Florida Man Accused of Hitting Girlfriend With 3-Foot Alligator During Argument

The Associated Press



PORT ORANGE, Fla. July 17, 2004 — A man hit his girlfriend with a 3-foot alligator and threw beer bottles at her during an argument in the couple's mobile home, authorities said.
David Havenner, 41, was scheduled for a bond hearing Saturday on misdemeanor charges of battery and possession of an alligator.

The alligator, which Havenner had been keeping in his bathtub, was turned over to Florida wildlife officials.

Nancy Monico, 39, told investigators that Havenner beat her with his fists, then grabbed the alligator and swung it at her as she tried to escape, sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said. She said the animal hit her at least once. She also told authorities that Havenner threw empty beer bottles at her, Davidson said.

Havenner's version of the story differed. He told investigators that Monico bit his hand because she was upset that they had run out of alcohol.

Stewart says Mandela will be her inspiration to cope with jail

July 18, 2004

BY CHARLES LAURENCE


NEW YORK -- Martha Stewart says she's facing up to the prospect of doing time -- and that Nelson Mandela's example will help her to cope.

Asked how she would handle prison food, fellow inmates and strip searches, Stewart said she would take her cue from Mandela's prison experiences. The former South African president and anti-apartheid campaigner spent 27 years in solitary confinement.

"I could do it. I'm a really good camper. I can sleep on the ground," she told Barbara Walters in an interview on ABC. "If it is looming ahead of me, I'm going to have to face it, and take it and do it and get it over with. There's many other good people that have gone to prison. Look at Nelson Mandela."

The five month sentence Stewart received Friday was the most lenient punishment she could have gotten, but America's disgraced domestic goddess and former CEO said she was "terribly disappointed" by the sentence.

Stewart was also ordered to serve five months under house arrest after being found guilty of lying to federal investigators about a stock sale. In court Friday, Stewart spoke in a shaky voice of her shame, and asked the judge to "remember all the good I have done."

Only a few hours later, in the interview with Walters, Stewart changed her tune. While lawyers said she had been lucky, Stewart complained: "I had hoped for, at the most, some confinement, community service. Instead, I have five months of incarceration and five months of house arrest that is monitored."

During the trial, Stewart was accused of appearing arrogant and was criticized for carrying a Hermes Birkin handbag worth $6,000 into court. In her first TV interview since her sentence was stayed, pending appeal, she said she had been singled out because she was successful.

"Do you know, that is my only handbag?" she said. "And I bought it, I think, 12 or 14 years ago. I bought that for myself when I felt successful enough to buy a beautiful handbag. And it did not cost $6,000 12 or 14 years ago."

things that make you say hmmm.......

Yeah, that's classic.........

[Lady of Pearl]

How can she possibly equate her situation to Mandelas! Are you a political prisoner, duh I don't think so, your a multimillionaire entrepreneur who didn't know when enough money was enough!

[stardusttwin]

The way they quoted her here (& on various shows) is not what she said in the interview - Barbara Walters kept pushing the question of how would Martha cope with being in prison to which Martha responded "Mandela served 27 years in prison - surely I can "survive" five months..."

But of course the headline that ran the next day said "Martha compares herself to Mandela"...because that sells more papers.

[LadySunshine]

that does seem like a stupid thing to say and it could have been blown out of proportion but still...she should have known better to use Mandela as an example. especially since she probably will be in club fed...

When I heard Martha compare herself to Mandela, I was DONE!!!

Dentist Allegedly Injected Semen Into Patients' Mouths
Woman Said Substance Tasted Like Semen
POSTED: 11:11 AM EDT July 26, 2004


CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former employees of a dentist claim the man made female patients unwittingly swallow his semen during visits to his office in Cornelius.

Dr. John Hall is accused by the state dental board of violating dentistry's standard of care, engaging in immoral conduct, and committing sexual assault or battery.

Six former patients -- including a 14-year-old -- say he tricked them into swallowing his semen. A seventh claims he jumped on top of her in the dental chair and "began to gyrate against her lower body in a sexual manner."

The dental board suspended Hall's license Nov. 5, after police began investigating allegations by two former employees. In February, it conditionally restored his license, barring him from being alone with female patients.

Hall's lawyers say the dentist has been falsely accused by disgruntled former employees. He was collecting his semen because he was taking Propecia, a drug to promote hair growth, and was concerned about potential side effects that include low sperm count and diminished semen, his lawyer, Emerson Thompson, said.

The dental board heard testimony Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The hearing is to continue next weekend.

The five-member panel will decide whether Hall can keep his license. The case is still being investigated by authorities in Charlotte, Cornelius and Mecklenburg County.

Hall's former assistant Cheryl Lynn MacLeod testified Saturday that she found it odd that Hall began asking her to leave a patient's side to retrieve items that he never used.

She also became suspicious when she overheard him tell patients to "swallow" something, and when she saw him take a syringe out of his lab coat pocket while working beside a patient.

In May 2003, she and former office administrator Susie Hillman took the five syringes from office waste containers and Hall's lab coat pockets and gave them to police.

Hall's lawyer, Thompson, suggested the substance Hall asked patients to swallow could have been a dental product.

But in a sworn deposition read aloud Saturday, Hall's former dental assistant Rhonda Hamilton described several dental products used in Hall's office and none matched the patients' descriptions of what was put in their mouths.

When Cornelius police searched Hall's office Nov. 5, they confiscated five more syringes with Hall's semen from his desk, according to the board and hearing testimony.

Five of the six patients testified Friday. The first, a 40-year-old woman, said she objected when Hall began to put a substance from a syringe into her mouth during a procedure on Sept. 4, telling him: "That smells like sperm."

She said Hall drew back and said, "You're crazy." She said she couldn't taste the substance because her mouth was numb.

Another witness, a 33-year-old woman, said Hall asked his assistant to retrieve something from another room during her appointment in May 2003. While the assistant was gone, she said Hall told her to lie back, open her mouth and swallow.

"When I swallowed I tasted it, and it was semen. ... He told me it was cleaning solution." She said she drove directly to her husband's office nearby and told him what happened, but he and a colleague dismissed the idea. She said she tried to convince herself she was wrong, and contacted police only after hearing about the investigation on the news.

Worker finds $46,000 in Columbus landfill

The Associated Press
Published on: 07/28/04


COLUMBUS, Ga. — One man's trash is another man's — money?

A backhoe operator found $46,000 in $20 bills, wrapped in clear plastic bags, while moving garbage at a Columbus landfill, authorities said Tuesday.


"It was found buried in garbage that had been there for some time," Deputy City Manager Isaiah Hugley said. "It had been there for a number of years."

The employee was digging trenches and moving bags of garbage when he spotted the money Friday. He notified his supervisor.
...

As of Tuesday, police had yet to determine where the money came from — bank robbery, drug deal, or from an old mattress? After 90 days, it becomes abandoned property, Slouchick said, and the city may be eligible to claim it.

Can you imagine "misplacing" this much money? i would have torn that dump up!!

I just noticed this....the city might claim it?!?!?! What about the guy that found it?

[Steeltrap]

This sick f*** of a dentist. I nearly lost my lunch reading this. Nasty, nasty, nasty. Why the f*** would you want your patients to swallow your sexually-created substances?

[RedefinedDiva]

I'm trying to remain an adult about the situation, but the first thing that came to my mind was, "How do they know what semen tastes like?" Then, of course, I snapped back to reality. These are grown women.

I did read that the dentisit was supposedly collecting his sperm because he was taking Propecia and wanted to check his sperm count. BUT, why would you do that AT WORK? They story is gross and shady. There is no understanding of what kind of pleasure he could have possibly gotten from this.

[Nubian]

I'm sorry, I know its wrong, but when I picture some poor woman saying "Hey, that tastes like semen". I just start LMBAO!
