Former Rhode Island College Wrestler & Current WWE Performance Center Talent Terrance Jean-Jacques Has Been Arrested
WWE – A former Haverhill High wrestling great on the verge of becoming a professional wrestler is facing several criminal charges.
Terrance Jean-Jacques, 24, of 40 Locke St., who signed a contract with World Wrestling Entertainment in April, was arrested Sunday and arraigned Wednesday on charges of assault and battery, kidnapping, witness intimidation, destruction of property and threatening to commit a crime.
He is alleged to have hit his pregnant girlfriend Jillian Gilman, who appeared in Haverhill District Court with Jean-Jacques’ parents, Teresa and Ernest.
Judge Stephen Abany ordered Jean-Jacques held without bail at Middleton jail pending a dangerousness hearing scheduled for Tuesday.
A decorated wrestler at the University of Iowa and later at Rhode Island College, Jean-Jacques appeared to be on the verge of tears as he stood in the courtroom before the judge Wednesday, a maroon Rhode Island College shirt adorning his chiseled 6 foot-3 inch, 250-pound frame.
This story is both sad and troubling, and is noteworthy for a few reasons. Terrence Jean-Jacques used to wrestle right up the road at Rhode Island College and he’s currently signed to a developmental deal with WWE. Both of those things aren’t important though, because he’s currently in jail on multiple charges, including hitting his pregnant girlfriend. Hitting a woman should never be tolerated, but it’s especially awful when you find out that the woman is not only his girlfriend, but she’s also pregnant. It’s a bad story all around, and Jean-Jacques has been indefinitely suspended by the WWE. That seems like a ‘wait and see’ approach by the WWE, because if the facts in this case are correct, he’ll almost certainly be released.

Indiana Jones Was Arrested In Upstate New York
INDY – This was Indy’s last crusade.
Indiana Z. Jones, 21, was arrested Sunday after a 100-mph car chase in Yates County in upstate New York.
According to the Elmira Star Gazette, the hot pursuit began in the Rushville, a small village on the county line.
Jones, driving a 2002 Audi A6, tried to flee a traffic stop.
The chase only lasted six minutes, ending about 12 miles away in the Town of Benton when the Yates County Sheriff’s Office threw down “stop sticks,” spiked devices that deflate tires.
This is one of those headlines that you read and think that the writer or the editor was just in particularly goofy mood when he wrote this story. Then you read the article and realize that 1. this guy REALLY did not want to get arrested and 2. this guy has one of the coolest names of all time. I also need to know what the Z stands for. Zoltan? Zeek? If it’s something as simple as Zack I’m going to so upset. You can’t be named Indiana Jones, engage the police is a 100mph chase and then have Zack as a middle name. It just doesn’t work.

The NFL Offseason Is Starting Out Well: Packers DT Letroy Guion Was Arrested With 357 Grams Of Weed & $190K In Cash
OH GOOD – Packers defensive tackle Letroy Guion was arrested for felony possession of marijuana and felony possession of a firearm in his hometown of Starke, Florida, according to a police report.
The officer who searched the truck also found more than $190,000 in one of the bags in which the marijuana was located, according to the police report. Both the currency and truck were seized and secured due to the amount of marijuana found.
According to the police report, Guion was “extremely uncooperative and hostile” while the truck was initially searched. The officer reported that Guion “kept coming toward the vehicle several times saying, ‘Hey man, my money is in there. Don’t let him take my money.'”
Guion then was secured in handcuffs.
The NFL players couldn’t even wait a whole week before getting into trouble. Last year’s offseason was a nightmare on a number of different levels, and it seems like the 2015 offseason will be just as exciting/depressing. In all honesty, where are you going with that much weed and that much money? I can maybe understand having one and not the other. If you just came from selling a bunch of weed you might have some cash on you, and if you just came from buying some weed you’d obviously have the weed on you. But 357 grams of weed AND $190K in cash? That’s outrageous. 357 grams is a lot of anything, never mind drugs. Maybe he doesn’t trust banks? I don’t know, but the rest of the ESPN article went on to say that Guion was currently in negotiations with the Packers on a long term deal. I have a feeling this story might delay that deal.

If You’re a Male Cop Looking to Get Your Butt Grabbed Then You Bettter Start Hanging Around Claude Giroux
HOCKEY – Claude Giroux was arrested Tuesday night according to the Ottawa Sun. A source told the Ottawa Sun Giroux was “repeatedly grabbing the buttocks of a male police officer” and alcohol is believed to be involved.
Several sources confirmed to the Sun that Giroux spent Tuesday night in jail and he is expected to be released without any criminal charges.
No comment has been made by the Ottawa Police or the Flyers at this point.
The only way this story gets better is if Claude Giroux yelled “tushy squeeze!” every time he grabbed the cops ass. Whether it happened or not, that’s how it played out in my mind. I don’t want to pass judgment, but I’m going to assume things aren’t OK at home for Claude. Flyers lose in the first round of the playoffs and all of a sudden Claude is in Ottawa grabbing everybody’s ass. Whoever the Ottawa Sun’s source is sure has some magnificent detective skills as well. “Alcohol was believed to be involved.” Shocking. I also can’t wait for hockey fans to spin this story into another “hockey players are the toughest” tirade. “Oh you don’t grab other guys butts? Hockey players do, and they’re the toughest athletes in the world!!!”.

Damn You Florida, I Can’t Quit You
Source – A Florida man remains in jail without bond today after telling police he didn’t know cocaine was illegal in the state.
Key West police officers arrested Guy Lanchester on Duval Street last Sunday. A security officer for the Pier House resort saw him and two others acting suspiciously and called police, according to an arrest affidavit.
When officers arrived, they found Lanchester, 46, and the two others near a parking lot. As the officers approached, Lanchester walked behind a flower pot and began fumbling with a small, plastic baggie containing a white, powdery substance, the arresting officer wrote.
When the officer walked up to Lanchester to see what he was doing, he shoved his hands into the dirt inside the flower pot, leaving the baggie behind, according to the arrest affidavit. The white powder later tested positive for cocaine.
Upon his arrival at jail, Lanchester reportedly told officers, “I don’t understand … I thought cocaine wasn’t illegal in Florida.”
Lanchester has been charged with cocaine possession and tampering with evidence, police said.
I really thought 2014 was going to be different. I really thought we’d be able to get through most of this year without the craziness that is Florida engulfing our nation. Then came along Guy Lanchester. Openly doing cocaine in public and then telling the police he didn’t know it was illegal in Florida. In Guy’s world cocaine laws aren’t federal; in fact I’d be willing to bet a lot of money that in Guy’s world cocaine laws don’t exist. I also have a sneaky suspicion that Guy wasn’t trying to be smooth with this excuse; he genuinely believes cocaine isn’t illegal in Florida. I respect that and at the same time I’m worried that someone this oblivious to the real world exists. Not excited about flying into Orlando Friday. Not one bit.

Goodbye Justin Bieber
Source – Justin Bieber is in trouble – again.
The pop star was arrested early Thursday for drag racing and DUI in Miami Beach, police confirmed on Twitter. Police say R&B artist Khalil was also arrested.
Bieber was charged with resisting arrest and had consumed alcohol and marijuna, reports AP.
Bieber, 19, was in a rented yellow Lamborghini.
A while ago I wrote about the slow and steady downfall that Justin Bieber was going through. Now before I get started here, I want it to be clear that I could care less if this guy fails. He’s 19 and he’s already made more money than me, slept with more girls and is one of the most recognizable people on the planet. I’m just here to call a spade a spade. You want to know why Justin Bieber is going to fail? Because he lacks the one thing that every famous person had who fucked up and got their life back together: resiliency. He got discovered on YouTube by Usher, made a cute popsy song that attracted literally the easiest audience to attract (young girls) and got a boatload of fame and fortune thrown in his face. Now that the shit is hitting the fan, he wants his bodyguards and inner circle to make everything go away like it’s a bad dream. Unfortunately for him, it’s real life.
Do you ever wonder why so many child actors/musicians have fucked up lives? Because a 16, 17, 18, 19 year old shouldn’t be living in Los Angeles or Hollywood where the vices outnumber pretty much anything good or moral you’re trying to accomplish. That’s why it’s always great to see someone like Justin Timberlake, who got famous young (17 when NSync started taking off), but kept his head above water and turned into an other worldly talent. DUI’s are becoming so common for celebrities that Bieber may get off the hook for this one, go back to making his music for teenage girls, and have a good career. But if I were a betting man, I’d say this is just the beginning of something bad.
Back to the resiliency angle. Does Justin Bieber strike you as someone who deals with animosity well? The same kid who had his bodyguards carry him up the Great Wall of China doesn’t seem like he’s taking the backlash in stride. Again, his bread and butter IS MAKING SONGS FOR TEENAGE GIRLS. Even at the peak of his fame, no one took this guy seriously. So now that everything is going wrong, who does he lean on to get his shit right? If I had cameras in my face 24/7 while websites like TMZ were dissecting my every move, I’d probably lose my mind too. In a way, its kind of sad to see a 19 year old with the world by the balls just be such an idiot and an asshole. Between the constant bad press, on and off retirement and the general dismay people my age or older have for him, it’s going to be a long road back to the top. Like I said, I’m not rooting for him to fail, but at this point, I don’t see any other outcome.

David Mangum Has Been Busy Lately
KANSAS CITY — A Missouri man was arraigned Thursday on charges that he recklessly infected a sexual partner with the virus that causes AIDS, and a prosecutor said he potentially could have infected 300 more people in two states.
David Mangum, 37, faces a felony charge in Stoddard County Circuit Court in southeastern Missouri accusing him of exposing a 29-year-old man to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which causes a life-threatening failure of the immune system commonly known as AIDS, according to court documents.
As well, Mangum admitted to having unprotected sex with more than 300 partners in Missouri and Texas since learning he was HIV positive in 2003, some of whom he had met through ads on the Craigslist Internet site, the court documents said.
“This situation is a serious public health concern,” Russell Oliver, Stoddard County prosecuting attorney, said in a statement. “There are potentially 300 or more unknown victims that have been unknowingly exposed to HIV in this region. If any of those 300 individuals contracted the virus, all sexual partners of those victims have potentially been exposed.”
Mangum, who worked in a grocery store in Dexter, Missouri, was arrested after his former partner learned in July that he was HIV positive. The man told police that Mangum had lied about having the virus.
Dexter Police Detective Cory Mills said Mangum told him he hid his HIV status from sexual partners because he feared they would reject him.
Mangum was assigned a public defender and his bail was set $250,000.
So a grocery store worker that looks like this:
Has had sex with 300 people in the last 10 years. 300 is a lot right? Almost seems like an astronomical number to me. Am I doing something wrong? Graduate college, get a respectable job. Apparently I need to let myself go and work at a grocery store. That’s where the actions is. I mean what’re the odds someone who looks like that will have sex with that many people? 0.2%? And of course he just so happens to be HIV positive. Having sex with people when you knowingly have HIV is a pretty horrible thing to do. Wrap it up man. You obviously have this magnetic charm that allows you to have sex with 300 people. Gift and a curse I suppose.

Clooney Quietly Spying on The Asshole Leader Of Sudan
“Jennifer Aniston, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Connery, Meg Ryan, Dennis Hopper, George Clooney — and of course, John Travolta with this recent gem — these are just a few A-List celebrities who have pocketed big dollars starring in foreign commercials. I’m trying to make movies in my life … that last longer than opening weekend,” Clooney told Newsweek in 2012, explaining why he does these ads. “That’s it, that’s my whole goal. I don’t have to make money; I do films for scale and then, you know, I go do coffee commercials overseas, and I make a lot of money so I get to live in a nice house. … And I don’t give a sh-t. And people will go, ‘Oh that’s a sellout.’ And you know what? F–k you.” While Stacy Keibler’s ex may have made light of being called a “sellout,” he’s putting his money where his mouth is when it comes to spending what he earns. Many stars pocket their ridiculously large paychecks, but George — who appears in commercials for Nespresso — said he’s spending the cash on a satellite aimed at Sudan. “Most of the money I make on the [Nespresso] commercials I spend keeping a satellite over the border of North and South Sudan to keep an eye on Omar al-Bashir [the Sudanese dictator charged with war crimes at The Hague],” the Oscar winner said in Paris on Tuesday. “Then [Omar al-Bashir] puts out a statement saying that I’m spying on him and how would I like it if a camera was following me everywhere I went and I go ‘Well, welcome to my life Mr. War Criminal.’ I want the war criminal to have the same amount of attention that I get. I think that’s fair.” But don’t let the Clooney’s humor and charm take away from what he’s really doing. The Satellite Sentinel Project, Clooney’s spy program, aims to use advanced satellite imagery to monitor potential human rights abuses in Sudan. The SSP tracks movements of Omar al-Bashir’s army and attempts to warn civilians in advance of attacks. Clooney’s passion for Sudanese satellites is hardly random. In March 2012, he and his father Nick Clooney were arrested during a protest outside of the Sudanese Embassy in Washington DC. The protesters accused Omar al-Bashir of provoking a humanitarian crisis and blocking food and aid from entering the Nuba Mountains in the county’s border region with South Sudan. Clooney told The Associated Press that through his actions he hoped to draw attention to the crisis in Sudan.” – Yahoo
You don’t violate a nation’s human rights. Not on Clooney’s watch. He’ll do a million coffee commercials and build a spy satellite that monitor’s your abusive ass 24/7. Oh you don’t like that Mr. Dictator? Clooney says fuck you. First he spies on you. Then you complain about him. And then he wins. He’s a modern day Ghandi, except much handsomer. All jokes aside the guy really is amazing. He could easily pocket his fortune and live on some island with models feeding him grapes. Instead he’s building spy satellites to call out human rights violator’s. You go George Clooney.
