Parenting WIN! FL Mom Turns her Teenage Son into Cops after figuring out that he was Burglarizing Neighborhood Cars ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Meet 37 y/o Lakesha Robinson of Fort Myers, FL.  That's her below...




Lakesha is both a good citizen and a good parent.  When she caught her 15 y/o son using an iPhone that she didn't recognize her alarm bells went off and she decided to investigate for herself just how her son got his paws on the pricey cell phone.




So Lakesha took it upon herself to track down the true owner of the iPhone, who told her that it had recently been stolen from inside of his truck, along with his wallet and credit cards.




Lakesha then told the man to "Call the police, do whatever you have to do. Because if my son is involved, or anybody else, they’re going to jail, because he shouldn't be out there doing this.", and apparently that is just what the man did, as Lakesha's 15 y/o son, Chris Salters (pictured below), was arrested on four (4) counts of burglary of a conveyance (i.e. stealing property from inside of someone else's car).




Lakesha, who suffered with her own criminal background (admittedly and reportedly having sold drugs up until 2007 and having been arrested for criminal mischief and theft), was truly broken up about her son's actions and absolutely does not want her son to make similar mistakes.





Per Lakesha:  "I lived this life and I don’t want him to live this life. I’m not losing my son to the system or to the streets. My son isn’t going to be a statistic.  If I had to do this so he does better, it’s how I’m going to do it. I’m just not allowing my son to take that path. I’m gonna stop it ahead of time. This could’ve ended way differently. Someone could’ve caught him, shot him and asked questions later."  (Lakesha gave an interview to Inside Edition, which you can watch by clicking here.)  Lakesha is determined that her son come to understand the full magnitude of what he's done so that he can forge a different path than the one she has suffered through.  "They don’t know what I went through and they don’t know my story. I’m actually saving my son’s life because if I don’t do it now, nobody will do it."




Per 15 y/o Chris:  "I don’t want to see my mom cry. I apologize for stealing."  And now per me....  Memo to 15 y/o Chris Salters:

Alabama Man Conspires with Cops to Conduct a Phony Armed Take-Down so that he can Propose to his Girlfriend ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Apparently it's an epidemic...




I recently authored a blog post about a Kansas man who enlisted the help of his girl's co-workers (she is a corrections officer at the local jail) to stage his arrest at a time when she was on-duty so that he could surprise her with an engagement ring (please see: http://blog.criminallaw.miami/2016/12/man-conspires-with-cop-to-fake-his.html) and then it happened again, this time at a gas station in Mobile, Alabama...




Mobile Police, armed with unloaded stun guns, duped 28 y/o Shawna Blackmon into thinking that her boyfriend, 33 y/o Daiwon McPherson, was armed, on the run and being taken down while they were fueling up Daiwon's motorcycle at a gas station on Friday night, December 9th, 2016.




Unbeknownst to Shawna, Daiwon had conspired with Mobile police officers to fake the felony arrest so that he could get down on a knee and propose to his sure to be terrified girlfriend in an elaborate stunt which was captured on film by their amused, and in-the-know, friends (you can watch the video by clicking here).  Here's how it went down... 




Daiwon and Shawna were riding tandem with a group of friends, all on motorcycles, and after they pulled into a gas station police appeared, pulled out unloaded stun guns and demanded that Daiwon get on the ground.  As Daiwon followed orders a terrified Shawna tried to diffuse the situation, and when the officers demand that he gives up his gun, instead of a weapon Daiwon pulled out an engagement ring.




Shawna, quickly going from being frightened to being overjoyed, could not hold back her tears, and she was quickly comforted by an officer.  




Daiwon's friend Tyler Colvin posted a video of the unorthodox marriage proposal on Facebook where he reportedly said that Daiwon had "created and fed" Shawna a story throughout the day so that she would believe him when he told her that they were on the run.  Per Daiwon:  "I really wanted to bring the bike life and the police together. I can't believe I actually pulled this off."; and per Shawna:  "I was scared.  I said he was going to jail, they are going to shoot him.".  Mobile Police Department Spokesman Terrence Perkins reportedly said that the department had received some negative comments about the stunt but that the positive feedback far outweighed the negative, adding that "It actually showed us outside the capacity of writing tickets. It showed that we do have a human side as well."  And now Shawna and Daiwon can...

Fake Cop FAIL! St. Louis Man Gets Arrested for Impersonating a Law Enforcement Officer after Pulling Over a Real Off-Duty Cop ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1




Meet 20 y/o Nicholas Keeton of St. Louis Missouri.  That's his mug shot below...




Nick, like many a douche before him, tricked out his Chevy Impala to appear to the untrained eye to be an undercover police car... complete with flashing reds and blues and a siren.  (No, that is not Nick's car below... it's just an illustration.)  




But it's what Nick reportedly he did with his wanna-be police car that makes him one of...




At about 12:30 am on Thursday, December 8th, 2016 Nick reportedly pulled up next to another vehicle at an intersection where he, for reasons unknown, displayed his reds and blues and tapped his siren.  Unfortunately for Nick, the driver of the vehicle that he was signalling was Andrei Nikolov, a St. Louis police officer who was off-duty at the time.




Andrei (pictured below right), co-recipient of the 2014 St. Louis Police Department's 2nd District Officer of the Year award, questioned Nick as to who he was and what he wanted, at which time Nick reportedly identified himself as a St. Louis Police Officer in the 1st District.  Andrei quickly became suspicious of the 6'5' and 260lb alleged cop, and called in real St. Louis cops who promptly discovered that Nick was not a policeman and who arrested him for impersonating a police officer.  




Memo to the Folks:  To thine own self be true.  If you wanna be a cop then be a cop. But impersonating a police officer is a serious criminal act.  


   



Memo to the Nicholas Keeton:  Here's your silver lining....

Can a Judge Remove the Balance of Restitution from a Closed Case so I can get Clemency? ~ Best Answer on AVVO ~ Call Michael A. Haber, Esq. @ 1-888-SHARK-8-1

Q:    Is it possible to have a Judge in Miami Dade County remove a restitution balance from a previous case? Hello, I was placed on probation 10 years ago for 1 year and was told to I needed to pay restitution. At the 8 month mark, a hearing was held to early terminate my probation. I had the remaining amount towards the restitution with me in the form of a money order. It was my time to go before the Judge at which time, the Judge asked my probation officer to come up front but they were not in the court room and not in the building it seemed either. At which time, without further adieu, the Judge said, thank your probation officer for not showing up your probation is now terminated. He never asked for the payment and to be honest, I think the State asked about it and the Judge said like I said probation is terminated. Fast forward 9 years. I sent in a Clemency form to the State of Florida so that I could have my rights restored. Within 3 weeks I received a letter back stating that I could not be award clemency because of, you guessed it that restitution payment. I would like to know if I am in fact required to still make that payment and if so, how can I find out the balance owed or if not, how can I get this lifted so that I can move forward with the clemency request? Thanks!

Answered . Yes. You are still required to pay restitution. Termination of probation does not discharge your obligation. You can "get this lifted so that [you] can move forward with the clemency request" by paying off the restitution balance.

It may not have been your mistake but it is your problem (and debt).

I hope that I've been helpful in answering your question.

Thank you very much for your response. If I were to contact you on Tuesday, would this be something that you would be able to handle for me? I do know that the new Judge on the bench may or may not agree to lifting the amount owed which I believe is only just over $1000.00 but surely less than $1200.00.
