He should have claimed he was just testing their security.
Charges filed over 9/11 anniversary scare at Kansas City International Airport
Federal prosecutors have filed charges against Anthony Falco Jr. over an incident at KCI on Sunday, which shut down part of Terminal B on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. From Mark Morris and Glenn Rice: Anthony Falco Jr. allegedly told security screeners, who already were suspicious ...
I hope they at least made him fish out the IDs and clean them off.
Pennsylvania man accused of befouling ex-wife's photo IDs
A Pennsylvania man is accused of breaking into his ex's house and defecating on her photo IDs, police say. How did the ex allegedly catch him? She walked in on him while he was on the toilet, the authorities report.
He wasn't driving it on the golf course, he was driving it down the road. That's why they could get him for DUI.
Police: Suspect wasn't dressed as a clown -- he'd just been golfing
A Massachusetts man is accused of driving a golf cart while drunk -- a relatively common "weird crime" story. The best part: Police were originally told the suspect was dressed like a clown. Nope, he'd just been golfing, they say.
Of course, nobody's willing to point out the obvious solution... Just don't be a criminal in the first place.
Should ex-cons be protected from housing, job discrimination?
San Francisco is considering an ordinance that would prohibit discrimination against ex-cons when it comes to hiring and housing. Proponents say it's necessary so that former inmates can reenter regular society and avoid falling back into a life of crime. Private businesses, meanwhile, say they...
The person who should be prosecuted in this baby's death is the adult who decided to leave all these children home alone.
KC baby's bathtub drowning ruled accident, not homicide
Jermane Johnson Jr. -- a 19-month-old who was allegedly drowned in a bathtub by a 5-year-old girl -- died as a result of an accident, not a homicide, the Jackson County Medical Examiner's office has ruled. Christine Vendel has the full report here. Authorities never intended to prosecute the gir...
And now the whole world knows she has an STD. The teasing has just begun
Driver was upset about teasing over STD, police say
An Ohio woman -- upset about being teased over an STD -- allegedly tried to run over a man but ended up hitting her friend instead, police allege.
It's interesting that the 3 cops ended up shooting each other in the process. Sounds like they just went nuts. Would have been fitting if they'd taken each other out rather than killing the innocent old lady.
Atlanta to pay $4.9 million to family of woman killed in drug raid
Kathryn Johnston was 92 years old when police tried to raid her Atlanta home in 2006 on a no-knock warrant. Johnston apparently thought it was a break-in and fired a shot from an old pistol. Officers volleyed back 39 shots, killing the elderly woman. There was an ensuing coverup, and three poli...
We need to make it mandatory that whenever one law is passed, five old ones are repealed.
Is Kansas' seat-belt fine too low?
Kansas' transportation secretary is making noises about raising the seat-belt fine. Kansas has had a primary seat-belt law only since May, which qualifies it for an extra $11.2 million in federal money. But the fine is a joke -- only $5 until next July, at which time the cost doubles. I'm not sa...
Looking at his criminal record, it can be assumed that even if he gets out early, he'll be going right back in. Might as well save time, trouble, and money, and just keep him in.
Rapist's lawyer says 51-year sentence is cruel and unusual
In Salina, a defense attorney says the likely sentence for a man who raped a woman in her 90s is cruel and unusual. Paul Henry Parker Jr. is probably going to get more than 51 years in prison, and that's not counting aggravating factors such as the woman's age or vulnerability. (The attack happe...
I protest them using the term "non-criminal" since illegals are, by definition, criminals.
Fingerprint program leads to almost 47K deportations
Almost 47,000 people were deported thanks to Secure Communities, a program where local jails check the fingerprints of prisoners to see if they're in the country illegally. The AP has a full report on the matter here. A coalition of immigration advocates sued to get the data. They're using the ...
When I was younger, I worked in 2 different retail stores that wouldn't even let customers use the bathroom. I hated that policy, because I know kids (and pregnant women) can't always hold it. I silently applauded one mother who argued with the manager about her little boy needing to go, and then finally told the kid to just pee on the floor.
The bathroom is for customers only!
A convenience-store clerk in Minnesota allegedly threatened to shoot and beat some people who wanted to use the bathroom, but hadn't purchased anything.
No mugshot, but how about video?

Robber wore fake breasts, clown pants
And a blond wig, and he was covered in red goo from an exploding dye bank.
Thank goodness she didn't have a colostomy bag instead!
Woman throws bag of urine at officers, police say
A California woman -- accused of trying to run over her ex's brother -- allegedly threw her urostomy bag at the police who tried to arrest her.
Um, James, I believe he asked her NOT to testify. I think you missed a word. :)
Suspect writes letter to estranged wife's cat, police say
A Utah man -- in jail and under orders to have no contact with his estranged wife -- is in trouble because he allegedly mailed a letter to her cat. The letter is sent to the cat, Molly, but is pretty clearly intended for the wife and asks her not to testify against him in an upcoming trial, poli...
Unfortunately, some of those protection order violations will become violent crimes, especially since they're advertising that they won't do anything about it.
Oakland cops stop responding to many nonviolent crimes
Because of layoffs, Oakland police won't be dispatched on most calls unless a violent crime has taken place. Instead, residents are asked to fill out a form on the department's website or visit a patrol station to file a report. Home burglaries, runaways and protection-order violations are all o...
Gotta love her facebook info:

Wonder if the wonderful Tanner was the person she was beating up? I'm betting so. I feel sorry for her kid.
Quote of the day
Northwest Florida Daily News reports on a suspect's alleged attempt to sweet-talk the police ... “My (expletive) family is one of the richest around and we will have y’all’s (expletive) jobs,” Bradley told the officer.
It always amazes me that people hear gunshots outside and go to the door or window to look. How stupid can you be?
Girl, 14, grazed during driveby
From Christine Vendel: A 14-year-girl suffered a graze wound to the neck during a drive-by shooting early today in the Northeast area. The shooting occurred shortly before 2 a.m. in the 300 block of Bellaire Avenue. Police said the girl was watching television when she heard a noise that soun...
I feel like it needs to be pointed out, again, that police officers do not make laws. City councils, and county and state legislatures make the laws. Police officers only enforce them. If you don't like the laws they're enforcing, you need to contact your local lawmakers and lobby to have them changed. Insulting the police does not help.
127 seat-belt tickets during Shawnee enforcement campaign
Shawnee police have released the results from their recent Click It Or Ticket campaign, which tries to find motorists who aren't wearing their seat belts. (Though other laws are enforced, too.) This year's campaign ran from May 24 through June 6. During the campaign, officers wrote 127 safety ...
It said in the article she was 6 or 7 months pregnant. That's far enough along that there's a chance an (uninjured) baby can survive if born.
Woman who fled police could face charge of feticide
In Georgia, a 21-year-old woman is going to face a charge of feticide after she fled from police and got into a wreck, causing the death of her unborn child, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Hat Tip: Many thanks, Keith G in PV!
Now that I got that off my chest, back to the article and my first thought when I read it: the President wants to replace the corrupt local police with corrupt police that HE controls. Imagine that.
Mexican president targets corrupt cops
Mexico's president wants to get rid of the country's local police departments because they're so corrupt and replace them with state-controlled police. He's floated the idea before, but some of its opponents are out of office now.
OMG, I'm so tired of that lame excuse that Americans don't want the work. I know a lot of white people who will do just about any honest job to support their family. Yes, we may have to pay them minimum wage, but we'll also collect taxes to educate their kids and they'll be responsible for paying for their own health care instead of ruining schools and hospitals by getting free care (that WE end up paying for in the long run).

Actually it mentions twice that they were step-brothers. Or were you making fun of the redundancy?
Kansas teen, 14, accused of murder
A Saline County boy, age 14, is facing a charge of first-degree murder in the shooting of a 9-year-old boy, the Salina Journal reports.
He apparently uses steroids, too. His neck is wider than his head!
The salad dressing isn't the problem
From the Press-Citizen: Iowa City police say a Pennsylvania man emanating the distinct odor of zesty Italian salad dressing relieved himself in a restaurant kitchen early Friday morning.
The sad truth is, the 10 who were revoked will be fined or arrested, but nothing will happen to the 56 who were driving without a license, because most if not all of them are illegal.
66 license arrests during checkpoint
KCPD operated a driver's license checkpoint on Thursday night in the 2200 block of Northwest Barry Road, Chief Corwin's blog reports. They caught 66 people on license violations -- 10 for driving while revoked, 56 for having no license at all. There were a handful of other arrests, including 15 ...
I sincerely hope they're safe.
Missing Ill. kids could be headed to Mo.
KMBC reports that Kendall Carr, 8, and his 2-year-old sister, Kenni, went missing Monday morning in Harvey, Ill., and could be headed to Missouri with a family member, 39-year-old Kent Carr. An Amber Alert has been issued in Illinois. More details here.
