Law and Order SVU actor charged with Child Porn: Let the irony commentary begin

From wnbc.com:

WAYNE, N.J. -- An actor who once played a lieutenant on NBC's "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit" has been charged with possession of child pornography, authorities said Tuesday.

Albert Insinnia, 57, of Bloomfield, turned himself into the Passaic County Sheriff's Department in Wayne on Monday and was released on bail Tuesday morning, said sheriff's spokesman Bill Maer.

Insinnia was charged with two counts of possession of child pornography after authorities allegedly discovered 180 images of child porn on the hard drive of the actor's laptop computer.

Reached at his home Tuesday afternoon, Insinnia told The Associated Press he had no comment, but his lawyer, Joseph Portelli, said he planned to plead not guilty at an arraignment Tuesday afternoon.

"Any images that may have been on that computer are not his," Portelli said, adding that there are no allegations that his client purchased or sold any of the images.

Ok, so he was only in two episodes, but it still makes good press. And it's really great this guy is paying his lawyer so much to say that the images are not his. My work is done! DONK DONK!!

Snapping Turtle proves too much for Fishermen

From Indeonline

Police responded to a call that a firearm had been discharged shortly after 11 p.m. Friday on the Tuscarawas riverbank near the intersection of Earl Road and Lake Avenue.

“From what I understand, two guys where out fishing on Friday night ... just on the western side of the river,” DiLoreto said. “But instead of catching a fish, they caught a snapping turtle.

“So these two knuckleheads have this turtle hooked and I think they were planning to eat it,” DiLoreto continued. “Apparently he was taking a shot at the turtle and his foot got in the way. He shot himself in the foot.”

The discharged weapon was a 9mm handgun.

“I don’t know how bad his foot is, but I do know they took him to a hospital by private vehicle right away. ... At that close range and the bullet moving that fast, it had to have hurt like heck.”

DiLoreto said he is not sure if the turtle lived or not. “I can’t say with a 100 percent certainty – but I think the turtle got away,” he said.

The case is listed as a possible fourth-degree misdemeanor, which could mean up to 30 days in jail and a $250 fine.

So is this then a tale of the Tortoise and the Hair (Trigger)? One thing is for sure--these guys need to have a shell put on themselves so that they don't hurt themselves any more than they already have. I sincerely doubt the guys will get a fourth-degree misdemeanor, the jury won't be able to stop laughing to pose such a sentence, ya think?

I guess this gives new meaning to the name "Hamburglar". When reached for comment, the perpetrator was quoted as saying "robble robble robble".

Tampa man arrested for buthering alligator---on front lawn

(CBS4) TAMPA A Tampa man arrested for butchering an alligator on his front lawn said he only wanted a new belt.

35-year old Benjamin Hodges told police he found the 4 to 5 foot long dead alligator floating in the Hillsborough River on Sunday and took it home in a shopping cart. He had just started to skin it when the police showed up and arrested him.

Hodges was charged with killing or possessing an alligator, both of which are illegal in Florida. It's a felony punishable by up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. He has been released on $2 thousand bond.

The American alligator is protected in Florida as a species of special concern, and hunting is tightly controlled. Only state-licensed trappers can kill alligators out of season.
