Crime
The honest Nazi
November 20, 2008
A Louisiana man wearing a World War II Nazi uniform and carrying a powerful German rifle was arrested after he explained to police why he was dressed the way he was: He was on the way to kill a man.
Police said he was going to shoot his sister’s neighbor who had complained about the foul odor coming from the animals at her home.
Devin Plaisance, 39, was captured five blocks from his intended victim’s home in a small suburb of Westwego, across the river from New Orleans.
Despite the Nazi garb, police said race was not a factor.
“It wasn’t a race crime or a hate crime, they’re both white,” said Police Chief Dwayne “Poncho” Munch Sr. “He said the neighbor used to kid him and call him a Nazi, so he put the uniform on to scare him before he shot him.”
That is convenient (for police)
A man accused of robbing a convenience store in Bishopville, S.C., was captured after the taxi he hopped in returned to the scene of the crime.
Johnny Lindner, 48, allegedly used a knife to rob the store of money and cigarettes, then fled in a stolen getaway truck. But Linder drove the wrong way out of town and got lost, and then his truck broke down.
Lindner quickly hailed a taxi and hopped in. The taxi driver never heard of the town Lindner was looking for and drove back into Bishopville, where the driver stopped to ask police directions — at the same store, police said, Lindner had just robbed.
Wait till PETA hears about this
A suspended police officer in Moorestown, Pa., has pleaded not guilty to having sex with cows.
According to court documents, investigators found video of 38-year-old Robert Melia Jr. having bovine sex when they were searching his home in April for an unrelated case.
Quid pro, oh no ...
In Utah, a high school employee accused of providing beer to teenage boys in exchange for photos of their private parts was “taken advantage of,” his defense attorney said.
Brian Scott Hansen, 49, was simply the butt of a joke played on him by the boys, popular athletes on the Brighton High School football team: The boys never took any pictures of themselves, but cut and pasted pictures off the Internet, his attorney argued.
Hansen believed he had genuine photos of the four boys, and even taped them to his bedroom wall with their names written on the backs.
Authorities learned of the case after they caught the boys smoking marijuana in a shed, Hansen’s attorney said. When sheriff’s deputies asked the boys, “What can you give us?” they offered up Hansen.
