Phony drug agents steal marijuana from Hilmar home

HILMAR -- Merced County sheriff's officials this morning were looking for four suspects who posed as narcotics investigators and robbed marijuana from a Hilmar man at gunpoint Thursday night.

The armed robbery occurred shortly before 8 p.m. at the man's home in the 23000 block of American Avenue, between Faith Home and Tegner roads.

The four suspects arrived at the home in two vehicles and told the man they were with the Drug Enforcement Administration, said sheriff's spokesman Deputy Tom MacKenzie. The suspects said they were at the man's home to check on his marijuana plants and ensure he was in compliance with state law.

After the man took the suspects into his marijuana plants, the suspects pulled out handcuffs and a handgun and handcuffed him.

MacKenzie said the suspects then harvested about 20 mature marijuana plants, throwing them in the back of one of their vehicles. One of the suspects went inside the house and found a handgun, which they took.

The suspects then uncuffed the man and pointed a gun at him, telling him not to tell anyone or they would be back. In the meantime, the Sheriff's Department received a call saying the incident was happening.

MacKenzie said the suspects then left in a green Toyota pickup and a black GMC Envoy sport utility vehicle. The suspects were dressed in shorts and T-shirts, but had nothing identifying them as law enforcement.

No injuries were reported.

MacKenzie said the resident had a marijuana garden for medicinal purposes, and there were some marijuana plants untouched by the robbers. He did not know how many plants were left behind.

The armed robbery in Hilmar comes after authorities in Stanislaus County have seized a significant amount of suspected illegal marijuana in the past three weeks. On Thursday alone, authorities confiscated nearly 2,000 marijuana plants growing at homes in Modesto, Ceres and Patterson.

Investigators ask anyone with information about this armed robbery to call the Merced County Sheriff's Department at (209) 385-7472.

Woman pictured in Te'o hoax talks about perpetrator

Image
Two of the people linked to an expansive hoax involving Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o attended the same Antelope Valley high school, according to the Southern California woman whose photos were used in the ruse. Diane O'Meara, who now works in marketing at STN Media Group in Torrance, spoke to NBC's "Today"  about the incident in a segment that aired Tuesday. In the segment, she said she met the supposed hoaxer, Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, in high school but added that the two were not friends. Paraclete High football coach Norm Dahlia confirmed to The Times that Tuiasosopo played quarterback for the Lancaster school in 2007. A Deadspin.com report published last week first revealed the hoax but did not name O'Meara. The report claims that Tuiasosopo used photos of a girl he met at Paraclete High School in Lancaster as part of a Twitter account for a "Lennay Kekua," a fake woman whom he connected with Te'o. "My name is not Lennay Kek...

Iran Denies Space Monkey Phony

Image
After Iran announced last week that it had launched a monkey into space, web sleuths compared before and after photos of the furry astronaut and cried hoax. They claimed the monkey that made public appearances after the space flight in a bespoke suit looked nothing like the animal that had been shot into space, which seemed to have lighter fur and a mole above its eye. Did a monkey die in flight, asked the conspiracy theorists? Or did no primate ever leave the ground? Now the Iranian space agency has stepped forward to clear up any confusion. According to space official Mohammad Ebrahimi, it's true that the pictures don't match, and that they show two different monkeys. But Ebrahimi said that's not because of a hoax – it's because the pre-flight photo of a light-furred monkey was actually an archival photo and not a picture of the actual animal, Pishgam, who rode the rocket. According to the Iranians, Pishgam took a 20-minute flight and returned to earth s...

College Place Police Call Walmart Bomb Threat a Phony

Image
COLLEGE PLACE, Wash. - College Place Police are investigating an apparent bomb threat hoax at Walmart over the weekend.   Saturday night, police say the College Place Walmart called 911, reporting a bomb threat the store received, set to go off at 6:19 on Sunday morning. Officers and the College Place Fire Department arrived on scene and evacuated the store just before 1 AM that night. Officers and firefighters stayed there overnight blocking the doors, and didn't allow customers or employees back in until 7 AM.   Police say 6:19 came and went, but nothing exploded, no one got hurt, and they couldn't find any sort of explosive device, leading officers to believe the incident was an apparent hoax. Police say they don't know who made the threat, and while they're looking into leads, they don't have any potential suspects yet. Walmart returned to business as usual after 7 am on Sunday.
