A doctor whose father is the premier of Bermuda, already charged with molesting a female patient and an undercover LAPD officer, has been arrested for allegedly groping six other female patients, including a minor.

Dr. Kevin Brown, 37, the eldest son of Bermuda premier Ewart Brown, is being held in lieu of $4-million bail after his arrest at his Los Angeles residence this morning by LAPD detectives.

Brown, who practices medicine at the Crenshaw Expo Medical Center, was arrested after several other women came forward with new allegations that he molested them, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Ann Marie Wise with the sex crimes division. Read more »

A locksmith was robbed at gunpoint Sunday after he unlocked a man’s car behind a Subway restaurant in central Mesa, according to a police report.

The victim told police he got a call to help a man get into his locked car at around 3:30 in the afternoon.

When he met the man near 8th Avenue and Dobson Road they drove to the locked car.

After the locksmith opened the vehicle, the suspect pulled out a handgun and demanded the victim’s money.

He gave the robber the money in his wallet and the suspect left the area in a dark blue 1998 Ford Mustang.

The suspect was described as a Hispanic male, 5 feet 5 inches tall, 160 pounds, with a shaved head and about 23-years-old. He was wearing a blue shirt and dark pants, according to the report.

WASHINGTON - Government inspectors finally have a big clue in the nationwide salmonella outbreak: They found the same bacteria strain on a single Mexican-grown jalapeno pepper handled in Texas — and issued a stronger warning for consumers to avoid fresh jalapenos.

But Monday’s discovery, the equivalent of a fingerprint, doesn’t solve the mystery: Authorities still don’t know where the pepper became tainted — on the farm, or in the McAllen, Texas, plant, or at some stop in between, such as a packing house.

Nor are they saying the tainted pepper exonerates tomatoes sold earlier in the spring that consumers until last week had been told were the prime suspect.

Still, “this genetic match is a very important break in the case,” said Dr. David Acheson, the Food and Drug Administration’s food safety chief.  MORE>>>

In the Ramada Inn, across I-10 from Ikea, dozens of young sales agents spill out of vans and head for the first-floor conference room. They’re in their late teens and early twenties, tired from a long day of selling magazine subscriptions door-to-door, but excited about the money they think they’re going to get.

In the conference room, a line of ­middle-aged managers sit behind folding tables and count the stacks of receipts and cash their agents place before them. It’s a ton of money. The crews hit Houston in late February, it’s near the end of March now and it’s been a lucrative stay. Houston is always a windfall.

It’s been a tough hop for this caravan of sales crews, though. Winding their way down from California, they lost a few agents. Two were arrested in Albuquerque after they allegedly forced their way into the home of an elderly couple and beat them to death, raping the wife first. A few weeks later, another agent allegedly raped a woman in Claremont, California, so he got picked up, too. Then, in West Texas, a van flipped, killing one agent and injuring three others. That’s seven agents out of commission. That’s about a $2,800 loss per day. Read more »

Apollo Braun (real name: Doron Braunshtein), an Israeli-born New York-area visual artist, has begun to gain notariety as of late for his ever-creative anti-Obama gear. In March, he launched his line of $129-250 custom “Who Killed Obama?” T-shirts, calling himself very “punk rock” to the fashion blogger at the New York Press. In May, Braun launched his Jews Against Obama T-shirt (pictured), also retailing for $250 from his Lower East Side boutique. On the release of this newest piece of politico-fashion, Braun gave his true feelings on Obama in a statement:

“I am a true anti-Obama New York Jew. The word on the street is that New York Jews will vote for McCain anyhow. The majority of the Jews – at least the ones that are proud of their religion and practice it – like me, don’t want to see Obama – a man who’s middle name is Hussein, and his family from his Kenyan father’s side is Muslim, as the leader of this great country.

More than that, after Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright honored Louis Farrakhan – definitely one of the most racist and anti-Semitic people alive – Obama lost us Jews totally. That made me start this political movement in the first place.”

And today, I get an Email from Mr. Braun’s publicist, telling of his new $30-creation, an “Obama=Hitler” T-shirt, perhaps his most shocking creation to date: Read more »

With the world focused on the antics of Africa’s newest dictator Robert Mugabe, it is perhaps not surprising that the South African government has apparently succumbed to pressure and has temporarily halted its intention to ram the Land Expropriation Bill through Parliament.

The government has badly misjudged not only South African opinion but world sentiment around the wholesale grabbing of productive land. World food hunger is no longer something that happens to other countries - as South Africa is a net importer of some crucial staples, what is happening around the globe could even jeopardize the ANC government’s hold on power, something the party has always taken for granted.

More than 2 000 residents of the Ugandan town Lokali fought and scrambled to collect World Food Program (WFP) aid one Saturday last month. Some received bags of corn or beans, and the WFP rations dwindled. Guarding this small food stash, “police clutch assault rifles to scare off bandits”, says Time magazine, “as well as sticks to beat recipients who try to steal. With just a few sacks remaining, thieves and the needy rush the stash. The officers thrash them all - old women and children too - until they drop the sacks and scatter”. Read more »

July 21 (Bloomberg) — Rochus Misch, Hitler’s bodyguard, telephonist and messenger, was the last person to escape alive from the bunker where the Nazi leader spent his final days.

Now aged 90 and no longer able to handle the many interview requests that come his way, Misch has decided to publish his story. “Der letzte Zeuge” (“The Last Witness”) is mainly motivated by his desire to set straight details that he says were misrepresented in reconstructions such as the 2004 movie “Der Untergang” (“The Downfall”) starring Bruno Ganz.

Misch’s perspective on “the boss,” as he and his colleagues referred to Hitler, is not the historical one of a racist monster bent on world domination and the extermination of an entire people. He gives us the private Hitler, with minutiae of what he ate (lots of gruel, because of persistent stomach problems), his small acts of kindness toward staff, his insistence on a hot-water bottle for his feet at night and his affection for his dog Blondi.

Black Panther-turned human rights campaigner Mumia Abu-Jamal has requested a retrial on his conviction of murdering a police officer, after his death sentence was overturned in March, his lawyer said Sunday.

A three-member Philadelphia appeals court on March 27 voted two-to-one to overturn the former radio journalist’s death sentence, while upholding his conviction for the 1981 murder of Daniel Faulkner.

The court said Abu-Jamal, 54, should face a new sentencing hearing or have his sentence commuted to life in jail.

Abu-Jamal, 54, has always claimed his innocence while on death row for 25 years. While in jail, he became a leading campaigner against the death penalty.   MORE>>>

PITTSBURGH - Authorities say a slain pregnant woman may have been alive and was possibly drugged when a baby was ripped from her womb, allegedly by a woman who tried to pass the infant off as her own.

The eviscerated body of 18-year-old Kia Johnson of McKeesport was found bound at the wrists and ankles with duct tape, and wrapped in a comforter and garbage bags.

Her partially decomposed remains were in the master bedroom of Andrea Curry-Demus, 38, who was charged Sunday with homicide, unlawful restraint and kidnapping, officials said.

Authorities said Curry-Demus, who served prison time in the 1990s for snatching a 3-week-old baby girl from a hospital, took the baby boy to a Pittsburgh hospital and claimed that it was her own.   MORE>>>
