Inmate Falls Into Judge's Chambers


Sep 9, 7:41 AM (ET)


DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - An inmate found himself before a judge sooner than he expected when he fell through the courthouse ceiling into the judge's chambers while trying to escape, police said.

Ben N. Rogozensky, 31, was one of about a dozen inmates awaiting hearings Monday when he was taken to the empty jury room to speak with his attorney.

The inmate asked to go into the adjacent restroom and from there climbed into the ceiling crawl space, DeKalb County sheriff's spokeswoman Mikki Jones said.

State Court Judge J. Antonio DelCampo was in the courtroom when the barefoot Rogozensky fell through the ceiling and landed near the judge's desk in his chambers.

A technician who was fixing the judge's computer called for security officers, who grabbed Rogozensky in the hallway.

Rogozensky was arrested Sept. 2 and charged with obstruction of officers and giving false information.

Charles McKinley in Dallas jail cell yesterday, three days after stunning his parents and flooring deliveryman by popping out of air cargo box at journey's end.

Charles McKinley wanted to fly home in the worst way.
Leaving unpaid bills and bad blood, the fast-talking Texan packed himself in a crate and shipped himself from a Bronx warehouse to his parents' Texas home.

Armed with a cell phone, McKinley, 25, completed the two-plane, 18-hour, 1,500-mile journey unscathed — but was arrested after he pried himself out of the wooden box Saturday.

"I'm just a guy who really wanted to go home," McKinley told the Daily News in a jailhouse interview. "I wish I had taken a bus. Right now, I wish I had walked out of New York.

"I would advise no one to ever do this," he told The Dallas Morning News.

Law enforcement officials questioning McKinley labeled him a potential terrorist. "I never thought that I'd have a terrorist label on me," he said, adding that he couldn't help but "break down and cry when they did."

McKinley said a friend talked him into riding along with clothes and a computer McKinley was shipping to Texas. Draped with a sheet, McKinley — who is 5-feet-8 and 170 pounds — hopped into a wooden box measuring 3-by-3 1/2 feet and 15 inches deep. He assumed it would be transported in a heated portion of a plane.

At first, McKinley said, he worried about being discovered. But he got frightened when the temperature plunged during the second of his two cargo flights.

"I was so scared," he said. "Nervous and scared."

The head of the company that unwittingly shipped McKinley said he could easily have died if the crate had been put in an unpressurized cargo hold. "He took a hell of a chance," said Richard Phillips, head of Pilot Air Freight.

McKinley was promptly jailed for 10 days on a warrant for passing a bad check, and the FBI was investigating whether he broke stowaway laws.

But District Attorney Bill Hill said he could not cite any state laws that McKinley broke. "He violated the law of stupidity, if nothing else," Hill said.

The weird tale started when someone from Metro Machine Technics of the Bronx ordered a heavy package sent to Texas.

McKinley's buddy nailed him in Friday. Shipping company officials said he used his cell phone to direct a deliveryman to the crate sitting on a corner. McKinley said he didn't drink after 11 a.m. Friday to avoid needing a toilet.

The 400-pound box was driven to Kennedy Airport, flown on a pressurized cargo plane to Fort Wayne, Ind., then on to Dallas.

The trip cost more than $500. "He could've flown first class for that," Phillips said. Metro Machine will be billed, although company President Oscar Castillo insisted he doesn't know McKinley.

Reaches the burbs

Once in Dallas, McKinley's crate was picked up by deliveryman Billy Ray Thomas and brought to his parents' well-kept suburban home.

Thomas got spooked when he spotted two eyes peering through a broken slat. He thought a body was inside, but seconds later McKinley pushed his way out. "He [nearly] turned red," McKinley recalled. "That's how scared he was." The prodigal son shook Thomas' hand and walked into his shocked parents' arms. His dad asked why he didn't take a bus.

"I went inside, took a shower and had a big drink of water," McKinley said. "Then the cops came."

Back in New York, friends warned to treat anything McKinley said with a grain of salt.

Vivian Stokes, 47, said he ripped her off for months worth of rent in her Brooklyn home and racked up thousand of dollars in credit card charges, spun tales about family wealth and said his mother had died in a tragic car crash.

McKinley's aunt Mary Carter said she spoke to the jailed stowaway's mother, Katie. "They're embarrassed. ... She's upset because her baby's in jail," Carter said.

McKinley was already making plans for when he gets out of jail. "I know once this is over with, I'll probably go right back to New York," he said.

He didn't say how.

And he's black....

Feds lower boom on crate man

For a while, it was just a crazy stunt. Now, it's a crime.
Charles McKinley, the homesick man who shipped himself to Texas from the Bronx in a crate, was charged yesterday with being a stowaway on a plane.

After spending most of the afternoon being quizzed in a Dallas jail, McKinley was expected to be taken into federal custody. He faces up to a year in prison.

"I guess I'm going to have to get a lawyer," McKinley, 25, told the Daily News. "If anyone knows a good attorney, send him my way."

As McKinley prepared to face the music, he struggled again to explain why he crawled into a small crate for a 1,500-mile journey. "I truly felt like I hit rock bottom in New York," he said. "I had to get out of there."

Friends tried to make sense of his wacky trek, which started when a friend nailed him in and ended with his delivery to his parents' home.

"I understand he's homesick and wants to go home, but ... wow," said Troy Felder of the Bronx, who occasionally let McKinley live with him.

Echoing other acquaintances, Felder called McKinley a puzzle — a pleasant person who left a $400 phone bill and spun lies.

McKinley said he was a bank loan officer, but he never went to work in the morning and left altogether for days at a time.

Paul Parham, another friend, also said McKinley told tales of rich relatives and big-money jobs but struggled to find a place to stay. "He's been telling people too many lies," said Parham, 20, of Manhattan. "I couldn't handle it."

McKinley said he called in the shipping order to UPS himself and was sealed in by another friend he said was also named Paul Parham. He gave a Bronx address and waited in the crate for the deliveryman.

Authorities also were investigating how McKinley eluded security checks.

"It certainly shows that we have more work to do on cargo security," said Homeland Security Department official Asa Hutchinson.

"This situation could have led to disaster," added Jon Safley, president of the Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations.

Come to think of it...yes, it could have led to a "disaster."

Don't want to talk about "scary thoughts," but if you think about it...imagine all the crazy things CERTAIN PEOPLE would do transporting themselves as cargo :eek:

I don't remember exactly who this was, but didn't a slave do this to free himself? I remember discussing this in school, but I can't think of they guy's name. I think it was something like Henry "box" Brown, but I don't know. Does anyone know the man's name?

Did a quick search on Google.com and this is what I found:

Man kept wife's remains in backyard freezer...
 

Friday, September 12, 2003 Posted: 7:43 AM EDT (1143 GMT)

Rowlette told police he was keeping his wife's body frozen in hopes that someday science could bring her back to life.

PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- A 75-year-old man stored his wife's body for nearly six years in his backyard, twisted and upside down in an old freezer, because he hoped she could someday be brought back to life, authorities said.

When police went to Edwin Rowlette's home after receiving a tip from his daughter, they found dozens of cats along with feces and urine inside the house. The backyard, where one of the daughter's friends discovered the body, was cluttered with garbage, debris, insulation and furniture.

Authorities found Marcia Lynn Rowlette's body packed in dry ice and insulation and stored along with the bodies of ten dead cats. Rowlette told police he used the cats for research.

Rowlette was arrested last week on a felony charge of crimes against the dead. Investigators are trying to determine if he legally acquired his wife's body from a funeral home and whether he submitted the proper documents.

"One of the areas that we're looking at is if he had committed a fraud in obtaining the body," said Prescott police Sgt. Michael Kabbel.

Prescott, a pine-studded town of about 33,000, is located 90 miles north of Phoenix.

Rowlette told police he was keeping his wife's body frozen in hopes that someday science could bring her back to life.

Marcia Rowlette was wheelchair-bound and lived in a nursing home before she died Dec. 15, 1997:eek:, of respiratory failure. The 38-year-old woman had a history of rheumatoid arthritis and musculoskeletal problems.

"She had a lot of congenital anomalies that made it difficult to do anything," said Karen Gere, medical investigator with the Yavapai County medical examiner's office.

After her death, Marcia Rowlette's body was transferred to a funeral home. The body was released to the McCandless Research and Development Foundation after Rowlette submitted documents showing his wife's body was being donated for scientific research.

Rowlette said he created the foundation in 1985 and calls it an organization that supports scientific research and humanitarian causes. Police are investigating whether the foundation is legitimate.

The president of the Scottsdale, Arizona-based cryonics facility said to be storing the body of baseball great Ted Williams said he was unfamiliar with Rowlette's organization.

Alcor Life Extension Foundation president Jerry B. Lemler also noted that cryonics is generally performed with liquid nitrogen, not dry ice, because liquid nitrogen is colder.

"I hate to be the one to burst the bubble on this man's dream," Lemler said. "He had a dream that we share here at Alcor. But I don't think his methodology was very thought out."

Mr. Rowlette ain't playing with a full deck. :eek: :eek:

On the real, it looks as if he has some psychological dysfunction, and should be evaluated. :(

This mofo sounds weird. GROSS!!!
