4 Fulton jail contractors arrested over cell phones, sex and chicken pot pies

The Fulton County Sheriff’s Office confirmed an ongoing corruption investigation at the Fulton County Jail, resulting in the arrest of four security officers who worked for a contract company.
The investigation, which began in May, has uncovered significant allegations.
Natalie Ammons, director of communications for the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office said the officers, who were employed by Strategic Security, “have all been terminated today but they are considered contractors.”

The Sheriff’s Office reported that one security officer, Breasha Tate, allegedly smuggled cell phones into the jail by hiding them in a cutout inside a book.
Records reveal she confessed to providing six cellphones and other contraband to an inmate and having sex with the inmate on three separate occasions.
The same records indicate Tate received $1,682 in payments via Cash App from the inmate for the contraband.

Ammons said that another terminated security officer, Regina Harris, faces three warrants for providing a contraband cell phone to an inmate.
Laquna Ballard, another ex-employee, is accused of sending explicit photos and videos to an inmate and conspiring to smuggle cigarettes and cell phones into the jail.
The fourth officer, Anizya Silas, faces charges of conspiring to smuggle a phone charger and giving unauthorized food, specifically a chicken pot pie, to an inmate.
“We can’t screen for integrity,” Ammons said.
All four suspects were given bond, but as of late Wednesday afternoon, only one had posted it.
“These women unfortunately chose to be on the wrong side of the law by fraternizing with residents they were entrusted with watching over,” said Sheriff Pat Labat. “They will now have to face the consequences for the crimes they are accused of committing. Our employees and contractors alike are held to a high standard of integrity.”

Off-duty pilot who tried to shut off plane engines mid-flight took psychedelic mushrooms

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The off-duty pilot facing 83 attempted murder charges after he allegedly tried to shut off the engines of a plane mid-flight admitted to taking psychedelic mushrooms two days beforehand, new arrest documents claim.

Joseph David Emerson, 44, was riding in the cockpit of the plane as an authorized occupant on Sunday evening when he unsuccessfully tried to disrupt the engines about halfway between Astoria and Portland, according to a probable cause affidavit.

On Tuesday, he appeared in a Multnomah County courtroom on 83 counts of attempted murder, and a single count of endangering an aircraft. His attorney entered a plea of not guilty.

In the official criminal complaint, Emerson is stated to have been sitting in the cockpit’s jumpseat when, after chatting with pilots for several minutes, suddenly said “I’m not okay,” before pulling the handles of the fire suppression system, which are used to stop engine fires and shut off fuel to the engines.

One of the pilots grabbed Emerson while the other declared an inflight emergency. He initially resisted, but records say Emerson settled down after a roughly 30-second struggle.

The court documents state Emerson wasn’t able to fully pull down the handles and fully shut off the engines. If he had, “then it would have shut down the hydraulics and the fuel to the engines, turning the aircraft into a glider within seconds.”

Witnesses said Emerson peacefully walked to the back of the plane, and once seated in the back he reportedly told a flight attendant, “You need to cuff me right now or it’s going to be bad.” They put his wrists in a pair of flex cuffs.

Once the airplane made an emergency landing at the Portland International Airport, Port of Portland Police put Emerson under arrest.

During a police interview, Emerson said he was having “a nervous breakdown,” hadn’t slept for 40 hours, and felt dehydrated and tired. He admitted to pulling the handles and said he did it because “I thought I was dreaming and I just wanna wake up.”

Emerson said he had taken “magic mushrooms” about 48 hours before the incident. He told police he’d been struggling with depression for six months and that one of his friends recently died.

“The officer and Emerson talked about the use of psychedelic mushrooms and Emerson said it was his first time taking mushrooms,” a probable cause document said.

One of the officers in the interview said that Emerson didn’t outwardly look like he was under the influence.

When asked if he was trying to kill himself, Emerson did not answer the officer’s question, and instead reiterated that he was “trying to wake up and did not feel like ‘this was real,’ though it felt real now,” a probable cause document said.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office – District of Oregon said Emerson is also facing a federal charge of interfering with flight crew members and attendants.

In the documents, arresting officers stated that at one point Emerson said that he “tried to kill everybody.”

The state is trying to hold Emerson without bail. By law, he can request to have the preventative detention hearing within five days.

A Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson confirmed that Emerson self-reported he felt suicidal and was placed on a suicide watch shortly after being booked into the county jail early Monday morning.

The Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office said the remaining 83 charges of Reckless Endangering that Emerson faces will go to a grand jury.

Man Who Ran Down and KILLED a Teenager for Being a Republican in 2022 Sentenced to Only Five Years in Prison

In September of last year, a North Dakota man named Shannon Brandt ran down and killed a teenager named Cayler Ellingson because he supposedly suspcted him of being a Republican extremist.

Brandt was allowed to plea to the charge of manslaughter and was just sentenced to only five years in prison, followed by three years of probation.

This is outrageous. J6 Defendants are getting longer sentences than this man and he killed someone.

A Glenfield, North Dakota, man is sentenced to five years in prison for his involvement in the death of an 18-year-old last September.

A judge handed down the sentence for Shannon Brandt on Friday, September 8. Brandt was given credit for 356 already served behind bars. His five-year sentence will be followed by three years of supervised probation.

Brandt’s lawyer, Mark Friese, told Valley News Live following the sentencing, “Shannon is pleased that the matter is concluded and hopes those affected can begin to heal.”

Brandt, 42, pleaded guilty to manslaughter in May 2023 for running over 18-year-old Cayler Ellingson after a street dance in McHenry, North Dakota in September 2022.

Court documents say Brandt called 911 and said he hit Ellingson because he was being threatened. Documents say Brandt told police the 18-year-old was part of a republican extremist group and that he was afraid they were coming to get him.

This is not equal justice under the law.

North Dakota Governor Doug Burgum is a Republican who is running for president.

He would be wise to comment on this situation.

Mother Pushes Son to Kill Baby Mama in Pensacola- Texted Him the Deetz

Mother charged after ‘incomprehensible’ texts reveal she helped son plan deadly Florida shooting: police

Keith Agee, 20, and his mother, Sheila, were allegedly texting about his plans to kill Brooklyn Sims at The Home Depot in Pensacola

The mother of a man accused of murder in the Florida panhandle is now also behind bars after police discovered text messages allegedly showing her help plan the shooting death of a woman working inside The Home Depot.

Keith Agee, 20, was arrested by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Friday afternoon in connection with the deadly shooting of 18-year-old Brooklyn Sims hours earlier at the home improvement retailer on Davis Highway in Pensacola. Police did not share the relationship between Agee and Sims, but Pensacola news outlet WEAR said the two have a 2-year-old daughter together.

The sheriff’s office revealed Monday night that Agee’s 50-year-old mother, Sheila, was involved in planning the targeted attack.

“According to text messages, it’s clear that Keith Agee’s mother, Sheila Agee, knew and participated in the plan to kill Brooklyn Sims. Additionally, text messages between mother and son highlight the mother’s involvement in helping locate the victim,” the ECSO wrote on Facebook.

The department released the alleged text messages between the mother and son on its Facebook page, claiming they took place right before Sims was shot and killed.

“The murder itself is unbelievable, but to know the mother knew about it and helped coordinate it is incomprehensible,” Sheriff Chip Simmons said via Facebook.

Keith: “S— ain’t do nun but cost me money and gave me a ——- I’m fin just shoot her Ik I hate that for [daughter] buh like I said I can’t take it idgaf Nomo.”

heila: “Ok.”

Sheila: “Ok I’ll call you and tell you mf if you want to go to jail I’ll tell you when we get close but if you don’t come kill her you a mf b—-.”

Sheila: “Don’t call nanny and tell her she will try and talk you out of it.”

Keith: “Ian even gon tell her y I left.” “I’m just say I gotta go to the dentist.”

Sheila: “Don’t even go there she won’t know you left.” “Don’t shoot at my mf car I don’t want to die.”

Keith: “I’m not”

Sheila: “Wait till I put her out.”

Keith: “I was gon wait till she got out.”

Sheila: “Ok”.

Keith: “Buh that’s another thing if she don’t get out that car momma and I have to drag her out or can’t ima ask u to step out Cuz I’m open the door jus shoot her.”

Sheila: “As long as you don’t shoot me.”

Sheila: “Hell if you getting off work now I’ll give you the address here and you can ride over here and do it so you don’t have to do it in front of [daughter].”

Keith: “Send it to me”

Sheila: “We just in Pensacola.”

Keith: “I’m otw send it”

Sheila: “Hold up let me get it erase the texts cause I don’t want nobody to know I was texting you stupid a–.”

Keith: “I already deleted mine trust me ian gon say s— abt us even tlkin td.”

Keith: “wats the address”

Sheila: “I can’t wait to get back to that store to give you the address cause you gonna have to shoot me today I done told you about cussing me.”

Keith: “All I want is that address momma I’m done tlkin I done tlked enough Ik wats gonna happen and I’m ok with that I done already been thinkin it thru and this the only way for me idk why u so quick to start s— wit me buh again must be scared of Brooklyn or sum idk.”

Keith: “She gon be onna floor right?”

Sheila: “waiting on you”

Keith: “I’m saying I’m gone have to find her in the back or sum?”

Sheila: “Nope”

Keith: “Ok”

Keith: “Stay out my way”

Sheila: “I am”

Keith: “Lol man get off my phone all I needed was that address leave me alone finish yo work day And you is to I forgot just me”

eith: “So that last thought of her knowin she f—-d and the regret in her face will b enough to satisfy me idgaf what she see wen she dead, Yes tf she do How tf I’m pick her up when yo sorry a– tryna go gamble or hang in Jackson and she don’t pick up the phone, Nah that ain’t even gon fly she a jus die before I let that continue.”

Sheila: “Ok whatever Idc do what you do idgaf. Cause I’m going home today not to hell or to jail.”

Keith: “good for u”

Sheila: “Ok then stop texting me I’m working. Do whatever you want to do. It don’t affect me either f—–g way.”

Keith was arrested shortly after the shooting Friday and charged with aggravated battery and homicide, Escambia County Jail records show. He remains in jail on no bond.

The sheriff’s office announced Monday night that Sheila was arrested in Washington County, Alabama, for principal to first-degree murder and will be extradited back to Florida. Her arrest came after she attended a balloon release for Sims in Cintronelle, Alabama, according to WEAR.

Virginia 6-year-old’s chilling words after shooting 1st grade teacher

Newly unsealed search warrants reportedly reveal the shocking words a 6-year-old Virginia student allegedly uttered after brandishing a gun at school and shooting his teacher in the classroom.

“I shot that b—- dead,” the boy said on Jan. 6, 2023, just moments after the shooting, according to Amy Kovac, a reading specialist at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News, Virginia. Kovac rushed into the classroom afterward and restrained the child until police arrived.

The unsealed warrants, reported by local news outlets Tuesday, described how Kovac had heard a gunshot and witnessed several children run out of the classroom.

Their teacher, 25-year-old Abigail Zwerner, also dashed out, bleeding from the hand and upper torso before she collapsed in the front office and was rushed to the hospital. The warrant says Kovac went into the classroom where she found the boy standing by his desk with the gun next to him on the floor.

“I did it,” the boy also said, according to Kovac. “I got my mom’s gun last night.”

Earlier in the day, two students had told Kovac they saw the boy with a gun in his backpack, the warrant says. Kovac and a school administrator are said to have searched the student’s backpack at recess but did not find the firearm inside at that time.

Zwerner’s legal team filed a $40 million lawsuit against the Newport News School Board and certain administrators in April.

Her lawyers contend that several school employees, including Zwerner herself, had warned administration before the shooting unfolded. When interviewed at the hospital after the shooting, Zwerner told investigators she had separated her first grade class into two groups after recess for a reading activity when the boy pulled out the gun.

“What are you doing with that?” the teacher said she asked, before the boy fired a shot at her.

The warrant says Zwerner told investigators there had been multiple “disciplinary incidents” involving the same student leading up to shooting. They involved physical violence and threats of violence, which had been reported to school administrators, the warrant adds.

Days after the shooting, investigators interviewed the boy’s former kindergarten teacher.

The retired Newport News elementary school teacher, who had been assigned to Richneck Elementary School, told police how she had been choked in September 2021 by the same boy said to have shot Zwerner. The warrant notes how limited school records pertaining to the boy obtained from Child Protective Services did not include any information about the alleged choking described by the kindergarten teacher, so it is possible that the incident and “possibly others were not readily provided by Newport News Public Schools.”

Though the boy has not been charged, his mother, Deja Taylor, faces two counts: felony child neglect and a misdemeanor count of leaving a firearm in a way that could endanger a child.

In lieu of a bench trial, a plea hearing is scheduled for Aug. 15. Taylor’s attorney, James Ellenson, has previously told WTKR that the boy’s mother was suffering from mental health issues following an ectopic pregnancy and a miscarriage.

Five-Year-Old on Cocaine Fatally Shoots 16-Month Baby on Marijuana

A five-year-old Indiana boy, allegedly high on cocaine, shot and killed his 16-month-old brother, who was allegedly high on marijuana, in March of this year.

The Daily Mail reported that 27-year-old Deonta Jermaine Johnson was in the apartment asleep when the five-year-old allegedly shot 16-month-old Isiah Johnson in the head.

CBS News noted that Johnson is the father of the deceased 16-month-old, not the five-year-old.

Initially, Johnson allegedly denied having a gun and claimed the 16-month-old had fallen or was otherwise injured by his brother. As police searched the apartment, they found a gun locked in a safe and another “in the drawer of a dresser,” according to the Daily Mail. Officers also discovered “93 fentanyl pills, marijuana, and drug paraphernalia inside the apartment.”

Prosecutors have since charged Johnson and 24-year-old Shatia Tiara Welch “with neglect and various drug charges.” Johnson also faces obstruction of justice charges for allegedly taking marijuana out of the apartment and hiding it in his car before officers arrived on the scene.

On April 15, 2023, the day of Isiah’s funeral, Welch posted on Facebook, “Today has been the hardest day of my life. HOW Tf do I say goodbye to my son my one-year-old baby? S*** so crazy I lost my best friend March 28th my life will NEVER be the same.”
