Felton woman charged with calling ex-boyfriend more than 300 times
Brittany Horn, The News Journal
Kourtney Furber(Photo: MILFORD POLICE DEPARTMENT)
A 19-year-old Felton woman was arrested after Milford police say she called a man's cell phone more than 300 times in one day.
Court documents obtained by The News Journal indicate that Kourtney R. Furber followed her 18-year-old ex-boyfriend into Milford city limits, "motioning to him to pick up his phone" while repeatedly calling him.
Police were contacted by a man who reported that Furber kept calling his phone on April 18, Sgt. Dwight Young said. The man said he had been contacted more than 300 times, but continued to ignore the calls.
Furber then called him at work, harassing him at work until he finally hung up, according to court documents. At one point, the man told police that Furber said "If you can't be with me, you can't be with your kids," according to court documents.
He also reported that Furber tried to run him off the road and threatened to bust his car windows.
She also showed up at the man's workplace, where she approached him in the parking lot outside, according to court documents.
Furber was charged with harassment and released on $1,000 unsecured bond.

Well, he's been fired. His father, the owner, is now in danger - he could lose his franchise if there are repeated issues like this. That's a standard clause in franchise agreements, and he is now on the radar. Del Taco does have enough Franchise applicants to not put up with locations that embarrass them.
So yeah, the asshole who objected to filling the order is the loser.
Edit: If the jackass was in the good graces of his father, the franchise owner - he wouldn't have been working the late night drive through window. Sounds to me like he was already on the shit list.

The term "ex-convict" might be more appropriate once they are released. "Felon" is also appropriate as an identification for employers and neighbors. This is just more pc nonsense.

DOJ Decides It Won’t Call People ‘Felons’ Or ‘Convicts’ Because Hurts Their Feelings
CASEY HARPER
An official with the Department of Justice said the agency will no longer call people “felons” or “convicts” after they are released from prison because it is too hard on them emotionally.
Assistant Attorney General Karol Mason wrote a piece in The Washington Post Wednesday saying “many of the formerly incarcerated men, women, and young people I talk with say that no punishment is harsher than being permanently branded a ‘felon’ or ‘offender.'”
Mason said the decision is not to condone their behavior, but to use words to help them reenter society.
In my role as head of the division of the Justice Department that funds and supports hundreds of reentry programs throughout the country, I have come to believe that we have a responsibility to reduce not only the physical but also the psychological barriers to reintegration.
The labels we affix to those who have served time can drain their sense of self-worth and perpetuate a cycle of crime, the very thing reentry programs are designed to prevent. In an effort to solidify the principles of individual redemption and second chances that our society stands for, I recently issued an agency-wide policy directing our employees to consider how the language we use affects reentry success.

Health Department: No Known Illnesses From Mouse Poison Sprayed At Ann Arbor Grocery Stores
ANN ARBOR (WWJ) – The Washtenaw County Health Department has been fielding calls from people who shopped at Ann Arbor grocery stores where the FBI says a man has admitted to spraying produce and food bars with mouse poison.
The department’s Kristen Schweighoefer said there’s no evidence so far that anyone has gotten sick, but there is a lot of concern in the community.
“Given the popularity of these grocery stores, it’s not surprising that a number of people have eaten foods, especially produce, from those grocery stores,” she told WWJ’s Sandra McNeill. “What we’re doing is trying to determine if their symptoms are consistent with the mouse poison and hand sanitizer, things like that.”
The FBI says a man, now in custody, sprayed a mixture of an alcohol-based hand-sanitizer, water and Tomcat mouse poison — contaminating produce and other food items at three Ann Arbor grocery stores in the last two weeks.
The FBI’s Jill Washburn said, while they’re still deciding whether he should face federal or local charges, there has been no time yet set for a hearing in the case.
“At this point we’re examining what our options are,” Washburn said. “…And part of that hinges on the fact that we’re still collecting evidence and doing our investigation, so depending on what turns up there.”
Confirmed stores are Whole Foods Market, 990 W. Eisenhower Parkway; Meijer, 3145 Ann Arbor-Saline Road; and Plum Market; 375 North Maple Road.
Washburn said they’re looking into additional locations that may have been involved.
The FBI said the following stores may also have been targeted:

2240 S Main Street
Ann Arbor, MI
Cupcake Station
116 E Liberty

Man seeks restraining order against God
Haifa resident asks court to keep the Almighty away, claiming He is being mean to him
BY STUART WINER
An Israeli man has petitioned the Haifa Magistrate’s Court for a restraining order against God, claiming the Almighty has been particularly unkind to him.
The initiator of the request, a resident of the northern port city, represented himself in court, the Walla news site reported on Wednesday.
A protocol of the hearing noted that God did not turn up for the session, although it did not specify how the court determined the Omnipresent was not in fact there, as opposed to merely exercising the right to remain silent.
The petitioner, who was not named in the report, noted that he had tried to obtain the restraining order from police for the past three years but that police had merely sent a patrol car to his home on 10 occasions.
He argued that over a three-year period God, had exhibited a seriously negative attitude toward him, although details of just what divine mischief he had borne the brunt of were not mentioned in the report.
Presiding Judge Ahsan Canaan denied the request, which he said was ludicrous, asserting the applicant needed help not from the court but rather from other sources.
The report did not include a response on the outcome from any of the multitude of available spokespeople on behalf of the Lord.

Feds pay researcher to have bee sting his penis
By Stephen Dinan - The Washington Times
Taxpayers paid for one scientist to have a bee sting his penis according to a painful new survey of wasteful spending being released Tuesday by Sen. Jeff Flake.
Some $1 million in NSF money was spent on the grant that involved studying where it hurts most to be stung by a bee. The penis turned out to be only third-worst out of 25 options, falling behind nose and upper lip.

‘Fat Activist’ Speaks at Public Health School, Denounces ‘Thin Privilege’
By Emily Zanotti
The University of Minnesota’s School of Public Health was a lot less healthy this week.
In celebration of “International No Diet Day,” the school of public health,together with the University of Minnesota’s School of Social Work and its College of Food and Agriculture, invited Virgie Tovar, a self-proclaimed “fat activist,” to instruct America’s future nutritionists, dietitians and social workers on the finer points of “fat oppression.”
Tovar’s talk, entitled “Dispelling Myths: Fat, Fatphobia, and Challenging Social Stereotypes,” was designed to help students understand that “fat phobia” is rampant in a “white, heteronormative society” that is looking to actively oppress people with larger body types. Society’s bias against fat people is, apparently, a form of bigotry and discrimination, evident in everything from sexual preferences to the size of seats on public transportation.
She even, reportedly, compared society’s anti-fat culture to so-called “rape culture,” and chastised society for its obsession with what she termed “thin privilege.”
According to Tovar, the students, who study public health (at one of the top 10 schools for public health), shouldn’t push people they deem overweight to shed pounds, even if it’s better overall for health. “Weight loss is not a realistic goal for most people,” she said, declaring that exercise and diet are “social constructs.” She implored her audience to “lose hate, not weight” and rebel against “diet culture.” (Diets are, of course, just a tool of the hetero-normative Patriarchy.)
She did not specify how “losing hate” would have the same impact on, say, your chances of dying of heart disease, but we assume she was not referring to any scientific understanding of human anatomy or disease.
No surprise, Tovar, who lists her occupation as “fat activist,” has a Masters in Human Sexuality—with a focus on the “intersection of body size, race and gender”—and taught at the University of California, at Berkeley, where that is considered an actual academic field of study. Her expertise is wide-ranging.
If you feel as though you’ve missed out on her speech at UMinn, for a cool $100 you can take her four-week interactive course, called “BabeCamp,” which will teach you how diet culture is ruining your life. It’s not a real camp, though—it’s four interactive webinars and a daily action email—but you do get a certificate at the end. No need to get off the couch.

Wife Battered Husband Over Candy, Flowers
"Wrong" Mother's Day gifts prompted attack, cops report
MAY 11--Incensed that her husband got her “the wrong flowers and candy” for Mother’s Day, a Florida woman allegedly pummeled her spouse, according to cops who arrested her for domestic battery.
Investigators allege that Virginia Stewart, 42, attacked her spouse during an argument early Sunday in their family’s Holmes Beach residence. Cops arrived at the house in response to a 911 hangup call.
As detailed in a probable cause affidavit, Stewart quarreled with her husband about “the victim getting her the wrong flowers and candy for Mother’s Day.”
After Stewart “did throw cups around the room and break them,” she allegedly attacked her spouse, punching him several times while also striking the man in the head with a coat hanger.
Stewart’s husband suffered “bruising and contusions,” noted cops, who added that the “injuries were highly visible on the left side of his face with contusions all over.”
Seen above, Stewart was arrested for domestic battery and booked into the county jail. She was released from custody Monday after posting $750 bond.
Stewart is scheduled for a June 9 arraignment on the misdemeanor charge. A judicial order bars Stewart from having any contact with her husband “until further court order.”

© Getty Images Reche Caldwell clearly was a better NFL player than he was an aspiring criminal.
Reche Caldwell was apparently a much better football player than criminal. The former New England Patriots wide receiver, who spent seven seasons in the NFL, had a tremendously tough time walking away from the league. In a feature by David Fleming of ESPN.com, Caldwell’s post-career criminal endeavors are well-documented.
After leaving the game, running a failed event planning company and struggling with post-football boredom, Caldwell started a gambling ring in West Tampa, betting on football because his “experience and expertise about the game were back in high demand.” Caldwell was reportedly doing $225,000 in wagers each month, hiding his money in coffee tins or wherever it would fit. His first criminal misstep was having his gambling ring operate in a car detailing shop, which was right across the street from a school.
“I see now, yup, not the greatest location for that kind of thing,” Caldwell says with a chuckle. “Too big, too fast. I laugh at my stuff too. What else can you do? I have to laugh. I really thought I was some kind of a criminal? All I know is, everyone kept telling me, ‘The police don’t care about this stuff, you’ll never get caught,’ and the next thing I know I’m headed to prison, saying goodbye to my kids, wondering: ‘What happened to me?'”
According to Fleming, Caldwell’s operation was eventually swarmed by a SWAT team, as he regularly, obviously gambled with undercover cops.
“Damn, man, you blasted the door with a tank? Why didn’t ya just knock? I woulda let y’all in.”
The highlight of Caldwell’s criminal activity, without a doubt, is when he wanted to get involved in the MDMA-Molly business. He reportedly opened up Google, typed in MDMA-Molly-China and ordered the drug from pop-up ads, delivering it to his girlfriend’s home door. When the package was flagged and delivered in a sting attempt, Caldwell drew an X on the signature and continued to make poor decisions.
“Caldwell answered the door and quickly scanned the yard, street and air searching for trouble. Sensing none, he drew an X on the signature pad and reached for the box. Caldwell remembers the agent drew back, then improvised: “With international deliveries, I need a verifiable signature or I can’t release the package.” Caldwell glanced back over his shoulder at his phone sitting on a hallway table, realizing at that moment that using an app to obsessively track this package, along with another kilo he had forwarded to Atlanta, probably wasn’t the smartest idea. If this is it, he thought, they already got me. Caldwell shrugged, waved for the clipboard and gave what turned out to be his last high-profile signature.”
Caldwell is currently servicing 27 months in prison for his criminal activity, involving possession of Molly and gambling charges. Check out Fleming’s full story, as Caldwell really made some bone-headed decisions. Unexpectedly, for someone so bad at being a criminal, Caldwell owned up to all the bad choices. Hopefully, when he’s released, he can use his brain the next time he thinks of making a quick buck illegally.

Nicolas Cage and Vince Neil got into a physical fight in Las Vegas on Thursday evening.
The 52-year-old Face/Off star and the 55-year-old Mötley Crüe singer were seen shoving each other outside the Aria Resort & Casino at approximately 5 pm.
According to TMZ, the rocker had just assaulted a woman inside the hotel, grabbing her hair and pulling her to the ground, and the actor was trying to calm down his friend outside.
Cage looked put together in a blue suit, but Neil appeared disheveled in a sloppy black T-shirt and camouflage cargo shorts. He also looked unsteady and confused.
Both wore sunglasses.
Cage then grabbed Vince and tried to put him in a lock to physically restrain him. Nicolas then soothed the headbanger, saying, 'You're OK, I love you.'
Bystanders stood around taking photos and a man who appeared to be a security officer attempted to diffuse the situation.
A rep for Nicolas has not returned calls to DailyMail.com
According to TMZ, Vince allegedly attacked a woman in the upscale hotel and the singer is 'now the subject of a criminal investigation.'
Law enforcement sources told the site 'the fight went down at around 5 PM at Aria Hotel on the Vegas strip.'
It was added that the movie star and the rock icon were together inside Aria 'when a woman came up to Nic and asked for an autograph.'
Vince then allegedly 'got behind the woman, grabbed her by the hair and pulled her to the ground.'
That is when Cage took Neil outside and argued with him.
In the clip shared by TMZ, the two men were seen at the end of the fight.
Though police are not seen in the video, the site claimed that Vince was 'cited for battery and never taken to the station.'
Neil has a long history with the law.

Unfortunately, yes.
"Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me, to me" - Queen

‘Free Hugs’ Guy Accused Of Attacking Tourist In Times Square
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — A man offering free hugs in Times Square is due in court Friday for allegedly attacking a tourist when she didn’t give him a tip.
Jermaine Himmelstein, known as the “free hugs” guy, is often seen toting a cardboard sign around Times Square offering free hugs.
But on Thursday afternoon, police said Himmelstein jumped into a picture 22-year-old Canadian tourist Sophie Violene Dauvois was taking, hugged her and then demanded $5.
Police said he then attacked her when she wouldn’t hand over the cash, punching her in the face.
Himmelstein ran off but the victim took a photo as evidence and showed it to police, who found him in the area, authorities said. He faces charges of attempted robbery and fraudulent accosting.
The woman was taken to Mount Sinai West Hospital and was treated for an injury to her eye as well as cuts and bruises.
Investigators say it’s not the first time he’s pulled this stunt, CBS2’s Janelle Burrell reported.
“He is no stranger to this,” said NYPD Chief of Department James o’Neill. “He has multiple prior arrests and several were for the same type of offense.”
The incident comes as city officials are working to get a better handle on the costumed characters and others looking for tips in Times Square, some of whom have allegedly harassed and even hurt unassuming tourists.
Last month, the City Council approved the creation of a specific zone for the tip seekers, but after Thursday’s confrontation, some believe even more measures need to be taken.
“Something needs to be done,” said tourist Jennifer Manos. “There needs to be an extra layer of protection or something.”

Pretty clear to me that the punishment isn't severe enough to deter him.
30 days in county might effect some change in behavior.

Hitting the bottle to cope with the kids and how 'have a magical day' is code for 'go f*** yourself': Staff reveal what it's REALLY like to work at Disney
Working at a Disney theme park is a dream for many children, but it turns out that dressing up like a fairy tale princess isn't all that it's cracked up to be.
Employees at the company's theme parks have been sharing revelations about their jobs on the anonymous confessions app Whisper and the stories range from heartwarming to heartbreaking.
Among the secrets shared, staff members revealed that they wanted to kick the children, they are banned from dyeing their hair and that mean guests can often leave them in tears.
For some, the attitude of the guests has marred what was once their dream job.
One employee said: 'I work at Disney World and being around children and their parents all day every day has taught me how not to raise my children.' Another added: 'I work seasonally for Disney World and guests are so mean sometimes I leave work in tears.'
This mistreatment by guests has led to many employees feeling contempt towards the tourists. One such contributor said: 'I work at Disney and 'have a magical day' is mouse for "go f*** yourself".'
Another added: 'I work at Disney Land and I want to kick the kids, especially the ones that come near me.'
Meanwhile, a particularly troubled employee revealed they had taken to drinking alcohol before work. They said: 'Every day before my shift I drink liquor to help make me more cheerful for the children.'

Here's a duet of dumbasses for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to click the link below and watch the video for your viewing goodness. A man sits in his truck for an hour yakking on the phone while blocking the gas pump. The woman takes a baseball bat to his truck while he stands there watching. Hopefully they don't get married and produce more dumbasses.

Woman Accused Of Taking Bat To Man’s Car For Staying In Front Of Gas Pump For Too Long
LANCASTER (CBSLA.com) — A violent confrontation was caught on camera at a gas station in the High Desert.
Cellphone video of the incident from the Valero gas station in Lancaster showed a woman who’s accused of repeatedly hitting a man’s truck with a bat. The woman apparently is an employee at the station.
The owner of the vandalized truck, identified only as Ray, said he was shocked and feared for his own safety.
In the clip, the woman is seen standing in front of the truck and counting before taking the bat to the truck’s back tail light. She’s heard telling him, “I told you to move.”
Deputies responded to the scene and arrested the woman on suspicion of vandalism in connection with the incident, which a witness captured on tape. In the video, the woman is also heard telling the man to call the police.
Ray said he suspects the incident unfolded because he was sitting in his truck making calls after he filled his tank.
He admits he lost track of time, possibly staying there for about an hour.
Erica Nochlin, a reporter for CBS2/KCAL9, returned to the gas station Wednesday night and saw a woman who resembled the person in the clip behind the counter.
That individual declined to comment and provided Nochlin with the contact information to her attorney.
A call placed to that attorney was not immediately returned.

McDonald's workers' brawl caught on camera as pair row 'over who gets to cook the Apple Pies'
BY KELLY-ANN MILLS
This footage shows the moment fists start to fly as two McDonald's employees start to fight behind the counter.
The 25-year-old and 30-year-old woman apparently began brawling over who was going to cook the chain's famous Apple Pies.
The clip was filmed by a customer who was waiting in line with his girlfriend for a McChicken sandwich when it all kicked off.
Noah Smith said: “I’m thinking 'oh man something’s about to really happen right now'."
As Mr Smith's footage shows the women were pulling each other by the hair, punching and shouting at each other, while another woman tried to break them up.
Police were called to the restaurant in Chester County, South Carolina, in the USA, on Wednesday night.
No one was seriously injured and although police are still investigating.
A police report about the incident said a 30-year-old employee asked a 25-year-old employee to start baking Apple Pies when an argument ensued.
The older woman told the younger employee to leave the restaurant saying she would cover the rest of her shift, but the 25-year-old allegedly refused to leave, so the older employee said she would call the police.
The fight then broke out between the two.
McDonald’s Director of Operations Chris Sparks said in a statement: "We take the care and safety of our employees very seriously and have zero tolerance for violence.
"At this time, we are cooperating fully with the police during their investigation into this matter.”
