Fifty year old Ian Stuart Wood of Naples, FL was arrested this weekend for the attempted strangulation of his wife.  The domestic dispute allegedly followed an “argument over a game of Yahtzee.”  The Collier County Sheriff’s department received his wife’s 911 call in which she claims her husband tried to choke her until she couldn’t breathe.

Finding an opportunity for escape, Mrs. Wood phoned the police from a neighbor’s house.  Police say upon arrival at the Wood residence, there was physical evidence around the house that implied a domestic dispute.  It is reported that Wood was not cooperative with responding officers on the scene.

According to the Collier County Sheriff’s office, Wood has been charged with domestic battery by strangulation, kidnap, obstruction of justice, and resistance of law enforcement.  His appearance in court is scheduled for October 17.

Woman Wins Walmart Law Suit

October 03, 2011   Meagan Cahuasqui   1 Comment

In Delmont, PA, consumer advocate Mary Bach sued Wal-Mart for unfair pricing.  The incident started when she purchased sausages advertised as 98 cents but was actually charged one dollar.  The two cent discrepancy was then brought to court.

It had not been the first time this particular store had overcharged Bach, so she immediately brought it to the attention of the store, which, six days later, had not made an adjustment in price advertisement.  This was her fifth win against the Delmont branch Wal-Mart.

Bach complained that the store was violating the terms of the Unfair Trade Practices and Consumer Act of 1968, which states “a business must not engage in any conduct that misleads or deceives consumers.”  Bach’s receipts over time prove her claim that Wal-Mart has been overcharging her for some time now.

In a previous case, in 2009, the same store was sued and settled for giving her $266.  For this case, Wal-Mart has been ordered to give Bach $180.50, one hundred of which are for damages.    The Delmont store though has claimed a disagreement with this case’s ruling and may appeal.

A man from Ashland, Mass. was charged and arrested on Wednesday, Sept. 28, for plotting to send a remote-control aircraft filled with C-4 plastic explosives to the Pentagon and Capitol.

The man, Rezwan Ferdaus, who is a U.S. citizen, was also charged with trying to send resources and information to Al Queda so they could carry out attacks on U.S. soldiers in the Middle East.

Ferdaus has an initial status hearing on Wednesday and prosecutors hoped that he would be held without bail until his official trial.

According to a statement from U.S. Attorney Carmen Ortiz, the public was never in danger and that Ferdaus was closely monitored by undercover FBI agents.

At the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray, a bodyguard revealed that the doctor asked him to grab medicine and a saline bag from Michael Jackson’s bedroom before the singer’s death.

According to bodyguard Alberto Alvarez, the saline bag he was asked to put in another bag right before ambulance arrived contained a “milky white substance.”

This white milky substance is believed to be surgical anesthetic propofol, which was the main cause of Jackson’s death.

Murray, who admits to giving propofol to Jackson as a sleeping aid, could face up to four years in prison if found guilty.
