Now here’s a story with a complicated twist!
This past July in Orlando, Brittany Ossenfort complained that it was not she who had been jailed recently on a prostitution charge, that the arrestee claiming to be her was Richard Phillips, who had befriended Ossenfort last year (while pretending to be a woman) and had become her roommate, but who with the passage of time began dressing and acting like her until Ossenfort finally discovered “she” was a man.
This was of course after which Phillips allegedly stole Ossenfort’s financial identity.
Ossenfort admitted to being completely fooled by Phillips: “He acted like a girl, talked like a girl, looks like a girl. He doesn’t even have an Adam’s apple.”
Eric Cunningham, 18, or Orlando Florida isn’t the brightest criminal on the planet. He was arrest and charged with robbing a Hess gas station at gun point in Orlando in April.
He got caught because he forgot to take his gun case with him when he fled the store. Inside the gun case was a receipt for his gun with his name listed on it.
Then we have yet another winner for the dumbest criminal awards … Jazrahel King, 29, was arrested in April in Norwalk Conn. when he tried to trade in the jeep that he’d allegedly stolen from the same Wholesalers of America dealership that he’d appropriated the vehicle from in the first place. He was trying to trade the jeep in for a larger vehicle.
Jazrahel King hadn’t even taken a moment to think about the fact that the dealership would have the cars vin number on record, or the fact that the jeep still had the dealerships temporary plates on it.
Doug Guetzloe, one of central Florida’s most prominent political operatives and subject of investigations by the Florida Elections Commission and a highway agency in Orlando, had long eluded criminal charges by denying any knowledge of unethical activities in which prosecutors were sure he was involved.
But late last year, Guetzloe missed a payment on his rental storage locker, and 50 boxes of his personal and professional records were seized and auctioned for $10 to a curious citizen, who then gave them to Orlando’s WKMG-TV, which had several earlier investigations of Guetzloe pending.
Based on early readings of the storage-locker papers, Guetzloe was indicted for felony perjury in March, and the case continues.
One of the blogging companies that I do a fair amount of work for is holding it’s first ever blogging conference in just a few months. PostieCon 07 is touted as being the largest gathering of bloggers from around the world.
PostieCon is using the theme “You’re a Rock Star” for this event because it believes that bloggers and Internet personalities are an important part of this information age, and that any blogger, big or small, could become a “rock star” in the world of bloggers.
