DUI FAIL! A Highly Intoxicated Retired Police Officer Rams a Debarking School Bus Killing 1 Kid and Injuring 4 Others, with a Pregnant Woman Chaser ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Meet 48 y/o John Camfield, a retired law man who reportedly worked for ten different police agencies in Mississippi (including Yalobusha County Sheriff's Office, Tunica County Sheriff's Office, Oxford Police Department and Hernando Police Department) prior to retiring and moving to Davenport, Polk County, Florida in 2012.   That's his mug shot below.



On Thursday, April 27, 2017, at about 5:00 pm, the former cop was driving so drunk that he did not remember crashing his car into a parked school bus that was debarking children (a scene that was reportedly described by Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd as "hitting the children and scattering them like a bowling ball through bowling pins") and then careening into another vehicle that was occupied by a pregnant woman.




Five children were injured, including 13 y/o Jahiem Roberterson (who is pictured below and) who died from his injuries.  Of the four other injured children one of them, 14 y/o Juan Mena had to be airlifted to Arnold Palmer Children's Hospital in Orlando, suffering life-threatening injuries and is reportedly in critical condition.




Coincidentally, at the tprecise moment of the crash Polk County Deputy Sheriff J.J. Quintana (pictured below) was at that moment on the telephone with his daughter who happened to be at the bus stop when the deadly crash took place.  




Deputy Quintana ran, barefoot, to the crime scene and found his daughter safe, but immediately saw the carnage left when Camfield had hit five of his daughter's fellow Dundee Ridge Middle Academy students as they were walking away from the bus stop.  




Deputy Quintana arrested Camfield, who had reportedly stumbled out of his car down the street after having struck another car and injuring it's pregnant woman occupant (no, that is not "her" below; it's just a pic of a pregnant woman driving a car for illustration).




Per Deputy Quintana:  "I've been in this job for four years and I've seen a lot.  [But] Nothing compares to hearing your daughter and not being able to help."   



Deputy Quintana reported that Camfield was so drunk that after the crash he had no idea an accident had even taken place.  His BAC was .14, and that was 7 hours after his arrest (this not withstanding the fact that Camfield had initially refused to take a breath test after his arrest).  Camfield did, however, take the opportunity to chat-up his would be one-time colleagues by "critiquing the steps they were taking and complimenting them...  He said, 'You guys know what you are doing around here.'"


For his sh*t decision making Camfield now faces 11 serious felony charges, including DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide and is being held in the Polk County Jail on $600,000 bail. 




When it comes to the subject of drinking and driving, the best advice that you are ever going to hear is:  "Don't do it!  Get a DD (Designated Driver), not a DUI".



Be smart{er than Former Cop John Camfield}: Don't drink and drive, but, if you do, just say "NO{thing}", don't blow (in FL your 2nd subsequent refusal is a crime) and call me stat at 305-381-8686, 305-798-2220 or 1-888-SHARK-8-1.

For the Love of Beer: SD Man Arrested for Obstruction of Justice after Defying First Responders & Entering Smoldering Building to Rescue Bud Ice Beer ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




I wish that I could introduce you to 56 y/o Michael Casteel of Sioux Falls, South Dakota but I just can't find a picture of the guy.  Still, after reading many, many accounts I have to guess that Casteel looks (and thinks) something like this...






Casteel earned Sioux Falls fame after a fire had broken out in an apartment building at around 12.30pm on Sunday, April 22nd, 2017. 





It reportedly took responding fire department personnel about 10 minutes to put out the flames and, during that time, Sioux Falls Fire Rescue first responders were busy treating resident on the scene, including three people who were injured in the blaze, one of whom had to be taken to Avera McKennan Hospital to be treated for burns and smoke inhalation.





But not Casteel.  During the pandemonium police report that Casteel pushed past officers and firefighters in an effort to repeatedly re-enter the burning multifamily residence.  And why was Casteel so insistent on going into the smoldering building?  To save his child? To save his pet?  To save his heirlooms?  Nope...  Casteel defied Fire and Police personnel's repeated orders to save what he held most dear:  Two cans of Bud Ice Premium, and Casteel did emerge from the house carrying two cans of Bud Ice Premium...





but after suffering the heat of the smouldering home Casteel didn't have an opportunity to crack a cold one; as, for the love of beer Casteel's valiant acts got him arrested on two counts of obstruction of justice and booked into the Minnehaha, SD County Jail.





A spokesperson for the Sioux Falls Police Department reportedly slammed Casteel's suds-saving heroics as an instance of "poor judgment".


Memo to the Folks continued:   In Florida there is no crime called “Obstruction of Justice”.  Instead, in FL “Obstruction of Justice” is an umbrella term that refers to a group of crimes that all fall under the common category of offenses that are known as obstruction of justice.  The most commonly charged obstruction of justice crimes (and for you OCD types I am listing them in alphabetical order) are: Accessory After the Fact (see F.S. 777.03) Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer (see F.S. 784.07) Disobeying a Lawful Order by Law Enforcement (see F.S.  316.072(3)) Falsely Impersonating an Officer (see F.S. 843.08) Escape (see F.S. 944.40) Harassing a Witness (see F.S. 914.22(3)) Introduction of Contraband into a Correctional Facility (see F.S. 951.22 and F.S. 944.47) Perjury (see Chapter 837 F.S.) Providing False Information in Bail Application (see F.S. 903.035) Resisting Officer With Violence (see F.S. 843.01) Resisting Officer Without Violence (see F.S. 843.02) Tampering with Evidence (see F.S. 918.13) and Tampering with a Witness (see F.S. 914.22(1)).

Homeless FL Woman is Arrested in a Prostitution Sting after Agreeing to Perform Oral Sex for $25 & some McNuggets ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Meet 22 y/o Alex Direeno of the mean streets of Bradenton, FL (which, given her circumstances is not a nice thing to say, and I apologize, as Alex is reportedly homeless, a condition that I wish on no one but which, apparently also does not prevent my sarcastic streak... any-who...).  That's her below....





Alex was arrested, presumably during a sting op, by an undercover Manatee County, FL Deputy Sheriff, and was charged with both prostitution and possession of drug paraphernalia.





Apparently, after being invited into the deputy's car at a Marathon gas station, and under the guise of being a John who reportedly "wanted to get [his] d*ck sucked", Alex offered the U/C Deputy oral sex in exchange for $25.00 and an unspecified amount Chicken McNuggets (presumably to drown down the taste... there I go again...). 





The couple drove off, as soon as the price was agreed upon the U/C displayed the cash and then, like magic, out of nowhere, a swarm of detectives swooped in....





A search of Alex's purse - incident to her arrest - disclosed drug paraphernalia (in the form of hypodermic syringes, small baggies, a spoon and a burnt glass pipe), so at least the Manatee County Sheriff's Office can consider this a major collar.





Memo to the Folks:   This case was paid for with tax dollars.  In this case it was only at the expense of Manatee County, FL residents, but believe me when I tell you that most every police department wastes both tax money and their limited resources on precluding commerce and consensual adult activity, instead of either solving or preventing real crimes.   This is plain old...
Memo to the Folks continued:   As for Alex, because she was predisposed to commit the offense, no, she was not entrapped.  The law is clear that it is not entrapment just because the cops (or their CI) provided you with the opportunity, means or facilities to commit a crime, or even that they used trickery or subterfuge in the process, or even that they were present and pretended to aid or assist you in the commission of a crime.   Rather pleading entrapment succeeds or fails on the issue of your “predisposition” to commit the offense, and you were “predisposed” to commit an offense if you were ready and willing to do so when the opportunity presented itself, regardless of police involvement, persuasion, trickery or subterfuge. 




Memo to the Folks continued: Please watch my VideoFAQ / YouTube Webisode on "What is Entrapment?"

Parenting FAIL! School Staff Call Cops after Discovering that the Father of an 11 y/o Boy uses a Taser on the Child as a Form of Discipline ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1

Meet 49 y/o Darryl Ingram.  That's his mug shot below...





Daryl, who reportedly is a medical assistant at the VA, was arrested for child abuse after staff from his 11 y/o son's school in Goodyear, AZ (which is just outside of Phoenix) observed various abrasions on the boy's body while he was sitting in class and called the cops.

The boy reportedly told police that his father had used a Taser on his shoulder, arm, and legs several times over the past year when he didn't do his homework.  The boy reportedly told police his father would give him a choice between the stun gun or being "whooped" 40 times with a metal cane, and that he would opt for the Taser, which he claimed that his father told him "was like a toy and wasn't charged all the way".




Police report that Daryl initially denied owning a Taser, claiming that he was using a phone app to scare his son, but cops located a Taser after other family members advised that Daryl in fact had one.




Daryl, a former army veteran, would later tell the press that the Taser was meant to be a scare tactic and not for discipline, stating: "I was telling him this is a toy compared to what police use.  If your behavior and the way you're doing things continues on, somewhere down the line, this is something that is going to be used on you. You have to be obedient."





Meantime, the child has been removed from Daryl's care pending resolution of his child abuse (and presumable DCF) charges.





Memo to Daryl:   Wtf is wrong with you?  I have an 11 y/o son you moron.  Would you like to know what happens to tough guys who taser little children in prison?  Ask Zeus...
