    California School Board Votes To Fire Science Teacher Who Appeared In X-Rated Videos

     

    A California school board voted unanimously last night to fire a science teacher whose students recently discovered that she has appeared in a variety of hardcore pornographic films.

    Officials with the Oxnard school district announced that they had canned Stacie Halas, who taught science at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School. Halas, 31, filmed the X-rated videos before her employment at the school, where she was placed on leave last month.

    School administrators began probing Halas’s porn past after students discovered explicit clips of her online. As seen in the below grid of photos, Halas appeared in a variety of adult videos.

    While not commenting on the propriety of Halas’s appearance in porn flicks, Oxnard school officials noted that they were concerned about the disruption it would cause were she to return to the classroom.

    Halas, who was not present for last night’s meeting, has 30 days to appeal the board’s ruling.

    Cops: Arrested McDonald's Worker Sweetened Patrons’s Tea With His Own Phlegm

    A McDonald’s worker was arrested yesterday for spitting into the tea of two South Carolina customers who returned their drinks because they were not sufficiently sweet, according to police,

    Marvin Washington, Jr. was charged with malicious food tampering, a felony, in connection with the incident Saturday at the restaurant in Simpsonville.

    According to an arrest warrant, “bodily fluid (spat) was found in two sweet teas” purchased by the victims (a 33-year-old woman and her 13-year-old daughter). When a Greenville County Sheriff’s Office deputy reviewed surveillance video from the eatery, Washington was observed “filling up and serving the teas.”

    The video also showed the 19-year-old Washington “leaning his face down to the drinks before filling them with tea.”

    The victims--a mother and daughter who bought the teas at the drive-thru window--discovered the tampering when they arrived home and opened the containers to add more sugar. That it when they discovered phlegm floating atop both drinks.

    Washington, pictured in the above mug shot, was booked yesterday into the Greenville County jail. He was freed after posting $5000 bond. If convicted of the tampering count, he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

    Georgia Girl, 6, Gets Handcuffed, Arrested After Throwing Tantrum In Kindergarten Class

    After throwing a tantrum in her kindergarten class, a six-year-old Georgia girl was cuffed and stuffed into a police cruiser last Friday and charged with simple assault and property damage, according to a police report.

    Salecia Johnson’s outburst occurred at Creekside Elementary School in Milledgeville, where the child allegedly pushed fellow students, threw items off a teacher’s desk, tore material from the walls, and tossed a small shelving unit (which struck the school’s principal in the leg).

    When a Milledgeville Police Department officer attempted to calm Johnson down, the child “pulled away and actively began resisting and fighting with me,” reported the cop. As a result, the officer decided to handcuff the girl “for her safety as well as others safety in the area.”

    In the face of criticism from Johnson’s parents, police brass defended the patrolman’s decision to handcuff the girl, citing department policy that requires all detainees to be handcuffed while being driven in a squad car.

    According to the police report, an officer “made six attempts” to contact Salecia’s mother before he transported her to the police department, where the child was later released into her aunt’s custody.

    Johnson was charged with simple battery of a school teacher, damage to property, and unruly juvenile. The child is pictured above in a screen grab from a TV report in which she was interviewed along with family members.

    Face Behind The Name: Meet Yasir Mehmood, Accused Fraudster And Fan Of Masturbation Furniture

    Meet Yasir Mehmood.

    As TSG reported last week, the California resident was charged this month with stealing the “identification, credit card, and financial information” of various victims, which he used to buy, among other things, two pieces of “masturbation furniture.”

    According to federal agents, Mehmood, 40, used the checking account of one victim to purchase $341.84 worth of products from Interactive Life Forms, producer of the “Fleshlight” series of sex toys. Mehmood bought a pair of “mounts” into which a “Fleshlight” is plugged (the “On a Mission” and “Two-Play” models).

    Investigators found both “mounts” during an April 3 search of the Sacramento home of Mehmood, who is pictured above in a United States Marshals Service mug shot.

    Mehmood, who has been locked up for the past week, appeared yesterday in federal court, where a magistrate--over Department of Justice objections--set his bond at $50,000 (to be secured by his mother’s home). Prosecutors contend that Mehmood--who is facing 29 felony counts--is a flight risk, and  have pointed to his “significant foreign ties” and ownership of a residence in Pakistan as reasons to keep him incarcerated before trial.

    Woman Named Fellony Arrested On Felony Battery Charge Following Bloody Indiana Bar Attack

    A defendant named Fellony was arrested yesterday for felony battery after she allegedly struck a woman in the head with a glass at an Indiana bar.

    Fellony Silas, 30, was collared early Sunday following the fracas at Kilroy’s Sports Bar in Bloomington. The bloodied 24-year-old victim suffered several lacerations and was treated for her injuries at a local hospital.

    The attack was reportedly triggered when the victim accidentally bumped into Silas while she was dancing.

    Silas, pictured in the above mug shot, was booked into the Monroe County jail, where she is being held in lieu of $10,000 bond on a Class C felony battery count. There is an additional probation hold on Silas related to a prior conviction. Silas has previously been arrested in Monroe County on a variety of charges, including forgery, theft, disorderly conduct, and fraud.

    Texan, 21, Caught Urinating On The Alamo, Is Arrested At Stream Of The Crime

    In a move out of Ozzy Osbourne’s playbook, a 21-year-old Texas man was nabbed Saturday night for urinating on the Alamo.

    According to a San Antonio Police Department report, Daniel Athens was spotted standing in a “chained off area not open to the public,” where an Alamo Ranger noticed him “making the motions of putting his penis back in his pants.” The investigator noted that there was “a puddle on the original mortar of the Shrine.”

    Athens, police reported, appeared drunk, smelled of intoxicants, and was unsteady on his feet. Pictured at right, Athens was arrested for public intoxication and public urination.

    As detailed by cops, urine contains salt and the Alamo’s “limestone absorbs the salt and then pushes the salt out. When the salt gets pushed out so does the face of the limestone and through this process the urine contributes to the eroding of the limestone.”

    Investigators photographed the stream of the crime, since Athens, an El Paso resident, could face an additional criminal mischief rap for damaging the so-called Shrine of Texas Liberty.

    Osbourne was arrested in 1982 after he was spotted urinating on a monument erected in honor of those killed during the Battle of the Alamo in 1836. The monument stood across the street from the Alamo, which was originally built as a Catholic mission (and is now a U.S. landmark).

    Federal Agents Arrest Twitter Pimp For Sex Trafficking Of Child

    Federal agents have arrested an alleged pimp--and, until recently, ardent Twitter user--for the alleged sex trafficking of a child, an offense that carries a minimum 15-year prison term.

    One week after he was featured in these pages, Marquist Bradford, 26, was arrested Wednesday in Springfield, Illinois. Bradford, pictured at right, will now be transported to Sacramento, California, where he has recently lived and where he was indicted last month for pimping out a 15-year-old girl.

    As TSG previously reported, Bradford is a wannabe rapper who uses the handle “King Kutta Mackin.” He maintained a Twitter account--@king_kutta--which detailed a lavish lifestyle and described him as a “fresh fly nigga love doin me and love liven!!$$ money is my movation and bein broke is my Fear!”

    Hours after TSG disclosed that Bradford had been named in a sealed criminal complaint (and was being sought by federal task force agents), his Twitter page was deleted.

    In one of his final tweets, the Twitter Pimp appeared to tell his followers about a new addition to his illicit stable. “Just put a new bitch down $$ let's see if she can keep dis money comin round $,” Bradford wrote.

    Baltimore Cops Release Photos Of Suspects Wanted In Brutal Videotaped Beating Of Tourist

    Baltimore cops are seeking the public’s help in identifying three suspects who participated in the videotaped attack last month of a tourist outside a downtown courthouse.

    Investigators today released the above photos (click to enlarge) showing two men and a woman who were part of the gang that assaulted and robbed the 31-year-old victim on March 18. The images were apparently taken from surveillance cameras in the vicinity of the crime scene.

    Each of the three suspects in the still photos can be spotted in the below video of the attack.

    The man in the green sweater punched the victim in the head. The woman--who, for some reason, was wearing bikini bottoms--repeatedly struck the prone man with an unknown object. The suspect wearing shorts grabbed the victim’s head and “teabagged” him.

    Fearful For His Safety, FBI's Prized Hacker-Turned-Informant Again Ditches Court Appearance

    The FBI’s prized hacker-turned-informant who snitched on his “Anonymous” cronies remained in hiding today, again failing to appear for a court appearance due to what his lawyer said were “security issues and physical threats.”

    Hector “Sabu” Monsegur, 28, was scheduled today to appear in Manhattan Criminal Court for arraignment on a criminal impersonation charge.

    However, when his case was called around 12:15 PM, Monsegur, pictured above, was not present in the fourth-floor courtroom of Judge Diana Boyar. Instead, lawyer Peggy Cross-Goldenberg asked the jurist to waive her client’s appearance due to “security issues and physical threats,” adding that Monsegur was concerned about his safety were he to appear at the courthouse.

    After a prosecutor consented to proceed without Monsegur present, Boyar announced that his case was being adjourned for six months in contemplation of dismissal. In effect, if he stays out of trouble during that period, the misdemeanor count will be dropped.

    Monsegur has reportedly been under federal protection since early-March, when his cooperation with the FBI became public. His work with the bureau resulted in the indictment of five of his former cronies from “Anonymous,” the online hacking collective.

    It was during the course of Monsegur’s active cooperation that he was arrested by NYPD officers outside his apartment building in a housing project on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. According to the criminal impersonation complaint, when a cop asked him for ID, Monsegur reportedly said, “Relax. I’m a federal agent. I am an agent of the federal government.”

    Monsegur had first been scheduled to show up in court on March 12, but that appearance was adjourned until today after Cross-Goldenberg and a prosecutor held an off-the-record chat with a judge (who later announced that the case was being adjourned due to “extraordinary circumstances”).

    Alabama Defendant's Saggy Pants Get Him Jailed On Contempt Of Court Charge

    Meet Lamarcus Ramsey.

    The 19-year-old Alabama man was sentenced yesterday to three days in jail after he appeared in court with jeans that were hanging so low that an irate judge cited him for contempt.

    Ramsey was in the Autauga County courthouse in connection with a receiving stolen property case when Judge John Bush zeroed in on the saggy state of the teenager’s pants. As reported in the Montgomery Advertiser, Bush told Ramsey he was in contempt “because you showed your butt in court.”

    The jurist added, “You can spend three days in jail. When you get out you can buy pants that fit, or at least get a belt to hold up your pants so your underwear doesn’t show.”

    Pictured in the above mug shot, Ramsey is currently being held in the Autauga County jail. He is scheduled for a June 11 trial in the felony stolen property case, which involves his alleged theft of an air conditioner from a church, according to a police spokesman.

    Businessman Seeks George Zimmerman Trademarks For Beer Mugs, Bumper Stickers, Aloha Shirts

    4/12 UPDATE: Entrepreneur now says he is abandoning "Zimmerman" TM bid

    In addition to several trademark filings including Trayvon Martin’s name, government officials have received one application seeking to capitalize on the name of the gunman who shot to death the Florida teenager.

    On March 30, a San Francisco businessman submitted an online application to trademark the phrase “I Believe You Zimmerman.” According to United States Patent and Trademark Office records, Lawrence Sekara paid $1100 to apply for the mark for use in four separate classes.

    The 49-year-old Sekara, pictured above, wants to place “I Believe You Zimmerman” on a wide variety of merchandise, including beer mugs, bumper stickers, leggings, footwear, “Button-front aloha shirts,” and other assorted apparel.

    In an interview, Sekara, owner of Corporate Fulfillment Services, declined to discuss what products he planned to market, saying that he wanted to “keep that under wraps” until a related web site--ibelieveyouzimmerman.com--launches in a couple of weeks. He registered the domain on the same day he made his online USPTO filing.

    Sekara, who said that he has invested $5000 in his fledgling business, acknowledged that while he has had no contact with George Zimmerman, he planned to share some of the “I Believe You Zimmerman” proceeds with the neighborhood watch captain, pictured at left, who killed Martin on February 26 in Sanford, Florida.

    Noting that members of the public have “jumped to too many conclusions” about the shooting, Sekara said that he was not concerned about being criticized for seeking to profit from the case.
