Tampa Escorts: Police and Residents Talk Crime in Tampa Heights

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Other residents gathered at 300 East also complained to the officers about other nearby drug dens, speeding ATV riders, and gang fights.
Roll call leader Sgt. Chris Ugles took notes and relayed complaints to the appropriate officer gathered around him, depending on neighborhood location. He pledged delegation, follow-ups and action to the residents.
“This is your community,” he told them. “We appreciate having you as our eyes and ears.”
Neighborhood roll calls are coordinated between police and residents and held at local businesses and homes to increase crime awareness and deter criminal activity in higher crime areas.
Ugles also used the occasion to announced the police department’s new Prostitution Exclusion Zone, or PEZ corridor, which makes it easier for cops to charge repeat offender prostitutes with felony violation of probation within the zone. Ugles said the PEZ boundaries stretch from Fowler to Seventh avenues, and Nebraska Avenue to 15

Associated PressTampa Bay Times In Print: Thursday, January 19, 2012
MINNEAPOLIS — A traveler from Valrico concealed a camera inside a book and surreptitiously recorded men at an airport urinal, authorities said Wednesday.
Joshua Fletcher, 34, faces two gross misdemeanor counts of interference with privacy.
The incident happened Monday at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport as Fletcher awaited a flight to Florida, authorities said.
An airport spokesman said it came to light when a traveler alerted police he had been taped in a bathroom.
Authorities said Fletcher had rigged a book to hide a camera.
It occurred in the same restroom where former U.S. Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, was arrested in 2007 and accused of soliciting sex from an undercover police officer, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.

Tampa Escorts: Man, Woman Caught ‘Prowling’ Behind Cycle Alley

Wednesday, January 18th, 2012

According to the affidavit, when the deputy caught up with the woman, she stated “that she was preparing to engage in prostitution behind the business.”
While the woman was detained by another deputy, the responding deputy deployed a K-9 and tracked the man, who was lying down in the woods west of 5112 Beau Lane, the report stated.
Following his arrest, the man, who has a tattoo on his arm that says “Family,” told deputies that the woman was a prostitute and he fled the area because he thought the officer was her husband who “was coming to rob him,” the report stated.
David Arnold Hanshew, 26, and Sharon Lee Haines, 42, both of New Port Richey were each charged with loitering and prowling.

Haines also faces charges of prostitution in a Jan. 12 arrest.

Tampa Escorts: St. Petersburg police find suspects in woman’s slaying in a grimly familiar …

Friday, December 30th, 2011

The men tortured and beat the woman, police said, because she had stolen four pairs of children’s shoes the men intended to give as gifts for Christmas.
The two men who climbed down from the attic Wednesday were Letrell McKnight and Santonio Smith, both 21. Darryl Williams, 35, was arrested Thursday.
All three men were charged with second-degree murder in the death of Stacia Berman, 42. All three have extensive arrest records in Pinellas County.
Berman was a transient, according to police, who at the time of her death was staying with the three men in their apartment at 527 Eighth St. N.
Police described their home, Apt. 3, as a “drug trap.” Berman had a long criminal record that included arrests for drug possession and prostitution. The men were supplying her with drugs, police said.

Tampa Escorts: The iPhone Siri takes on the bay

Friday, December 30th, 2011

By Stephanie Hayes, Times Staff WriterTampa Bay Times In Print: Friday, December 30, 2011
The most talked-about lady of 2011 is inside the magic box.
Her name is Siri, the “intelligent software assistant” that debuted in October in the new iPhone 4S. She pops up with a ding when you lift your phone, an acerbic substitute for the phone book and even Google. Need her to text someone while your hands are busy? She’ll do it. Need to know the weather? Boom, done.
But Siri, the scamp, has earned a reputation for being a little wiggy, a little naughty, a little saucy. She’ll interrupt your attempts to check voicemail. She’ll call your Aunt Pat when you want to dry your damp cat. She has been chided for looking up prostitutes, and for not looking up abortion clinics.

Tampa Escorts: Two arrested in death of woman found in lake

Thursday, December 29th, 2011

Berman, who was staying with the other men, was known to smoke crack cocaine and prostitute herself. Puetz said she received a supply of drugs from the men.
McKnight and Smith were arrested about 11:30 p.m. Wednesday at 3210 39th St. S.
The men were found after hiding out in the home’s attic.
When officers and deputies from the U.S. Marshals Service went to the house, 21-year-old Nicole Johnson, McKnight’s girlfriend, adamantly denied that Smith and McKnight were there, police said. She said it was just her, two children and a roommate.
Officers searched the home and didn’t find them, but suspected they were hiding in the attic.

The Medical Examiner’s Office ruled her death a homicide, saying she suffered blunt trauma to the upper body. State records show Berman has a 20-year history of arrests that include drug possession and prostitution.

Tampa Escorts: Two-thirds in poll give Tampa Mayor Bob Buckhorn average or better ratings

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

Like the mayor, Klein has two grade-school-age children, so he approves of Buckhorn’s efforts to finish the Riverwalk.
“I’m dying for it to become more of a city, and it’s definitely heading that way,” Klein said. “Mayor Iorio did a hell of a job and Mayor Buckhorn is following suit.”
Downtown redevelopment is the individual issue where Buckhorn won the most approval from respondents. Of those polled, 59 percent said they were very or somewhat satisfied with his performance in that category.
Buckhorn’s other somewhat or very satisfied ratings include:
• Crime (58 percent). With the support of inner-city neighborhoods, Buckhorn’s administration recently persuaded the City Council to reinstate a $500 penalty for drivers whose cars are impounded after they are arrested for trying to hire a prostitute or buy drugs on Tampa streets.

Tampa Escorts: Tampa City Council may be trying too hard with prostitution crackdown

Tampa City Council may be trying too hard with prostitution crackdown
By Sue Carlton, Times Columnist In Print: Wednesday, December 14, 2011
Listen, I am all for a good, Giuliani-esque, Times Square-style cleanup of Tampa.
City neighborhoods long plagued by drug dealers, hookers, johns and all they leave behind deserve a good and constant scouring of such things. With lye soap, if we can find it.

Tampa has made a lot of progress on this front in recent years, in particular against the men who make the city’s street prostitution trade oh so viable in certain parts of town.

If someone’s using a car to pick up a prostitute, it’s taken away on arrest. We already do this, but the person usually has to pay less than $150 in towing and storage to get his car back.

Tampa Escorts: Suspect in fatal August hit-and-run surrenders to Hillsborough authorities

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

Deputies had issued an arrest warrant Friday for Howard Earl Warren, 30, of Tampa, charging him with leaving the scene of an accident with death. Warren turned himself in Monday afternoon at the Orient Road Jail.
Warren was identified as the driver of a 2000 Nissan Altima that hit Shelly Jo Morganski, 44, about 12:30 a.m. Aug. 26 at the intersection of N 11th Street and 124th Avenue, deputies said.
Video from the Eye-on-Crime program — a Sheriff’s Office project using utility pole cameras to monitor crime in University area neighborhoods — recorded Morganski walking partially across 124th Avenue before collapsing.
The Nissan, driving south, ran over her body as she lay in the road. The car then drove away.
Morganski died at the scene.
Warren has a lengthy record of arrests and convictions — including for prostitution, possession of cocaine, marijuana and illegal prescription drugs, and resisting arrest — dating to 1996, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
