Telemarketing Scam In Phoenix

Telemarketing Scam In Phoenix

Phoenix Crimes

Telemarketing has gotten pretty hardcore in the last few years. It seems like this past summer it’s gotten even worse. Thankfully a toughened state law targeting telemarketing scams has led to it’s first criminal prosecution.

Lukeroy Rose is the owner of a Phoenix based Rose Marketing has pleaded guilty to several charges of fraudulent telemarketing business. Which is horrible, but I guess there’s money to be made in it.

Rose was accused of targeting the elderly which is pretty horrible. He solicited them into investing in fake work from home business opportunities.

Phoenix Phone Scam

It’s pretty crappy to pick on the elderly. According to the Attorney General’s Office there were at least sixteen victims that were tricked into investing thousands of dollars over a two year period. That means there was a loss of more than $298,000.

Rose was originally indicted in May 2016 with three of his employees. He went in front of a grand jury for a myriad of criminal charges which include: illegally conducting an enterprise, participating in a criminal syndicate and money laundering.

Rose was released rather quickly, in August on bond. He didn’t waste any time. He started another telemarketing operation around the same time that the Arizona Telephone Solicitations Statue took effect.

Arizona Works to Control Telemarketing Scheme

Officials said that in December the Arizona Attorney General’s Office learned about Rose’s new telemarketing operation. They began to investigate an undercover surveillance team to gain more information about the operation and were able to bring more charges against Rose.

Rose pleaded guilty to “conspiracy to commit theft, fraudulent schemes and artifices, two counts of theft and unlawful telephone solicitations to settle the cases for both telemarketing schemes”. Rose will face five years in prison for the offense.

There were three other people that were indicted with Rose. Those people were: Solana DePaola, Cordell James Bess, and Dino Nick Mitchell. They have all pleaded guilty as well.

Police Investigate Stabbing in the Phoenix Area

Police Investigate Stabbing in the Phoenix Area

Man Arrested for Fatal Stabbing

Another day, another stabbing in Phoenix. A fifty-eight year old man is now being held in connection in a fatal stabbing. The stabbing was of a man and happened near, Ninth Avenue and Hatcher Road. The odd thing is, it happened in broad day light.

Phoenix police said that they met Israel Aguilera near the scene. He was then taken into custody after he admitted to stabbing the victim.

Now, Agulera is facing a first degree murder charge. According to reports, the victim was described as a thirty-five to forty-five year old male. He was taken to the local hospital around four o’clock in the evening. He was sadly pronounced dead at the hospital.

Phoenix Police spokesman, Lewis said that witnesses had scatted after the stabbing, however once they were tracked down by the authorities they said that Aguilera and the victim were actually in some type of argument just before the stabbing.

What the heck is wrong with people? You fight and decide it’s okay to stab someone to death? Quite severe.

Phoenix Police Investigate Stabbings

Bar fights aren’t uncommon anywhere. You have a bunch of drunk people together and someone gets angry, it’s bound to happen.

Police are now investigating after two people were stabbed at a bar in north Phoenix.

According to reports, the bar was at Cave Creek Road which is just south of Greenway Road. There was a double stabbing that night that started after a bar fight at a local tavern.

The two men that got stabbed had allegedly been fighting with a third person. This was inside of the bar. They followed him out when the man tried to leave.

After the fight and stabbing, the third person left the scene. According to reports, the third person stabbed one of the guys in the chest several times. He stabbed the other in the head.

Police are searching for the third person in hopes to question him. They have not stated that he is a “suspect” in the situation. Which I mean, it sounds like self-defense. He was calmly leaving the bar and the guys followed him to finish the fight.

Police Investigate Phoenix Homicide

Police Investigate Phoenix Homicide

Officer Involved Homicide Shooting

What? Another homicide in Phoenix? No way! Yup. Another one. This time it happened at an apartment complex.

The Phoenix Police Department are now going to have to investigate a police officer involved shooting that happened in downtown Phoenix.

According to the reports it happened close to First Avenue and Roosevelt Street. Police say that twenty-seven year old, Jonie Block is now wanted for a homicide that happened earlier in the day.

Sadly, fifty-five year old, Todd Landon was the one to lose his life when he was shot and killed. Landon was found with several gunshot wounds. According to people that knew Landon, he was a maintenance worker at the apartment complex and was well liked.

Friend Statement:

Todd was a very caring individual. He would always go out of his way to help you. He was a great person to know–caring, he loved people, he loved to interact with people as well. He’s going to be very missed. I hope he’s resting in peace now.

Landon’s work truck is sweetly covered in flowers to show love for their murdered friend.

According to the police Block was seen several hours after the first incident by a bystander at the Japanese Friendship Garden who had noticed that she was armed and then called the law enforcement.

Phoenix Shooter

Sometimes investigating a murder can be solved pretty quickly, I imagine. I’m not a police officer so I can’t say for sure anyways. Sometimes it can take years though and sometimes they never get solved.

A crime spree of any time can be pretty darn scary, a killing spree is terrifying! Phoenix had an unnerving experience recently when a crime spree that ended nine people’s lives and stumped the police for a few months.

Luckily, on a  Monday the police in Arizona announced that they had arrested the twenty-three year old man that had became known as the “Serial Street Shooter Case”.

Jeri L. Williams is the Phoenix Police Chief told the local news that they had linked the shootings to Aaron Saucedo. The young man had been in custody since his arrest on April 19th.

Cheif Williams said that he was rebooked on Monday into Maricopa County Jail on the 26th for additional felony counts, which include: eight of homicide, three of attempted homicide, and several drive by shooting and aggravated assault. Talk about about a busy kid.

Chief William’s Statement:

This case plagued our community for more than a year, as the mayor mentioned to you, and left behind a trail of victims that included mothers, sons, brothers, sisters and families still mourning the loss of their loved ones.

The City, County, and Federal Law Enforcement have all put in a ton of hours investigating this case. They’ve had thousands of tips leading to Saucedo’s arrest.

The shootings have happened for months, heck YEARS and the police still have no clue as to why he would do this.

U.S. Marshal, David Gonzales’ Statement:

It’s been said that a serial killer is like a chameleon, and that’s what made this case so frustrating.

Luckily, the court has a pretty huge case against this guy, He probably will spend a good amount of time behind bars. However, he is extremely young, there’s always a way around actual time served. Let’s hope he does serve his time because no one deserves to lose their life for  no reason, this kid just wanted to shoot someone? He need mental help and he needs to stay away from society for a very long time.

Hiring the Right Homicide Lawyer in Phoenix

Having a skilled homicide defense attorney is important in any criminal case, but it is even more critical in a murder case. To properly defend a client against a murder charge, a defense lawyer must be prepared to effectively challenge the prosecution’s evidence. To do so, a Phoenix Murder Defense Attorney must be prepared to effectively cross-examine the prosecution’s witnesses, including any expert witnesses.

 

Expert Witnesses

In some cases, a Phoenix Homicide Defense Attorney may need to use expert witnesses on behalf of the defendant to challenge forensic evidence, ballistics evidence and other scientific evidence presented by the prosecution. We are prepared to do so and have worked with expert witnesses in the past to provide a vigorous defense on our clients’ behalf.

 

In addition to fighting your charges at trial (or seeking a case dismissal for lack of probable cause), we can also negotiate with the prosecution to seek a favorable plea agreement. A plea agreement might involve a plea to a lesser offense or an agreement on sentencing that will significantly reduce the penalties you face.

 

Homicide Defense Strategy

We will take the time to talk to witnesses, investigate what really happened in your case, understand what evidence is in the prosecution’s possession, look for holes in the prosecution’s case, and determine if the police violated your constitutional rights or made other critical errors that can be used to your advantage.

We are committed to raising a strong and comprehensive defense on your behalf. Depending on the facts of your case, the following defenses and strategies may be helpful:

 

  • Self-Defense
  • Insanity
  • Mistaken Identity
  • Suppression of Evidence
  • Challenging DNA, Fingerprint Evidence and other Forensic Evidence
  • Challenging Ballistics Evidence (Relating to Firearms and Bullets)
  • Challenging the Reliability of an Eyewitness
  • Challenging Whether the Evidence Sustains a Murder Conviction
  • Negotiation with the Prosecution to Determine if a Plea Agreement Could

Significantly Minimize the Charges or Penalties you Face

 

We have defended clients against murder charges and other felony violent crimes. You can be confident that you will have a highly skilled and dedicated defense lawyer who will advise you of your rights, help explain the process and work diligently to seek the best possible outcome on your behalf.

Medical Marijuana Banned From Apartment Complex

Apartment Complex Bans Medical Marijuana

Marijuana Banned From Complex

Marijuana at an apartment complex probably isn’t the best thing for those who aren’t using.  The Pointe at South Mountain apartment complex reminded their residents of this just a little while ago. This includes the use of medical marijuana.

Jay’s (resident)Statement:

I thought it was an infringement on people who use this medically. But if someone needed this medically, I think that’s terrible and awfully wrong.

While people might have to have medical marijuana for whatever reason, when they signed their lease they knew that the substance wasn’t allowed on the grounds.

If people keep “forgetting” these rules, the owners say that there will be “consequences”.

According to the Arizona Medical Marijuana Law, it only keeps the property owners from discriminating against those who use it. However, Federally it’s still illegal so they do still have the full power to say if they want it on their property or not.

If you want free range to use your medical marijuana whenever and wherever you want, the best bet is to buy your own home since there’s no laws making property owners to allow you to smoke.

Medical Marijuana Banned from College Campus

When you think of a college campus you think/hope of kids studying and working hard towards their future’s. Of course it’s college so yes, there will be partying. Doesn’t mean that the campus will allow marijuana on their property, whether it’s medical marijuana or not.

Now court battles are happening to take action against State Lawmakers that acted illegally when they made it a crime for medical marijuana users to possess their drugs while they’re on college and university campuses.

Swann’s Statement:

 To the extent a person violates such rules or prohibitions, the state can have the offending party removed or charged with trespassing. The Arizona Medical Marijuana Act does not stop it from creating such policies.

Lawmakers however, can not make criminals out of those who have to use medical marijuana.

Now the fight will begin to make sure that those who use this isn’t punished for have chronic illnesses. As long as they have their medical marijuana card, I don’t see why having it on them is such a bad thing. This is why the  medical marijuana issues need to be more resolved. You can’t set laws and not give clear guidelines.

Hopefully these regulations get fixed so that kids aren’t getting fined for being at school and having their prescribed medicine on them. Kids at school need to concentrate and if they have a condition that causes them to need medical marijuana then they shouldn’t be penalized for their medical condition. Let’s hope the new regulations are fixed fast and there aren’t any more kids that are kicked out of a higher education for this!
