KIDS, "DON'T DO CRACK," or hang out with people who do.

From Ashville NC comes the latest installment of "Dumb criminals"


ASHEVILLE — A judge has thrown out a charge of resisting arrest against a man injured by an explosive police weapon.
The Asheville Police Department and Troy Steven Wyatt’s attorneys give very different details of how a stun grenade detonated near Wyatt, causing what attorney Java Warren said are permanent injuries to his (man parts).
Warren said the dismissal of the charge May 3 in Buncombe County District Court bears out his client’s version of events: that police lobbed the device into his lap as he sat with hands in the air.
Police, however, have said Wyatt and others confronted the tactical team during its Jan. 25 raid on what they called a crack house in Shiloh. Chief Bill Hogan said Wyatt rolled onto the stun grenade — designed to distract people with noise and light — during a scuffle with police.
Discrepancies between an officer’s testimony and the arrest warrant led to the dismissal, police Capt. Tim Splain and defense attorney Howard McGlohon agreed.
The warrant said Wyatt resisted Officer Chad Bridges by disobeying a command “to be still.”
Actually, Splain said, police ordered him to drop to the floor.
“He didn’t, and that’s what should have been articulated in the warrant,” he said.
It’s more than a semantic argument, McGlohon said.
“What is put in the warrant is what we came there to defend,” he said. “And that’s not what the proof was. That wasn’t the evidence that was offered by the state. And that’s very important, because a person has the right to be placed on notice about what he did.”
The dismissal of the charge ends for now the defense’s request to examine a chair cushion. Lawyers said it has damage that could help prove Wyatt took the injury sitting down.
Warren said he and his client are consulting on whether to file a lawsuit.


Ouch ouch ouch ouch.

Warning signs of a sick, demented society.

This is really disgusting, and this dude needs serious help...


A 23-year-old with a foot fetish has admitted he tried to kiss, fondle and lick the legs and toes of more than 70 women on the New York subway over the last three years, prosecutors said on Wednesday.
In a handwritten confession to police released by the Manhattan district attorney's office, Joseph Weir said his aim was "to make them laugh and smile and open to talk to me."
Weir, who was arrested late last week after attacking a woman on a subway in lower Manhattan, is charged with forcible touching, sex abuse and unlawful imprisonment -- the latter charge referring to his habit of grabbing his victims' legs and not letting go.
He faces up to a year in jail if convicted and has been released on $6,000 bail until a court hearing on June 26.
In a rambling confession peppered with grammatical errors, Weir, who lives in Brooklyn, detailed how he accosted the women while riding the subways between Manhattan and the borough of Queens.

Here is a creepy part;

"I get on my knees, bow, grab their feet, kiss them. I grab their hand and tell them 'You're so beautiful. I'm not worthy,'" he wrote. "I do not give me real name. If they ask I will tell them my name is Anthony, Jason or Careem."
Weir said his motivation was to get to know the women, but he recalled that often they would move away when he tried to "taste and touch them."

Really? Are you kidding? Are you trying to tell me that women don't like strange random guys trying to lick their toes? Seriously?

"Some women had kick(ed) me and screamed," he wrote. "I've done this to about 70 women, mostly black."

Awwww, you got kicked...what a shock.

Prosecutors said dozens of women had started to come forward to identify Weir, who told detectives in his confession that he lived with his parents and two sisters.
"I am currently unemployed," he wrote, adding that he had been fired from his previous job with a sightseeing company.
In his confession, Weir apologized to his victims, saying: "I don't mean to hurt no body and I am sorry."


I find Mr. Weir's last job hilarious.
Seems like his clients weren't the only ones sightseeing...
