One off-duty (White) Akron police officer killed, second wounded in bar shooting by black
  AKRON, Ohio -- The first time Kenan Ivery walked into Papa Don's Pub late Saturday night, police said he was unruly. When he came in a second time, he pulled out a gun and eventually shot five people, killing one off-duty Akron police officer, wounding another, and seriously injuring three customers, police said. Justin Winebrenner, 32, died after he was shot in the torso trying to escort Ivery from the bar about 2 a.m. Sunday, Akron police Chief James Nice said at an afternoon press conference. Ivery, 35, came into the Papa Don's and was being unruly. The bar's management asked Ivery to leave, and he did. But he returned a short time later and drew a gun. Frightened, the bar's customers looked to Winebrenner -- who was engaged to an employee there and therefore a familiar face -- for help. Winebrenner approached Ivery to "deal with him as a law enforcement officer." Ivery opened fire, hitting Winebrenner, the second off-duty Akron officer, and three customers. Ivery fled the bar on foot, and Akron police officers launched a manhunt for the 35 year old. K-9 officers sniffed him out a short time later lying down in an empty field by a rail yard. - (NNN reader link) - (Black-on-white) |

Two men convicted of raping a woman at an apartment building that was later set on fire were sentenced Thursday with the judge presiding over the case delivering a powerful statement. Carlos Love was one of two men convicted of raping the woman at the Jason Manor Apartments in Detroit in March. He was convicted of three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and five counts of assault with intent to commit penetration. Love was in court Thursday and pleaded to Judge James Callahan for leniency. He didn't get it. Instead, Callahan delivered a moving speech to Love about what a man should have done. "Rather than taking advantage of and destroying a woman's life, you, conceivably, have destroyed it," Callahan said. Love, 21, was sentenced to 14-30 years and ordered to register as a sex offender. The other man convicted, Dantraz Oliver-McClung, received the same sentence.

A state court has upheld a 25- to 50-year prison sentence for a man convicted in a Harrisburg sex-for-cash case that police said turned violent. The September 2011 incident resulted in an attempted indecent assault conviction for 50-year-old William Samuel Jenkins, who already had served a sentence for an earlier sex assault conviction in Maine. The Harrisburg attack for which Jenkins was convicted occurred after he left a city bar with a woman who "had previous involvement with prostitution." Jenkins propositioned the woman, and, at first, she agreed to have sex with him for $40. The two went into an alley but when Jenkins was unable to perform sexually the woman changed her mind and "told (Jenkins) multiple times to stop." Instead, Jenkins choked the woman and slammed her against a brick wall, causing her to black out. When she awoke, Jenkins was trying to unbuckle her belt.
