Andy Rooney ending role on 60 Minutes 92-year-old has been contributor since 1978 A n d y Rooney is calling it quits f r o m 6 0 Minutes, says CBS. The 92year-old will announce the move at the end of this Sunday's essay, which the network notes will be No. 1,097 since 1978. Though a network fixture, Rooney has run into repeated criticism that he's out of touch with modern culture, notes the TVNewser blog. "There's nobody like Andy and there never will be," says CBS News chief Jeff Fager. "His contributions to 60 Minutes are immeasurable; he's also a great friend. It's harder for him to do it every week, but he will always have the ability to speak his mind on 60 Minutes when the urge hits him."

US Fugitive caught after 41 years in Portugal Killer, hijacker George Wright fighting extradition This might be the end of the road for fugitive George Wright, but what a road it's been. Authorities arrested the 68year-old in P o r t u g a l yesterday after 41 years on the lam. Even the bare bones of his rap sheet nearly defy belief, as CNN and AP recount: In 1962, he murdered a gas station owner (a highly decorated WWII vet) during a robbery; he escaped from prison in 1970 (reportedly by stealing the warden's car), then went underground with the Black Liberation Army. In 1972, while dressed as a priest, he and others hijacked a plane to Algiers (after making FBI agents dress in bathing suits to deliver ransom money). Algeria returned the plane and money but allowed the hijackers to disappear, which they did with help from Black Panther activist Eldridge Cleaver, who was living in the country. Wright remained on the loose for four decades until a dogged New Jersey corrections officer got a lead (possibly because Wright contacted relatives in the US) that resulted in his arrest. Wright is fighting extradition back to the US. One other tidbit: The 1972 hijacking led to stricter airport security rules, requiring for the first time that all passengers and their handbags be screened.

Representative Rehwinkel Vasilinda Files Death Penalty Repealer Bill SEPTEMBER 27, 2011 Tallahassee – Amid growing concerns over the possible execution of wrongfully convicted prisoners and the exorbitant cost to the state, State Representative Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda (D-Tallahassee) has filed House Bill 4051, which would end the death penalty in Florida. "I'm not in the business of dispensing vengeance. As a state representative, I am in the business of making decisions to help keep Floridians safe from crime while spending taxpayer money prudently. HB 4051 will achieve both goals,‖ said Representative Michelle Rehwinkel Vasilinda. Executions are carried out at staggering cost to taxpayers. In its 2000 report, ―The High Price of Killing Killers,‖ the Palm Beach Post found that Florida spent approximately $51 million each year to enforce the death penalty. ―It cost at least $51 million a year and over 30 years to arrive at the day of execution for Manuel Valle, who is scheduled to be put to death by what may be Governor Scott's first signature on a death warrant. With that $51 million we could put 850 law enforcement officers on Florida's streets, as well as adding more FDLE investigators and equipment to our arsenal against crime,‖ said Representative Rehwinkel Vasilinda. Life without parole is a sensible alternative to the death penalty. Almost every state in the country now has life in prison without parole. Unlike decades ago, a sentence of life without parole means exactly what it says – convicts locked away in prison until they die. In reality, it is much less expensive to keep a criminal in prison for life without parole than it is for the state to execute them. A sentence of life in prison without parole allows mistakes to be corrected or new evidence to come to light. That would increase faith and fairness in our justice system. In addition, state sponsored executions have been unjustly applied; innocent people have been killed; and each execution cause rifts in the fabric of our civil society. All of this when we could be turning our attention and spending our time and money toward solving our state's many challenges. The recent protests and national concern over the execution of Troy Davis is emblematic of the lack of trust more and more people are demonstrating in the justice and accuracy of state sponsored executions. That is not good for the respect and dignity for the law. "One of the underlying questions in the debate about state-sponsored executions is what is the proper role and place of government? The appropriate question for state government is how do we keep people safe from crime in the most cost effective way? When you analyze the numbers, state sponsored execution is not the correct answer," says Rep. Rehwinkel Vasilinda.

Solyndra, “the future of green energy” By Ron Hart
“an insane business model. The numbers just don’t work, and they never did.” Peter Lynch, a solar industry analyst on Solyndra In 2008 and until an intervention in the form of the 2010 elections, the Democrats had a supermajority with the House, Senate and Presidency. They looted the country like it was Katrina again, knowing the cops would soon be there. A part of that was a $535 million ―fast tracked‖ loan to Solyndra that was sped up so Obama could visit them and use them in a speech applaud himself. The loan was denied under Bush. Trumpeted by Obama as the future of green energy, Solyndra, with accumulated losses of $558 million in its five-year existence, filed bankruptcy. Solyndra went broke leaving us tax payers with the bill, so I guess Obama was right, that is the future of his deals. We learned that community organizing is not the best training to be a venture capitalists. Solyndra’s solar panels did not work well; turns out Snooki from The Jersey Shore absorbs more sunlight. We could have created more energy by burning our $535 million in one dollar bills in a power plant. That technically is greenback energy, so Obama can brag about that. This is what happens with Chicago-style crony capitalism. The business fails, the tax payers foot the bill and political friend rack up. Ex- Mass. Gov. Weld will do well too; he will charge $800 an hour to lawyer the bankrupt company. It’s called reaching across the aisle. Al Gore, a government employee for life, broke the code on getting rich on this green energy scam. Celebrity Networth says Gore has over $100 million.

The male stated the subject kept insisting he knew martial arts and continued to instigate a fight with the witness. He stated the owner of the establishment came outside to intervene. Officer Hammond pulled up on scene prior to my arrival, and witnessed the male subject causing a disturbance by yelling at the witness on the sidewalk. I made contact with the subject and he willingly admitted he was under the i n f l u e n c e o f a l co h o l ic beverages. I retrieved a pocket knife attached to his belt and another pocket knife in his left pant pocket for our safety. The subject was placed under arrest for disorderly intoxication .

SUSPICIOUS PERSON Ofc. Patterson D
On 09-25-2011 I was on patrol near the Macedonia Garden Apartment complex. As I pulled into the complex from 17th street I noticed a subject sitting in the "C" building breezeway. I further observed him jerk his head toward me, stand-up and rapidly walk west through the breezeway. I noticed this subject get onto a bicycle and pedal toward the Flower Avenue entrance . I exited the complex and positioned my patrol car on Flower Avenue just south of 17th street as the subject was travelling north on Flower Avenue from the Macedonia entrance. I exited my car and asked the subject to talk to me. The subject said "I aint done nothing" and began rapidly pedaling away from me. I began pursuing the subject on
foot west bound on 17th Street. Just before the subject approached Frankford Avenue, Ofc. Harris arrived in his patrol car. Ofc. Harris was positioned next to the subject with his lights and siren activated in an attempt to stop the subject. The subject bailed off of his bicycle in the 2100 block of west 17th street. At this time I was still running about thirty yards behind the subject and Ofc. Harris. I observed Ofc. Harris and the subject struggle for a brief moment where the subject broke free and continued to run west bound. The subject jumped a fence into the back yard of 1701 Clay Avenue and continued in an unknown direction. Several other units arrived in the area in an attempt to locate this subject. The bicycle was placed into impound at the Panama City Police department. Ofc. Harris recovered a 22 caliber Ruger handgun from when he struggled with the subject. Ofc. Harris turned this gun over to this officer. The gun was found to be stolen out of Escambia County in 2001. The gun was placed into evidence and will be sent off for prints along with the magazine and ammunition. It is unknown at this time as to the identity of the subject. 11-12750 9/24/2011 11:28:20AM 6000 W HIGHWAY 98;

We had received several complaints from residents in the area about people hanging out in the park and drinking alcohol. We approached the park, I observed 2 men sitting on the picnic table inside the city park. One of the men looked up and saw us approaching.
recovered the open bottle of bud ice lager 5.5% alcohol by volume beer and properly disposed of it. That fact that he attempted to conceal the beer from us, supported the fact that he knew alcohol was illegal inside the park and that he was committing a crime, because if it was any other non -alcohol beverage, he would not have tried to conceal it. I placed Mathis under arrest for violating M.O. 3-3 which prohibits one from possession and open alcoholic beverage while inside a city park. He was then transported to the Bay County Jail, where he was charged accordingly.

As I approached the men, I identified myself and the reason for contact was his suspicious activity, and my belief that he was in possession of alcohol, due to his attempt to conceal the bottle from my view. I advised him being in possession of an opened alcohol container while inside a city park is illegal. I observed the same opened bottle that he had attempted to conceal in plain view on the ground behind the table leg. There was no other bottle on the ground in the place he concealed his bottle.

I advised him that he did not need to be asking for money. He stated that he knew that. The other party walked over and advised me of what had took place but did not wish any type of actions be done. I advised the suspect that he need to go find another place to hang out for the night. He began to walk away and yelled at the employee "fxxx you" and shot him a bird. When the suspect did this there were several small kids walking out of the store. I advised the suspect that he was under arrest for disorderly conduct.

The passenger door and fender was scratched and dented. I made contact with XXXXXXXX out front. XXXXXXXX said he saw some dude come up to him, who looked like he wanted to fight. XXXXXXXX said so I started swinging first. XXXXXXXX said, XXXXXX jumped in to defend him. While talking with XXXXXXXX another fight started on 13th Street. I made contact with Rogers, sister of XXXXXX. She said that she saw a large group of bay High School JV Football players swarming out the gate. Rogers said she new there was about to be a fight. She saw Marcus Leverett approaching her brother/ XXXXXX. She tried to intervene when the two started fighting. I told her to contact me Monday at school so I could
get a statement from her, because the area had not been secured. Rogers said there were others present trying to fight to "D" and another.XXXXXX was turned over to his mother Regina Biggs. I made contact with Leverett, reading him the Miranda Warning/ Acknowledgement of right card. Leverett said he understood his rights and was willing to speak to me. Leverett said he was going into the stadium to locate some girls to invite to a party in Lynn Haven. Leverett said, XXXXXX approached him and the two started fighting. Leverett said XXXXXX threw him into the parked vehicle which caused the damage. Leverett was charged with disorderly conduct, case reference 2011-065117. Leverett said he wasn't fighting with XXXXXXXX or did he know who he was. On 09-24-2011 I made contact with Deputy Page by telephone. He advised XXXXXX after being separated by law enforcement was trying to continued to fight with Leverett until taken into custody. 09-26-2011 Deputy Page provided a supplement report to 2011065117 also included in this report. On 09-26-2011 I made contact with Deputy Lupica. He said after being separated by law enforcement XXXXXX continued to try to fight with Leverette and used fighting words. Deputy Lupica provided a supplement report to 2011065630 included in this report. On 09-26-2011 I made contact with XXXXXX and his mother in my office. I explained to them the charges pending. Regina Biggs said there were more witnesses. I told her to have them contact me at Bay High School and I would take a sworn statement. Regina said XXXXXX was holding a baby when the fight started. The night of the incident Rogers said she was holding the babies. Biggs said that "Cito" (XXXX XXXXXXX) had displayed a firearm in his belt that Rogers saw. However Roger talked to me and Sgt. Guilford that night and never mentioned a firearm to either on of us. Biggs wanted her son to provide a written statement, but declined when I told her he would need to sign a waiver of right form first.
I made contact with XXXXXXXX and his mother Katrina Biggs in my office. I explained to her that by her sons own admission 09-23-2011, he swung on the other first. I told her I was not able to confirm this at this time or he may be looking at disorderly conduct charges. She demanded her some write a statement.

On 09/20/2011, at approximately 2225 hours, I was traveling southbound in the 1400 block of State Road 77 and observed a blue Jeep Grand Cherokee with Florida tag number 119VBF also traveling southbound directly in front of my patrol vehicle with the right rear tail lamp out.

The candy bar case Bay County Sheriff's Office Offense / Incident Report Casenumber: 2011-065454 Reported On: 09/25/2011 @ 13:09 Location: 2117 SHERMAN AVE PANAMA CITY, FL 32405 Business Name: HILAND PARK BALL PAR Testimony: FOUND THE OPEN DOOR TO THE CONCESSION STAND Narrative On this date I responded to the Hiland Park Ball fields in reference to a burglary of the concession stand. Upon arrival I spoke to James Holt. James advised me he brought his kids to the park to play and noticed the concession stand door was ajar. He peeked in but did not see anyone. He then called the Sheriff's Office to report there might be a burglary. I went inside and noticed candy all over the floor along with some cans of soda. The cabinet the cash register was on had been pried open. It was apparent there were candy items missing as there were blank spaces on the shelf. I went outside and observed a picnic table pushed against the wall and what appeared to be hand prints going into the open window. The window had bars but there was plenty of room for a child to go in. I photographed the immediate area including a shoe print in the dirt directly under the picnic table.
I looked in the trash cans in the park and started to find candy bar boxes. At the picnic table near the playground, I located three more boxes and a debris trail where it appeared the suspects were dropping things as they left. Some of the chocolate was on the ground and had not started to melt. I also noted there were no ants on the spilled candy bars which were unwrapped. I spoke to Deputy Duggins who arrived and he said he was here a couple hours ago and observed a large group of individuals playing baseball. I found the same shoe print along with another distinct print near the picnic table. I followed the shoe prints all the way to the back walking gate in patches of sand onto E 19th place. The same distinct prints traveled along this road to Sherman Ave then onto Gannon Circle where they disappeared about 50 yards down the road in the dirt. I returned to the concession and was later met by parks worker Eddie Warren. He advised me he did not know if anything was stolen or if the damaged cabinet was already like that. I explained to him I located several empty boxes of candy bars in the area and needed to determine if they were stolen. He called someone else and advised me it would be Monday before anyone could tell me anything. Dep Duggins dusted the cabinet and windows for latents but found none that were usable. Since Eddie was unable to help with the investigation and there was not going to be anyone else enroute from the Parks Dept, I gave him a case number and a list of items I needed such as dollar amounts and items missing. The building was then re secured. This case is pending.

Alabama Town Enacts 'Jesus or Jail' Plan Misdemeanor offenders can choose between church and jail It's either Jesus or jail for small-time offenders in Bay Minette, Alabama. Operation Restore Our Community is kicking off there this week, giving misdemeanor offenders the choice between a year of Sunday church services or fines and jail, Raw Story reports. Pastors invented the program on the presupposition that crime is caused by "the erosion of family values and morals," the town's police chief says. "We have children raising children and parents not instilling values in young people." Alabama's ACLU office calls the plan "blatantly unconstitutional" and is "considering options for response." A Think Progress writer notes that even conservative Justice Antonin Scalia would condemn the plan for using the threat of penalty to coerce participation in religion. But one pastor rebuffed criticism, saying, "You show me somebody who falls in love with Jesus, and I'll show you a person who won't be a problem to society."

“cooking meth” September 26, 2011 The Washington County Drug Task Force, consisting of the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and the Chipley Police Department, reports the arrest of five people and the dismantling of an active methamphetamine lab at a home on Houston Road in Chipley. A Washington County Sheriff’s Office deputy, acting off a tip, arrived at the Houston Road residence in the early morning hours of Monday, September 26th. WCDTF Investigators arrived on scene to assist and consent was given by the property owner to search the residence. Task Force investigators found five suspects inside the home in the process of “cooking meth”. In addition, investigators found methamphetamines, drug paraphernalia, and a “shake and bake” bottle actively producing methamphetamines. The house was immediately cleared due to the volatile nature of the meth lab and officers trained in methamphetamine lab dismantling were able to safely contain and then remove the lab. During the search, investigators also found several bottles of what is commonly referred to as “bi-layered liquid”. Bilayered liquid is the product you have after the initial “cooking” process and before you have your finished meth product. Arrested and charged was:
Timothy James Braddy, 23 year old white male of 1565B Houston Road in Chipley, FL · Manufacturing Methamphetamines · Possession of Methamphetamine Christopher Ryan Bass, 21 year old white male of Anderson Street in Chipley, FL · Possession of Controlled Substance Without Prescription · Manufacturing Methamphetamines · Possession of Methamphetamine Justin Edward Brown, 23 year old white male of Indian Well Road in Caryville, FL · Manufacturing Methamphetamines · Possession of Methamphetamine Christon Faith Patrick, 22 year old white female of Brickyard Road in Chipley, FL · Manufacturing Methamphetamines · Possession of Methamphetamine Tina Monique Hill, 25 year old black female of 1565B Houston Road in Chipley, FL · Manufacturing Methamphetamines · Possession of Methamphetamine · Possession of Marijuana
All five suspects were transported to the Washington County Jail. Additional charges are pending. Sheriff Haddock ask that anyone with information on illegal drug activity contact us at 638-TIPS (8477) or by email at tips@wcso.us.

WOODEN BAT FROM PAGE 11 with me. WENDY also kept telling me to take her to jail, and was out of control. I then walked next door to JONATHANs where I met him and LESLIE. JONATHAN was covered in blood from a busted nose and stated that during the Battery, he tried to separate LESLIE & MEGAN. During that time MEGAN hit him several times to the nose. JONATHAN stated that he did not want to pursue charges and he would not cooperate with us in reference to the Battery. JONATHAN and LESLIE both stated that MEGAN had been threatening LESLIE tonight. MEGAN came out in front of the residence with what they

LESLIE advised me that after she was hit with the weapon, she grabbed it and grabbed MEGAN by the hair. She then started defending herself by hitting MEGAN to the face and she ended up biting her on the back. LESLIE then walked Cpl BENNET to the side of the street where she recovered the club that she was attacked with. The club was collected and submitted into evidence. While we were questioning MEGAN again with the new information, I asked Deputy JACKSON to start clearing the scene with people that did not to be here as people were starting to show up.

becoming a officer safety issue. Deputy JACKSON spoke with WENDY and her mother, who started cussing him. Both WENDY and NANCY refused to comply with a lawful command and was actively interfering with an investigation.
I advised Deputy JACKSON to arrest WENDY. As WENDY was being placed in restraints NANCY became irate. I then took control of NANCY. As I was placing her in restraints and trying to transport her to the vehicle, she turned on me while she was screaming. ...CONTINUED ON PAGE 47
Knox a 'Satanic SheDevil,' Court Told As closing arguments continue in Amanda Knox’s murder-conviction appeal, the court heard today that the American student may look like an angel but is actually a "she-devil." Knox initially accused bar owner Patrick Lumumba of killing her roommate, Meredith Kercher, and his lawyer told the court that Knox is both a saint ―and a satanic, diabolic shedevil given to borderline behavior,‖ Reuters reports. Carlo Pacelli also asked the court to judge Knox ―based on her personality when the crime occurred in November 2007,‖ rather than being swayed by the image of a tired, gaunt woman who has spent four years in prison. When Kercher was murdered, Knox ―was a concentrated mix of sex, drugs, and alcohol‖ who ―loved strong emotions and dangerous games,‖ he said.
WOODEN BAT FROM PAGE 46 I was unsure if NANCY was going to bite me or spit on me. I immediately tried to turn her around, however she weighed over three-hundred pounds. I again tried pushing on her to get her turned around. Once at the vehicle she was still yelling. I tried keeping control of her while I had OC spray out. I advised her numerous times to get into the vehicle or I would spray her, NANCY finally got into the car. Deputy JACKSON placed MEGAN in his car and we then transported the three to the Bay County Jail. Deputy PERRY stayed behind taking photographs and statements from the victim, LESLIE. MEGAN was charged with Aggravated Battery. WENDY was charged with Battery and Resisting Officer with out Violence. NANCY was charged with Resisting Officer with out Violence. It should be noted that it was later learned that the club used in the Aggravated Battery was stolen from JONATHAN WESTON a week ago and was documented. I will be following up to confirm the theft on the club.

Upon arrival I spoke to Dorothy Agyei. She advised her ex boyfriend with whom she lived with for six years as a family came to her residence this morning, shoved her down and then got on top of her and pinned her down by placing his hands on her neck. She identified the male as Jai Swinson. According to Dorothy, she and Jai broke up about a month ago after she caught him cheating on her. Jai moved out then back into the residence on Gay Ave for a week before moving out for good. Dorothy says all of Jai's belongings have been taken to his new residence. According to Dorothy, she arrived home this morning and called a male friend to come visit with her. After the male arrived Dorothy and the male were sitting outside. A short while later Jai showed up with a black female Dorothy identified as the one she caught him cheating with. Jai approached her and an argument ensued about the other male being there.
Jai pulled and shoved at Dorothy until the neck strap on her dress broke and she fell to the ground.
Jai then got on top of her and put his hands around her neck and squeezed and told her he will kill her if he catches another man at this house. The incident was broken up by the female that arrived with Jai. After this the still unidentified female punched Dorothy in the face and Dorothy punched her back. Dorothy's room mate Daniel Poncel came outside and broke everything up. Jai and the female left the scene. Dorothy advised me she was terrified he was going to come back and hurt her. I obtained a recorded statement from Dorothy. While speaking with her I located an earring in the dirt which she said was hers from being thrown down. I gave her a domestic violence pamphlet with the appropriate signature page. I then went to where Jai was staying but nobody would answer the door. A short while later Jai showed back up at Dorothy's residence and was taken into custody. At this time Dorothy signed a victim notification form. Jai was taken to the Bay County Jail where he was held. A copy of this report has been faxed to the Salvation Army Shelter.

When I arrived at the concession stand I was met by the complainant, Grady Moore, who led me into the ladies restroom and pointed out several incidents of grafitti on the concrete block walls, the painted stall doors, a card table, and the mirror. The writing appeared to have been done with a black sharpie type marker. I photographed the damages and those photos are attached to this report. Mr. Moore said that he estimates the cost of cleanup and painting to be about $300.00. He also said that they had trespassed a couple of girls recently. One of the pieces of grafitti was "Hanna was here". Another writing was "Bob was here" and a third said "You're a bitch, Mary". The other writings were generic and did not have names in them. Reporting Officer SMITH, JAMES
Incident # 11-10714 On September 19, 2011 at approximately 1645 hours I was dispatched to the Lynn Haven Walmart at 2101 S Hwy 77 in regards to a retail theft. Upon arrival, I made contact with Sarah Day, Asset Protection Associate for Walmart. Sarah Day informed me that she and two other Walmart Associates had observed two white females, later identified by Florida identifications as Ruth Ann Heath and Melissa Nicole Ducker, conceal various items of jewelry and clothing inside their purses and bypass all points of sale on their way to the door on the grocery side of Walmart. Sarah Day provided me with a written sworn witness statement stating these facts as well as receipts to establish value. The witness statement and receipts are attached to the report. Melissa Nicole Ducker and Ruth Ann Heath did openly admit to me that they had taken the merchandise. Heath further stated that she just wanted to cooperate and hopefully receive a court date instead of going to jail. After requesting a wants and warrants check from dispatch, dispatch notified me that Ruth Ann Heath had an active warrant out of Calhoun County. Ruth Heath gave her personal property including her purse and a watch to Melissa Ducker. At that time, I placed Ruth Ann Heath under arrest and escorted Heath along with Melissa Ducker outside to the patrol car in the parking lot. After placing Heath inside the patrol car, I issued Melissa Ducker a Notice To Appear, returned her driver's license, and allowed her to leave. The Notice to Appear is attached to the report.
Ruth Heath was then taken to the Bay County Jail and booked in under F.S.S. 812.015 for Retail Theft. While at the jail, I walked to BCSO Warrants division to obtain a copy of Heath's warrant. Deputy Meeks and Deputy Price made contact with dispatch and advised me that Calhoun County would fax them their copy of the warrant. I walked back to female booking and relayed to Cpl. Helms that the warrant was being faxed, and I provided her with a booking sheet as well as a complaint affidavit for Ruth Heath. A copy of the booking sheet and complaint affidavit is attached to the report. Reporting Officer CASEY, ERIC Incident # 11-10756 On 9/20/11 at about 1430 I was dispatched to the Lynn Haven Police Department to meet with the complainant in reference to a theft. At the station I spoke with Donnie McCormick who said that some unknown person had cut the east side fence on the equipment storage yard of McCormick Construction Company at 1405 Georgia Avenue. The unknown person then removed the copper welding leads from a welder that was in the fenced enclosure. McCormick said that the
leads were about 50 feet long and two leads were stolen. He estimated the value of the copper leads at about $300.00 and repairs to the fence at about $150.00. At this time there are no suspects and no physical evidence was recovered. The property was put on extra patrol for a period of two weeks at Mr. McCormick's request. Reporting Officer SMITH, JAMES
Lynn Haven CASE FROM PAGE 9 Upon searching, Sgt. Hernandez discovered 4 syringes, 2 unopened syringes of Copaxone, and a spoon with white powder residue under the rear driver side seat. Sgt. Hernandez also discovered a straw with white powder residue under the front passenger seat. I mirandized Mr. Smith at approximately 2250 hours. I then as ked him about the dr ug paraphernalia in his vehicle. He told me it is his grandpa's vehicle and that he did not know it was there. I asked if anyone else drives the vehicle and he told me that his brother and uncle use the vehicle also. The C opaxone and dr ug paraphernalia was photographed and turned into the property room for destruction. The syringes were disposed of in the sharps container due to the hazard they present. The spoon and straw were placed into evidence for destruction. Photos of where the items were located and the items out in the open have been attached to this report. The Jeep Grand Cherokee was left with Mr. Smith's grandmother, Jamie Marie Cannon. She said she would leave the vehicle on the roadside until she could get a ride back to it. Joshua Smith was transported to the Bay County Jail to be booked in for violation of probation. Reporting Officer PITTMAN, BENNY

According to the State Attorney’s Office:
Sept. 27, 2011 King Edward Sherman, 39, was convicted at trial in Marianna on Tuesday of burglary of a dwelling and dealing in stolen property. Assistant State Attorney Larry Basford showed jurors that Sherman and John Wayne Lincoln broke into a home at 4580 Bates Road, Greenwood, between midnight and 2 the morning of Nov. 27 and stole a flat-screen television, which they sold later that day. Lincoln then continued his burglary spree by going to the home of Vivian Ford, who he ended up killing when she unexpectedly answered his knock at the door. Lincoln pleaded guilty to his charges, including this burglary with Sherman, and the murder charge and was sentenced to life in prison. Sherman, who has four prior felony convictions, faces up to 30 years behind bars when he is sentenced next month.

NUGGET LOUNGE LARCENY On 9/23/11, I responded to the Gold Nugget Lounge in reference to a stolen wallet. Upon arrival I made contact with the victim who stated she believes her wallet was stolen while inside the club. She stated that a black Coach wallet containing her driver's license and approximately $180.00 in cash was stolen from her purse. She also stated that her purse was on the floor behind where she was sitting so she's unsure of when it took place. After leaving the club is when she noticed it was gone. I made contact with employees but they had just come on duty as the day-shift employees left and were unaware of this incident. A search of the area and the property of the remaining employees (done by management) yielded no results. The current door man indicated that the victim was gone for some time before returning and claiming her wallet was missing. At this time there is not enough evidence to file criminal charges as no suspect was identified, the property was not located nor can it be tracked as no serial numbers are available, and it cannot be clearly determined if the property was stolen at this location since the victim left prior to reporting the theft. Nothing further. -Ofc. David A. Thomasee #305 PCPD 11-12637 11-12637 9/22/2011 12:41:42AM FRANKFORD AVE & W 17TH ST

PCPD 11-12653 11-12653 9/22/2011 11:27:02AM W 15TH ST & LISENBY AVE WANTED PERSON On 09/22/2011 I observed the driver of a beige truck traveling south on Lisenby Avenue not wearing his seatbelt. I conducted a traffic stop on the vehicle at 16th Street and Lisenby Avenue and noticed the passenger was not wearing his seatbelt either. The driver of the vehicle, Bobby Early Johnson, identified himself by a Florida ID card and said "I don't have a license, just an ID." The passenger, Tony Gay, also identified himself through a Florida ID card. A check through FCIC/ NCIC confirmed that Johnson's license was revoked, with 10 prior convictions for DWLSR. It was also discovered that Gay had an active warrant out of Bay County for Child Support (#071662), which was confirmed. I placed both Johnson and Gay under arrest and transported them to the Bay County Jail. A tow waiver form was completed. Prior to releasing the vehicle to a licensed driver, the vehicle was inventoried. Located underneath the driver's seat was a plastic baggie with approximately 6 seeds of what is believed to be marijuana and rolling papers in the ash tray; these items are being turned into the Panama City Police Department for destruction. Both Johnson and Gay were given verbal warnings for the seatbelt violations; Johnson was charged with Felony Driving while licensed suspended/ revoked and Gay was served with the warrant. Of c.

Authorities round up 41 in daylong prescription-drug sting ‌...
Cantaloupe Death Toll Rising, May Hit 16 CDC reports 13 confirmed deaths and 72 illnesses from listeria outbreak
...as reported by the St. Petersburg Times... Phony prescriptions were printed out on a home computer and passed out to "runners" who got them filled at local pharmacies. Then the pain pills were divvied up: half for the runner to keep, half for the drug dealer to sell at street prices that, in some parts of Florida, are up to 30 times what they cost at a pharmacy. Authorities said that's how more than 400,000 30-milligram oxycodone tablets got into the wrong hands during a nine-month span beginning in October 2009. On Monday, several local law enforcement agencies launched a multi-jurisdictional effort to arrest some of the members of a sophisticated Tampa Bay area drug trafficking ring. "These criminals don't know any boundaries and neither should we," said Pasco County Sheriff Chris Nocco. By day's end, officials had located 41 of the 72 people sought in the second phase of Operation No Appointment Necessary. Some were already in local jails; others were arrested in Pinellas, Pasco and Hernando counties. The first phase, which began in March, has so far netted 66 of 94 suspects. And investigators had previously made about 140 other arrests in connection with the case. Monday's sweep was a joint effort between the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office Countywide Diversion Task Force, the Pasco County Sheriff's Office, the Hernando County Sheriff's Office and the New Port Richey Police Department. "A lot of people get involved because of addiction situations," Alfonso said. "They are addicted to these painkillers and they have to feed their addiction by going out and getting these pills and then they sell them as well as using them." Oxycodone pills that cost about $1 apiece at a pharmacy are going for $8 to $15 on the street in the Tampa Bay area, Alfonso said. In more rural areas of North Florida, they can bring as much as $30 a pill.

Health officials say at least 13 people have died from possible listeria illnesses traced to Colorado cantaloupes, making it the deadliest food outbreak in more than a decade. The CDC said today that 72 illnesses and 13 deaths are linked to the tainted fruit. Most of the victims were age 60 or older, with seniors and young children the most susceptible, notes the New York Times. State and local officials are investigating three additional deaths that may be connected. The figures released by the CDC, including newly confirmed deaths in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas, surpassed the number of deaths linked to an outbreak of salmonella in peanuts almost three years ago. Nine people died in that outbreak. Last week, the CDC reported deaths in Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Maryland. The cantaloupes are marketed under the name Rocky Mountain cantaloupes.
a broken mail-box. Upon arrival, I contacted Kenneth and Virgina Tucker. They stated that when they woke up this morning, they saw their mail-box had been knocked down. They said it was fine when they went to bed at approximately 2100 hrs last night. They stated they had not heard anything during the night. I looked at the mail box. It was a plastic one attached to a wooden 2'X4' pole. The pole had been completely broken off at the base. There was a tire track in the grass on the north side next to where the pole had been. I did not see any paint transfer on the mailbox. I moved the mailbox off the roadway at the complainant's request. They stated they would have church members put a new one in for them. I gave them the case number for insurance purposes. Reporting Officer NUSBAUM, K

Solyndra, from page 3 Shaking down opportunities for money using the government as the heavy is a great gig for ex-Democrats with no real marketable business skills. It combines pretending you can harness the sun for energy, with the salesmanship of Bernie Madoff. The cool thing is that you never really have to produce a product people want to buy, just say you will. Like Chrysler, when Obama circumvented 200 years of bankruptcy law to benefit them, Billionaire George Kaiser (the original investor in Solyndra) finagled a deal where his investment gets paid back in front of the United States’ $535 billion loan. Coincidence I am sure, but he was one of the biggest donors to Obama in 2008.
Statement from Governor Rick Scott Regarding Rosh Hashanah SEPTEMBER 28, 2011
Tallahassee, Fla. – “Tonight at sundown marks the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, a new year for the Jewish people. This sacred time also begins the period of High Holy Days, a time of spiritual renewal and reflection for many Floridians. “During this season, I am reminded of the joys of faith and family and the universal quest to grow closer to our Maker. May the call of the shofar remind us all of the importance of tradition and values in these challenging times. “The High Holy Days should also remind us of the invaluable freedoms we enjoy as Americans and the brave men and women who protect those freedoms at home and abroad. It is also important to remember the contributions the Jewish community make to our state and nation’s diverse heritage and spiritual makeup.
“Ann and I wish all Floridians observing the High Holy Days a happy and healthy New Year. L’shanah tova!”
Also, on Monday information came out that the Democrat Party in California was listed as a creditor of the bankruptcy filing. The Dems in California took exception; they are usually viewed as a liability. Of course they put this business in California, a solidly liberal Democrat strong hold with the worst unemployment rate in the country to show for it. The unemployment would be worse in California had they not had be boom of health food stores turned in to marijuana dispensaries the last few years. The only growing business there is company relocation concerns helping corporation’s exodus the state. California also funds college for illegal immigrants helping them realize the dream of going from an employed farm worker, to collecting unemployment as a Cal Berkley grad in Art History—the new ―American Dream‖ under Obama. Obama has long preached the green energy religion to his followers, but I wonder; is he the televangelist himself, smoothly snookering saps out of their money, or the mark who sends his paycheck in to the preachers on TV because they are convincing? Like with tent preachers, God is a great partner: he is a powerful influence on customers and does not take a cut of the tithes. It is similar with government shake down artists: the government is a powerful partner with free money, and only takes political kickbacks. Solyndra is not about wasted money and political payback. It is about the scope and role of government, and the notion that they should pick winners and losers in what used to be our private sector. Does Obama know more than 310 million Americans, and 7 billion people worldwide about what we want and what we are willing to pay for it? Let the marvel that is the markets do this for us, it has done a fantastic job so far and not only does it not cost us anything, and you can tax it—Obama has to like that.
