Lottery winner gets attacked

A few months ago a 55 year old woman was about to go into the Virginia Lottery office to cash winning lottery tickets worth $10,000 when she was attacked.

The two men who attacked her are now behind bars. Blake Jordan and Kenneth Marshall, both 22, apparently attacked the woman with a hammer. They’ve been charged with maiming, attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.

One of the men is apparently a nephew of the 55 year old woman. Isn’t that cold blooded?

Keary Fox, 56, a lottery worker, first hear the woman scream at 1:10 pm so he ran outside and saw Jordan on top of the woman. He put Jordan in a headlock while a customer took the hammer out of his hand. The pair held him until police arrived. Marshall was arrested later in the day.

The woman suffered lacerations to the back of the head. Lucky for her that lottery worker came by when he did or she might have had worse injuries or perhaps even have been murdered.

Mugger apoligizes for pulling knife on wrong man

A would-be mugger ended up apologizing to his victim stating that he had the wrong guy.

The 36 year old man pulled a knife on a man who was unloading his groceries just outside of his home. This occurred in Fond du Lac.

The mugger asked for money and tried to punch the 27 year old man, however another man intervened by pulling the mugger away.

The suspect returned sometime later to apologize stating that he mistook the victim for someone else. He was arrested later that evening as he left a convenience store and held in the Fond du County jail on a charge of disorderly conduct and use of a dangerous weapon.

Can you imagine being attacked and then having the mugger come back and say sorry I though you were someone else? Strange!

Inmates conceal weapons in unusual and dangerous ways

It’s always interesting to hear what lengths some will go to, in order to break out of prison. Take the inmate at an El Salvador jail who was caught with a hand grenade stuffed up his backside. Novel idea indeed!

During a security clamp down guards at the San Francisco Gotera prison just outside the capital San Salvador found a V40 grenade, approximately the size of a golf ball, lodged inside the man’s rectum.

The search also revealed 16 other inmates who had each swallowed a mobile phone.

“We’ll have to expel the objects and if they won’t come out we’ll have to perform surgery in hospital,” said Alberto Uribe, a spokesman for the El Salvador prison service.

These inmates aren’t too bright are they? Neither are their visitors - read on.

Just last year prison guards caught a female visitor with an M67 grenade in her vagina. She was visiting an inmate in the overcrowded La Esperanza-Mariona prison on the northern fringes of San Salvador.

It’s common for prisoners in the Central American country to use weapons in attempted escapes or to attack fellow inmates and prison guards. Cellular phones are used to order free gang members to commit crimes or smuggle narcotics. They’re probably used to request that weapons be brought into the prison as well.
