Two Different Cop Impersonators Roaming the Upstate!
This report is disturbing – be careful out there. The news report is about a degenerate seen in Spartanburg county who tried to get bribe money from one motorist and raped another. That person is a stocky White guy around 6’3″ to 6’4″ and weighing in between 277-300 pounds. He drives a blue Tahoe. But in Greenville County a young Black guy has been trying to pull the same scam, but hasn’t yet worked up to the rapings and extortion:
Meanwhile, Greenville County Sheriff’s deputies are investigating a reported police investigator from early Monday morning, but there’s no reason to think that incident was related to the Spartanburg incidents.
A woman says she was driving on East North Street around 2:30 a.m. when a vehicle behind her had flashing white lights in the grill.
She pulled over at Ramblewood Apartments and said the car stopped before pulling around her. She said there was no further contact, but she did see the driver of a black two-door Chevrolet Malibu.
He was described as a black man in his late 20’s who was wearing a white long sleeved t-shirt.
GCSO investigators say there’s no evidence to show this was linked to an earlier incident in the county or a previous report of an incident in Spartanburg County.
Which is definitely cause for concern since it means this is just a new scam a bunch of different crooks have come up with. Video courtesy WSPA:
South Carolina Man Shot by Ohio Craigslist Killers
Anyone who reads crime blogs knows sites like Craigslist are dangerous places frequented by all sorts of criminals looking for a quick score. Meeting anyone from these sites is risky and always has been. A local South Carolina resident found out the hard way that some of these people are interested in taking more than you’re money – they want you’re life:
One of the assailants was 16, the other a grown man and since the American press is being coy about the names to protect the identity of the kid it seems like the two are related. Let that sink in for a while. The Daily Mail identified the older man as 52-year-old Richard Beasley who has yet to be charged but is in jail on a prostitution charge. His mother claimed he hung around with drug addicts and “street people” so maybe the kid was also turning tricks with him?
Rumors are that there will be a lot more bodies uncovered in this area. The victim was lucky to escape with his life. Do not meet people from the Internet in real life, period.
South Carolina Finally Cracking Down on Backpage.com
Though for the wrong reasons. Before I begin I should say that a week ago I got a tip that a girl who was clearly underage was being advertised on Backpage in the escort section. I sent that tip and the link to the Greenville County Sheriff’s website tip page with all my contact information – and have yet to hear back from anyone. With the local PD not seeming to give a crap about trafficking it’s nice to see someone is taking a little action.
Of course the authorities are just cracking down on escorts and don’t have any plans to round up these sex slavers. At least it will make kidnapping and pimping out little girls less profitable. I don’t care if women want to go on the stroll to buy their meth – it’s the trafficking I’m concerned with. Anyway,baby steps and all that:
By the way, here’s a picture of one of the escorts on the local Backpage. Still think the local PD shouldn’t be involved?
Rodney McDonald is a Filthy Degenerate!
Allegedly, I say with just a hint of sarcasm in my voice while thinking of all the people who will claim I will be sued for slander and or defamation when McDonald is proven innocent, which will never happen. Of course in all my years of blogging I have never been sued and no one I ever called a degenerate has ever beaten their charges. I’m 1439-0! Suck it Manny Acosta!
Anyway, as you can guess by looking at the mugshot above, Rodney is a pervert who molested a child who was staying at his house. He’s also being charged with incest. You can see all his charges at the Greenville County Detention Center site. According to his charges his victim was between 11 and 14.
From WSPA:
GREENVILLE, SC — A man from Greenville was arrested and charged with committing lewd acts on a minor.
Greenville County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Zach Hinton said that 42-year old Rodney McDonald was arrested Monday and charged with two counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor, two counts of incest and two counts of committing or attempting to perform a lewd act on a minor.
According to Hinton, the incidents happened between July 2010 and September 2011. Warrants show that the victim told investigators that McDonald had sexual intercourse with her while spending the night and he was aware of her age. The victim also told investigators that McDonald touched her inappropriately.
Disgusting. Once he pleads guilty (and he will) I hope they lock him up for the max. Hopefully his victim will sue him for whatever money his has as well.
Backpage Used to Traffic Underage Sex Slaves in New Mexico
Though this is a problem all over the country – including here in Greenville County. From Trench Reynolds:
Police in Albuquerque, New Mexico say that 22-year-old Kendel Morrel (or Kendel Merrell) lured a 17-year-old girl into prostitution over Facebook.
The girl posted on her Facebook that she needed a job. Morrel is said to have offered her a job selling hip-hop magazines and CDs. Instead Morrel forced her to have sex with him and then turned her out for $150 a pop which she was ‘allowed’ to keep $50. He advertised her on backpage.com and tried to sell her for $3000 to other traffickers. Luckily the girl was able to escape and contact her family.
