(African migrant) Machine Operator in Deadly Philly Building Collapse Who Spoke With Victim Learns Fate      As he drank coffee at his job site in the mornings, demolition subcontractor Sean Benschop often talked with Borbor Davis, who worked at the adjacent Salvation Army in downtown Philadelphia. The men, both immigrants, asked where the other was from. "I say I'm from Guyana. He say I'm from Liberia," Benschop testified Friday before he was sentenced for his role in a 2013 building collapse that killed the 68-year-old Davis and five others. "When I learned ... he was dead, I couldn't believe it." Benschop, who was operating heavy machinery the day of the collapse despite taking Percocet and marijuana for medical problems, was sentenced to 7 1/2 to 15 years in prison. Co-defendant Griffin Campbell was the cut-rate contractor who gutted the building from the inside, destabilizing it, rather than take it down floor by floor. He was sentenced to 15 to 30 years. City Treasurer Nancy Winkler called it "disturbing and distressing" that her family will have to go through a second trial in civil court to seek justice for others involved in the building demolition that killed her 24-year-old daughter, Anne Bryan. |

Fayetteville home invader receives a little frying pan justice  FAYETTEVILLE - Glenn Tew used his favorite frying pan to fight off an intruder. "The fact that he would come in and invade our own home and just do the kind of damage he had done, no one should have to put up with that kind of mess." Tew said. Thursday, just before midnight, Tew went to check on a noise in his den, and confronted 21 year old Sheldon Dix as Dix broke through a glass door. "And I hollered at him, and he proceeded to come charging at me trying to knock me out, we kind of locked horns and fought on the floor." Tew said. Tew's wife heard the commotion and ran to help her husband. She tossed the frying pan to her husband. "I think my wife hit him in with a metal trash can a couple of times" Tew said. "And once I got the frying pan, I proceeded to give him a good dose of that." Police say just minutes before the break-in, Dix savagely attacked a mother who was waiting in her car at a nearby church parking lot. They said when another man saw the attack and tried to intervene, Dix starting beating on the man. The woman in the car then pulled out a handgun and shot at the attacker. "The victim in the car happened to be a concealed-permit holder. She had a legal right. She retrieved her firearm and fired off two rounds," said a Police Lt. He said the suspect fled across a parking lot and ran down the street. When he broke into the Tew home, he got a lot more than he bargained for. Glenn Tew hopes he can salvage his favorite frying pan. - (Black-on-white) |

Terry Yelvington case: Arrest made in Polk County (black-on-White) homicide  POLK COUNTY -- A convicted felon "with a vendetta" was arrested Thursday and charged with first-degree murder in the August 2015 killing of a Lake Alfred softball coach, the Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said Friday. Alfred Ranard Jenkins, 54, is accused in the shooting death of James "Terry" Yelvington, 60, found Aug. 11 in front of his home on the 700 block of South Todhunter Way. Jenkins, of Winter Haven, and Yelvington previously had worked at the same company, Packaging Corporation of America. Yelvington, who still worked there, was the president of a workers union and had input in the hiring and firing of employees. During the course of the investigation, several coworkers mentioned Jenkins, who had been fired in 2009 related to his role as union treasurer. After Jenkins' firing, Yelvington found out that Jenkins had stolen union funds and forged union checks. Yelvington reported the crime, which resulted in Jenkins' 2011 arrest for grand theft. An acquaintance said that Jenkins told him that he went to Yelvington's home and had a physical altercation with him in his garage because Yelvington had gotten him fired and arrested. Neighbors later found Yelvington dead near his driveway and told investigators they heard gunshots in the early morning hours of Aug. 11. "Alfred Jenkins drove to Terry Yelvington's house with a vendetta. This convicted felon, who has been in and out of jail in four different states, and to state prison for violent crimes, blamed this hard-working, honest family man for getting arrested and fired, and because of that, he brutally and senselessly murdered Terry Yelvington," Judd said. In addition to first-degree murder, Jenkins is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, armed robbery and tampering with evidence. - (Black-on-white) |

Young (White) man gunned down in Jack's robbery (by cold-blooded black killer) had just started new job, was 'eager for future'  Family, friends and Jack's restaurants are raising money to cover the funeral costs for a 21-year-old Sumiton man who was killed at the Pleasant Grove restaurant Wednesday. Kayla Mahaffey set up a GoFundMe account in memory of Ashton Blake Roberts – her cousin, friend and former classmate. "He had just gotten a new job and was so eager for his future," Mahaffey said. Roderick Derrell King, 19, was taken into custody early Thursday on warrants for capital murder and first-degree robbery. King, who is still awaiting trial for a 2014 case where police say shots were fired during a robbery at Burger King in Hueytown, is now being held without bond. Roberts was standing in line at Jack's on Wednesday night when police say King, brandishing a rifle, stormed the Park Road restaurant and ordered everyone inside to the floor. Roberts, it appears, froze and hesitated, and was shot in the face. - (Black-on-white) |

(Black) found guilty in 2006 killing of (White) Metra police officer - shot twice in the back of his head by cowardly black assassin  Every phone call over the past nine years has filled Pam Cook with a sense of dread. She worried that each could be yet another update about the investigation and legal proceedings related to the 2006 shooting death of her husband Thomas Cook, a Metra police officer. On Thursday, Pam Cook said she and her two children can enjoy life again after a Cook County jury convicted 28-year-old Jemetric Nicholson of first-degree murder in the killing of her husband, three months after a jury failed to reach a verdict the first time Nicholson was tried for the crime. "I don't have to worry about the phone ringing and being brought back to his murder again," she said. The jury deliberated for two days and was sequestered overnight before reaching its decision. Prosecutors said Nicholson worked with two other men to sneak up on Cook as he sat inside his marked squad car on Sept. 27, 2006. The officer was on special patrol near the 147th Street Metra station in Harvey when he was shot twice in the back of the head. - (Black-on-white) |

Online relationship turns into criminal investigation - black scams (adjective) white woman out of $30k MILWAUKEE —A woman met a man online, only to be be taken for nearly $30,000. The Washington state woman said she was drawn in by 48-year-old Wayne Triggs of New Berlin, after they met on an online dating site. She soon traveled to visit with Triggs, who used an alias of Dwayne Boss, telling her he was a wealthy former player for the Green Bay Packers. “He told me he wanted to marry me. I mean, so yeah, we were dating. OK, I thought we were dating. I don't know what was going on in his head, but in my mind we were dating,” the woman said. As part of the scheme, according to the criminal complaint, Triggs convinced the victim he was the owner of something called the Boss Family Development Center and Preschool on King Drive in Milwaukee. It doesn't exist. Triggs went so far as to set up a fake website for the center in case she checked it out. She said he convinced her to invest in flipping foreclosed houses, and by the time she realized it was a scam, she was out nearly $30,000. The victim said she's learned some hard lessons, especially about online dating. - (Black-on-white) |
