From the Santa Clara Police Department “Police Blotter”
The suspect parked his own vehicle at a car wash. He made contact with the manager and handed him his business card. The suspect got into a freshly cleaned customer’s car that was coming out of the other end of the wash. He fled in the victim [sic] vehicle. A few hours later, S.J.P.D. located the car and the suspect. The suspect was arrested and booked into County Jail. His bizarre actions appear to be methamphetamine related.
Have you ever been hit by a sausage? No? Then maybe you shouldn’t be so quick to judge authorities in Manchester, England who are prosecuting a 12-year-old boy for throwing a cocktail sausage at a neighbor. And it hit him on the shoulder! And this crazy judge said he couldn’t believe such a case had been brought before him! What the hell is wrong with those English judges? Clearly this boy must be stopped.

No, you didn’t say these things Dr. Lau, did you?
When asked by Patient A if the cramping she had experienced was normal, Dr. Lau said “I wouldn’t know, I’m not a woman.” [So I guess he would know if cramping is normal for insensitive, unprofessional clods?]
When asked by Patient A if the sex of the baby could be determined from the ultrasound, Dr. Lau said “I wouldn’t know, I’ve never been pregnant.”
Patient B said the only question Dr. Lau asked her was: “If she was pregnant, would she be keeping the baby?”
Oh, and Dr. Lau recorded that various tests had been performed on Patients A, B,C and D. Think they were done? Nope. And it turns out Patient A had chlamydia, which can cause eye infections and pneumonia in babies.
What do you think happened to Ontario, Canada Dr. Alvin Lau? He was suspended for a year. Just a bit light, I’d say. I’m sure Patients A, B, C and D would agree.
All Randy Miller ever wanted to be was a soldier. He achieved that in 2004, when he enlisted and was assigned to the elite 82nd Airborne at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He volunteered to be a paratrooper, not the safest of choices. He made 22 jumps and, along the way, picked up two Army Achievement Medals and a Combat Infantryman Badge.
One of the jumps didn’t go so well. Miller’s parachute didn’t open, and the backup only partially opened. He hit the ground pretty hard after falling from 900 feet, but walked away, though not uninjured. He didn’t know it, but he had torn the meniscus in his knee.
Then he was shipped off to Iraq, where he served from the winter of 2005 until the spring of 2006. Upon his return, his knee having gotten much worse (the meniscus tear increased to four times it’s original size) he went to a bunch of military doctors, none of whom did anything.
Huh? What? Oh, sorry. I was sleeping, much like Rockingham County, New Hampshire Judge Patricia Coffey. She beat that rap, but won’t be able to snooze her way through these latest allegations. See, her husband was disbarred in 2005, and the state has been trying to collect legal fees relating to his disbarment. The Judicial Conduct Committee filed a complaint against Judge Coffee alleging that she helped create a trust to put her husband’s assets beyond the reach of creditors. Although she denied the charges, she did admit that the timing appears compromising. Really? There will be a hearing on the charges in late September. You can read more here.
Ocean City, Maryland resident Richard Brueckner disappeared 12 years ago, right when Richard Thelander was “born.” Now these are just the allegations against Brueckner/Thelander (as reported in The Maryland Coast Dispatch), but it sure doesn’t look real good:
The charges against Brueckner … include about half a dozen cases where he forged his ex-wife’s name to obtain credit cards, which he quickly maxed out to their limits. The amounts ranged from around $5,000 on the low side to as high as $14,000 on another with several different amounts obtained in cash and merchandize on credit cards in between.
He also cleared out several of the couple’s other accounts and holdings, leaving his wife facing bankruptcy and a years-long struggle to clear up the financial mess.
This poor woman, Philly family court Judge Lisa Richette, is really having a tough time. At right is her son, Lawrence Richette, who was arrested for assaulting his 78-year-old mother. Yup, that’s Lawrence on the right there, letting it all hang out. Said Mr. Richette: “This is what I think of TV news.”
As for Judge Richette, here are a few other incidents she’s been on the receiving end of:
While sitting in her car last August, she was punched by a woman who said the Judge hit her vehicle (which Judge Richette denied).
A purse snatcher punched her and knoced her down in January 2005.
She was beaten and robbed in February 1987.
Damn, if it weren’t for bad luck …..
Unless you’re a shut-in, at some point in your life, you’ve probably been frustrated over an airport baggage issue. It is unlikely, though, that you reacted as Congressman Bob Filner allegedly did at Dulles Airport a couple days ago. Per the airport police, Filner, an 8-term Congressman who is Chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee, allegedly
attempted to enter an area authorized for airline employees only, pushed aside the employee’s outstretched arm and refused to leave the area when asked by an airline employee.
Per United Airlines, the incident took place after Filner “experienced a delay in claiming his bag.” Because the employee took his complaint to a Loudoun County Magistrate, Filner must appear in court on October 2, 2007 to answer the assault and battery charges. And what does the Congressman have to say about the matter?
Congressman Bob Filner is on his way to Iraq, visiting our troops, and will have a full statement when he returns. Suffice it to say now, that the story that has appeared in the press is factually incorrect _ and the charges are ridiculous.
I’m guessing that, no matter what happened, nothing will happen.
Okay, so she didn’t exactly marry the monkey (though she’s paying $1,300/month to support him.) Rockville, Maryland resident Elyse Gazewitz was on trial yesterday for illegally having a monkey as a pet. Since the animal was taken from her in May, she has had to pay boarding fees of $1,300/month to the Catoctin Wildlife Preserve in Thurmont, Maryland. Don’t worry, though, the judge granted her visitation rights. You can read more here.
They both sew with a steady hand, right? Somehow, a 30-year-old Indian man posed as a doctor for almost a year without raising even an eyebrow. So how was he caught? A security guard overheard the “doctor” telling a patient that he did not know the way to the pathology lab! And what did the man say when he was caught? He said he was a surgeon in India, had a applied for a job, and was just wandering around waiting for word on his application. But when the police checked him out, they learned that he works in a women’s tailor shop! No doubt that’s where he made (really) the doctor’s uniform that he wore around the hospital.
