Christopher Mark Topham, wearing his Utah Highway Patrol jacket, badge and gun, pulled over speeding motorists on Interstate 70 in Sevier County. He reportedly asked each motorist to hand over wallet and registration so that he could collect the “fine” on the spot. There was only one problem — Topham retired from the highway patrol in 2003.

TEXARKANA, Texas

School officials in Texarkana say a kindergarten boy running near a K-9 police dog during an assembly was chased by the German shepherd and bitten — twice.

The 5-year-old returned to class today.

Superintendent James Henry Russell says the dog yesterday punctured the boy’s arm and gashed his thigh.

Russell says some students began running around as school district police held a demonstration on how the dog can find objects.

Russell says the kids became excited — and the dog noticed the noise.

Russell says the district is now investigating whether it will continue using the dog, which was being controlled by a fairly new handler.

The dog has been with the school district about three years.

About 65 students were attending the demonstration.

Wife: Cop was abusive

Brad Dicken | The Chronicle-Telegram

ELYRIA — On May 16, 1984, Laura Earl said “I do” when she married Lorain police officer Corey Earl.

Wednesday she said “I do” again, this time when her attorney asked her if she thought her estranged husband — currently in the county jail for violating a temporary protection order — would cause her harm.

“I’ve been married to Corey for 23 years. He’s aggressive, controlling, extremely jealous. He has rage. He has been abusive,” Laura Earl told county Domestic Relations Magistrate Rene Zafarana during a hearing on whether the protection order barring Corey Earl from coming near her — and prevents him from carrying a gun — should be kept in place. “Corey has said many, many times to me that nobody will ever have me except him.”

Zafarana is expected to decide in a few weeks whether the protection order should remain in effect.

Corey Earl has been on paid medical leave from his job with Lorain police since Aug. 20, when he reportedly went to the Amherst home he once shared with his wife in the early morning with a handgun in his waistband. Laura Earl told police that she awoke to find him standing in the doorway.

He then reportedly went into the bathroom and said he was going to kill himself, a threat she said Wednesday that she’d heard before during their marriage and something she’d always talked him out of doing.

Laura Earl said she thought her husband — who filed for divorce from her in March — was going to kill her and then kill himself. She said she spent about 30 minutes convincing him to give her his gun.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen his eyes like that, wild,” she said.

The Aug. 20 incident was the third time Laura Earl called Amherst police on her husband.

On July 6, she complained that he had thrown items and threatened to hit her. A few days later, she said Wednesday, Corey Earl ransacked her home, dumping out her possessions, taking his television and snapping a crucifix on her wall in half.

She also told the magistrate that Corey Earl threatened to “smash her face” and kill her.

Laura also contacted Amherst police on Aug. 13 about text messages that Corey Earl had sent her.

Corey Earl was arrested Saturday for allegedly violating the temporary protection order that barred him from carrying a gun and from coming within 500 feet of his wife. Amherst police have not released details of that incident, but they have said it didn’t involve a gun.

He was ordered to undergo a third mental health examination Wednesday before he can be released from the county jail. If he passes the examination, he will be released, but he will have to wear an electronic ankle bracelet to monitor his movements.

Corey Earl wasn’t at the hearing, but his attorney, Jonathan Rosenbaum, attacked Laura Earl’s credibility, saying she was lying to get their home in the divorce and to ruin her husband’s career.

His client, he said, had done nothing wrong.

“His only mistake is he still wants to be married to her,” Rosenbaum said. “Why, I’ll never understand.”

He also questioned why Laura Earl never told Amherst police nor Lorain Police Chief Cel Rivera about the threats she said Corey Earl made to kill her or an incident earlier in the year when he allegedly threw her to the ground when he found her drinking in a bar while taking an antidepressant.

There was no evidence that Corey Earl had tried to harm her or even threatened her, Rosenbaum said.

“The fact that she chooses to say she’s afraid is not legally sufficient (to justify the protection order),” Rosenbaum said.

Laura Earl said she kept quiet about a lot of what Corey Earl had said and done to protect him.

“I was afraid that Corey would lose his career,” she said. “I was going on promises made to me.”

Both Rivera and Amherst Police Chief Lonnie Dillon had told her they would make sure that Corey Earl would get help and stay away from her. They also told her, she said, to change the locks on her house.

But Dillon later testified that he never told her to change the locks. Another Amherst officer said Laura Earl told him she first learned about protection orders from him, even though she had already said she was aware of them. That same officer denied telling her that she should give her estranged husband a key to the new locks, as Laura Earl said he did.

BLUE ASH, Ohio

One man is dead and two officers are injured after an overnight chase and shooting.

Police said an officer tried to pull over a car on Cornell Road near Sycamore High School for driving without lights just before 12:30 a.m.

The officer told dispatchers that he thought the Monte Carlo might be one stolen from Clermont County last week.

Officers said the driver of the car, Charles Wayne Bennett, tried to run over the officer, then raced away, turning onto Reed Hartman Highway.

As officers pursued the car at speeds up to 100 mph, they said Bennett rammed his car into a police cruiser, then hit a tree.

But when officers approached on foot near Cooper Road, police said, Bennett drove the car at them again and continued down Reed Hartman as police fired on the car.

“The vehicle was being used as a weapon,” said police Capt. James Schaffer.

After another collision, the car stopped again, and an officer attempted to arrest Bennett. When Bennett tried to hit the officer with the car, the officer ended up on the car’s hood and fired twice, hitting Bennett at least once.

Bennett, 37, was taken to Bethesda North Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Blue Ash police said two officers suffered injuries in the chase.

One officer was treated and released, while the other is still undergoing treatment.

A passenger in Bennett’s car was hit by flying glass, but was not seriously hurt.

Neighbor Daryl Black, 28, said he’d gotten a ride to Walgreen’s with Bennett, who he said “went crazy” when police turned on their lights.

“I’m screaming at him, ‘Get me out of this car — you’re going to cost me my life,’” Black said.

The man said he tried to wrest the steering wheel from Bennett, who Black said punched him in the face during the struggle.

Police said three officers fired on Bennett, who officers said had a criminal history of drug trafficking.

“It was a shame that Wayne had to lose his life over something so stupid,” Black said.

One officer was treated and released at the hospital, and a second was treated at the scene, police said. Two police cruisers were heavily damaged, police said.

The three officers who fired shots were put on paid administrative leave, under department policy. Schaffer didn’t release their names, but said they are veteran officers.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A university student with a history of taping his own practical jokes was Tasered by campus police and arrested after loudly and repeatedly trying to ask U.S. Sen. John Kerry questions during a campus forum.

Andrew Meyer, 21, spent a night in jail before his release from jail Tuesday morning on his own recognizance. He had no comment when he left. His attorney, Robert Griscti, did not return messages seeking comment.

Videos of the Monday night incident, posted on several Web sites and played repeatedly on television news, show University of Florida police officers pulling Meyer away from the microphone after he asks Kerry about impeaching President Bush and whether he and Bush were both members of the secret society Skull and Bones at Yale University.

University spokesman Steve Orlando said Meyer was asked to leave the microphone after his allotted time was up. Meyer can be seen refusing to walk away and getting upset that the microphone was cut off.

As two officers take Meyer by the arms, Kerry, D-Mass., can be heard saying, “That’s all right, let me answer his question.”

Audience members applaud, and Meyer struggles for several seconds as up to four officers try to remove him from the room. Meyer screams for help and tries to break away from officers with his arms flailing at them, then is forced to the ground and officers order him to stop resisting.

As Kerry tells the audience he will answer the student’s “very important question,” Meyer yells at the officers to release him, crying out, “Don’t Tase me, bro,” just before he is shocked by the Taser. He is then led from the room, screaming, “What did I do?”

Meyer was arrested on charges of resisting an officer and disturbing the peace, according to Alachua County jail records, but the State Attorney’s Office had yet to make the formal charging decision. Police recommended charges of resisting arrest with violence, a felony, and disturbing the peace and interfering with school administrative functions, a misdemeanor.

University President J. Bernard Machen issued a statement Tuesday saying he requested the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate the arrest. Officials said it would determine whether the officers used an appropriate level of force.

Machen called the situation “regretful” in an afternoon news conference and said two officers involved in the incident were placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the probe.

“We’re absolutely committed to having a safe environment for our faculty and our students so that a free exchange of ideas can occur,” Machen said.

Kerry said Tuesday he regretted that a healthy discussion was interrupted and that he never had a dialogue end that way in 37 years of public appearances. He also said he hoped neither the student nor police were injured.

“Whatever happened, the police had a reason, had made their decision that there was something they needed to do. Then it’s a law enforcement issue, not mine,” he told The Associated Press in Washington.

Two Ridge Meadows RCMP officers have been docked 10 days’ pay after they got very drunk and then rode around Maple Ridge assaulting innocent people — falsely identifying themselves as “PoCo Police” while they did so.

An RCMP disciplinary board recently found constables Pat Hughson and Steve Frazer both guilty of “disgraceful” conduct as a result of their “intentional, serial abuse of innocent passersby, without reason.”

According to the board’s written decision, both Hughson and Frazer were “highly intoxicated” when they left a bar in Maple Ridge on May 10, 2006, in a truck driven by one of their friends.

As they drove downtown around 3 a.m., the two off-duty officers spotted a man, Colin Frederick, walking down the street — who, for some reason, they wrongly believed had a warrant out for his arrest.

“Hughson and Frazer stepped out of the pickup truck and started fighting with Mr. Frederick,” the decision states. “Const. Hughson punched Mr. Frederick in the face once causing him to fall on the ground. When Frederick got up … Hughson and Frazer grabbed him and threw him up against a sliding glass door.”

During the incident, Hughson identified himself as being with the “PoCo [Port Coquitlam] Police.”

The assault drew the attention of a security guard, identified in the decision as R. Bourassa, who came by to investigate.

As the guard approached, Frazer flashed his police badge and said he and Hughson were with the “PoCo Police.”

“Mr. Bourassa believed the badge to be a fake one and asked Const. Frazer if he could see his badge again,” the disciplinary board said. “Const. Frazer then flashed his police badge for a second time and shoved Mr. Bourassa backwards. Const. Frazer further added, ‘Do you want to get into it with me?’ ”

That same evening, in a separate incident, Hughson and Frazer accosted another man, identified in the decision as D. Cirtwell, who was riding his bicycle without a helmet.

The two officers asked Cirtwell if he was under any release conditions, such as probation.

Hughson — who falsely identified himself as an undercover police officer — then pushed Cirtwell to the ground and Frazer picked up the man’s bicycle and threw it to the ground.

After receiving a call about the first assault, a police officer on duty stopped Hughson and Frazer’s truck and ordered them to immediately attend the Ridge Meadows detachment — which they failed to do.

Both men were eventually charged — Hughson with one count of assault and Frazer with two counts of assault.

In March, Hughson pleaded guilty in Port Coquitlam Provincial Court and received an eight-month conditional discharge — meaning he will not have a criminal record as long as he attends alcohol counselling and performs 25 hours of community service.

Frazer’s case was diverted into an alternative measures program meaning he, too, will avoid a criminal record.

The two officers appeared before the RCMP disciplinary board, made up of three senior Mounties, in June.

The board’s decision was released in response to a request from The Vancouver Sun.

While finding the two officers’ conduct disgraceful, the board also noted both had “excellent” work histories and had abstained from alcohol since the incident.

Hughson, who is now working in the RCMP’s proceeds-of-crimes section, refused to comment on the case when reached by phone on Tuesday.

Frazer, who still works in Ridge Meadows, could not be reached Tuesday.

CUTLER BAY, Florida

A gunman killed a police officer and injured three others during a traffic stop Thursday, triggering a manhunt in a suburban Miami neighborhood, officials said.

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez confirmed that one of the officers died. All four had been brought to hospitals, but authorities refused to release further information on them because they were trying to notify their families.

The officers were conducting burglary surveillance when they stopped the man because he was driving a car erratically, said Linda O’Brien, a police spokeswoman. The man opened fire with a high-powered weapon and fled. It was not immediately clear if the officers returned fire.

TV footage showed several officers briefly surrounding a house, guns drawn, before moving on. Others swept through a grassy area on foot and picked through a garbage truck.

Authorities were looking for 30-year-old Kevin Wehner, last seen driving a white Honda Accord, O’Brien said. There was a chance another man also was involved.

Investigators believed they had recovered a vehicle and a gun used in the shooting, O’Brien said.

No other details were immediately available.

Cutler Bay is a suburb southwest of downtown Miami. Several schools were locked down due to the search.

Two other officers were shot separately last month in neighboring Broward County. One was killed, the other badly injured.

SAN ANTONIO

A Northside Independent School District police officer shot himself and then lied to San Antonio police about how he suffered the gunshot wounds, police officials said.

According to a San Antonio Police Department news release, NISD Police Officer Patrick Ritchey reported that he was on routine patrol at Lackland City Elementary at 10:45 p.m. Tuesday when he found some fresh graffiti on the wall of the school building.

Ritchey reported that he confronted two people, who attacked the officer and fought over his weapon, police said.

The officer told police that he was shot twice through his bullet-proof vest and the two people got away on foot, police said.

An investigation by the SAPD’s Shooting Team revealed that the gunshots were self-inflicted, police said.

Ritchey was transported to Wilford Hall Hospital, where he was listed in good condition.

The officer was apparently have marital problems, police said.

Charges against Ritchey will be determined after the case is forwarded to the Bexar County District Attorney’s Office for consideration.
