(WGHP) Police in Statesville have charged an 83-year-old man who worked as a greeter at Walmart with attempting to rob his own store. Officers responded to the garden center section of the Walmart, located at 1116 Crossroads Drive in Statesville, shortly before 7 p.m. Police say George Plane Jr., 83, of Mooresville, was working Sunday night when he went to his car, donned a disguise and walked back inside with a gun. Statesville Police Chief Tom Anderson says Plane put the gun to a fellow employee’s head and demanded money from a cash register. Anderson says Plane fired a shot in the air after leaving with the money. Police said that witnesses pointed officers in the direction of Plane’s vehicle. Plane was arrested later Sunday. The money was returned to the business, police said. Plane was placed in the Iredell County Detention Center under a $75,000 bond. His first court appearance is scheduled for Monday. He faces multiple charges, including robbery with a dangerous weapon. What in the hell was he trying to get a way with— a pack of Depends?????
Yesterday afternoon, the buzz machine behind the New York Post’s Page Six Magazine released an “exclusive” quote from their big Chris Brown feature in which he, of course was “talking about Rihanna once again.” Every entertainment blog and website picked up the quote , noting how, once again, Chris Brown was being exactly what the media has painted him out to be over the last two years: unapologetic and self-absorbed. The headlines were all pretty much the same, and everyone had something to say about it, including a domestic violence group which issued a statement so fast, it almost seemed like they had the press release ready and waiting for Chris to f*ck up once again. Here’s the problem with all that: CHRIS BROWN NEVER SAID HE WAS TIRED OF APOLOGIZING ABOUT THE RIHANNA INCIDENT. In fact, the quote released to the media was actually pulled from Chris’s answer to a question about what advice he would give his younger self. The bigger quote leading into that statement and the previous quote released about “being blackballed” spoke nothing about Rihanna and all about the meaning of fame in his life and both meanings of his album F.A.M.E. “Fame is what everybody seeks,” he says. “I get an adrenaline rush from it. But fame is basically love and hate all in one. Without bad, there is no good. Without good, there is no bad. But when [most] people see certain things happen to somebody, they usually turn away. They don’t want to get involved with it because they don’t want their name attached to anything negative. [Now] They wanna get on the record. They wanna let me back in the door. The last two years, everybody dissed me. But my fans were so dedicated. The way I look at it is, you can’t walk around mad, because then you just prove everybody right that you’re an angry person. So F.A.M.E. means “Forgiving All My Enemies” and “Fans Are My Everything.” Because I”m dedicating it to my fans.” Beyond the fact that the quote was about his album, the feature in Page Six Magazine was meant to focus on BreezyArt and Chris Brown’s newly rediscovered love of visual art. Bottom line: Chris Brown has completed his court mandated anger management courses and the majority of his community service. The judge overseeing his probation has said more than once how impressed he’s been with Chris’s progress. He has released three successful singles leading up to this album. He was even nominated for a Grammy for a mixtape track. At which point does the focus go back to his music? SMH.

Poor momma probably rolling over in her grave…damn shame. Authorities say a Washington state woman suspected of pension fraud was arrested when she tried to open a bank account in her dead mother’s name while disguised as her mother. Whatcom County Sheriff Bill Elfo says 59-year-old Loewen B. Craft was wearing a gray wig and makeup to make her look older when she arrived this week at a credit union branch in Ferndale, Wash. The sheriff alleges Craft fraudulently collected more than $145,000 in pension benefits since her mother, Betty Becker, died in 2007. Detective John Allgire was waiting at the credit union. He arrested Craft for investigation of first-degree identity theft, criminal impersonation and multiple counts of forgery. The sheriff says the scheme began to unravel when the detective started investigating an unrelated arson case. He learned that Becker had been admitted to St. Joseph hospital in 2007 and died on April 23, 2007. Lock this b*tch away somewhere cold and lonely. Please and thank you. Source
SMH: The mother of a black Ohio fifth grader assigned to play a slave for a social studies lesson says the school should be more sensitive. Principal Scott Schmidt of Chapelfield Elementary in Gahanna called Aneka Burton to apologize for what happened to her son, Nikko, on Wednesday. Columbus station WBNS-TV reports Schmidt said no harm was intended. Ten-year-old Nikko says the class was randomly divided into “masters” and “slaves” and that the only other black student got to be a master. Burton says her son refused to take part in a simulated slave auction and was sent back to his desk. Burton says she appreciates the apology, but the exercise was inappropriate. The school district said in a statement Thursday that officials acted promptly once the concern was raised. SMH x 2. Source

Bossip Word of The Day: “Hypocrite”, spelled D-E-B-R-A O-B-E-R-L-I-N Meet Debra Oberlin. The 48-year-old realtor, a native of Gainesville, Florida — and former president of its’ local Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter — was arrested in connection with driving under the influence, RadarOnline.com has learned. Oberlin was pulled over by police at 1:10 am ET February 18 after officers reported seeing her driving erratically, swerving and crossing lanes, according to the area’s local paper, The Gainesville Sun. Oberlin’s field sobriety test told the rest of the story, the paper reported, as she rang up between a .234 and .239 blood-alcohol level, far surpassing the state’s legal limit of .08. In an exclusive statement to RadarOnline.com, a spokesperson for MADD responds to Oberlin’s arrest: “MADD is concerned to hear about the recent alleged drunk driving arrest of Debra Oberlin. MADD commends law enforcement for their efforts to keep our roads safe and are hopeful that no one was hurt as a result of this incident. In 2009 alone, nearly 11,000 lives were lost due to drunk driving and another 400,000 people were injured in alcohol-related crashes in the U.S. It is our hope that this recent occurrence will serve as a reminder to others to plan ahead for a safe ride if their plans include alcohol.” In addition, MADD says that Ms. Oberlin’s term as chapter president of MADD was nearly 20 years ago and she was serving in a volunteer capacity. Oberlin’s MADD chapter closed in 1996 due to lack of financial support; she’d served atop the branch for three years. Ain’t that about a b*tch. The court needs to charge her a couple extra stacks for having the nerve to be DUI in the first place. via RadarOnline
