Unusual Attacks

City critic tangles with law in bizarre outburst

Ex-Akron candidate accused of assaulting officers

By Julie Wallace

Beacon Journal staff writer

A one-time Akron City Council candidate who rails against injustice on the city's public access channel is accused of assaulting two police officers who found him wrapped in foil, wearing an athletic supporter outside of his pants and yelling that he was the King of Egypt.

Anthony R. Hudson, 43, of Hazel Street was charged with a count of felonious assault against a police officer, resisting arrest and criminal damaging after the incident at 4:20 a.m. Wednesday.

Hudson was treated at Akron City Hospital, where he was taken as a matter of police procedure to remove Taser barbs the officers used to subdue him. He was later taken to the Summit County Jail pending his arraignment at 9 a.m. today in Akron Municipal Court.

Hudson first came into the spotlight in the late 1990s when the program he produced, Anything Goes, aired on Warner Cable's public access channel. The show featured nudity and sexually suggestive content.

In 1999, the cable company suspended the show, not because of the nudity, but because Hudson solicited donations of time and money and asked women to be models on the show -- a violation of the channel's noncommercial mission.

Since that time, Hudson has frequently used Channel 15, the public access channel, to criticize city officials, police and court officials.

The most recent incident started when the man who owns the apartment building where Hudson lives called 911 and said Hudson had accused him of shutting off Hudson's electricity. He said Hudson then moved his belongings to the front and side yards of the home.

While the officers were taking the initial complaint over the phone, Hudson allegedly chased three other neighbors down the street while wearing his unusual garb, police said.

When officers went to confront Hudson in his apartment, Hudson yelled ``Danger!'' and tossed two heavy glasses toward Patrolman Vince Yurick -- with one glass shattering on a pillar by Yurick's head and the second breaking on the sidewalk, according to the report.

By that time, Hudson had fortified his gear, adding knee pads and strapping a back brace around his chest. He also was brandishing a knife and yelling about his royal status, police said.

In 2003, Hudson was placed on three years' probation after pleading guilty to a charge of selling a pound of marijuana to an undercover detective. He could have received prison time and still could face some from that offense if this latest one is deemed a probation violation.

The report also notes that Hudson appears to be suffering from a mental illness.

Questions were raised about Hudson's condition after he showed up to the March 30 meeting of the Akron City Council and raised a ruckus.

Hudson always has been a bit loud when trying to make his point -- he was that way when he unsuccessfully sought an at-large seat as an independent candidate in September 2001.

But on March 30, he yelled a racially derogatory term during the Lord's Prayer and stalked angrily around the City Council meeting room.

He ultimately was escorted from the meeting by a police officer after he yelled a remark implying that Council President Marco Sommerville was a racist. Both Sommerville and Hudson are black.

Presumably, Hudson's attendance at the council meeting was in regard to changes made to the rules for using Channel 15. The new rules, which started April 1, include requiring users to pay a $25 fee per taped submission.

Local producers say the changes infringe on their First Amendment right to free speech. One of those producers, Rose Wilcher, filed a federal lawsuit claiming such.

After the March 30 meeting, and after Hudson had been escorted out of the building, he returned. By then, nearly everyone, including the police officer, had left. At that point, Hudson confronted Sommerville again and pointed out that the council president didn't have an officer there to help him, Sommerville said during a discussion of the incident Monday.

That second confrontation ended peacefully -- Sommerville said he and Hudson were supposed to meet the next day, but Sommerville skipped it. But the second incident has prompted discussions of beefing up security in the council's chambers.

Councilman Mike Williams, D-at large, has suggested permanently barring Hudson from the council chambers. He said Hudson's remark to Sommerville was a threat, and that the council shouldn't tolerate such behavior.

The Pentagon said Monday it will use lasers to warn pilots when they've flown into restricted airspace near the Capitol, even though federal officials have warned that terrorists might use the beams of light to blind pilots as they approach airports.

There have been more than 100 incidents nationwide since November in which laser beams have been flashed into cockpits. The aircraft all landed safely, but federal aviation officials are concerned that a laser could be used to blind pilots and cause a crash.
* Story Tools
[Print story] [E-mail story]

The FBI has investigated many of the incidents, and last month a New Jersey man was indicted for allegedly pointing a powerful green laser beam at a small passenger jet.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, said its laser warning system will start in 30 to 45 days. The low-intensity lights are less powerful than the ones that prompted warnings, and tests have shown they are safe for the eyes, according to NORAD.

NORAD spokesman Michael Kucharek said the laser-based warning system someday could replace fighter jets as a way to warn pilots to stay away from the Capitol and the White House.

Hundreds of small private planes have strayed into the restricted airspace in Washington, a 15.75-mile radius around the Washington Monument.

In some cases, NORAD has had to divert or scramble fighter jets to escort them away from the area at a cost of $30,000 to $50,000 each time, Kucharek said.

The challenge for NORAD will be to educate pilots that the red-red-green flashing laser beams mean they're flying in restricted airspace.

The Federal Aviation Administration will send a special notice to pilots describing the lights and what to do if they see them. Pilots who fly around the nation's capital will be briefed about the system Thursday.

The group representing private pilots, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, hasn't seen the new warning system but is wary.

"Any system like this must be absolutely unequivocally safe for the pilots," AOPA spokesman Chris Dancy said. "It cannot cause eye damage, which they say it does not, and it cannot be so distracting that a pilot would lose situational awareness."

Advanced scumbaggery but would it work?

Life sentence for microwave thug

A man who tortured his girlfriend and tried to microwave her head during a vicious 18-hour attack has been jailed for life.

Mark Ravenscroft, 34, of Upper Chorlton Road, Manchester, beat her with a table leg and a metal belt buckle, the city's Minshull Street Crown Court heard.

The assault, in 2004, left 19-year-old Melanie Stewart with cuts and bruises on "every part of her body".

Tina Landale, prosecuting, said Ravenscourt had been drinking.

'Vomited blood'

She told the court that, after punching Ms Stewart in the face and hitting her over the head with a vacuum cleaner, Ravenscroft dragged her into the kitchen and pushed her head into a microwave.

"Although he couldn't shut the door he tried to start it by pushing the safety catch with a pencil," Ms Landale added.

After being beaten and whipped by Ravenscroft for nearly 18 hours, Ms Stewart began to vomit blood. Ravenscroft refused to allow her to leave their flat.

Twenty-four hours later, Ms Stewart started to bleed from her ear at which point Ravenscroft released her.

The police were informed of the attack while she was being treated in hospital.

Sentencing Ravenscroft to life for wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, Judge Adrian Lyon described him as "vicious" and said he would serve a minimum of four years and three months.

Pentagon to use lasers to warn pilots

Man attacked 'for entertainment'

Press Association
Saturday April 16, 2005 5:23 PM

A man may have been attacked in the street so the violence could be captured on a video phone for entertainment, police have said.

The 20-year-old was punched to the ground and kicked in the face in the attack in Southampton.

"It is thought the main reason for the attack may not have been theft but entertainment," said a Hampshire force spokesman.

"Officers believe the man may have been victim of what is known as 'banging out' where someone is assaulted and the whole event is filmed on a camera video phone by the attackers," added the spokesman.

The attack happened at around 11.40pm on Thursday outside the Royal Oak, Even Street, near Central Halls, in Southampton.

The victim told police he was walking back towards The Deanery Halls of Residence when two youths approached him.

"One got either side of him and asked him for a cigarette and a pound. When he said he did not have either they punched and kicked him," said the police.

The attack left the victim with bruising and swelling to his face and head and he had to be treated at Southampton General Hospital.

The attackers were white youths around 16 or 17 years old, and both were wearing "hoody" tops, said the police, who appealed for witnesses to the attack to contact them.

Motorist's nose broken by sausage

A driver is recovering after a frozen sausage was thrown through the window of his moving car, breaking his nose.
The man was driving near his South Woodham Ferrers home in Essex on Monday afternoon when the "bizarre incident" happened, the ambulance service said.

"He was driving his car when the offending item came through his open window and hit him on the nose," a spokesman said.

The 46-year-old managed to stop safely, before passers-by came to his aid.

I feel very sorry for him - it must have been an incredibly lucky or unlucky shot to get the sausage through a moving car window
Ambulance service spokesman

The driver decided not to go to hospital, but lost a lot of blood and has been left with a swollen and painful nose, the service said.

"The man said he was making his way home after work and had the window down because it was such a nice afternoon," the spokesman added.

"He said he saw a car coming the other way and felt a searing pain in his nose. He managed to stop his car without hitting anyone else.

"His nose was undoubtedly fractured.

"I feel very sorry for him - it must have been an incredibly lucky or unlucky shot to get the sausage through a moving car window. I have never seen or heard of anything like this before."

Police said they were investigating.

IMDb entry for Natasha Lyonne

Monday April 18, 11:28 PM

Arrest warrant for "American Pie" actress Lyonne

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York judge issued an arrest warrant on Monday for "American Pie" movie actress Natasha Lyonne, who failed to appear for a court hearing on charges stemming from a rampage during which she was heard threatening to molest a neighbor's dog.

Lyonne, 26, is charged with criminal mischief, harassment and trespass after an unexplained fit of rage last December when authorities said she banged on the door of her neighbor, stormed into the apartment and ripped a mirror from the wall.

Police called to the scene said Lyonne told the neighbor, "I'm going to sexually molest your dog."

Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Abraham Clott issued the arrest warrant after calling her case three times on Monday. Prosecutors said Lyonne showed up in court one hour late, stayed 30 minutes, and left.

It is not the first time Lyonne has been in trouble. In 2001, she lost control of her car while driving drunk, pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months probation.

Woman Claims Assaulted by Bug Man
Web Editor: Steve Dixon

ATLANTA (AP) -- An 88-year-old woman has filed a civil lawsuit claiming that an exterminator pinned her down, shoved a pesticide nozzle into her throat and sprayed it.

Patience Von Suttka, 88, filed the lawsuit Thursday against Orkin Inc. and its former employee, Antonio Battle.

Von Suttka claims the 31-year-old Battle came to her Alpharetta home in March 2004 and became violent after she questioned a higher-than-usual fee for pest control. Battle grabbed Von Suttka’s walker, threw it across the room and jumped on her, she said. “He shoved my shoulders back and started to spray me and pinned my legs back and leaned against them,” she said.

Von Suttka says she got away after biting Battle three times and called the police, who found Battle in her garage when they arrived. In two separate cases, Battle also faces criminal charges of rape and reckless conduct for attempting to poison a woman’s drinking water.

A spokeswoman for Orkin said the company had no problems with Battle in the two years he worked for them. He passed a felony background check and drug test before landing a job there. “We were shocked,” spokeswoman Martha Craft said. “In fact, he was the pest control technician for some of our company’s top executives.” Battle was fired hours after he allegedly attacked Von Suttka, she said.

Von Suttka says she still suffers numbness in parts of her face and neck.A Fulton County grand jury indicted him in November on charges of aggravated assault against Von Suttka and carrying a concealed weapon, said Erik Friedly, a spokesman for the Fulton County district attorney’s office.

Battle also faces charges of trying to poison another Alpharetta woman’s drinking water with pesticides, Friedly said. He is jailed on charges from Clayton County, where he is accused of kidnapping, aggravated assault and two counts of rape stemming from a Sept. 2004 incident, police said. Trials in all three cases are pending.

Overreaction and it must be such bad karma doing that to a priest from a Buddhist temple!!!

Man admits pushing stranger onto tracks over yellow-line fuss

OSAKA (Kyodo) A 37-year-old computer programmer was arrested Thursday for allegedly pushing a 74-year-old man off the platform of an Osaka subway station onto the tracks and seriously injuring him earlier in the week.

Atsuya Shimizu, a resident of Nishi Ward, surrendered to police late Wednesday evening after he saw TV news footage that featured an image of him captured in a safety video monitor at the subway station, according to police.

Shimizu was quoted as telling investigators that he became angry with the man because the victim ignored his warnings about placing his bag on the bumpy yellow warning line for the visually impaired near the edge of the platform.

Shimizu pushed Hiromi Takamoto, chief priest of a Buddhist temple in Kashihara, Nara Prefecture, off the platform at Nipponbashi Station on the Sennichimae Line of the Osaka city-run subway around 8:20 p.m. Tuesday, police said.

Takamoto suffered a fractured skull when he fell onto the tracks.

An approaching train was halted just 200 meters short of the station after a passenger who witnessed Takamoto's fall pushed an emergency button, and Takamoto was carried to the platform by other people at the scene.

According to police, Shimizu quarreled with Takamoto, who was waiting for a train, after the victim placed his bag on the yellow line.

Shimizu once walked away, but returned and pushed Takamoto from behind onto the tracks, police said.

"I pushed him because I warned him not to place the bag on the (yellow line), but he ignored me," Shimizu was quoted as saying to police.

After Shimizu told investigators that he thought Takamoto might be killed by a train, police served him with a warrant for attempted murder, police officials said.

Police publicized images from the platform video monitor at the time of the incident.

Shimizu said he talked to his father after watching TV news featuring the images, and surrendered to the Osaka Prefectural Police force's Nishi Station late Wednesday evening, accompanied by his father.

Teen in chainsaw attack

Orleans, France - A 15-year-old boy from the French city of Orleans has been placed in police custody on suspicion of attacking his brother with a chainsaw and leaving him for dead, legal sources said on Monday.

The teenager allegedly admitted to the crime, but did not explain his motive, sources close to the probe said. The suspect, described as a "student without problems", was due to appear in court on Tuesday.

His 18-year-old brother was found late on Saturday in a pool of his own blood - his face badly mutilated and one of his arms partially severed - in the middle of Orleans, south of Paris.

Emergency personnel were forced to operate at the scene in an ambulance before taking the victim, who lost an eye, to hospital. Doctors said his condition was worrying.

Quoting sources close to the investigation, local newspaper La Republique du Centre reported on Monday that the attack likely occurred in the garden of the family home, located in a upscale residential neighbourhood of Orleans.

The alleged attacker fled the scene and was reportedly arrested on Sunday.

Police, following prosecutors' orders, refused on Monday to comment on the incident.

Woman says her ex tried to drive nails in her hands

Associated Press
May. 19, 2005 04:55 PM

MUNCIE, Ind. - Police arrested a man who allegedly tried to drive nails into his ex-girlfriend's hands and screws into her head.

Lavon L. Lampkins, 19, faces felony charges of battery with a deadly weapon and intimidation. He was being held on $15,000 bond.

The woman told police that Lampkins pulled her from her car by her hair last month and demanded she hold out her hand. He then used a wrench to try to drive nails and screws into her, drawing blood from her hand, police said.

Police arrested Lampkins this week during a meeting with his parole officer. He was sentenced to 18 months in prison last August after violating the terms of his probation from a conviction for criminal recklessness.

Snoring man stabbed by disgruntled wife

July 7, 2005, 10:28:13

A man's snoring infuriated his wife so much that she stabbed him in a desperate effort to wake him up.

DeAnn Miller-Boschert, 45, was charged with assault by police after a series of attacks on her husband.

Police Sgt. Jeff Skuza said the woman first poured water on her husband but that failed to wake him up.

Skuza said: "She then stabbed him with a pen in the arm twice. After he went back to sleep, she woke him up again with a workout weight."

Skuza said the man called police from a convenience store he was not seriously hurt and did not seek medical attention.

The man had 'two fresh puncture marks' from the pen but showed no signs of being hit with the 3-pound dumbbell.

Officers said Mrs Miller-Boschert said she wanted her husband to sleep on his side, to stop him snoring.

PRANK COSTS SICK JOKER £4500

Jul 7 2005

Fire hose set off up pal's bottom

By Charlotte Thomson

A MAN who shoved a fire extinguisher hose up a pal's bottom and set it off was yesterday told to pay his victim £4500 compensation.

Brian Kennedy was also ordered to do the maximum 300 hours' community service following the prank that went horribly wrong.

Victim Kristofor Graham, 23, needed a colostomy after his rectum and large intestine were torn.

Last night, Kennedy, 34, said: 'I wish I could turn back the clock. I've apologised to Kristofor a couple of times but I know that's not enough.'

Aberdeen Sheriff Court heard that Kristofor and Kennedy were staying in a B&B in the city while working as shopfitters last September

The men, from East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, had been out drinking with colleagues.

They soaked each other with the extinguisher when they got back to their digs, John Richardson, prosecuting, told the court earlier.

He added: 'The complainer then lay face down on the bed with a pair of boxer shorts on. As he was asleep, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

'He then felt an object being placed in his back passage and he became aware of a loud hissing sound and the fire extinguisher being discharged.

'He was in immediate pain but didn't realise the extent of his pain until he got up to go to work and realised he was bleeding from his rectum.'

Kristofor went home for treatment because he didn't want his mum to be forced to travel north to see him in hospital.

He spent two weeks in hospital but was readmitted with abcesses and needed a colostomy.

Kristofor is still getting treatment and his injuries may never heal.

Kennedy admitted assault to severe injury. Gerrard McGuire, defending, said: 'Mr Kennedy was shattered by the events of that night and has found it very difficult to get over this matter.

'He has spoken to Mr Graham on several occasions and apologised. It was horseplay that went badly wrong.'

Sheriff Kiernan McLernan said he recognised that there was no malicious intent.

He said: 'Had there been any inference of intent then you would be serving a long period in custody

Strippers Arrested in Alleged Spanking

The Associated Press
Saturday, July 9, 2005; 10:50 PM

JACKSONVILLE, Ark. -- Three strippers and two nightclub managers have been arrested for allegedly spanking a Bald Knob trucker at his 31st birthday bash and severely bruising his backside.

After his friends paid $25, Keith Lowery was handcuffed and spanked with a 3-foot-long paddle and a belt while one of the strippers restrained his head with her legs, investigators with the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office said.

Kelly Eslick, 21, a stripper at Sensations nightclub in Jacksonville, northeast of Little Rock, admitted to police that she used a paddle drilled with holes for less air resistance while the two other dancers, Lisa Nolen, 23, and Charlene Smith, 23, used the belt.

The three women were charged with misdemeanor battery, and they and two other club employees _ James Daugherty, 31, and Dena Mitchell, 30 _ were charged with participating in an obscene performance at a live public show, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

Daugherty had planned to have patrons sign a waiver releasing the club from liability, but investigators said the club has agreed to discontinue all spankings. All five club employees were arraigned Friday, then released after receiving an Aug. 4 court date in Pulaski County District Court.

Man cuts feet off 'promiscuous' wife

Tracy McVeigh
Sunday July 10, 2005
The Observer

A Pakistani man and some of his relatives chopped off his wife's feet after accusing her of being promiscuous, police said yesterday.

The woman survived the gruesome attack, the latest in a wave of assaults that have raised international concern about the plight of women in rural Pakistan.

'It is a shameful act of cruelty against a woman,' said Talat Ali, a senior police official in Punjab.'

The 32-year-old woman told police her feet were chopped off on 24 June by her husband, her father-in-law, a brother-in-law and two others after they accused her of being 'of bad character', a euphemism for promiscuous.

Violence against women is common in rural Pakistan where tribal and feudal customs hold sway.

The latest incident occurred in central Punjab province where the 2002 gang-rape of a woman, Mukhtaran Mai, on the orders of a village council, triggered an international outcry.

Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf, who is trying to project his country as a moderate Muslim nation, has condemned violence against women.

The woman in the latest incident had separated from her husband but had gone to his family's house to see her daughter, police said.

Her father-in-law chained her up and that night he and the others took her to the edge of their village and cut off her feet.

Two days later her parents reported her missing and police raided the house, found her and took her to hospital, where she remains.

'There is no evidence that she was of bad character,' Ali said.

Bizarre incidents at Travel Host
By The Williston Herald

Aaron John David Sadowski of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, 30, was returned to the custody of U.S. Border Patrol officials after a series of bizarre incidents at the Travel Host Motel Saturday morning.

Around 9:30 a.m., Sadowski had reportedly wrecked a room at the hotel. Later, he was found wielding a live chain saw and performing a "Kung Fu" type dance outside the hotel. He then was carrying an axe around and continued his odd behavior, witnesses reported.

Authorities were called. Sadowski reportedly got in his car, and a high-speed chase ensued. Sadowski was reportedly stopped and taken into custody along the 600 Block of Second Street West.

Sadowski was wanted by the U.S. Border Patrol prior to the incidents and chase for illegal entry into the United States.

No estimate was available about the damage to the hotel room.

“You were one of a group of men involved in drug smuggling,” Lord Justice Hooper told Joseph Augustine in the Court of Criminal Appeal in London, “and you helped to set up a safe house in St Peter’s Street in Bedford. The purpose of this flat was to allow drug mules from the West Indies to hide out after travelling to Britain, until the drugs they had swallowed had passed through their system.

“In September 2003, you were looking after a drug mule, who had swallowed a kilogram of cocaine before leaving Trinidad. When the £50,000 payload you were expecting did not appear, you and your gang became impatient, and began force-feeding the smuggler with prune juice. You then resorted to what have been termed ‘extreme measures,’ such as inserting a broom handle and a carving knife into his anus, in an attempt to extract the drugs, although these attempts also failed.

“The man later escaped from the flat, and was found by neighbours, crawling in the street with various objects Philip Thompson protruding from his anus. The cocaine was subsequently removed from his belly by surgeons in hospital. Police then raided the flat, and found what has been described as ‘a fully greased-up Hoover,’ with which you had tried to suck the drugs out of the mule’s bottom. They also found several electric toasters, which you have admitted were also part of the unsuccessful extraction process, although it remains unclear what use they would have been. You were subsequently convicted of smuggling cocaine at Luton Crown Court, and jailed for five years.

“You are now seeking leave to appeal on the grounds that the jury acquitted you of possession of the drugs, and that this was inconsistent with their guilty verdict on the smuggling charge. However, we see no reason why the two verdicts should be regarded as logically inconsistent, and therefore dismiss your application for permission to appeal against conviction.” (Bedfordshire on Sunday, 19/6/2005.
