Daily crime blotter back by popular demand

There it is. Notice the lack of gunshot wound causing death combined with justice served AND an arrest.

But a gun is totally a necessity for these situations. Just ask anyone brainwashed by the National Rifle Advertisers Association.

WEST FRANKLIN, Ill. - An Illinois woman's Facebook pictures landed her in jail.
Police said 27-year-old Danielle Saxton, of West Frankfort, shoplifted from a downtown boutique last week. Then, she posted pictures of herself wearing the stolen merchandise, police said. The images quickly spread on Facebook, and led officers straight to her.
"What she stole was a very distinct leopard dress," store co-owner Kert Williams told ABC affiliate WSIL TV. “(She stole) a dress, a couple shirts, some jewelry, couple items like that,” Williams said.
Williams reviewed video from store security cameras and posted about the theft on Facebook. Thanks to the pictures on Saxton's Facebook account, other users immediately put two and two together.
"We just had a description and a direction of travel, but when the social media aspect played into it, we were able to identify who it was. And by looking at the background of the photograph we were able to pinpoint where she was at," said Police Chief Shawn Talluto.
Talluto said Saxton still had the clothes in her hand when officers arrived. They arrested her and later found she was wanted on another warrant in Jackson County. Talluto’s not surprised by the help from social media.
“When you put something out there, it's a matter of minutes before it can go viral, and it can go to the world,” Talluto explained.
Saxton has since removed the photos from her Facebook page.

Three teenagers admitted beating two homeless men to death with bricks, cinder blocks and other hard objects so badly that the crime scene disturbed even veteran cops, authorities said.

Alex Rios, 18, Nathaniel Carrillo, 16 and Gilbert Tafoya, 15, are being held in Bernalillo County detention facilities after allegedly killing the helpless victims Saturday in an open field, police said.

'I personally, after reading that complaint, was sick to my stomach because of the nature of the violence and the age of the offenders,' police spokesperson Simon Drobik said.

The names of the two men savagely beaten to death have not been released. But a third man, Jerome Eskeets, escaped the brutal beatdown and lived to tell his story.

Eskeets told police the teens covered their faces with t-shirts and beat him and the two other victims with bricks, a metal fence pole and sticks.

All three victims suffered injuries to their entire bodies, including their faces - which were left unrecognizable, police said.

Officers responded Saturday around 8 a.m. to a 911 call reporting two bodies in a field. They found one victim lying on a mattress and another lying on the ground. Eskeets was hospitalized for his injuries.

Eskeets told police that he recognized one of the 'kids' hitting and kicking him as someone who lived in a nearby house.

Police soon found the three suspects at the home, according to the complaint, and quickly noticed blood in the waistband of Tafoya's shorts.

Both Tafoya and Carrillo are brothers, the homeowner told police. Rios was identified as a friend who had slept over the previous night.

Investigators soon interviewed all three boys and learned the awful truth of what happened.

Rios told investigators he acted as a lookout while the other boys callously attacked the homeless, beating them to a bloody pulp.

The younger suspects, however, told police that Rios also took part in the attacks. Both boys said they wanted to look for someone to beat up and possibly rob.

Tafoya said they approached the suspect with their faces covered by t-shirts. They then raised the cinder blocks up over their heads and smashed the homeless men in the face at least 10 times each with the blocks, authorities said.

Carrillo and Tafoya admitted they took one victim's driver's license and debit card. The license was found in the teens' home, police said.

Tafoya also admitted to police they have previously attacked about 50 other homeless people around the city in the past year, KOB reported.

Is it just me, or do those three look like Cypress Hill at age 15?

A New Mexico mother is facing a hate crime charge after police say she physically and sexually abused her 17-year-old daughter because she is lesbian.

The Dona Ana County Sheriff’s Office said 40-year-old Magdo Haro, of Las Cruces, was arrested Tuesday on charges of second-degree criminal sexual penetration and third-degree child abuse.

According to a criminal complaint, the 17-year-old girl told investigators she and Haro had been arguing about the girl’s sexual orientation for around a week.

The complaint obtained by Las Cruses Sun-News states Haro threatened to insert the stick of a plunger and a hanger inside her daughter ‘so she would know what it was like to have sex with a woman.’

The mother eventually coerced her daughter into performing lewd sexual acts on herself.

Magdo Haro was later released from Dona Ana County Jail on a $25,000 secured bond.

Police say the dispute between the mother and daughter started last Saturday.

According to the girl, who is not being named due to the nature of the crime, her mother was displeased seeing her in a baseball cap and allegedly ordered her daughter 'not to wear boy clothes anymore, only girl clothes.'

The suspect also told the teen she would have to start going to church with her grandmother, according to the court filing.

Where did she get the idea that sex with a woman feels like a plunger handle or hanger?

A 42-year-old Brooklyn woman accused of killing and dismembering a mom of four who was a tenant in her uncle’s building — and scattering her remains across Long Island — was ordered held without bail Thursday morning, authorities said.
“Yes!” family members of Chinelle Latoya Thompson Browne whispered to themselves in court as a judge ordered Leah Cuevas back to a holding cell following the brief court appearance in Islip.
Browne’s aunt, who flew to the U.S. with the victim’s distraught husband, Dale Browne, held up her arms in a victory gesture.
“(Cuevas) is charged with the worst conduct that humans can be capable of,” Judge G. Ann Spelman said as she ordered the alleged killer held without bail. “The District Attorney’s evidence is more than compelling. It’s very strong.”
Prosecutors say Cuevas stabbed Chinelle Browne in the neck and torso repeatedly during a heated argument inside her Sumpter St. apartment in Brownsville on July 5.
“No Leah! What she doing?” Browne was allegedly heard screaming during the fatal blow up. “Oh no! Oh no! I’m sorry!”
“That was the last time the victim was heard alive,” Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Robert Biancavilla said Wednesday.
Cuevas killed Browne because the young mom refused to pay her $200, neighbors told the Daily News.

uevas allegedly said Browne owed her the money for electricity, but the Guyanese native refused to pay, claiming she wasn’t getting enough power and needed the money to move out, according to Donald Watson, 49. “She was tired of paying for lighting and having it go out, or the refrigerator going out and spoiling the food," Watson said. "(Browne) said she wanted to take her money and move out but the landlord said ‘no.’ She wanted the $200 ... but (Browne) said I need the $200 to move out.”
Cuevas is the niece of the building’s owner, who died last year, neighbors said. Browne lived with a family on the floor above Cuevas.
Since Cuevas’ uncle died, it’s been unclear who owns the building, neighbors said.
“(Cuevas) is a lady claiming to be a landlord,” said neighbor Lerron Straker.
The fights between Cuevas and Browne were loud — and often public, Watson explained.
“(Cuevas) was an evil lady ... she would come out screaming, 'This is my building!'" he said. "You'd hear them arguing. You'd see the police out here. They'd tell them to go to small claims court. It's been going on for a long time," Watson said.

A father has been sentenced to a minimum of 18 years and nine months in prison for beating his two-year-old daughter to death in an attack he had hoped would make her a lesbian.

Donovan Lamar Haynes, 23, was sentenced in Flint, Michigan on Monday after pleading no contest to second-degree murder for the 2011 killing of Ti'Airra Woodward.

A pre-sentence investigation report claimed Haynes had beat the girl to turn her gay in hope that she would avoid men like him, who had a history of treating women poorly, Mlive reported.

Haynes' attorney Elbert Hatchett called him 'deranged' before Genesee Circuit Judge Joseph J. Farah sentenced him to serve a concurrent five-to-15-years in prison for first-degree child abuse.

'You don't beat her in hopes she's going to turn gay,' Farah said, adding that Haynes should have used his own experiences to teach his daughter how to deal with aggressive men.

'This case is a case that defies reason, logic, common sense,' Hatchett added. '[It's a] tragedy to see the life of an innocent child snuffed out for no reason at all.'
