Robbery

Tobacco Store Robberies

My sister and nephew share a job at a tobacco store in Franklin, Tennessee. The store has been robbed three times in the time that they have worked there:

1. My nephew got the license plate number and description of the getaway car and even observed it in the parking lot nearby. He reported it to the police. The store is in a busy area and the police are usually present. The police showed up some time later to take a report. When asked why they did not approach the robbers parked in their car the cops claimed they were unable to find the blue car; The car had been described by the victim as white or silver.
2. A thief entered the store, grabbed up packages of cigarettes and fled without paying. My sister followed him out of the store, noted the license plate of the getaway car and immediately returned to the store. She reported the event to the police by phone and provided the plate number. The cops asked which way the car had gone but she had not observed that. There was no further response from the cops.
3. The owner of the shop was working alone. Cigarettes where stolen. He never bothered to make any report to the police.

Sex Crimes

February 3, 2006 A three-year veteran of the El Cajon Police Department was arrested Friday on eight felony counts alleging the officer had solicited sexual favors from women in exchange for their freedom. Officer William Robert Taylor, 26, has been on administrative leave since Dec. 3 after allegations last November of improper sexual conduct with women Taylor had placed in his custody, said Police Chief Cliff Diamond. Since the first allegations surfaced, El Cajon police detectives have identified a total of five victims, the chief said. District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, who attended the news conference, said her office planned to aggressively prosecute the case. “When an officer dishonors the badge, disgraces the uniform, destroys the trust of the public, we must take swift action,” she said. “Police officers are prosecuted just like any person, but it is even more devastating when an officer uses his authority and his badge to gain favors of any kind, especially sexual favors.” Investigators asked anyone who might have more information about the case to call Sgt. Cameron DeMarco at (619) 579-3321.
