    Florida prosecutor accused of shoplifting beauty products

    1.jpg

    Florida prosecutor who oversees cases against sexual predators is facing a shoplifting charge after surveillance video caught her swiping $43 worth of cosmetics from a grocery store, police said.

    Stacey Honowitz, 56, was suspended from her $108,000-a-year- job as a Broward County assistant state attorney pending an investigation and was charged with misdemeanor theft, the Sun Sentinel reported.

    Security footage released by the Aventura Police Department shows Honowitz shopping with her parents and daughter on Saturday at a Publix grocery store in the small city 20 miles north of Miami.

    She is seen browsing the cosmetics aisle placing the beauty products into her purse. She later paid a cashier $125 for groceries and then got in line again to purchase a lottery ticket.

    A manager confronted Honowitz and she handed over the allegedly stolen goods, the Miami Herald reported.

    “She shouldn’t have done that,” a shopper told FOX affiliate WSVN-TV in Miami. “She’s helping the law, and she’s also shoplifting? That definitely does not make sense.”

    Honowitz was not jailed. Instead she was given a notice to appear in a Miami-Dade County court.

    She was suspended from work and will take vacation time until the case is sorted out, a Broward State Attorney’s Office spokeswoman told the Herald.

    “We have been made aware of the incident by the prosecutor. She has been suspended pending an administrative review. She will be utilizing her vacation time until we complete the investigation,” said spokeswoman Constance Simmons.

    Honowitz’s attorney, Jayne Weintraub, called the incident an “honest mistake” and that her client simply forgot to pay for the items.

    “After reviewing the video it confirms what we have said,” Weintraub said. “She put the lipstick and mascara in her purse and intended to pay and forgot. Had she put it in the cart, it would have fallen through cracks of the cart. She had every intention of paying and simply forgot."

    The veteran prosecutor was the supervisor of the sex crimes and child abuse unit when she was suspended and has been involved to several high-profile cases, WSVN reported.

    Over her 30-year career, Honowitz built a reputation as a tenacious prosecutor and advocate for victims rights, according to the Sun Sentinel.

    “She is highly regarded and respected in the legal community for her honesty and professionalism,” former prosecutor David Frankel, who has known Honowitz for more than 30 years, told the newspaper. “She has never been afraid to fight for the rights of children in an area most people would rather not know anything about. There are literally hundreds if not thousands of children who are safer and whose lives are better because of her.”

    She is the author of two self-published children’s books on sexual abuse and routinely appears as a legal analyst on cable television shows to discuss crime stories.

    Five years ago, she appeared at a Miami courtroom when her brother was arrested on theft and forgery charges. During the hearing, she mentioned her job several times, the Herald reported.

    The judge freed her brother from jail.


    “I went down there as a loving sister,” Honowitz told the Miami Herald at the time. “I just happen to be a prosecutor. This is a terrible ordeal.”

    Quite a few people over the years have died walking close to the geysers and hot springs in Yellowstone, and there are warnings all over the place. They weren't "horrified" a dude was pissing, they were potentially horrified that they were witnessing a person about to be killed or committing suicide.

    I agree. What gets me is some 'animal lovers' think that left alone, all animals will live to a ripe old age and then die peacefully while sleeping. Mother Nature can be a cruel bitch.

    They obviously never see how "REAL" nature works...its kill or be killed. Hunting is much more humane than any death in the wild.

    What is it with these idiots in Yellowstone? I would have been rooting for Old Faithful to lay a third degree burn on his shlong.

    He hee. Like the drunk fool taunting the bison a while back. He's lucky to be alive. I don't get why people go to these parks to act like total A-holes.

    Humans are just animals that learned how to use tools. If you fail to understand that other animals will eat you in the wild and fail to protect yourself, thats your fault.

    Nowadays people are "horrified" if someone calls them Ma'am or Sir, and of course the media will play this up to the hilt to get ratings.

    What a world the "mainstream" has created.

    Society has enabled the abject fools to continue being foolish long after they should have weeded themselves out of the gene pool.

    Why use common sense when any number of attorneys are standing by their toll-free hotline to sue for any perceived wrongdoing?

    Florida man who tried to kidnap child taken down by K-9, police say

    2.jpg

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SKamcbF9pM


    A police dog in Florida proved on Monday what a good boy he is.

    The the K-9 named "Titan" helped take down a man who tried to kidnap a child from a home in New Port Richey, located northwest of Tampa on Monday.

    The man, identified as 24-year-old Kevin Wilson, had arrived at the home and climbed up to the second-floor window. Wilson entered the home, argued with a woman inside and then grabbed a child and took off.


    The sheriff's office said that there was a no-contact order in place, and Wilson was not supposed to have contact with the mother or to enter the home. The child's uncle grabbed his gun and confronted Wilson in the front yard before the 24-year-old released the child and fled, police told FOX13.

    Wilson drove off but ended up crashing his car. He ran into the woods, which caused several schools to go into "controlled campus" as police searched for Wilson with a helicopter and K-9 units.
