Town's Top Cop Quits Over Nude Photos of Wife

Mayor, Councilman Also Resign Amid Backlash Over Internet Postings

Snyder, Okla. - The police chief, the mayor and a councilman from this small, southwestern Oklahoma town resigned Friday, saying they were fed up with the public attention and criticism they received after the chief's wife appeared in various nude poses on a Web site and the photos began circulating around town.

Three officials resigned from a small town, saying they were fed up with criticism after the police chief's wife, shown here, appeared nude on the Internet.

"This has turned into a media circus," Chief Tod Ozmun said Friday. "I don't feel like me staying in office is going to benefit my department or my staff. This has turned into a mess. This is ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous."

Dozens of local residents had called for Ozmun's resignation, but the City Council decided last week that Doris Ozmun's adult pictures were protected by the First Amendment. A prosecutor had called for an investigation.

The chief read a statement from Clifford Barnard, the councilman who resigned:

"The citizens' concerns that we were not enforcing religious and moral beliefs was very heartfelt and I don't want to be associated with their moral or religious beliefs because I've never read anywhere in the Good Book that the Lord wanted us to persecute those that did not hold the same morals or values."

Mayor Dale Moore also resigned.

"I think this is wrong and I won't put up with it," he told The Oklahoman. "I don't want to work in a community like this."

Shirely Anderson, who served as Snyder's mayor for five years until 1995 and whose husband, Billy Ray Anderson, was mayor for eight years before that, has been critical of the chief and his wife.

"They have no morals as far as I'm concerned," said Shirley Anderson. "That's the whole thing I think - morals. You should have respectable people in office. They need to go somewhere else where this is accepted."

Earlier Friday, the chief said the whole issue involving his 43-year-old wife had been blown out of proportion.

"People in this country do what she does on a daily basis," he said. "It's absolutely ludicrous. Makes no sense at all."

He said he has had lengthy discussions with his wife about the photos but does not tell her what to do.

"My wife is 6-foot-3 and weighs 300 pounds," he said. "If there is somebody that thinks they can control her, have at it. I have tried for 11 years and haven't been able to."

Tod Ozmun, 34, chief since January 2005, said he first met his wife 11 years ago. He said she is his former police partner.

Doris Ozmun was paroled in March 2005 after spending two years in the state prison system on drug-related charges.


OK, here's a couple questions for you:

Which of the town's people was looking for nude pictures?

When the pictures were printed and passed around, did everyone take a close look?

And last question, how stupid is the police chief anyway? Her track "record" is not the best!!!!!

Hot Hot Hot!!!!!!!!!







Punter Arrested for Allegedly Stabbing Rival

Northern Colorado Reserve Faces Charges

Greeley, Colo. - The University of Northern Colorado's reserve punter was arrested Tuesday, accused of stabbing his rival in his kicking leg.

Mitch Cozad, a sophomore from Wheatland, Wyo., allegedly attacked starting punter Rafael Mendoza in a parking lot in Evans.

Mendoza, the Bears' first-string punter from Thornton, was treated and released from the North Colorado Medical Center Monday night. Coach Scott Downing said Mendoza will not punt for UNC in Saturday's game at Texas State University.

Cozad, Mendoza and freshman Zak Bigelow had been in a three-way race for the starting punter's job in pre-season training. Mendoza has averaged 37.6 yards-per-punt on nine punts in the two games so far this season.




Second Suspect Sought in Punter Stabbing

Witnesses Reportedly Saw Alleged Accomplice

Greeley, Colo. - Police said Friday they are looking for a second suspect in the stabbing of Northern Colorado's starting punter.

Evans police Lt. Gary Kessler said witnesses saw an alleged accomplice standing near the getaway car Monday night just after punter Rafael Mendoza was stabbed in his kicking leg outside his apartment.

"He didn't play a role in the assault, but he played a role in the crime," Kessler said. "He was dressed in black clothing. He was involved in the aftermath of the incident."

Northern Colorado backup punter Mitch Cozad is accused of stabbing Mendoza in his kicking leg outside his apartment in Evans, a small town adjacent to Greeley and about 50 miles north of Denver.

Not long after Monday's attack, a liquor store employee called police and said two men were removing tape from the front and rear license plates of a car in the parking lot. Once removed, the employee saw the license plate number read "8-KIKR," which led police to the family of Cozad, Kessler said.

Does this remind you of the Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan fiasco a few years back?

This kid and friend attend college and are stupid enough to try that, and double stupid to use a car with personalized plates.

Oh wait, he was a football player. I forgot!!

With this on his resume, he should be picked up by an NFL team as soon as he gets out of jail!!








Rage Over MySpace Photo Leads to Arrest

MESA, Ariz.- A 22-year-old woman was arrested after authorities say she tried to hire someone to kill another woman whose photo appeared on her boyfriend's MySpace.com Web page.

Heather Michelle Kane was booked Tuesday for investigation of conspiracy to commit murder, Mesa Detective Jerry Gissel said.

She was arrested after she met an undercover Mesa police detective at a grocery store, gave the officer $400 and offered to pay an additional $100 once the woman had been killed, according to court records.

The records say Kane gave the undercover officer photographs taken from her boyfriend's social networking Web page of the woman she wanted killed. She also requested a photo of the woman's dead body.

It wasn't clear if the boyfriend and the targeted woman were romantically involved, Gissel said.

Geez, she wanted a lot for 500 bucks!!!! MySpace - Where everyone knows your business. They have no idea that later things will be used against them!!!










Family Charged Over Marijuana Plot in Public Park

ROME - Two brothers have been arrested on charges of growing a marijuana plantation in one of the biggest public parks in Palermo, Sicily, Ansa news agency reported on Wednesday.

Police say the men, aged 25 and 30, had grown about 20 marijuana plants each at least six feet high in the Italian city's Parco della Favorita, Ansa reported.

The pair were arrested as they carried watering cans to the site, which was hidden by vegetation. Police who raided their home found 3,000 seeds, more marijuana and cash thought to be from sales of the drug.

The men's parents also have been charged in the case.

Hide in plain sight, but don't carry water!!!!










With all this crime, it's time to call in a professional to put a stop to this madness. It's time for Dog!!!





Duane 'Dog' Chapman Arrested by Feds

HONOLULU - TV reality show bounty hunter Duane "Dog" Chapman and two co-stars on his show were arrested in Hawaii on charges of illegal detention and conspiracy in an alleged kidnapping three years ago in Mexico, U.S. Marshals said.

Chapman, 53, son Leland Chapman and associate Timothy Chapman were taken into custody early Thursday by 15 officers and did not resist arrest, said Mark Hanohano, U.S. marshal for the district of Hawaii.

"It went down without incident," Hanohano said.

The charges stem from Chapman's capture of Max Factor heir Andrew Luster on June 18, 2003 in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, said Marshals spokeswoman Nikki Credic in Washington. Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico.

Chapman's detention of Luster, who had fled the country after being convicted of raping three women, catapulted the bounty hunter to fame and led to the reality series on the A&E channel. Luster is now in jail serving a 124-year term.

The three are being held in custody in Honolulu, and bail has not been set. They will face an extradition hearing to Mexico under terms of treaties between the U.S. and Mexico, Credic said.

Charges have been pending against the three since local police in Mexico arrested them shortly after they roped in Luster. They posted bail but never returned to Puerto Villarta for their court hearing on July 15, 2003, Credic said.

Mexican authorities demanded that the Chapmans transfer Luster to Mexican police.

A U.S. warrant for their arrest was signed by a federal judge in Honolulu on Wednesday.

Oh darn, Dog is unavoidably detained and cannot come to the rescue!!! What will we do now?

"Dog the Bounty Hunter" is A&E's top-rated show currently in its third season.

I hear they are already planning a new show to replace Dog. It's called I'm Beth.

I used to be Dog's main squeeze until he found a soul mate in prison.

As Paris would say "That's Hot."







And so it goes for Thursday. Tune in tomorrow for something more than all the news you can use!!!
