IDAHO MAN FACES THIRD CONVICTION OF HIV TRANSMISSION

In 1990 Kerry Thomas, 45, had the dubious distinction of being the first ever person in the state of Idaho to be convicted for transmitting HIV. Now the former Boise State athlete is being charged again for wittingly passing on the virus that causes AIDS.

According to a CNN report, a grand jury in Ada County, Idaho, this week returned an indictment charging Thomas with seven counts of knowingly transferring the HIV virus. Thomas was previously convicted in 1990, after being charged with four counts of HIV transmission and two counts of statutory rape, Ada County deputy prosecutor Jean Fisher told CNN. The convict pleaded guilty only to the rape charges, as part of a plea agreement. Thomas received a 12-year sentence, from which he was released early.

Amazingly, in 1996 Thomas was again charged with a similar crime. He was convicted on one count of HIV transmission and received a 15-year sentence with a 7-year minimum for his second offense.

Now out on parole, Thomas is at it again and and may face stricter sentencing this time. Though each of the seven counts carries a maxiumum of 15 years and a $50,000 fine, prosecutors are seeking his designation as a “persistent violator,” which would make him eligible for a life sentence.

Exclusive:MAN ARRESTED FOR TRYING TO INFECT PRESIDENT OBAMA WITH AIDS

A man from President Obama’s hometown of Chicago has been arrested for allegedly sending Obama and his staff envelopes containing HIV-infected blood, in the hopes of killing or harming them …

In the weeks leading up to Obama’s inauguration, Saad Hussein, an Ethiopian refugee in his late 20’s, sent an envelope addressed to “Barack Obama” to offices of the Illinois government in Springfield, Ill.

The envelope contained a series of unusual items, including a letter with reddish stains and an admission ticket for Obama’s election-night celebration in Chicago’s Grant Park. Court documents said Hussein, who takes drugs to treat a mental illness, later told FBI agents he is “very sick with HIV” and cut his fingers with a razor so he could bleed on the letter.

Just Sick:MAN ANGRY ABOUT PAYING CHILD SUPPORT … SO HE KILLS HIS 2 YR OLD SON

Ladies, Ladies please be very careful who you lay down and bare a child with…this is an Public Service Announcement.

NEW ORLEANS – (AP) A man who initially told police gunmen kidnapped his 2 1/2-year-old son was arrested Saturday, accused of committing an “extremely hideous” murder because he was ordered to pay child support, Police Superintendent Warren Riley said.

Danny Platt confessed, told police where to find the child’s body and will be booked with first-degree murder of Ja’ Shawn Powell, Riley said at a news conference.

“He had said he would kill either his wife or his child before he paid child support,” which he recently had been ordered to do, Riley said.

Riley said he did not know the amount of child support and would not describe how the boy was killed, saying the coroner would do that after the autopsy was complete. The coroner’s spokesman did not immediately return a call.

“The mother is in a safe place,” Riley said.

Although he had visiting rights, Platt, 22, of New Orleans, had never visited the boy until he picked him up Friday, Riley said.

Police put out a notice Saturday asking people to look for the boy and saying his father had told them three men with dreadlocks and AK-47 rifles had piled out of an SUV and kidnapped Ja’ Shawn shortly before midnight Friday.

“His story never really added up,” Riley said. “He was a suspect from the very beginning.”

Riley said Platt eventually confessed and told officers where to find the body.

Platt had only a couple of “very minor” previous arrests, he said.

Naked man spends 7 hours on cellphone tower

CALL ME CRAZY OR MAYBE THIS GUY WAS HIGHER THEN HE REALLY WAS UP THERE ON THAT CELLPHONE TOWER. THIS REPORT JUST CAME IN BUT LET ME GIVE YOU THE FULL STORY ON WHAT WENT DOWN:

A Collin County man’s cellphone reception might have been clearer than his thinking Wednesday night.

The 23-year-old stripped naked and climbed a cellular tower in the small town of Lowry Crossing, about six miles southeast of McKinney.

Princeton resident Andrew Arnold was in the Collin County jail Thursday.

For reasons he has yet to explain to authorities, he spent seven hours in the buff on the cellphone tower.

About 4:40 p.m. Wednesday, authorities said, Collin County sheriff’s deputies approached Arnold after they’d received several calls about a man acting strangely.

He ran away from the deputies.

Initially, witnesses said, Arnold was wearing only jeans.

But by the time he jumped a fence and climbed 15 feet up the tower, officers said, he had disrobed entirely.

Sheriff’s Lt. John Norton said a negotiator was called to the scene, and Arnold finally agreed to descend shortly before midnight.

He was charged with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and fleeing from police.
