Crime Wire Weekly 11/13/26 | California’s Death Row Debacle, Airport Bathroom Breaks & Citibank Shooting

0:16 Hey, everyone. Welcome back to CrimeWire Weekly. A little look at some of the topics we're going to be covering today. There has been a plea deal denial in Florida, and the offer was a cheesesteak from the defendant in this case. That's kind of a crazy story there. Solid bartering method, huh? Right. Well, it didn't work out the way he wanted. We'll talk about that. A teen pops off literally at a mom and daughter in Louisiana. We're going to talk about that. Another case of urination at an airport this time rather than a concert. I've never had trouble with urinating like these people seem to have all the time.

0:56 They got to go bad in public. And so we're going to talk about that in California. A governor commutes all the death sentences for all of the people on death row to life in prison. Of course, we're talking about California Governor Gavin Newsom. So we'll discuss that. His reasons for that in his mind. And we're also going to talk about some lustful lawbreakers today. We're going to talk about Veterans Day is coming up and we're going to highlight Louisiana's oldest living veteran on today's episode. Really cool. Want to stay around for that. So much more today. I'm Jim Chapman.

1:37 And I'm Kelly Jennings. Welcome to Crime Wire Weekly. Kelly, any thoughts before. We get into it? I do. Actually, I want to give Kelsey Wilson a shout out. That's one of our longtime listeners, and I know I've spoken to her a lot online. But if you remember last week, I was talking about Neosho, one of the places that we went to in one of our stories. And I was like, that doesn't sound like it fits. Like, why is it Neosho? Well, she actually messaged me and said that that is a large Native American community. area there as far as population like they have a lot of tribes and casinos and things there it's kind of close to oklahoma and so i uh i was glad she actually answered me because it did strike me as odd and now i have the answer i looked up what neosho means and it said it either means clear cold water or muddy water so it's opposite i know but that's what it told me on the internet I can't confirm nor deny which one is either accurate or not.

2:29 There you go. Well, Native Americans. Thank you for educating me, though, because I didn't know. Well, now that you say that, it does sound like a Native American name when you kind of look back on it. It makes sense. And Missouri is a Native American area. So it would all make sense. Looking back on it now. Yeah, before you were. Is that what you're saying? It was so confused because to me it almost sounded like it was an Asian type of thing, like Neosho. Like, remember like Tamagotchi? I was thinking about like Tamagotchi or like Urashima. I don't know. I was thinking something like that. And I'm just not very bright, I guess, because I was way wrong.

3:12 Yeah. Well, glad we got that straightened out. Thank you, Kelsey. Thank you, Kelsey. So we're not going to go to Neosho today. We're going to go to Florida, though. We're going to go to Tampa, Florida. And a 70-year-old, 74-year-old blind Florida man stunned a courtroom by offering to plead guilty to murder in exchange for a Philly cheesecake, fries, and a Pepsi. Wait, a cheesecake or a cheesesteak? Cheesesteak. Oh. Cheesesteak. I've never heard of a Philly. Well, I guess they would have cheesecakes. Maybe. In this case, it was a cheesesteak, fries, and a Pepsi. He was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison for killing and dismembering a woman whose remains were dumped in Tampa Bay. Robert Kessler, representing himself during jury selection in Hillsborough Circuit Court, responded to Judge Nick Nazarian's suggestion of an open plea that would result in life in prison and be done with it. After a pause, Kessler said, I'll do that for a Philly cheesecake and cheese steak, an order of fries and a Pepsi. He then clarified a Philly cheese steak with onions on it, mayonnaise, fries and a 20 ounce Pepsi, adding that the arrangement would save taxpayers the cost of a trial. How thoughtful of him. Nazarenean, who had never heard such a request in nearly 40 years on the bench, rejected it outright, saying, I can't obviously give food to people who enter a plea. That would be wrong in a thousand ways. I can guarantee

4:46 you that you can have lunch today, but I can't guarantee what it would be. Kessler later withdrew the offer, telling the court, just pick a jury. I want this cheese sandwich. If I get the sandwich, then I could go for it. but I'm not going to get it. He eventually accepted counsel and did not always attend the trial in person. Now, this case stemmed from a November 2021 killing of Stephanie Overholtz, who was a 47-year-old mother of three. She was from Erie, Pennsylvania, and she had met Kessler at a McDonald's and was staying at his home because she had nowhere else to go. Her young daughter later testified that she heard the two arguing on the night of November 5th. and she heard Overholtz reportedly demanded money to leave. The next morning, the house smelled different, and Kessler claimed she had left with a boyfriend. Fisherman and others soon discovered her dismembered remains in McKay Bay, which this is going to get a little graphic, but they discovered a right leg with a distinctive tattoo of three hearts and the names of her sons, Sean, Greg, and Zach. That was recovered first, followed by other body parts.

6:01 Prosecutors said she was stabbed four times, including fatally in the neck, and cut into at least seven pieces before being discarded in the water. DNA matching her blood was found in Kessler's home, on a mattress, kitchen cabinet, shoes, etc., and in a vehicle. Witnesses reported seeing a man matching his description, dumping bags and bins into the bay. and surveillance linked him to her abandoned car. A jury convicted Kessler of second-degree murder and abuse of a deadly body after roughly 12 hours of deliberations over two days. On November 4, 2026, the judge sentenced him to life in prison plus 15 years. In its sentencing, the judge did address the brutality of the crime, saying you had to go full Hannibal Lecter and cut the body up in at least seven different places. That's like movie-like. That's like unheard of. And so the Philly cheesecake deal or cheesesteak could have saved this whole thing, but he went through the trial and he was still found guilty. And I know why the judge couldn't do that because you legally can't. Right.

7:14 I mean, you're not going to barter for the– I mean, it would open up an appeal right there. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, this went the right way, the correct way. I'm glad. It looks like they did a solid investigation on it. But did it say when the murder occurred exactly? Like, has it been a long time since, you know, this happened and they're just now getting. Well, he was caught pretty quick. It doesn't say in the order. People had to look it up. Yeah, it just seems like old to be... getting all that type of work done, but I guess anger and. And I apologize. Uh, November, 2021, 21. Okay. Wow. So he was still in his sixties whenever he, um, he did this.

7:58 Yeah. Um, wow. It just takes forever for the, for the wheels of justice to turn. And then now all of a sudden give me a cheesesteak and I'll, and I'll plead, you know, just that's, that's her poor family, but I'm glad, I'm glad that it's, it was solved. It was solved the right way. And that, um, you know, that he's going to prison. That's not somebody we need out on the streets. Right. All right. Let's come right here at home to Baker, Louisiana, where an 18-year-old Baker man has been arrested and charged after authorities say he fired multiple shots at his pregnant girlfriend and another woman during a domestic dispute. Jalen Augustus of Baker faces two counts of attempted first-degree murder and one count of aggravated criminal damage to property, according to the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office. So EBR deputies responded after shot spotter technology detected five rounds fired. Upon arrival, a woman told investigators that her boyfriend had shot at her while she was in the passenger seat of his mother's car.

8:56 According to the affidavit, the shooting followed an escalating argument involving Augustus, his girlfriend and his mother. Augustus, who was armed, allegedly made multiple threats, including that he would kill his girlfriend. His mother also armed herself with a weapon from her vehicle, racked it and pointed it at the woman while threatening her. This is a family event here. Wow. During the confrontation, Augustus got into the passenger side of his mother's vehicle, and as she drove away, he fired shots toward his girlfriend and her aunt. Investigators later found three bullet holes in the exterior of a nearby home and recovered five spent shell casings. The woman told detectives she and Augustus had dated on and off for about 10 years and that she was roughly four months pregnant with his child.

9:39 She said he had been staying with her for about a week and identified him by name and date of birth. Augustus was arrested, and fortunately, no injuries were reported. I mean, girlfriend needs to find a better picker. Yeah, but I mean, you ever been in a shootout with your mother? In law, huh? No, it's... says that he was with his mom. Okay. Right? Isn't that how I read that? It says that her boyfriend had shot at her while she was in the passenger seat of his mother's vehicle, but then it says that the argument escalated and he was armed, making threats. And then his mother also armed herself with a weapon from her vehicle, racked it, and pointed it at the woman.

10:23 Okay. Well, we can do it together. This is a family event. No wonder your son acts the way he does. He must have learned by example, ma'am. Right. Congratulations. Like, what in the world? Yeah, I agree. Crazy. You know, I love my mom, and we are tight, but I don't see her driving me to the shooting of someone I disagree with. Yeah. What did the girl do? I mean, what are they saying? It doesn't even say they were just arguing and it just escalated. And then they pull a gun and both. I mean, and then think about the innocent people in the house nearby that their house ate the bullets. Total disregard for life, not to mention your unborn child. Right. Idiot. Wow. All right, let's go to Florida, and we're going to go to Fort Lauderdale this time. And a 48-year-old Fort Lauderdale man was arrested after deputies say he exposed himself and urinated toward a family waiting at a gate at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport, striking a mother and her young son with urine. Now, according to the Briar County Sheriff's Office, the incident occurred around 1130 a.m. on November 3rd. In the passenger waiting area near gate E6 in Terminal 3, Lawrence Rabin was seated directly across from a family of three. He allegedly gets up, unbuttons his pants, yanks out his wee-wee, and begins urinating in their direction.

11:53 Brittany Purdy and her seven-year-old son were struck with the urn while the father managed to avoid it. Way to go, Dad. And I just laugh about that because instead of, like, shilling his family, he freaking jetted, man. It ain't getting on me. Other passengers in the immediate area quickly dispersed as the scene unfolded. I bet they did. Deputies described Rabin as appearing intoxicated at the time. Rabin, a local resident and divorced father of two young boys, was taken into custody without incident, and he was booked on six charges, including a third-degree felony for battery, causing a minor to come in contact with bodily fluids. And that's actually a Florida law punishable by up to five years in prison, misdemeanor battery, disorderly intoxication, and indecent exposure. His bomb was set at $ 5, 000, and he had been released upon making that bond. Court records don't specify whether he was waiting to board a flight or if he had arrived back in Fort Lauderdale. Rabin's Facebook profile lists him as a project manager for a kitchen remodeling firm. And reports also noted 2011 no contest plea to domestic battery that resulted in probation and a batterer's intervention program. So he's not exactly a you know, a standup citizen to start with. And, um, yeah,

13:24 maybe he's got to go, man. Maybe he's got a drinking problem that, you know, you got your domestic issues. Yeah. I, uh, it's very odd to me that we serve so much alcohol in airports because there's so many incidences that seem to, um, like it's flying and drinking something. I just don't understand. A lot of people before they get on with flying. I don't know. Cause I, I don't do it because I'd actually get, like, nauseous. Yeah. I mean, I get drinking. But I know a lot of people that. Hit that bar. At a football game. You know what I'm saying? Like, I get drinking at a football game. I get drinking in certain places. But, like, what is it about flight that we need to be drinking? Like, I mean, myself, I'm terrified of flying, so I want to go to sleep, you know? Maybe a little toddy will help me.

14:09 Make you some comfort. Yeah. You know? But, like, I don't get why so many people are drinking and pissing and fighting at the airport. Well, but you— You know, most of the people at airports travel for 11. They're in airports every night. I guess that's true. It's different than someone that has flown twice in their life. What a great TV show idea. If it was like cops, but it was like the airport and all the drama that goes down at an airport. Have they ever done a show like that? Not that I know of. I'm thinking, hey, if any producers are listening, that was my idea. And maybe they could throw some funds our way. Right. You know, for the show idea. Yeah. If someone peed on my kid, though, I just want to let you know that I would become immediately aggressive.

14:51 I'm not jumping out of the way. And yourself. Yeah. Once I'm pissed on, I'm pissed off. I just want you to know. Yeah. We should make a shirt. That sounded like a cool shirt. Once I'm pissed on, I'm pissed off. Yeah. Yeah. Pretty sure that saying came from somewhere else. Oh, did it? I thought I made it up. No, you did not. Dang it. Add that to the list of shit I don't know. All right. Let's go to Sacramento, California. And I know people are all over the board on this one as far as what they think should happen. But I will tell you that I was very unhappy when I read about this. So Governor Gavin Newsom announced Thursday that he is commuting every single death sentence in California to life in prison without the possibility of parole, a sweeping use of executive clemency that would empty the nation's largest death row and make the largest mass commutation of capital sentences in U.S. history. In an open letter to Californians, Newsom wrote that the decision follows nearly three decades of opposing state-sanctioned executions. He said, quote, I'll take this action because I firmly believe the state-sanctioned killing is incompatible with California's values, undermines the foundations of our legal system, and diminishes each of us. I know we cannot execute people in the imperfect legal system and remain true to our core values, first among them justice and human decency. He described the choice as among the most difficult of his career, citing the pain it could revive for victims' families. But then he went and did it. That's not in the article, but I'm just going to say, but then he did it.

16:20 It must have been so difficult for him. The action covers 548 people, roughly 529 men and 19 women, currently under sentence of death. California has not carried out an execution since 2006, and it has executed only 13 people since voters reinstated capital punishment in 1978. Newsom imposed a formal moratorium on executions shortly after taking office in 2019. The commutations do not repeal the death penalty. Prosecutors can still seek it in future cases and the law remains on the books. Newsom's successor has indicated support for continuing the moratorium. Of course. Implementation is not automatic for every case. Under the California Constitution, the state Supreme Court must review and recommend approval for commutations involving prisoners with more than one felony conviction. Newsom's office said that applies to about 382 of the cases, and he has asked the court for action so the commutations can be completed before his term ends in January.

17:18 Roughly one-third of the sentences can be converted unilaterally. The affected individuals will remain in prison for life and are excluded from certain newer parole or re-sentencing pathways. California's death row has long been the largest in the Western Hemisphere. Notable cases include serial killers Randy Kraft and Charles NG, as well as Richard Allen Davis, convicted of the 1993 kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klass. The announcement came the same day executions were carried out in other states, including Alabama, Florida, and Indiana. Indiana, sorry. Indiana. Indiana. I made up that state. Advocates against capital punishment call it a historic step that could reduce the national death row population by nearly a third. Some victims, relatives and law enforcement officials criticized it as overriding jury verdicts and denying finality. So I will add here to that Newsom is widely expected to consider a 2028 presidential bid framed the move as a moral and practical conclusion after years of costly appeals against prolonged legal delays and no executions.

18:22 California has spent billions on the system since 1978 with little corresponding use of the ultimate penalty. The governor's letter noted extensive consultation with victims, families, corrections officials, and others before the decision. The California Supreme Court's review will determine how many of the 548 sentences are ultimately converted. Until then, the prisoners remain under death sentence on paper, even as the practical effort of the state's longstanding moratorium continues. Yeah, so. You know, they already had a moratorium on it. The last person to be executed in California, as Kelly said, it was in 2006. His name was Clarence Ray Allen.

19:02 He was executed by lethal injection. They haven't had any since, and they've had a total moratorium on it for the past 20 years. So I don't know why he's doing what he's doing. They weren't executing people anyway. This guy here, You know, the issue I have, whether you're for the death penalty, not for the death penalty, whatever, the issue I have with this over anything else is a jury of these folks' peers is who saw fit to sentence them to death. So you're taking all those 12 jury people from all those juries over all that time, and you're basically saying your opinion doesn't matter. What you ruled as would be justified doesn't matter. And you wipe it out in one fell swoop.

19:52 That's exactly what happened. I look at this like this. I don't ever jump up and down and celebrate an execution. And the idea that it's passed, that people who are for the death penalty celebrate it, I think, don't understand what's actually happening here. It is the law. It's in place for a reason. And if you follow the law, that doesn't mean that you are, you know, excited, jumping. I've never met someone who cheered, no matter what, in an execution. It's a somber event. It's sad that it had to come to this. But it came to this on the back of the decisions made by the person being put to death. And so what, in essence, this feels like to me is that Gavin Newsom believes he has morality over the rest of us, the people that, all of the jurors, first of all, that voted for this to go that way, for all of the lawmakers that put that law into effect, his morality is better than the rest of ours. That he's, you know, looking at this and that, and who can possibly go against morality?

20:59 But the problem is not in the death penalty being applied to the people who earned it, It's that many of these people have victims themselves that they gave the death penalty to. Polly Class was 12 years old. She was a little girl. And the argument here, I think it's just asinine. I deeply appreciate and use the DPIC website all the time, the Death Penalty Institute. I do like the data that's there. I do like the information. I think it gives a great picture of what's going on. In terms of just, you know, each state and all the information we can gather from how long people have been on death row and things like that. However, whenever the advocates against, you know, people who are against capital punishment say that, oh, this is historic, it's reduced national death row population. Well, no shit. When you take people off of death row, of course it's going to reduce it.

21:52 But it hasn't reduced it for the reasons that we, the people, want it reduced. We would love the death row population to be reduced because there's not crimes that are being committed that put people eligible for the death penalty. Well, right. And you have to consider the vast majority of people in California don't feel that way. Well, I'm happy for them. And they're we the people in their state. I understand that. I totally understand that. What do you think about that? I think that the victims are what are in my mind right now, not those voters. And I know that someone right now who is against the death penalty and lives in California is just mad and going to say, ugh, I'll never listen to this podcast again. That's fine. That's your right, right? You don't have to agree with me.

22:36 But I cannot sit here and tell you that I could look in the face of Polly Class' dad and say, you know what? Morality just needs to take over and he doesn't deserve what was handed down by the courts, by the system and by the jury. Gavin Newsom knows better. I just couldn't do that. I couldn't do it. And certainly there's people in California that don't agree with it either. I'm not saying that. But my point there is this guy was voted into office. So the majority of the people knew his politics and he's not a first time governor. I mean, he's been governor a long time. People knew his politics, and so I would probably go out on a limb and say the vast majority of people that live in that state probably agree with him.

23:21 As wild as that sounds to someone that disagrees with him, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, definitely, because we're from the South, you know, and we're different. But I want to add one more thing here, that if that is a loosey-goosey state, okay, like more liberal state, right, liberal state, yet you still– qualify for one... I'm sorry. That's okay. But you still qualify for one third of the population of people on death row? Do we not see like a correlate there that, you know, and I understand there's population differences and stuff. I understand that. But you're a loosey-goosey liberal state and then you're accounting for one third of the population of people that qualify for death row. That's scary to me. And now there's a policy in place or not policy, but sweeping with the sweep of a pen that That whole population is gone, and the death penalty just doesn't apply anymore to them.

24:14 Don't be surprised. But, you know, you say we're in the South. It's different. Texas. I know. And this isn't political, and this isn't a political podcast, but they just nominated a very liberal governor, and I'll bet you there are some things that are likely going to change there. Yeah. That governor technically could do the exact same thing. Yeah. You know, the governors have that as part of their powers is the power to commute sentences. So we'll see. But it's no longer a south, west, east issue. Yeah. This is occurring all over the country now. Yeah. We'll have to see where it goes. I want to say this, though. Whatever side of the aisle that you are on on that discussion, you are still, you know, your opinion is still valued. And it's still, I think that it's great we have people on either side of this because it's difficult on either side of this. It's just the lens that you look at it through determines whether you think that was a great move or you think that that was terrible.

25:16 Right. All right, Kelly. You know what time it is. What? Let's go into Lustful Lawbreakers. Ooh, my roll wasn't very good on that one. Drink some liquids next time I go roll in that tongue. Mmm. Mmm. All right. We're going to start off in, well, we're going to take this one to Austin, Texas. Speaking of Texas. And I'm going to tell you about a half-naked woman, Kelly. Half-naked? Which half?

25:58 It didn't say. But actually, it's the bottom half. Okay. All right. So this half-naked woman was arrested after being caught masturbating in public in Austin, Texas. then allegedly continuing to pleasure herself while handcuffed in a police car. Handcuffed! She was turned on. Wow, she must have had them in front of her, I guess, and not behind her. Or she likes to touch her butt. Maybe. Police responded to a complaint from the J.W. Marriott Austin Hotel, this was at 5.20 p.m. this past Monday, about a woman across the street holding a silver object against her privates. I'll let you guess what that was.

26:41 Was it shaped like a silver bullet? Likely. Her legs were straight up in the air, and they were spread open. And that's according to the arrest affidavit. A hotel worker said he could hear the woman, identified by authorities as Dovie Nichols, who is 26, making moaning sounds. Hmm. The woman saw the worker saw the woman masturbating on the patio for about seven or eight minutes. Like nobody said nothing like that's a long time to be getting on with yourself. So the worker said the woman told him back off as he approached her to tell he says to tell her to stop. So he approached her.

27:24 She told him back off. Then she went to a second bar and kitchen which was across the street where the lewd behavior allegedly continued. This woman was going to get herself off. You hear me? When police arrived at the bar, the woman stopped moving her arms under the table and placed them on top of the table, but the officers observed that Nichols was not wearing any pants. That is red flag. So that'd be a clue. That's what we call a clue, right? Shirt and shoes required, but now they need to add pants. Right. After being arrested, Nichols allegedly continued to pleasure herself even while handcuffed in the back of the squad car. She was determined. You hear me? The cops went across the street to investigate the original complaint and learn from a hotel employee. The woman had been spotted earlier at the Marriott street level patio. She was charged with indecent exposure and sent to the Travis County Jail with a bail of $ 3, 000.

28:25 That is something, you know, we kind of chuckle about it. But if that was a man, I would be instantly saying sex offender. You know, who acts like that in public? What, a woman can't be a sex offender? Yeah. No, no, no. That's what I'm saying, though. But like I'm saying, I'm like chuckling at like her, I guess, intensity. And you ought to see her eyes, y'all. So if you're watching this on the Patreon, she looks like she's frustrated. Yeah. Like she couldn't finish. I guess. Doesn't she kind of in her eyes like, I don't know, that's what I got from it. You have to check out the picture. She's stressed. It's not a nude picture. She's in her prison garb at this point. But her eyes are like, bruh.

29:09 You think drugs were involved in that one? Oh, you think? Yeah. I mean, I would almost bet every dollar I got, drugs were involved. So that's your Lussel Lawbreaker. Yeah. Well, wow. You know, the Marriott never got me that excited before, but. I'll think about it every time I stay there. Different strokes, different folks. All right. We are going to go to Fargo. And a woman was rescued from a Fargo apartment after allegedly being held captive and chained to a bed for about two years. police said. The discovery came after a maintenance worker heard her cries for help. On November the 3rd, 2026, a maintenance technician at an apartment complex reported hearing someone calling for help from Unit 306. He entered and found the woman restrained in a bedroom with a chain and padlock secured around her right ankle. The other end was then attached to the bed. A security camera was pointed at her and the bedroom windows were covered with tinfoil. Officers freed her from the restraints and took her to a hospital where investigators noted bruising on her body and her face.

30:14 Speaking through a translator, the woman told police that she had been brought to Fargo from Mexico. This was in 2024 by her ex-husband. 40-year-old Arturo Berserell. And once he brought her there, she was not allowed outside for those following two years, the entire time. She said that he brought her food twice a day, but did not let her leave the room or use the bathroom, forcing her to use a bucket. She alleged that both Berserell and his girlfriend, 41-year-old Erendira Amoles, repeatedly beat and sexually assaulted her. Court documents describe the restraints as chains bolted to the headboard and footboard, partially sheathed in foam pool noodles, and secured with master lock padlocks. Authorities arrested Becerril and Amoles on kidnapping and assault-related charges. Both pleaded not guilty. A judge set bond at $ 500, 000 cash for each. Prosecutors have alleged the confinement was connected to efforts involving the woman's status as a U.S. citizen and immigration benefits. And, you know, before I even had made it that far in the article, I wondered, what could you possibly benefit if you have a girlfriend? But the finance, the financial benefit, obviously, was what they were going after. The suspects told investigators they restrained her to stop her from running away, claiming she struggled with drug addiction and mental health issues. So they were doing her a favor, Jim. They were doing her a favor. All three adults are from the same town in Mexico, according to statements in court documents. Amoles returned to the apartment with her eight-year-old daughter shortly after the rescue.

31:45 Neighbors expressed shock that the captivity had gone unnoticed in the complex. The case remains under investigation with the next court appearance scheduled for early December. I mean, I don't know what punishment would be perfect for these people, but I got some ideas. You know, when you literally... hold someone captive, chained to a bed for two years, you almost should get the same punishment. Like, they should be chained to a bed for two years. And then to imply that they were somehow helping her. That this was. Yeah, she was hooked on drugs, so we made sure she couldn't get away. Right. And also, sure, I'm the girlfriend, and she's actually married to him.

32:28 Sure. Sure. We totally believe you. We totally believe you. This was, like you say, a money pool and she was getting benefits and they were just stealing her checks. And what's really sad, too, is that nobody missed her in the States. I mean, like nobody knew she was a ghost so that if that money would have gotten cut off for whatever reason, who knows what would have happened to her. Right. Because there was nobody here to even know that she was gone. Right. Good job on that maintenance worker for listening and following that. I bet you that was scary, too, to walk in on. Oh, sure. Shocking. Yeah. No doubt about it. All right. Let's go to Covington, Louisiana. And y'all, look, Veterans Day, you're going to hear this actually after Veterans Day. Veterans Day is Wednesday. We're recording this this week on a Tuesday because Kelly has a veterans benefit to go to for her hero. Dad.

33:22 My stepdad. Okay. Stepdad. Yeah. He's being honored. He's being honored. Total hero. Yeah. I'm so proud of him and all that he accomplished. And he did some feats in Vietnam that were Not. Just some feats. Yeah. Like major heroic shit. Yeah. Yeah, really. I mean, like mental honor possibilities shit. Yeah, like big time stuff. And, you know, he's humble and he would never bring it up and he would have never mentioned it. But thank God the daughter of the man that he ran in and he attempted to rescue, he was already deceased, unfortunately, whenever he ran back in to save him. But he still carried him out. He didn't leave him. But the daughter, all these years later, went so far as to talk to bigwigs about, I want to thank this man. And that's kind of what got this whole ball rolling. And I'm super proud of him.

34:15 But lots of veterans out there that have done amazing things. And I know myself, and I'm sure I can speak for Jim in saying that we are so humbled and so thankful for everyone that has put their life on the line for our safety and our and our nation. Yeah. I say this week because you kind of, I mean, you should honor veterans at any time, of course, but they have a day. That's Veterans Day. Those who have died in military service have their day. That's Memorial Day. And this is one where we focus on those that are veterans that serve their country. And really the most unselfish thing you can do, which is risk your life for people you don't even know, never met. And so I'm going to tell you a quick story. I wanted to honor a veteran from Louisiana here and give you a little interesting story. So I looked up who Louisiana's oldest living World War II veteran was. And it's a gentleman by the name of James Jim Robinson. Now, this guy, y'all, is 105 years old. He's still alive. 105. Incredible. That in and of itself is an accomplishment, right? So Mr. Jim, he's been alive that long. He remains Louisiana's oldest surviving World War II veteran and one of the most active members of what's known as the Greatest Generation. And he still lives in what's known as the North Shore, which

35:46 is in Covington. He was born September 24th of 1921 in Georgia. And Robinson has called the Covington area his home for decades. He received what's known as a ham radio license, y'all, at the age of 12 years old. Not like predated CBs, ham radios. And it used to be people would have these tall antennas on their roofs, and you could actually talk to people all over the world. This is way before cell phones existed. And all that. Well, you had to be licensed in it. And he got licensed at 12. He then enlisted with his brother in the Army Air Corps. This was in 1942. And he washed out of flight school due to vertigo and was assigned as a radio operator and a mechanic. He was a second lieutenant in July of 1944 and was stationed in Greenland. And he would actually communicate with these pilots online.

36:43 flying these missions back and forth and telling them, you know, obviously where to go, things of that nature. He said it was an important job because you can't fight much of a war without knowing the weather. That's true. He's right on that. His brother Wesley was what was known as a bombardier, and he was shot down and killed on his fifth mission over Germany. The German Red Cross personnel recovered the body, netted dog tags, and later provided coordinates that allowed those remains to be returned. Now, after being released from active duty in September of 1945, Robinson was recalled in 1948, and he actually did the same job in the Korean War. So he later joined the Florida Air National Guard, retired in May of 1953 as a major and And he has also served in the Army Air Corps and Air Force over the course of his career. But today, even today, he stays engaged with his community. He is the oldest member of American Legion Post 16 in Covington. He still tinkers with a ham radio in Morse code. And he once could send out in Morse code over 40 words a minute. Wow.

37:57 That's really difficult. Yes. Yes. He's been a regular presence at the National World War II Museum in New Orleans. If you've never been there, go there. It's so good. You'll go multiple times. 100%. You know, it's so good. The museum has hosted birthday celebrations for his 103rd, 104th, and 105th birthday. The most recent event was in September of 2026. He's actually got proclamations from Governor Jeff Landry, the Louisiana Department of Veteran Affairs, St. Tammany Parish and Commemorative Air Force. One of his earlier birthday videos was with the victory bells. Oh, yeah. You know the victory bells?

38:38 Yeah, yeah. Millions of views on TikTok. So look that up on TikTok and you can see what this guy looks like. Friends and fellow legionnaires describe him as a sharp, good-humored, and determined man. He has said he aims to become the oldest living World War II veteran in the nation. That's a great goal to have. Go for it, man. Yeah. We support it. Local ceremonies continue to honor both his service and his memory of his brother. On Memorial Day 2026, he received a folded American flag in his brother's honor at the And as the ranks, y'all, of World War II vets become thin, you know, there's only 31,000 that remain alive.

39:23 Robinson's story offers a living connection to that time in history and what a hero and proud to honor him. And so I salute you. Major James Robinson. And we'll post his picture on Facebook so y'all can go check him out and send him your thanks or whatever it is that you feel that's on your heart. But he's so precious. And I know you're a man, so I don't know if men would just... But older men to me, and especially... I am a man. You are a man. He's so precious to me. And to know that he's so cute. But that was a badass back in the day, man. And all the people... The military sometimes... One time someone told me, well, he was a cook in the military. And I stopped and I turned around. Not him, but the person I'm talking to.

40:07 It's a big deal. I turned around and said, well, they have to eat. It doesn't matter what. The man kept them fed, kept them energized, and everybody loved the cook. Yes. And I don't care what role, what capacity, when you have dedicated years of your life to support the cause of the allegiance of the United States of America, my hat is off to you, and we appreciate you, and we want to make sure we make that well known. So thank you, sir, for your service. All right. We are going to go to Atmore, Alabama. And I don't even want to talk about Alabama right now. I'm butthurt. I'm still licking my wounds from last weekend's game. LSU did not show up. They did not. You guys win. I just had to let that one go.

40:49 But anyway. All right. Oh, wait. Real quick, though. What was that? What are those planes that flew over, the flyover? What's the really cool triangle-shaped plane? What's that? That's a stealth bomber. For all. Sick. They're really cool. Sick. Yeah. Those are unbelievable. If you've never seen one of those fly, it's like watching a UFO. It is. And it was unbelievable. Oh, my God. It was so cool. I think I have video of it. I was outside of the stadium. I waited with my husband outside of the stadium to watch it go over because we wanted to get as much view as possible. So cool. Those pilots are so cool. That's a beautiful plane. Yeah. I just totally went off in left field on Alabama. Sorry. And it ended up in planes. All right. Back to Atmore. So the state of Alabama executed Michael Shannon Taylor by lethal injection on Thursday evening, November the 5th.

41:33 And this was at the William C. Holman Correctional Facility. Now, Taylor was 54 and he was pronounced dead at 6.10 p.m., nearly 35 years after he beat an elderly Gadsden couple to death. And this was all during a robbery. Taylor did not make a final statement. Media witnesses reported that the curtain opened around 5.47 to 5.51. They were very specific on the time frame that the curtain opened. And when he was asked if he had any final words, he replied, no, sir. He spoke briefly with his spiritual advisor, appeared to say thank you to the advisor and his attorneys and nodded as the chaplain prayed. His eyes closed shortly after 5 53 PM. His last observed body movement occurred at 5 56 and a physician later pronounced him dead.

42:16 So what happened? A lot of people are curious, you know, why was this guy put to death? Well, it all goes back to November the 4th of 1991, the 19 or he was then 19 years old. Um, Let's see. Then absent without leave from the U.S. Navy to start with. So he was AWOL. He received a ride to the Gadsden home of Ivan Moore, who was 83, and Lucille Moore, who was 79, an elderly couple that he knew. And he asked to use their telephone. The Moores invited him inside. They offered him food and they briefly left the room. According to the AG's office, Taylor retrieved a barbell. which was described in some other reports as a metal bar. He got it out of a duffel bag that he had left outside. While Ivan Moore looked in the refrigerator, Taylor struck him repeatedly in the head. When Miss Lucille entered the kitchen and found her husband on the floor, Taylor attacked her as well. Ivan Moore attempted to crawl away.

43:08 Taylor continued striking both victims. He then stole Ivan's wallet, Lucille's purse, a checkbook, and the couple's 1986 Cadillac before fleeing. A neighbor discovered the couple later, Two days later on November the 6th, Ivan Moore was already dead on the kitchen floor. Believe it or not, after two days had passed, Lucille Moore was unconscious, but she wasn't dead. She had died from her, or she would die days later from her injuries on November the 10th. Both suffered severe blunt force trauma to the head that fractured their skulls. Taylor drove to Birmingham, Alabama. He cashed forged checks totaling about $ 1, 500 and made clothing and jewelry purchases.

43:48 Wow. Killed two people for clothing and jewelry purchases. He was arrested five days later outside the River Chase Galleria in Hoover while attempting to leave in the stolen Cadillac. He confessed to the robbery and the beatings. So in 1993, a jury convicted him on three counts of capital murder and unanimously recommended the death penalty for him, which the trial judge accepted. His convictions and sentence were upheld through all of his state and federal appeals. He became eligible for execution in November of 2016. after exhausting direct appeals and post-conviction remedies. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case last year. In 2018, when Alabama authorized nitrogen hypoxia, Taylor selected it as his method of execution. A federal district court later ruled in a related case involving another inmate that Alabama's nitrogen protocol violated the Eighth Amendment ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

44:41 So the state then proceeded with lethal injection. Taylor's last minute request for a stay, arguing that his prior nitrogen election should control, he was denied by the Alabama Supreme Court on November the 4th. Governor Kay Ivey declined to grant clemency. Taylor's execution was Alabama's third of this year, following Jeremy Tremaine Williams in August and Jeffrey Lee in September. Both of those were also by lethal injection. Earlier in the year, Governor Ivey commuted the sentence of Charles Sonny Burton and to Forrest Johnson. In his final days, Taylor received multiple visitors and phone calls. He refused regular meal trays and a formal final meal and consumed sodas and a candy bar.

45:25 There you go. You know, apparently they're better than Tennessee at finding the vein. Right? I mean, they got it done. He didn't, there's no, there's no big ordeal with it. It's crazy to me that he, Wanted nitrogen hypoxia. That's painful, huh? It seems like that would be, I don't, I don't, I don't know. I don't, I don't know a whole lot about it. From what I understand, you, you breathe that stuff and you just go to sleep and then you die. I don't know. I mean, maybe it is painful, but they wouldn't even let him do it when he wanted to do it. Right. I mean, I guess either one's better than getting beat to death by a barbell.

46:05 Right. Oh, good point. Yeah. I mean, at least he got the option of trying. That was pretty painful, I bet. Yeah, and then to lay there for two days with a brain injury and everything else. Well, there you have it. And Alabama moving right along with their executions, it looks like. So, Kelly, we're going to go on the true crime time machine for November 13th. Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop. And I'm going to do this one a little different. Usually I give you a story and I just pick one, but I'm just going to give you a few and tell you a little bit about them because a lot of things happened on November 13th throughout history. The Amityville murders happened. Ronald Defoe Jr. shot and killed his parents and four siblings while they slept. Of course, if you've seen the movie, The Amityville Horror, it was loosely based off of that.

46:54 I was going to say, I've never seen it, believe it or not. What? Never. Never. Yeah, it's pretty scary. You've never seen the girl, like, her head twisting around in Linda Blair? That was that show? Yeah, that was Amityville Horror. Oh, I always thought that was, like, in Poltergeist or something. I think it was. No, I'm sorry. That was The Exorcist. I mean, The Exorcist. Yeah, correction. A hundred people just jumped on me. That was The Exorcist. Jim, you messed up. Yeah, that was The Exorcist. But I've seen this one. It's been a long time. Very popular movie based off of that. University of Idaho student murders in 2010. 2022, November 13th. Can you believe it's been that long? No, it doesn't seem like. But I guess it makes sense. He's been convicted now, and that's about the average time frame for something like that. So, sad situation there. The Channelville, Texas, mass shooting was on November 13th, 1997, where Coy Westbrook shot five people, including his ex-wife, at her apartment during a party. Oh, I thought. So I'm sure if you're from that area, you remember that.

47:57 Yeah, and we had something similar to that that happened. We covered it on Cromwell Weekly a few months back. Yeah, yeah, similar. But this was back in 97. Yeah, that's what I was saying. I looked at the date on that. The Cherry Mine disaster occurred on November 13th. I know you don't remember this because it was 1909. Yeah, I don't remember it. It was an industrial disaster rather than a traditional criminal act. It was a fire at a coal company that killed 259 men. Oh, my. Unbelievable. Were they trapped? Must have been trapped in there. It remains one of the deadliest mine disasters in U.S. history. Mm-hmm. Karen Silkwood's death was on November 13th of 1974. So on the same day as the Amityville murders, nuclear plant technician activist Karen Silkwood died in a car crash while attempting to meet a reporter about safety issues at a plutonium plant.

48:56 The circumstances... fueled lasting conspiracy theories and a major lawsuit. They were thinking, oh, some tomfoolery going on here. And it was grouped with a lot of high-profile suspicious deaths of that era. Hey, speaking of. Fortunately, they didn't have Facebook back then. It really would have went viral. I can't believe we didn't talk about this, but Keefie D's attorney. Well, that wasn't... That didn't occur on November 13th. No, but I'm just saying high profile... There was. No Tom Fullery there. It was natural causes. Oh, you looked into it? I didn't look into it. Yeah. He had a heart attack or something. It was nothing. Okay, strike that. Medical.

49:38 Strike that from the record. I take that back. There's a reason why we didn't talk about it. Now it explains it. But yes, his attorney in the QVD trial did die. And, you know, the first thing you think is, oh, they killed him. But according to police, there's nothing going on here. He had a medical issue that led to his death. I got you. Is all they're saying. Well, look at me just insinuating something nefarious. I just started a rumor. Yep. Good Lord. They'll give anybody a microphone, Jim. All right. Let's go to New York. And this one's pretty sad. So a New York City Department of Education teacher's aide who previously served briefly as a police officer has been charged with murder in the stabbing death of a 28-year-old jogger on a Brooklyn waterfront path. Like probably the most not dangerous things you can think of. Just jogging on a nice path. But Saeed Mohamed.

50:36 I don't know. You're in Brooklyn. Well, Brooklyn might be a little depends on what part of borough you're in over there. I guess what I mean is you're not trying to be you're not out gangbanging. You're out for a jog. You know, I get it. OK, so let's see. It's Saeed Mohasib, 27, was arrested Saturday in connection with the October 30th attack on Katie Suarez. He faces second degree murder charges, along with two counts each of tampering with physical evidence. and criminal possession of a weapon. He was arraigned and ordered held without bail, and he's due back in court on Tuesday. Suarez was an avid runner training for another marathon, and she left her job as a teller at the TD Bank branch that evening, and then she changed into her running clothes on Shore Parkway Greenway near Bay 17th Street in Bath Beach. That was kind of a mouthful. I don't really know where that is, so I can't speak to that area, but It says this was her usual routine. Her parents waited for her less than a mile away at a Wendy's. Around 8 p.m., she told her father by phone that she was about a half mile away and would finish roughly in 10 minutes.

51:39 When she did not arrive, her mother began searching the dark path. Her father later found her collapsed beneath a tree, bleeding heavily from neck wounds. He called for help, and Suarez was taken to a hospital but died three days later. Surveillance video shows Mohaseeb walking toward the path before the attack and running from the area afterward. Additional footage captured him returning home, emerging about 15 minutes later in only underwear and discarding items down a garbage chute. When shown the video, he identified himself. According to the criminal complaint, he told investigators he went to the path carrying a knife because he believed, quote, people were going to come and kill his family, end quote. He said he sat on a bench and became covered in blood but denied stabbing anyone.

52:22 Okay. It just happened. Prosecutors allege he then ran home, discarded bloody clothing and a knife, washed his hands and tried to clean blood in his apartment. So that kind of shoots his insanity plea to hell right there. The New York City Department of Education confirmed Mohaseeb worked as a teacher's aide and has suspended him, stating he will move. It will move to terminate his employment pending the case outcome. The safety of our students is our top priority, the department said, and we're supporting the NYPD in their investigation however is needed. Mayor Mamdani called the attack horrific and said the city's hearts are with Suarez's loved ones. Our commitment is to hold the individual responsible fully accountable. Suarez's mother, Yacira Suarez, described her daughter as someone who never thought harm would come to her. I would always tell her, honey, you have to be careful. And she would say, ma, nothing's going to happen to me. After learning her husband had found their only daughter, she ran back along the path.

53:15 It felt like miles, like I'd never get there, but I just wanted to reach her. She later said, you took an angel. Customers at the bank where Suarez worked remembered her as warm and always smiling. NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kinney described her as a productive, beautiful member of society. A bank spokesperson said the company is deeply saddened and offered thoughts for her family and colleagues. Mohaseeb's background has drawn scrutiny because he worked as an NYPD officer for a little more than a month in 2022 before receiving extended military leave. His firearm was removed and never returned. He filed for resignation from the department in December of 2022. A later request for reinstatement was denied.

53:56 Supervisors had noted concerning behavior, and he was transported to Bellevue Hospital. He also served briefly in the Marines, and his last duty assignment ended December 15th of 2022 in South Carolina. The Marines said his premature discharge indicated service incongruent with the Marine Corps expectations and standards. So we're seeing a very sharp downhill decline here. His mother, Fatima Mohassib, said she is in deep pain and described her son as a good person with a black belt who attended Brooklyn College, played basketball, and went to the mosque and Boy Scouts. She acknowledged concerns about his mental health. Local elected officials described him as a mentally disturbed man who had been discharged from the military on psychiatric grounds. I think that's... passing the muster here of what is probably believed.

54:42 The attack is believed to have been at random. Suarez was stabbed in the neck at least twice. There was no indication of robbery or sexual assault, and she had no known enemies. Police had offered a $ 10, 000 reward for information before the arrest. Yeah, he's going to need that black belt where he's going, because he's going to a New York prison, and you're going to need to fight every day. Look, this guy, obviously, people picked up on him pretty quick. He was only a police officer. This is back in 2022. And the reason I bring this up is a lot of the headlines are promoting an NYPD officer. Look, he was a cop for a month. Right. And they figured it out, I would imagine. Very quickly. It hasn't come out why he left, but I've got a good inclination. And that's because he then returned to the military. When the military says they don't want you, that's a problem. Because they usually can fix a lot of things. They couldn't fix this cat. They basically said, we don't want him either.

55:41 Because you can fix physical or, you know, if you just need different training, restructuring, I guess I'll call it. You can't fix crazy. And even his mom says that he was losing it. But how sad that a woman had to lose her life before we could do anything. Right. You know, and he just went out there with the knife waiting to kill her. All right, we're going to go into overtime, and we've got another one from Florida. Man, Florida is lighting it up today. Big state. Big state. A lot going on in Florida, and this one's been making all the news. A 35-year-old Orlando man fatally shot a Citibank employee at the company's sprawling Tampa area campus after threatening violence over $ 2, 500 in debt.

56:28 Credit card debt. And who racked that up? Yeah, the gunman was shot and killed by an armed security guard during the November 4th attack at the Citigroup Center in Brandon, Florida. Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Constanter identified the suspect as Jacob Pearson, a married father of a seven-year-old with no prior criminal record. The victim was Leanne Selman, 41, of Palm Harbor. She was a nine-year employee of Citibank. And she was the first person that Pearson encountered after crashing his vehicle through a security gate into a courtyard where employees were gathered. So according to police, Pearson called a law office contracted by Citibank for debt collection around 9 a.m. He said he was irate after receiving a court summons over a delinquent Citibank credit card balance of $ 2, 500 and demanded the case be canceled. I mean... I mean, come on. Uh... Pearson then threatened to go to the offices, quote, with his AR-15, bulletproof vest, and his insanity. Which is no joke in this case.

57:38 Yeah, and he did. The attorney's office alerted Citibank Security, which contacted Orlando police for a welfare check. Pearson's wife told the officers he had already left. He drove roughly 90 miles from Orlando to the campus, ran through the gate, exited his vehicle with a rifle, and shot Selman three times. The rifle actually malfunctioned at that point. He returned to his car, retrieved a handgun and shot her again as she tried to crawl away. I don't even know what the words are at that moment. You went and assassinated an innocent woman. Yeah. And shot her. And you still didn't come to your senses. Went and got a handgun and finished her off.

58:18 And this woman had nothing to. Do with this. Four other employees were injured during the ensuing panic and evacuation, so running over each other probably. About 3,200 people were on campus at that time. Citibank security officer John Fraley, who is a Marine Corps veteran, confronted Pearson inside the complex, took a tactical position, and fired, striking him five times. Pearson was transported to the Tampa General Hospital and was pronounced dead. Obviously, Fraley was praised for his actions in ending the attack before it could claim more lives because this guy wasn't going to stop. Court records showed Citibank had filed a complaint against Peterson in late October. Imagine this, wanting to get paid back for the credit card balance.

59:05 And so ends that horrendous. ordeal. But what a hero in the guy. And I know he was paid to do that. And he's a security officer. It's like a police officer doing it. But still a heroic act, and there's no telling how many lives he saved in the process. Semper Fi Marine on that one. And I watched the video of it, as I'm sure you did too, Deb. You've seen it circulating. And just pop, pop, pop, and hit him. It looks center mass. I know they blurred on some of them, but it looks center mass to me. And he goes, he went down. Even if that's a job, you sign up for a security officer. No one signs up. to be shot at. I think that's crazy when people think that, oh, you signed up for it. No, no, you signed up to protect innocent people. If bullets happen to come your way, then that's part of what you take on, but you don't sign up to get shot at.

59:55 So kudos to him. I hope that this woman's life isn't lost in vain. I hope that something can come of this. I don't know what it would be in this exact moment, but that's just not fair. That's not fair. And then to leave, you racked up the damn credit card bill. Right. I mean, I don't think anybody's debating. No, I know. But I'm saying wrong. Yeah. But I'm just saying, like, who are you mad at, bro? Because you very simply could have turned the gun on the person who was responsible for this instead of an innocent person. If you're that angry, if you're that angry, just it pisses me off. And then to know that there was already, you know, action against him. Like this bank was victimized multiple times, as were their employees. It's just sad.

1:00:39 I agree. It's very sad. All of our money. Sick. All right. Let's go to South Carolina. And a father is facing a child. Okay. This is wild. You ever made a questionable decision as a parent, like looking back on it, like when you were younger and you're like, probably shouldn't have done that. Sure. I'm wondering if you're anywhere near this because I can't imagine this one. A father is facing a child endangerment charge after Charleston police say he left his six-year-old daughter sleeping outside at a West Ashley Target in in the middle of the night so he could go home without losing his place in line for a new Pokemon trading card release. Never done that. Never. I don't like that. I mean, I know a lot of people do it, but I'm like, you got to be a total nerd to be over the age of 18. Worried about Pokemon.

1:01:29 No, I mean, if you love them, you love them. Fuck that, man. I have a guy in my neighborhood that collects them, and I know that because he gives them out at Halloween, and my daughter fussed this year because he didn't give them out. She said, the Pokemon man didn't give out cards. I said, well, did you say thank you for the chocolate? Like, maybe, you know? I've never been into that. I was probably too old when they came out on me. I collect miniatures. I mean, that's pretty nerdy. I collect things, but not Pokemon cards. I sure wouldn't leave my kid in the car. Not your six-year-old? No, out on the corner. Not even in the car. So officers responded. It was about 2.30 a.m. on Friday, November the 6th to the Target in West Ashley after concerned customers reported an unattended child. Witnesses told police that 35-year-old John Michael Dooley had been waiting overnight with his daughter alongside numerous other customers for the release of the Mega Evolution Delta Reign Pokemon trading card game set.

1:02:23 But sometime after one, Dooley gave the girl a pillow and a green blanket and then left her asleep in line. He didn't ask anybody to watch her. And after roughly an hour passed, those sign of him, the people in line contacted police. One customer reportedly started a timer when Dooley left and called authorities after about 45 minutes. That's a Karen right there. Yes, indeed. Yeah, but like watched him leave that baby. Dooley returned after a total of roughly one hour and six minutes, according to the details from the incident report. When he returned to the store, witnesses identified him to officers. He was arrested at the scene. During an interview with detectives, he admitted he had gone home and left his daughter unattended so he could maintain his place in line and avoid missing the chance to purchase the cards. According to the incident report, a person standing next to the girl recalled Dooley waking her before he left and telling her he was taking the dogs home. The same witness says that they heard Dooley ask the girl if she had a gun or had the gun before walking away.

1:03:20 Oh, six-year-old. Man, police did not find a gun, just to be clear. The only items with the child were the pillow and the blanket. When officers woke the girl, she told them she was waiting in line with her father to get the Pokemon cards when the store opened. The child was unharmed and placed into emergency protective custody with the South Carolina Department of Social Services. Dooley was charged with unlawful conduct toward a child under South Carolina law, which carries a potential penalty of up to 10 years in prison. His bond was set at $ 40, 000. Some later reports indicated that he was released from the detention center while awaiting further court proceedings, but he is due back in court in December. He said that the media coverage on the case has been inaccurate, but didn't specify what he considered to be incorrect. The cards that drew the overnight crowd were part of the latest expansion of that long-running trading card game. Standard booster packs typically retail for about $ 5, though rare cards can sell for thousands of dollars on the secondary market. Overnight and multi-day lines outside of retailers for major new releases have become common because of all these cultures.

1:04:25 I don't even know what to say about that. Obviously a stupid decision. And he must like Pokemon, I guess. He ought to thank all of those people watching his behavior, though, that they had an eye out for his child. Honestly. Yeah. They were looking out. Anybody could have walked off with her. All right. Let's go. Let's go to Florida again. A lot going on in Florida. And Sheriff Judd has featured another person for some. tomfoolery of her own. Her name is Tanya Manon. She is 53, and she was babysitting her daughter's three children, two eight-year-olds and a nine-year-old. And she took them for a ride around what's known as South Lakeland, Florida, and it was to look at Halloween decorations.

1:05:12 And Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said one of the children spots an inflatable ghost outside of a house and said, look at that ghost. It's all blown up. It's awesome. So grandma says, do you want it? And the child says, sure. Home surveillance video then captured grandma stopping her vehicle, walking onto the home's front porch, unplugging the inflatable ghost and putting it in her car before driving away. Deputies tracked her down, she returned the ghost, and she was taken to jail. She was actually arrested on three counts of causing a child to become delinquent. How about that for a charge?

1:05:52 You're boosting with your grandma. Along with charges of unarmed burglary of an unoccupied structure, criminal mischief involving less than $ 200, and petty theft. The ghost was valued at $ 15. However, she was booked into Polk County Jail on $ 8, 750. 50. and released two days later with the case pending in Polk County Circuit Court. Sheriff Judd publicized the case in his November 6th morning press briefing, saying, trick-or-treat, Grandma, we recovered the ghost and you got the trick. And, yeah, you wonder how they get started so early. Yeah. I mean, why would you do that? Grandma, that's not the way to teach them.

1:06:35 Don't do that lady come on that's a waste of your money your time and and taxpayer money to stealing yeah like go buy your own 15 bucks go buy your. Own even if it was 100. Bucks yeah yeah yeah stealing yeah all right now we've talked about urination all right now we're going to go the other route are you ready for this you're we're sports fans and we like to support our kids well A parent of a Bedford High School student entered Grosse Pointe South High School without authorization after a lopsided football playoff game. And that's whenever he decided to take a shit in the hallway, according to the Grosse Pointe Public School system, which said the act was also captured on security camera. So the incident occurred on Friday, November the 6th, following a Michigan High School Athletic Association Division II second round playoff game. And Grosse Pointe South defeated Temperance Bedford.

1:07:30 42 to nothing, so it was actually an ass-kicking. Grosse Pointe Farms police identified the man through surveillance video. Detective Anto Truppiano said the individual entered through the doorway that was left open for a band concert. He walked through several halls while passing multiple bathrooms, stepped into a doorway, and defecated in the hallway. Footage reportedly showed him removing a sweatshirt before fleeing. Truppiano called it definitely a first and noted that investigators were seeking charges with disorderly conduct among options... the options of the other considerations. The man told investigators he experienced a, quote, medical emergency. So I guess he had IBS in the hall. Police questioned that account with Truppiano stating they don't understand why he decided to walk through a bunch of different hallways to find a bathroom he walked past anyway. In its full statement, the school system said this behavior is wholly unacceptable and is inconsistent with the standards of conduct and respect that the district expects of anyone entering its school facilities. While Interscholastic Athletics, oh my God, they gave a long talk about please don't shit in our hallway. I'm not going to read this whole thing. They filed a police report.

1:08:36 Bedford Police School Superintendent Carl Schultz responded that they hold, I'm summarizing here, but they hold their students, staff, and community to high standards of safety, respects, and sportsmanship both on and off the field. I personally wouldn't argue that saying, you know, expect people not to shit in the hallway is a high standard. I think that's actually the lowest bar you could possibly set. But they're not going to comment any further at this time on the incident. It's just ongoing. Yeah. And what do you think? They didn't have surveillance sitting there watching. I mean, you know, if you had a medical emergency, that's going to happen and you're going to make attempts to clean it up. You know, it sounds to me like he shit on the floor and left. Well, and he took the sweatshirt off so he would have a different clothing on when he left is what it sounds like to me.

1:09:20 So, I mean, it's clear this wasn't, I understand nature can call it the complete wrong time. And look, there may be a situation where somebody could not make it anywhere. They were like, I'm not doing it on myself. And they just made it happen. But in that case, you're going to try to clean that up. That was obviously not the case. And you would have attempted to hit the bathroom beforehand. Yeah. Sorry. You could run past it, maybe. I mean, you know. I guess. There was no attempt to admit what had happened by him before he was caught. And that's the problem. Yeah. Imagine being the son there. Be like, hey, remember that time your dad shit in the hallway? I mean, can you believe? People take it so far, man. Like, I get rivalries and stuff like that. And I love them. But I ain't shitting on someone's hallway. No.

1:10:07 That never, that never, yeah, that was never one of my, my options of get back. Right. All right. Any final thoughts, Kelly? Hey, look again, thank you to all of our veterans. Thank you everyone for listening. And I do appreciate that whenever I don't know something that you can educate me, let me know. Cause I, I wonder out loud. I speak off the top, off the cuff, off the top of my head. So when y'all know the answers, I love it. Thank you. All right. And until next time, I'm Jim Chapman. And I'm Kelly Jennings.
