The  following is a story how the Stun Alarm Flashlight
was used.

Ever since her husband died, Abby felt a little less safe in
their brown brick townhouse. They had always wanted to live in
the city together, so they saved up what they could to buy a
fixer-upper in a blossoming neighborhood.

Then David got sick.

Before very long, Abby was on her own again. She wanted to hang
on to the good memories of that house, feeling confident that she
and her neighbors were driving the bad element off the block.

Still, she always made sure she was prepared for the worst. And
when the lights went out on her during a really violent
thunderstorm, she shuffled downstairs to the broom closet for her
favorite flashlight, a gadget David had bought for her for their
last Christmas together.

Sixteen and a half inches long, but still very light, Abby loved
how it brightened up a room. She turned it on, and looked for her
emergency radio.  Red and blue lights flickered through the
windows, so Abby figured that the power would come back soon.

As she swiveled around, the bright beam of light illuminated a
strange face.  Abby gasped.

“Don’t make a sound,” growled the stranger, “or I’ll hurt you.”

It didn’t even take Abby a heartbeat to lunge forward with the
flashlight. Her attacker grinned, expecting to deflect a blow.
Instead, he received a 200,000-volt jolt of electricity from the
flashlight’s built-in stun baton. Abby loved that flashlight for
a reason.

Rushing over to the window, she activated the flashlight’s
piercing alarm. Cops outside saw her waving the light and rushed
up to her building. She found out later that her attacker was a
convicted criminal who tried to escape when his prisoner
transport vehicle crashed into a utility pole.

That explained the blackout – and the presence of this scary
individual in Abby’s home. The police sergeant had a blast
explaining to the detectives how Abby used an innocent looking
flashlight to nab one of the city’s most wanted felons.  And Abby
felt David’s presence in their home even stronger than ever.

If the allegations against Eric Barney are true, boyfriends don’t get much worse.

Barney is suspected of kidnapping, false imprisonment and more for allegedly holding his girlfriend hostage and abusing her regularly over a two-month span.

According to Fox31, Barney isn’t exactly an unknown quantity from a law-enforcement perspective. His rap sheet features domestic violence accusations, as well as a 2004 first-degree murder charge that was later dropped.

The house where the woman says she was held hostage.

But cops suspect him of venturing into new territory in recent months.

Back in July, Barney’s girlfriend was admitted to a local hospital after being beaten. At the time, she told police Barney had held a pillow to her face and tried to strangle her.

That was enough for officers to issue an arrest warrant in Barney’s name. But before they could arrest him, he showed up at the woman’s house as she slept — and a police report portrays what happened afterward as a waking nightmare.

A larger look at Barney’s mug shot.

Over the next two months, police believe Barney forced the woman to stay inside her house near 52nd and Sheridan — and mostly in her bedroom. In fact, he’s said to have only let her go to the bedroom after she secured his permission to do so. He also abused the woman physically, if the blood-stained walls and mattress found inside are any indication. And if the threat of violence against her wasn’t enough to guarantee her cooperation, he allegedly said that her family would be in danger, either from him or unknown associates, if she reached out to the cops.

Nonetheless, she managed to escape two weeks ago — and this time around, officers got their hands on Barney. He’s presently cooling his heels in Denver jail. Now, he’s the one who can’t use the bathroom without asking first.

This is an article by someone I really like, He writes for the Baltimore Sun and hopefully you will  understand why you should always have you and your family’s  safety in mind!

The man in the tan jacket and hood seen emerging from Doris Dodge’s West Friendship home is accused of stealing a pile of jewelry worth $3,700, including a diamond ring, a gold wedding band and a sapphire stone.

But it was Dodge’s $50 high school class ring from 1971, her initials engraved in the side, that meant the most to her.

By Peter Hermann, The Baltimore Sun

Police say it was that very ring from Terra Alta High School in West Virginia that helped lead detectives to the suspects — a husband-and-wife team charged in connection with a string of burglaries that has heightened fears in the rural western reaches of Howard County.

Court documents filed Tuesday say the ring with Dodge’s initials “DJD” was pawned at a shop on Baltimore National Pike in Catonsville hours after the burglary. Police said the man who sold the heirloom gave the pawnbroker his driver’s license and home address.

“I’m relieved that two people got caught,” the 57-year-old Dodge said. “But I know it’s not personal. The jewelry is worth a lot of money, but my treasures are not stored on this earth.” Two items had sentimental value — her ring and her high school Hilltoppers “peace sign” that was part of a charm bracelet.

Police said their suspects followed a similar pattern in three subsequent break-ins — two in Marriottsville and one in Cooksville. Each time, police said, they traced an item linked to a burglary, such as a television and a gold charm, to a pawn shop.

Authorities have charged Edward James Johnson, 28, and his wife, Robin Renee Johnson, 27, with burglary and theft. The husband, in jail awaiting trial, faces charges in connection with four burglaries; his wife, who has been released on bail, is charged in connection with one break-in.

Howard County police say they are investigating as many as six more burglaries in the area to determine if they can be linked. Edward Johnson has an extensive criminal record that includes convictions in Howard and Carroll counties for theft and burglary, and he’s on probation until 2015. The suspects each gave police different addresses, though it appears they live in Mount Airy.

Dodge’s rental house on Rover Mill Road was broken into Feb. 24. Police said in charging documents that the owner, a school bus driver, nearly caught the burglar. She came home and saw a dark-colored car parked near her driveway, its emergency flashers on. She reported seeing a man wearing dark pants, tan jacket and a hood over his face come from a porch of a house she rents to Dodge, and get into the car, which sped off.

Police said the front door of the house Dodge lives in had been forced open and jewelry was taken from the master bedroom. Dodge said a laptop computer and assorted electronic gadgets in the living room were not disturbed.

Dodge said she inventoried the missing items and, in addition to notifying police, sent her own list to pawn shops to put them on alert. Pawn and second-hand shops are required to record names and addresses of people selling items, and must provide lists of all daily transactions to police, who routinely check against items reported stolen.

The  following is a story how the Secure Dog was
used.

Jake felt more than sad when Marshall passed away. He felt
worried.

Marshall was Jake’s loyal German Shepherd. For twelve years, he
guarded Jake’s sporting goods store from would-be thieves and
neighborhood troublemakers. Even as the neighborhood got a little
worse, Marshall kept the peace.

Jake’s store was the only one on the block without any graffiti.
Nobody, it seemed, wanted a run in with a big, angry guard dog.

Few people knew that Marshall was really a sweetheart, lavishing
Jake with kisses every time he’d open the store in the morning.

Jake’s daughter, Melissa, kept the store’s books, and paid a
visit to her father every Thursday. She knew the old man couldn’t
afford to install a state of the art security system. But she
also knew that he was a little too fragile to try and train
another big dog.

She brought her father a gift on her next visit. “This,” she
announced proudly, “will keep Marshall’s legend alive in the
neighborhood.”

She explained to Jake that the Secure Dog used infrared
sensors to watch the store at night, just like Marshall did. When
intruders showed up at either the front or the back doors, the
box would bark. And it would bark louder and louder until the
disturbance went away.

That Saturday night, two teenage boys strolled up the sidewalk.
The midnight streetlight stretched their shadows halfway up the
block. They banged and pulled on security gates as they talked
about the trouble they could cause.

“Didn’t old man Benson’s dog just die?” asked the tall one.

“I think I heard Billy say something like that,” replied the
short one, “I could sure use some new sneakers!”

They hustled up to the front window, but before they could even
try to break in, they heard loud barking from inside the store.
And it was getting louder.

“Yo, I thought you said that dog was dead,” cried the short
hooligan.

“He must have got a new one,” said his partner in crime, “I ain’t
messin’ with no dog!”

The two juveniles hustled away around the corner as fast as their
legs could carry them.

Marshall’s legacy remains intact. He’s still a presence in
Benson’s Sporting Goods, with a picture above the cash register -
and the loud bark from the Secure Dog.

Yours in safety,

Douglas Austin
