A retired Massachusetts police officer accused of rape stood before a judge in Newbury District Court on Tuesday.

Retired Rowley Police Officer Perry Collins is charged with one count of rape.

The man who once wore the badge stood handcuffed as he was arraigned in Newburyport District Court late this afternoon. Collins retired from the Rowley Police department last May. Sources tell the NBC10 Boston Investigators that the alleged rape happened while he was off duty but still working as a police officer in Rowley. He entered a not guilty plea.

"I just think this entire thing is utterly ridiculous and we look forward to our day in court," Collins' lawyer, Nicole Reilly, told the NBC10 Boston Investigators.

When asked about the serious allegations, during his time as a police officer, Reilly replied, "allegations happened from almost five years ago, so that's all, thank you."

Collins was released to probation, ordered to have no contact with the alleged victim, surrender his passport and he can't have any firearms.

Retirement records we obtained show he's collecting a $66,000-a-year pension. If he is convicted, that pension is on the line.

ANTHIME GIONET, A FAR-RIGHT INTERNET TROLL KNOWN AS BAKED ALASKA, LIVESTREAMED THE JAN. 6, 2021, CAPITAL RIOT. (SCREENSHOT VIA COURT DOCUMENTS)
Washington D.C. — Baked Alaska, a far-right internet troll who livestreamed his attendance at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, is going to jail for 60 days.
The 35-year-old, real name Anthime Gionet, pleaded guilty in August to a misdemeanor charge of parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building. And in federal court Tuesday, U.S. attorneys played clips from his livestream while his parents sat in the courtroom several rows behind him. At the time, the broadcast on D-Live netted him a total of $2,000 from viewers.
Gionet was seen trespassing into two senators’ offices and filmed himself using one of their desk phones. At one point, he suggests calling Donald Trump. “He’ll be happy, we’re fighting for him,” said Gionet. At another point, Gionet was seen swearing at Capitol police who were trying to quell the mob, calling them “traitors.” “We ain’t leaving this bitch,” he declared during his livestream.”
Franks said that Gionet was asked to leave the Capitol but soon re-entered.
Gionet has been a mainstay of far-right circles ever since Donald Trump was elected president. He trolled counterprotesters on his livestream at the “Battle of Berkeley” in early 2017. Later that year, he attended the violent white supremacist rally in Charlottesville. Since Jan. 6, Gionet has allied himself with white nationalist Nick Fuentes’ and his army of “groypers” and most recently embraced disgraced rapper Ye.
At the start of Tuesday’s sentencing, Gionet, with a bleached mullet and a dark rumbled suit, was smiling and idly scrolling through his phone.
But as U.S. attorneys made the government’s case for why Gionet should do jail-time —the government sought 75 days— the livestreamer became emotional and appeared to tear up. He wiped his eyes on his forearms, which were resting on the table.
Judge Trevor McFadden said he agreed with the government’s assessment of aggravating factors in the case, one of which was Gionet’s past criminality.
Gionet was convicted of two state misdemeanor charges from crimes committed in Arizona in Dec. 2020: assaulting a bouncer with pepper spray and tearing down a Happy Hanukkah sign from a menorah in front of the Arizona State Capitol.
“Jan. 6 was the culmination of a petty crime spree for you,” McFadden said.
Additionally, the government had highlighted Gionet’s large follower count at the time of Jan. 6—about 16,000-strong—and said that urged people to join him at the Capitol.
“You repeatedly engaged in criminality to earn followers and money online,” said McFadden. That is a disturbing vocation, sir,’ McFadden says that Gionet, being an “influencer” in particular, has a responsibility to “lead by example.” And his following also “highlights the importance of a sentence that promotes deterrence” to send a message to his supporters that “such criminality will not be tolerated.”
Gionet’s attorney Zachary Thornley, however, tried to cast his client as a “guerilla journalist.” (Gionet briefly worked at Buzzfeed prior to his radicalization to far-right politics; in one sentencing memo, his lawyers tried to blame the “open bar” party culture at the news outlet for his downfall, including once missing his mother’s birthday due to a hangover.)
“He goes to places where controversial things are happening and he records them,” said Thornley.
McFadden said that Gionet’s conduct during his livestreams make it clear that he actively participates in the events he films. In addition to 60 days in prison, Gionet received two years probation and a fine of $2,000.
After McFadden handed down his sentence, Gionet left the courtroom flanked by his parents and his lawyers. In his right hand, he clutched his trademark wraparound, mirrored sunglasses.

EVERETT, Wash., January 9, 2023–Jeremie Zeller, a now former Snohomish County Deputy, is facing charges of a Class B felony for organized retail theft after allegedly stealing approximately $1,000 in products from an Everett Home Depot – where he was working as a security guard via the Deputy Sheriff’s Association.

Zeller worked approximately 60 shifts at the Home Depot, from January 2022 to September 14, 2022, ranging from six to 10 hours per shift. In at least eight instances captured by surveillance he would remove products from the hardware store’s shelves, place them near the registers with a note indicating they should be held for him, then walk out of the store without paying. He was wearing a Snohomish County Sheriff’s uniform, using Sheriff’s Office equipment, and driving a fully marked patrol car during these incidents.

Misinterpreting a state law that rules any amount stolen over $750 becomes a felony, Zeller would never steal more than $750 worth of products at a time, court documents show. However, Det. Brad Reorda explained to MSN News that the total amount stolen could be applied to the charges since there was a clear pattern to Zeller’s shoplifting.

According to records obtained by the Lynnwood Times, Zeller allegedly engaged in more thefts at Home Depot while off-duty but the evidence was not researched. Zeller was also working security at Mariner High School at the time.
Sergeant Dewitt, with the Sheriff’s Office, came forward with information that substantiated the investigation against Zeller after an article by a local newspaper surfaced last fall. Dewitt spotted Zeller carrying a bucket of merchandise from Home Depot to his patrol car last September. Zeller told Dewitt that he often worked off-duty at Home Depot and spends a lot of money at the store. Dewitt did not think anything of it at the time but came forward with this information upon learning of Zeller’s pending investigation.

A second deputy then came forward stating Zeller gave them a brand-new pair of Home Depot brand HDX disposable gloves. Upon learning of Zeller’s investigation, he suspected the gloves may have been stolen. Gloves were among the multiple lost items Home Depot listed that Zeller allegedly stole.
Lt. Alanis, who also worked security at the Home Depot location in South Everett, also came forward with information that Zeller contacted him, December, 2021, requesting he place specific items near the register with a note saying the products should be held for Zeller, who said he would purchase them the next day. While Alanis did not comply with Zeller’s request, believing it to be unusual, it did indicate that Zeller was engaging in theft prior to being discovered and prior to working off-duty.

This request was consistent with Zeller’s strategy of allegedly stealing which involved removing products from shelves then placing them at the register to be held for “future purchase.” Without paying, he would then remove the items from the store.
Home Depot marked a total loss of $857.03 from items Zeller allegedly stole, ranging from 99 cent clamps to an $80 stud finder between August 24, 2022, and September 14, 2022.
Zeller resigned from the Sheriff’s Office in late October, 2022, and his patrol car was impounded. As of January 4, he is now facing charges for organized retail theft – a Class B Felony punishable up to 10 years and/or a fine of up to $20,000. His arraignment is scheduled for January 30, 2023.
Retail Theft Taskforce
Retailers statewide lost a combined $2.7 billion dollars’ worth of goods to organize retail theft in 2021. Federal crime statistics show that the value of items stolen from Washington retailers increased by 151 percent from 2019 to 2020.
In June of this year, Attorney General Ferguson announced the creation of a statewide Organized Retail Crime Theft Task Force to improve coordination and collaboration among law enforcement agencies to address multi-jurisdictional crimes that endanger employees and cause significant economic harm in Washington State. Nationally total shrink in 2021 alone was approximately $100 billion, according to a National Retail Security Survey.
On Thursday, October 13, the Lynnwood Police Department conducted an emphasis operation in conjunction with Lowes and Home Depot, in which officers were placed in the store with Asset Protection personnel. This was done to be able to immediately detain and charge subjects for theft and/or other charges associated with shoplifting or other crimes associated with theft.
The Lynnwood Police Department arrested all persons who were observed concealing merchandise and walking out of the store without paying for said merchandise. In total there were 7 arrests for theft related crimes, 1 arrest due intoxication, 3 were drug related (stealing merchandise to later sell and use money to purchase drugs). All subjects were also trespassed from the affected property as well.
On December 14, The Lynnwood Police Department conducted an emphasis operation with Lowes, Target, and Kohls yesterday where officers were placed in the store with Asset Protection personnel. This was done to immediately detain and charge subjects for theft and/or other charges associated with shoplifting or other crimes associated with theft.
In total 15 were arrested, seven were charged with a felony, and eight were charged with misdemeanors. Most notably Lynnwood Police arrested an Organized Retail Theft (ORT) group consisting of two adults and one juvenile that is hitting Target stores nationwide.
This group is based out of Michigan and was arrested at the Lynnwood Target after a theft of over $8,100 in merchandise. When Officers identified themselves two of the three fled on foot. All three were captured. A vehicle bearing Michigan plates was located in the Target parking lot and, in plain view was a plethora of Target merchandise. An investigator for Target Corporate contacted Lynnwood Police Department confirming this group is a nationwide ORT group responsible for over $300,000 in stolen merchandise to date.

 
Former Republican candidate “Solomon Pena” arrested in shootings targeting Democratic politicians’ homes




Albuquerque police on Monday arrested the man they say is the “mastermind” behind a recent string of shootings targeting Democratic lawmakers’ homes.
The suspect, Solomon Pena, is a Republican who unsuccessfully ran for office in November, has made repeated claims that the election was rigged and appears to have attended the Jan. 6, 2021, riot in Washington. D.C.
Around 3 p.m. APD’s SWAT team swarmed a condominium complex near the ABQ BioPark to execute a search warrant. They made announcements for Pena — who they said may be armed with a firearm — to surrender as drones flew overhead.
Within an hour officers had arrested Pena, who is accused of paying four men to shoot at the homes of two county commissioners and two state legislators, Police Chief Harold Medina announced Monday evening. Investigators also believe Pena was present for at some of the shootings.



One of the four men Pena is accused of hiring, Jose Trujillo, is being prosecuted federally on drug trafficking and firearm charges but the names of the other suspects were not immediately released.

Pena ran unsuccessfully for the House District 14 race, and claimed on social media he should have won the election. He also visited three of the targeted officials’ homes unannounced in November complaining the election was fraudulent and should not be certified.
“APD essentially discovered what we had all feared and what we had suspected — that these shootings were indeed politically motivated,” Mayor Tim Keller said at a news conference. “They were dangerous attacks not only to these individuals … but, fundamentally, also to democracy.”
Both Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, and the House Republican Leader Ryan Lane, R-Aztec, issued statements applauding law enforcement and condemning violence.
“There is no place in our society or our democracy for violence against any elected official or their families, and I trust the justice system will hold those responsible for such attacks to full and fair account,” Lujan Grisham said.
Lane said the New Mexico House Republicans are grateful no one was injured in the shootings and referenced Pena’s criminal past — which had been a controversial issue during the election.
“This is yet another example of a convicted felon unlawfully gaining access to firearms, which they are barred from owning or possessing, and using the weapon in a manner that causes public harm,” Lane said.
String of shootings
In early January APD disclosed that it was investigating several shootings targeting Democratic elected officials’ homes around the city.
They said Bernalillo County Commissioner Adriann Barboa’s Southeast Albuquerque home had been struck by eight bullets on Dec. 4 and a week later, on Dec. 11, more than 12 bullets hit County Commissioner Debbie O’Malley’s North Valley home.
On Jan. 3, shots rang out at state Rep. Linda Lopez’s home in Southwest Albuquerque and three bullets went through her daughter’s bedroom as the 10-year-old slept.
After news of the investigation began to circulate, state Rep. Javier Martinez — the current nominee for House speaker and the representative for District 11 in Southwest Albuquerque — inspected his home and noticed it too had sustained damage from bullets. He had heard gunfire outside his home on Dec. 8 and believes that’s when the shooting occurred.
Police also investigated gunshots fired near the campaign office for Raúl Torrez as he ran for state Attorney General and near the office of State Sen. Antonio “Moe” Maestas, but a department spokesman said Monday detectives don’t have any evidence linking Pena and his alleged accomplices to those shootings at this time.

A Pennsylvania woman has been arrested and charged with murder after police found the dismembered bodies of her elderly parents in their shared home.
The District Attorney for Montgomery County Kevin Steele said that police conducted a welfare check on Tuesday in Jenkintown after a family member said they had not heard from the elderly couple in over a week. That's when they found their daughter Verity Beck inside, along with one body "tightly wrapped in a white bed sheet" and evidence of a second dead person.
"There were signs of extreme trauma present," Steele said, adding that it was then that Beck, 43, was arrested.
