Bank robbery suspect caught trying to change his appearance
Suspect who tried to change appearance nabbed with shaving cream on his ear
Christelle Hobby - Apr. 3, 2009 03:02 PM
The Arizona Republic
A Mesa bank robbery suspect who tried to change his appearance was arrested after police noticed he'd missed a number of spots while shaving and still had shaving cream on his ear when officers confronted him, police said Friday.
When police searched the home of Apris Sifo, 30, they not only found a bank bag stuffed with money taken in the robbery of a Wells Fargo bank branch, but also 26 pounds of marijuana.
Police said a man matching Sifo's description entered a Bashas' supermarket at Power and McDowell roads Thursday afternoon, approached the Wells Fargo counter and presented the bank teller with a note stating that he had a gun and wanted money.
The teller gave the man money from her cash drawer, which he stuffed into a blue bank bag.
According to police, the thief fled on foot, but was seen by a witness entering a nearby home.
When Mesa police confronted Sifo, he had changed his clothes and appeared to have hastily tried to shave.
When police searched the home, they found a blue bag containing the money as well as three notes with “I want your money” written on them.
An estimated 26 pounds of marijuana was also found inside the suspect's bedroom, police said.
According to police reports, Sifo confessed that he intended to use the money and sell the marijuana in order to support his methamphetamine addiction.
When asked why he gave the note to the teller, Sifo told police, “I've seen it on TV.”
No weapon was found. Sifo is being charged with armed robbery and possession of marijuana for sale, police said.

According to police, state troopers were conducting a home visit at the Brookeville residence of 34-year-old Lloyd Conn and 21-year-old Tiffany Hollins when they discovered an active meth lab, a gun, and truck loads of stolen property. Both are registered with the Franklin County Probation Department. During the search of their home on Smoky Hollow Road, police confiscated the meth-making materials and the gun, along with a stolen riding lawn mower and box trailer, and five pickup truck loads of items believed to be stolen. Investigators remained at the home for hours overnight sorting through the property. Conn and Hollins were arrested on felony charges of manufacturing methamphetamine. The pair is also facing child endangerment charges after authorities found two children under the age of 3 in the home. The children are now in the custody of Child Protective Services. The case remains under investigation and police say additional charges may be added. |

Domino's Pizza Gives 11,000 free pizza away by mistake

Domino's Forced to "Bailout" Franchise Owners After Gaffe
Domino's Pizza is out thousands ... of free pizzas, that is, after someone discovered an online promotion the company scrapped, but failed to deactivate.
Someone entered "bailout" in the Domino's promo code window on their website and discovered he would be eligible for a free medium pizza.
You can imagine the "feeding frenzy" once word hit the Web and Twitter on Monday night, and 11,000 free pizzas were delivered before the code was deactivated Tuesday morning.
Besides failing to deactivate the promo, it looks like they never fully implemented it, as there shold have been some limits to prevent the overuse of the code.
Domino's has strepped up and agreed to bail out its franchisees, picking up the tab as it obviously should have, since it was the company's mistake.

Mom drugs daughter,13, wants boyfriend to get her pregnant

Police: Mom drugs daughter so man can impregnate her
The Tribune-Review
A mother in Fayette County has been charged with giving her 13-year-old daughter drugs and alcohol so the woman's boyfriend could get the girl pregnant, police said Thursday. Shana Brown, 32, is no longer able to have children but wanted to have a baby with her current boyfriend, Duane Calloway, said Uniontown Police Det. Donald Gmitter. The pair decided to drug the girl so Calloway, 40, could have sex with her without her knowledge, he added. "There's some sick people on this case," Gmitter said. Brown has been charged with endangering the welfare of a child and was to turn herself into police later Thursday, Gmitter said. Brown's attorney did not immediately return a call for comment. Calloway faces several counts of attempted rape. He was arrested Wednesday and remains in Fayette County Jail. The three incidents occurred in Brown's home in Uniontown, according to the criminal complaint. The girl told police the plot was apparently hatched sometime in December after she rejected her mother's proposal that she allow Calloway to impregnate her and then marry him. In the following months, Calloway attempted to rape the girl three times, Gmitter said. The first time, in February, the girl was alone with Calloway while her mother went out to buy pizza, according to the criminal complaint. Calloway began groping her and she kicked him away, the documents stated. A few weeks later, the girl believes her mother spiked her Pepsi with rum, according to police. The girl told them she felt ill after drinking the Pepsi, passed out and later threw up. She was also partially naked when she woke up and Calloway was in the room, according to the criminal complaint. The third incident occurred in mid-March, when the girl told police she came home early from school because she was not feeling well. She said her mother forced her to drink tea, and then she immediately fell asleep. The girl said she pretended she was asleep until Calloway made a move, at which point she bolted upright and he left the room. In a search of the Brown residence, police said they found an empty rum bottle, Tylenol PM and a pill crusher. The Tribune-Review

Burglar almost knocks himself out during break-in
Burglar almost colds himself during attempted break-in
| Reported by: Keith Baker

ST. PETERSBURG, FL -- Two burglars who tried to break into a St. Pete home went away empty-handed. One of them likely had a bad headache for his efforts.
One placed himself in a football stance and ran the length of the yard into the porch door with his body. The latch held quite nicely. The impact sent the would-be thief flying backwards and onto the ground, where he's seen writhing in pain. Giving up on the body shots, one of the suspects tossed a brick through a window to get inside. That didn't work out either. The house was equipped with an alarm that began blaring away. The bandits left in their getaway car empty-handed and probably sore. The car is described as a small, red two door with a hood scoop and lower ground effects. Police say both suspects are black males 18-25 years old. One has light skin and weighs about 150 pounds. The other suspect has dreadlocks and weighs about 170 pounds. |
Man robs store with 9-year old daughter

The robber walked into an AM/PM Mini Mart just off I-90 at exit 101 around 3 a.m. Tuesday, Kittitas County Undersheriff Clayton Myers said.
He approached the counter, drew a gun and demanded money from the register, Myers said. The clerk complied and the man then left with the little girl, without further incident.
"I don't think I've ever heard of a little girl with her dad on an armed robbery," Myers said. "How anyone could endanger a child like that? You never know how someone is going to react when you pull a firearm out. How the clerk's going to react, somebody walking in? Absolutely can't even imagine it."
Why would a man bring his daughter to an armed robbery?
"Sounded like a man in desperation," store manager John Beaty said. "Said something on camera to the effect of lost his job and trying to support his little girl. Tough times."
Beaty says the night clerk thought the gun was a phony and told the robber that.
"Right here the guy is threatening to throw hot coffee on him," Beaty said, while pointing to surveillance video.
The night clerk gave the man less than $200. The robber told his daughter to leave. Probably not realizing what has happened, the girl skipped to the car outside.
The robber spent a few more minutes in the mini-mart.
"He's sort of begging him: 'Just let me and my little girl get away,' " Beaty said.
Myers says the robber was in his late 30s to early 40s, about 5 feet 10 to 5 feet 11 inches tall with a neatly trimmed beard and mustache. He weighed about 190 pounds and had glasses, a dark color P-Coat, blue jeans and white tennis shoes. The robber at some point said his name was Robert.
The girl was described as roughly 9 years old with dark color length hair and was wearing a pink coat. Myers said her first name might be "Meadow." Officials asked that the girl's face be shown in the hopes that someone will recognize her and call police.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Kittitas County Sheriff's Office at (509) 925-8534.
In the meantime, police are looking at local schools and checking unemployment records.

Saskatchewan man wins $1-million on scratch ticket
REGINA - John Black has won $1 million, but that won't stop the Saskatchewan man from working and buying lottery tickets.
Black, of Frobisher, Sask., bought several "Set For Life" tickets along with a Lotto 6-49 ticket after his shift as an oilfield manager ended last Wednesday.
He then ordered dinner at a restaurant in the small community about 250 kilometres southeast of Regina and scratched his tickets and found the $1-million prize.
"I bought a couple CDs and I'd like to get a haircut," he joked Tuesday at a news conference in Regina.
Black admits he likes to gamble. When he came to Regina this week to claim his prize, he also hit the Regina Casino.
"Actually I won a lot. I just wanted to try out games and I played a few and won. I thought I was on a pretty lucky streak for a while there but I went out and bought 19 more 'Set For Life' tickets and didn't win anything."
Black said he'll be at work Wednesday and has no plans to quit.
He and girlfriend Kendyl Curtis plan on buying a new truck or two, paying off some debt, and setting up a trust fund for his one-year-old daughter.
Man cries after attempt to rob liquor store fails

Attempted robbery goes awry in TrentonWednesday, April 01, 2009
ALEX ZDAN
TRENTON -- A man who tried to rob a liquor store Monday night sat down and cried when he encountered resistance from the senior citizen behind the counter, police said. Edwin Calix, 19, was arrested and charged with robbery by cops who arrived at Sykes Liquor Store on the 300 block of South Broad Street moments after the 8:30 p.m. attempt. Police say Calix walked into the liquor store and asked for the price of a liter of Hennessey. While 76-year-old Jeff Wadkins was checking on his request, Calix allegedly grabbed a liter bottle and bolted for the door. "This kind of thing happens all the time," Wadkins said last night. Keying a magnetic lock switch, Wadkins was able to secure the front door and trap Calix inside, police said. That's when, police said, Calix pulled out a handgun, pointed it at Wadkins and demanded he be let out of the store. But Wadkins said he was already on the phone with police at that point. "He said, 'I don't want to shoot you,'" Wadkins said of Calix. "I had the police on the phone already and I said to the police, 'did you hear what he said?'" Wadkins said he knew the would-be robber posed no threat. "It was a fake gun, he wasn't armed," he said. According to police spokesman Sgt. Pedro Medina, Calix then panicked. "The suspect ran to the back of the store attempting to find a way out, but it was not his lucky day," Medina said. Unable to locate a second doorway, police said, Calix threw what he had brandished into the basement, returned to the front of the store, sat down and began crying. "He just came up and sat on the floor and started crying," Wadkins said, adding he had never seen that before. "I had guys try to break the door down, one guy almost did it one time." Wadkins said he probably would have let Calix out if thought the gun was real, but was not going to release the lock as long as the suspect was unarmed. "I certainly wasn't going to turn him loose," Wadkins said. As they both waited for police officers to show up, Wadkins said Calix kept crying, and said only a few things that were comprehensible. "I believe he said, 'I have a child,'" Wadkins said. After the attempted robbery, the threats at what was intended to be gunpoint, and after the tears, Wadkins was asked, did he feel sorry for Calix? "I guess," he said after some thought.

Man, 114, caught with 254 sacks of marijuana
Very elderly man caught with huge marijuana haul
LAGOS (Reuters) – Nigeria's anti-narcotics agency confiscated 6.5 tones of marijuana Tuesday from the home of a man who claimed to be 114 years old.
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) said it had found 254 sacks of cannabis at the home of Sulaiman Adebayo in Ogun state, north of the commercial capital Lagos.
"The quantity of drugs suggests a large scale involvement ... There is more to the case than Pa Sulaiman," NDLEA chairman Ahmadu Giade said in a statement.
Adebayo, who said he had been a farmer all his life, told police he thought the sacks contained rice.
The agency said he claimed to have attended the inauguration of a famous hall in Abeokuta, the capital of Ogun state, in 1895 as a small boy and said he was 114 years old. There was no independent confirmation of his age.
Marijuana is grown illegally on large-scale farms in many parts of Nigeria and is smuggled across its porous borders to neighboring countries.
Lax customs control and corruption have also made Africa's top oil and gas producer a conduit for hard drugs from Asia and Latin America into Western markets.
