  • Meet Shatorrian Ranette Kamakao Howard.

    The 20-year-old is due in a Florida courthouse next week to answer charges stemming from her arrest last month following a traffic stop in Okaloosa County.

    Howard, pictured in the mug shot at right, was pulled over by a sheriff’s deputy when radar caught her speeding. Howard, who claimed she was late picking up her brother for a job interview, was unable to produce a driver’s license.

    When Deputy Matthew Christmas told Howard that she could not continue driving the 2009 Pontiac (and that someone would have to retrieve the vehicle), she began screaming at the cop, according to a probable cause statement.

    As recounted by Christmas, Howard “started yelling at me that I was a ‘stupid gay ass cracker.’” As Christmas and another deputy sought to handcuff her, Howard flailed her arms and remarked that “she wanted to spit in our face.”

    Howard was charged with obstruction, driving without a license, and marijuana possession (after partially burnt blunts were found inside her car).

  • Police followed a “trail of chips” to arrest a Pennsylvania man who allegedly broke into a Subway restaurant early yesterday and only made off with nine bags of the savory potato crisps.

    Investigators charge that Benjamin Sickles, 21, broke out three glass windows at a Subway in Washington, a city 20 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. He then broke a glass door and entered the store around 2:23 AM.

    Sickles, pictured in the mug shot at right, approached the cash register, but apparently was unable to secure some loot. So he “threw cups at cash register, grabbed two hand full of chips (9 bags)” and exited the Subway with the stolen snacks.

    When Washington City Police Department cops arrived, “a trail of chips lead to suspect who was on steps of Washington High School,” according to a criminal complaint. The Subway eatery is only a couple of blocks away from the school, from which Sickles graduated in 2009.

    Charged with burglary, criminal trespass, theft, and criminal mischief, Sickles’s cell location is in the Washington County jail, where he is being held in lieu of $30,000 bond.

  • Meet Bill Cody Omer.

    The Texan, 23, was arrested last night on a felony animal cruelty count after his pit bull died inside his broiling car.

    Galveston cops--responding to a 911 call about a dog locked in a vehicle--found Omer crying next to his auto. Officers believe the animal had been inside the car for at least 90 minutes.

    As seen above, the shirtless Omer’s despondency somehow lifted when he posed for a thumbs-up mug shot when booked into the county jail. He was later released after posting $15,000 bond.

  • Meet Jonathan Corcoran.

    The 22-year-old Iowan was at the Sports Column watering hole early Saturday when a pair of Iowa City cops arrived to conduct a “bar check.”

    That is when Corcoran (seen at right) took the opportunity to approach the officers and announce, “I love to fuck a man in uniform.”

    The cops, noting that Corcoran had “bloodshot watery eyes and slurred speech,” moved away, but Corcoran followed. He again repeated his preference for uniformed consorts.

    Officers then “made contact” with Corcoran, who “demonstrated poor coordination, repetitive speech and smelled strongly of an odor of an alcoholic beverage.” While estimating that he consumed a few beers over the previous three hours, Corcoran registered a .212 blood alcohol content when taking a post-arrest Breathalyzer test.

    After being read his Miranda rights, Corcoran said, “Sure I’m intoxicated.” In Corcoran’s defense, of course, he had been drinking in a bar.

    Charged with public intoxication, Corcoran was booked into the Johnson County jail. He was later released after entering a guilty plea.
