Case #1 - The People vs Jeff Fleming’s shame, his cousin, Scott Aikin (on AKA’s)

Case #1 - The People vs Jeff Fleming’s shame, his cousin, Scott Aikin (on AKA’s or what do Rocks and Boulderss think about?  Nothing, apparently.)

     When Big Scott Aikin got to Carson Sheriff's Station, he began earning nicknames faster than lightning can strike.  Scott “The Rock” Aiken didn’t earn his nickname “The Rock” as a comparison to his muscles though.  No, it was more of a comparison to his thinking and swimming abilities.  On a summer river trip, “The Rock” almost drowned…while wearing a life preserver.  In a panicked last ditch effort to retain buoyancy “The Rock” peeled off his rubber sandals and frantically threw them, as far away as he could, where they bobbed aimlessly on the water’s surface. Smart thinkin’ that was!  Surprisingly, it didn’t help!  Go figure.  Luckily, "Pugsley", who also had the nickname, "Boulder", because he was shaped like one, was nearby on a jet ski.  "Boulder" heard “The Rock’s” girlish squeals for help and rushed to the rescue.  "Boulder" demonstrated the “Rescue Diver” skills, that he had recently earned from the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department, by immediately evaluating the situation and saving “The Rock’s” $1.99 floating flip flops.  After verifying that no one else’s floating footwear was in distress, "Boulder" jetted over to “The Rock”, saving him in the nick of time. Wow.  Just typing out the details has me in a dither.  This incident earned “The Rock” a second nickname, “Lloyd”….as in Lloyd Bridges.  You know, from “Seahunt”?  Oh, and "Boulder", here’s a tip, in the phrase  “ …to protect life, protect property and preserve the peace…”, “protect life”, is first for a reason.

   One week after the river trip incident “Smilin’ Bob" Mittelbrun and I were trying to figure out which PM unit had logged on with shotgun #7, because we found it…uh, never mind why.  Scott don’t need no “X” days (Unpaid days off), so we won’t go there.  Anyway we discovered that no PM unit had taken shotgun #7.  This was a puzzler.  We knew someone had used shotgun #7 because we found it…oh yeah, that part’s a secret.  Anyway we decided to check the vehicle inspection forms for the PM shift.  Let’s see, there was #9, #23, #5, #L, #33, #.....Whoa there cowboy!, Back the wagon up!  #L?  Here’s a tip for you “Rock”, and all you little would be “Rocks”, all of our shotguns are numbered, not lettered.  So the next time you get shotgun #L, or #b, turn it upside down.

VERDICT – Not Guilty By Reason Of Mental Incompetence.

Case #11- The LASD vs L.A.P.D. (playing cops and cops)

     In September 1987, the Carson patrol area known as, "Tortilla Flats", was suffering a rash of burglaries.  To combat this, Deputy Ray Gayton-Jacob and Al Harris, who were training officers at the time, came up with a burglary suppression plan.  On, about, Wednesday, September 14, 1987, Ray and his trainee would be dressed in full uniform, but in an unmarked, Chevy Malibu, detective car.  They would cruise the Tortilla Flats neighborhood looking for burglars.  Al and his trainee, would remain outside of the neighborhood in a regular patrol car.  If Ray and his partner saw something suspicious, they would keep an eye on it and call in Al and his trainee to check it out.      Things were quiet, until about 1:00 A.M..  Ray, and his trainee, had just finished jamming a hype at Torrance Boulevard and New Hampshire Avenue and had resumed their patrol.  Ray spotted a black and white patrol car coming slowly their way. ...

Retirement party advice

Retirement party advice          So March is coming up and we all know what that means. It's retirement season! Retirement can be a very stressful time. I'm not talking about retirement itself, I mean the Retirement Party.      People wonder if they should throw a retirement party. If they do, should they sell tickets? If they sell tickets, will anybody buy them? Should they make it a sit down dinner? Should they foot the full bill? Who will come? Should it be invitation only? Will ANYBODY come? So here's my advice.  I wondered about throwing a party.  Initially I was, "Naw, I don't want to sell tickets.  First off, what if nobody buys them, or even worse, it's like the football party I threw in 2000 where only three guys from the station showed up and I'd barely said anything more than "Hey" to them in the years I'd known them?  Secondly, I don't want to foot the bill for the whole party, 'cause everybody knows, if the dr...

Case #46 - re The People vs Jeff Fleming again (Is someone missing a fat white guy?)

Case #46 - re The People vs Jeff Fleming again (Is someone missing a fat white guy?)      A bunch of us were helping Jeff and the rest of the Carson Narco crew out on a warrant service. Entry had been made and everything was Code-4, or so we thought. I was standing on the front porch of the target location when a neighbor lady came running up to me all out of breath, “Deputy! Deputy!” “Yes Ma’am?” “One of the people you’re looking for ran out the back!” “What!”, I said. I was surprised, because the house had been surrounded when entry was made and nobody reported seeing anyone run out. “Are you sure?” “Yes! He jumped the wall into my backyard and my rottweiler went after him.”      I got on the radio and advised units that we had an outstanding suspect. At this moment Jeff Fleming came walking out of the house and stood by us. he was sweating and somewhat out of breath. That didn't really surprise me. At the time, Jeff was frickin massive and jus...
