Hello, everybody, and welcome to this episode of True Crime. Time for Thursday, September 25th, 2025. And I'm Woody Everton.
C
I'm Cindy Everton.
B
I got it. Bringing it to you, the crime news, Right. Once you say something open to show.
C
This time there's no crime, it's done.
B
Yeah. Now, I don't want to say I hope there is crime, but if it's done, we're done. The crime is always going to be there. It's not realistic, so. And it is what it is. But it's the end of September.
C
It is, thank goodness.
B
And cooler weather is almost upon us. Bow season opens in less than a week. And it is what it is.
C
Are you going to be bow hunting?
B
Yeah, I gotta, I gotta say, with a crossbow. That was not gonna do with crossbow this year. Too old to be practicing and pulling and doing all the way. We used to do it with recurve, but that's not why we're here telling about some true crime.
C
Okay. Going to Uvalde, Texas.
B
Yep. Been there too.
C
And what I remember about Uvalde and this is a crime is probably the late 80s going around that area with my dad and my two brothers and my stepmother. And we were on a highway, we were going to a piece of property that he leased and we were on our way home and he all of a sudden stops. Now. We didn't have like the most electronic thing I had was a Walkman. And I don't even think I could have that in the car with him. But he stops the Suburban and he's like, cindy, look out the window. And I'm look out the window and there's tarantulas hopping up and down. You cannot see the freaking road. And it's just tarantulas hopping. That's what I had. Like, I had trauma and ptsd.
B
From that moment, I'm gonna have it. That's that. I do not like spiders.
C
I know. I don't like spiders either.
B
All right, tell us the story.
C
So in mid September, Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District CISD discovered it was the target of a ransomware attack on its technology systems. And because several essential systems were disabled, the district decided to shut down all schools for four days. So from Monday, September 15th through Thursday, September 18th, the district said the attack disrupted critical infrastructure, including the school phone systems, air conditioning, security, camera monitoring, visitor check in management, and the Skyward platform that's used for payroll and campus management. They got it all. Because these systems are all necessary for safety, communication and daily operations. The district said it could not safely keep campuses open while they were offline. Uvalde CISD officials reported the incident to the FBI cybersecurity experts and their cyber insurance provider, and a forensic investigation is underway. They're trying to figure out how the malware got into their system and whether any sensitive data, such as student or teacher personal information, was compromised. And so far, district officials say that there's been no data breach confirmed, but they've hacked the whole system. But anyway, in response to the attack, the district is taking steps to restore the disabled systems. As of the most recent updates, systems like the H VAC and certain access control systems are expected to be restored by Monday, which was a couple days ago, and phones are still problematic and might remain down. In the meantime, the district said students may use personal devices to communicate with parents and staff and and staff may use personal phones because the official phone school phone lines are being repaired. And many parents and community members have expressed concern not just about the disruption and everything, but in the transparency. They want to know if their or their children's private information is safe and whether the school issued iPads connected to district servers might be compromised and whether this incident reflects larger issues with the district's cybersecurity practices. And some question whether the recent resignation of the district's technology director played a role. That's interesting, but the ransomware attack also comes at a sensitive moment for uvalde, since in 2022, the district was heavily criticized for its handling of safety and transparency after the tragic Robb elementary school shooting in which 19 students and two teachers were killed. And that past event has increased community focus on how the district handles security, communication and accountability.
B
Well be some new policy and procedures coming out because of them. Right. It's time for beast mode. It's time for worldwide crime. Got a two fur. Beast mode and worldwide crime coming at you. All right, you know you like zoos. What do you like about them?
C
Well, I mean, I like certain animals like the seals, otters.
B
Okay. What else? I mean, do you get to pet them or anything? No seals, no. You have to watch them from afar. Okay. Going to Bangkok, Thailand and they got this big ass zoo, okay. And one guy woke up, had his morning breakfast and everything. And this called Safari World in Bangkok. He drove to work his work at Safari World in Bangkok and he got there around 11am local time. Go little Suzuki, the little jeep, sharp painted like zebras or whatever they are. I don't know what kind of vehicle are. So the zookeeper gets to work and goes into the lion place. There's a bunch of lions, okay. And he literally walked out there and tourists all around walks out there and turns his back on the lines and just stands there. I'm just telling what the witnesses said. So the, the next thing that happened is Captain Obvious. The tourists became horrified as they watch as a pack of lions ate the zookeeper alive. Isn't that crazy? They said the beast pounced on the worker when he stepped out of his jeep in the open enclosure at Safari World in Bangkok at around 11:00am local time. So the shocked visitors screamed as the lions pinned down their victim and feasted on human flesh. Onlookers, which included several of his co workers, could only sound their horns and futile attempt to scare away the big lions. And I'm pretty sure nobody's about to run in there and try to start chunking thousand pound lines off this dude like he is. But some officials did arrive and they arrived with guns. The lions must be smart to guns because when they saw the guns, they ran. Oh, yep, they scattered. But the zookeeper was already dead. He had been mauled to death as the lions gnawed his body until the bones were exposed. Right. So zoo staff eventually drove the lions away and closed the drive through area where a puddle of blood could be seen on the ground. So this is one of those where you drive through and get to feed the animals out the window. And an eyewitness, Professor Chapang Kachin Chong, who's a doctor at Elite Hospital who was visiting that time, said a man got off an uncovered car and stood alone with his back turned to the animals, which I thought was weird. He stood there for about three minutes. Then a lion walked slowly and grabbed him from the back. He did not scream. Grabs me from the back, I'm gonna be screaming. Like a little.
C
Sounds intentional.
B
The professor goes on, says it was about 10 meters away, then slowly approached and grabbed the zookeeper from behind, dragging him to the ground and biting him. Three or four other lines then joined in with the Biden. Many people witnessed the incident but didn't know how to help. They honked their own car horns and shouted for help. Is that the doctor said? At first I assumed it was familiar to the zookeepers as the person who was bidden might have been a lion keeper. How the is that normal business? But anyway, he said, I thought the lions were trying to hug him, so no one went near that area. So funny. Come on, man. They were hugging him in between their jaws. So the doctor said the attack continued for around 15 minutes before the zoo staff were able to reach the victim and they took him to the hospital. Of course, you know he's dead afraid. They said this deceased is a zoo staff member who usually fed lions. According to Sabnhui Pongpun D, who's the wildlife protection director of the Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation. And that's what he's told the media. He said the keeper was apparently mauled by six or seven of the big cats when he stepped out his car. According to his doctor, he's turned his back on him for three minutes. Yeah, and they snuck up and did what lions do. Yeah, but you know, if he was a person and he's the person in charge of feeding them, damn sure not gonna get out and turn my back on because like Pavlov's condition, they did. Hey, when homeboy shows up, he's bringing some meat.
C
Well, he. That's what they thought, apparently.
B
Exactly. So anyway, there's all kinds of condolences and all that. And you know, they said the lines were shipped to different parks because they didn't do anything wrong and actually they didn't. No, they were being lions. Yeah, that's what lions do.
C
That's what lions do.
B
Anyway, the lion ownership is illegal in Thailand and the captive lion population has exploded in recent years with nearly 500 lions registered. Zoos, breeding farms, petting cafes and homes. Yeah, petting cafes, that sound great business model. You Ready?
C
Okay.
B
Let's open up a bar. Petting bar. Perfect. You know what? I'm gonna expound upon that petting bar. We're gonna have bears, grizzly bears, polar bears. Bingo. Tigers. What else? Oh, we're going to have wild hogs. You can get cebrusilosis like me. And then at the same time, it's going to be a petting bar firing range. Have all the alcohol you want, fire all the guns you want, and pet all the dead or dangerous animals you want.
C
Axe throwing thing too. That's popping right now.
B
Well, that is very popular. And I was going to mention that, but I figured firearms would cause more controversy. And then how much do you think too?
C
Like we got to hit all of them.
B
Okay. Samurai swords.
C
Perfect.
B
And the. How much do you think the insurance would be on that? A month.
C
And maybe naked.
B
Oh, there you go. And naked. If I was going to do naked, I'd oil. I would oil up in baby oil first so that way if the bears and shit trying to get me, they can slide off.
C
No, just oil you up in some. Some peanut oil.
B
I want an attractant. I want.
C
When you're done, we just fry your ass or put you on the rotisserie. What do you call that? Couchon delay.
B
Yeah, that's funny. All right, give us a crime.
C
Oh, all of that is is a crime.
B
That's crazy. As dude but didn't think he's gonna get his ass ate. We went to work that morning.
C
But why would he have his back turned for three minutes? In my world, he's doing it intentionally. Like he knows that they're going to come.
B
I knew you were what your conspiracy theorist asked.
C
It's not a conspiracy.
B
You want to commit suicide? Hey, how about the doctor's clock was wrong.
C
The doctor said he was hugging. They were hugging him too.
B
Exactly what my point. The doctor is wrong.
C
So that makes me right.
B
No, not touching it.

Cmintmobile.com going to Saline County, Arkansas in a little quiet community called Balksite. B A U X I T E and there was two women. This was in mid July. There was two women, Denise Rhodes and her neighbor Robin De Sort. They disappeared within days of each other. The first one disappeared on July 12 when deputies responded to a structure fire at Rhodes home on Laurel, I mean Lauren Lane. And after the fire was extinguished, Rhodes was nowhere to be found. Then, not long after, De Sort's family reported her missing as well. So investigators soon located her GMC Yukon abandoned on an ATV trail near Rhodes property. And which was a troubling sign that they felt like connected the two disappearances. Detectives began digging into the women's last known movements. And they combed through phone records, financial activity, and conducted interviews with people in the area. And these efforts pointed them towards one person, and that was Michael Robert Weser. And he was a man that live near Rhodes. Evidence showed that Weser had contact with both of them during the period leading up to their disappearances. And as weeks go on, investigators continued to find additional items of evidence around Wesser's residence that reinforced their suspicions. The most chilling discovery came on September 7, when human remains were located on the property near his home. DNA testing later confirmed the remains belonged to Denise Rhodes and Robin De Sort, officially shifting their case from the missing person investigation now to a double homicide. Three days later, on September 10, authorities secured a search warrant, I mean secured a warrant, and arrested Weser without incident. He was charged with two counts of capital murder as well as abuse of a corpse and arson related to the fire in Rhodes home. Though investigators have not publicly revealed a motive, the sequence of the fire, the abandoned vehicle, the forensic evidence, and the discovery of the women's remains all drew obviously an unmistakable line back to Wesser. And.
B
You don't have to prove motive right Right. But they put it together and it seems to be what it is. Murder, Murder, murder. Killing is bad, right?
C
Yeah.
B
All right. September 25th, there will be football on tonight. It's been football on for a couple weeks, right. And you know, I like to watch my football doves and I've been watching football together when I was younger, man, you know, just had Monday night Football, not Sunday night. We'd get together and play poker and stuff like that. And football party watch. Parties are a big deal. Like when we get everybody together, watch LSU and what have you. So what do you think is proper to bring to a football party?
C
Dipping chips.
B
Right. Your own beer. Because I don't want to.
C
Oh, yeah, of course.
B
Dip some chips. But, you know, whatever. Usually we have everything anyway, but. Yeah, well, let's go to Missouri. They in Missouri and St. Louis to be a matter of fact, which I've driven you through numerous times. They were having a gathering to watch college football and the gathering turn deadly because one of the roommates shot another roommate. What are you shooting for?
C
I'm assuming of over one of the.
B
Foods that was there food for them. Shot him in an argument over drugs.
C
Oh.
B
So Marvin Bird is 54, was charged with first degree murder, armed criminal action, unlawful possession of a firearm and resistant arrest and the killing of his roommate. These are in their 50s. Bird was 54. The roommate was 58. His name is Dwayne Thomas. According to court records, the burger angry at Thomas when his roommate failed to bring drugs and household items to the party. You didn't remember some dope? Man, you bring me a bag of weed and some shit paper, I'm going to kill you. So the argument escalated and then it resulted in the shooting around 6:30pm on Saturday. When St. St. Louis police arrived at the Henner Avenue home, they found Thomas lying in the street with gunshot wounds. He was taken to a hospital where, as you all know, the tagline he was pronounced dead. Well, Bird actually talked to the detectives when they got there.
C
Okay.
B
And he told him, he said, hey, this is due to a result of a long buildup of frustration with Thomas. And the detective said the defendant explained to detectives that they the confidential victim was being verbally reckless. Initially, the defendant stated the confidential victim, which they named later on. Initially the defendants say the confidential victim charged at him. He later stated it was an accident and this was a result of a long buildup of frustration with his roommate. Now, an eyewitness told investigators they heard the gunfire, then saw Bird standing nearby holding a gun. The incident was Also captured on a doorbell camera. And he bird was taken into custody at the scene after he resists arrest. They were like we got you on camera, we're going to rush you. And then he want to fight the cops.
C
Yeah.
B
And he's being held without bond. So I've got a lot of change confessions but never changed from yeah, I was defending myself to the accident is a huge one. They love to bite a hold of that. Then it's like prove it on you. But they don't know that you got a camera and all. But then he was like no, he, he was supposed to bring me some dope toilet paper. And when he get it, I got mad. But as in the first time he showed up empty handed to watch college football. There you have that.
C
Wow.
B
Missouri has the death penalty. I don't think you'll get it for this case. But is what it is.
C
Yeah.
B
Your turn.
C
You told a story about the woman being ran over at like that home. Like.
B
Yeah, Greenbrier.
C
Yeah. Yeah. So it's kind of a similar story but we're going to Brooklyn. Specifically Seagate Rehabilitation and Nursing center in Coney Island. Brooklyn.
B
Okay.
C
Brooklyn. At approximately 10:30pm on Sunday, September 14, police were called there following reports that an 89 year old woman named Nina Krastov was found unresponsive in her bed. She was discovered covered in blood with visible gash marks on her face and head. The suspect was 95 year old Galena Spirnova and she was found in the room's bathroom wearing a blood stained hospital gown. And she had visible blood on her legs and was washing her hands in the sink when officers arrived. There was also a blood covered wheelchair foot pedal found.
B
She was 90 something years old. She might need a foot pedal.
C
Well, she needed the foot foot pedal. So the bloody foot pedal was found inside the room and another foot pedal was located outside under a window. These items are what is believed to be her weapon, what she used to harm the 89 year old. Krabstoff was transported to NYU long gone hospital where she was later pronounced dead. The medical examiner ruled her cause of death as blunt force trauma. Smirnova was arrested on September 16th and arraigned on the 17th. She was charged with second degree murder and fourth degree criminal possession of a weapon. She was remanded into custody without bail. The district attorney's office requested a mental health evaluation, but the judge declined to order one.
B
She's 92, right? She ain't gonna live forever.
C
And Smirnova's lawyer has not commented Publicly. But Kravtov's family, including her daughter, have expressed deep grief. And they said that she was a Holocaust survivor from the Ukraine and she worked as a nurse and will be remembered as a mother, a devoted mother and grandmother. So I just can't imagine living that many years and being murdered in your nursing home. There you go by your roommate.
B
Should be going on in nursing homes. I work a lot of cases there. And they have more sex in nursing homes than they do in whorehouses.
C
Yes. And sexually transmitted diseases.
B
All right, I'll give you the shortest story of all time. Are you ready?
C
Yep.
B
Guaranteed to go to jail if you do this. We're going to Duluth and then I think that's been said. Right. So Duluth police. This is. This would be public service. I forgot what button to press for that public service announcement. If you do this, you're going to jail. This guy's 72 years old. Duluth police arrested 72 year old man Thursday night who threatened to shoot the windows of an elementary school. Now look, school shootings and everything nowadays, you know, your fucking ass is going down.
C
Yeah.
B
So those threats were directed toward Laurel MacArthur Elementary School. Police made the rest Thursday night at the man's home in the 5500 block of West 6th Street. The man who was arrested faces threats of violence charges and they did not name the suspect. But a shotgun, assault rifle and various ammunition were seized as the officers executed a search warrant. Short story ever. That's it. That's all I got.
C
Okay.
B
But you know, if you're 72 year old and you call in, say, I'm going to shoot up the school, they are coming to your door.
C
Yeah.
B
And they're going to find out. They're going to check your temperature. And his must have been running a little hot. He's gone. Bye bye.
C
Yeah.
B
Don't even know his name. Your turn. It's time for Worldwide crime.
C
Going to Prince George, British Columbia. And on September 5th, a man named Casper Lincoln.
B
Do you know what country that's in?
C
Canada.
B
That's correct. Just checking a temperature.
C
I'm gonna check your temperature. There was a man named Casper Lincoln and he was spotted driving a little pink Barbie Jeep like the little battery powered ones like our kids used to have. And he was driving it down the main road and he had a friend.
B
Pretty sure it's not road legal.
C
No. And a friend was walking beside him as he headed to the Slurpee shop.
B
There you go.
C
He said he was too lazy to walk.
B
Well, he proved it.
C
So witnesses filmed Lincoln cruising in his toy vehicle, wearing aviator sunglasses and even using hand signals. Nice going. Slowly. Reportedly around three miles per hour. The police pulled him over and their unmarked RCMP cruiser. And they said that, that the. They said that the toy car was still being treated as a motorized vehicle for legal purposes.
B
So yeah, it moves. It's motorized.
C
Right. So when stopped officers found Lincoln's driver's license was suspended and he failed to breathalyzer test, confirming that he was driving the little toy jeep under the influence. So because British Columbia law requires anyone operating a motorized vehicle on public roads to have a valid license and insurance, even for toy vehicles, Lincoln was cited for prohibited driving. Lincoln said he was unaware that he was doing anything illegal. And he described the act as harmless. And he said he even used hand signals and he was going slow and he plans on fighting the ticket.
B
Yeah, okay.
C
And the officers offered the final warning at the end of telling him, don't drink and drive.
B
That is true. I've seen them on lawnmowers. Just like the old George Jones song. Seen them on horseback. Soon, whichever way you take the vehicles, it's kind of like killing him. If you want to do it, you can get it done. So you took a Barbie Jeep. All right.
C
Yep.
B
All right. Well, let's just see if I can absolutely bring some joy to all of your world. Probably the last story of the day. Right. It's time for family matters. Going to Elmore County, Alabama. All right. And they had a dad. He's in trouble with the law. He was a father of a two month old boy. I should just not skip forward. Let's just get to the meat of this, huh? So. Well, it's kind of a. Kind of a little bit of justice. Not really. I'm about to really you up then get the tear fountains ready. All right. So the. This man told investigators he did not feed his two month old son because he quotations had no duty to do so since he was the father. Right. Okay. So an Alabama man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after he starved his two month old son to death. Christopher Matthews, who's 40 years old of Elmore county was found guilty of aggravated child abuse back in August in connection with the 2018 death of his son Carson. And it's according to the local news WS FA 12 and Waka Action 8. But on they said on Thursday, September 18th, 19th Judicial Circuit District Attorney C.J. robinson issued a press release stating that Carson was born weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces. And he died two months later weighing substantially less in an Interview with law enforcement. Christopher Matthews admitted to having never taken Carson to the doctor after they got him out of the hospital after his birth. He claimed he never personally fed his child and had no duty to do so because he was the man of the house. Now. Robinson compared the photos in this case, the the DA to horror movie scenes. Said this withered child's body was nothing but a dirty skin covered skeleton. A haunting image that no one who saw it will ever forget. Now, you might ask about mom, so I'm going to tell you about her. Shirley Matthews, the baby's mama, was convicted of the same crime back in July 2024 and she was also given 20 years in prison. They said, quote, christopher and Shirley Matthews completely destroyed the life of their baby boy, neglecting his existence until he died. Died. No question. This is one of the hardest cases we've ever had to prosecute. The suffering and agonizing death of this baby was completely avoidable. Evil is real. Honestly, prison is too good for what they deserve. Sick to her stomach, Presiding judge Amanda Baxley gets Matthews up during the sentencing. And what do you think she has to say? Well, she called the case horrific. She said, I wish I could sentence you to more than 20 years, but the law at the time of this offense handcuffed the prosecution and the handcuffed me as well. She added and said that the law in Alabama has since been updated to allow for more severe sentencing and situations like this. But the law was not yet in effect at the time your crime. So 20 years old were they?
C
How old are the parents?
B
I think 30s and 40s. Let's see. I'll tell you. Huh.
C
And aren't there pictures?
B
She was, yeah, there's a picture of him.
C
Did he miss a meal?
B
No, no, he never missed a meal. And hold on, let's see.
C
I'm sorry. Not shaming anybody, but she certainly didn't miss a meal.
B
That's the truth. And he's 40. 40 years old.
C
Do they give a day for day or is it a hard 20?
B
I'm not from Alabama. I don't know. Meth should be the next calendar.
C
They'll be close to our age and they'll be out and like living life.
B
Yeah, well, unfortunately the law was what it was the judge.
C
Hopefully there will be some prison.
B
The judge would have given them the maximum. And guess what? Alabama definitely has a death penalty. But I guess if you starve, you're two month old to death. Hey, you know what? I'm not feeding anybody our house ever again. It's not my job. I'm the daddy.
C
Well, there's no problem. I cook every night.
B
That's not true. I cook. I cook.
C
Donna, I'm not saying that you don't cook.
B
Okay, you do cook every night. But I cook sometimes, too. We'll cook this weekend. Okay, what you want? How about 16 hour brisket?
C
Sounds great.
B
I'm trying to stop you from crying.
C
That's sickening.
B
All right, well, let me see if I can end it on something like that is sickening. But you know what? It's real life for crime. It's real. And evil really does exist. And you don't hear about that one in the national news, do you? Right. No, you hear about it on Real life. Real crime, true crime. Time for. Let me try to find you something a little bit lighter, if that's even possible. I got all these horrible stories. Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible. I am quit saying horrible because just everything I'm looking at is horrible. How about, let's just go to prison?
C
Okay.
B
Okay. So we talked about prison a lot yesterday, I think, and stuff. And, you know, a lot of people that we deal with on this show are going to prison. A lot of them are going for child sex abuse. Like that teacher from earlier.
C
Right.
B
Was that yesterday or today? I don't know. But anyway, so let's go to. I gotta look it up. Oh, it's gonna cross the seas. Let's go to. It's time for Worldwide Crime, A prison across the pond.
C
Okay.
B
All right. And you know, even prisoners, they have rule books and they have shit they're not supposed to do. Well, you know, they're all in there for being assholes. And generally, well, I do like to save time. Time that they'll end up making a fine trustee one day because they'll follow the rules when they get inside. Some of them.
C
Some of.
B
But a lot of them are just gonna be dickheads no matter what.
C
Yeah.
B
So they got a prisoner who was serving or is serving jail time for child sex abuse images. Guess what? Now he's gonna be getting a little more time behind bars.
C
Okay. Guess why there's more child sex. Oh, he did something in prison.
B
What'd he do?
C
He hurt his roommate. His cellmate?
B
No, generally that's reversed. But they knew he was coming back on my cell block before they got back there. And they're like, hey, Sarge, can you put him in the cel? Oh, my gosh. And it'd be a pedophile or something. Right. But I mean swim did that swim. Didn't give a what they did to a pedophile. But a prisoner who served in time already for the child sex abuse images because he liked to spank his wank to kitties. And they. He's in a cell. Right. And we're in HP hmp, Her Majesty's Prison, I guess Moreland, which is near Doncaster. This happened back in June 2024. Y' all officers go look in the cell. It's called shakedown. Do what they do. Officers discovered detailed notes written by this prisoner. His name is Lee Glover. When they searched the cell and at the time, Glover, who's from Leeds, was serving a 32 month prison sentence for distributing indecent images of children. Well, they take this shit to trial because the notes weren't nice. And Judge Keir Montkeith said the content of the notes was graphic and disgusting. And for having the notes, Glover, he's 36 years old now. The judge gave him an additional seven months.
C
Good.
B
So now the defendant who had four relevant previous convictions from 33 offenses between 2012 and 2023, he pled guilty to these notes on Thursday because he was going to trial for it. I'm sure he took a plea deal. Prosecutor Joe Coley said Glover's offending history and indicated an extreme sexual interest in children. And among the notes found under his bed was a letter asking in quotation an apparent friend ready for access to his niece as well as sheets of paper describing sexual activity with two girls. The judges got it all. The court heard there was no evidence of any sexual activity taking place or the notes being distributed by the defense. Well, judge like go yourself. But Glover told police to notes referred to fantasies and thoughts he was having in his head and he felt writing them down was a way of getting them out of his head. That's his defense. He accepted. The notes came across as a manual or guide or advice which was similar to what he had read on the dark web. So literally have how to rape babies or get your. Get your best friend to give you his 8 year old as a. Or yeah, his niece as a sex toy. They say quotations. This is effectively pedophile manual that wouldn't have existed but for his authoring. The judge said. Mitigating Rebecca Tanner said the prison had agreed to allow Glover to write down his thoughts on paper and hand them over to professional as parts of attempts to manage his behavior. Well, Judge Monius was like go yourself. Glover had failed to mention this when he admitted to making the notes during a police Interview. He thought about it afterwards, right. He told the defendant, the judge said, you knew and you now know that you shouldn't have had those notes in the setting that you were existing in. Now, Glover was given a 10% reduction on his sentence due to his guilty plea. I think that's pretty good.
C
Yeah.
B
I mean, 2% isn't right. It's not 50. He received a further reduction after the court heard he had made considerable progress since this last offense been locked up. He's right. He's writing pedophile, man.
C
Yeah, that's progress.
B
Well, the defendant had been due to be released from prison on 18 June, but he was told he would serve at least 50% of his sentence, meaning he could be released within weeks from when we're recording this. And guess what?
C
He is not.
B
I don't know how it's going on over there with they have sex offender registration or whatever the. But y' all be looking out for Mr. Glover because he is going to rape another baby. Absolutely guaranteed. If I had all the money in the world to bet this dude's going to do some kind of chomo bullshit when he gets out. I bet because he's gonna do it.
C
I believe.
B
I would bet, guaranteed. Put that everything on it. Put that in your corn pipe and smoke that.
C
I'm sorry for the.
B
Hey, I'm doing this real quick and then we're gonna go for the day, okay? Because I. I hate a dirty cop. It's time for effed up professional going to Detroit city and everybody's got cameras. Including the cops wearing a camera. Yeah, absolutely. Geniuses. Some of them aren't right? Right. So Detroit police officer has been suspended without pay after he was allegedly caught stealing 600 from a suspect's purse. And while he hasn't been charged yet, the evidence is strong because it comes from his own body camera. It's our internal affairs lieutenant took a look at the video and immediately recognized, hey, we got a criminal act here this quarter. Commander Michael McGinnis. The officer is a four year veteran of the Detroit Police department. And here's what happened and why it matters beyond one traffic stop. So on March 7, three officers, including the one that's accused, pulled over a car involved in a suspected drug deal. After a search car, they found illegal drugs and arrested the driver and the passenger when the suspects were related release the woman in the passenger seat reported, hey, I got $600 missing from my purse. And she filed a complaint with the office of the chief investigator. The theft was quotation obvious close Quotation on the accused body camera. McGinnis told WXYZ Detroit said they had an envelope of cash disappeared from the woman's purse while the camera was recording. Now there's no evidence the other two officers involved or even had aware what happened. Now while police conceives possessions connected to the illegal activity, which is a known as civil asset forger, in this case, the missing money wasn't mentioned in the report or listed in inventory or placed into evidence because this took it to the strip club. The department is now reviewing the officer's other body camera footage to see if similar incidents have occurred. And the commissioner, Ricardo Moore told the local affiliate WXYZ Detroit that officers often fail to turn on their body cameras or shut them off during traffic stops. He said, I'm just happy this dumb. His camera actually worked.
C
Did he say that?
B
No, he said, I'm just happy that the body with one camera situation worked. More said, I've been lobbying because a lot of officers turn off the body worn cameras and this dude, four years on the streets protecting the great citizens of Detroit and all this time training and getting hired, going through the interview process and well, they're just dope dealers. She's not going to report $600 cash business because it's dope money. Yeah, jokes on you. You go enjoy your time being banned from the blue. And I have nothing else. Do you?
C
No.
B
And I'm Woody Overton.
C
I'm Cindy Overton.
B
We will holler at y' all later. Peace.
