"Disney on Ice" or "On Ice in Disney" ~ 51 y/o Man Caught in Police Sting with Disney Dress for 10 y/o Fake-Cyber-Girl

Meet 51 y/o Michael Doherty (that's his U.S. Marshall mug shot below)....





MD is a former youth sports coach from Cedar Park, Texas, who traveled to a hotel in Lake Mary, Florida earlier this month, armed with a "Disney dress" for a 10 y/o girl, believing that he was meeting said 10 y/o girl and her father for sex - but who was instead hauled away in cuffs as part of a police internet sting operation.

Undercover federal agents first messaged MD in March, 2015 after determining that he had posted an online advertisement saying that he enjoyed incestuous sexual relationships. MD thought that he was messaging with a man who was having sex with his 10 y/o daughter. In his responses to the "father" MD said that he had sexually abused four (4) children between the ages of eight (8) and twelve (12) within the last three (3) years.  MD sent nude photos of himself for the father to show to his daughter and said that he wanted to watch him abuse the young girl over Skype.  In late March, MD and the "father" began discussing a meeting so that MD could watch the man abuse his daughter in person, and they agreed to meet on April 8, 2015 when MD was traveling to the area for business. 

Q:     Is it possible that I have a warrant for my arrest?  The father of my 5 month old son just told me that there is a warrant out for my arrest. He is the biological father of my son, but he is not on the birth certificate or anything. He has no legal obligation to my son and I have not put him on child support. We lived 4 hours away from each other in Florida, but I moved to Texas 3 days ago because my family lost the house in Florida. He was upset and said he wanted the address to where I was in Texas. I didn't give it to him because he was threatening me. I guess he called the police in Texas and now he claims there is a warrant for my arrest for kidnapping. Is that even possible? There is no court order and he is technically not my son's legal father as of yet. What are my options? What should I do? Florida has jurisdiction of my son.

CA Burglar gets Nabbed After Snacking on Tater Tots and Taking a Nap on the Sofa of the House that he Broke Into

Unfortunately, scour the internet as I did, I simply cannot find a picture of 44 y/o James Adams of Pacerville, CA, who was arrested last Thursday, April 23rd, 2015, for burglary and resisting arrest.  

The victim, a Petaluma, CA woman, had walked downstairs from her second floor bedroom at about 2:00 pm last Thursday to find Adams, a stranger, asleep on her couch.  She quickly ran upstairs, shut herself in the bedroom and dialed 911.





The homeowner provided a detailed description to cops who were able to quickly respond and set up a perimeter.  The woman remained on the phone with police dispatch until they had surrounded the home and was then instructed to to flee the house quickly.





As she ran down the stairs Adams awoke.  He too bolted out, the back door being his choice of egress, kicking down fence boards and gaining entry into a neighbors lawn, where two (2) awaiting Petaluma Cops were lying in wait.





After a brief struggle Adams, and a taser discharge or two (2), Adams was cuffed.  After a stop at the hospital he was medically cleared and taken to the Sonoma County Jail, where he is not stranger (reportedly having previously been booked for narcotics, weapons and battery on police officers) with priors in both CA and OR.





What makes this story different from most others is that Adams broke into this home and decided to take a nap on the sofa, but only after pillaging the fridge and baking himself some Tater Tots (yes, you read that right, Adams broke, entered, baked Tater Tots, sat himself on the couch and took a nap).





Yes, I'm seriously...





Apparently James Adams is cat "nap" burglar.

Q:     Ok I'm going to try to sum it up as briefly as i can... He went to prison for two years for 1 vop for depositing with intent to defraud, 5 vops for grand theft motor vehicle, 2 vops for uttering a forged instrument, 1 vop for possession of controlled substance, and 1 vop for grand theft third degree, plus new charges of 1 obtaining food lodge with intent to defraud, 1 uttering a forged instrument, 1 grand theft third degree, 21 worthless check charges, 1 organized fraud, 2 obtaining property for worthless check charges and 1 counterfeit payment charge. He did his time and got out July 1st 2014. He then was arrested again Jan 2015, less than 7 months from being released and got charged a possession of parapherenalia and or use, a possession of meth ( he had 2 grams on him according to police report) and a driving while license is suspended or revoked habitual. He also has had several other charges previously over the years since 2006. He seems to be on cloud nine and thinks he walks on water and that hes going to walk with probation. I'm not judge or lawyer but that is just crazy to me if he does, there doesn't seem to be any possible way he isn't going to do more time. What could he be looking at?
