0:03 Callaroga Shark Media. Good morning, I'm Red Carter. Thursday, November thirteenth, twenty twenty five. Some days we cover the trials, the courtrooms, the verdicts, the sentences, the legal process playing out the way it's supposed to. Other days, we just have to tell you about the crazy crimes happening out there, because sometimes the stories are too wild, too stupid, too terrifying to ignore. Today's one of those days. Florida eighteen year old runs over pedestrian's head repeatedly, back and forth, leaves the scene. Google's Ways to cover up a hit and run two hours later, smart enough to commit attempted murder, too stupid to know, Google saves everything. Pennsylvania twenty one year old entitled brat driving a one hundred and eighty six thousand dollars Mercedes g Wagon. Routine traffic stop, refuses to pull over him to hotel parking lot. He rams police cruiser. Officer gets out, kid accelerates directly at him.
1:07 Officer opens fire, Kid hits him anyway, then circles back and runs him over three more times while the cops on the ground bleeding hits another patrol car finally gets arrested his father, high powered attorney. His mugshot smiling and Houston. Since twenty seventeen, one hundred and eighty nine bodies pulled from the city's bayous, seventy five deaths marked unexplained, seventeen ruled homicides. Officials keep saying there's no serial killer, but almost two hundred bodies in eight years. Make it make sense. Plus Ditty update caught drinking homemade prison moonshine despite telling the judge he's been sober for the first time in twenty five years. Your tax dollars at work, I'm reed, Carter.
1:51 This is celebrity trials today. When Google searches become confessions, when privilege meets attempted murder, and when bodies keep piling up but no, but he's looking for patterns. Lock your doors. This is celebrity trials. Quick check in on Sean Dittycomb's We've covered his case extensively. July trial. Convicted of transportation for prostitution, Acquitted on the serious charges sex trafficking, racketeering, Sentenced to four years, currently serving time at Fort Dix, New Jersey. Remember during his trial did he repeatedly told the court he was sober first time in twenty five years, said prison gave him clarity, blamed substances for losing his way, wrote letters to the judge the old me died in jail and a new version of me was reborn. Prison will change you or kill you. I choose to live.
2:46 Said he'd gone through a spiritual reset, was committed to remaining drug free, nonviolent, peaceful, the whole redemption arc well TMZ reports did. He was caught last week drinking homemade prison moonshih Panta sugar and apples, left to ferment for weeks prison hooch Classic. Authorities considered moving him to a different facility, but decided against it, so he stays at Fort Dix, where he secured a job in the laundry department, making friends, holding court in the yard, apparently making moonshine on the side. This matters because Ditty's lawyers had asked the judge to transfer him to Fort Dix specifically for the drug treatment program. Said he needed to address substance abuse issues, that rehab would help reduce his sentence through good behavior credits, but if he's caught drinking prison alcohol, those privileges disappear. No early release, No good time credits, just straight time. Ditty's already served fourteen months of his fifty month sentence, set to be released May eighth, twenty twenty eight. But that assumes he stays clean, stays out of trouble, completes the treatment program, getting caught with prison Moonshine doesn't exactly scream committed to sobriety. Also, President Trump said, did he asked him for a pardon? Trump said he's considering it, but more likely a no, given Ditty's conviction was for prostitution, not the trafficking charges. Trump's previous comments that Ditty is sort of half innocent suggests he might
4:18 be sympathetic. But pardoning a guy who just got caught drinking in prison not a great look. So that's where Diddy is. Fort Dix, laundry duty, Moonshine, hoping for presidential pardon, living his best prison life. Now let's get to the real crimes. We'll be right back with the Florida teen who googled his way to an arrest warrant. September sixteenth, twenty twenty five, Monday night, eleven forty seven pm, Orange County, Florida, Intersection of Silver Star Road and Belcoe Drive, about five miles northwest of Orlando. Jarrell Noah Jones, eighteen years old, driving a silver Dodge Dart, his girlfriend in the front passenger seat, another male friend in the back, heading to McDonald's late night food run. They stopped at a red light.
5:22 An uber driver pulled up next to them, stopped in the left lane waiting for the light to change. A man crossed the street, heading northbound, passing between both vehicles, Anthony Fred Brown, thirty three years old, possibly asking for money, maybe just crossing the intersection, not threatening anyone, just walking. Jones honked his horn multiple times. Brown kept walking, didn't move faster, didn't acknowledge the honking, just kept crossing. Jones turned his wheels to the left toward Brown, accelerated the Dodge Dart, knocked Brown over the front left wheel, went over his body. Then Jones put the car in reverse, backed over Brown's head, then put it in drive, drove forward over Brown's head again, then reversed over his head a third time. The uber driver watched the entire thing, couldn't believe what she was seeing. Jones then sped off westbound at high speed. The uber driver called nine to one one. Immediately, first responders arrived found Anthony Brown on the pavement, life threatening head injuries, fractured skull, multiple brain bleeds, unable to speak. Transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center emergency surgery.
6:36 Survived barely. Brown's injuries left him with altered mental status, memory loss, brain damage. When detectives tried to interview him weeks later, he couldn't remember the incident, couldn't identify his attacker. Medical staff said the trauma was severe, permanent cognitive impairment likely. The uber driver gave a full statement, detailed description of what happened, license plate number, make and model, everything investigators needed. Traffic cameras captured the Dodge Dart. Footage showed the vehicle stopping at a parking lot. Shortly after two men got out, one of them, Jones, went into a business. Police obtained search warrant for the vehicle. September thirtieth, two weeks after the attack, police executed traffic stop found the Dodge Dart.
7:26 Gerald Jones was driving, same girlfriend in front seat, same mail friend in back seat. Police questioned all three. The male passenger said they were on the way to McDonald's when an unknown black mail approached the vehicle and started yelling. Then the passenger said he blacked out and didn't remember anything until they arrived back at Jones's residence. Convenient memory loss. The girlfriend told a different story, said Jones honked at the man several times, drove forward, and the man fell over. She believed Jones did it intentionally. When she asked why, Jones told her I thought he had something, thought he had something, a weapon, presumably, except witnesses said Brown was just crossing the street, possibly asking for money, No weapon visible, no threatening behavior. Jones just decided this man crossing the intersection was a threat and needed to be run over.
8:22 Multiple times, The girlfriend said, Jones backed up to see if he ran over the man, then turned right and drove off. Nobody in the car called nine to one one. Nobody reported it. They went home, went to bed, acted like nothing happened. Police executed search warrant on the phone of the mail passenger, the one who claimed he blacked out. Found a Google search at one thirty am on September seventeenth, less than two hours after the attack. Search query ways to cover up a hit and run. All text message conversations from the time of the incident were deleted deliberate destruction of evidence. When police interviewed Jones, he denied everything.
9:05 Said he remembered going to Foodlatto that night, denied seeing any victim, denied any involvement in hitting anybody, straight up lied, despite three witnesses, traffic camera footage, and his girlfriend's statement. November eleventh, twenty twenty five, two months after the attack, Jirell Noah Jones arrested, charged with attempted second degree murder, held without bond, arraigned, public defender appointed. Preliminary hearing scheduled. Jones has no prior criminal record, clean background, eighteen years old, first offense attempted murder. If convicted, facing decades in prison. Florida doesn't play with attempted murder charges, especially when there's video evidence. Multiple witnesses, Google searches about covering it up and deleted text messages smart enough to plan ahead, had his friend google how to cover up the crime, too stupid to realize. Police can retrieve search histories, can recover deleted texts, can pull traffic camera footage, can interview witnesses.
10:07 Anthony Fred Brown is thirty three years old, survived fractured skull and brain bleeds, but his cognitive function is permanently altered, memory issues, speech difficulties, medical condition going forward unknown, may never fully recover. All because he crossed the street in front of the wrong Eighteen year old Gerald Jones is in Orange County Jail, no bond, facing life altering prison sentence. All because he thought running over a pedestrian's head multiple times was an appropriate response to being mildly inconvenienced at a red light. Make it make sense. October twenty fourth, twenty twenty five, Friday morning, Plymouth Township, Pennsylvania, just outside Philadelphia.
10:53 Dalton Lee Janechek, twenty one years old, student at Loyola Marymount University. Member of the rowing team, previously captain of LaSalle College High School crew team. Six foot two athletic, seasoned competitor, lives with his parents in a one point four million dollar home in Ambler. His father, Lee Janichek, is a partner at Lewis Brisbois, LLC, high powered attorney representing corporations and insurance companies. Dalton was driving his white Mercedes g Wagon luxury suv costs up to one hundred eighty six thousand dollars driving erratically, speeding, crossing concrete medians.
11:33 Multiple police departments had recent interactions with him and his vehicle. Eleven fifty six, a m. Whitpain Township police sergeant attempted to pull Janichek over routine traffic stop. Instead of pulling over, Janichek sped away, crossed the median on Skippack Pike, fled at high speed. Police didn't pursue too dangerous, but they reported the vehicle to neighboring departments. That same morning, police had received information that Janichek threatened to blow up a police department in Chester County. Whitpain Township officers were already familiar with Janichek, had dealt with him multiple times in recent days careless driving, speeding, unregistered vehicle, refusing to stop for traffic violations. Twelve thirty nine pm, Plymouth Township police officer responded to the Double Tree Guest Suites hotel in Plymouth, meeting six forty Fountain Road. The Mercedes G Wagon had been spotted in the parking lot. Officer pulled in behind the g Wagon activated emergency lights, standard procedure, expecting Janichek to comply. Instead, Janichek put the car in reverse, rammed the patrol vehicle multiple times, pushing it back, hitting it repeatedly.
12:45 The officer exited his vehicle, pulled his weapon, ordered Janichek to stop, show his hands, get out of the car. Guinea Check accelerated directly at the officer, trying to hit him. The officer fired his weapon at least five shots at the g wagon. Janichek didn't stop, accelerated again, struck the officer, knocked him to the ground. The officer fell hit the pavement, severe leg wound started bleeding. As the officer lay on the ground trying to apply a tourniquet to his leg. Janichek circled back around the parking lot, drove straight at him again, ran him over a second time, then a third time, then a fourth time. The officer was struck four times total, once while standing, three more times while lying on the ground bleeding, attempting to save his own life with a tournique. While this entitled bratt kept circling back to run him over. Bystander captured the whole thing on video posted it to TikTok over two million views.
13:44 Shows the Mercedes ramming the patrol car officer getting out, ordering Janichek to stop, Janichek accelerating at him, officer firing, Janichek, hitting him, then coming back to hit him again. While he's down. Janichek fled westbound. Other Plymouth Township officers responded, pursued the g wagon. Jenichek turned onto Walton Road, continued driving erratically. He drove directly toward an unmarked police vehicle, struck it head on, then struck another marked Plymouth Township patrol vehicle head on. A sergeant was inside the collision, injured the second officer. Finally, Janichek's vehicle was disabled. Officers swarmed apprehended him. He had a gray's wound to the head from the officer's gunfire, not serious. Taken to Abington Hospital, treated, cleared, transported to Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Both injured officers were transported to hospitals. The first officer, the one run over four times, underwent emergency surgery, multiple surgeries, severe leg injuries.
14:45 Both officers stable condition, but traumatized, physically damaged, career altering injuries. While being taken into custody, still in handcuffs, Janichek allegedly told officers put me in the car, or I will kill you. Charged with attempted murder of a law enforcement officer, aggravated assault, fleeing or attempting to elude police, multiple felonies. October twenty fifth, arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Thomas P. Mert. Denied bail, Held without bond at Montgomery County Correctional Facility. Preliminary hearings scheduled November fourth. Janichek's father, Lee Janichek, declined to comment. No statement, no defense. High powered attorney representing major corporations, but can't defend his own son running over police officers with an eighteen thousand, six hundred dollars SUV.
15:40 Here's the thing. Dalton Janichek had every advantage, wealthy family, private high school, college education, athletic accolades, team captain, no criminal history, everything going for him. One routine traffic stop, one moment of refusing to pull over, and now he's facing attempted charges, decades in prison, career, destroyed, reputation, destroyed, family, humiliated, all because he thought he was above the law. Thought he could flee from police, thought he could ram patrol cars, thought he could run over an officer four times and get away with it. The video tells the story officer doing his job, Janicheck accelerating at him, officer firing in self defense, Janicheck running him down anyway, then coming back and back and back, trying to kill a cop who was just enforcing a traffic violation. And the mugshot Janicheck smiling, smirking like this is all a joke, Like daddy's money, We'll fix it, Like attempted murder of a police officer is no big deal. It's a big deal. Pennsylvania doesn't play with cop killers. Attempted murder of law enforcement carries serious time. And Janichek didn't just attempt at once. He ran the officer over four times. That's not panic, that's not fear. That's attempted execution. Make it make sense. Twenty one years old, rowing team captain, college student from a million dollar home, and now he's in prison for trying to murder police officers with his luxury SUV. Your tax
17:11 dollars at work. Houston, Texas. Since twenty seventeen, one hundred eighty nine bodies have been pulled from the city's Bayous Let that sink in one hundred eighty nine corpses in eight years from swampy waterways running through Houston. Of those deaths, seventeen classified as murders, seventy five marked unexplained. Thirty nine percent have undetermined causes, twenty four percent ruled accidental drowning, thirteen percent suicides, six percent accidents other than drowning, five percent still pending autopsy results, four percent natural causes. Most common age of decedents thirty to thirty nine years old.
18:01 A quarter of all bodies fit that demographic. Eighty seven bodies total were between eighteen and thirty nine. The most recent spike September twenty twenty five, five bodies were covered in five days. Jade Elise McKissick, twenty years old, University of Houston student, last seen leaving a bar to get a drink at a gas station, left her phone behind, found in brazed by U September fifteenth. No signs of trauma or foul play. Ar Nulfo Alvarado death ruled accidental drowning mixed with methamphetamine effects. Only one of the five September deaths with a determined cause, the other three still undetermined, still under investigation. Still unexplained. So far. In twenty twenty five, twenty seven bodies pulled from Houston BYU's twenty seven. It's only November. We're not even done with the year. Buffalo By You. The stretch running through downtown Houston near Buffalo byou Park has been the most common discovery site twenty one bodies since twenty seventeen. The Eastwood and Lawndale Wayside neighborhoods seventeen bodies. East Downtown near Navigation Boulevard sixteen bodies.
19:15 Houston Mayor John Whitmyer and police officials keep insisting there's no serial killer. Enough is enough of wild speculation. Whitmire said at a September press conference, there is no evidence that there is a serial killer loose on the streets of Houston. Whitmyer blames homelessness and drug abuse. Says homeless people die and end up in bayous. Says it's a tragic consequence of the addiction crisis. But Joseph Jackaloney, retired NYPD sergeant and criminal justice professor at Penn State Lehigh Valley, isn't buying it. That's definitely worthy of further investigation. Just the sheer number of cases, the fact that a few of them could be connected. I think the percentage of something being connected at least one or two of them is pretty high. He urged Houston investigators to explore companion cases or dare I say patterns among the deaths. Private investigator Coleman Ryan is working the case of Kenneth Cutting Junior, twenty two, found dead in Buffalo by You downtown Houston last year. Ryan told Fox News, they're saying they don't have a serial killer, but I'm not sure. Maybe their objective isn't sexual assault, it's not robbery, but they're just throwing people in the by you. Kenneth Cutting Junior wasn't homeless, wasn't a drug addict, just a twenty two year old whose body ended up in the water. Cause of death undetermined.
20:41 His autopsy report contained a clerical error. A portion of his report was from another person's case, different body, wrong information. The medical examiner admitted the mistake but said it had no impact on the findings. Cutting's family doesn't believe that. They're demanding police read open the investigation. Jade McKissick wasn't homeless either. University student, young, promising future her death is unexplained, no trauma, no foul play. She just ended up dead in Braised Bayou. The Houston Police Department and Mayor's office declined to comment on the new data, referred media to previous statements no serial killer, just homelessness and drugs. But Giacaloni slammed the mayor's response as mind boggling, said many of the publicly known cases have nothing to do with the homeless population. Here's the reality. Houston has two five hundred miles of bayous winding waterways throughout the city, prime dumping grounds. Bodies sink, decompose surface months later, hard to determine cause of death, easy to dismiss as drowning or drugs or suicide. But one hundred eighty nine bodies in eight years, seventy five unexplained deaths, seventeen homicides, and officials say there's no pattern. Jackaloni's rule, every death should be treated as if it's suspicious until proven otherwise. Houston isn't
22:11 following that rule. They're dismissing deaths as homeless tragedy, as drug overdoses, as accidents without proper investigation, without looking for connections, without considering that maybe, just maybe someone is targeting people and dumping them in byous. Serial Killers don't always fit the Hollywood profile, don't always leave calling cards, don't always have sexual or robbery motives. Sometimes they just kill, dump bodies, move on, and if police aren't looking for patterns, they never get caught. Houston's Buyous are a body graveyard, and nobody's asking why make it make sense? That's celebrity trials for Thursday, November thirteenth, twenty twenty five. Gerald Jones ran over a pedestrian's head repeatedly, then googled ways to cover up a hit and run. Smart enough to commit a tempted murder, too stupid to clear his search history. Eighteen years old, no prior record, facing decades in prison. Dalton Janachek ran over a police officer four times with his Mercedes g Wagon, three of those times while the cop was bleeding on the ground, then smirked in his mugshot twenty one years old. Wealthy family lawyer, father held without bond facing attempted murder of law enforcement. And Houston's pulled one hundred and eighty nine bodies from Bayous since twenty seventeen.
23:34 Seventy five deaths unexplained. Officials say, no serial killer, but nobody's looking for patterns either. Some days we cover trials, some days we just have to tell you what's happening out there. And what's happening is people are losing their minds, running over pedestrians for crossing the street, running over cops for doing their jobs, Bodies piling up in waterways with no answers, churches are forever. Privilege doesn't protect you from attempted murder charges, and sometimes one hundred and eighty nine bodies in eight years means something more than homelessness and drugs. Lock your doors, clear your browser history, and if you see something suspicious, say something, because law enforcement isn't always looking.
24:18 I'm read Carter. Tomorrow, we're back with more. This is Celebrity Trials.
