‘Bomb threat’ at Home Depot was just a warning from man needing to poop – “You all need to get out of here because I’m fixin’ to blow it up”
(Meredith) — A Kansas man said he had no intentions of setting off an actual bomb when he told other customers that he was going to “blow up” the bathroom at a Home Depot.
Turns out, he was just talking about a bowel movement.
Officers were called to the home improvement store in Wichita around 12:15 p.m. Monday after an employee reported a bomb threat, according to the Wichita Eagle.
The employee told police he was standing at a urinal when a customer came out of a bathroom stall and said: “Somebody told me there’s a bomb in the building. You need to leave the building.”
The customer said he overheard another man say, “You all need to get out of here because I’m fixin’ to blow it up,” the newspaper reported.
Police later identified the man who gave the warning. He reportedly told an officer he “had no intention of causing such alarm.” The man said another person understood the joke and laughed because they knew it was just “a polite warning to the other patrons of the bathroom.”
Home Depot does not want to press any charges.
The Wichita Police Department later shared a link to an article about the incident on its Facebook page, with the caption: “Can anyone relate!! LOL!”
Caught on camera: Deputies put mud on surveillance camera to block view
IMPERIAL, Mo. (KMOV.com) – The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department launched an internal affairs investigation after an Imperial resident filed a complaint about the actions of three deputies, which were recorded on a home security system.
Ashley Mathis first noticed something unusual Sunday night.
“I was getting ready for bed, we’d been gone all day. And I looked over at the monitor, because it sits on the desk in our bedroom and noticed that camera 1 is black,” said Mathis.
Mathis and her fiancé, Gary Schuetz, backed up the video for camera 1 and saw three deputies walked into their yard earlier in the day while the couple was gone. Then the video shows one of the deputies reaching up and putting something on the lens, blocking its view. The security camera turned out to have mud on the lens.
“I want to know what they were here for,” said Schuetz.
Mathis said the actions of the officers were suspicious and very concerning, so she filed a formal complaint with the sheriff’s department.
“Why would the Jefferson County police officers have the need to come and cover my cameras, what was their intentions?” she said.
The sheriff’s department released a statement that said, in part:
“We began an internal affairs investigation immediately because an incident like this is something we take very seriously. This is not a standard practice and it appears to be an isolated incident.”
After interviewing all three deputies, the sheriff’s department said the officers had gone to the house because they had an arrest warrant out of St. Louis County for an individual who was believed to be living in the home. No one was there at the time but sheriff’s officials say one of the deputies decided to cover the lens of the security camera, hoping the individual wouldn’t see them approach if they returned.
The officer didn’t return to the home and Mathis said they had the wrong address because she’s lived there since 2008.
“This is uncalled for,” said Schuetz.
The sheriff’s department characterized the officers’ decision to put mud on the surveillance camera as a lapse in judgment. But a spokesperson for the department said the officers would learn from the experience and that this mistake wouldn’t happen again.

Church group files complaint against Carnival Cruise Line for playing R. Kelly’s music
Article via YahooNews
Members of a Scotland-based church group clashed with a Carnival cruise ship DJ, who they claim ruined their trip when he refused to stop playing music by R. Kelly. Unsatisfied with the company’s response to the incident, the group has now filed an official complaint.
The Rev. Teri Peterson of The Church of Scotland told the Scotsman that she and several other clergywomen were aboard the Carnival Magic liner cruising through Miami when they heard Kelly’s music coming from the ship’s nightclub. Outraged, she and her friends approached the DJ and asked him to turn it off “because of everything surrounding the singer.”
Kelly has been the subject of sexual abuse allegations for many years. Surviving R. Kelly, a documentary released in January, shined a renewed spotlight on the performer’s alleged transgressions, prompting new calls for boycotts and criminal investigations.
When asked by the church group members to stop playing Kelly’s songs, the DJ “refused and then began singing and dancing along and mocking us,” Peterson said. Then when the women ran into the DJ in a different part of the cruise ship, she said, he made fun of them again.
The reverend was on the ship with more than 60 fellow members of RevGalBlogPals, an international online community for female clergy, ministers, and community leaders, for which Peterson is an office bearer. Peterson said that once she returned home, she spent five days emailing the company and even communicated her gripes in meetings with the cruise ship’s management.
In a statement shared with Yahoo Lifestyle, the church group said of the trip:
“We showed up for camaraderie, for rigorous study … and — as individuals who accompany countless others through celebrations and trauma alike while navigating the complexities that arise in our own lives — we showed up for respite. Unfortunately, for 9 of us who identify as Black women, our time aboard the Carnival Magic was colored by our experiences of taunting and discrimination at the hand of the ship’s employees.”
Then they described approaching the DJ, Bl4ck Zoe. “When we all gathered around the DJ Bl4ck Zoe’s booth to request that he change the music, he laughed at us all, shrugged his shoulders, began singing and dancing, and refused to honor our request.”
The cruise ship staff offered her a $100 onboard credit, she said, but no apology. Management also sent a letter to the church leaders, which they shared with Yahoo Lifestyle. It read:
“We had a small group of guests who took issue with two songs that our DJ was playing in a nightclub well after midnight. While we only play radio versions of popular music that have been sanitized so that offensive language has been removed, we do not make a habit of banning music as we have a broad cross section of guests. Our shipboard team listened to the concerns of these guests and provided a goodwill gesture. We are proud of the many ways we’ve been recognized for our commitment to diversity and inclusion and every day we work to make sure our guests and crew feel welcome and part of the Carnival family. We’re sorry this group feels otherwise.”
A spokesperson for Carnival added, “Our employees come from more than 150 countries around the world, so diversity is a hallmark across all our cruise brands.”
For Peterson and her fellow clergywomen, this is not enough.
“The response from Carnival makes me really angry,” she told the Scotsman.
A spokesperson for Carnival explained the company’s stance in a statement to the newspaper.
“We had a small group of guests who took issue with two songs that our DJ was playing in a nightclub well after midnight,” the spokesperson said. “While we only play radio versions of popular music that have been sanitized so that offensive language has been removed, we do not make a habit of banning music as we have a broad cross-section of guests. Our shipboard team listened to the concerns of these guests and provided a goodwill gesture. We are proud of the many ways we’ve been recognized for our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and every day we work to make sure our guests and crew feel welcome and part of the Carnival family. We’re sorry this group feels otherwise.”
But Peterson is still holding out for a resolution. “They had so many chances to do better and do the right thing, but they made it worse,” she said. “We want Carnival to first of all apologize for a significant customer service failure and to make sure that there are better choices in their music and entertainment lineup. Also to update their training so that this doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
She also said in the group’s statement that the clergywomen requested that Bl4ck Zoe be “removed from his duties.”
Yahoo Lifestyle has reached out to Carnival Cruise Line for comment.

Fox News Refuses to Run Ad About Dangers of Nazism As It’s ‘Not Appropriate’ for Hannity’s Audience
Article via Newsweek
Fox News refused to broadcast an advert for the documentary A Night at The Garden, which warns of the threat of Nazism in the U.S., as it was “inappropriate” for their audience. That’s according to reports.
The 30-second spot to promote the Oscar-nominated short film was originally purchased by the film’s distributor Field of Vision, through the Charter Communication’s Spectrum service, to air in the Los Angeles area, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The clip shows archive footage of an American Nazi rally that took place at New York’s Madison Square Garden in 1939 shortly before the start of World War II. It ends with the tagline: “It can happen here.”
The broadcast spot also shows the moment 26-year-old Jewish man Isadore Greenbaum stormed the stage in front of the 20,000 German-American Bund supporters to interrupt a speech by the group’s leader, Fritz Kuhn. Greenbaum is then beaten to the ground and dragged off stage.
The trailer did not run in the end because the network decided to air breaking news coverage of President Donald Trump’s rally in El Paso, Texas, instead.
Field of Vision then purchased a national spot for the advert to be played during Sean Hannity’s show on February 11.
In an email seen by THR, a Fox News national ad sales spokesperson told the distributor’s media-buying agency that Fox News’s CEO Suzanne Scott deemed the ad “not appropriate for our air.”
In a further statement to The Week, Marianne Gambelli, president for ad sales at Fox News, said the advert was rejected because it contains “disgraceful Nazi imagery regardless of the film’s message and did not meet our guidelines.”
Marshall Curry, director of A Night At The Garden, said he is shocked that Fox News would intervene and prevent the ad from showing.
“The film shines a light on a time when thousands of Americans fell under the spell of a demagogue who attacked the press and scapegoated minorities using the symbols of American patriotism,” Curry told THR.
“It’s amazing to me that the CEO of Fox News would personally inject herself into a small ad buy just to make sure that Hannity viewers weren’t exposed to this chapter of American history,” he added.
The ad will still air locally in Los Angeles during Hannity on February 14 after the original ad was scrapped. The film’s distributor is still hoping to air the ad national on other cable networks, THR reports.

Infowars host Alex Jones to be deposed in defamation suit brought by Sandy Hook parents
Discussions on Jones’ web show have called the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a hoax, and lawsuits by families of eight victims and a first responder say they’ve been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers.
The superior court judge also ruled Wednesday that the families can depose several other defendants in the case, including those critical to Infowars’ business operations.
Jones has defended the discussions on his show. He has cited First Amendment rights and says he believes the shooting happened.
B. Smith Alzheimer’s takes a toll her Husband. He finds love with another woman.
To me this is the most disrespectful thing he could ever do to her. B Smith is not in her right mind. And yes I too have gotten in my feelings because the other woman was white. If she was black I’d have the same problem. Now there’s an alleged Brovo reality show in the works.
Bravo Greenlights Reality Show With B Smith’s Husband & Mistress!!
Bravo has just greenlit a new reality show star legendary Black model B Smith, her husband Dan Gasby, and his mistress Alex Lerner.
According to an EXTREMELY RELIABLE insider, former Real Housewives Of Atlanta producer Carlos King has signed on to produce a reality show for Dan, B, and Alex – and Bravo has already GREENLIT THE PROJECT.
The show, the snitch tells MTO News, will follow the life of B Smith, Dan and Alex- and will focus on, “The fabulous life of Alex and Dan, and how they lovingly take care of B Smith.”
Dan and his new mistress Alex will reportedly live the high life – splitting their time between NYC and The Hamptons. And B Smith will be “lovingly cared for” by the couple.
Producer/creator Carlos King is known for bringing the BEST reality shows on television – all of his shows are FULL of drama and VERY messy.
B. Smith, 69, was a millionaire, a top model, a restauranteur, and a TV personality – many referred to her as the Black Martha Stewart. But her life took a turn for the worse 10 years ago, when she was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Since then, her husband of 27 years, Dan Gasby, a former TV executive, has been caring for her. In 2016, the couple wrote a book about the early stages of Alzheimer’s titled “Before I Forget: Love, Hope, Help, and Acceptance in Our Fight Against Alzheimer’s.”
Last year Dan Gasby, 64, did something that many think is unthinkable. He started openly carrying on a relationship with a White woman, 53-year-old Alex Lerner .
All the while, his wife B Smith continues to deteriorate mentally.
Many fans of B. Smith are upset with what Dan and Alex are doing. The fans believe that it is disrespectful for Dan to openly date his girlfriend and constantly post to his social media images of the girlfriend and B. Smith as she battles her heartbreaking disease.
The show, we’re told, will explore those issues.
This is an MTO News EXCLUSIVE report.

Fake doctor claimed to have the cure for diabetes
A Florida man who posed as a doctor claimed he could cure diabetes through a dubious procedure transferring the patient’s own blood back into them, according to officials
Onelio Hipolit-Gonzalez, 73, was arrested Tuesday in connection to a medical scam which advertised his services on a site called “Elclassificado,” according to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office.
Hipolit-Gonzalez posed in a white lab coat on the site and claimed he treated a range of illnesses from leukemia to multiple sclerosis, authorities said.
The Florida Department of Health alleges he never had a medical license in the state.
An undercover officer arranged an appointment last week with Hipolit-Gonzalez — who requested $160 for the visit and asked to meet at a residential home, officials said.
“Hipolit-Gonzalez checked the patient’s blood pressure and pulse and then placed a band around the patient’s head and had him hold a metal rod (both the band and the rod were connected to a machine on a table),” authorities said. “Once turned on, the machine began making beeping noises. Hipolit-Gonzalez told the patient, that the device was testing his heart, brain, intestinal system, bones, nerves, and ‘everything else.’”
When the test was complete, the so-called doctor diagnosed the patient with diabetes and osteoporosis, according to authorities.
Hipolit-Gonzalez then claimed he previously cured diabetes for another patient and could treat the undercover cop for $2,000.
Officials said he went on to explain that the treatment would include injecting the patient with “his own blood.”
The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office then intervened and brought Hipolit-Gonzalez in for questioning.
When asked about the bizarre procedure, Hipolit-Gonzalez said “he draws the patient’s blood, and then injects the same blood he just withdrew,” according to police.
“He said when the blood enters the body it ‘combats’ the blood cells and increases the immune system,” officials said.
In regards to his medical background, Hipolit-Gonzalez claimed he was a lab technician in Cuba then got a certificate in Florida for iridology, herbology and nutrition.
Charges were filed against Hipolit-Gonzalez for unlicensed practice of a health care profession and unlawful use of a two-way communication device.
Hipolit-Gonzalez is being held on $10,000 bond.

DMV stalker anonymously sent pizzas to staff for months
Truly, madly, deep-dish pizza?
Police say a stalker in Missouri tried to win over employees at the DMV office for months by having pizzas anonymously delivered to them.
Timothy Howe, 34, was more enthusiastic than most when it came to waiting at the Driver’s License and Vehicle Registration Office in Troy, according to a release Monday from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.
Howe would often come up with excuses to visit, including asking for duplicate titles and other vehicle registration-related papers, authorities said.
Employees said Howe’s vehicle was spotted driving through the parking lot “at all times of the day,” the release said.
Police said Howe ordered pizzas anonymously for the entire staff until one employee asked him not to buy her pizzas anymore. He then allegedly “bought them for everyone in the office, except for her.”
In November 2018, the alleged stalker left a “large amount of cash” on the DMV countertop, saying to the staffer, “Go get yourself a manicure or pedicure,” according to deputies.
The incident was reported to the Compliance Investigation Bureau and Howe was banned from frequenting the DMV office.
“Shortly after, Howe was able to obtain one of the victim’s cell number and he sent her a Merry Christmas text and other odd text messages,” authorities said. “One victim stated Howe drove past her twice while she gassed her vehicle and [she] felt unsafe around him.”
Detectives opened an investigation into the complaints Feb. 6 and arrested Howe when he was spotted driving near the Troy office.
Stalking and harassment charges were filed against Howe. He was booked into the Lincoln County Jail on a $20,000 bond.
