announced today.

           According to court documents and statements made in court, between June and September, 2019, Deware sold methamphetamine to an individual who was working with law enforcement officers.  During three of these purchases, Deware possessed a handgun in a chest holder.

On October 17, 2019, law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at Deware’s residence and recovered a .45 caliber handgun that was consistent with the firearm he possessed during three of the controlled drug purchases.

“Armed drug traffickers present a very serious threat to public health and safety,” said U.S. Attorney Murray.  “We are working closely with the FBI and our other law enforcement partners to identify and prosecute the dangerous drug dealers who use guns as part of their illegal activities.  As Mr. Deware has learned, drug traffickers who carry guns in the Granite State will face substantial federal prison sentences.”

“Whether it’s a large-scale drug trafficking organization, or an individual like Thomas Deware distributing methamphetamine while possessing a firearm, rest assured disrupting and dismantling criminal drug trafficking operations is a critical part of our mission,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Boston Division. “The FBI will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to put drug traffickers like Deware permanently out of business and behind bars, as we fight violent crime and work to make our neighborhoods safer.”

This matter was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with assistance from Belmont Police Department.  The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Cam Le and Joachim Barth.
