    3 TSA Agents Arrested For Allegedly Stealing Cash From Passengers At A Miami International Airport Security Checkpoint

    Three TSA agents are accused of conspiring together to steal money from passengers at a security checkpoint at the Miami International Airport, Insider reports. 

    After an investigation was called for by the federal security director for law enforcement at MIA, police uncovered the three culprits. Elizabeth Fuster, 22, Labarrius Williams, 33, and 20-year-old Josue Gonzalez were arrested Thursday on charges of

    “organized schemes to defraud,”

    reports reveal. 

    After multiple reports of theft coming out of Checkpoint E, detectives launched an investigation into the matter. According to the outlet, surveillance footage captured the three TSA agents plotting to distract passengers during security screenings while they steal money from their luggage.

    In one of the surveillance videos the three agents reportedly made off with $600 they took from a passenger’s wallet during a security screening. Along with

    “several”

    other incidents showing them committing theft, the outlet reported.

    Fuster and Gonzalez waived their rights during an interview at the TSA Command Center and admitted to their actions in written statements. Williams however, decided to not waive his rights and declined to speak, according to WFOR-TV.

    “The Transportation Security Administration holds its Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) to the highest professional and ethical standards and has no tolerance for misconduct in the workplace,”

    the statement read.

    “We actively and aggressively investigated these allegations of misconduct and presented our findings to MDPD, and are working closely with them. Any employee who fails to meet our fundamental ethical standards is held accountable.”

    NYC Firefighter Charged For Stealing Credit Card From Dead Man and Attempting To Use It To Buy Airpods, Groceries and Gas

    An FDNY firefighter has been indicted for stealing credit cards from a dead patient and going on a shopping spree with them, NY Post reported. 

    The suspect, 33-year-old Sylus McKenzie, of the Bronx, allegedly attempted to purchase AirPods at Target and several items at a Food Bazaar supermarket and Sunoco gas station, according to authorities.

    The disturbing events occurred on Jan. 11, 2021, when McKenzie responded to a 911 call about an unresponsive man in Manhattan. The resident was pronounced dead at the scene, the DA said in a press release. McKenzie took the opportunity to steal the dead man’s credit cards while other first responders were sealing the home. 

    Prosecutors allege that McKenzie went the next morning, between 9 and 11 a.m., going to different stores attempting to use the victim’s cards. Trying to spend a total amount of $1,123.21, authorities said.

    McKenzie was indicted last week on several charges including

    “grand larceny, attempted identity theft, criminal impersonation, and official misconduct,”

    reports reveal. He had been working for the FDNY for four years prior to his arrest. 

    “The defendant, a firefighter in the New York City Fire Department, allegedly stole an American Express card and a Mastercard while responding to a 911 call at the Manhattan home of a patient who died,’’

    Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said in the statement.

    “A day later, the defendant allegedly went to various stores in the Bronx and made purchases using the stolen cards… These alleged actions are reprehensible, even more so because he is a member of the city’s Bravest and violated the public trust.”

    Authorities Search For Man That Escaped Jail By Impersonating Inmate Due For Release

    Washington state authorities are still attempting to locate a man who escaped a correctional facility by impersonating another inmate who was due to be released, Newsweek reported.

    On Monday, April 17th, Brian Francisco Roman escaped from the Cowlitz County Jail. When a corrections officer called for the inmate who was due to be released, the 26-year-old approached them instead, and left to be processed out of custody. Roman then received property belonging to the other inmate, signed paperwork by forging the inmate’s name, and left. Staff members didn’t realize their mistake until the inmate that was meant for release asked when he would be leaving.

    Local law enforcement are now searching for Roman in cities and town surrounding the facility. Authorities say he was last seen wearing a blue hoodie, a black shirt, gray sweatpants, and brown slippers. He is now wanted for charges of second-degree escape, first-degree criminal impersonation, forgery, second-degree theft, and third-degree theft.
