Assault, Drugs and Pit Bulls OH MY!

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?

Cable Installer Steals Crescent Woman's Cash

5/7/07 -- Crescent, OK - A Crescent woman orders cable services and is relieved of $227 in cash by greedy installer.

Seems that until recently Jerry Lee Jackson II, 25, was working as a contract cable installer for Pioneer Telephone.

On January 13th Jackson and another man were installing cable TV and DSL on behalf of Pioneer and Tri Star Communications in the home of Amy M. of Crescent.

According to court records, during the install Amy was called away to pick up her child at school due to an ice storm.

When Amy returned, and after the workers had left, she noticed $227 was missing from her purse. It just so happens that her purse was kept under a table next to where Jackson had installed a cable outlet.

Amy called police, who in turn contact Pioneer Telephone. Pioneer explained that the installers were actually employees of Tri Star.

When police contacted the owner of Tri Star, Todd Hoskins, he advised he would have the two employees report to the police station with him and that if necessary he would personally pay for a lie detector test to be performed on his employees to determine the truth.

When Hoskins arrived at the police station he gave the investigating officer $227 to be given to Amy. Hoskins stated he did not want his company's integrity jeopardized by actions of one of his employees.

After questioning, Jackson reportedly confessed to taking the money, stating he needed it for groceries.

last week, petit larceny charges were filed against Jackson in Logan County.

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.

OU Student Charged with Felony Theft of US Mail

5/7/07 -- Norman, OK - A University of Oklahoma student is captured by passersby, arrested and charged with a felony after allegedly stealing U.S. mail.

According to court records, Michael Eliot King, 26, was playing his own version of 'post office' in the 800 block of Fairway Drive on May 1st.

Witnesses in the area claim they saw King open a mailbox and "take 15-20 pieces of mail" (man, we thought we got alot of junk mail). King then allegedly placed the ill-gotten mail under his jacket and tried to leave the area. Unfortunately for King, the witnesses had other ideas and "pursued and apprehended" King and called police.

When police arrived they found the mail and glass pipe in King's jacket.

The next day, King was charged with felony burglary and receiving stolen property.

King was released after posting a $10,000 bond.

King's next court appearance is set for May 15th.

According to the university of Oklahoma Web site, King is listed as a freshman and resides in the 800 block of Cardan Place in Moore.

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.

Norman Woman Turns Herself in for Embezzlement

5/7/07 -- Norman, OK - Here at SideBarBlog we've reported on lots of cases of embezzlement by an employee. In every single case the crook was outed by security - that is until now.

Meet Beverly C. Wyatt, 53, of Norman. Seems until January 22nd Wyatt was working at a Pizza Hut in Noble. That is until her conscience got the best of her (don't you hate when that happens) and she quit her job and admitted to stealing from her employer.

According to court records, Wyatt admitted to stealing the cash from the nightly deposits and then making it up the next day.

Wyatt reportedly did not explain why she took the money. Wyatt did however state her daughter was having surgery soon and that it would be better if she just quit.

Prosecutors alleged Wyatt stole almost $4,500.

Last week Wyatt was charged with felony embezzlement.

Granny Bilks Antique Vendors Out of Thousands

4/27/07 -- Stillwater, OK - Just when you thought nothing was as sweet, innocent and trustworthy as a silver haired granny - she turns out to be public enemy number one!

According to court records, Arlene Jo Brooks, 72, had a job at the Antique Mall of Stillwater.

Brooks' duties included selling vendor booths and collecting cash from the items sold - and boy did she know how to collect it!

Seems Brooks was allegedly working a little scam of her own to net thousands (hey, knitting needles, soft foods, and Depends are expensive).

Reportedly, Brooks' scam began to unravel after she rented booth #85 to a Mr. Burruss.

Burruss noticed that approximately $1,795.10 worth of goods had been sold from his unmanned booth, but he had yet to be paid by Brooks.

Burruss reported the apparent theft to police. While investigating the alleged crime, police soon realized Burruss was not the only victim of this silver haired crime spree.

A quick tally showed that 29 other antique mall vendors had not been paid just over $12,000 for items sold.

The Antique Mall of Stillwater is now closed and Brooks is facing felony embezzlement charges.

"Want Some of This?" Lands Penis Wielding Man in Jail

4/27/07 -- Cushing, OK - What is this country coming to when a man cannot even urinate off his own porch while waving his penis at passersby?

Meet the penis pointer in question, Kelly Eugene Guinn, 43, of Cushing.

Seems this past Tuesday, Guinn was minding his own business (#1 to be exact) when off-duty police officer Tully Folden happened to stroll by.

Folden couldn't help but notice Guinn was perched on the edge of his porch and urinating into yonder bushes.

Guinn, noticing Folden, promptly turned, "waving his penis" and stated "you want some of this?"

Apparently he did, as Folden placed Guinn under arrest (I bet he won't be repeating that offer while in jail).

On Wednesday, Guinn was charged with misdemeanor outraging the public decency.

C'mon, we were hoping for something more original like "assault with a friendly weapon" or even "hand to gland combat."

Hotels Have A lot of Ammenities - But You Can't Take Them With You!

4/27/07 -- Enid, OK - C'mon, we've all done it. You know, stayed the night in a hotel and you just couldn't resist taking those cute little shampoo bottles, individually wrapped soaps or heck, even a towel or two.

Seems an Enid man was thinking bigger than toiletries.

Meet Michael Scott Gehring, 28, a former guest of the Southgate Motel in Enid.

According to court records, Gehring decided to checkout February 13th with a few more items than he checked-in with.

Reportedly, Gehring was seen loading the hotel's bedding, towels, 24" color TV, microwave, refrigerator and space heaters into his Lincoln (man, my dad was right, they really do have alot of trunk space).

In addition to the 'freebies' Gehring made off with, he reportedly did $300 in damage to his room.

Last week Gehring was charged in Garfield County with felony grand larceny and maliciousness.

Gehring's bond has been set at $10,000.

Pump Pirate Aids in Own Arrest

4/27/07 -- Moore, OK - It's no secret that gasoline is expensive. The super sexy SideBarBlog mini van costs about $45 to fill up! But high prices at the pump are no excuse for criminal stupidity.

Meet Karen Lynn Henderson, 46, of Moore, Oklahoma.

Seems Henderson was in need of some go-go juice earlier this month. So she stopped in to the Murphy USA gas station on 19th in Moore.

Henderson pumped $10.04 in gas. She then realized she didn't have any money on her.

According to the station attendant, Henderson offered to leave her Oklahoma State driver's license as security so she could go home, get some money and return.

The problem? Henderson never came back. Or at least not before the attendant's patience wore thin and he called police.

Last week Henderson was charged in Cleveland County with misdemeanor violation of the pump piracy act.

Here's what we at the SideBarBlog don't get - If you're gonna steal gas, first, fill up the tank, second, don't leave your ID behind. Lastly, in case Henderson just thought she could get away with pilfering $10.04 of gas in exchange for her ID - Someone needs to tell Henderson it costs $10 just to replace a lost driver's license in Oklahoma!

Trucker Absconds with $50K in CVC Fliers

4/27/07 -- Stillwater, OK - Seems a trucker recently made of with a trailer full of fliers and hasn't been seen since.

It all started oddly enough on Friday the 13th of this month. That's when Isaac Nyachwaya Simiti, 31, of Panther Expedite trucking and Preprint Logistics pulled into Quebecor World to pickup a load of fliers to be delivered to Texas.

According to court papers, everything was going fine, and after the 375,000 fliers were loaded into Simiti's truck he checkout and drove off with them.

Reportedly, Simiti returned soon thereafter claiming his truck was "over weight."

When a "resolution was not reached," a decision was made to offload the fliers.

Obviously that was not acceptable to Simit and he drove away with the cargo, valued at $50,000.

Investigators inquired to Simit's employer and they informed police Simit was considered absent without leave and that they wished the load to be considered stolen.

Simit's employer explained to police that the missing load of fliers was their responsibility and could cost their company the multi-million dollar contract with CVC Pharmacy.

Simit is described as residing in Arlington, Texas.

Felony embezzlement charges have been filed against Simit.

OSU Student Charged with Breaking & Entry

4/27/07 -- Norman, OK - An OSU student is facing some serious charges after allegedly breaking into his ex-girlfriend's home last week.

According to police, Brandon Keith Stinnett, 26, was upset that his girlfriend (Kaycie) had ended their relationship. Reportedly, Stinnett returned to his former girlfriend's home at about 2:00am, broke out a bedroom window and entered the residence. Kaycie, fearing for her safety, called police.

When police arrived they found Stinnett in the living room and Kaycie hiding in another part of the house.

Stinnett is now charged with breaking and entering.

It's Hard Out There for a Thief

4/27/07 -- Norman, OK - A Midwest City man's attempt to return to the scene of the crime to pilfer more merchandise results in self mutilation.

According to court records, James Thomas Pascoe, 22, of Midwest City is a big fan of the Super Target in Norman. I mean, who isn't? They've got low prices, a wide selection of merchandise and those pesky asset protection dudes with their dozens of strategically placed security cameras.

Seems on March 6th Pascoe was seen, on archived security video, to allegedly steal a Cobra radar detector, while concealing his activities "while hiding behind other merchandise."

Not content with his latest shopping spree, Pascoe returned to the Target on March 29th where he was quickly recognized by security.

According to police, Pascoe was followed on foot and via camera as he made his way around the store.

Pascoe's first stop was in hardware, where he "grabbed some razor blades" and a pair of snipes(c'mon you can't expect a guy to bring his own larceny tools).

Pascoe then made a b-line to the electronics section. There he grabbed an LCD remote and was seen "using the razor blades ... to cut the remote control out of the package."

As luck would have it, Pascoe, who is obviously not as sharp as the razor blade he was using, sliced open his finger and began bleeding.

Instead of calling for a "bio hazard cleanup on aisle 4," Pascoe did what any self-respecting thief would do and headed straight to men's wear.

There Pascoe reportedly used "several clothing items (2 pairs of jeans and 1 shirt) to wipe the blood" shooting from his finger.

Then it hit him - Pascoe realized Target has a first aid section! So, he dropped the now gangsterized clothing and opened a box of large Band-Aids.

Completely famished from his high-jinks, Pascoe reportedly headed to the deli section, bought some food and left the store.

Pascoe was identified in a police photo lineup and allegedly confessed when confronted by police.

Last week Pascoe was charged with larceny of merchandise and malicious injury (to Target's property, not himself).

For fun we decided to total up Pascoe's shopping spree;

1. Cobra Radar Detector $99
2. Razors $1.97
3. Snips $7.99
4. LCD Remote $79.99
5. 2 Pairs of Jeans and 1 T-Shirt $71.97

Grand Total (not including tax and his lunch) $260.92

In honor of Pascoe, below we've included the following compilation of other shoplifters who ended up having a pretty bad day too!

OU Student Charged with Embezzling from Target

4/27/07 -- Norman, OK - Who doesn't enjoy getting a gift card from a big box retailer like Target? I mean they carry everything! Unfortunately, they may carry some time in the slammer for one OU student.

Seems Katrina Ann Smith was working for Target, as a cashier, until recently.

According to court records, Smith was a little too tempted by the plethora of gift cards near her register (hey, we understand, they can be like a siren's song to the shopping challenged).

Seems that from February to March of this year, Smith treated herself to over $450 worth of gift card giving (make that receiving).

Prosecutors allege that Smith confessed when questioned by Target loss prevention.

Last week, Smith was charged in Cleveland County with a single misdemeanor count of embezzlement.

According to records at the University of Oklahoma, Smith is currently enrolled as a junior in the College of Mass Communications.

And, according to her personal website, she is very opposed to genocide in Darfur (Western Sudan).

No word if Smith was planning to use her $450 in ill-gotten gift cards to feed the starving children of Darfur, or just buy some new lip gloss!

Norman Woman Charged with Assaulting Husband with Her Car

4/27/07 -- Norman, OK - A Norman woman is facing several criminal charges after she allegedly tried to run over her husband in a convenience store parking lot.

According to court records, on April 23, Heather Linn Allison, 32, had been drinking when she and her husband got into an argument at the Circle K on West Main in Norman.

At some point, Allison allegedly tried to run over her husband, striking him with her vehicle and causing injury. Allison fled the scene but was arrested a short time later.

Allison is now charged with felony assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, leaving the scene of an accident with injury, DUI and driving without a license.

Allison was released after posting a $20,000 bond.

Allison has a May 8th date with the judge.

Man Robbed in Norman Hotel May Have Some Explaining to Do

4/24/07 -- Norman, OK - An Independence MO. man is reportedly robbed of his money, personal items and his vehicle while staying at a Norman hotel. Court records shed light on and cast questions of the facts around the case - begging the question - Was the victim rolled by a hooker he had hired?

The story was originally reported by the Norman Transcript and other media outlets as a simple robbery after the victim, James Sprake, allegedly answered a knock to his hotel room door.

The robbery occurred in the early morning hours of March 22nd.

Sprake told police that three people entered his room and robbed him at gun point.

The three then drove away in Sprake's 2003 Lincoln Navigator.

The alleged robbers were described as two males and a teenage female.

While media reports would have you believe Sprake was the victim of an anonymous robbery, recently released court records show an interesting 'relationship' between Sprake and at least one of his robbers.

All three alleged robbers have been identified as Ashley Dawn Loftis, 18, Zachary Ryan Suter (Yukon, OK), 31, Steven Alexis Sanchez (Moore, OK), 21.

According to the probable cause affidavit, "Between the 19th and 22nd days of March 2007, James Sprake (victim) had an agreement with an Ashley Dawn Loftis - for her to 'be his girlfriend and hang out together' for an undetermined period of time, with the possibility of Loftis accompanying Sprake to his final destination in New Mexico."

The report goes on to state that Sprake "provided a lot of cash to Loftis" and that they visited several Oklahoma casinos.

The report also details that Sprake was introduced to Suter and Sanchez by Loftis, as friends.

On the morning of March 22nd, Loftis left Sprake and had Suter and Sanchez pick her up at the Super 8 Motel, where she and Sprake had been staying and return her to Oklahoma City.

Sprake, along with Suter and Sanchez, allegedly plotted to return to the Norman area. There Loftis would contact Sprake and tell him she had decided to go with him to New Mexico and could she come over.

Sprake agreed, and at about 8:00 a.m. Loftis returned to Sprake's room with Suter and Sanchez in tow.

When Sprake opened the door the trio walked in.

According to police, once inside the room, "Loftis advises Sprake that he 'owes her' and demands the keys to his vehicle as well as cash." At that point, Sanchez allegedly produces a handgun.

Sprake gives up his cash, car keys, cell phone and a briefcase. To delay Sprake from calling the police, one of the robbers removes the hotel room phone handset and placed it into the briefcase as they left.

The next day Loftis and Sanchez are arrested.

On April 18th all three were charged with felony crimes.

Loftis was charged with felony conspiracy to commit a robbery with a firearm, robbery with a firearm and larceny of a vehicle. Bond has been set at $25,000.

Sanchez was charged with felony conspiracy to commit a robbery with a firearm, robbery with a firearm and possession of a firearm. Bond has been set at $25,000.

Suter was charged with felony conspiracy to commit a robbery with a firearm and robbery with a firearm. Bond has been set at $50,000.
