Boy Dupes Chicago Police and Does Five Hour Patrol
AP:
A 14-year-old aspiring police officer donned a uniform, walked into a Chicago police station and managed to get an assignment — patroling in a squad car for five hours before he was detected, police said Sunday.
The boy did not have a gun, never issued any tickets and didn't drive the squad car, Deputy Superintendent Daniel Dugan said.
Assistant Superintendent James Jackson said the ruse was discovered only after the boy's patrol with an actual officer ended Saturday. Officers noticed his uniform lacked a star that is part of the regulation uniform.
Police said they were investigating how the deception went undetected for so long in what they described as a serious security breach. Police said disciplinary steps are possible pending the outcome of the investigation.
Lawyer Scammed Out of $182,500 in Check-Fraud Scam
Lawyers Warned to Be Wary of Client E-Mail Scams:
Houston lawyer Richard T. Howell Jr., whose firm was scammed out of $182,500 by a client who contacted and hired him through e-mail, says he is talking publicly about the situation so he can prevent other Texas lawyers from making the same mistakes.
"I'm a capital 'D' Dumbass," says Howell, who has practiced law for 23 years and is a partner in Buckley, White, Castaneda & Howell.
In October 2008, Howell became the victim of a sophisticated, international version of a classic check-fraud scam, say two Texas consumer law attorneys....
"What has happened to him is a typical form of check fraud," says Richard Tomlinson, of the Law Office of Richard Tomlinson in Houston.
Because he is responsible, Howell says, he did not ask his partners to help him cover the loss, which stemmed from collections work Howell did for a client who said he was a businessman in Japan. To reimburse his firm, Howell says, he had to borrow money on a home equity loan.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving Downsizing Offices
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) is downsizing offices in seven states: Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon, Indiana, South Carolina, Arkansas and New York.
Speaking about its Wisconsin operation, Heidi Castle, vice president of communications for MADD, said, "Unfortunately, it is bad timing," Castle said. "It really has to do with the economy. Like most other nonprofits, we're feeling the problems with the economy."

Judge Who Pled Guilty to DUI Still Earning Her $150,000 Salary
Secret discipline of $150,000-a-year DUI judge could take two years:
She quietly pleaded guilty to drunken driving and was sentenced on the day President Obama was inaugurated.
But it may be another two years before Cook County Judge Sheila McGinnis is disciplined by the authorities who oversee Illinois judges - if they discipline her, according to the executive director of the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board.
McGinnis on Tuesday dodged a potential one-year jail term when she admitted drunkenly crashing her Chevrolet sport utility vehicle into the back of a family-of-four's minivan May 9 in Tinley Park....
Judge Edward Burmila fined McGinnis $1,000, ordered her to complete an 18-month probation stint, to attend counseling and to attend a victim impact panel during a brief hearing at the Markham courthouse.
The sentence was normal for a first-time offender, Burmila said.
But McGinnis, a cousin of Chicago Mayor Richard Daley, continues to draw a $150,000 judge's salary from the county. She was transferred from a criminal courtroom to administrative duties at the Daley Center after her arrest last summer....
A SouthtownStar survey of Illinois Court Commission records shows that not one of the eight Illinois judges investigated for DUIs since 1973 has been removed from the bench for even one day.

Death of a City
How low can homes go? Try $0:
Detroit real estate agent Ian Mason has sold homes for $1.When I asked him to check the listings for other properties at that price, he found four more.
He then took me to a white, clapboard-sided house that his company, Bearing Group Real Estate Brokerage, has listed.
"If you want this house, you can have it," he said. "I'll just give it to you.""I'm not allowed to accept anything of value from a source," I told him.
"Who said I was giving you anything of value?" he replied.
By contrast, the median price of a home sold in Detroit last month was $7,500... down 50 percent from last year.
Mason counted 1,228 homes listed for under $10,000, 209 of which were under $1,000.

Billionaire Has to Sell Some Toys
Hard-up billionaire forced to sell his toys:
Mr Packer, 41, who inherited a fortune from his father, the media tycoon Kerry Packer, has seen the value of his assets halve in the past year, from $6bn to less than $3bn, according to the Sydney Sunday Telegraph.
He launched his Mangusta 165 yacht, the Z Ellerston, in July, after a two-year wait for delivery. The world's largest model of open yacht, at 165ft, it is sold with a complimentary Aston Martin and features nine bedrooms. Mr Packer has also deferred delivery of a Boeing Business Jet to 2010 to release some capital, the paper said. Mr Packer, who has divested himself of his father's media interests and is focusing on creating a global casino empire, was listed as Australia's third richest man last year.
Since then, the size of his fortune has shrunk further, which may explain why a $3.7m swimming pool and pavilion in the grounds of his sprawling property, Ellerston, in the Hunter Valley, north of Sydney, remains incomplete.
He is said to be overweight and suffering depression as a result of his financial woes, and has not been seen in public for some time. In recent weeks, he has sold his stake in the family's pastoral company, which operates 17 cattle stations in northern Australia, for about $425m.
However, he still owns one of Australia's leading golf courses, an 18-hole course designed by Greg Norman, situated at Ellerston and maintained in championship condition year-round.
Montana Man Arrested for 8th DUI
Missoulian.com:
A 38-year-old Pablo man was arrested for his eighth drunken-driving offense early Wednesday after a sheriff's deputy spotted him driving with his headlights off.
Steven Lee Rodriguez was allegedly driving his truck slowly through a parking lot on West Broadway when he was stopped by an officer. According to charging documents, Rodriguez smelled of alcohol and appeared intoxicated. His eyes were red, glassy and bloodshot, and his speech was slow.
Rodriguez admitted he had been drinking, and a background check of his name revealed seven prior DUI convictions.
Rodriguez also had a felony warrant out of Lake County for $20,000. That warrant, issued after his seventh DUI, is based on a petition to revoke the sentence that Rodriguez received after his sixth DUI.
Rodriguez refused to perform field sobriety tests on the roadside, records state, and was transported to the jail. After failing a walk-and-turn maneuver, Rodriguez stated “I'm drunk,” according to records.

Bizarre: Snowmobiler Blamed for 57 Dead Ducks
Snowmobiler blamed for death of 57 ducks -
A single snowmobiler in Fond du Lac, Wis., likely killed 57 mallard ducks found on a partially iced-over river, investigators say.
Investigators said initial signs indicated one snowmobiler crossed the frozen portion of Fond du Lac River and skipped across the area of open water, hitting and killing ducks wading in the open space, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel said Wednesday.
Department of Natural Resources warden supervisor George Protogere said signs at the scene of the crime indicated the unidentified snowmobiler made more than one pass at the wading ducks Tuesday.
The incident came mere days after a group of snowmobilers in Waupaca County herded several deer together before striking the animals with their vehicles.
That incident left four deer dead and forced the euthanization of a fifth deer, the Journal Sentinel said.

Bernie Madoff Effect
On Fox Business News last week, Dolly Lenz, vice chairman of Prudential Douglas Elliman, discussed how the Bernard Madoff scandal is affecting New York real estate. Lenz said Elliman has already lost six deals because buyers who lost money with Madoff no longer have cash for down payments, and she expects more deals will fall through. Lenz said that in New York and in Boca Raton in Florida, sellers whose deals have fallen through and now looking to unload their homes to anyone who can pay with cash. And although there are fewer people buying homes, most buildings still want buyers who can pay cash, and won't consider buyers who need financing. Lenz said, however, that although the median price in the city has fallen, the price per square foot is still strong.

California to Stop Tax Refunds and Welfare Checks
California controller to suspend tax refunds, welfare checks:
State Controller John Chiang announced today that his office would suspend tax refunds, welfare checks, student grants and other payments owed to Californians starting Feb. 1, as a result of the state's cash crisis.
Chiang said he had no choice but to stop making some $3.7 billion in payments in the absence of action by the governor and lawmakers to close the state's nearly $42-billion budget deficit. More than half of those payments are tax refunds.
The controller said the suspended payments could be rolled into IOUs if California still lacked sufficient cash to pay its bills come March or April....
The payments to be frozen include nearly $2 billion in tax refunds; $300 million in cash grants for needy families and the aged, blind and disabled; and $13 million in grants for college students.

Lamborghini Orange County, formerly the world’s largest dealer of the Italian luxury vehicles that sell from upwards of $200,000 apiece, closed in November without explanation....
The lawsuit says the owners of the Orange County dealership and its affiliate in Calabasas unloaded 54 cars in eight days – accounting for 8 percent of all the Lamborghinis sold in the United States during all of 2008.
The lawsuit says VW Credit, which covered the cost of Lamborghini O.C.’s cars in advance of sale, doesn’t know where the proceeds went. But it didn’t get the money....
In a separate suit filed in Orange County Superior Court, East-West Bank is suing the Keuylians and Lamborghini Orange County for defaulting on a $3 million loan, for which they failed make payments in November and December.
Another lawsuit filed in Las Vegas seeks $340,000 from Vik Keuylian for failing to pay him for a 2008 Lamborghini Murcielago.

UPI is reporting that writer and actor Sam Shepard has been charged with DUI in Illinois.
Sam Shepard, the writer and actor who won a Pulitzer Prize for his play "Buried Child," was charged with drunken driving Saturday in Illinois.
Police in Normal, Ill., stopped Shepard for speeding at about 2 a.m., the Bloomington Pantagraph reported. Lt. Mark Kotte said Shepard drove his Chevy Tahoe over the curb as he came to a stop.
"The way he pulled up upon the curb, it appeared he was driving under the influence," Kotte said.
Shepard was released from the McLean County Jail Saturday after posting bail.
Shepard told police he had been at a bar, Fat Jack's, in Bloomington, Ill., and was on his way to a Best Western hotel in Normal when he was pulled over.

Teenager Reports Herself for Drunk Driving
The Associated Press is reporting on the unusual case of a teenager who called 911 and turned herself in for drunk driving.
Police get calls about drunken drivers all the time, but rarely do they come from the alleged offender. A 17-year-old girl in Bismarck called 911 on New Year's Eve "to report herself driving under the influence," police Lt. Randy Ziegler said. "I've never heard of such a thing happening, and neither has anyone here."
The girl told authorities her location shortly before midnight Wednesday and officers found her in a parked car near downtown, Ziegler said. She failed a sobriety test and was arrested for failing to have control of her vehicle while intoxicated.
The girl, whose name was not released because of her age, was not cited for drunken driving, Ziegler said.
"Her keys were in her purse and she was parked," Ziegler said. "She did tell us that she had been driving around for hours."
