Greenville’s Most Wanted Handyman Captured
Also Greenville’s most stupid, because only a moron would plan a crime this easy to solve:
The Greenville County Sheriff’s Office has arrested a man they say was one of their “Most Wanted.”
Steven Edward Janes, 49, was wanted for numerous charges dating back to April 1.

Armed Robbery Suspect Not as Hot as Hoped For, Also a Horrible Mother
During a slow news day I had idly hoped that the 30-40 year old woman committing a string of armed robberies would spice up the local crime scene by being an attractive woman whose Facebook profile would be full of bikini clad photos I could mine for days to increase traffic. Alas, it was not to be my friends. Instead we have Alisha Chandel Howse. Don’t let the stripper name fool you, she’s a methed out skank who looks like the product of years of inbreeding … by people with one ear noticeably bigger than the other.
No, really. Look at her ears:
So there goes all my Google image traffic. But the worst part of this story isn’t that none of the crooks in this area have the decency to have hot pictures floating around I can use as link bait, it’s that Alisha Howse is literally a horrible mother:
Greenville authorities have arrested a Taylors mother who is accused of committing three violent robberies, including one armed robbery while her children waited in her car.
Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office have charged Alisha Chandel Howse, 28, of 253 A Wansley Road, Taylors, with three counts of armed robbery, two counts of possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent offense, and three counts of unlawful neglect of a child.
Howse is accused of a June 3 armed robbery at the Huddle House at 2907 N. Pleasantburg Drive in Greenville; the June 27 robbery of the Dollar General Store at 5601 Locust Hill Road in Travelers Rest; and the July 2 armed robbery of Taylor’s Food Mart at 1075 Reid School Road in Taylors, during which she is charged with leaving her three children, ages 9, 9, and 4, in her vehicle while committing the crime.
Looking at her early stage meth face and dead eyes I’m betting armed robbery is not the worst thing Howse was up to while her kids were waiting in the car.
Is it too much to ask for a criminal with some curb appeal? Before breaking any laws ladies try to get a photo or two online like this:
Morons Break Into Gas Station in Front of Video Camera
The haul? 33 packs of Newports. I’ll reserve comment except to say thanks for making us look good, brother. Here’s a hint for erstwhile thieves: store owners don’t leave lights on out front because they think the building is scared of the dark, it’s so the camera can get a good look at you.
According to a incident report obtained from the Police Department, the burglary sometime Sunday night or early Monday morning at the Murphy’s Gas Station, located at 2517 Laurens Road. The report states that an employee at the convenience store came into work early Monday morning and noticed that the business had been burglarized.
Deputies and the employee reviewed the surveillance video and observed a black male and white female pull up to the door of convenience store in a black or gray Chevrolet S-10 truck. The video shows the male suspect exiting the truck and taking a tire iron and hitting the store’s door and causing the glass to shatter before entering the business.
Shameful.
Hopefully Hot Armed Robber On The Loose in Greenville County!
She’s covering her face with a bandanna so we don’t actually know if she is hot, but word on the street is that underneath her hooded sweatshirt the desperate bandit looks like this:
From Fox Carolina:
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Deputies said Tuesday they are searching for a woman believed to be behind three area robberies since June 3.
Investigators with the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office said that the 30- to 40-year-old woman was armed with a gun in two of the robberies and and a crowbar in the third. They said she was also wearing a bandanna in each of the robberies.
The first robbery happened at the Huddle House on North Pleasantburg Drive on June 3 at 4 a.m.
The second hold up happened at a Dollar General store on Locust Hill Road in Travelers Rest on June 27 about 7:30 p.m.
The third robbery happened at the Taylors Food Mart on Reid School Road on July 2 about 3 p.m.
Deputies described the woman as white, between 5 feet and 5 feet 4 inches and between 120 to 130 pounds.
The reader who tipped me said it’s too bad that they didn’t put her measurements in there but I would never lower myself to that level.
He also said that he thinks she’ll look more like this when unmasked:
But seriously, I’m glad no one’s been hurt yet and the Greenville Bandita needs to turn herself in, and send us some exclusive photos for her fans.
Three Thugs Arrested in Joshua Bryant Murder
Fox Carolina is reporting that there have been three more arrests in the brutal and senseless Joshua Bryant murder. Bryant was gunned down at a Dollar General when he saw armed men enter the store while waiting for his mother, who happened to be shopping there. When he went to protect his mother, he was murdered.
Now Dewayne Gregory Jr., Derek Duncan, and Avery Thomas, were arrested and charged with murder and armed robbery. The trigger man, Tremaine Davis, was already arrested but these three were involved in the planning of the robbery. Duncan and Thomas were on scene as the getaway driver and lookout respectively. Gregory may or may not have been there but police are saying he provided Davis with the gun used to murder Bryant. Hopefully justice will be done in this case.
There’s a Joshua Bryant memorial page up for you to visit. You can pay your respects and donate to help the family with the funeral costs.
