    2013 Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Office in the News December 31, 2013: Lafayette Journal and Courier Illinois man faces a dozen charges in credit card theft Written by Justin L. Mack A dozen felony charges were filed Tuesday against an Illinois man accused of using the personal information of two Lafayette women to obtain credit cards. Kemo D. Whirl, 39, of Wheaton, Ill., was charged in Tippecanoe Superior Court with three counts of forgery, three counts of theft, three counts of fraud, two counts of identify deception and one count of attempted theft. According to court documents, the investigation against Whirl began in June when a woman who worked for Riggs Community Health Center told police that several attempts had been made to open credit cards in her name. She also reported that in July, a U.S. Bank credit card had been issued in her name and sent to an address in Lafayette. The card was later used to make purchases at Home Depot and Target. Surveillance footage from both stores showed the card being used by a black male wearing a baseball cap. Further investigation revealed that the credit card was sent to the home of another Riggs official who held an administrative position and had access to the personal information of other employees. When questioned, the administrator denied all knowledge about the illegally obtained credit card. When shown surveillance footage, the administrator was reportedly able to identify Whirl as the man who used the credit card at Home Depot and Target. She added that he was a friend who stayed with her from time to time.

  • In the Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana
    In The Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas at Texarkana No. 06-14-00103-CR JOHNNY RAY MULDROW, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee On Appeal from the 6th District Court Lamar County, Texas Trial Court No. 25549 Before Morriss, C.J., Moseley and Carter,* JJ. Memorandum Opinion by Justice Moseley ______________ *Jack Carter, Justice, Retired, Sitting by Assignment MEMORANDUM OPINION After a routine traffic stop led to the discovery of “a rolling meth lab,” driver Johnny Ray Muldrow was convicted by a jury of possession of 200 grams or more but less than 400 grams of methamphetamine. After he had been convicted by a jury, Muldrow pled “true” to two enhancement allegations, elected to have the trial court assess punishment, and was sentenced to fifty years’ imprisonment. On appeal, Muldrow argues (1) that the statutes under which he was convicted—Sections 481.115(e) and 481.002(49) of the Texas Health and Safety Code—are facially unconstitutional and (2) that the evidence is legally insufficient to support the jury’s finding of guilt. We find that Muldrow failed to preserve his complaint that Sections 481.115(e) and 481.002(49) are void for vagueness and inadequately briefed the remaining grounds arguing that these sections are unconstitutional. We further find that the evidence was legally sufficient to support the jury’s verdict. Consequently, we affirm the trial court’s judgment. I. The Constitutional Complaints are Either Unpreserved or Inadequately Briefed Section 481.115(e) of the Texas Health and Safety Code makes possession of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance a first degree felony “if the amount of the controlled substance possessed is, by aggregate weight, including adulterants or dilutants, 200 grams or more but less than 400 grams.” TEX.

Officer Jones and Sgt. Arneson arrived and observed two security guards physically engaged with two female suspects. The females had a 9-year-old child with them and they were screaming obscenities at the security guards. Officers were told the women had just assaulted several people. Sgt. Arneson ordered the suspects to stop. Instead of complying they paced angrily back and forth, screaming obscenities and filming everyone with a cell phone. Eventually they complied and officers placed them in cuffs. Officers spoke with victims and witnesses and determined the suspect’s had assaulted a store employee and the security guards. When told they were under arrest one of the suspects stated she was having trouble breathing and requested medics. Allina medics examined her and determined she showed no signs of distress.

Although the cards are black and white, you’ll get a nicer result if you can convince them to use a color printer. 3.

    2010 Tippecanoe County Prosecutor’s Office in the News December 30 , 2010: Lafayette Journal and Courier Local teen gets 14 years for robbery, beating By SOPHIA VORAVONG; svoravong@jconline.com A Lafayette teenager was sentenced Wednesday to 14 years in prison for his involvement in a robbery and bloody attack at a north end home that hospitalized the victim. Johnny L. Ellison, 18, pleaded guilty earlier this month in Tippecanoe Superior Court 1 to an amended count of robbery resulting in serious bodily injury, a Class B felony. He had been charged with robbery as a Class A felony, which carries a heftier penalty of 20 to 50 years incarceration. The charges stem from an investigation on April 2, at a home on North 14th Street in Lafayette. There, officers found Wendell Washburn, 58, with extensive facial injuries. Blood was found smeared on the walls and in several parts of the home. Wendell told officers he had been jumped by two males named "Johnny" and "Cody." Ellison admitted in court to kicking and pushing Washburn so that he could steal Washburn's money. According to court documents, Washburn was admitted to intensive care and had bleeding on his brain. He was later released from St. Elizabeth East hospital. Judge Randy Williams on Wednesday also ordered Ellison to serve two years on probation after his release and pay $384 in restitution for Washburn's medical costs. Ellison's co-defendant, 20-year-old Cody Bryant of Lafayette, pleaded guilty Tuesday to the same Class B felony. He will be sentenced Feb.

  • IN the COURT of CRIMINAL APPEALS of TENNESSEE at NASHVILLE Assigned on Briefs December 13, 2016
    02/06/2017 IN THE COURT OF CRIMINAL APPEALS OF TENNESSEE AT NASHVILLE Assigned on Briefs December 13, 2016 STATE OF TENNESSEE v. RICHARD W. WILBURN Appeal from the Circuit Court for Rutherford County Nos. F-74351, M-73937, M-73940 & M-73973 David M. Bragg, Judge No. M2016-00704-CCA-R3-CD The Defendant, Richard W. Wilburn, was sentenced to an effective ten-year sentence for his guilty-pleaded convictions to one count of initiating the methamphetamine manufacturing process and three counts of driving on a revoked license, second offense or more. On appeal, the Defendant contends that the trial court erred by applying enhancement factor 10—the Defendant had no hesitation about committing a crime when the risk to human life was high—to increase his sentence for initiating the manufacturing methamphetamine process because, he asserts, there was no proof that anyone was endangered by his actions. He also submits that the trial court erred by denying any form of alternative sentencing based upon his need for drug treatment. Following our review, we find no abuse of discretion in the trial court’s sentencing decision. Accordingly, the judgments are affirmed. Tenn. R. App. P. 3 Appeal as of Right; Judgments of the Circuit Court Affirmed D. KELLY THOMAS, JR., J., delivered the opinion of the court, in which CAMILLE R. MCMULLEN and J. ROSS DYER, JJ., joined.
