1:14 I'm Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly Jennings. Wait, I'm this one. Kelly in Louisiana. Famed podcaster Kelly Jennings loses her Facebook posting privileges after posting non crime related content on the Facebook page. Listen, this is America. It is allright. Well, I mean, you know, after my thousands of messages of where is there a crime? When a what was it? A frog house is posted on Facebook? I did it. I didn't even known what to tell them. I just told them I would take care of it. Next time I saw Kelly and her posting rights, we'll be revoked for the next two weeks.
2:02 It was a happy moment, and the ladies liked it so well. Step off or hop off. I want to thank the thousands of you that reached out to ask me to discipline Kelly for this. Transgression. Yes, I'm just kidding, y'all. I did see that. It got a lot of comments. And if you're wondering what this chick does in her spare. Time, there you go. She builds frog houses. Everyone needs equitable housing. Okay, well they got it. They're all going to be at your house now. I'm sending on mine over there. How about that. I'll take it all right. Let's get into today's crime related content and We're going to start off in Louisiana and a Tickfall man is now being charged with murder after shooting in a car, hitting and killing a seventeen year old pregnant girl during a road rage incident. Caitlyn Straight, seventeen of Ponchitula, died just two days after that incident. Straight, who was a passenger in a Ford expedition in the Pontchitula area. When that incident occurred, Barry West, who was fifty four of Tickfall, was driving a Dodge truck.
3:21 In the same directions. The two cars were tailgating and break checking each other before West fired his gun, hitting Straight, who was in the passenger seat. The driver of the car realized Straight was shot and called nine one one before driving to the hospital. Straight was pregnant and miraculously the baby was delivered via C section and is doing well in NICU. Deputy said West believed the occupants of the car in front of him shot at him first, but evidence confirmed no other shots were fired in that incident and no weapon was found. In the car the victim was traveling in. West charges had been upgraded to include one count of second degree murder. The remaining charges include three counts of attempted second degree murder, one count each of the legal use of a weapon, and obstruction of justice. A passenger in the vehicle with straight said that Barry West drove up behind them in that pickup truck and the two vehicles started tailgating and break checking each other, and that's when West shot one round into THATUV.
4:29 Quote. I guess we must have been break checking him or something. The guy was in road rage. He crashed into the back of their car and then began shooting. When Caitlin looked back to see what happened, she got shot in the head. What you know, this is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous, and that man should be ashamed of himself. That baby started out life without a mama over a road regency. I'm sure he's yeah, I mean, he definitely should be a shamed as he's a piece of fuck. If you ask me, uh, you know, the road rage stuff is really gotten. Out of hand, really gotten out of hand.
5:09 And look, let me tell you something, if you're on the other side of that, just be cognizant even if somebody's being an asshole man, even if they're out there, you know, riding your bumper and doing all kinds of stupid stuff. You never know what people have in that vehicle. And I've been on the side of that where I've kind of almost lost my caol with someone that's tailgating me or doing something stupid. But it's not worth your life ever, It's not worth your life. Just just let them buy. How are you taking it that personal? And I'm not above it. I mean, I've gotten pissed off at drivers too, but like, how is it that personal? I guess maybe I'm getting older. I'm just like look at people and laugh out. I'm like, you're an idiot, and I. Just try to go about my business. But it's because of people like this.
5:51 Yeah, you know what I'm saying. My sister she drives a BMW and I don't know why, but something about that car it pisses other people off. I guess because she was just driving down the interstate and this guy was running up on her rear end and stuff, and she's like, what the hell, So she threw up a bird because she got, you know, aggravated. After a while, the dude pulls up next to her, pulls a gun out and sticks it while they're driving down the interstate and points it at her going down the interstate, and she was like, whoa dude, Come on, you know people are nuts. Yeah, that's the problem. You can't handle a little, a little vehicular interaction. You don't need to be carrying a gun. Well yeah, and you know, you just never know who you're dealing with. You never know who's in that other vehicle. It's just better just killed a pregnant I hope you're proud.
6:35 I hope when you go to prison and they're asking. Me, he's gonna he's running his life. Yeah, end of her life, and you've destroyed your own. I hope it was worth it that that thirty second interaction. It's just disgusting and there's no I don't know, there's nothing else to say about it. Like are you serious? Yeah, like really that's what we're doing now? Well it's it's uh, it's a prime example of one quick witted. Mistake, and you can lease your life on both ends of it. This guy's ruined his life because he got pissed off and lost his shit for twenty seconds, however long it was. I don't know who this guy was. I don't know if this was at a character for him, or if he was just a total asshole life. But you know, two better people. This has happening way too often these days, do way better.
7:26 How about that? All right, let's go to Iowa. We're still going to be dealing with a vehicle here, but a woman in Iowa faces multiple charges after asking gas station customers to blow into her interlock device. Officers with the North Liberty Police Department were dispatched on July the fourth to a quick Star where there was a report of a woman asking people to blow into her interlock device for her. Police found thirty four year old Kristen State sitting in the driver's seat of a running vehicle when they arrived at the scene. According to a criminal complaint, State was the only one in the car. Officer made contact with State and noticed a strong smell of alcohol. Police also said that State had watery and bloodshot eyes and slurred and delayed speech. State told them that she hadn't been drinking. The officers asked State to perform some standardized field sobriety tests. According to the criminal complaint, she failed two of those tests and showed signs of impairment during the ones she completed. Testings revealed that State's blood alcohol content was point three five one.
8:25 That's crazy, that's insane. State is charged with operating while under the influence, driving while license is denied or revoked, and tampering or circumventing with an ignition interlock device. State has had three prior operating while under the influence convictions within the last twelve years. A couple things crazy about that article right there. Number one, three point five to one alcohol level. I don't know how you're not dead. Point three to five one. Yeah that, I don't know how you're not dead. Uh, you know, I've had people talk to me off of you know, sometimes they'll have officers intentionally get drunk when they're training and they're going through these DWI procedures, and they've had guys sit down that look, they they drink a lot, and they get sit down and they drink twelve beers and basically shotgun these twelve beers. There's still not three point five to one whatever, they're still not that. That's crazy. That's almost dead. That's almost dead.
9:28 If you're four, you're dead. In most cases. She obviously is an alcoholic. We can start there. But yeah, one, this woman though this isn't The numbers aside are crazy. But three dwi's now in twelve years and twelve years, and you're gonna you're averaging one at what every four I'm not good at math, but yes, you're gonna kill people. You may kill yourself, but you're gonna kill somebody. It's just a master. The percentage goes up every time. And you know, in this case, she didn't even have the right to be driving. I mean, she couldn't even start her own car. Yeah, which those of you that may don't know what an interlock device is. You have to breathe in it, and if you have any alcohol in your system, your car won't start. But imagine being at the grocery store or the gas station or whatever, and this woman walks up and says, we bliek we you breathe them by What kind.
10:20 Of freaking idiot would do that? That's what you got to ask yourself. Thank god, nobody did. Well and they reported it, which is excellent because it got her off the street. Because I'm right, I mean, and I hate I feel like sometimes I sound like such a stickler, you know, like, but damn, I mean, if you're just gonna be pounding drinks like that and you can't handle it. Fine, there's uber like damn. Yeah, there's all these options. Oh stupid, this is This is stupidity. And I hope that a judge looks at this and goes, all right, bitch, how about we just lock you up for a while, and then you can't get on the street. But the question is how did she get there? Yeah? I know she drove there drumming, But how did she do that? If you can't start your car without some he blew on it exactly. That's my point. Somebody somewhere was dumb enough to blow on it for this lady to get her to the gas station, or or she shotgun the drinks.
11:12 That or she started the car and it idled. Think about it. She could have started that car and let it idle because she knew she was going to be drinking and she'd be going somewhere. Could of Yeah, I mean it is possible. Think like an idiot. I mean, you're willing to get multiple d w i's you're gonna do, dumb ship. Just let it run and then went out and let it run while you were in the ball room. Yeah, really really, But I don't condone that and don't do that. But if I was a I know this is this is why God. Didn't make me the brightest one, because if I was able to be a judge, people would just they would cringe when they walked into my courtroom because I would be like, you're done. This is something that if we don't stop it, nothing's going to If nothing changes, nothing changes, you put it interlock device in. At this point, I think that these laws should continue to compound, which they I believe they do.
12:04 But I'm saying that we. Need technology is hicked a lot. We need to do some serious time for this. I agree, some serious time. I had heard somewhere that the first defense was a misdemeanor. It is that's crazy, it is, asked me because the guy who drove his drunk ass into my house with a truck and could have killed my family, it's a misdemeanor. Yeah, that's crazy. It should never be. It should be a felony. First ten thousand dollars in property damage and he's got a misdemeanor. Nuts. Now you know why I'm so angry about that. You shouldn't have given me that story. Now I'm going to be pissed off. The rest of the day. Sorry film, Sorry, We'll go to Massachasis and we're going to talk about a former US Postal inspector who oversaw the fraud department for the US Postal Service. Well, he's been charged with stealing more than three hundred and thirty thousand dollars from packages mailed by victims, in using the money for home renovations, vacations, and even escorts.
13:02 Scott go wait, wait, wait, wait, we're going from home renovations to esport's. Right, the love of God, I mean, Scott Kelly, he's a player right In fifty one of Massachusetts, he was charged in a forty. Five count indictment returned by Green Jerry in Boston for. Wire fraud, mail, fraud, mail, theft by postal officer, theft of government money, a whole bunch of shit. After allegedly stealing cash from packages, Kelly laundered it and used fifteen thousand, four hundred dollars to pay for sexual services from two escorts. Damn, that's some expensive escort. Fifteen thousand, four hundred dollars in escort Jim in the sky and turned into Sunshine.
13:46 Listen, we have to start a. Man escorts. Fifteen thousand, four hundred dollars for two escorts? Is that over a period? That must have been some fine looking women or they knew they're craft Now that ain't over time? He just paid. That was a one shot deal. Damn Scott, we want, we want. Seven thousand whatever it is, two hundred. Dollars inch to get this stuff and he paid it. Well, it was somebody else's money. It was easy for him. Yeah, it's a no burner here, you know. Damn crazy sometimes. On work days. Uh, and went on to say on work days, so.
14:27 That's like doing any work he's putting the massive Yeah, I guess it. Was more than once thirty and eighty eight dollars for a new swimming pool patio and lighting a granite countertop for his outdoor bar, and forty three hundred dollars for a Caribean cruise. I mean I'm in the wrong business all over the place. Is a Caribbean or carew? I say Caribbean? I say Caribbean? Is there a right and wrong? Is there is there a right? Wrona? I think so? Because I want to be right? Wait, wait, how do you see? Well, let's ask. Let's ask the people they loved the last time to tell me I was wrong on something? Is it Caribbean or Caribbean? Caribbean, Pirates of the.
15:07 We're asking the listeners. I know, but the movie I say Pirates of the I know. One listener in particular. Wait, listen, Yeah, the movie, I say Pirates of the Caribbean. You don't say Caribbean. But the Caribbean to me is in the Caribbean. That's crazy. Wait one more. That's sticky stuff that comes on an a. Pablo, tell me if I'm right or not Caribbean or Caribbean. I know you're going to answer that. Don't let me down. Kelly's right. That's that's sticky stuff that comes on an apple at the fair. It's brown. How do you say that word? I don't know. We're getting off topic, apple, caramel? How do you say it? Caramel? Apple? You say caramel, caramel apple? All right? We agree. If other people say say caramel, I was gonna slap.
15:50 You, well, that wouldn't be wrong. That's probably the correct paramel. Whatever Carmel. Then the New Orleans the school's Mount Carmel. Let's get back to the stories. But the people have been waiting, all right, go ahead. The US Postal Inspection Service is the law enforcement arm of the Postal Service, and from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty two, Kelly worked as a team leader for its Mail for aug unit, which investigates scams of the very people he targeted. He also worked as a team leader of the Mail Theft unit from June of twenty twenty two to August of twenty twenty three. Kelly allegedly sent deceitful emails to unwitting postal employees between twenty nineteen and twenty twenty three, telling them to intercept packages that were determined to have been sent by victims of a Jamaican scam.
16:40 The targeted Americans. The scammers claim the victims need to spend money to get a lottery or sweepstakes winning. Kelly told postal investigators to send the packages. Directly to him. Postal workers were authorized to intercept the packages flagged as likely to have been sent by victims of a scam, but weren't allowed to open them without the sender's consent. If it was opened, the postal worker was required to count the cash with another worker present and mail the sender. A check for that amount. Yeah, I hold your breath on that one. Kelly is believed to have requested nineteen hundred and fifty fifty packages be sent to him, stealing the cash inside.
17:21 And this is just sad. The oldest alleged victim was eighty two. The victims mailed between fourteen hundred dollars and nineteen thousand, one hundred each to the scammers. Kelly allegedly met with one of the victims, falsely telling that victim that a package wasn't found and that their loss was their own fault because they had mailed cash. None of the victims were covered the packages or their cash. He is also accused of using the key of another postal inspector who was a direct report to him, stealing seven thousand dollars from an evidence locker, and blaming the employee for the theft of cold. Bruh, that's cold.
18:03 Kelly laundered nearly three hundred and forty thousand dollars in cash by buying postal money orders and hiding the fact that he was a purchaser and paye, spreading out more than sixty bank deposits through four bank accounts at two banks. He faces up to twenty years in prison for each each offense. Now let me just say this, Uh, he was obviously pretty good at planning, and he got away with it for a while. And I mean all the way down to separate banks, buying money orders, all. Of that cash. Why didn't you just spend the cash? I mean, that's a lot of cash have on you. I guess he didn't want to get charged with something and half cash on it. But you made a record there wouldn't have been I'm not trying to be a criminal here, but like you made a record where there wouldn't have been one.
18:50 I can't. I don't know, I don't have I don't think like him. Criminal Jim. The point of the story is, Look, scams are a big fricking deal. So let me tell you this. People do do this dumb show. Oh absolutely, So I met a guy allegedly not allegedly, he actually did prison time who Unfortunately, when you when you're in the fraud business or in the business of detecting fraud, obviously that's going to alert you to how the fraud is done. Yeah. So I had a friend and how they follow up on it. Yeah, so I'm gonna say friend loosely. I mean we're not good friends or anything. But anyway, he did time in prison. Well, one day, after some drinking, I'm like, bro, I gotta know I went to prison like this is you know some it had to be blue collar.
19:31 You are not a thug. And he was like, yeah, I kind of messed up. So he was a manager at a bank and he figured out looking through I guess through the fraud or this type of detection type stuff, accounts that have been opened for over so many years. The money, if no one collects it gets turned over to the government. Well, after working at the bank, Solong, He's like, well, hell, why would we give the money to the government. I'll take the money, that's fine, And so he started closing out these really really old accounts and pocketing the cash. I think he might have been telling you a little Lori Johnson, I know you're listening to I'm gonna need you to confirm. I think I don't think the government could give that money. No, really, after so many years, I think it's. Just unclaimed money they just hold onto until somebody came, you.
20:14 Know, Okay, lor Johnson, Vice president Hancock Quinney Bank let us know, because I know you're listening to this to shield. Lesson because we got a letter from a bank, because. He might have been telling you that. So it didn't look so bad, bro, you did he did time in the federal pen. Yeah, but he don't want you think he'd steal from. All right, I'm calling him that, Lourie. Maybe right, You just don't that seems kind of sus to me. There's there's been a trend of me being right here Leland. Yes, that, well, we'll we'll find out one. Here's one that we can't agree on, then all right, O, case we can agree on and it's in Tennessee. A dismembered leg dredged from a Tennessee creek on the fourth of July was positively identified as belonging to an alleged sexual predator and one of the county's most wanted criminals.
21:03 Police announced the decomposing appendage was determined to be part of Joseph Frank Benton, who had been missing since he was slapped with forty charges for unlawful possession of dozens of weapons, explosives, and sexual exploitation of a miner in twenty twenty four. After more than a year on the lamb. He's also facing extra charges for violating his probation. The body part was fished out of the Sulfur Fork Creek, a seventeen mile tributary that runs between Kentucky and Tennessee. The creek is in Robertson County, in just six minutes outside of Springfield, where Benton's last address was listed before skimping out in his probation, Benton was at the heart of a two decade cold case concerning one of his son's old flames, who briefly lived with a family in Tennessee.
21:46 The girl, twenty two year old Jennifer Wicks, and her two year old daughter, Adriana, both disappeared on March twenty fifth, two thousand and four, while living with the Bentons. No bodies were ever recovered, and Benton's son, Joey he told authorities he simply dropped the pair off at a gas station and watched them leave in a white car. Wicks reportedly called her mother the day she disappeared and sobbed about an argument that she had had with one of the Bentons. She was planning on moving out, her cousin said, and this was around the time that she went missing too. The elder Boston was last captured, sporting a wiry, out of controlled beard, bearing a strong resemblance to a nightmarish Santa Claus. That's creepy to some followers of the notorious cold case suggested that Benton might have severed his own leg to throw authorities off his trail. For this one, I will make an exception. The creep probably severed his own legs so he could continue to evade justice. And if not, and he is dead, well at least his family will get the closure that the Wicks family has never been given. I have no sympathy for those who could not offer sympathy and decency to the family of such a young mother and her child. That was one Facebook user and what they theorized.
22:56 I'm not buying that the dig cut his own leg off either. I mean, to you know, cutting the fingers off is one thing. You had a major artery, it's running through your Yeah, I mean, I'm no doctor, but hacking off your own leg to a void now you're even more obvious out in the public. You're missing the damn leg. Well, it's people, you know, people get caught up, all right, let's go to France. Let's go to front. If you don't know why we did that, go back a few episodes. You'll see, all right, a woman and this is no laughing matter. Actually. A woman claimed she woke up to a man trying to rape her in a Paris hotel after an airline booked her into a room.
23:37 With two strangers. Let me tell you this story. The unnamed thirty year old from Brazil said the arrangement was made by TAP Air Portugal after their flight from Paris to Lisbon was canceled. The man was also a passenger on the canceled flight, and they ended up in a triple room did to the shortage of singles. After taking their seats on the plane, passengers were reportedly told to disembark and visit the Tap kiosk here reservation vouchers for hotel rooms could be collected, but single rooms were limited, and the woman claimed she was told by the airline she would have to spend the night in the hotel with two other passengers. She said quote, I refused demanding a room just for myself, but I was told this was not an option. Either I had to accept or pay out of my own pocket, something that was unfeasible for me. Here in Paris, a German woman and Brazilian man were apparently booked into the room alongside her. The Brazilian woman, who worked as a consultant, continued during the night, the German woman left the room and I was woken up with a naked man on top of me, kissing my neck, holding me down and trying to rape me. Luckily, I managed to defend myself, screamed, and he left the room.
24:55 Still the scars of the episode remained. She claims to have contacted TAP after the traumatic ordeal, but has received no response. However, she did receive guidance on how to access the services of the Portuguese Victims Support Association. A lawsuit has been reportedly filed against the airline I would imagine so for more harassment and negligence, and the woman is seeking legal and psychological support in Brazil. She has also filed a police report about the sexual incident. Unbelievable and why does that really happen that they would put you in a word? I mean, obviously it does, but that is crazy. Who would do that?
25:37 Is that common there or something that it must be because I. Don't ever remember hearing a story in the United States about I mean, people miss flights and they give them hotel vouchers, but well, flights are delayed, but they don't put them with strangers. Like hell, I would be in a real really and you can give me a voucher for a bunch of coffee us. As a real pretty girl. Oh my god, I'm over there. I want y'all. I joke. I'm away on the floor, and I might be like, I want some some powdered doughnuts and a keychain and some other shit because I'm not going in a room with somebody else. Hey, that makes me think of something. One time, a girl though, no, not even another girl should know.
26:17 I trust no one. I don't even trust you. One time, my mom was working. She would have to travel out of town and they would stay obviously these hotels to do these seminars, and so they gave her her room key and she was staying with her best friend. They both worked together, so they were staying together in a room, separate beds. Well, my mama takes the key, goes into the room, and she goes and she drops the stuff down on the bed and then her her friend's name is Debbie. They kind of looked at each other and they were like, what the hell, And they walked over and opened the bathroom door and there was a man in the shower. They had put them in a room with a person that was already. In there, and they left, obviously. But I've had something similar happen.
26:59 No way, I've walked in a room one time with a key that they gave me and it was someone else's room. They weren't in there, but their luggage and stuff was all sitting there, and you could tell me, yeah, I think this was in like when we went to Disney World one year or something, and there was even like bags of shopping stuff, and I'm like, I don't think this is the right room. Sure enough, they had messed up and gave us a copy, a key copy to the wrong room. That's crazy. Like what if it was in the middle of the night and you were asleep I walked in, Yeah, oh my god, you might see something you don't want to see. Might or something I do want to see.
27:39 God, lock your doors, people, gims out. I'm telling you all right, look Florida, Okay, now, this this place actually always scared me speaking of scary shit, but chuck E Cheese. You ever been. Read the story? And I'll tell you. I'll tell you what I know about Jack. Newly released bodycam fo shows the arrest of a man dressed in a Chucky Cheese mascot costume in Florida. The man, who who was identified as Jurmel J. Jones, was working his shift at the restaurant on Wednesday, July twenty third, when the officers rushed into the building and took him into custody. In the video released by the Tallahassee Police Department, officers can be seen struggling to handcuff Jones, at first telling him to stop resisting, before grabbing his arms and pulling them behind his back. Come with me, Chucky, one of the officers can be heard saying as they lead as they led him out of the restaurant into the parking lot. After patting him down and taking off the mascotthead, the officer tells Jones he's accused of some fraud stuff with a credit card, to which.
28:39 Jones denies prost The charges fraud stuff with a credit. Card, to which Jones denies using anyone else's card and insists he only uses his own cash app. He later admitted to officers that he sometimes used a cousin's card, identifying her only as Key. That was the name Key Key. Maybe it's short for la Keishaan or something, all right. This came after a woman approached officers at the scene and allegedly provided video evidence identifying Jones as the person who made fraudulent purchases with her child support debit card. She told police she last used the card on June twenty eighth, during her child's birthday party at the restaurant. Police found the woman's debit card in Jones's pocket during the arrest. My god, dude.
29:19 Investigators also reviewed surveillance footage from a nearby store, along with transaction logs that allegedly showed he had used the card in multiple locations. Jones was charged with three felonies, theft of a credit card, criminal use of personal identification information, and fraudulent use of a credit card over two times within six months. We have taken the appropriate action concerning the subject employee, a spokesperson for Chuck E. Chiese said, and Jones was booked and released the next morning on a one thousand dollars bond. Wow, wild story. You ever been to Chuck E Chee. I haven't. It would scare the shit out of you whenever that thing with the guitar would lean forward in his head. Oh my god, trauma. Uh the audio animatronic. Yeah, that's they should call it trauma because that was scary.
30:02 Well, I've also been there. And here's something you don't know about me. Not only have I been there, I worked there. Of course you did. Not only did I work there. I was sixteen and I was Chucky Cheese. Oh my god, I am in the room with the mask Cheese. That's right, And look I got You want to know how I got fired. Because it ain't easy being cheese. They got fired from Chucky Cheese. Why did you get fired? So that was a fun job, y'all, It really was. It was fun. I'd go out there in the little costume for birthday parties and stuff. I was sixteen years old. And one of the things that people don't realize if you've ever been to Disney World or something like that, if you notice when you go up to the characters, they cover their mouth a lot. And the reason they do that it's cute. It looks like they look surprised, but that's not why they do it. They do it because that's how they see out. There's a netting where their mouth is, and that's how you see in front of you. So they cover it because if you get close enough, you can see someone's face behind that. Well, I would do that when the kids would come up. One time, I forgot to do that at a party, and so this kid came up and his kids looking, and I can see he sees me, and so I throw my hand up to cover my mouth and he.

He said there like three times, and he kicked me in the nuts. No kidding hard. This was like, look, this wasn't a birthday party with a six year old. This dude was like twelve, Like what are you doing at chuck e cheese? Anyway? Grow up? So he's running around he's telling on for he ain't no real, chuck E Chee kick me in the nuts.

Everything's loud, everybody's hooting and hollering, and he says, Chucky Cheese just said shit, and the whole party stopped. I mean it was like you could hear a pin drop and everybody's looking at Chucky Cheese. I eat me And I just looked at him and said, he lying, My god. I went took my Chucky Cheese costume off.
