    Man Charged With Murder After Mowing Down Elderly Woman In Home Depot With A Stolen Forklift

    A Maryland man has been arrested after he allegedly stole a forklift and used it to run over an elderly woman, killing her, in the parking lot of Home Depot, Fox News reported. 

    Bryce Caleb Timothy Brown, 20, of Waldorf, was arrested Sunday for the death of 73-year-old Gloristine Pinkney. According to detectives with the Charles County Sheriff’s Office, they responded to a call of a burglary and theft in progress at a Lowe’s Home Improvement store at around 12:40 a.m., Sunday. 

    When officers arrived Brown had already made off with a stolen forklift from Lowes, crashing it through the rear gates to escape. He drove to a nearby Home Depot where police said he slammed into a car in the parking lot

    “for unknown reasons.”

    The victim, who was asleep inside the car at the time, was startled by the accident and managed to exit the vehicle. However, when she tried to escape, Brown followed her, ran her over with the forklift, and then stole her car and fled the scene, according to detectives. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

    “Officers who were investigating the initial burglary at Lowe’s canvassed the area and observed the forklift in the Home Depot parking lot. They subsequently discovered the victim underneath of the forklift,”

    CCSO wrote in a statement.

    “After pursuing leads, detectives were able to positively identify Brown as the suspect. He was arrested during the evening hours of July 2. The victim’s vehicle was recovered near the suspect’s house,”

    the statement continued.

    He faces charges of first-degree murder, second-degree murder, assault, and

    “other related charges,”

    according to the sheriff’s office.

    Group of Rowdy Teenagers Trash and Rob Leimert Park McDonald’s After Juneteenth Celebration, One Suspect Arrested So Far

    LAPD is investigating a destructive raid that occurred Monday night at a McDonald’s close to Leimert Park after a Juneteenth celebration, Fox 11 reports. The culprits are a group of teens who trashed and looted the fast food chain, getting away with the cash register.

    The social media video shows the rowdy teens tearing apart the McDonald’s as employees and customers scream and yell in the background. One jumped over the counter and began destroying the property. In addition, the video also shows another teen snatching the cash register before quickly running out of the establishment.

    “He stole the cash register,”

    an off-camera person yelled.

    Once outside, footage shows the unidentified young kid slamming the register on the ground. Then, when it opened, the rest of the teenagers swarmed around to collect the money.

    Additional footage from the business showed employees shielding themselves from the commotion behind the counter while the group threw burgers, fries, and other McDonald’s products across the restaurant.

    Tony Lardas, the owner of the McDonald’s franchise, told Fox 11,

    “We are deeply concerned by the recent incident. The safety of employees and customers is my top priority, and we’re focused on supporting our restaurant team as we continue to assist local law enforcement in their investigation.”

    So far, only one person has been connected to the chaotic event, and they were arrested for robbery. The suspect is a 19-year-old, but their name is not public information. LAPD spokesperson Drake Madison told local newspapers that the search continues for the rest of the group.

    Nearby restaurant manager, Teron Liggins, spoke to Fox 11 about the incident.

    “It got a little hot for a second, and it’s a lot of people crowded together. And everybody created, you know, some type of animosity. It was unfortunate.

    The amount of money taken in the robbery is still unknown.

    Convenience Store Clerk Hired Friend To Rob The Store So He Could Leave Work Early

    An Oklahoma man allegedly asked his friend to rob the convenience store he works at so he could get off of work early, police said per Fox News. 

    Isaias Jones, who initially acted as a victim, told police he gave up the stores cash to a man who walked into the establishment on June 5 and passed him a note that said,

    “Give me all your money or I will shoot you,”

    the Tulsa Police Department wrote on Facebook. 

    Steven Jones was arrested in connection with the robbery. Steven Jones reportedly confessed to the crime and told police he was hired by a woman named Alyia Locke, a friend of Isaias Jones, who invited her to rob the store, so she could get some quick cash and he could go home early. 

    Isaias Jones was taken into custody on June 14, and faces,

    “embezzlement and conspiracy to commit a felony charge,”

    reports reveal. Steven Jones faces,

    “conspiracy to commit embezzlement and possession of a firearm AFCF (after former conviction of a felony) charges.”

    According to police, Locke was arrested on an outstanding warrant on June 9 and faces additional charges. She reportedly admitted to setting up the robbery, claiming that Isaias Jones had paid her afterward. She also allegedly exposed incriminating text messages from Isaias Jones, police say. 

    “Our Human Resources department, and likely every H.R. department in the world would like to advise people that this is not the recommended way to leave work early,”

    the police department joked at the end of the Facebook post.

    “Carry on.”

    Florida Man Arrested After Dismembered Food Delivery Driver Was Found In Trash

    A Florida man is now in police custody after the dismembered remains of a food delivery driver were found in a trash bin outside of his home, CBS News reports.

    On April 19th, the victim, who worked as a delivery driver for both Uber Eats and DoorDash, texted his wife to tell her he had one more delivery before being able to return home. That was the last time he spoke to her. After multiple texts and calls went unanswered, the woman notified police.

    Two days later deputies from the Pasco Sheriff’s Office went to the home of the missing man’s last known delivery. There, the suspect’s roommate provided officials with video from their doorbell camera that showed the victim.

    “You can actually see the victim walking up to the house to deliver food, but the video cuts off at that point,” Pasco Sheriff Chris Nocco explained at a press conference.

    In the footage for the next day, 30-year-old Oscar Solis was seen taking out multiple bags of trash. When the outdoor trash bin was searched by detectives, they discovered the dismembered remains of the victim. Inside the home, the victim’s car keys and wedding ring were found.

    Solis was immediately arrested and charged with felony murder in conjunction with robbery. The suspect, who was recently released on parole, has a history of being affiliated with the MS-13 gang and had previously served four years in prison for burglary and assault.

    “This was a horrific crime of passion,” Sheriff Nocco said. “This was demonic. What he did was demonic.”

  • 78-Year-Old Woman Arrested After Being Accused Of Robbing A Bank For The Third Time Since 1977

    78-Year-Old Woman Arrested After Being Accused Of Robbing A Bank For The Third Time Since 1977

    An elderly woman in Missouri, who has a prior record of robbing banks, was apprehended on Wednesday for attempting to rob another bank in Pleasant Hill, officials say, reports Fox. Cops at the Pleasant Hill Police Department responded to the bank robbery close to 3:20 p.m. at the Goppert Financial Bank. 

    Officials later located 78-year-old Bonnie Gooch during a traffic stop, where she was apprehended without incident. However, according to Fox 4, this isn’t the elderly woman’s first rodeo when it comes to robbing banks. Back in 2020, Gooch, who was 75 years old at the time was taken into custody in Lee’s Summit for robbing a bank and was later convicted. Her sentence was suspended and her supervised probation ended in Nov 2021. 

    For the most recent robbery, Gooch was charged with stealing or attempted stealing from a financial institution, as her bond has been set at $25,000. Officials say that the woman used a similar technique as the robbery in 2020, by giving a note to the bank staff. 

    The news outlet went on to say that the criminal complaint in 2020 highlighted that Gooch was also convicted of robbing a bank 46 years ago in California.

  • Convict Known As “The Facebook Rapist” Is On The Run After Faking His Death And Escaping Prison

    Convict Known As “The Facebook Rapist” Is On The Run After Faking His Death And Escaping Prison

    Police officials in South Africa have launched a nationwide manhunt for a convicted rapist known as the “Facebook Rapist,” after he faked his death and escaped a privately-run maximum security prison in Bloemfontein, CBS News reports.

    In 2012, Thabo Bester was sentenced to life in prison for the rape, robbery, and murder of a model. He had previously been convicted of raping and robbing two aspiring models that he had lured through Facebook. In May of 2022, a spokesperson from The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) announced Bester’s death. They claimed that a fire had started in his prison cell at the Mangaung Correctional Centre, taking his life.

    Almost a year later, after investigating the death further, DNA tests revealed that the burned remains found in the serial rapist’s cell belong to someone else. The victim used to fake Bester’s death has yet to be identified, but an autopsy revealed that the cause of death was from blunt force trauma to the head before being set on fire. Officials are now investigating the incident as a homicide.

    The Ministry of Justice and Correctional Services is now offering a reward for those with any information leading to Bester’s re-arrest.

    “No stone will be left unturned in getting to the bottom of Thabo Bester’s escape, and there will be serious consequences for any party involved,” the ministry said in a statement.

  • California Thieves Steal Half a Million Dollars Worth of Marijuana

    California Thieves Steal Half a Million Dollars Worth of Marijuana

    Police are searching for a group of thieves who were captured on surveillance footage robbing half a million dollars worth of marijuana from a California cannabis shop, the NY Post reported. 

    The robbery occurred at 3Bros marijuana warehouse on Fair Avenue in Santa Cruz at around 2:30 a.m. on Thursday. The video shows four cars stationed outside the business with a group of masked men loading the vehicles with hundreds of pounds of weed. 

    An unnamed witness said the burglars were armed and moved so swiftly that they finished and sped off in less than 15 minutes, each vehicle going in different directions.

    “They were masked up, clubbed up, and I had a really hard time even making the description of the people because of the weapons I saw,”

    they told KSBW. 

    Police are also having a hard time identifying the men due to the use of stolen vehicles and license plates, according to the outlet. Police believe the thieves targeted another cannabis store on Sunday in the Harvey West Park area in Santa Cruz.

    Police Deputy Chief Jon Bush said these attacks against cannabis businesses are spreading across the Bay Area.

    “Unfortunately, this isn’t something that’s just occurring in Santa Cruz,”

    he told KSBW.

    “It’s across all the Bay Area and the region, especially with the recent increase in marijuana dispensaries being allowed to sell marijuana.”

    Official suspect that thieves are robbing these businesses because they

    “incorrectly believe the stores have a lot of cash on hand,”

    reports note.
