Wisconsin Funeral Director William Feerick Undertakes Felony Drug Charges

William Feerick

What do you get when you combine a funeral home director, a 22-year-old man and a supply of heroin?

Well, for William Feerick, he’s now facing felony drug charges. The 52-year-old funeral director and co-owner of Feerick Funeral Home in Shorewood is facing up to three years in prison. According to authorities, they received a call to Feerick’s residence concerning a heroin overdose. Upon arrival, they not only found 22-year-old overdose victim Anthony Vitrano, but also a stash of pain killers, marijuana pipes, a vile with cocaine residue and other drugs.

Police have charged Feerick with possession of a controlled substance, a felony, and possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. The recovering Vitrano has also been charged with possession of heroin.

On the funeral home’s website, William Feerick says the following:

“Serving others through funeral service is fulfilling, providing many opportunities to help them through a difficult time. While I enjoy being active in many civic and charitable organizations, funeral service brings the greatest rewards.”

Let’s remember better days for the funeral director (featured 2nd in video). And no, he’s not “creepy” at all…ahem, cough.

TV Weatherman Brett Cummins Found Sleeping in Tub With Corpse

KARK-TV Weatherman Brett Cummins

Maumelle, Arkansas

Police are trying to figure out what happened to an Arkansas man after his corpse was found next to a sleeping television meteorologist.

Both the corpse and the TV weatherman were found in the home of Christopher Barbour, who says he is a friend of 33-year-old KARK weatherman Brett Cummins. Barbour told police that he woke up Monday morning and found his friend (the TV weatherman Brett Cummins) asleep in his bathtub with a dead human corpse wearing a dog collar lying next to him.

Barbour told investigators Cummins had brought a friend that Barbour knew only as “Dexter” over the night before and the three were drinking and snorting drugs.

Barbour said he later fell asleep on his couch, and woke up around 8 a.m. the next morning. That is when he discovered the two men in the
bathtub, Cummins reportedly snoring, he said.

Barbour told police that Cummins screamed when he saw the discolored face of the man later identified as 24-year-old Dexter Paul
Williams, then bolted from the bathroom and vomited in the living room.

Dexter Williams

Cummins then left the house and promised to return later, Barbour told police. Officers are investigating the death and the medical
examiner is awaiting toxicology results to see how Williams died.

Cummins’ photo and bio are still on the KARK website.

By the way, here’s a copy of the official police report.

Delaware Pediatrician Earl Bradley Gets Life for Sexually Abusing Patients

Pedophile Earl Bradley

Georgetown, Delaware

There is finally a conclusion to a story we have been watching for awhile, involving former Delaware pediatrician Earl Bradley, who was accused of sexually abusing scores of young patients. Bradley will spend the rest of his life in prison for committing horrific acts of sexual abuse against his young  patients over more than a decade, a judge ruled Friday.

Bradley, 58, showed no emotion as Judge William Carpenter Jr. sentenced him to 14 life sentences without parole for 14 counts of first-degree rape. Bradley also was sentenced to more than 160 years in prison for multiple counts of assault and sexual exploitation of a child.

Under state law, a life sentence is mandatory for a person convicted of rape against three or more separate victims.

“You will never be in a position to harm a child again,” Carpenter told Bradley, saying the serial pedophile had violated the trust of his patients and their families, the morals of the southern Delaware community of Lewes, and his oath as a medical professional to do no harm to his patients.

“You have severely violated that trust, and you have shamed your profession,” Carpenter told Bradley.

Bradley also videotaped the molestations, according to prosecutors, endlessly editing and copying, permanently memorializing his attacks on these children for his own twisted collection.

Bradley has been investigated on two earlier occasions, but had escaped prosecution. His luck ran out in December of 2009, after a 2-year-old girl complained to her mother after an office visit that the doctor had hurt her. The child had made a similar complaint to her father after an earlier visit.

When police finally arrested Bradley and searched his Lewes office complex, decorated with Disney themes and miniature amusement park rides, they seized dozens of homemade videos from an outbuilding where Bradley had lured patients with promises of treats and toys.

At a one-day bench trial in June, prosecutors presented testimony from two police investigators and gave Carpenter more than 13 hours of videos showing sex crimes against more than 80 victims, most of whom were toddlers.

In his testimony, state police detective Scott Garland described the rapes caught on video as brutal and violent. He explained how some videos showed Bradley with his hands wrapped tightly around the heads of young children, violently forcing them to perform oral sex on him. When Bradley was finished with such assaults, he would lift up the young victims by the head and throw them several feet onto a couch in the rear of the building where investigators found the damning videos, Garland testified. Bradley sometimes would perform “rescue breathing” and chest rubs to revive the semiconscious victims, the detective added.

Eric Fiegel Arrested For The Snake In His Pants

Phoenix, Arizona

Police say that Eric Fiegel had a rather impressive package in his pants. That was several baby albino boa constrictors he picked up at an Arizona pet store.

Fiegel was arrested after police reviewed surveillance footage from Predator’s Reptile Center in Mesa. They say a July 30 video shows the 22-year-old man entering the store, removing several snakes from their cage and placing them in the pocket of his shorts before exiting the store without paying.

Police say Fiegel then traveled to another pet store and traded several of the snakes for $175 and a large reptile tank.

The Arizona Republic says a witness obtained a license plate number which police used to locate Fiegel. He was later identified by witnesses from a police lineup.

It was unclear Wednesday whether Fiegel has a lawyer.

South Carolina Preacher Accused of Raping Women Behind Church

Pastor Dale Richardson

 

“In A Van Down By The River?” No, in this case, it’s A Trailer Out Back of a Church!

Ladson, South Carolina

It was “divine intervention” 32 years ago, when Dale Richardson was saved at a tent revival. The Lord called on him again, in 2006, to preach the word. For the past year, Richardson had served as pastor at Freedom Free Will Baptist Church, a small church in South Carolina. It’s a peaceful setting, on a quiet side road near a railroad track. That was, until recently, when folks say things were not as peaceful as they had hoped.

It seems the good pastor has found himself behind bars, charged with kidnapping and raping three women at gunpoint — two of them in a trailer behind the church — and kidnapping a fourth who was not sexually assaulted.

According to an incident report, around lunch time on a Saturday last month, Richardson picked up a woman and gave her a ride. When the 20-year-old tried to get out of the car, Richardson allegedly pulled a gun, bound her hands, covered her head and took her to the gray-blue trailer home behind the church.

The report said he later dropped the woman in a wooded area, threatening to shoot her if she turned around. Police said the woman was able to identify Richardson from his picture on the church website, which also displays a short biography detailing how he became a Christian and then a pastor.

Richardson has since been charged with two additional sexual assaults, both of which occurred last year. He is accused of bringing one of those women to the church trailer. The third woman claims she was raped in a wooded area outside nearby Summerville, a bedroom community about 20 miles northwest of Charleston. He is also charged with kidnapping a fourth woman.

Richardson was quiet last week when, dressed in a striped prison jump suit with his ankles and wrists shackled, he appeared before a Dorchester County magistrate on the latest charges. He said he understood the charges against him and was denied bond when the magistrate said he was a danger to society.

Maj. John Garrison of the Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office said serial rape cases are unusual in the area. He said this case is drawing particular interest because the suspect is a preacher.

The church website says Richardson became pastor of the church on June 9, 2010. It says he graduated from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. — the college founded by evangelical preacher Jerry Falwell — and has a wife and two grown daughters.

But his name has now been removed from the sign outside the church that has a congregation of about 50 people. Those attending last Wednesday night’s service who were willing to be interviewed did not condemn Richardson.

“He’s always been a real sweet person. He’s always taught God’s word,” said Virginia Davis, who has been attending the church about a year. “He’s been honest with me since Day 1. I’d let him look me right in the face and tell me he did it, because I don’t believe he did it.”

The Rev. Dean Mandrell, who has been helping by preaching at one of the church’s three weekly services, said the congregation has drawn closer.

“Nobody is leaving, they are staying right here. They are just worshipping God. They are not condemning. They are not tearing down or poor-mouthing or bad-mouthing him,” he said.

Mandrell’s Wednesday sermon was about judging others, based on Matthew’s biblical account of the Sermon on the Mount in which Jesus says people with a log in their own eye should not be concerned about the speck in another’s eye.

The South Carolina Free Will Baptist State Association has suspended Richardson’s preaching credentials pending the outcome of the investigations because “the misconduct alleged against him is forbidden by God.” The Rev. Todd Smith, executive director of the statewide association numbering almost 120 churches, said in a statement the association would cooperate with investigators.

“Our prayers are with all involved,” he said.

Police: Florida Teenager kills Parents, Then Throws a Party

Tyler Hadley

West Palm Beach, Florida

A 17-year-old boy is accused of killing his parents with a hammer. As if that isn’t enough, he followed by inviting dozens of friends for a party while their bodies lay in the bedroom.

Tyler Hadley of Port St. Lucie is facing twin counts of first-degree murder in the deaths, which authorities say happened Saturday. He is being held without bond at a juvenile detention center in Fort Pierce and it’s not immediately known whether he has an attorney.

The boy’s parents, Blake and Mary-Jo Hadley, were believed to have been struck with the hammer in their heads and torsos sometime after their son posted on Facebook around 1:15 p.m. Saturday alerting friends to an evening party at his house, about 50 miles north of West Palm Beach.

According to investigators, the parents were attacked outside their master bedroom and the bodies were moved into the bedroom and the door locked.

Later that night, as many as 60 people attended Hadley’s party, according to Port St. Lucie Police spokesman Tom Nichols. They were loud enough to prompt a noise complaint and a visit by police officers. When they arrived at 1:30 a.m. Sunday to warn about the noise, the party was already breaking up, Nichols said.

At some time during the festivities, or shortly thereafter, police received a tip that a murder may have taken place. This tip led them back to the home around 4:20 a.m. and discovered the bodies covered with towels, files, books and other household items. The hammer was found between them.

The 47-year-old mother was an elementary school teacher. The father, 54, worked for Florida Power and Light. Authorities are still waiting on final autopsy results, but believe the parents died of blunt-force trauma.

As for the teen, he had attended St. Lucie West Centennial High School, according to police, but had not graduated. They said they did not know what the motive was. All we do know is he is in a world of shit.

Peter Bower Believes No Animal’s Behind Left: Accused of Doggy-Style Sex Literally

Peter Bower

Shelby, Ohio

I had to double-check and make sure I wasn’t reading a news story from West Virginia, but nope, Ohio it is.

I am speaking of course of a case involving 31-year-old Peter Bower. Police have charged him with animal cruelty for allegedly having sex with a dog he adopted recently.

It all started with an anonymous tip, according to authorities. “The tip was allegations about bestiality, sexual conduct with an animal,” said Richland County Dog Warden Dave Jordan. The tipster even provided links to websites relating to bestiality, where cops reportedly found evidence, including photos, of Bower having sex with multiple animals. The sexual escapades allegedly involved at least three dogs and possibly a horse (or maybe that was simply a pro basketball player).

Investigators moved on with a search warrant at Bower’s apartment and seized his computer. On the computer investigators reportedly found pictures and stories of his sexual rendezvous with his cherished animals. They also found a bestiality book, “Dearest Pet,” and a plastic blow-up sheep.

Bower’s neighbors were a little freaked out by all this, especially since he ran a pet-sitting service. One neighbor recalls Bower offering to walk his dog for free, once learning the man couldn’t afford his services.

Now Bower had a steady live-in companion, Tara, a 3-year-old shepherd mix dog. Investigators went ahead and seized her to, as a veterinarian confirmed the dog suffered vaginal bruising. Tara is now recovering at the local shelter now.

Bower faces two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty. Investigators said that they would like to charge Bower with more serious offenses but Ohio has no laws regarding bestiality. Bower posted bond within 24 hours of his arrest. He has pleaded innocent to charges will face a pre-trial hearing at the end of July.

Alabama Teacher Kimberly Dawn Bynum Couldn’t Wait Until Graduation: Charged for Sex With Student

Kimberly Dawn Bynum

Vina, Alabama

Well, there has been another discovery of a naughty teacher, one of our favorite subjects here at the old newsroom. This week, Kimberly Dawn Bynum has her moment in the spotlight. The 29-year-old math teacher at Vina High School was jailed Thursday after she allegedly began a sexual relationship with a student. Apparently, she never learned that patience is a virtue, as the student would have been legal if she had waited just a little while longer.

According to police, Bynum reportedly became friends with the 12th grade and, towards the end of the school year, the relationship became sexual.

The student soon left the books behind, but not the sexual urges. Investigators say Bynum and the student continued the relationship even after the school year had ended.

On the school’s website, Bynum’s Bio includes the following:

“I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama where I graduated from Hewitt-Trussville High School. I earned my Bachelor’s of Science in Mathematics and Secondary Education from the University of Alabama. I am married to Nathan Garner, band director at Hamilton High School. We reside in Hamilton with our children, Ladybird (chocolate lab) and Bandit (ninja cat).”

Bynum’s booking report was labeled with a charge of school employee engaging in deviant sexual intercourse with a student under the age of 19. Her bond has been set at $10,000.

And finally, where the hell were all the hot teachers when Mr. Sinister was in school? And I am curious about her “ninja cat.”

Lawyer Charged With Prostitution?

Reema Bajaj

Chicago, Illinois

This story confuses the hell out of me. Sure, I know that lawyers often have a reputation for screwing people, but literally? A young attorney who received her law license last year has been charged with prostitution, officials say.

Reema Bajaj, 25, of Sycamore, pleaded not guilty Thursday in DeKalb County, according to her attorney David Camic of Aurora.

While police were investigating another case, they allegedly found evidence that linked Bajaj to prostitution that occurred in August 2010. She’s now facing a felony charge, because the incident occurred within 1,000 feet of a school. Otherwise, a misdemeanor would have been in order.

Actually, Bajaj was not practicing law at the time. She graduated from Northern Illinois University Law School in 2010 and was admitted to the bar in November.

Aside from the previous incident, Bajaj allegedly offered to perform a sex act last month with a man for $50, DeKalb County Assistant State’s Attorney Julie Trevarthen said.

Bajaj faces two misdemeanor counts, along with one felony count. She is currently free on bail after posting a $500 cash bond.

My opinion? I would still definitely call on her for “legal consultation.”

Pennsylvania Couple Solve Their Child Problem With Cinder Block

Barrise-Fitzpatrick

Lake Ariel, Pennsylvania

At times, I think a lot of people wish they just didn’t have any kids. Of course, this is usually just a floating thought during a moment of stress. For one couple, however, they had a different plan in mind. Christopher Fitzpatrick and his girlfriend, Jennifer Barrise, were already parents to one child. The idea of having another was something they just couldn’t be happy about. You see, Barrise gave birth to the couple’s second child in a car back in May. During the birth of his daughter, Fitzpatrick hinted to what would come next.

“Have this (expletive) baby,” Mr. Fitzpatrick allegedly told Barrise. “I just want to get rid of it. I gotta do what I gotta do.” The girl’s mother
asked if was going to kill the baby on two occasions, but Fitzpatrick remained silent both times.

The floor board of the car was ultimately the birthplace of the little girl and, according to the affidavit, neither of the two touched her as she lay
there crying. Fitzpatrick dropped off his girlfriend and then drove the baby to M n D Lawn Care where he worked. He admitted that he placed her on the ground and crushed her skull with a cinder block. He says he dropped the cinder block on her head two times. After burying her body, he placed the cinder block on top of the grave and returned home.

Barrise’s family learned of the birth the following day. Upon questioning Fitzpatrick as to the location of the baby, he said that he had dropped the infant off at a hospital. Barrise’s parents attempted to locate the baby, but came up empty-handed. When they questioned him again, he admitted to burying the infant in the woods because the couple couldn’t afford another baby.

Police were notified and they began a search of the landscaping company. Fitzpatrick eventually arrived on the scene and showed officers where his daughter was buried. He also admitted to killing her. Fitzpatrick and Barrise have both been charged with homicide and are being held without bail.

I am not sure where the couple’s one-year-old child is, who was born on the kitchen floor. However, Barrise has five other children who are living with relatives. I guess this makes a six pack for them. As for Fitzpatrick and Barrise, something tells me they will be seeing a lot more of these soon.
