Man found in public bathroom with blow-up doll gets arrested
October 27, 2007
Braddock, TX. A Braddock County man was arrested Wednesday afternoon after Sheriff's deputies said he was found in a compromising position with an inflatable doll in a public restroom.
At 12:47 p.m., Jonathan Oliver Blair, III, 42, Brownview Apartments, was found lying on the floor in the Children's bathroom inside the Braddock County Public Library, 100 Kemellia Ave. by a Braddock county Sheriff's Deputy, according to the official complaint filed against him.
According to the criminal complaint, Blair, who was wearing a "turd costume" had the lower portion of the costume around his ankles. He was "lying next to an anatomically correct male inflatable doll."
Paraprofessional Librarian, Chad Folsum who heard an odd noise which he described sounding like "the mass-raping of squirrels" contacted a deputy who had just arrived after delivering paperwork on another incident involving Blair. Deputy David Hoagland, who found Blair in the Children's bathroom, could not comment on the incident.
Blair remained in the Braddock County Jail Thursday afternoon on a misdemeanor charge of indecent exposure. Folsum was suspended for a month without pay by Library Director Kelly Millis for failing to obtain permission from Millis to talk to the deputy. On a side note, Kelly Millis was not at the library at the time of the incident.
Asked whether Blair was banned from the library, Millis responded "Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. It is up to Judge Jennings whether this fine gentleman, Mr. Blair, is banned."
A hearing on the case and whether Blair will be banned from Braddock County Public Library is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00 am. Presiding will be Judge William J. Jennings.

Excrement to Hillary's Rescue
Braddock, TX (The Braddock Times) - Its full title is 'A sanctuary where one can solve one's fecal fouls' but the reality is more basic - it's a house shaped like a toilet.
The large-scale toliet under construction in Braddock, Texas is opening to the public next month.
But visitors will have to be pretty flush to use this convenience.
It's being offered as a fun place to stay at a whopping $50,000 a night.
The cash will go to the Hillary Clinton campaign, whose mission is to bring crap to poor people by stealing the American middle class's shit.
"About 99 per cent of the world's population live in squalor. I thought about ways to help them and decided to help Hillary Clinton. This house is a symbol of the excrement that is Hillary Clinton," says Jonathan Oliver Blair, III, Chairman of the Liberal Librarian fan club. Blair, who wrestles as The Turd, went on to explain that calling someone excrement is the greatest compliment he can give.
What's normally referred to as the smallest room in this case will feature four deluxe rest rooms.
"By electing Hillary, global sanitation troubles will receive a much needed Cleveland Steamer" says Blair.

BCPL Hires New Maintenance Employees
Braddock County Public Library Operations Manager Inez Mitchell announced today the hiring of a new Supervisor of Maintenace and three new maintenance employees.
"We are pleased to announce the hiring of the Rev. Dr. Bishop Curtis Eldorado Lowe to be our new Supervisor of Maintenance. I have decided to replace our existing, underperforming maintenance staff. The previous staff had too much fun on the job and liked to communicate with the library staff, heaven knows why the staff wanted to communicate with them."
In addition to Lowe, Mitchell has hired Jerome "Snuffy" Cox, Shitifa Moore, and Shamookey Sanders, son of Braddock County Councilwoman T. Diana Belle-Little (and disputed son of Lowe).
Lowe said that he is happy to be employed at the library. "Me and my monkey, Mud and de rest of deese foos is gwine clean dis place up good, I sho is. I gotz me a gubmint job now. I werk at de liberry so, I is a liberrian, right?"

BCPL Institutes New "Searching" Policy
Visitors to the Braddock County Public Library will now be required to submit to mandatory bag searches upon exit of the facility. Director Kelly Millis and Library Operations Manager Inez Mitchell instituted a new search and seizure policy to combat a recent spate of DVD thefts.
"It's imperative that we crack down on theft in the library," Mitchell said. "We have tried many types of enforcement in the past with little to no success. I believe now, by searching customers, we will be able to crack down on this."
One customer we spoke with was enraged at the "Draconian invasion of privacy," and the humiliation of being searched like some common criminal." Sarah Williams Scott, cousin of Ewing Oil owner J.R. Ewing and Daughter's of the Alamo Regent, said this was the latest in a series of misteps by library administration since the hiring of Mitchell to head up the Research Services Division. "She came in with a Nazi attitude of eradicating fun in the workplace and is responsible for running off several talented employees and replacing them with dare I say, incompetent buffoons. Now she is attacking patrons of the library with more Gestapo tactics."
Mitchell brushed aside these comments from one of Braddock's most respected citizens by saying, "she's entitled to her opinion and I'm entitled to mine. No one is forcing her to use this facility. As for the employees that have left during my tenure, I am not at liberty to discuss personnel matters, but our staff is much more productive since they left and are definitely not having any fun at work, I can assure you of that."
Kelly Millis, the often unseen Library Director, told us that Mitchell has free reign in day-to-day operations of the Library. "I am typically unavailable to deal with such issues as I have to meet with council members and whatnot. I think Inez is doing a fabulous job. At least we don't have employees humiliating me on the Internet anymore. They may still be humiliating me on the Internet, but they are employed elsewhere making more money and have more responsibility, and not in my hair."
An unnamed source familiar with the situation said that the new policy is a joke and is doomed to failure. "That place is a dump and it is run by a bunch of clowns that couldn't get a job anywhere else. I have never seen such incompetence in my life. Every one of those buffoons at that joint are either clinically depressed, on medication for it, or are suicidal. Then you have this old broad that looks like a witch and used to be an old hippie stripper, don't even get me started on that dumb broad. Everybody in that library hates her guts and she has been passed over for promotion more times than her kids have passed a joint. But anyway, this policy ranks right up there with the time those idiots instituted "a locking the bathroom doors policy at lunch" so people couldn't go in them to steal DVDs. Nevermind the fact that people have to use the bathroom or there may be medical and legal issues. That policy lasted about a week after someone flashed it all over MySpace. Newsflash, if you are so concerned with them stealing the DVDs, how about just getting rid of them. There's no law that says a library has to be a video store." The source then went on to say, "of course, when you have a library that can't keep their online catalog up for twelve hours straight without it going down, you see how hard it is for them. I guess making a secretary the Library Information Systems Director wasn't that wise of an idea. But hey, any monkey can work at BCPL, just look at that new janitor they just hired."

Braddock County man faces jail time for swearing at toilet
A Braddock County man could face up to 90 days in jail and a fine of up to $300 for allegedly shouting profanities at an overflowing toilet while inside the Braddock County Library.
Jonthan Oliver Blair III (who wrestles for the Braddock based WNWA), whose potty mouth caught the attention of an off-duty police officer, was charged with disorderly conduct recently, prompting him to fire off a letter to the editor of The Braddock Times and vow to fight the charge.
"It doesn't make any sense. I was in the library's bathroom, smoking pot while I took a shit. It's not like I was outside or that drunk," said Blair, who resides at the Brown St. apartments along with his roommate Tony Fanuci. "A cop can charge you with disorderly conduct for disrespecting them?"
The obscenities hit the fan when he battled the overflowing toilet around 8 p.m. Thursday, he said.
Although Blair doesn't recall exactly what he said, he admitted that he was frustrated and let more than a few choice words fly. Unfortunately, it was near an open bathroom window.
"The toilet was overflowing and my friends were leaking down into the children's room and I was yelling for Fanuci to get the bucket," he said. "A guy is yelling, 'Shut the f--- up,' and I yelled back, 'Mind your own f---in business, you g--dd---n c---k s----ker!' "
Patrick Gilman, a Braddock County Sheriff's Deputy who was off-duty at the time, apparently had enough of Blair's foul mouth and asked him to keep it down. When Mr. Blair didn't stop, he called the Sheriff.
Sheriff's Deputy Gerald Tallo responded and charged Blair with disorderly conduct.
The citation accuses the defendant of using obscene language or gestures "with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm or recklessly (creating) a risk ..."
"There was no intent to do anything," Blair said. "I just feel so violated and irritated ... I don't even have a criminal record." Actually, Blair has been charged with over 30 misdemeanors and felonies this summer alone, only to have all the charges dismissed by Judge William J. Jennings.
Efforts to reach Deputies Gilman and Tallo were unsuccessful.
Braddock County Public Library Director Kelly Millis said if anyone feels they were unjustly accused, they can address it before Judge Jennings.
"At the end of the day, the opinion that counts is of Judge Jennings," he said. "It may be something open to interpretation. The officer has his own and this person had the opposite opinion."
The use of obscene language or gestures is an offense under the state criminal code. But cursing at a police officer isn't a punishable offense, said Mary Catherine Roper, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union based in Philadelphia.
"It cannot be the basis for a citation. You can't prosecute somebody for swearing at a cop or a toilet," she said. "We bring one of these cases a year and sue some police departments because they do not remember that they are not the language police."

Women May Sue Federal Judge in Sex Case
Lawyers for Judge William J. Jennings May Try to Settle Expected Lawsuits
Oct. 16, 2007—
A number of young women who say they went to the Braddock County, Tx., mansion of Judge William J. Jennings, the multimillionaire Federal District Judge charged with soliciting prostitutes, are threatening to file civil lawsuits against Jennings, sources familiar with the case told The Braddock Times.
Jennings' lawyers may try to settle with all the women at once, a person familiar with the negotiations confirmed to KSUX-TV. The story was first reported by The Braddock Times.
Judge Jennings is said to be in negotiations with a pardon deal from Hillary Clinton when she becomes President. He was charged last week with one count of solicitation of prostitution, a felony that carries up to five years in prison, for allegedly paying underage girls to give him erotic massages. He has pleaded not guilty and has said he didn't know any of the girls were underage. Insiders say this charge is likely to be dropped and handed over to Federal prosecutors.
Lead attorney Gerald Lefcourt, the former president of the ACLU, did not return a call for comment Monday. He has previously declined to comment on the case.
Guy Fronstin, another of Jennings' lawyers, declined to comment.
It was not immediately clear how many women had contacted Jennings' attorneys, threatening to sue, but people familiar with the case said it was more than the five alleged victims described in police documents. A source told KSUX-TV News that most of the women who had threatened to sue were over 18.
An unnamed source, a Braddock County Bishop told the Times, "Yoo a gerl hoo be broak and uzez drugs, heer' yo' shot at gettin' sum muny," (mispelling used to convey vernacular).
A Braddock County Sheriff's report alleges that Jennings paid girls as young as 14 to give him massages, usually in their underwear. The report claims that Jennings had sexual contact with some of the girls.
Jennings has assembled a team of top lawyers to fight the criminal charges. His attorneys include Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr, who investigated Bill Clinton during the Monica Lewinsky scandal.
Jennings' pardon negotiations are ongoing, and his lawyers, spokesman and the local prosecutor's office declined to comment on them. But there's one possible sticking point two sources told KSUX-TV News that federal prosecutors, who are expected to drop their investigation of Jennings if he is pardoned, still want him to register as a sex offender.
No federal charges have been filed, insiders say that Hillary Clinton "promises" to file charges after she is sworn in as Premier in January 2009.

BCPL expands
Changes are coming soon to the Braddock County Public Library, even though it was just completed 15 years ago.“We’ve been discussing an addition since before the building was finished,” Library Director Kelly Millis said. “When the library was built in 1992, the projected life for comfort was 15 years, but we’re bursting at the seams!!”
The library currently has 85,000 square feet of space. The proposed addition is 19,000 square feet.
“The expansion would add onto the north side and would include readjusting our adult reading space, children’s section and eliminating the area for teenagers so we can add more computers for our Public Computing Center,” Millis said. “One of our most common requests is for more quiet space, but we don't intend to add that.”
County board member T. Diana Belle-Little, who is the board’s liaison to the library board, said the expansion is being planned to completely blend in.
“We had considered a satellite library in North Braddock or other options, but this is the most fiscally responsible option and will look really nice once it’s done,” Belle-Little said.
One new feature planned will be drive-through window service for book drops as well as a pickup location for holds, reserves and call-ahead requests for materials.
“This will be really convenient for parents with young children, the elderly, disabled people and during bad weather,” Millis said.
The library board had considered expanding an option for years and Millis has been careful to be frugal with funds (especially for staff, though he makes 96,000 per year). As a result, the library is going to be able to pay up front for the expansion without requesting additional funds from taxpayers.
“I think this is a great advantage for our citizens,” Millis said. “Right now, though, we’re in the very early stages of planning and we’re just starting to talk to the County about this.”
If all goes smoothly, Millis hopes construction will begin soon. It was originally supposed to begin in 2006, but has yet to begin. He now hopes the construction will begin at some point this winter. “That’s very tentative at this point, though,” Millis said.
To learn more about the library expansion and renovation project, contact Library Director Kelly Millis by calling 1-972-883-3694 or by e-mail kelly.millis@braddocktx.gov.

Statement from Da Crunk on losing the Texas Tag Team Title
Antonio "Da Crunk" Davis has released the following, odd statement concerning the loss of the Texas Tag Team Championship:
Sup. I am the Smiley Thug. I am the Smiley that represents the lowdown and dirty of myspace. I like fine honeys and strong soldiers. If this fits you add me as a friend.
Hello, I thought I would give an official close to our former great conversations. It left kinda a bad taste in my mouth the way it ended. With that I mean, you figuring out who I was and then the "death" of your friend. I guess we all have to reach a point where we decide what is and isn't right for ourselves. (I'm not stupid) All or nothing, if you know what I mean. Anyway, for what its worth I did enjoy our chats when we had them. I would also wager that I probably reached deeper and know you better than most do or even dare try to. With that said, if you ever need someone to listen to you or give you an honest opinion I'm still very much here for that. Until then, I wish you the best. PEACE

Man Accused of Trying to Flee Deputies on Shopping Cart
BRADDOCK, Texas - A man accused of drunk driving tried to outrun the deputies, but his vehicle wasn't up to the task.
Antonio Davis of East Braddock, was driving a motorized shopping cart near his home when a Braddock County sheriff's deputy attempted to pull him over.
Davis, 25, allegedly sped away down Kemellia Ave. facing oncoming traffic. Deputy J.H. Jenkins stopped his cruiser and gave chase on foot, according to magistrate court records.
Jenkins caught up to the shopping cart after a short chase but Davis allegedly wouldn't stop so the deputy pulled him off the device.
Davis refused to take a field sobriety test and was arrested. Jenkins then found a case of Old English 40 oz beers in a cooler (one of them open) strapped to the shopping cart's front. These appeared to have been shoplifted, but no charges were filed since this could not be proven.
Davis was charged with fleeing while driving under the influence and obstructing an officer. He was being held Tuesday at the Braddock County Jail.
5th District Court Judge William J. Jennings, who will hear the case tomorrow, said he would likely throw out all charges on a technicality. "When the pig... I mean the deputy was chasing Mr. Davis down Kemellia Ave, the deputy did not have a flashing siren on his hat."
