State Police Trooper Suspended Without Pay For Assault On Motorist

A Pennsylvania state trooper was charged on Monday with assaulting a motorist during a routine traffic stop, state police officials have announced in a public statement.

State Police Trooper Mark Edward Shutkufski, 39, has been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the charges.

The incident happened after Trooper Mark Shutkufski pulled Brian McCasland's car over along Route 191 for a routine traffic violation, police officials have said. The encounter was captured by a video camera mounted on the state trooper's vehicle's dashboard.

According to the arrest affidavit, Mr. McCasland told police he was seated inside his stopped vehicle when Trooper Shutkufski approached the car, he started yelling about motorists driving too fast and punched Brian McCasland in the chest through the vehicle's open window.

Mr. McCasland opened his cell phone and said he was going to call 911, Trooper Shutkufski demanded the cell phone and begun reaching into the vehicle with both arms while pulling at the victim, the affidavit said. The trooper eventually opened the vehicle door and placed his entire body inside until he was able to get the cell phone from Mr. McCasland.

According to state police, Trooper Shutkufski went back to his patrol car and returned to the vehicle, he then pointed his Taser at Brian McCasland's head and face at close range while threatening to shoot him, the affidavit said.

Mr. McCasland complained to state police after the stop, and internal affairs investigated the allegations. The district attorney's office reviewed the investigation and referred it to the state attorney general's office for prosecution, state police said.

Sgt. Jeffrey P. Balut, a supervisor with the state police Internal Affairs Division, filed a complaint before Magisterial District Judge John D. Whitesell charging Trooper Shutkufski with misdemeanor counts of simple assault and official oppression, along with a summary count of harassment.

Woman's Prank Causes Riot At Clothing Store

A woman who was being driven around in a rented limousine pulled up at a coat store and announced she had won the lottery and would pay for everyone's purchases that were in the store, police officials said, but the woman ended up causing a riot when customers realized it was all a hoax.

Linda Brown was arrested Tuesday after an hours long shopping spree that began when she hired a stretch Hummer limousine to drop her off at a Burlington Coat Factory store, police Sgt. Lt. Michael Deakins said. Brown walked to a cash register and loudly announced she had won the lottery and would pay for each person's merchandise up to five hundred dollars.

Apparently people who were in line were calling relatives who were not at the store and telling them to come down in a hurry.

People flooded the cash registers as cashiers began ringing up purchase after purchase, but Brown had not yet paid the bill, Deakins said. At least 500 people filled the aisles and another 1,000 were outside the store trying to get in.

"She was telling people she won $1.5 million, but it ends up she didn't win anything. She had no money to pay for anything."

By the time employees realized Linda Brown didn't have any money to pay she already had taken off in the limousine, police said.

That is when angry customers realized that they weren't getting free coats and began throwing merchandise on the floor and grabbing clothes without paying for them.

The angry customers started throwing merchandise all over the store and began looting, leaving the store looking as though a hurricane had passed through it, police officials said.

"Everybody was saying, 'I still want my free stuff,' and that started the riot," police said. "It looks like Hurricane Katrina crashed through the clothing store."

Police said they have no way of tracking down the customers who stole items and fled, but they are reviewing surveillance videos in hopes of catching at least some of them.

Finally the limousine driver realized he wasn't going to get paid the nine hundred dollars Linda Brown owed him for the day's rental, that's when he turned her in to the police.

Linda Brown, 44, was arrested on three outstanding warrants for aggravated menacing, misuse of a 911 system and causing false alarms. She was jailed late Wednesday, but no charges had been filed against her related to the coat store chaos pending a mental health evaluation.

Winner Of Marathon Race Doesn't Need To Be At The Actual Event





There's a very good chance that the first runner to complete the Steamtown Marathon Race will not be the winner of the race. In fact, that runner won't even be on the 26mile race course at all.

Instead, Major Gary Beaty of the United States Army will run the marathon via satellite from his Forward Operating Base in Ghazni, Afghanistan.

Here's how it all works, Major Beaty is wearing a Garmin runner's GPS receiver that records distance, time, average pace and the his heart rate. He will run the race on a 1.1-mile circular track around the Arny base. When he's finished, Beaty will send a digital photograph of the GPS to Steamtown Marathon officials to show he has completed the required distance and his finishing time.

Having heard about the Steamtown Marathon from other runners, Beaty sent an e-mail to assistant race director Jim Cummings, who was more than happy to accommodate him.

"We have heard of runners before who would run from satellite locations," Cummings said. "So when he contacted us, not only did we say we would allow it, but we would be honored to do it as thanks for his service to our country."

A 39 year old husband and father of two sons from San Antonio, Texas, Major Beaty has been an active duty Army officer for more than fifteen years now. He began running long distance races in 2006 and is a member of a group called Marathon Maniacs. He has completed 23 marathons, such as Washington, Chicago, Miami and Little Rock, Arkansas. He also has completed eight ultra marathons, races with a distance longer than 26.2 miles, including a trail run through part of Death Valley, a race to the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado and a 78.6 mile run around the perimeter of Lake Tahoe.

"I'll probably finish my run a little before the actual event back in the States as we are 8.5 hours ahead of EST," Major Beaty said in an e-mail. "Of course, this depends on our operations schedule." During his deployment, Major Beaty has completed satellite marathons in Wyoming, Idaho, New Hampshire and West Virginia.

"My short term goal is to complete my 50th marathon and a 50 mile race before turning 40 years old in 2010 and then train to finish a 100 mile marathon race in 2011," Major Beaty said. "Long term, I'm working on running a marathon in each of the 50 states and one on each continent."


"In the past I have most enjoyed the atmosphere of running in the small and mid sized marathons back home and have sought to participate in similar events while over here in Afghanistan. That has certainly paid off. I have received dozens of e-mails from other runners, veterans and even the local media wishing me good luck with their local races and for a safe return home to my family. It has really been inspiring."

Treasure Hunt Turns Out To Be A 40 Year Old Prank




A woman from Illinois who set out on a treasure hunt for buried gold coins after finding a cryptic note in an antique rocking chair may have been the victim of a prankster who died more than thirty years ago.
With the help of a donated backhoe, Patty Henken recently ripped up a vacant lot in Springfield, Illinois, where a note written on a typewriter signed by Chauncey Wolcott, found in an antique chair she bought at an auction last November suggested she would find a treasure chest containing more than $250 in United States gold coins.

Patty Henken's life got interesting in May when, while prying off the seat of a antique rocking chair she bought at an auction five months earlier, she discovered a small envelope with "Finders Keepers" typewritten on it. Inside, a key was taped to a typed note.

"This dexter key will unlock a lead treasure chest," the note began, before spelling out a location in Springfield, 1028 N. Fifth Street, where a chest containing more than $250 in United States gold coins supposedly was buried twelve feet underground.

The treasure, the note claimed, included eight $20 gold pieces, six $10 gold pieces, five $5 gold pieces, three $2 1/2 dollar gold pieces and two $1 gold pieces.

The undated note, signed by a Chauncey Wolcott included a request to contact the Springfield newspaper if the chest was ever found.

The dig turned up nothing but bricks and old bottles. Henken planned to return Tuesday with the donated services of a man with ground penetrating radar meant to detect any buried items, but the treasure note's promise may already be debunked.

An Iowa woman who read newspaper accounts of the treasure hunt said she knows Wolcott's true identity, John "Jay" Slaven, a notorious practical joker and coin collector who often used a typewriter in his pranks.

John Slaven had used the pen name Chauncey Wolcott and lived for decades at the location where the dig took place, until his death in 1976 , according to Betty Atkinson Ryan of Mason City, Iowa. She e-mailed a columnist for the State Journal Register of Springfield to set the record straight.

Atkinson Ryan told the newspaper that Slaven was her boss in the Journal Register's classified advertising department decades ago. She said Slaven often used a typewriter to write some of his practical jokes and signed them Chauncey Wolcott. The newspaper said archived news articles described Slaven as an actor with a booming voice that he used in television appearances, and on about 50 radio shows.

Henken, of Mount Sterling, Illinois, said on Sunday that she was disappointed there's no closure but still was hopeful Slaven may have left some treasure to unearth.

"My friends feel like I was cheated out of finalizing this," said the 48 year old Henken, a window clerk at the post office in Mount Sterling. "There's something down there. He wouldn't play a practical joke without leaving me something."

That property's current owners gave Henken permission to tear up the site in search of the supposed treasure if they got an equal share of any find. But they stopped the digging now that Slaven may have pulled one over on everyone.

"It's done, other than me fixing up their dug up yard," Henken said. "It's been fun, though. I'd do it again tomorrow. I just hope my life isn't so boring from now on."

"I fully expect to do something like this before I die," she said. "But I would leave them something to find, a clue to who I was and not leave them wondering what kind of sick person would create a prank like this."

Man Using Twitter Gets Arrested

Elliot Madison, 41, described by his lawyer as a social worker and political activist, was arrested on charges which include hindering prosecution, because he used Twitter to inform protesters of the location of the police for the September 24th and 25th summit, the State Police said in a criminal complaint.

Madison is a self described New York City anarchist who has been accused of "tweeting" the location of policemen to protesters that were trying to evade officers during the Group of 20 economic summit in Pittsburgh.

Madison was arrested along with dozens of other protesters on the opening day of the G-20 summit, a gathering of finance ministers and central bank governors from among the wealthiest nations on earth.

The New York Post first reported his arrest in Saturday editions.

According to the criminal complaint, police officers acting on a tip arrested Elliot Madison at the Carefree Inn on Kisow Drive in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The complaint said that Madison and another man were found in a room in front of computers and telecommunications equipment, wearing headphones, and surrounded by maps, contact numbers and police and emergency scanners. The men were communicating with protesters by cell phone and Internet, including Twitter, the complaint said. It was not clear whether the second man was arrested also. A Pennsylvania State Police spokeswoman did not immediately return a call on Saturday and his attorney, Martin Stolar, also did not immediately return a call for comment on Saturday.

In a court filing filed on Friday, Stolar asked a federal judge to prohibit authorities from examining materials seized by FBI agents during a raid of Madison's house the day earlier. According to his filing, the agents were at the house for around sixteen hours Thursday and seized items, including political writings, computers, cell phones, anarchist literature and "identifying information of political associates."

Stolar said the search was illegal and some of the materials seized in the raid were likely protected under the First Amendment. The judge issued a temporary order of protection stopping investigators from examining the material, the New York Post reported.

In his filing, Attorney Martin Stolar also described his client as a political anarchist and social worker for the Fountain House, an organization that helps people with mental illnesses. He said that Elliot Madison was politically active, providing legal assistance to those interested in expressing political points of view through demonstration and other activity through an organization known as The Peoples' Law Collective.
