UPDATE: CAUGHT more on winn parish jail escapees

UPDATE: kalb.com Winn Parish Inmates Have Been Caught

====
the repeaters over at gannett/the town talk, say that around 6:30 am cdt this morning, winn parish jail trustees thomas ray may and jamie d. malone escaped.

they are not considered dangerous and reportedly have relations in winn, rapides, lasalle and caldwell parishes.
Ray was serving time for carnal knowledge of a juvenile, and Malone was in for two counts of drug possession. ~ read more
===
... and now ...
This rest of the story: The retarded deputies at the WPSO all left out of town on a call that there was a wreck out of town. No details mind you, just a call that there is a wreck.

There was a Louisiana State Police Trooper working and he and 1 deputy could have checked on this report but Deputy Etheridge called out rescue units, emergency medical ambulance, Jaws of Life, Fire Dept. and it turned out that it was a bogus call probably made by the escapees to cover their get-a-way! We really do have the "KEY STONE COPS" up at the WPSP! LOL!

There is no leadership at the WPSO, NONE! There is no “Chief Deputy”! Patrol Supervisor James Hamon has no law enforcement experience and Sheriff Bodie Little is to busy lining his pockets with our tax dollars to worry about a lack of leadership on his team! He is to worried about when he and his family can take another vacation trip on our tax dollars!

2012 can’t get here fast enough!

UPDATE: alex hinckley's 6:58 pm cdt update on kalb.com seems to confirm some of this comment.

    blogosphere: winn parish sheriff a.d. "bodie" little in a shoot out

    WHAT

    Thursday Jul 8

    Did anyone hear about the shoot out today with Bodie and a Holme's guy?
    ====
    angie

    Friday

    well, why on earth would bodie be shooting at someone? what did this guy do? did bodie finally catch him or did he kill him with the gunshot? I saw bodie this morning, he didn't seem to have any injuries. what happened to the truck?
    ====
    i seen it all

    Let me explain what happened the other day, Bodie and his main man james hayword, they were in an unmarked unit in plane clothes, they pull into Auto Zone where the boy they had a warrant was sitting in his vehicle, they both exit the vehicle, bodie walks up and puts a gun to the boys head (now remember he is in plain clothes and did not tell him they were deputies), the boy throws his vehicle into gear and slings bodie across the road. well they get into pursuit of the vehicle (once again in an unmarked units), james hayword catches up to the vehicle and runs his unmarked truck into the rear of the vehicle, being that hayword is a fatass out of shape deputy that has no law enforcement training begans to purse the boy on foot for about 20 or 30 feet, and then fires a warning shot into the ground, the boy keeps running until chuck curry catches him a block away..and for all of you who don't know you do not have to stop for an unmarked unit, and if they don't tell you they are the police or a deputy and then show you identifcation dont tell them shit...sorry for all the misspelled words i hope yall can understand
    ====
    no paper

    Why hasn't this been in some area papers, like the Alexandria Town Talk, or Monroe paper? Probably will be overlooked in the next Winn paper too. Thankfully we have Topix so everything that goes on in that Sheriff's dept. can't be hidden form the citizens.

    IRS files tax lien against assessor's office in the amount of $64,693.28.

    Does anyone know the details on this?
    ====
    law


    Where did you find this information?
    In 2009, the new assessor found an estimated $33,000 outstanding owed the IRS. Nevils found the office to be about $77,521.33 short as a result of nonpayment of federal and state withholding for income taxes, contribution to the state retirement system and the state deferred compensation
    plan.This happened while Bodie Little was assessor.

    do you know chris 404'd


    ...in a shocking case of internet censorship. wheres rogers?

    in a breathless rant mere days ago about looming internet censorship dead pelican editor chad rogers urged his readers to "FEEL FREE TO DISTRIBUTE THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW" so why isnt he blaring this story with sirens and bells for that matter? where is the 12 inch bold headlines deriding the arrival of internet censorship? instead not a word from rogers not even a text link to the story.

    someone had a website critical to a political candidate in winn parish. a candidate took offense and somehow (due to crappy reporting on the town talks part remain unclear) took the website to court. website's isp godaddy.com located in scottsdale, arizona 404'd the doyouknowchris.com site. of course the town talk doesnt bother to clear up whether godaddy.com 404'd the website or if the owner did it themselves.

    further, notice how the town talk leaves out all the important information from the story. like on what legal grounds does someone have to order a scottsdale, arizona company into a louisiana court?

    this should be stopped and deserves the entire internet communities castigation. if anything the legal manuevers create dangerous precedent.
    so wheres rogers?


    heres a screen grab of doyouknowchris.com taken from the google cache:

    we have linked all the lawyers we could find to their info at the louisiana state bar...david roach does not appear to be a member of the la state bar.

    Web site hit for critizing Winn DA candidate
    By Jim Leggett
    jleggett@thetowntalk.com
    (318) 487-6346

    The Winn Parish District Attorney's race took a different twist when the political consultant for one candidate went to court to find out who is responsible for a Web site critical of another candidate in the race.

    David Roach of Baton Rouge, who represented candidate Herman Castete, went into 8th Judicial District Court (Winn Parish) to seek a temporary restraining order against a Scottsdale, Ariz., firm which he said operates the Web site, www.doyouknowchris.com. The site is critical of Herman Castete, another candidate in the race, Roach said.

    "Neither I nor my client, Herman Castete, or any of his supporters, had anything whatsoever to do with this dirty political trick," Roach said.
    In a special election, Castete and Neviles, along with John William Maloy and incumbent Marty Sanders, are seeking to fill the district attorney's seat left vacant when former District Attorney Terry Reeves died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in July.

    Clerk of Court Donald Kelley issued a summons, which states the Web site must defend itself in 8th Judicial District Court on May 2. The primary election is Saturday, and a runoff, if necessary, is April 29.

    Nevils did not wish to comment on the legal action.

    Meanwhile, three of the four candidates are pushing their law experience as the top credential that makes them qualified for the seat.

    Castete, who has served as chief criminal prosecutor and chief indigent defender and is now city attorney and city prosecutor for Winnfield, said he has "more legal (courtroom) experience in civil, criminal and family law matters than any of my opponents. In addition, I am the only candidate that has tried capital murder cases."

    Maloy said the district attorney "should have a broader legal knowledge than just criminal law and procedure" since civil work is half his work.

    "My legal knowledge and experience in representing state and local governmental entities has prepared me to address these issues and to provide competent legal advice to the citizens of Winn Parish."

    Nevils said he "has more prosecuting experience than all of the other candidates combined because of his previous success in the Baton Rouge District Attorney's office." He added that he "is the only candidate to have successfully prosecuted misdemeanor and felony criminal cases and continued with their appeal through state, federal and U.S. Supreme courts."

    He also represented the Police Jury in its lawsuit against the late District Attorney Terry Reeves.

    Marty Sanders couldn't be reached for comment.

    piyush apostate

    in a sunday 04 may 2008 new york times opinion piece captioned 'mccain-jindal?' (see link) rabid zionist and israeli/aipac/likud agent, william kristol issues to john mcmadman mccain his marching orders.

    piyush "bobby" jindal, current louisiana governor, former u.s. congressman and now very likely choice by john mcmadman mccain to run as his 2008 vice presidential candidate, has always been and will remain, nothing but a liar, a fraud and a con-artist and more importantly a traitor to the constitution. piyush is nothing more than a zionist media creation that fat, lazy and non-critical thinking louisiana guinea pigs bought the media lies hook, line and sinker and now the media is gearing up to attempt the same thing nationally.

    piyush the subversive
    piyush "bobby" jindal's membership in the rhodes scholars. despite rhodes scholars being marketed to the public as some sort of benign group of brainiac super-poindexters, rhodes scholars are anything but. rhodes scholars are a dangerous and subversive quasi secret society dedicated to world government and eugenics, controlled by international communism. the true aim of the rhodes scholars was reported by the chicago tribune newspaper in a series of articles in july 1951. additionally, the only avowed communist elected to a parliament in australia...was a rhodes scholar.

    liars and shills like moon griffon, jeff sadow, jeff crouere and even the gannett/town talk editors are already bemoaning piyush's apparent abandonment of his so called conservative credentials -- when anyone could have easily predicted this. one way (besides taking the time and trouble into looking at piyush's congressional voting record) would have been to look no farther than to liberal united states supreme court justice david hackett souter...also a rhodes scholar. mr. justice souter you might remember was supposedly a conservative appointed to the supreme court by president george h.w. bush. and oh yeah, bill clinton is a rhodes scholar and so is senator david vitter. what this shows is that the aforementioned liars know nothing about republican or conservative values and beliefs and that they are selling a personality and not a true republican conservative candidate.

    piyush plays the holy mother roman catholic church for a fool and catholics say nothing
    all during the gubernatorial campaign piyush would appear at many so called baptist churches to give his so called christian testimony. this is despite the fact that catholics and baptists believe practically the opposite of each other and anyone who knows anything about the catholic catechism knows that it is fundamentally opposed to biblical christianity. therefore, no catholic has any testimony to give to any baptist.

    yea, even the "holy father" benedict xvi, came out around 10 july 2007 to issue a statement that said other denominations (like baptists) are not true churches and that christ established only one true church - the roman catholic church. you can read msnbc's treatment here or read the pope's statement in its entirety from the vatican's website here.

    so if you claim to be a catholic you should be asking yourself that since the pope has proclaimed that the catholic church is the only one true church then how can piyush who clamis to be a good catholic -- park himself in so many baptist churches and say "hey guys i'am one of you too!" cant you see the deception? yet we dont see any catholic, much less any catholic priest, archbishop, bishop, cardinal or the pope himself standing to denounce piyush's heresy. if you're a catholic and you're not standing up to defend this outright insult to your faith that makes you, as pastor james david manning would say -- "lower than a maggot."

    piyush "bobby" jindal and the winnfield first baptist church
    commit apostasy easter sunday 2008

    a double minded man is unstable in all his ways
    james chapter one verse eight king james version
    its not just the catholics who are asleep at the wheel, the baptists are too. lying bastards like jerold mcbride at the winnfield first baptist church, philip robertson of the philadelphia baptist church in the philadelphia community, gil arthur at the east leesville baptist church, stephen laughlin at the first baptist church of oakdale and lloyd whitman at the first baptist church of dry prong to name just a few are nothing more than a wolf pack of deceivers and change agents masquerading as pastors.

    like the catholics, no baptists are standing up and speaking out and against it either. in fact sorry ass baptists who know better are standing by doing nothing while their lying preachers are introducing and preaching false and deceptive doctrines to their congregations.

    isnt it interesting, perhaps ominous even, what happened to winn parish after piyush stood in the pulpit of the winnfield first baptist church, easter sunday 2008 - within days the entire winn parish was raked with destructive storms.

    the gannett/alexandria daily town talk reported on 06 april 2008: "people in winn parish spent saturday clearing away trees downed in friday night storms, according to authorities. a spokesperson with the winn parish sheriff's office said a possible tornado touched down near sikes, about 20 miles northeast of winnfield. some people lost power during the storms, said the spokesperson."

    kalb-tv also reported the winn parish storms see atlanta, la. storm update and more storm damage from winn parish.

    sounds far-fetched? well, lets see -- if you're a catholic or a christian you claim to believe that god somehow transformed himself into an embryo and was then implanted into mary's womb. all the while, as an embryo, an infant, a toddler and as he grew up, he was self aware of who and what he was. then he performed miracles including forgiving sin, healing the sick, walking on water and even raising the dead and he himself was resurrected from the dead and was lifted up to heaven after walking the earth for some forty days after being resurrected. you do believe all that right? if you do then you must believe that it is possible that god could and would use storms to send a message. curiously, piyush hasnt performed his testimony scam since then either.

    the bottom line is that piyush "bobby" jindal his entire career and his entire being, even his name are based on nothing but lies, fraud and deception, its so easy to see yet no one will stand up and say it. piyush and john mcmadman mccain are a very well suited pair.

    kalb: louisiana attorney general raids winn parish sheriff a.d. bodie little office and residence

    incredible. to trigger a state investigation, this guy must be a total screw-up.

    louisiana districts attorney, police -- especially the state police, attorney general, etc. traditionally cover-up for and suppress investigation and prosecution of governmental and political corruption and wrong doing.

    this is why when you hear about a crooked louisiana politician being investigated -- much less prosecuted, its always being done by the feds.

    on the other hand the state initiating an investigation like this could be a trick.

    it could be that the state got wind of an imminent fbi raid on the winn parish sheriff and that they are actually rushing in to protect the sheriff by seizing and burying the evidence.

    ====

    anyway, this is kalb's 5 and 6 pm report.

    this morning we noticed that someone from the la. department of public safety arrived at our post louisiana pot farmers beware which in itself isnt unusual.

    what piqued our interest however, is that the dps officer, agent, personnel, whatever they are, was googling: "
    marijuana plants seized louisiana 2006."

    naturally, we are always curious to see what our
    page rank is in the search engines and how people find us and if you click marijuana plants seized louisiana 2006 up there, you can see what the dps googler saw.

    no. 4. No. 40569-KA COURT OF APPEAL SECOND CIRCUIT STATE OF LOUISIANA ... (see link) caught our attention so we decided to check it out and were we ever surprised at what we read...

    someone called the louisiana state police to report that there was marijuana growing at a rural area of winn parish, louisiana. so the state police, at a cost of thousands of dollars, promptly put a helicopter in the air to check it out.

    they spotted one marijuana plant near a fence row and they promptly sent in the storm troopers led by a state police lieutenant named richard horton.

    to make a long story short they found ONE single solitary marijuana plant growing in a five gallon bucket. the object of this massive air and land operation one steven lynn broadway, eventually pleaded guilty to attempted marijuana cultivation and was sentenced to -- get this -- prison for seven and one half years at hard labor. yeah thats right 7 1/2 years at hard labor for one marijuana plant. (and yeah we are talking about 2005 not 1955
    louisiana).

    do you realize that armed robbers, rapists, spouse beaters and other dregs of society do not receive such harsh sentences? as an example heres a times-picayune story chad over at the dead pelican linked to today that shows where a child pornographer received only six and a half years in prison. see laplace journalist sentenced to 6 years for child pornography.

    how many thousands of dollars is it costing tax payers to lock this guy up for seven and a half years? and to what end? whats it costing society by locking this guy up and letting real criminals go free?

    what the hell is the matter with the people in this state? with this states' legislature? we know people from the governor's office, the state legislature, the department of corrections and other state agencies stop by here from time to time and you all should be ashamed of yourselves for allowing grave and grievous injustices like this to take place.

    this guy should have his sentence commuted or be outright pardoned by the governor immediately! five, ten, fifteen no more than thirty days in the parish jail is way plenty of punishment for this "offense."


    these three idiots are not fit to judge a hog wallowing:"judge" d. milton moore iii 2nd circuit bio / state bar info

    "judge" gay c. gaskins 2nd circuit bio / state bar info

    "judge" harmon drew, jr. 2nd circuit bio / state bar info

    besides these three so called appeals court justices, everyone else connected to this outrage should be turned out of office. especially, the winn parish district attorney martin s. sanders, iii, the assistant district attorney james e. lewis and eighth judicial district court "judge" jim w. wiley.

    hb148 more wasteful farrar legislation

    the problem with louisiana is that the people in the legislature dont have any sense. well thats not entirely accurate, they have sense they just dont use it for good purposes. they dont use their sense for the well being of the people of the state. they use their sense which in their case is more accurately called "craftiness" to benefit themselves and those in their respective crime gangs.

    we know its an election year for representative rick farrar and so it must be a lot of assistant districts attorney in rapides parish with big families and voters that live in his district - dist. 27. even so the districts attorney are the laaaaast people that need a pay raise. in fact they should be investigated not given a raise.

    we just saw less than a year ago in the amanda gutweiler hypes case, how the rapides parish district attorney broke all kinds of laws and ethics rules when his office leaked secret grand jury testimony to their witnesses - one being a deputy sheriff so they would know which story to pitch at trial to ensure an easy conviction. we're not making this up - judge donald johnson threw the indictment out and the third circuit court of appeals sided with the judge.

    thats another thing - we see over in north carolina in the so called duke rape case how that district attorney is in all kinds of hot water over his actions in that case, yet...over here in the banana republic of louisiana our district attorneys actions didnt raise an eyebrow with those who are charged with overseeing the courts integrity. why do you suppose that is? the district attorneys office wasnt ashamed of their behaviour at all they practically called judge johnson a dumbass for quashing the indictment. and representative farrar thinks this warrants a pay raise? rubbish! what does the rapides parish district attorney do now to deserve the pay that they do receive? you never see the district attorney investigating any white collar crime arising out of rapides parish, louisiana.


    this bunch of horseshit isnt just limited to rapides parish either, as we saw a few years ago when the winn parish district attorney managed to get a guy sentenced to prison for seven and half years at hard labor for growing one marijuana plant - in a bucket. it was only about four feet tall so they didnt even know yet if the plant was a male or a female. from what we have been able to gather, male plants are worthless; its the female plants that produce the smokable part.

    now even if you are totally opposed to marijuana - and thats fine, think of all the tax money wasted to incarcerate this guy for seven and a half years, when five, ten, fifteen or thirty days tops in the parish jail would have been more than enough punishment.

    if representative farrar truly was representing the people and had the peoples best interest at heart he would (1) be leading the charge for the district attorneys office to be investigated for the amanda gutweiler hypes incident and (2) he would introduce a bill making it mandatory for all the city's, parishes, police jurys, water boards, levee boards etc... video tape, archive and stream their meetings from off their websites; (3) he would introduce legislation overturning the state supreme courts disastrous ruling in state of louisiana v leslie otto ordodi. wouldnt that be more beneficial to the people? or does that make too much sense?

    pineville, la. man dies after winn parish deer hunt

    wst... is saddened to learn of the death of kirby humbles.

    on the morning of thursday, 03 november 2011, mr. humbles, aged 65, departed the hunting camp near winnfield in winn parish, louisiana, he shared with his wife, lendria to make an early deer hunt.

    mr. humbles had a successful hunt too, harvesting a deer from his stand -- then dragging it to and loading it into the bed of his pick-up truck.

    when he didnt return to camp by around 11 am his wife began looking for him. searchers found mr. humbles around noon seated in the cab of his truck deceased due to natural causes.

    ====
    visitation and services for mr. humbles will be from trinity baptist church, off highway 28e near pineville, at 5:00 till 9:00 pm, sunday, 06 november and monday from 9:00 am until 11 am service time.

    ====
    we're pleased as punch that willie nelson wasnt jailed for his recent incident in st. martin parish, louisiana. mr. nelson wasnt bothering anyone and he was just passing through and if the truth was known his tour bus probably shouldnt have been pulled over in the first place.

    so this post isnt to beat up on mr. nelson and his entourage. according to the advocate story (see link) the police found more than one pound (approximately 1/2 kilo) of marijuana on his bus and so he pled guilty to possession and was fined $1,024 [751 eur] and placed on six months probation. now this is all well and good but what we want to know is what about the case of steven lynn broadway?

    mr. broadway was caught in winn parish, louisiana growing one single marijuana plant, in a bucket - it was reportedly around 4 feet [1.2 meter] tall and was sentenced to a louisiana prison for seven and one-half years at hard labor. does anyone else see a discrepancy here? willie nelson had over a pound of weed, processed and smokable. mr. broadway had one single immature plant, no one even said if the plant was a male or female plant and if you took a 4' tall plant and dried the leaves (can you even smoke the leaves?) out it probably wouldnt equal even an ounce. willie nelson gets a fine and steven lynn broadway goes to prison for seven and a half years -- this is ridiculous.

    we have a google news alert set for "edwin edwards" because awhile back a rumor began circulating that the president was about to pardon and release him from prison. so we set a google news alert to his name so we could see how the story broke across the web.

    since we set it, hardly a day goes by where edwin edwards isnt mentioned somewhere on the web. its usually just a passing reference to his "dead girl or live boy" quote. that seems to be really popular.

    lately though, we've been receiving news alerts that are taking us to blogs that are talking about the winnfield taser death of baron "scooter" pikes. apparently, the current winnfield police chief "is a convicted drug offender who got a pardon from edwin edwards." so thats what sets off googles news alert.

    rapides parish sheriff's office new drug detector dog


    kalb's mike magnoli reports on one of the new rapides parish sheriff's office new $12,500 drug detector/narcotics dog named max.

    although law enforcement likes to promote k-9 units as some sort of untrickable, super drug detector, former longtime texas narcotics officer, barry cooper says that nothing could be further from the truth.

    mr. cooper tells how unscrupulous police officers may on a whim -- like for instance, they dont like how you look or what race you are -- can and will make their narcotic detector dogs "false alert" so that they will have probable cause to search your automobile.

    mr. cooper an eight year police veteran trained his own narcotic detector dog "and soon became one of the top highway interdiction officers in east texas. although barry had less than five miles of highway to practice seizing narcotics, he held a county record of nearly one- hundred drug arrests and a record marijuana seizure."

    mr. cooper discovered that he had principles and a conscience:

    "barry now admits during his tour of duty in the war on drugs his conscience often bothered him while seeing everyday, hard working, non-violent citizens torn from their children and spouses and placed in jail during a raid or traffic stop.

    barry explains, "i knew what I was doing was wrong but my need for fame, adrenaline and peer acceptance overrode my good conscience." barry now realizes this is a war on people not a war on drugs. he explains "this war on people is a failed policy. we have more prisoners of this war in jail then ever before yet even the dea admits we have more potent drugs and a larger supply of drugs available than ever before."" see about barry cooper

    in the above video, mr. cooper says that there are several ways to confound drug detector dogs and prevent either a real alert or a false alert. carry a cat in your car. another method is so spray your tires with deer scents and fox urines that hunters use because "this confuses the dog where his drive is channeled to chasing these things instead of looking for the marijuana." see traffic stops--fooling the drug dogs
