D.O.T.D. July 25
|
- Talk about a misuse of power. In Plainville, CT, police have arrested a 33 year-old woman after she tried to retaliate against her former boss by having the electricity to his home cut off. The suspect was fired on June 25 from her job at a Glastonbury (CT) insurance-sales agency. She allegedly used a co-worker’s computer password the next day to make a request that Northwest Utilities shut off the power to her boss’s Plainville home. When the utility company called the woman’s boss to verify the request, they discovered the call was a fake. The woman was charged with breach of peace and using a computer to commit a crime.
- In Canton, MI, a 54 year-old man named Joseph Webster, allegedly walked into a Comerica bank, gave the teller a robbery note and claimed he had a bomb strapped to his body. A nearby customer overheard what was going on and pulled out his licensed 9 mm handgun and told Joseph, “You aren’t robbing this bank.” Joseph replied, “But I have a bomb.” The customer then said, “I don’t care.” Mr. Webster then sat quietly down in a chair, where he remained until police arrived to arrest him.
- Other great senior story. Four years ago, Pearline Williamson of London had her purse stolen and she vowed from that day on that she would fight back against criminals any chance she got. Well recently Pearline got her chance. A woman in her 20s snatched Pearline’s purse and ran. Pearline did what she vowed and ran after the thief and within a few blocks caught up with her. According to Pearline, “I ran after (her) and grabbed her as hard as I could. At first, she said she hadn’t taken my purse, so I shook the life out of her until she finally gave it back.” After handing over the purse, the thief ran off and as of yesterday, police still hadn’t caught her.
