Song: Dive by Ed Sheeran

???????????????

Ed Sheeran, age 25, of Halifax, England was taken into custody by Heathrow police after hijacking a plane on the tarmac late Thursday evening.

The police say officials were called when Sheeran began demanding a gate agent allow him to board a plane without a ticket. Sheeran’s estranged girlfriend was on the flight headed to LA. A friend of the couple who declined to be named said, “They have been on-again, off-again for nearly 2 years. This isn’t the first time he has acted out towards her.”

Police reports filed three years ago detail an incident in which authorities were called to an upscale hotel after a domestic dispute between Sheeran and his then live-in girlfriend. Large amounts of marijuana were found and Sheeran was charged with possession and verbal assault. In court, Sheeran claimed the abuse was warranted due to his the girlfriend’s infidelity.

According to witnesses at the airport, Sheeran had been playing cards at a pub in the airport for several hours prior to the incident. When the plan began boarding Sheeran rushed the line. While waiting for authorities, Sheeran was able to get onto the plane and refused to leave until speaking with his estranged girlfriend. When his demand was not met, Sheeran proceeded to open the rear emergency exit and threaten to jump. After nearly an hour, Sheeran did jump, but rescue crews were able to setup an inflatable mat to which he fell. Within seconds of landing, Sheeran was taken into custody for psychiatry evaluation.

Bribing the sheriff

Shocking news in the small town of Ketchum, ID; On 7/6/2014 sheriff Caleb is going on trial for taking multiple bribes and gambling. He is being charged with stealing money that people set as bail and now there seems to be none left. The bar owner is very concerned with who is going to pay his tab because he told officers that he had no money left. Some of the bribes the he may have excepted include watches, hats and wine. If you gave Sheriff Caleb anything you need to call in and tell the police what it was and why you gave him it. He told one person that he didn’t care what could happen because he would probably be gone tomorrow. If anyone has any other news on this please contact the sheriffs office.

 

This assignment was Police Beat and the song that helped with this was “Last Dollar” by Tim GcGraw. It was a difficult some because there is noting mean in it at all. I used my character dossier in this also.

Police Beat

Shadow, 25, was arrested Rose’s Park, Rose avenue, at 2:00pm. Shadow is accused of stalking multiple people as they walked through the park. Shadow is accused of walking directly behind people trying to blend into their own shadows. He is being accused of scaring young children when he jumped from the shadows.

“I was just playing hide and seek with the children, I love kids I didn’t mean them any harm! As for following people, I did no such thing I saw them yelling at their own shadow. I think people just have it out for me!” stated Shadow.

“I saw him lurking in my shadow from the corner of my eye, it freaked me out so I told him to get lost stop following me because it was creepy. He didn’t listen so I ran.” said Molly a frequent visitor at the park. “Shadow he is a nice guy, we love to play with him every time we go outside” reported Anne, a small child. “He is a thief and was probably just trying to find something to take from my daughter and the other victims, ugh what a loser trying to steal from children.” said Anne’s mother.

Prosecutors say he will not be charged for this incident though some unrelated changes may be pending.

Here is a report that came in on the wire from Quartzite, Arizona.

——————————— 8< -----------------------------
Quartzite AZ Police Report ID 65-4345E12
Arresttee’s Name(s): Joseph Henderson, Loretta Martin
Charges: Possession of Marijuana (A.R.S) 13-3415; Disorderly Conduct, Outstanding Warrants
Date/Time: Friday, February 3, 2012, 8:44pm
Location: 56 Lizard Lane, Quartzite, AZ 85346
Reporting: Sergeant Willi Fremont

At 8:15PM, QPD received an anonymous call about suspicious persons galavanting along Central Blvd. who wer tipping trash cans at the Burger King on Central and Cowell St. Officers Fremont and Martinez responded to the scene on foot from their beat on Main Street.

Upon seeing the officers, Joseph “Jo Jo” Henderson, 26, of Tucson, Arizona, and his partner Loretta Martin, also of Tucson, ran from the officers heading north on Central. QPD pursued on foot, following the suspects over a fence into the backyard property of Frida Colangario of 56 Lizard Lane. Henderson damaged a barbecue gril and 3 prized plastic flamingos in the flight.

Suspects were cornered by QOD officers and requested to produce identification. Henderson spat in the face of officer Martinez saying, “We dont have to go anywhere with you pig”. Upon search of Henderson, QPD recovered a two pound ziploc bag of marijuana hidden insider a plastic mustard dispenser. Henderson claimed the mustard had come from California as a gift.

Henderson claimed he was a loner, and pretended not to be affiliated with Martin. After cuffing Henderson, Sgt Fremont examined Martin and conjectured the situation required a female officer. After a radio call to headquarters, Captain Mary Saurez showed up to conduct a search of Martin, only to discover the individual appeared as a female but was male wearing women’s attire.

A background check revealed they had both provided false identities and were wanted for unauthorized leave from work releases executed by the Marana Correctional Facility. After reporting capture, extradition was arranged for both Henderson and Martin on February 4, and they will get back to where they once belonged, the Marana unit.

Lyrics for the song: Get Back. There are rather discordant interpretations of the song at Songmeaning

Oops, I did it again~

My next assignment was inspired by R. Kelly Can Fly? I really liked the idea and often spend my  time reading funny articles about bizarre crimes. like you do. I was looking and I found a less funny more sad story:

occupy-wall-street-police-brutality-1.jpegThis fella looking classy abusing these people

vancouver_riot__1287691cl-8.jpgI just love this image, it is quite iconic now, but the brutality in Canada was an issue too

According to the complaint,  Cantu, a diesel mechanic, was making his lunch January 22, 2010, when he saw a few cops streaking across his yard. A deafening explosion shook the room as a flash bomb shot through the door. Nearly 20 officers crashed in.”Get on the ground!” they allegedly ordered him. Cantu, according to the complaint, obliged and was zipcuffed. Inexplicably, the filing claims, the officers kicked and punched him until he was unconscious, lying in a pool of his own blood on the kitchen floor. Meanwhile, they searched his house and allegedly didn’t find what they were after. Cantu’s alleged butcher’s bill: a broken orbital bone, a broken nose, a concussion, traumatic brain injury, a loss of vision in his left eye and loss of hearing in his left ear. According to his complaint, the “injuries required surgical intervention and caused significant scarring and disfigurement.”

Cantu was arrested but never charged with a crime. Indeed, a search of county court records yielded no charges under that name. Dallas Police spokesman Kevin Janse told Unfair Park neither the raid nor the name rang a bell.  The title says it all “Man claims that the Dallas Police Department stormed his house, beat the hell out of him, for no reason”

I found this story here, and thanks to the Author Brantly Hargrove. But this story sounded familiar. Yup here was another one, this one is close to my home in Denver the poor man was standing up for another man, when he was beat! The video shoes the hustle, you can see the little doggie fleeing the scene too! That was when it hit me, Brittany! Her orange jail-like outfit is even fitting!

Let me know of any other Ops America’s finest beat the crap out of the innocent to the musical beats of a pre-crazy Brittany.  Maybe we can assemble a whole collection of abusive force articles~

R. Kelly Can fly?

I chose to write about R. Kelly’s “I beleive I can fly.” I chose this because it was funny to think about the sone in a different way. Normally the song means that you can do anything you put your mind to so to speak. But The twist of making it into a police report was fun because you can twist the words to make it sound like he is nuts. I started out by looking up the lyrics. The assignment was to write a police report to a songs lyrics. After that I looked up different possible offenses he would be charged with if he made the “leap of faith” literally. I found the photo at google images that I thought would be appropriate for this assignment because of his arrest. I added some things like height and weight to make it more realistic for a “mug shot” with the paint program.

Flying

Robert Slyvester Kelly age 39 was found nearly dead 33 stories below his high rise apartment in downtown Chicago last night. It was reported by numerous neighbors that he was stating that he was stating over and over ”I believe I can fly” numerous times before taking the plunge. Neighbor Alex Anderson had reported he said “If I can see it then I can do it, If I belive it there’s nothing to it.” Alex-”He is an interesting guy and has a large imagination I just didnt think he would take it to such a level. There is a large line between creativity and insanity. Maybe his creativity brought him to insantity.”His neighbors reported that they made many attempts to stop him before but ultimately was not able to stop him from his decision this time. His landing resulted in damage to the following property.

Property damaged: Canvas overhang of high rise bulding, Cost 10,000, 2012 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coup. Color: Black, Total Value: 125,850

Robert Slyvester Kelly is charged with attempted sucide and is currently under psycological evalutaion.

He is also charged with destruction of property, Injury to Property(himself), Willful Malicious Destruction, And criminal damage. Damages exeeded over 100,000 dollars making it a felony.

Note: This photoshoped picture holds no truth and is in no way an attempt to defame nor any slander against R. Kelly. The portrail in this post is also fictional and in no way an attempt to defame nor change his depiction by reader’s or the public for that matter. This was solely for an assignment for class and only for that reason. Thank you and I hope there is no confusion. -Bryan Scott Wynn.
