Man is fighting $24,000 dollar phone bill, after he lost his phone


A Shuswap, B.C., man is fighting a $24,000 bill after losing his cellphone while on vacation in Peru.
Alex Dobson, 18, told CBC News he didn't mean to bring his phone on an extended backpacking trip through South America with some friends last fall.
"When I went through airport security, I realized my cell phone was still in my pocket," Dobson said on Thursday. "And I thought, well, that's dumb, because I'm never going to use my cell phone, and I just threw it in the bottom of my backpack."
Then halfway through the trip, his backpack was stolen while on a bus in Peru.
"They pulled a fast one on me," he admits, but he didn't think about the phone until he arrived back home in the B.C. Interior in December.
"That's when we saw they had just been adding in these three-month-old charges, and so at that point it was a $13,000 bill," said Dobson. Apparently someone in Peru had been using the phone at $3.49 a minute, and Dobson was getting the bill. more

Man arrested on a misdemeanor false report, claim he was robbed at gun point


PALM CITY — A Palm City man was accused of fabricating an armed robbery last week to try to make his girlfriend feel bad for leaving him. He was arrested after deputies unraveled the ruse, according to recently released reports.
Derick A. Culberson, 22, initially told officials late Friday night that two men robbed him at gunpoint, the reports stated. He said the men took his vehicle GPS device and bound his hands and ankles before leaving in an older black Chevrolet Impala.
Investigators found Culberson, of the 1600 block of Southwest Sunset Trail, sitting next to his truck near Leighton Park, his ankles and wrists bound with plastic “zip ties.”
At least a dozen Martin County Sheriff’s deputies searched the area to find the supposed suspect vehicle. Culberson said the robbers wore black shirts, and one had dreadlocks and the other an afro. He described the weapon as a 9 mm or .40-caliber silver pistol, the reports stated.
Investigators, however, said they found inconsistencies in Culberson’s version of events and turned up zip ties in Culberson’s vehicle of the same type that bound his hands and feet.
Culberson eventually acknowledged making up the entire incident “in an attempt to make his girlfriend feel bad for leaving him,” reports states.
“Culberson admitted to tying his own hands and feet, and further inventing the suspects’ vehicle and weapon descriptions he gave to Sheriff’s Office dispatch and deputies,” reports state. more

Meter repairman arrested for stealing $170,000

Alexandria police say William J. Fell stole $170,000, in quarters and nickels and dimes. From his job as a parking meter repairman over about a year.
A supervisor became suspicious of Fell and began following him during his morning rounds, watching him steal the coins.
Alexandria officials called police, who hid a surveillance camera in his city truck. When police searched his Stafford County home last week. They hit the jackpot. They found much of the cash there -- in a bucket, in rolls and in a cup, court documents said.
Sgt. Shahram Fard said "It's pretty bold," , who oversees the city's property crimes unit, said yesterday. "I've never recovered that much money in a search warrant."
The 61-year-old city employee did it, police say, by going to work at 3 a.m., well before his shift started. He would jump in his city truck and, under the cover of darkness, empty into bags the contents of coin canisters from parking meters all over Old Town, according to court documents.
Then he would drive back to his personal car, stash the bags in his trunk and go about his normal workday fixing meters, a search warrant affidavit said.
By the time police caught up with him, his house looked a bit like a Las Vegas casino, documents show. There were coins in cups, coins in canisters, coins in a silver box. Police said they found paper money in a safe and in zip-lock bags. They also found the top of a parking meter in the house.
Fell, who worked for the city for 16 years before his promotion in June in the Department of Transportation and Environmental Services, faces two counts of embezzlement by a public officer and is being held at the city jail. He told an Alexandria judge that he needed a public defender because he did not have enough money to hire a lawyer. more
