Candy Marie King is a Moron
After being on the run for a few days the world’s dumbest check forger has been caught. Don’t be too impressed with the detective work though, Candy Marie King forged checks to herself using her real name:
Greenville sheriff’s deputies have arrested a 40-year-old Greenville woman who they say forged child support checks and took other checks that she wrote to herself.
Investigators said between Feb. 22 and March 5, King acquired the routing and account number of the Greenville County Family Court Child Support account, and manufactured illegal documents resembling Family Court checks.
Employees from Family Court found the discrepancies during a daily internal audit and notified the Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies said King made the checks payable to herself, added Clerk of Court Paul Wickensimer’s name, and cashed them at area businesses.
King faces three forgery charges related to falsified documents from to the Greenville County Family Court account.
King faces an additional eight forgery charges in connection to other incidents dating back to Sept. 24, 2009.
I’m surprised this took so long to come to light. But using her real identity to run a check scam wasn’t the only dumb thing she did:
Investigators said King obtained other checks belonging to two separate victims, one of whom she knew, and made the checks payable to herself, cashing them at area businesses.
They should give her extra time for stupidity. This scam was like robbing a bank by demanding the teller put all her money in your account.
Mother of the Year Almost Kills 12-Year-Old While Cooking Meth
Awful. Thankfully the child wasn’t injured but can we start sending our kids out of the house when we want to cook meth from now on? That would be great:
FOUNTAIN INN, S.C. — Laurens County deputies said that a woman was injured when a methamphetamine lab exploded early Friday morning.
The explosion happened at 443 Durbin Ridge Road.
Deputies said that a woman was dropped off at Hillcrest Hospital early Friday morning with burns to about 40 percent of her body, mainly on her arms and chest. They said the woman was flown to the Augusta Burn Center for treatment.
Investigators said that a 12-year-old was at the home at the time of the explosion, but was not injured.
Wolves would be better parents than this moron.
Home Tattoos Are a Really Bad Idea … Unless You Want to Contract a Potentially Fatal Infection
If your kids have turned up with a mysterious tattoo on them get them to a hospital, because the scumbag giving them to teens is spreading staph infections to kids with his no doubt unsanitary practices:
NEWBERRY, S.C. — South Carolina authorities are looking for a man who is tattooing young people in their homes without their parents’ permission.
Newberry County Sheriff Lee Foster said 25-year-old Jesus Lopez is unlicensed and has given at least tattooed at last five people under age 21 without their parents knowing. Both are against the law.
Foster says at least two of the people who got tattoos from Lopez have also come down with staph infections, which could cause serious complications if not treated immediately.
Serious complications like death. You can read up on staph at this excellent site. Sounds like Lopez is reusing dirty needles so staph is the least of the problems, though a serious problem in and of itself. Hepatitis, HIV and a host of other blood borne pathogens can be transmitted via illegal tattooing.
We don’t know where else he’s been operating so keep an eye on your kids.
Tammy Winchester is a Hellcat!
Don’t worry though, Greenvillians, she’s not local. But this mugshot is so awesome I could not skip over this story. Why’s Tammy so happy? Because getting busted for domestic violence and assaulting an officer might get you and me down, but for Tammy “Hellcat” Winchester it’s just another weeknight:
UNION COUNTY, S.C. — Union police officers arrested a woman Tuesday accused of burning a man with cigarettes and spitting on officers.
According to an incident report, officers responded to a domestic call on house on White Oak Street. They said a man, Roger Ford, 55, complained that Tammy Annette Winchester, 49, put a cigarette out on his back and scratched him on the chest and stomach.
Ford said Winchester assaulted him after he threw out her vodka and beer, the report stated.Officers said they entered the home and found Winchester on a bed. When they started to place her in handcuffs, they said, she began cussing and spitting repeatedly at them.
She spit numerous times on the glass and seat of the patrol car as she was transported to the Union County Detention Center, the report states.
Notice the report says they found her on a bed not in a bed. The less we know about that, the better I’m sure. The soon to be single Winchester sounds like a blast for any middle aged men out there with a sense adventure and a high tolerance for pain, but may I suggest the first date include dinner and an A.A. meeting?
Exit question 1: Judging from the mugshot, are we to assume this is Hellcat happy?
Exit Question 2: If this is how Hellcat reacts to having her booze taken away, what happens when you take her cigarettes?
Alleged Drug Trafficker is Definitely an Idiot
Don’t you love when criminals are so dumb they practically arrest themselves?
Take Tristan Spain McDaniel, for instance. Travelers Rest Police say the 25-year-old Georgia man was caught trafficking more than three pounds of cocaine across state lines Friday and didn’t bother to make sure his tag lights were in working order.
When an officer pulled McDaniel over on Highway 25 to issue a citation, the car reeked of cologne and air freshener. McDaniel claimed he was on his way to his mother’s house in North Carolina, but didn’t know the address.
Fortunately, the Travelers Rest Police weren’t born yesterday:
Backup arrived and the new officer at the scene wrote McDaniel a warning for the equipment violation.
Meanwhile, the original officer had his K-9 do an exterior search of McDaniel’s car. The officer said in the report his dog, Baron, gave him several alerts.
The officer said McDaniel tried to run away when he said he was going to search his car. After a very brief scuffle, McDaniel was put in the back of a patrol car.
The officer went back to the places in the car where Baron alerted him to the presence of drugs. The officer said he found two cookies underneath the front driver’s seat.
The officer stated in the police report that through his training, he knew of cocaine cookies.
“Cocaine cookies” are solid crack cocaine pressed into cookie-like discs. Police also found three and a half pounds of powdered cocaine, which McDaniel promptly claimed he knew nothing about.
Sure thing, buddy. The innocent always flee from the cops.
McDaniel remains at the Greenville County Detention Center on a $140,000 surety bond. He is charged with possession with the intent to distribute crack cocaine within a half mile of a school, trafficking cocaine, and trafficking crack.
