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.

Teens nabbed after shooting lawyer with BB guns

Two teens learned that it isn’t good to shoot at Dr. Death!

Dr. Death, Michael J. Breczinski, an attorney, was walking to his car one night when he heard a loud pop and felt a sting on his neck. The 54 year old man turned to see smirking 14 and 15 year old teens hiding their hands.

When he asked the teens if they’d shot him with a BB gun the teens ran away. Unfortunately for the teens he gave chase and one of the teens pulled out a BB gun and shot at him again. Breczinski was hit in the arms and torso with pellets but he managed to tackle the teen in the parking lot.

The youth eventually struggled and got away from the Lawyer but both teens were later arrested by police in a nearby restaurant. The pair are expected to face felonious assault charges.

Breczinski who had to get a tetanus shot for the pellet wounds says the kids got off lucky. He’d taken target practice earlier in the day but he’d decided not to carry his .45 ruger with him to the mall. He says ther’s no guarantee he wouldn’t have known the teen had only pulled a BB gun and he might have pulled out his own weapon if he’d had it.

As if he needed the money

Get this … U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner who already happens to be a millionaire and is heir to the Kimberly-Clark fortune has been having a lucky streak.

Back in 1997 he hit it big when he purchased a ticket for the District of Columbia Lottery. He won $250,000. As if his millions and a lucky lottery win wasn’t enough, last spring he ended up winning $1000 in the Wisconsin lottery, then he won yet another $1000 in the same lottery a few days ago.

“I got lucky,” Sensenbrenner said.

Sensenbrenner, 64, was born into a family that helped build Kimberly-Clark Corp., maker of Kleenex tissue and Scott paper towels, and he recently reported a net worth of about $11.6 million. He said he spends about $10 a week on lottery tickets.
