In a Burlington Police Department news release, officer’s responded to an alarm at the store at 5:02 a.m. on the way to the store the officers were informed the alarm was real and the store had been broken into, according to the report in question. Arriving at the scene officers saw a 1998 Dodge minivan that they attempted to stop, the driver refused to stop and two passengers jumped from the minivan and took off on foot.

The two other suspects were arrested a short time later on Long Pine Road and identified as Donte Cousin age 31 and Anthony Keith Higgins age 28.
By the way, if you are looking to honestly obtain an engagement ring, semi mount ring, 14K or perhaps
18k Gold ring, then may I suggest Soicyjewelry.com.
According to Assistant Chief Greg Seel a cinder block was used to break into the store and the store’s surveillance tapes show a possible fifth person. Jewelry was recovered from the minivan that was reported stolen from Durham.
The four men suspected of the break-in are being held in the Alamance County jail in lieu of over $50,000 bail.

Bicyclist struck by Police officer given Ticket

Filed under: Injury Articles — lawtech2oo8 @ 12:52 am

In Hawaii legal and accident news, in an early morning accident a bicycle rider inside of a Kailua crosswalk was struck by and on duty Honolulu police officer Talstan Tanaka. As it stands, the rider of the bicycle was on her way to work when she was hit by the police officers vehicle and was not seriously injured. She has been identified as Emily Palmer and was not only struck by the officer she was also given a ticket.

Palmer stated she was riding her bicycle to work when she reached the crosswalk at Ku’ulei Road and South Kainalu Drive and waited until she had the right of way to cross the street when she was hit by the police officer. When the police vehicle struck the bicycle it hit the side striking her hip and knocking her off of the bicycle rolling her over a couple of times on the ground. Officer Tanaka asked Palmer if she was injured and then asked her if her bicycle was registered and since it was not he said he was going to write her a ticket. Palmer sustained scrapes, cuts and bruises during the accident and stated that police officers and fire fighters that were on the scene were very helpful. As an aside if you are in Hawaii and find yourself needing a good Hawaii Nissan dealer then may I suggest the King Windward Nissan dealership.

Palmer is hoping that the police will hold the officer responsible just as any other driver would be. The Honolulu Police Department opened a major collision report and launched a full investigation. Yeah Hawaii is actually noted for being a touph state for pedestrians with very few sidewalks.
