Birdsong's Law Blog

Hello Readers — Hazel Taylor wrote to me earlier this week and commented that she like the content on my blog.  She wanted me to share with you an article she wrote on her blog about Hollywood criminals.  See below:

Hi Leonard,

Twitter is online crooks’ new tool according to a recent news report.

Cybercriminals are rapidly using Twitter — the popular Web-messaging service — to direct users to Web sites that sell pornography and fake drugs and trigger promotions for fake anti-virus subscriptions.  Anyone can sign up anonymously for a Twitter account and begin pushing unfiltered messages.

Knoxville, TN: This just in for the upcoming Father’s Day.  Desmond Hatchett, a 29-year old in Knoxville  has fathered 21 children with 11 women — a probable U.S. record.  The children range in age from newborn to 11.  Hatchett’s extended family came to light recently when authorities took him to court for failing to pay child support.  He said 21 kids are enought, adding, I’m done!”

Gosh..we sure hope so.  What a lot of mouths to feed.

Pennsylvania:  This one is about heavy petting.  A 66 year old Pennsylvania man was arrested after he admitted to his relatives that he was having  a sexual relationship with the family dog.  Robert John Ward — a previously convicted sex offender — was jailed after Police performed a human rape kit exam on the canine to prove that she had been molested!

SICKO!

Vassalboro, ME:  A waitress at a topless doughnut shop in Maine was spotted “in uniform” — meaning out of her shirt — away from the business, authorities said.  A state trooper was sent to the Grand View Topless Coffee Shop in Vassalboro after someone called in a complaint.  No one was charged but the matter  has been turned over to the DA for review.

Sure!  The DA needs to examine the photographic evidence.

Birdsong brings you more weird criminal law stories…

Aloha, OR: An Oregon man spent Memorial Day of 2009, in jail after dialing 911 to complain that a McDonald’s worker was rude and did not give him an orange juice he ordered.  Raibin Osman, 20, was arrested for improper use of the emergency telephone number.  Sheriff’s Sgt. David Thompson said Osman ignored deputies who told him the emergency number wasn’t to be used for straightening out fast food orders.  A McDonald’s employee also called 911 during the incident to complain that Osman and the people with him were blocking the drive-thru lane.

Dumbkopf!

Tampa, FL: Police in Tampa arrested a man who was so drunk he  had his 12 year old son drive home.  Unfortunately,

Georgia: A Georgia woman was nabbed after she had two men threaten another man into having sex with her.  The victim initially rebuffed Edie Jean Wells’ offer of sex for money, but then did have relations with her after her accomplices went inside his home and threatened him, police said.  The trio then swiped an ATM card from him, and held him captive for several hours before his paycheck cleared and they were able to withdraw cash from his account.

…talk about desperation!

Wellington, New Zealand: A couple whose bank accidentally handed their gas station business a $6.1 million credit line has fled New Zealand with $2.3 million in cash taken from the account, the bank said recently.  Interpol is leading a search for Leo Gao and Kara Yang, believed to have fled to Hong Kong or China with Yang’s daughter, Leena,7.

Sounds like an ‘accidental” heist…they will never be heard from again.
