70-year-old Florida man driving on highway stands through sun roof, leaves car on cruise control at 100 mph
Polk County, FL (WFTS) — Florida Highway Patrol Troopers arrested a Lakeland driver after being caught on video standing through a sun roof as the car continued to speed down Interstate 4 in Polk County.
An off-duty Hillsborough County Sheriff’s deputy was behind 70-year-old Leonard Olsen when he stood up while driving westbound on I-4 at a high rate of speed, according to an arrest report.
Video captured Olsen standing up in a white Cadillac with his arms spread open around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday.
In a sworn witness interview, the deputy said Oslen “bounced back and forth in the center lane…and sped up to over 100 miles per hour and slowed to about 40 miles per hour.”
Troopers caught up to Oslen on US-98 and Wedgewood Estates Blvd.
When asked why he did it, Olsen told troopers he wanted to praise God.
“I thought it would be a nice way to praise God for a minute, and I thought it would be nice at the time and that’s what I did,” he said, according to arrest records.
He also told deputies the vehicle was in cruise control at the time.
“The car drivers itself and has a gigantic computer in it,” he said according to records.
Before he was detained, Olsen told FHP troopers he’d rather go to jail than go home.
“My wife treats me like a servant and she’s the mistress,” he said. “Lock me up, I’d rather go to jail than go back home.”
Olsen is charged with reckless driving.
He remains booked at the Polk County Jail on a $21,000 bond.

Man with handcuffs, dog chain, condoms and a Plan B pill in his possession thought he was meeting 13-year-old girl for sex
McKinney, TX (KTVT) — Authorities in Texas arrested a man who they say went to the town of McKinney on Wednesday with the intention of having sex with a 13-year-old girl.
Dillon Summerlin, 21, was charged with online solicitation of a minor.
Authorities say an investigator with the Collin County Sheriff’s Office posed as the girl in an online forum and started communicating with Summerlin. The 21-year-old told the “girl” that he would travel to McKinney to have sex with her.
When Summerlin arrived at the meeting location on Wednesday, deputies made the arrest. He was found with handcuffs, a dog chain, condoms and a Plan B pill in his possession.
Authorities say they are also investigating his cellphone and that additional charges are possible.
“If you use the Internet to prey upon our children, or if you travel to Collin County for the purpose of having sex with a child, we will find you,” Chief Deputy Matt Langan said.

Funeral home accused of secretly selling body parts
MONTROSE, Colo. (KMGH) — A Colorado funeral home is accused of victimizing families after claims that it secretly sold body parts in the hours after death.
Megan Hess, the owner of Sunset Mesa Funeral Home in Montrose, and her parents are now under investigation by the FBI.
Contact7 Chief Investigative Reporter Tony Kovaleski traveled to Montrose and talked to more than a half dozen family members — now victims — about what they describe as a scheme to profit from their pain.
With a population of about 20,000, Montrose is a community surrounded by the beauty of the Rocky Mountains. It’s a community struggling to understand the stories and the accusations about what happened in the back room at Sunset Mesa.
“I go to sleep with the visions of him being dismembered with a power saw,” said Ruthie Pettyjohn, whose son’s body parts were allegedly sold.
Pettyjohn now lives with the memory of what happened to the body of her 26-year-old son, Brian.
“They desecrated his little body,” she said. “They cut him up in pieces and sent them all over the place.”
Connie Hanson’s son’s body parts were also allegedly sold. Like many, Hanson found out about her son Frederick during a phone call from an FBI agent.
“It’s sickening,” said Hanson. “[The FBI] told me his head was sent to so-and-so. His two shoulders went somewhere else. I said ‘I don’t want to hear anymore.’”
Another alleged victim said her mother’s body was desecrated.
“I’ve been violated,” said Alena Holloman. “My mother and my mother’s body has been desecrated.”
Holloman now deals with the guilt of knowing details of what happened to her mom’s body.
“She was sold, embalmed and shipped out within just a few hours of her death,” said Holloman.
They’re united by the pain of believing they purchased cremation services for their loved ones, knowing they never agreed to let Hess dismember the bodies.
They are struggling with claims she created a product with a power saw and angry that she ultimately profited from the sale of arms, heads legs, torsos even whole bodies.
“Body snatcher, vile, pure evil, sociopath,” are the words they used when asked to describe Hess.
Jacque Hampson spent a year working as Hess’s personal assistant. She told Contact7 Investigates that she heard bodies being dismembered.
“You could hear the machine going,” she told Kovaleski. “It was kind of creepy.”
Hess, along with her mother and father, are all named in a lawsuit, which accuses them of using a backroom to dismember cadavers with a power saw and stack body parts in coolers.Choose a Room with a View of Whatever you LikePick the room of your choice and get our Price Match Guarantee…Only at Hilton.comAd By Hilton See More
The lawsuit claims the three sold torsos for $1,000, a pelvis with upper legs for $1,200. Heads went for $500 and $250 for a knee — prices at significantly discounted rates compared to other body brokers.
The lawsuit estimates the three were making $40,000 a month from the sale of body parts.
Denver attorneys Mike Berg and Dave Teselle now represent more than 50 families who claim Hess and her parents victimized them.
“Think about it, the FBI came in and raided them, and they raided them because they knew this body broker — this was getting bigger and bigger and bigger,” said Berg. “Its tentacles go throughout not only the country but the world.”
“These people deserve to know why what was done to them was done to them. Why their loved ones were stolen from them, and they were given back dry cement or sand and told it was loved ones’ ashes,” said Teselle.
The FBI hired a lab to test the cremains given to the families, and they have determined the boxes of ash contain cement, sand and other non-human particles. Hanson’s box included wires and what appear to be old batteries.
“I know these are not his ashes because his body parts went all over the country,” Hanson said.
Hoping to get answers, Denver7 visited Hess’ home in Montrose. We were greeted at the door by her father, who told us to leave the property.
Colorado regulators have shut down the funeral home.

Pokemon Concept Artist Keiko Moritsugu Wants Anime to End Fan Service, Says Industry Needs to be More Like Disney and Marvel
Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed written in the bolded paragraph is the opinions and views of the blogger Tawny Hembry and NOT of lovelyti, Lovelyti LLC. and or her Bloggers.
These FAKE ASS white SJW’s (Social Justice Warriors) need to shut the fuck up. These people cannot help themselves. They’re always wanting to dictate and change something that is different than they are. Anime was created for and by Japanese people. These talented amazing people decided decades ago to invest in the U.S market. The U.S liked what they saw. Anime is created of different genres much like you would find in live action movies and television shows. Many of them have adult themes and very expressive unique storytelling. That can’t be told through live action dramas , comedies, or horror flicks etc. These White SJW’s have influenced one artist from Japan and it’s sad because I and I’m sure the Japanese some Japanese people would agree. WHY are you wanting CHANGE What works for the Japanese and American audience? WHY would you want to appease these SJW’s? These SJW’s probably don’t even look at these anime they probably don’t even know what anime is . If these SJW’s got what they wanted Attack on Titan would be trash. I was BLOCKED by Keiko Moritsugu. For simply giving my respectful opinion of the matter. WOW these SJW’s have tainted Her independent thinking . No screenshot of what I wrote but it doesn’t matter because it’s still up I just can’t tweet her back. Idgaf though. It must be nice to be able to block those you disagree with. It can be refreshing to hear or read other people’s opinions; viewpoints. This would be healthy dialogue. You would have in person but people can’t do that anymore. Folks are so afraid to give their opinions and their thoughts so they shut down. To be able to give your opinions and your thoughts is the most liberating thing imaginable . #sometimesihatesocialmedia
Keiko Moritsugu, a Pokemon concept artist and character designer as well as CG artist for Doraemon, took to Twitter to criticize the Anime industry and it’s willingness to service fans. She went on to condemn the sexy fan service seen in much of Anime.
She also stated that she wished the industry would evolve like Disney and Marvel by “interweaving” social issues within their products.
Keiko Moritsugu took to Twitter on the issue. Using Google Translate it reads:
“The ability to update the quality of Disney and Marvel movies every year is something that has become a contentious issue in the real world. Japan anime can’t do that anymore. “If you mix the erotica, you can fool the geeks, right? Because I’m making in the methodology.”
One Angry Gamer’s translation provides a bit more detail.
“Disney and Marvel films are in a position where each year they improve their quality, because they take actual societal issues and incorporate them into the middle of the script while interweaving them into difficult criticisms of the world.
Japanese animated films are not capable of doing that at this time.
How do we blend in erotic fan-service to swindle otaku out of their money?’ seems to be the current methodology to produce content in Japan.”
As you’d expect, Moritsugu’s message resonated with the growing Social Justice elements trying to influence the Japanese anime industry. Her comment received over 2,500 likes and over a thousand retweets.
With one user agreeing to a point about the change they believed should happen in Anime but stating that Marvel and Dinsey wasn’t the way:
Moritsugu Keiko took her message further. She would point to the movie Zootopia as an example. She said that if it were made in Japan people would be up in arms claiming it was made for minorities and feminists:
Anime in recent years, like video games, has seen a growing social justice movement within the industry.
We’ve seen rumblings of this in January, when a number outlets refused to review Crunchyroll and Kadokawa’s The Rising of the Shield Hero. In fact, not only did a number of outlets refuse to review the show, but they attacked the show for including a false rape allegation as a plot point. Kadokawa Producer Junichiro Tamura would address the “controversy” revealing there isn’t one in Japan. “We in Japan do not see these anime as controversial, so we will continue to produce more content like Shield Hero.”
In fact, just last month, it was revealed the novel and manga adaptation of the The Rising of the Shield Hero had printed over 6.2 million copies in Japan since it first hit the market in August 2013. Yusagi had previously reported that the novel and manga series had been printed over 4 million times on February 25,2019. That means there have been 1.2 million printings in less than 2 months!
Rising of the Shield Hero is not the only anime to face criticism. Sword Art Online author Reki Kawahara allegedly noted that he should write stories with “political correctness” in mind after visiting fans in the West.
What do you make of Keiko Moritsugu’s opinions on the anime industry? Do you think the inddustry needs to change? Or do you agree with her detractors that the social justice agenda should be kept out of anime?
Mom charged after child opens backpack filled with ‘hundreds of bugs’ at school
MILTON, Fla. — A 33-year-old mother is facing multiple counts of child neglect after investigators made a disturbing discovery at her home.
According to WTSP, it all started when teachers at school took notice of one of Jessica Stevenson’s five children.
They all reportedly suffered from poor hygiene, and at least one child was seen wearing the same dirty clothes for a week.
The child told the school’s behavior coach that she couldn’t remember the last time she had a bath or shower.
WTSP said the behavior coach had also seen “hundreds of bugs” crawl out of the girl’s backpack at lunch.
Deputies went to the children’s home where they discovered roaches crawling throughout the house.
The kitchen shelves were empty and there was rotten food in the fridge.
The local TV news station reported that Stevenson’s bedroom was a stark contrast from the rest of the home.
Her space was said to be clean and had “minimal roaches.” She also reportedly had a flat screen TV in there along with snacks.
She has since bonded out of jail.

Utah mom files civil rights suit against bus driver who closed doors, dragged biracial son – bus driver denies he’s racist because his dog is black
Disturbing video shows a 13-year-old boy’s backpack getting caught in the doors of his school bus, then being dragged nearly 175 feet as the bus drove away. Now his mother is suing the Utah school district, saying the bus driver intentionally dragged her child because he’s biracial.
Brenda Mayes claims that the Davis School District bus driver has had a history of “racial animus” towards biracial children, and that animus almost led to her child being seriously injured, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday with the U.S District Court Northern Utah Division.
Video given to NBC News by Mayes’ attorney shows the incident from February in which Mayes’ son was departing the bus at West Point Junior High, roughly 30 miles north of Salt Lake City, when the doors closed on his backpack. The bus then moves, dragging the boy for what Mayes’ lawsuit estimated to be 150 to 175 feet.
Mayes claims in her lawsuit that her son was subjected to racial discrimination, harassment, assault and bullying by the bus driver in violation of Title IX and Fourteenth Amendment protections.
The district, the county’s transportation director and the bus driver are all named as defendants in the case.
Had the boy’s backpack straps broken, he “would have dropped to the pavement and could have been run over and killed by the bus or could have sustained serious injuries by the fall onto the concrete,” the lawsuit said.
“He could’ve been crushed,” Mayes told NBC News on Thursday. “That wheel would’ve crushed him, one turn could’ve crushed him.”
Mayes filed a complaint against the bus driver, John Naisbitt, but says nothing was done when she first brought up the incident with school officials. The transportation director, Dave Roberts, was dismissive of her complaints, Mayes said.
Naisbitt retired while the district was investigating, according to the lawsuit. The school district confirmed in a statement he no longer worked for them.
“All I wanted was them to change some type of policy,” Mayes said. “Honestly got blank stares, no response, no anything.”
She told NBC News this is not the first such incident involving Naisbitt.
In October 2018, Mayes claimed that he closed the doors on a neighbor’s child, and attempted to do the same with her younger son.
Her lawsuit also claims that parents made complaints about Naisbitt in 2017 after he allegedly berated the children on the bus, called them names, and refused to take them to their assigned bus stops.
Davis School District said it could not comment on the lawsuit because it had not yet been served.
“However, when issues of discrimination are raised at any time, they are investigated thoroughly,” the district said in a statement. “The Davis School District takes any claims of racial discrimination seriously and does not tolerate any form of racial discrimination in our schools.”
NBC News made attempts to contact John Naisbitt, but phone numbers connected to him through public records appear to be disconnected.
Naisbitt spoke to Fox13 News in Salt Lake City on Tuesday and said he didn’t see the boy caught in his doors. Naisbitt said he warned kids he would be moving because other buses were lined behind him and claimed the incident was staged after he disciplined the boy’s younger brother.
He denied being a racist.
“Not at all. No. Look at my dog. He’s as black as could be,” Naisbitt told Fox13 News.
