Home Invasion robbery can strike anyone including American Idol star Scotty McCreery. There was a knock on the apartment door at 2:00 am. The door was opened and three heavily-armed robbers barged in. Robbers took wallets, phones, and electronics totaling $1,600. America’s Morning Show host Blair Garner called about the May 2014 home invasion robbery of country singer Scotty McCreery. Home Invasion Robbery Country music star Scotty McCreery won the 10th season of American Idol in 2011. At the time of this incident, McCreery was a 20-years old and a student at Raleigh's North Carolina State University. According to police, McCreery said he and his friends bought hamburgers and returned to the apartment to eat and watch the movie, Gladiator. Just as the movie was getting good there was a knock on the apartment door at about 2:00 am. One of the guys who lived in the apartment figured it was just a neighbor. He looked through the peephole in the door. He only saw one guy standing outside the door who wasn't wearing a mask or gloves, so in his mind, he didn't look suspicious. A home robbery can strike anyone including American Idol star Scotty McCreeryTweet This Unbeknownst to them, there were three other men hiding out of view of the peephole. When McCreery's friend opened the door they barged in with their guns waving. The first guy in the room had an assault rifle, and he put the muzzle right against the sternum of the guy who opened the door. The home invasion robber who seemed to be in charge put a pistol to McCreery’s head and another robber pointed a pistol at another guy's head. "It definitely puts your life in perspective when you're staring down the barrel of a pistol", McCreery said. The home invasion robbers took wallets, cash, phones, and electronics totaling $1,600. The home invasion robbers made the five students lay face-down on the floor and count to 100 before getting up. Fortunately, No one was hurt. McCreery Home Invasion Follow-up Only one 19-year-old home invasion robbery suspect Mikkail Jamal Shaw turned himself in and was arrested. Do you think McCreery was recognized by the robbers at the restaurant and then followed back to the apartment? Witnesses reported that the home invasion robbers ran up the stairs directly to that apartment so it seems likely that it was a targeted home invasion robbery. Sometimes home invasion robbers select the victim for who they are, what they're wearing, or what car they're driving rather than the location where they live. Lessons about Home Invasion Robbery A group of young male students can feel invincible and not worry about home security A young celebrity, like McCreery, must be concerned about being recognized McCreery must know who is on the other side of a locked door before opening it It’s 2:00 am. You must consider the time of day as a safety factor With guns pointed at your head it's not the time to be heroic, but keep thinking about options for defense I think colleges should provide personal security awareness orientation for all new students I think colleges should offer basic self-defense classes in the curriculum Things mentioned in this episode America's Morning Show with Blair Garner Home Invasion article by Chris McGoey Learn More about Premises Liability Litigation Download the 115-page eBook written by Security Expert Chris E.

Crime School - Los Angeles Violent Crime Surge
play

07/20/15 • 26 min

Los Angeles violent crime surged by 67% downtown for the first six months of 2015 according to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports. Is the increase in violent crime caused by gang activity? Was it caused by the jail inmate's early-release program? Is it related to the growing Skid Row Homeless Population? Did Proposition 47 felony crime reclassification cause the spike? Mayor Eric Garcetti and Chief Charlie Beck's press conference Podcast Time Stamps: [00:45] - Press conference with Chief Beck and Mayor Garcetti. [01:48] - Interview with KABC talk-radio show host Peter Tilden. [02:30] - Why is Los Angeles violent crime increasing downtown? [03:55] - Los Angeles violent crime is up 67% downtown. [04:50] - More cops are not the answer to lowering crime statistics. [08:52] - My comments about the interview subject matter. [09:02] - What's causing the spike in Los Angeles violent crime? [10:50] - Three-strikes law in California. [12:35] - Perfect Crime Storm. [13:00] - Early release of jail and prison inmates. [14:45] - Skid Row in Los Angeles. [15:20] - Proposition 47 and its contribution to the crime rate increase. [16:25] - LAPD modifies arrest and jail booking policy. [18:00] - Los Angeles Violent Crime analysis - Mystery in the numbers. [18:30] - FBI Uniform Crime Reports. [20:50] - LA Times investigated LAPD crime under-reporting. [23:15] - Predictions about crime trends in Los Angeles violent crime. What caused the rise in Los Angeles violent crime downtown? Was it caused by: A downtown gang turf battle. A surge in drug activity. A major new entertainment or sports venue opening. Rising homelessness and violence on Skid Row. Discharge of jail inmates due to overcrowding. Proposition 47 downgrading felonies to misdemeanors. Change in offender arrest and jail booking policy. Changes in LAPD policy on crime classifications. Increased part-1 UCR crime reporting to the FBI. Violent crime was under-reported in 2104. Violent crime data correction in 2015. A combination of several of these factors. California was Tough on Crime The three-strikes law in California was legislation that mandated the courts to impose harsher jail and prison sentences on habitual offenders. The sentencing threshold was having at least two-prior serious criminal convictions and has now committed a third. In California, even a misdemeanor drug crime conviction could be that third-strike triggering harsher jail or prison sentence. The idea was to be tough on crime by keeping those more likely to commit a serious crime off the streets and separate habitual offenders from society using the baseball analogy of three strikes and you’re out. The Three-Strikes Law was credited by many for the decade of crime rate reduction in California.Tweet This The Perfect Crime Storm However, this crime reduction benefit came at a high price. The Los Angeles County jail quickly became overcrowded with those awaiting trial and sentencing. The inmate congestion and deplorable housing conditions in the county jail were condemned by everyone. Early Release from Jail Beginning in 2013-2014 the City and County of Los Angeles began to early-release “low-risk” jail inmates at a significant rate. Relevant to this discussion is that the largest jail complex in the United States, the Twin Towers, and Men’s Central Jail correctional facility, is located in downtown Los Angeles in the LAPD Central Division. According to a statewide audit, by June 2014 California jails were releasing 14,000 inmates per month after serving 20% or less of their sentence while also reducing the state prison population by over 25,000. With all this happening in a relatively short time span, it was no surprise to hear about the rise in crime announcements by city officials. Los Angeles Skid Row Many inmates that are suddenly released don’t have any place to go....
