Man is Arrested in Police Internet Sting when he Flies from TX to PA for "Mommy/Daughter" Sex ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1





Meet 55 y/o Ray Wickliffe Howland.  That is the creepy bastard's mug shot below...




Ray is, er was, a Senior IT Manager for American Airlines.  




Oh, I almost forget, American Airlines is repainting their fleet with pretty new logos...




Anyhow... Ray was arrested on Friday, June 26th, 2015 in Moon, Pennsylvania after having flown into town from Arlington, Texas with plans to have a "threesome" with a 32 y/o mother AND her 10 y/o daughter.  Instead, and fortunately, Ray was arrested and booked into the Allegheny County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bail for charges of unlawful contact with a minor, criminal attempt of involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a child and criminal attempt of rape of a child.  (You can watch the video of WPXI's reporting on the incident here.)




I can only imagine that Ray must've believed that the mom and daughter tandem looked something like this (Ray, you are a sick f'ing bastard)...




But in truth the mom and daughter tandem looked something like this...



  
(I wish...) I'd like to give that guy carte blanche with Ray for 15 minutes or  so in an interrogation room with recording equipment which is awaiting a service call, but I both digress and exaggerate as, in truth the mom and daughter tandem probably looked something like this...





Or like this...




That, above, is a picture from "Operation Black Veil", which you can read about here and which has nothing to do with our antagonist but which is a shining example of a "police internet sting operation" that went down in Green Bay, WI in 2013.  In Ray's case he was sending emails back and forth with a detective who was posing as a 32-year-old mother with a 10-year-old daughter.  According to the criminal complaint, Ray allegedly said in their exchanges that he was going to be in town for business and wanted to meet up to have sex. In emails, Ray reportedly said that he was looking to meet "a family or a couple of girls'.  Per a statement which was put out by Attorney General Kathleen Kane:  "He [Ray] explained in detail, through email and text messages, the sexual acts he hoped to engage in."




In case there is any doubt, authorities are reportedly also investigating whether or not Ray tried to organize other such meetings with minors as he allegedly told law enforcement that he had been talking with a man in Texas who sent him pictures of his 12-year-old daughter, who had "met with other people".  Not coincidentally police reportedly found a photo of that girl on Ray's iPad along with other communications with that Texas family.  Memo to Ray:  In case you did not get the message above (that you are a sick, twisted, f*ck) get this... It's me, predicting your future....




Memo to the Folks:  You can read all of them here but "Haber's Social Media Rule #4" states that "Cops literally troll the internet looking for folks who go to, look in, download from or upload to targeted (and usually, but not always "deviant") sites. They also conduct internet "stings", posing as children or deviants and looking to bag anyone foolish enough to take the bait."  Fortunately, Ray Wickliffe Howland is one such fool who was... 



More fortunate still is the fact that he won't be a threat to anyone but himself for a long, long time.

Aerial Surveillance Leads to Seizure of 23,000 Pot Plants worth $100 Mil in Macon, GA ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Macon, County Georgia Sheriff John Cary Bittick is on top of his county, literally. It has been reported that "sky-high aerial surveillance" was used to discover 23,000 marijuana plants worth an estimated $100 million growing on a plot of land in Macon County, GA.  Although Macon County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Allison Selman-Willis did say "that much pot is not hard to miss when you're in the air", it is unknown just what equipment the Sheriff's Office employed (i.e. drones, planes, helicopters, satellites, global mapping computer technology, etc) to make the discovery.  





Although the initial observation and identification was made earlier the matter was kept quiet until June 23rd, 2015 when members of the Bibb County Sheriffs Office, Butts County Sheriffs Office, Lamar County Sheriffs Office, Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Georgia State Patrol, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of Natural Resources were all called in to help harvest and dismantle the crop.  The plants were seized and loaded into a full-size dump truck, but no arrests have been made. 





Memo to the GA Legislature:  When all is said and done I'd be much obliged if you would see fit to kindly tally up and then to publish the full amount of funds expended during the course of this particular investigation, including the total number of manpower and man-hours, expense relative to investigation, operations, equipment, transportation, storage and even "scrap" costs from start to finish.  I am curious what the bottom dollar cost to the good taxpayers of the Peach State was versus the potential net profit in taxes were you sage enough to decriminalize and tax the product.  I don't know what you spent in this little escapade (which, by the way had the by-product of producing oxygen and hemp... commodities which naturally occur as a result of marijuana cultivation) but even my pathetic math skills tell me that a meager 6% sales tax (and I imagine that folks would happily pay a significantly higher tax percentage for recreational marijuana, in fact I believe that it is 12.9% in CO) on $100 million is $6 million dollars.  I wonder if you could have used that net gain instead of whatever ridiculous net loss you expended in your destined-to-fail war on drugs, well at least this particular (should-not-be-)controlled substance.  I suggest that you wake up and smell the sensimilla (you 17th century minded, prurient douchebags).

What do you do when your Probation Officer is giving you a hard time? ~ "Best Answer" on AVVO ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1

Q:      Is there anything I can do to help?   I'm on GA 1st offender probation for assault.  I was placed on this in 2012.  In the court order Judge Brown states that it can be terminated once all terms are met but my PO states that all she can do is unsupervised due to the crime even though the court document plainly states differently.  I've just finished up my degree and received a job offer is there anything that I can do or someone who will help?




A:    Chosen as "Best Answer" by Asker on AVVO!



Best Answer
chosen by asker
Answered You must listen to your PO, your PO must must listen to your Judge and your Judge must listen to your lawyer.

Never, ever argue with your PO.  You might win the war but you will lose the battle each and every time.  If your Judge left that door open (the ET door) then your best bet is to hire a Grovetown, GA criminal defense lawyer to prepare, file, calendar and litigate a legally sound and persuasive motion for the early termination ("ET") of your probation. 

I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.

MO Man Asks Cops for Directions & gets a Police Escort to Vet Clinic for Sick Alligator ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Cops are, of necessity, always on alert.  They never know what to expect at their next dispatch, what eventuality may surface at their next encounter or what surprise may next appear out of nowhere.  In that regard I submit as "Exhibit A" Ken Henderson of Independence, Missouri and his 21 y/o pet alligator, named "Babe"...




On Saturday, June 27th, 2015 two (2) Wentzville, Missouri Police Officers (Anderson and Houtz) were on routine patrol when they were stopped by Ken Henderson, who was desperately seeking directions to the nearest hospital for his very green friend in the back seat.  Ken explained to the Officers that he owns Reptile Worlds, in Independence, Missouri, that he was on his way to "Animal Talk", a medical center in Wentzville but that he had gotten lost along the way (per Google Maps it's a 200.2 mile / 2 hour and 57 minute drive from Independence, MO to Wentzville, MO).






No doubt both well aware and eager to do their job (i.e. "to serve and protect") the officers helped take Henderson and "Babe" to the nearest animal clinic by providing a police escort, and they got a picture with Babe for their good deed.





As it turns out "Animal Talk" was hosting an event wherein it was offering free exams that day to introduce it's new veterinarian Dr. Jacob Lucas.  Henderson had been concerned about 21 y/o Babe because he'd seemed sick as of late, so he pounced on the opportunity at a free veterinary examination for Babe.




Once they arrived Dr. Lucas gave Babe an X-ray and discovered a heart-shaped stone in Babe's stomach.





Doctors are not yet sure as to how they will remove the swallowed rock but babe is expected to recover.  We're not so sure about Officers Anderson and Houtz, but they definitely have a unique new close encounter of the reptilian kind to report.
