Crime Wire Weekly #1 (Pilot) | Louisiana Officer Killed Serving Warrant, Jennifer Aniston Stalker Arrested, TikTok’s Ding Dong Ditch Murder

0:11 In Louisiana, an officer is killed by friendly fire while attempting to serve a search warrant. In Texas, an arrest has been made after a man asked a ten year old girl to move his truck, resulting in the death of a six year old. And in O'calli, Florida, a woman is arrested after perfume bottles become deadly weapons in a domestic dispute. These stories and more coming at you today Friday, May Night on the Crime Wire, And I'm Jim Chapman and I'm Kelly Jennings. Kay, Jay, we have got some headlines to go over today.

0:52 Things are getting wild. It's been wild in the crime world. And we're going to start off in rain, Louisiana, a dea where Rain I do, I actually do tell these listeners around where it's at. It's that roughly, So it's gonna be a past Lifayette, yeah, and it's going to be before Lake Charles. Cajun country. Yeah. A lot of crawfish in that area and a lot of names that are Cajun, like the ones we're going to talk about today. I was going to say, because boudreauz in my family and Thibodeaux as well, but also that exit. I believe when you go off the interstate has frogs painted on it. I could be wrong, but I think it's a bunch of frogs that are painted on that. Exit there you go. So if you're in the Rain area, look for frogs. But we have kind of a serious story here, well, definitely a serious story. A Rain Police lieutenant was killed in the line of duty while executing a search warrant tied to a stabbing. Lieutenant Alan Noucci Crador, who is forty eight, was fatally shot by friendly fire at one twenty seven pm on May fifth, as officers attempted located suspect involved in a stabbing incident. This, according to the Rain Police Department, despite efforts to provide immediate medical aid, Crador did die at the scene. This is a devastating accident that has shaken the entire department in community.

2:18 That from the police Chief Carol Stelly. Now. Crater began his career with Rain as a reserve officer. This was in December of two thousand and three, and he became full time in two thousand and five. Over the next twenty years, he became known not just for his police work, but also for his deep involvement in youth programs in community outreach. In twenty fourteen, he stepped into the role of a DARE officer. There, he mentored local students, he worked to strengthen the department's connection with Rain's youth, and he also volunteered extensively with youth athletics, coaching and guiding young people on and off duty. The chief also went on to say that Lieutenant Crater was more than an officer.

3:05 He was a brother, a friend, and a role model. He served with pride, humility, an unmatched sense of duty, and he had a special way of connecting with people, especially young people, which you'll see a lot with these DARE officers. Crador is survived by his fiance, Danielle Demet, and his brother, Sergeant Joseph Crador, who actually works at the same department. The Louisiana State Police is conducting an investigation into the shooting. But Kelly, how does this happen? Well, I haven't seen any you know, obviously, it's brand news, so I haven't seen any anybody camera footage or anything like that. So I really don't logistically know what happened.

3:47 But considering they said it was you know, friendly fire warrant executions are dangerous in none of themselves, so I would assume that the presence that was there to begin with, you know, he's not alone, he's going to be with as I'm assuming. Again, I have not seen body camera or anything like that, but I'm just guessing it was one of those reactions to something that happened, and it was just, you know, probably a gut instinct reaction to draw the weapon into fire, and they missed each other somehow Tactically. I'm not sure honestly what happened. They could have been in each other's triangulation, and of course we're just speculating. We don't know, just a horrible accident. Obviously, they're gonna investigate this through the Louisiana State Police. And I'm not saying, of course, this guy didn't intend to do this, and I'm sure nobody out there outside of the family feels worse than he does.

4:37 There's not gonna be charges. I'm gonna go out in a lemon say that because he's working well within the capacity of what he was supposed to be doing. He had a reason to be there, he had a right to be there. He was responding, like I said, to something he was assigned to go respond to whomever this officer was. First of all, I want to say this absolute condolence is to this officer's fiance and to his brother, because undoubtedly this is all over the news, and this has rocked their worlds, and this is something that nobody ever wants or expects to happen. And so just my hat's off to them for everything that they're gonna have to go through right now. The officer that pulled the trigger, I'm sure will be devastated for the rest of his life.

5:18 I seriously doubt, based on what we know now, that there were any ill intentions whatsoever. I think it's going to be someone zigged and somebody' zagged and it just kind of is what it is. I'm sure that that officer probably ran and rendered aid immediately upon realizing what happened, or somebody rendered aid, and I don't I'm gonna say, I do not believe charges would be filed based on what I know right now, because there's no intent for there to be shots fired. I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that they were reacting to something that occurred already. I just think this is going to be a tragedy. Let's say this. We can all agree that, you know, let's pray for everybody involved and hope that what ever happens, that there's some sort of moving forward and there's no.

6:05 Hatred amen to that. All right, Let's go over to Virginia, where a homeowner was charged with murder after shooting a high school team during an attempted break in. According to the sheriff, two surviving teens say they were filming a TikTok for a ding Dong ditch prank. A Virginia man was charged with murder after authority say he shot a high school team that he believed was trying to break into his house, though the surviving teens claimed they were filming a ding dong ditch prank for TikTok. Tyler Chase Butler, twenty seven years old, was charged with second degree murder in the shooting death of eighteen year old Michael Bosworth Junior. Butler also faces charges of malicious wounding and two counts of use of a firearm in commission of a felony. Legal experts say that the case will rest on whether Butler used the right amount of force and if he reasonably believed his life was an imminent danger. The individual facts are really going to shed light on. Are the charges against mister Butler valid or unjust? Jessica Leadingham, a federal litigator and criminal defense attorney, said, adding that the charges would make sense if the teens were outside his home, where they are less likely to be perceived as a threat.

7:11 Deputies responded around three am Saturday to a call for a residential burglary in progress where a resident had fired shots, and found Bosworth and another team with gunshot wounds. A third teen was found unharmed. Bosworth died of his injuries at the hospital, while the other injured teen was treated for minor injuries and released. Both surviving teens are juveniles and were not named publicly. The surviving teens told investigators they were recording themselves during a ding dong ditch as part of a TikTok challenge. One of Butler's neighbors shared home surveillance footage that shows that the teens went up to Butler's home and were not only ringing the doorbell, but banging, kicking, and slamming on a garage door, Yeah, that's going to be a problem for me. But Jamie E. Wright, a Los Angeles trial attorney and founder of the Right Law firm, said that stand your ground or castle doctrine law vary in each state, though most don't give blanket permission to use lethal force simply to protect property. Based on what's been reported, shooting at teenagers involved in a prank, even on one as reckless as late night ding Dong Ditch is unlikely to meet that legal standard. Right said.

8:17 Social media challenges like this can certainly escalate tensions and lead to tragic misunderstandings, but they don't typically create a legal justification for deadly self defense. Madeline Somerville, a national trial attorney and legal analyst, said the castle doctrine laws allow for use of deadly force to prevent an aggressor from entering your home if the homeowner truly believes their life is in danger. Every case is different, however, and the applicability of the castle doctrine in this case will rest upon whether the defendant truly believed he was an imminent danger of bodily harm or death. Somerville said, So I'm gonna start here that it's obviously improper and inappropriate at three o'clock in the morning to be banging on someone's house door, beating, ringing the doorbell, whatever. Because as a parent, if I heard that, I am not saying I would go shoot somebody. Okay, but you're banging down my garage door or you're ringing my doorbell and my three children are in my home, my alarm, internal alarm is going to be off the chart.

9:20 I mean, I would certainly have been armed when I went out there. Now, this guy screwed, and I'll tell you, I'll tell you why. He used way too much force. I would have went to that door, probably armed, and maybe would have even brandished a weapon, say you know, get out of my yard. The problem here is, and this is pretty much the law in every state to my knowledge, if they're not in your house, you can't just start shooting people. These kids were playing a prank. I've done it. I didn't do it at three o'clock in the morning. I didn't take it to that level, but I've certainly when I was a kid on somebody's door and ran Now it was like four o'clock in the afternoon, that's.

10:03 Ding dong ditch. I have a few questions here if we're just gonna look at this from yeah, they've never ditch. And then okay, and this is the thing. I don't know this homeowner, right, I don't know anything about this homeowner. But let's go through some what ifs. Okay, what if this homeowner? What if Tyler Chase Butler twenty seven And again I don't know anything, but what if he was military? And what if he had just come back in. I'm just saying it's a it's a mitigating circumstance that he could bring up. What if he had some type of PTSD and he went off the rails. Now, should you be shooting people? Absolutely not. And I'm not I'm not putting this and said killed yeah, yeah, And I don't want to make this seem like, oh, you know because I said military. So but what if what if? We don't know? What if what if his house had been broken into the week prior and he thought it was somebody coming back. We don't know all of the details here. However, I completely agree with you that this was an excessive use of force. They did not break entry, they did not come through the garage. He could have dialed nine when one, which I think would have been more reasonable.

10:59 I don't know if he did or not. It doesn't say that here there's there could have been a million other things that could have been done that would have been I think a better decision than using lethal force. But I would be interested to know how long were they there banging on the doors. Did something possibly happen prior to this that made him feel like this was escalated? What if there was something going on in his personal life and someone said that they were out to get him. I mean, you don't know, you really don't. You don't I know, being true, Yeah, he's still going to jail. He is. Yeah, birth you know, we had a local case like this where someone I don't remember if they wrecked or the car broke down or whatever, but they went up to the door and knocked. It was in the middle of the night, and the homeowner shot through the door and killed that person. And the homeowner was saying how afraid they were, and they thought that it was someone trying to break in. But the problem becomes but they knocked on the door, They didn't break in.

11:55 Simply knocking on a door does not justify that level of alarm, because if that was the case, then anyone who knocked on your door, you could just shoot them. You know that. It doesn't meet that muster. Now, the time of night is interesting to me. It's the middle of the night. I would have been totally alarmed. I absolutely would have been armed, But I don't see me pulling a trigger through an unbreached doorway, you know, I just don't think that was the right move. Sadly, the teenager that was killed was a star athlete at that high school, and this this in their mind and all these kids, they weren't juvenile delinquents. These were, according to all reports, good kids that we're doing this just for TikTok views.

12:39 But he's also eighteen years old, and I know, I know, I think at eighteen you should know better than to go banging on doors at three o'clock in the mom. Well, we saw a lot of things I did at eighteen. But yeah, well I'm not saying much my mama might hear. But sad, this is sad for this this kid's teens family, and our hearts and prayers go out to them for sure. One percent. You know, one more thing, I'll add to that too, is And I'm not taking up for the homeowner. I'm just trying to say, hey, you don't know. I am curious to what they were wearing. Yeah, it was a dark clothing. We did have masks. Yeah, I been mentioned that. I would have thought out it would yeah if they did. But uh, we'll keep everybody updated if something comes out on that. Let's go to California.

13:32 And you mentioned frogs earlier and this this relates to a man known as Frog. Wen So, a California man known as Frog is facing charges on accusations that he sold fentanyl disguised as cocaine that left four friends friends friends, Yeah, let me say that again dead at a super Bowl party. Frog, whose real name as Timothy Panell, was arrested in charge with felony distribution of fentanyl on February eleventh of twenty twenty four. That ought to spring somebody's mind as well.

14:13 He just got arrested. This happened last year. Over a year ago, a group of five friends gathered at a South Lake Tahoe home to for a Super Bowl party. As the evening went on, the friends started to take what they thought was cocaine I mean. They thought they were doing uppers in they. By morning, four of them were dead. According to the DA's office, When Pinell allegedly realized that he supplied the friend group with fentanyl, he made multiple attempts to warn them, The investigation found he called them at least seventeen times and drove to the neighborhood. So apparently he found this out after the fact, and he had already left, and he was calling him saying, don't don't do the cocaine.

14:57 It's got fentanyl. So he wasn't at the party. He drove. I think he brought them the cocaine and then left. You're responsible, bro. Obviously he was too late. About nine am on February twelfth, South Lake Tahoe Police Beautiful Area by the Way received a nine to one one call reporting multiple overdoses at the home, and officers found four people dead. Two of their bodies were found by the couch, a third in the kitchen, and a fourth in the upstairs bedroom. A fifth unnamed person was taken to a hospital. That person survived. Quote they were flat out poisoned and murdered. That from the mother of two of the victims, Katrina Joy, was there that night. She's the wife of Clifford, but she didn't take any supposed cocaine. She fell asleep before they bought the drugs and were called. Waking up the next morning found all these people dead. She attempted CPR, and her husband instructed other survivors at this part. Apparently it was a big party to do CPR on a different victim called nine one one, et cetera. But he is in a shit pile of trouble, to say the least.

16:11 And this man right here, regardless of the knowledge of this being fentanyl, doesn't make a difference. No, it doesn't matter. You're going to jail for the rest of your life. Guz, Listen here, That's what I think. Listen here as someone who's lost a friend to fentanyl. And my friend had her struggles, and there's no doubt about that, but she didn't deserve to die. What she got she did not think was fentanyl, and it killed her. And I don't give a damn what you think you're selling somebody. How about you stopped selling this shit? How about you just say no? And the other thing is this to me, I'm more inclined to believe this cat was just trying to turn a dime. He got the money, and then he called him and said, oh wait, never mind, don't use that. That's got fentanyl in him. I'm not seeing this big moral turn. What'd you do? You called the person you got it from and said, oh what they called you and said, never mind, that's fentanyl. Like what could have possibly happened there?

17:04 Yeah, that's a good question. They did trace his calls and see that he called them seventeen times. I don't care. You should have went right back to where you sold it. Knock on the door, kick it down, go ahead and call somebody, get help and route. I don't give a damn if you really cared that much, I'm so serious right now, being so for real. If you cared that much those seventeen calls, I'm gonna be curious about the timeline of those seventeen calls. Now you wanted to make that money, I don't give a shit what you thought you were selling them, because you shouldn't have been selling anything in the first place, right And when people die as a result of it, I'm not victim blaming right now, because they wouldn't have had it had there not been a supplier. So call your mama, tell her put some money in your books, because's about all you're getting. All right. Now, let's roll over to Texas. Texas, Texas, All right now, Texas, I do too. My sister livesn't it.

18:00 Shout out all right in Texas. Texas is a place. Okay, the add is wild'n out right now. All right. So this is the reality though, of what happened in Texas. A man is accused of telling his ten year old to drive his pickup truck, resulting in a crash that killed a six year old wow. A man in Texas has been arrested after he allegedly told a ten year old girl to drive his pickup truck, which resulted in the death of a six year old boy that Angelina County Sheriff's Office arrested Clinton Earl Johnson Junior, thirty one years old. The crash happened on Sunday, According to an affidavit.

18:41 A an arrest affidavit, Johnson told a ten year old girl to move his Nissan Titan pickup truck after she complained that the vehicle was in her way while riding a tricycle. As the girl was moving the truck, she lost control and accidentally drove it into the porch, hitting a six year old boy, and he later died at a hospital. The boy who was killed in the crash was Johnson's step son. The boy's mother told investigators that her son was sitting on the porch using her phone while Johnson was grilling. She said that the ten year old girl was riding a tricycle and said the pickup truck was in her way. The woman said Johnson told her told the girl to scoot it up. According to the affidavit, Johnson said the girl had driven the pickup truck on back roads before. The investigator reported the smell of alcohol from the mother and Johnson, and they both said they had three or four drinks, which I'm going to tell you right now, I meant they had five to seven right while each while grilling. According to the affidavit, Johnson is charged with state jail felony criminally negligent homicide.

19:40 That's a lot wow. Yeah. Where He was held on a three thousand dollars bond until he bonded out Wednesday. This much, I can tell you. Ignorance has no. Bounds, No, and I have had a few drinks in my day, and I've been growing and they had a few drinks in my day. And never when I've been growing and having a few drinks and I needed a car move that I think about giving my ten year old the keys. Never once, did you notice? They said he drove on back raids before you got your ten year old she Yeah, you got your ten year old daughter driving on back roads, you know, all right now?

20:21 Ten years old? You know? And I know back in the twenties and thirties they used to put them on tractors and maybe some people in the eighties. You know, there's probably some people listening right now, I used to drive it ten Well, I ain't giving no ten year old in this generation keys to a car. Well, no, I barely gave my seventeen year old kids to here move my truck. I couldn't imagine. Never have I even had that thought. I don't know what he was thinking. I don't know if maybe she had moved the cars before in the past, and he thought that this would be no different. I don't know. I mean, I am with a six year old even in the vicinity man, right, Yeah, it's just so often.

21:02 Yeah, that was bad that was a bad move. Now, did he have any intent or think that that was going to happen? Obviously not. But you still have a responsibility as the adult and as someone who knew that this was a child you know that should not be driving a vehican. It's definitely negligent homicide. I mean, I can see him be. You can't hold the ten year old responsible, obviously, so that the parent. Had the parent note handed those keys over, that wouldn't happened. That's the bottom line. That's how Jerry's going to look at that, or how a prosecutor is going to prosecute that case. I wonder why mom didn't intervene and say no, don't do that. She was as drunk as he was. It sounds like they both admitted to Haven like you saying you're right if they said three to four, it was seven to ten. Yeah, you know how that goes. So and a tragedy and of course we're not making fun of that, but a stupid dumb ass decision here, And I'm I would hope that nobody feels that more than they do. Right now.

22:04 I can't even say, well, I can kind of understand, I don't know. I don't ten years old? Is fifth grade? Man? Fifth grade? And you got a six year old running around? Yeah? That was That was a bad move there. Yeah, that was pretty bad. All right, Well, let's lighten it up a little bit. kJ We're gonna go to Florida. I love Florida. We're not going to the beach though, Well I don't know. Is o'kalla Beecherry? No, that's more like Orlando Disney area. Okay, Well, we're gonna go to o'calla, Florida. And I'm gonna tell you about a twenty one year old who she used an interesting weapon in a domestic dispute. So she gets arrested, and this is after she allegedly threw perfume bottles at another woman during that dispute. Her name is Eliah Marie Burton Watson. And let me tell you before I go any further. I've read that name, and I'm like, why does she have four name? Why do you use four names?

23:01 Is it hyphenated? Yes? Is this till Eliah Marie Burton Watson, And the Burton Watson is hyphenated, So I guess Marie's her middle name and her last name is Burton hyphen Watson. Well, Burton's probably her maiden name, and then Watson's probably her married name. Probably, but I mean, I don't know. Can you hyphenate you're married? And yeah, okay, well maybe it look whatever four names. She was charged with simple domestic battery after the incident. It happened on four pm last Monday at her residence, and the victim actually lived at the same residence she did. The victim told the Marion County Sheriff's deputy that Burton Watson threw the bottles at her, pulled her hair and pushed her.

23:45 Wait, this is a domestic Are they lovers? They don't say that. It could be sisters. I mean, don't say. Well, I'm just I mean maybe. They were, because it looks to me now like she left her husband a divorce and now she got with a woman. That's what I'm trying to figure out. What if it's her sister in a roommate, Well. Then where's her husband? If her name is hyphenated, I'll let you know. If they're lovers, I have no idea. But Burton Watson did admit to pushing the victim. She did not admit to throwing perfume bottles and pulling her hair, and she was determined by the sheriff that responded to the scene as the primary aggressor placed under a rust she was taking to jail. And get this, she does get released on bond. You want to hear her bond amount? One? Yeah, one hundred and fifty bucks. Well, you bond amount? Is that?

24:32 I guess you only got to make ten percent of that? Yeah, if you don't have one hundred. And fifty bucks, you call a bail bondsman. And what is ten percent of fifteen bucks? Yeah? I think I think that's what I'm gonna. Need, fifteen bucks if you bail me out. First of all, what person they won't do? Hundred perfume? Did she throw? Because perfume's expensive? Right, Okay? And so I feel like that's a waste right there of resources. But second, and then she pulled her hair. You pulled my hair. I must shove that bottle of perfume up your eads? My Yeah, extensions though maybe maybe, And I. Know those are expensive. My daughters get my.

25:14 Hair is so nappy and curly, and if I put extensions in love, I'd have a one big dread in the back. Well, she's doing court August fourth in Marion County, so we'll keep we'll keep you updated on if she gets any jail time for this. But the one hundred and fifty dollars bond really threw me for a late. That's kind of say it was a simple domestic battery. I don't know there was such a I didn't know it could be simple. Yeah, I guess that's a misdemeanor, domeistic battery. Well, so what I'm what they call misdemeanors. Well, so what I'm saying here, though, is that's why the bond is so low, because they're kind of like, you were being dumb and it was bad enough that we need to slap you on the wrist. But you can go back home. Yeah, right, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, I just I don't think I've ever seen a bond that I'm sure they I mean, obviously, but.

25:58 Keep your perfume on a jam counter right All right, now, this one's actually sad. Okay, I'm taking this one personal because you know, I'm an animal lover. Oh God, I call you the bird. Listen. I love me some animals. So now we're gonna go to organ where a seal pup was stabbed multiple times and NOAH is seeking to track down a person of interest. An elephant seal pup suffered multiple stab wounds in an attack at an organ beach, prompting the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to launch a search for a person of interest. The Noah's Office of Law Enforcement said this week that the incident happened on March sixteenth in Niscowen, Organ.

26:42 I believe it's how you would say that, along a stretch of shoreline in front of the proposal Rock condominiums. While the young elephant seal survived, it sustained multiple stab wounds. The Marine stranding team monitored and evaluated the animal before relocating it. The agency released a sketch of a person of interest to scribebed as a white male approximately five foot ten inches tall, with a standard build, black and white hair, a groomed beard, and a large gap between his front teeth siding a witness. They added that the individual was wearing a black cap with a flat front and a logo depicting an orange four track excavator with the word Timber. We're also seeking information about the owner of a vehicle that may be associated with the person of interest, describing it as a cluttered looking, dark blue nineteen nineties Dodge or Chrysler van that had the rear passenger window on the driver's side covered in plastic. Okay, I'm figuring out a lot right now, just knowing about what they hell they're driving. Following the attack, the seal's wounds were healing. It had grown to about three hundred pounds, and there were no signs of that the stabbing was going to have lasting effects. Michael, three hundred pounds, Now that's a big baby. That's a big Thank god they have a lot of blubber.

27:50 Yeah, that's probably what's saved for real. The seal that was stabbed likely left its mother very recently and was on its way to learn to hunt. Once it had grown a bit more, it would have likely made its way back to breeding areas around the Channel Islands off southern California. The harassing, harming, killing, or feeding wild elephant seals is prohibited under the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and violations can be prosecuted civilly or criminally, and are punishable by up to one hundred thousand dollars in fines and up to one year in jail per violation. And that really is awful. I mean, you're trying to kill a seal. And what struck me in what you just said is you you were describing what's illegal, and one of the things you said was harassing a seal.

28:36 Man harass and seal listen. And I'm not laughing at the article. I mean, it's terrible. It is terrible. I'm not Look, I'm not a smart woman, okay, and I never claimed to you the smartest person in the room. But I'm not going to screw with a big old elephant seal. I'm not gonna harass it. I'm not even gonna talk shit to it. I'm just gonna be like, what's up, big guy, and keep moving. You know why those things can hurt you. So that poor little thing though. Well, big thing, No, it's three pounds, kja. It's a baby, it's a babby. Why the hell you got a flat front bill? I'm mad at you with your flat front hat on the bill, and you're gonna go just one up and just start slicing and dicing an animal. I think that we should measure society not only by how it treats. It's it's young and it's elderly, but also how it treats animals. Animals that you know they're they're they're not doing anything to you. And even if they were run Yeah, I've a three hundred pounds blob run You went over there and you were an asshole.

29:30 Sorry, Yeah, they're just doing it for kicks, but still harassment. Could you see if you got arrested for that and you were in a holding tank with all these bad ass dudes and they're like, what are you in for? You're like a harassed no, but this would be me. You also can't feed them, and I would go to jail for that. You would tell for it. Well, I had a ham sandwich and me and Jethrow over there were sharing it. You'd take it home with. You, I would, And then I'd fake I got any seal. Look, I'd fight that man with that knife too over that sea. You would, I know you would. I'll tell you a quick store. Okay, you know one time I did, I'm just getting a fight. This is I was probably I was I was still in my other career, so I was probably thirty, mid thirties, and I was at one of the stores that my other career we owned, and a guy was in the parking lot and there was a duck and he was kicking the duck. The duck was apparently injured, and so one of its legs was injured, and he was like, just soccer kicking it. Just an asshole.

30:35 And I went out there and I told him, why don't you socer kick me like that, because I whipped that ass. Yeah, he didn't say nothing. He got in his car in life, but literally stopped his car in the parking lot, got out and started kicking the seat of the seal, started kicking the duck. I just cannot listen. I found a baby squirrel one time, like that, you know about you know about my little squirrel that I found. That little sucker had his eyes closed and everything. And I got up every four hours and fed that thing with a dropper and raised it up right pee wee. Was a fricking g And then there's people out there that are just going to go up to an animal and stab it or kick it. Right, You're mean, and I don't have room for you. I agree, Well we're going to go. Look, I'm gonna call this the scam syndicate, and this little jewel of a segment is going to feature scams that you need to be aware of. Okay, there's a lot of them going around right now.

31:30 You know what, one of my friends real quick, you've read this yet, but one of my friends called me yesterday got scammed at a thirteen five hundred dollars. Happens all the time. Makes me sick, especially the elderly. They're getting really attacked right now. But look, I know some thirty year olds to get scammed. So police issued a warning this week over a new scam that is targeting customers of America's biggest banks. Police are warning the public about a new scam in which criminals poses representatives from major US banks and they trick the victims into handing over their money. The scammers are sending out text messages and those texts appear to come from institutions like Bank of America, P and C, Bank, Wells Fargo, big people, and they're claiming there's an issue with the recipient's account.

32:16 So the message instructs the victim to either call a number or wait for an incoming call from someone posing as a bank representative. Now, when the call happens. The scammer appears to have access to the victim's personal banking information. They have things like recent transaction history, and it makes the interaction look legit. So once they establish trust with this person, the fraudster instructs the victim to secure their funds by withdrawing cash and then depositing it into a traditional or cryptocurrency ATM, which right now is what happens to my problem. It happens all over the place.

32:58 I wasn't prepared for you to say that that's exactly what happened to my friend. And then they also say, well, you could purchase gift cards for us as well. The scammer then steals the deposited funds or gift card information. In just one week, several victims in Maryland lost a total combined amount of ninety five thousand dollars to the scam. Authorities in Washington and Pennsylvania have also received reports of similar fraudulent texts, and so they're urging the public just don't respond to the text now. One of the text messages of victim and Maryland received said wells fargo alerts and then it said we've received a request to transfer seven hundred and thirty dollars via zel. So the person usually replies with yes, that was me or no, and this particular victim replied no because it wasn't her and was told their account was locked and a representative would call them shortly, and then that scammer called and when it was all sudden done, this person got scammed. So the moral to the story here is if you get a text from a bank, it's not legit because they're not going to text you, they're going to call you. And then the second thing I want to add to that is always go into your bank and talk to a representative before you ever start transfer and chet yep, go into your bank. Now, maybe you just bank online and you don't have access to a human. Well, go on the legit website, don't

34:31 click a link, but go to wellsfargo dot com and they're going to give you a one eight hundred number and you call them. Don't ever ever follow these texts, and some people with money transactions are going to text you, right. And then something else too that's happening is that these scammers are also mimicking the websites of the actual banks or other entities, and so when you search it, you would expect like Chase Bank, for example, that you would expect when you type in Chase Bank, that would be the number one one that would pop up. And then people click that and they go and they put in their login information. Well, you have to verify that you are actually on the actual website you need to be on.

35:12 Because you put in your information, they've got it. Well, if you'll remember, a lot of people have been getting and I got this text, A lot of people have been getting the text regarding the toll beef text yep, where it says you've got it yesterday to pay your tolls. Yeah, I get it all the time. I've got it like four times. This is such bullshit. But do you know that people are still as much as it is out there? People are still clicking on that thing and supposedly paying a toll. Yeah, that's bs y'all. They'll send you something in the mail. Oh look here, does right hear the toll violation. I just pulled it up on my phone. Right here. This is your final notice regarding it, your unpaid balance of.

35:54 Six off final notice, My final notice going to Alcatraz. Come and get me baby. But that's what I tell anybody is that if anyone, and especially if they claim to be law enforcement, that's a big one. Well then you have my address, come get me. That needs to be your response. Grow up to the police station. Exactly. You know, if someone is ever gonna call you, the police are never gonna call him threaten you by phone if they need to come get you, right, they're the freaking police. You know. Yeah, and then if they show up, be like, oh my bad, and just you know, just take a free. Ride, right, exactly. Crazy. Well, speaking of some crazy shit, Jennifer Aniston, we all know Jennifer Anderson right friends, Yeah, from friends, you know. No, she was not my favorite, she was mine. Chandler was my favorite friend. Oh I love Chandler. Yeah, I know we got something so that he dies. But that's a whole different story another day. But Jennifer Aniston stalker shoots a chilling glare during a bizarre shirtless court appearance after he crashed his shirtless and let me tell you, guys, buff no, actually he's not. But he did crash his car into her twenty one million dollar mansion. So he made this bizarre shirtless appearance in court days after he was arrested for crashing his car through the front gates of her twenty one million dollar mansion, and she was inside whenever it happened. Jimmy Wayne Carwhile If that doesn't sound a great, God, that sounds like a stalker. Jimmy Wayne Carwhile, forty eight years old, shot cameras chilling glares

37:25 and smiles as he appeared behind glass in a custody area of a Los Angeles court room while wrapped in an anti suicide blanket to face felony, stalking and vandalism charges. On Thursday, Andison was home when Carwhile crashed his Chrysler PT Cruiser through the gate of her home. God, and it drives a PT Cruiser, gotta be a stall. I mean that gum in a wealthy bel Air neighborhood. A security guard stopped him in her driveway and held him at gunpoint before police arrived and arrested him. There were no reports of anyone being injured. Carwhyle is also accused of sending Anniston unwanted social media, voicemail and email messages starting back in March of twenty twenty three, with a last message sent on the same day of the crash.

38:08 Mississippi man Carwhile he didn't enter a plea or speak at all during the arraignment hearing, but intently stared at the courtroom and placed his hands on the glass during the hearing, it was determined he must go through mental health court to determine whether he's competent to face the charges against him. Judge Keith Schwartz doubted whether Carwile would understand him when a prosecutor requested that the defendant, who will remain in jail, be ordered not to go near Aniston. Carlwile's lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Torel Malik, said, I don't believe him staying away from Miss Anniston will be an issue at this time, but at a prosecutor's insistence, Schwartz issued the order. Anyway, You're not to have contact with Jennifer Aniston under any conditions, the judge said. He was also ordered to stay at least one hundred yards away from her home. Judge Schwartz set bail at one hundred and fifty thousand dollars and called for the next hearing to take place at the Mental Health Court in hollyoo Would on May twenty second, a friend of Carwall said, my hopes were that someone somewhere would see this and get him the help that he needs. Jimmy is a good man, but his drug use caused him mental instability.

39:11 I pray that right. I pray that this thing that Jimmy Carwhile has done gets enough attention that he gets the help he needs. Please be in prayer for Jimmy, that the Lord work all this out for his good. Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hakmann said in a news release. Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous violent actions, threatening the safety of victims in our communities. Social media posts allegedly from Carwhile have also been on earth following the crash. It hasn't been confirmed if the account is associated with the suspect or an individual with the same name, and the posts appear to have been taken down. Several posts referred to Aniston as his bride, including one posted in October allegedly referring to the actress as Jennifer Aniston. Carwhile that's not creepy.

39:57 Bad at all. Ins if you if you see this guy, we'll have to figure out why it pays. This somewhere but he he is. He is the stalker. He's exactly what you're thinking in your head right now, is exactly what he looks like. Yes. Another post allegedly said that he and Aniston would be mended together, before incoherently drawing comparisons to Adam and Neve that that's scary to me on a real level because the religiousness gets mixed with uh, stalking and drugs. Yeah, I don't like that. The attorney District Attorney's office accused him of repeatedly harassing the victim, and added that the harassment culminated when he crashed his car through the front gate, causing substantial damage and stopped in her driveway. They held him at gunpoint, as I already said, and Aniston was home at the time of the crash but never came in contact with the suspect. Now let me tell you some real quick I'm gonna give you a visual. He is in his little turtle suit or in his anti you know, suicide type suit that's got only velcro to be able to close it up. He's got it pulled down right below his his chesticles there. And he's got a gray and white beard and mustache and then this curly gray and white hair. But the look in his eyes I can only describe as like shark eyes. It's a blank stare at you. And then he just has his hand up against the glass like crazy person.

41:23 Yeah, he is definitely he needs help eating farv beans and all that sort of stuff wherever he's at. I totally agree with the prosecutor on that one, and that he needs to be given some type of clearance before they. And look, you know, we're laughing at him. But the fact of the matter is this is pretty serious, and I'm sure Jennifer Aniston was totally freaked out. They just had an incident. I mean, Taylor Swift gets them all the time. She's had pretty close calls. Sandra Bullock also just had a situation. I don't know how recent this was, but I came across the nine one one call where a stalker broke into her else with her there, she heard a loud noise. Now get this, she's got so much money. She had a safe room cause and she was calling the police from in that safe firm and they're like, we're you somewhere safe and she says, oh, you ain't getting in here. But she had like cameras that she could see all over the house, in the in the door on this safe room was like a vault door. You weren't getting it out of it.

42:26 But if your children were home and you know she has kidding, there's no doubt. And I mean you've got a twenty one million dollar mansion. I mean hopefully she had security there and he didn't get to her, so there must have been some sort of deterrent that kept him from doing that. But it is a serious issue. With and I don't look, I don't care if you're rich and you give a mansion or if you're just an average joe. When someone breaches that security and safety of your home, the place that yours, that no one's supposed to be there but you, that is unnerving on a level. That's just, you know, unreal. If you've ever been burglarized, you know what it feels like to have a stranger inside your house. Yeah, you know, that's scary. So and then when you take it to the point that you're willing to drive a view that could have killed somebody and then you smash through the front gate of someone's home, you're nuts.

43:13 Oh yeah, he's nuts. He's definitely off his rocker. Yeah. So anyway, you got to check that out face. You got to see the picture. And one thing we have not gotten to today, but we're recording this on Friday the ninth, and this weekend is Mother's Day. Yeah, Sunday is Mother's Day. We're gonna have a little fun with caj real quick, since she's a mother, are we a proud mother? And we're gonna talk about some statistics, some fun thing. I love my fun facts. Okay, so I got some fun facts on Mother's Day and I'm gonna discuss these with kJ S if she knows some of these. God, I wasn't ready for this. I'm gonna look stupid. How many phone calls do you think are placed for Mother's Day specifically to mother's in the nation anyway.

43:58 And across the nation on Mother's Day? Yeah, one billion? Because well there's not a billion people. Yeah, but you might have multiple you know, have a mom and a step mom, and you might be making multiple calls to multiple women. Well you will be a little bit and you well they're only counting mothers. One hundred and twenty two million phone calls specifically to mom on Mother's Day. So that is about half of the population, a little less than a little less than half. I especial's three hundred and fifty million people. I still expected more. I don't Yeah, I'm dumb. I don't know. What do you think the top Mother's Day gift is flowers? Nope, greening card. Y'all should have seen her face.

44:47 You can't mail flowers, I guess. And if you live away from your mom, you can mail a card. Oh my sweetheart, got me an hour and a half massage. Oh that's a good one. That's a real good one. Mama wants that. Yeah, I mean I'll take your flowers. Thank you. And so that's your top. That's your top Mother's Day gift. Now, it was made official on May ninth of nineteen fourteen, and a lady named Anna Jarvis. She actually started Mother's Day to honor mother's after the Civil War. Now this was well after the Civil War, so it was I don't know where the reference is there, but shout out to Anna Jarvis who made it to where you get those massages every year.

45:31 Anna, you're my girl. That's right, Thank you so much. Anna. Now, what do you think the busiest restaurant day of the year. Is the busiest restaurant day of the year? Yeah, like one day? Yeah, what day is busier than any other? To go, well, I mean we're doing something about Mother's Day. You want to say Mother's Day is Mother's Day? That's great if you'd have got that wrong out. Of been like, but yes, that is the April fourteenth with perfect weather. If you're in the if you're in the restaurant industry, mother's days where you make that money. And it's also why I never take my wife out to eating kids on Mother's Day because well, good luck getting a table unless you think ahead.

46:13 Which I do not listen. I am just so last minute, Jim kindhearted that I decided to give birth to one of my children on Mother's Day. So we always are seal. Yes, so we're always celebrating a child, a child's birthday on Mother's Day. What's the best gift that you've gotten on Mother's Day? And I know they're all good, but is there something that sticks out? Yes, I'm an active service person. I like that and when people help me clean my house, when I come home to a clean house, that's why we got three kids. People's that's interesting, you know, that that is mother's requests. Two things in particular for Mother's Day. One is house cleaning.

46:54 Oh wow, so you're in a lot of company there, and the other is they want to get out of the house, many of them. So there you have that. Now, Americans will spend thirty one billion dollars on Mother's Day. That's a lot good. I mean billion? Would it be? Girl, Jim, you ever been in labor? No? Okay, then shut up? The official flower? What do you think it is for Mother's Day? I think it would be the rose. Let me tell you why though. Okay, if it's coming from the daddy, it's because the daddy loves the mama, hopefully, and so he would buy roses. Now, if the kids are involved, I feel like it would be more along the lines of like a carnation e type flower.

47:37 You have it right with carnation No way believe that is the official flower. And the same lady Ainta Jarvis came up with that. She gave carnations to all the moms in her church and that became kind of the official flower. Well, go Anna, Anna was all about the moms. Mother's Day is also the third most attended church service. What do you think the other two are Gosh, you gotta know this one, Christia. That's an Easter, I would think, But what order the order they come on the calendar? Well, what's number one? Number one is actually Easter? I would say it was Easter because he's risen, you know, and over Christmas.

48:18 Number two of Mother's Day number three. Yes, you're good at these, so there it is, Happy Mother's Day. kJ into all the mothers. I know there's a lot of you listening us. Guys. We suck. I mean, look, you don't mother's mother's outwork guys any day of the week. There's ned doubt about it, because they do the work, and then they do the work, so they go home and take care of all that. Typically, I mean his fathers do some things. But yeah, nobody can be to the mind. I think that moms and dads have very specific roles that they play, and I love that about the way that we're designed. I think that it's wonderful. I want to be the nurturer. I want to be the one that's there for my kids. I want to hug him in some but I also want their daddy to go straight bast mode when it's time to go beast mood.
