Officer pleads guilty in collision that killed 7 sailors.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 09 May 2018 16:31:00 +0000

A junior officer on the destroyer USS Fitzgerald has pleaded guilty to a dereliction of duty charge in connection with a collision that killed seven sailors last year, the Navy announced Tuesday.

Lt. j.g. Sarah Coppock will forfeit a half-month’s pay for three months and receive a punitive letter as punishment, according to a Navy statement.

“Our Sailors personify honor, courage, and commitment,” the statement read, in part. “The Navy will not accept complacency, negligence, or other behaviors contrary to its core values.”

According to the Navy Times, Coppock was serving as officer at the deck at the time the Fitzgerald struck a commercial ship off the coast of Japan early on the morning of June 17. She was accused of failing to follow the commanding officer’s standing orders and international navigation rules.

In August, the Navy announced that the Fitzgerald’s commanding officer, Cmdr. Bryce Benson, would be removed from duty, along with the ship’s second-in-command and the top senior enlisted sailor.

A Navy report released in November found that the Fitzgerald was at fault for the collision.

“In the 30 minutes leading up to the collision, neither Fitzgerald nor [the commercial ship] Crystal took such action to reduce the risk of collision until approximately one minute prior to the collision,” the report said.

The report added that Fitzgerald’s officer of the deck, now identified as Coppock, “intended to take no action” in the minutes leading up to the collision until realizing it was “too late.”

“The Officer of the Deck, the person responsible for safe navigation of the ship, exhibited poor seamanship by failing to maneuver as required, failing to sound the danger signal and failing to attempt to contact CRYSTAL on Bridge to Bridge radio. In addition, the Officer of the Deck did not call the Commanding Officer as appropriate and prescribed by Navy procedures to allow him to exercise more senior oversight and judgment of the situation,” the report said.

A Navy spokesman declined to tell the Navy Times whether Coppock would be discharged from service, telling the publication: “As of right now, she remains on active duty.”

Florida widow arrested for the murder of husband after 18yrs.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 09 May 2018 15:02:00 +0000

The widow of a man who was reported missing in 2000 after supposedly going on a hunting trip alone was arrested Tuesday after she was indicted on a first-degree murder charge.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers arrested Denise Williams, 48, at her Florida State office, the Tallahassee Democrat reported. Williams also faces a count of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and a count of being an accessory after the fact, state attorney Jack Campbell said.

Williams was booked into Leon County Jail and was being held without bail.

Mike Williams disappeared in December 2000 after he supposedly went duck hunting alone on a lake near Tallahassee. Williams’ body wasn’t initially found after an extensive search in and around Lake Seminole and a theory spread that he was eaten by an alligator.

The theory was debunked when Williams’ body was discovered in December 2017, buried under muck near a boat landing in Tallahassee, according to the Tallahassee Democrat.

“Oh, my gosh,” Clay Ketcham, Mike Williams’ boss and friend, told the newspaper. “I never thought this day would get here. It’s horrible. But it’s a feeling of coming to resolution.”

The case had been considered suspicious for years. Brian Winchester, another friend of Mike Williams, helped him write a $1 million insurance policy before he disappeared. Five years later, Winchester married Denise Williams.

Winchester was charged with kidnapping Denise Williams at gunpoint. He pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. Authorities discovered Mike Williams’ body a day after Winchester was sentenced.

It’s unclear whether anyone else will be charged in the murder. Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent Mark Perez praised the efforts of investigators.

"We’ve had this case for 15 years, and the relentless effort in working with prosecutors and then ultimately the grand jury in bringing those responsible for Mike Williams’ [death] to justice is a great reward," Perez said. "Hopefully, this will bring peace and resolution to the Williams family.”

Denise Williams was expected to be arraigned Wednesday.

This is truly the month of assurance and Davido and Chioma are serving everyone relationship goals. Chioma has got to be one of the happiest persons in Nigeria at the moment.

The year started well for David ‘Davido’ Adeleke as he signs a massive endorsement deal with a telephone brand just as he drops another banging song titled, ‘Assurance’.

Davido might be on his way to recoup the N45 million he reportedly expended on a birthday gift to Chioma.

Just after Chioma bagged a hundred million naira endorsement deal, Davido also just became the new thing in the market for Infinix – makers of mobile phones and other electronic devices.

We are yet to confirm the exact endorsement price but there are reports it’s a big deal.

Why I jumped out of the vehicle -- Dino Melaye

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 08 May 2018 19:20:00 +0000

“According to Melaye, while they were in the vehicle going to Lokoja at the Area1 intersection round about the police tear gassed him two times when he protested as to why they were now taking him to Lokoja instead of Abuja FCT they tear gassed him twice and as soon as the car came to a stand still at the roundabout he forced open the bus door and jumped down because he was now gasping for breadth so that he would not suffocate and the video went viral that they want to kill him by taking to Lokoja.

“Because of that his sympathizers and boys who gathered including his lawyers took him to Zankli Hospital and it was from the hospital that the police again came and bundled him to the National Hospital Abuja where they chained him to the bed like a common criminal. So the question is if someone were to escape from justice would he be in the hospital. So we have to counter this false allegation.

The National Hospital that the chief judge said he should be taken to make two recommendations that this man is an asthmatic patient and has serious spinal cord injury. And that he needs to come back on the 9th for further examination, his national passport has already been deposited.”

Pastor Gabriel Adegboye, the senior pastor of Worksword of God Church has said that God told him President Muhammadu Buhari will rule Nigeria for only four years. “God sent me to become the next president of Nigeria.

We have all it takes to take the presidential seat come 2019. God has revealed to me that the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari is only four years. And the next person that will take over the mantle of leadership is Pastor Gabriel Adegboye.

If the Federal Government needs solution to the challenges in the country today, if I am invited, I promise that within three months, there will be peace in the North-East,” Adegboye said.

Nigeria’s drugs and narcotics control agency, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) Monday sealed off three major pharmaceutical companies – Emzor Pharmaceuticals Ind.

Officer being investigated over the shooting of a suspect Months later

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 07 May 2018 15:54:00 +0000

KETTERING, Ohio — Police are investigating an Ohio suburban community's second fatal shooting of a suspect by an officer in a year.

Kettering Police Lt. Michael Gabrielson says police were responding to a suspicious-person report at an apartment complex in the Dayton suburb at 11:10 p.m. Saturday. The officer entered the building and a short while later reported shots fired.

The Montgomery County Coroner's Office on Sunday the 6th of May identified the man who died as 24-year-old Mitchell Simmons. The officer was not injured.

In December, a grand jury declined to indict Officer Jonathon McCoy in the fatal shooting of an armed man during a traffic stop. McCoy shot 33-year-old Jason Hoops on August 27 after authorities say Hoops refused repeated orders to put his hands on the vehicle's dash.

Armoured truck blesses commuters with $600,000.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 07 May 2018 15:44:00 +0000

SOMETIMES it really pays to get to work on-time. That was the case Wednesday morning, when a Brinks truck showered commuters in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA with approximately $600,000 in cash.

The incident occurred when a rear door opened as the truck was traveling on Interstate 70.

Bags and bundles of money, along with loose bills, came showering out of the truck before it could come to a stop.

The driver apparently only learned what was going on when another driver waved at him and pointed to the back of the armoured truck.

Police rushed to the scene and tried to collect as much money as possible.

Several other drivers got down from their vehicles and helped themselves to as much of the cash as they could.

Residents of the adjacent neighbourhood also reportedly scaled a highway fence to grab money.

While it sounds like a chance of a lifetime to earn a quick buck or entire bag of cash on the way to work, these ‘lucky’ commuters could be in for a rude awakening.

That money comes with a price, since taking it is technically theft.

A state trooper said video from the scene will be used to spot the license plates of anyone who picked up money.

Michigan Police Department refer to themselves as "POPO".

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 07 May 2018 13:28:00 +0000

Last week, the police department posted a cutesy little photo on their Facebook page, stating they replaced the name “police” with “popo” on their cars, as an effort to connect better with the youngsters. Because they all know we’re still living in 1990 and use the term.

“We are still struggling to really reach the younger folk out there. So in an effort to bridge that gap, we’ve decided to update out patrol car graphics in an attempt to be more relatable to the local youths,” the Facebook post stated.

When was the last time you heard someone refer to the cops as the “popo”? When was the last time you heard someone say they’re using Microsoft Paint? Those are the only two relevant questions to ask Michigan’s Bath Township Police Department, who thought it was a good idea to joke about fixing community relations with the youth, with the help of the relic of a computer program and an archaic word.

Let’s look at some of the replies to their post:

No Way!! Changing the name on the car lowers your intelligence. These people can’t speak proper English and instead of blaming parents and schools, you
change the “police” graphic. Why don’t you just put it in Russian, “ПОЛИЦЯ”..than they still can’t read it...Sorry, try pulling me over with that...its not legal and you know it!!

So, you are proudly owning the term Pissed Off Police Officer (POPO)?
Damn, that’s not a good look for the community you SERVE.

Utterly ridiculous. Funny joke if CGI/photoshopped. Dont stoop to their level. Next you will have Officers, Deputies, Troopers studying EBONICs. Hell to the No, how bout that!!

For the first time, successful candidates, after the physical screening, will undergo a written aptitude test to be conducted by Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) to ensure transparency and get the best out of the candidates.

Furthermore, medical examinations including Visual Assessment blood pressure, sugar, body mass index, hepatitis b and c, HIV screening, tuberculosis, antigen in serum and pregnancy test (for women only) will be conducted on the recruits.

The IG also directed the DIG to embark on monitoring and assessment of the exercise throughout the 36 states and the FCT to ensure that the exercise is carried out in line with best practices.

Happening now in Synagogue, a certain lady takes loan twice for me, big boy internet fraudster confesses.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 06 May 2018 08:59:00 +0000

A certain Samuel Obi confesses to being a fraudster after been healed of a severe neck injury two weeks ago by the Prophet T.B Joshua.

A week after he was healed the man of God called him out from the congregation "You've lived a bad life in the past, you've lived a conman, your close friend is currently serving jail term".

Samuel confirmed the words of the pastor to be true and decided today to let the church know how he lived his 'bad life in the past'. He also said he was into drugs in South Africa but later moved to Malaysia to learn something new as doing drugs wasn't paying enough.

He claims to have acquired luxury cars and big houses from fraudulent activities.
