And before we get into the topics, I just want to say thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the frigid gold weather, the ice storms that really impacted the entire United States over the past week. Here in South Louisiana where we record, while it's been an extremely cold and I'm talking fifteen degree wind hills, we did not have the ice storms that those live in Central and North Louisiana experienced. And of course many other states, including Mississippi, Tennessee, you name it, they're all dealing with a mess right now. And last time I looked, over seventy one deaths attributed to this event. So certainly prayers go out to all those affected.

So to the linemen and everybody involved, you know, we're praying for you, genuinely, yes, genuinely praying for you, and we hope that you make a quick recovery from this and that. We can move forward aim into that, and so let's get into the topics for today. In Louisiana, an assistant police chief has been stabbed in a domestic dispute after being caught in bed with another woman. Yeah, we're going to talk about that. We're also going to go to Utah by the way of Croatia to tell you about a doomsday mother who's four children were found in an orphanage after kidnapping them from their child's father. In the United States, a West Virginia librarian has been arrested after recruiting assassins to kill President Donald Trump. We have the details on that. In Missouri, a man has been arrested after selling vehicles on Facebook and then stealing those vehicles back from people that purchased the vehicles. In Maryland, a couple has been arrested outside in Applebee's after let's just say, their hormones were raging. So we've got that story for there.

2:24 The hormones in the meats. Uh, well, we'll get to that. You could man are speaking. Probably shooting in Georgia has left four family members dead and three children hiding in a closet we got that story in so much more today on Crime WI Weekly. I am Jim Chapman, I'm Kelly Jennings, and I guess since we've offered our you know, prayers and all that to the people at the ice storms and more cold weather coming, we'll just drop right into. The stories you think we should. I will tell you this though, I walk outside my animals. My dogs are refusing to go outside. Yeah, like refusing.

3:07 So I'm having to carry that little rambunk, just winter dog. And I know you have one to carry him outside howling. He howls like he's being an abused animal. Yeah, winder dogs don't like cold. No. I mean, my poor Phoebe is hiding undercovers constantly, and every time she gets out you would think it was I mean, we've got the heat on, it's like sixty eight in the house. She's shaken like a lace. Yeah. I'm like, come on, girl, you spoiled. Yeah. I know, we got to get our we got to get it under control. Yeah. And one more thing I do want to mention because I don't want to forget this. I want to thank I guess my favorite New Yorker for sending some ear rings this way last week. Oh yeah, the football earrings?

3:49 Yeah yeah, yeah, Kelly got some. I love them actually, and I really appreciate them. Yeah, I'm I'm gonna be wearing them. I have to post it on football season when. I for sure hundred percent. So thank you, miss Frankowski for the earrings. I'm going to pierce my ears and wear some myself. Right now. Yeah, what is. Sure your haters would never comment on it? Not at all. All right, let's get into it, and we're going to start out in Wilson, Louisiana, and the assistant police chief of the Wilson Police Department was stabbed in his home, allegedly by a girlfriend who discovered him in bed with another woman. The East Feliciana Pears Sheriff's Office responded to a stabbing call last Friday and Wilson around three am. Upon arrivals, deputies found Tyrone LaMarcus Kilbourne, Junior, thirty nine and off duty assistant chief suffering from at least two significant stab wounds. Kilbourne was transported to a local hospital for treatment and has been released to recover at home. With the visual state, he is expected to make a full recovery following an investigation, the Sheriff's office announced that Tamika Rochelle Armstead, forty seven, of Slaughter, Louisiana, was arrested in connection with that attack.

5:14 Hang on, his name is Kilbourne and she's from Slaughter, Yeah, I mean, it's like the article writes itself. It's poetic, is it not? I'm telling Armstead described two authorities as either a current or former girlfriend of Kilbourne faces I would probably say a former at least now faces charges a battery of a dating partner and aggravated assault of a dating partner. She was booked into the parish prison, where she remains in custody. Sheriff Jeff Travis confirmed the incident appeared to be domestic in nature and targeted, emphasizing it did not involve Kilbourne's official duties. No, if he's in bed with another woman, that wouldn't be part of the Sheriff's office protocol. Quote. This was a targeted attack, and we belie leave it was domestic, Travis said in an initial update, and no other individuals were reported injured.

6:06 The investigation is on going, with authorities withholding additional details about the circumstances leading up to the confrontation. Obviously they're investigating this now. East felicianis town of Wilson only has a population of four hundred, and of course the. One four hundred chants of dating someone who's. Yes, yeah, and he served as the assistant chief of police, uh, obviously contributing to the policing of that area. Yeah, he's he got cold. Well, they say caught in bed. So, I mean, it's hard to explain that one away. It's cold. How did you get it? It's cold? We were sharing warmth.

6:48 R heater was out and apparently that didn't work. No, Tamika, Friendmika, he ain't worth it. Booth like pain. We don't need to go stab in people. If he's going to cheat on you, move on right, move on right, I mean, good God, but yeah, to break it looks like he lived in a trailer. I'm looking at it right now, a little like a gray trailer. And so I'm wanting to know, though, don't you want to know? Like did she kick down the door? Did she have a key? You know? Did she jug him in bed? And the other girls just screaming like I want to know, I need more details come out. At some point I'm gonna be following that one call jeff Travis. I would Jeffrey Jeffrey come. Here before call me let me know so. Four young siblings from Utah who vanished following a Thanksgiving visit with their mother in late November of twenty twenty five, have been found safe in a state run orphanage in Croatia.

7:36 This according to authorities. The children's mother, Alicia and Seymour, thirty five, was arrested in the coastal city of Dubrovnik, and this was in January. On January twenty sixth of twenty twenty six, facing charges related to child abduction and custodial interference. The children, identified as Landen House Seymour, who was eleven, Levi Parker Seymour eight, Hazel Ray Seymour seven, and Jacob Kurt Brady three, were last seen with their mother during a court approved holiday visitation. Seymour, who shared custody with the children's fathers, allegedly fled the United States on a one way flight to Europe on November twenty ninth, twenty twenty five, taking the siblings with her without permission.

8:18 A welfare check conducted by West Jordan police on December second of twenty twenty five revealed that Seymour's home was unlocked and abandoned, which sparked an international search involving the FBI, family members, including the children's father. His name is Kendall Seymour. He's the ex husband to Alicia and the father to three of the children. Announced the discovery via social media and a go Fundme page on January twenty fifth to twenty six. The kids have been located and are trapped in an orphanage in Croatia, and real quick, I gotta say, they don't speak the language, and that must be so scary, not only to be taken, but then to not speak the language where you were brought assuming how terrifying for these kids. But he expressed relief but also frustration over their bureaucratic hurdles to bring them home. The Croatian Institute for Social Work is reviewing the case, requiring input from US authorities before releasing the children, citing the international nature of the incident. Investigators uncovered disturbing evidence at Seymour's residence, including a handwritten to do list that outline steps to evade detection, things like shred paperwork, destroy identifying photos, discard her phone and purchase a prepaid one. A note allegedly containing a delusional message from God promised she would be in Italy by Christmas, according to family accounts, Reports suggest that Seymour held beliefs in impending end of times and biblical prophecies, which may have motivated the flight, as shared by a former boyfriend with local media, Kendall Seymour told

9:48 outlets he was unaware of these beliefs during their marriage or post divorce. Seymour faces four counts of custodial interference and removing a child from the state of Utah, with the case now involving Croatian authorities on charges violating child rights. She was apprehended approximately four hundred miles from the orphanage's location, near is That Zagreb, Yes, Zagreb Zagreb. The US Embassy and Croatia and the FBI are assisting in the ongoing investigation, though officials have declined to comment on specifics. Family members describe the ordeal as horrifying, emphasizing the emotional toll on the children and the challenges ahead. It's not over yet, one relative stated, as efforts continue to reunite the siblings with their family in Utah. The GoFundMe has raised funds for travel and legal expenses, with Kendall currently in Croatia advocating for their return.

10:37 Yeah. So obviously this person is out of their mind, and you know, the end of the world's coming in I'm going to steal kids from the father and bring them not only I mean you're not talking about another state, You're talking about another all the way halfway across the world. What's it going to solve if you take them to Croatia? If the end of times are coming, what's Croatia going. To Well, it's the you know, the United States. So I don't know's she's not man. It's given Lori da Davel vibes. And also it's giving the the case that I did the Eight Passengers, where they just get so religiously thrown that you would take your children and put them in an orphanage.

11:21 Well, thank god, you know with Lori Davel, she just killed them. So, I mean, thank god she didn't kill them. Uh. The fact that they were found to me is a small miracle considering they're on a completely different side of the world. Croatia is not exactly like the United States when it comes to laws. And when you look at this daddy man, I don't know which father, you know, which kids or whatever in the photo, but he these are good people. He looks like a good man and he's just trying to love his children and then to find them in an orphanage in Croatia. Shout out to the FBI and for all the agencies involved in tracking down the kids and figuring this one out right amazing. All right, let's go to well, we're going to go to Ripley, West Virginia to tell you about this one.

12:03 And a thirty nine year old librarian has been arrested in charge with making terroristic threats after she allegedly used social media to recruit individuals to assassinate President Donald Trump. Morgan Moro was taken into custody on Sunday night following an investigation by Jackson County Sheriff's Office. In a post on platforms including TikTok and Instagram, according to officials, Moro posted videos and content explicitly seeking to enlist people, specifically mentioning someone with the terminal illness who could act as a sniper to target and kill the president. In one reported video, Moro allegedly stated something to the effect of quote, surely a sniper with a terminal illness can't be a big ask out of three hundred and forty three million people unquote, while calling for volunteers to carry out the act the Jackson count. The Sheriff's office described the post as a direct solicitation for others to pursue and assassinate President Trump. Morow faces one count of making a terroristic threat, a felony under West Virginia law. She was booked into the South Central Regional Jail following that arrest, and authorities emphasized that the case stemmed from a detailed investigation prompted by the concerning online content, with no indication that the actual plot advanced beyond the alleged recruitment attempts. Sheriff Tony Boggs confirmed the arrest and statements to local media and

13:35 noting the investigation remains active as officials review additional evidence from Moore's social media accounts. Comments on some of her posts reportedly included further suggestions of violence against other high profile figures, though the primary focus was President Trump. Moro was employed as a librarian in a small community of Ripley, population around thirty two hundred, and had no criminal record to speak of. President Trump's administration and Secret Service have faced multiple reported threats and attempted action since his return to office, though official stress this incident appears isolated and self initiated.

14:16 Yeah, what kind of breaking cuckoo coutch? You are you to think that you could solicit the murder of anyone? And you're just, yeah, you don't think it's a big ass to find a terminally ill sniper. Well, and look it is. It's absolutely ridiculous and really stupid for anybody to do that. I don't care what you think about Donald Trump. The fact that you would go online and publicly post that you're recruiting individuals to assassinate anybody President or anybody else for that matter, is really tells you what kind of brain power you're dealing with. But you know, in this case, you got to really watch those when you're the Secret Service, because look, man, people, people can be triggered by like nothing these days, and you got to take every threat seriously. Now, I'm going to post the uh, the picture of this woman online.

15:10 She is someone that if you if you're someone that would think who would threaten the president or who would threaten anybody for that matter, and go on Facebook and post about it. It would be what this lady looks like. That's the best way I can describe that. It's just what your picture. Yeah, someone who doesn't have any hobbies on athletic at best. She needs to stick to the books, stick to the books, get that Dewey decimal system rolling sister, and stay off social media because. I think they use the Dewey dusk. Well. She needs she needs to go back to it, and she needs to get her mind focused on that with a twist. Listen, listen, she needs a hobby. She needs a hobby.

15:53 She doesn't need a hobby other than you know, making threats against people because she may have thought that was harmless. Uh, but you never know who's gonna act on. Yeah, listen, we gotta we gotta get back to not being crazy, Like death cannot be what you want on. People that you disagree with. I don't have you ever, and I know this is a crazy thing I'm jumping on real have you ever literally wanted someone to die because you were mad at him? Like you wanted them to die I'm not saying go away because I have wanted. People to go away before. I'm not gonna incriminate myself on. The Okay, well, I will tell you this, my worst enemy, the person that that would that would go out of their way to try to even get me, I don't wish death on them. I just want them to leave me alone, go away, but not die. So to put that in perspective to me, that's insanity. That that's even the level we go to these days. You seem unimpressed with my commentary right now, Jim, I just okay, Okay.

16:50 Well fine, that's a lot. That's a lot for a librarian or anyone. Okay, let's go to Kansas City. Kansas City, Missouri, a twenty four year old man from Kansas City has been arrested and charged. With multiple felonies after allegedly selling the. Same two vehicles multiple times on Facebook marketplace, only to steal them back and resell them to new victims. So Mamadu Diallo faces fourteen felony counts, including six for first degree tampering with a motor vehicle and eight for forgery. And this is according to court documents filed in Jackson County prosecutors alleged that Diallo defrauded at least eight buyers out of more than twenty four thousand dollars between May and June twenty twenty five by using forged titles and bills of sale. The scheme involved two vehicles. Are you ready for this? You think it'd be like Alexi? Well not because of the value here, but you think it'd be like a vehicle worth stealing back? Right, We're talking a twenty thirteen gray Honda Civic and a twenty I'm not stealing a Honda Civic. I'm not going to prison for a Honda damn Civic. I and against it. I drove one in high school. But I'm not stealing a Honda damned Civic.

17:58 Not gonna do it. Jimothy, in your car, and that's what I'm doing. What do you drive? Tell the people? No? A sports car? Yeah, a nice sports car? All right. I don't want anybody showing up in the studio. Well you boost that one. You know what I'm saying. I'm going to get a good car. I'm not going to get a Honda Civic anyway, and a twenty thirteen. He stayed in the same the same grouping of age, brown, Buick Verano. Do you know what Varano is? Yep? What is it? Buick? You don't eat? It's a car. It's just like a little sedan, like. A little honestly, don't I never heard of that, all right, which Diallo advertised under the Facebook alias Yabal sharonet very very studious name here.

18:39 Yeah, all right, by much for Kevin Smith. Oh no, Yabell Yabell Yaba ball sharonet all right. Buyers would meet Diallo in person, pay cash, and receive what appeared to be legitimate paperwork. However, within hours or days, sometimes as little as seven hours, Diallo would locate and repossess the car, often at night. One victim captured security footage of him stealing the vehicle around one am on June thirteenth, twenty twenty five, just hours after the sale, providing key evidence for investigators. In another instance, Diallo attempted to sell the same car back to a previous buyer, so Kansas City Police began investigating after receiving eight stolen vehicle reports linked to this scam. Victims identified Diallo in photo lineups, and when questioned by detectives, he denied any involvement in buying or selling cars on the platform. That wasn't him, that was Yubbabal. Sharinet Diallo is currently held at the Jackson County Detention Center on a thirty thousand dollars cash only bond with additional holds from sheriff's offices in Johnson County, Kansas, Johnson County, Missouri, and Platte County, Missouri.

19:48 With two Johnson counties in two different states. I got one in Tennessee. Well, dad gum, they need to check there too. If convicted on all charges, he could face up to ninety eight years in prison, as each felony carries a map, some of them seven year sentence. Stealing, selling a car and stealing it back from the same person you sold it to. That's just unbelievable. And look these and then selling it again. Yeah, and I see these scams with Facebook Marketplace. I'm not down with Facebook Marketplace. I see too much going on lately. Criminals will find a way, and they have figured out the Facebook marketplace is a way to take advantage of people. I just saw a news article and we're not even going to cover today just because we got enough to cover but it was a Facebook marketplace deal where a lady met up with another lady and stabbed her. It's just man, you got to be careful when you don't know people. I don't do the Facebook marketplace thing, but if I'm if I were to do it, it's going to be a public place inside, like a coffee shop or something. I don't care if I'm buying tupperware from me. I mean, it's just just not worth it, not.

21:05 Me online a tupperware, a tupperware scam and trying to get you to buy it. I have a thing for tupperware. I guess Hey, that old school tupperware was good man. Yeah. Yeah, you drop it off a building, it wouldn't crack. I mean made a solid steel practically. It seemed like, all right, let's go to Maryland and kJ you ever been to Applebee's. I have been to Applebee's. Okay, it is good food. And I was shocked and shook it because one of them. I walked in and there was a picture of my grandfather on the wall and an apple Bee's. That is a true story. He was a football legend. He was indeed. Oh yeah, I forgot you knew him? Yeah, he paddled me. He was he did in high school.

21:49 You should acted right. Caught Mudd riding in uh on campus office. No, I was off campus. That was a problem. I was skipping class and I got caught ride and uh right by the school because we were so smart in those days. And I had a four wheel drive Bronco uh huh and uh. We wanted to try it out. And it was a new construction area, of course, and we got stuck, and so I had to go to the school and call someone to pull me out. And he said, well, you know, you're either going to miss a football game tonight or you're gonna get that paddle. And I said, give me that. Paddle, y'all. You heard it here. First, my grandfather spanked my co host.

22:29 Thank. I mean he didn't hold back either, that sucker. Hear me harm, But it was worth it. I only heard for about five minutes that night I played ball. Oh yeah, all right, let's get back to the article. So I'm glad to hear you've been to Applebee's, But next time you go, you may want to be careful if you go to the one in Maryland, because two adults were arrested for engaging in sexual activity in broad daylight in the parking lot of an Applebee's in Maryland. Hey, some people the food get some sizzling. Yeah. Well, in this case, they were overly excited because the Saint Mary's County Sheriff's Office responded to multiple calls around four pm. Okay, so this is like freaking dinner time, man, old people regarding a suspicious vehicle in the parking lot.

23:23 Deputies arrived to find Kenesha Letasha Groce, who is thirty five, of Lexington Park, and James Matthew Washington, who is fifty eight. Oh, what's the old Woman's a cougar? What's the old man? An old man is a sugar daddy. Oh that's right, it must be a sugar daddy. Yeah, fifty eight and thirty five of Capital Heights, allegedly naked and in the midst of intercourse in the back seat of the car. According to witness statements detailing Detailed and charging documents, One observer reported seeing the pair having sex with Grace's legs visibly raised, while another confirmed both individuals were completely nude during the act. The incident occurred in full view of passers by, leading to charges of indecent exposure and disorderly conduct against both parties. Grace was taken into custody and released later that day after posting a two thousand dollars bond.

24:21 Washington was held overnight and released on his recognis the following day, and both are scheduled to appear in court February twenty third. Under Maryland law, and decent exposure is classified as a misdemeanor published by a year, punishable by a year in jail at one thousand dollars fine. Disorderly conduct carries a maximum penalty of ninety days and a five hundred dollars fine. No prior criminal history for either one of the individuals released in the report, So you know both miss demeanor. They're not going to do any jail time over this cost him a couple thousand bucks? Is it worth it to do the de eat in the parking lot?

25:01 I think this might have gotten everybody a prostitution thing. No, you don't know they were a couple, bro, You sure? I'm sure, Dawn, they were a couple. That's a weird looking couple, like a weird grouping. Well, I mean, I don't judge. I'm just saying, yes, we do, missing the point of it. They had a sex of it out. I know, but I'm wondering if they did because he paid and he was ready. He was ready. Maybe that's why she's winning and going and the eight year olds know what's up? What kind of car were they? Where you can get your legs up above your head right there? And dad, you know, wasn't my car? We can fit those twelve meals that we bought for charity getting there. Well, you know, listen, a hotel room's cheap.

25:46 You could go home, you know. Yeah, And I mean if you want to be a little you know, riskue, a little risque, or you want to have a little fun with your husband and take a chance, do it at three o'clock in the morning, not at four o'clock in the after noon. Or go out in the wilderness, you know, where only the animals are going to be offended. That is not really in public. You know, some people they like that. Rest well, I don't want to see that in public. Pick your legs. Down, go have you on margarita and go too, for sure, good God, get it together. But yeah, yeah, wilding at the Appleban's right in Maryland. All right, So let's go to Florida them all right. So a thirty six year old homeless man was swiftly rearrested this past Tuesday morning after allegedly choking and attacking a thirteen year old boy with a knife at a school bus stop, just days after being released from custody on unrelated charges. Christopher Stephen Schwabble. He faces charges of aggravated child abuse and aggravated assault with the deadly weapon following the unprovoked incident around eight twenty two am.

26:50 And I believe this is Dland. I've never been there before, DeLand, Florida. Is that what you would say? What I would say? All right? DeLand police responded to reports of a possible stabbing and found Schwabble on the ground with a injury, restrained by a good Samaritan bystander who intervened to protect the teen, Thank God. Witnesses told investigators that Schwable approached the seventh grade student from Southwestern Middle School, who was waiting for the bus with his brother. The suspect allegedly grabbed the boy by the throat, brandished a green and black folding knife, and began assaulting him. The team managed to break free and run or suffering minor cuts, including to a finger, and visible distress, but no life threatening injuries. A passing driver, Joseph Wells, spotted the struggle while taking.

27:33 His own fifteen year olds on to school. After making a U turn, Wells confronted Schwable, who reportedly pulled the knife from his sleeve and threatened him. In self defense, Wells struck Schwabble twice with a toolbox he was carrying and held him down until officers arrived. Police recovered the knife from beneath Schwable and took him into custody after he received medical treatment for his injuries. The team later recounted the terrifying encounter to officers on body camera footage, describing how the man approached said things he could not understand or make out. Then he grabbed him, pulled out the knife and tried to hit him repeatedly. And this is a quote. I just kind of tried to get out of the way, but he kept grabbing me, the boy said. His sister, Fernie Fertill told media outlets her brother remained shaken and paranoid from the random attack, adding that he is reluctant to ride the school bus again.

28:25 He's feeling a little bit better, but probably a little paranoid because it was unprovoked, she said. Court records show Schwable had been released from the Vlusha County jail on January thirteenth, twenty twenty six, just about a week prior after his December twenty twenty five arrest on charges of indecent exposure and possession of drug paraphernalia. These charges were dropped by prosecutors unrelated to the bus stop incident. Schwable, described is described as a transient and currently homeless. Was booked into jail on a five thousand dollars bond initially, though a judge later deemed him a danger to the public and or ordered no bond following his first court appearance. Good job to that judge.

29:05 Lusia County Schools issued a statement staying they are collaborating with law enforcement and local authorities to enhance monitoring and safety at bus stops across the district. The community has praised the brave intervention by Wells, who told reporters he acted on instinct fight or flight, kicked in my body chose fight. He affirmed he would step in again if needed. Schwabble remains in custody as this investigation continues. Yeah, and we'll post the picture of Schwabble. Let me tell you this dude beat the shit out of Squabble. Wait do you see the picture. I mean, this is like in shout out to that guy. So many people see things like this happen and they don't want to get involved. And I understand that and U but had this guy not got involved, that could have been really bad. Absolutely, it could have been killed. Yeah, and so shout out to him. It sounds like he didn't hesitate. He saw something and he.

30:01 Acted, and you know, that's fatherly instinct. And I think that's one of the beautiful things too. You know, we're talking about bad stuff all the time here, but that's one of the beautiful things about being a parent is that you will protect a good parent, you'll protect other people's kids too. You recognize the threat. You had your own fifteen year old in the car, and you said, hold on, scar hit a yuwie, and then beat the shit out of this sky on the side of the road. And look, I don't know why, but I was expecting this to be an older man, like in my mind, and this bad guy here is young, you know. Yeah, and indecent in decent exposure. Thirty six Yeah, yeah, pretty young. But in decent exposure. That stresses me and it makes me wonder why he was trying to choke this boy. Yeah, so I think that judge. For once I can say I appreciate what this judge did here.

30:47 Yeah, looks like, look, Florida. Don't play that about Florida. Uh well, we're going to bring you an update that we got on a case we covered just a few months ago, some breaking news, if you will, and that is that former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, who is also known as Kelly's crush. Oh what bounty issues stop, has been captured. He's been caught after a bounty was issued in the amount of fifteen million. Dollars money talks.
