5/9/07 -- Payne County, OK - Ever see those signs that read, "Never mind the gun, beware of the DOG!" Seems a Stillwater man could use one of those ~ Oh yeah, and a good lawyer.
According to court records, on March 12th a black male knocked on the apartment door of Alvin Henderson. When Henderson opened the door, the man identified himself as a gas utility employee and asked to enter the apartment.
Henderson explained that his apartment did not utilize gas and told the man to leave.
A few minutes later the man returned. When Henderson opened the door "the male pushed his way into the apartment." This is probably where you're thinking to yourself, "Oh man, this is gonna be a really bad day for Henderson." Not, so (well, not yet) as Henderson happens to own two pit bulls. Reportedly, the "two pit bulls attacked the male intruder and began biting him."
Not one to willingly become pit bull chow, the intruder allegedly produced a knife and began stabbing the two dogs as three females helped him retreat to his car to seek medical treatment.
You'd think the story would end there with "would-be robber thwarted (and almost eaten) by pit bulls arrested at hospital."
You'd be wrong.
Police later identified the would-be robber as Keith Dwayne Alston, 36, of Ponca City.
Alston's three female companions were identified as Remmessia Coburn, Lindsey Springer, and Calinda Lee.
Reportedly, the foursome said that had traveled to Henderson's apartment to check on a female friend they feared was being abused by Henderson. When Henderson denied Alston entry, they took it upon themselves to force their way in.
Further investigation may prove the entire ordeal had more to do with drugs than friends being overly concerned.
Seems a witness saw one of women (Springer) hide a bag of marijuana and cocaine before taking Alston to the hospital. A search of the getaway car produced more drugs, paraphernalia and a bloody knife.
Police obtained a search warrant for Henderson's apartment. There they found a marijuana trafficker's starter kit ~ several packed bags of pot, scales and baggies.
Police have asked for charges to be filed against everyone involved.
Last week Alston was charged in Payne County with entering a building with unlawful intent, assault and battery and carrying a concealed weapon.
Personally, we here at SideBarBlog would love the jury to stand up in court and proclaim... "Your honor, we the jury think it was Alston, in the apartment, with the bloody Knife." Can you tell we are a fan of the board game CLUE?

Noble Man Arrested for BB Gun Driveby
5/7/07 -- Noble, OK - Does firing a BB gun from your car at another equal a drive-by, road rage or just plain stupidity? Well, you're in luck, cuz we can ask Noble resident Allen Ray Admire, 29.Seems on May 1st Admire was just cruising along SE 156th when he decided to point a BB gun out his car window and allegedly fired it at another vehicle behind him. As the vehicle attempted to pass Admire, he fired again (no mention if he yelled "Yeeee Hawwww!" while crushing a beer can against his forehead).
As luck would have it, the victim spotted a patrol car and flagged the officer down. The officer in turn flagged Admire down.
While searching Admire's vehicle, a BB gun was found under the passenger's seat. In addition to the gun, a "cane sword" was also found (WOW, people really do buy that ninja crap at the mall).
Seems Admire's memory was a little sketchy as to when and where he pointed the BB gun. Thankfully, Admire could count on one of the two ladies riding in his vehicle to help him out.
Milissa Craumer told police that Admire did indeed shoot at the vehicle while it was behind him and once again as it passed.
Admire was arrested and then released on a personal recognizance bond (aka, get out of jail free).
The next day Admire was charged with felony discharging a weapon from a moving vehicle and assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.

Loud Music & a Bad Attitude Gets Newalla Man Locked Up
5/7/07 -- Newalla, OK - Seems a Newalla man was rocking out rather loudly and wasn't about to let no cop tell him otherwise.
According to court records, on April 28th a Cleveland County Sheriff's Deputy was dispatched to investigate a loud noise complaint at 31 Barker Drive in Newalla.
The owner of the residence, Dale Beesley, 53, wasn't up to being a good host. When asked by the officer to turn the music down, Beesley reportedly replied, "I don't think I'm going to do that."
Mrs. Beesley however was much more hospitable and agreed to lower the volume. At that the deputy left.
Within minutes, the Beesley's neighbors were calling 9-1-1 again complaining that not only had the music been turned back up, but Beesley was now yelling profanities, banging on their shared fence and flashing his cars headlights into their home (as witnessed by the deputy when he returned).
When the officer asked Beesley to once again turn down the music he allegedly replied, "We don't have to!"
At that Beesley was placed under arrest after being forcefully taken to the ground and placed into custody.
While being transported to the county jail, Beesley reportedly beat his head against the patrol car's window until it broke loose from its frame.
Last week, Beesley was charged in Cleveland County with disturbing the peace and malicious injury to property.
Beesley was released on a $1,000 bond.
Beesley's next date with the judge is set for June 12th.
