Zebra Global Shopper Study:
Pandemic Accelerates Technology Spending Plans for Six-in-10 Surveyed Retailers
Zebra
Technologies Corporation, an innovator at the front line of business with
solutions and partners that deliver a performance edge, today revealed the
results of its 13th annual
Global Shopper Study.
Zebra’s annual study found shoppers expect a seamless experience between stores
and online and are increasingly placing orders online because of desired product
availability, resulting in a surge of ecommerce orders with nearly 60% placing
an order in the last three months. With more than one-fifth of shoppers
returning an item purchased online, 57% of store associates are feeling
significantly challenged by these returns. Out-of-stocks also remain a challenge
and 41% of shoppers say this is the top reason for leaving stores without a
purchase. This is followed by long checkout lines (32%) and an inability to find
items (31%) both representing a marked increase from last year.
Safety now part of in-store experience
Consumer and associate confidence can be increased when precautions or safety
measures are put into place. Currently, there is a sizable trust gap between
retail decision-makers, shoppers and associates when it comes to health and
safety. While approximately 90% of decision-makers think shoppers and associates
trust them to make health and safety a priority, only 65% of shoppers and 77% of
associates agree. Nearly two-thirds (67%) of shoppers are concerned with surface
sanitation or social exposure in stores, and 59% of shoppers prefer stores with
contactless payment options. Seven-in-10 associates say social
distancing/contact tracing apps would allow them to provide a better customer
experience.

Protests & Violence
Mass Dismissal of Protest Arrests
Why Charges Against Protesters Are Being Dismissed by the Thousands
More than five months after protests on police brutality began across the U.S.,
thousands of cases are finally landing in courts, with a vast majority of cases
against protesters now being dismissed. Only cases involving more substantial
charges like property destruction or other violence remain.
Prosecutors called the scale of both the mass arrests and mass dismissals within
a few short months unrivaled, at least since the civil rights protests of the
early 1960s. With the police detaining hundreds of people in major cities,
the arrests this year ended up colliding with the limitations of the court
system.
In the aftermath, prosecutors declined to pursue many of the cases because they
concluded that the protesters were exercising their basic civil rights. Cases
involving free speech or free assembly rarely succeed in court, according to
prosecutors across the country, and the coronavirus pandemic also played a role
in the decision. A wave of thousands of minor cases threatened to capsize courts
already floundering under hefty lockdown backlogs.
There was also the recognition that law enforcement officers often use mass
arrests as a technique to help clear the streets, not to confront illegal
behavior.
For those handling the cases, the task has felt Sisyphean. “Every day I would
think I was done and the next morning there would be 50 or 100 cases to tally,”
said Mary Ellen Heng, a deputy city attorney for Minneapolis. So far the city
is pursuing about 75 of 666 cases.

Fairfield, CA: Chaos at City Council: 9 Arrested Following Protest
Over Hiring of Officer Accused Of Badge Bending
Nine people were arrested Tuesday during a Fairfield City Council meeting while
protesting the hiring of a former Vallejo officer who was involved in a fatal
shooting and accused of
badge bending. Badge bending is an alleged secret ritual where a police
officer bends the top of their badge to signify a killing.
Cell phone video from inside the meeting shows officers placing people in
handcuffs walking them outside. Most were protesting the hiring of officer
Dustin Joseph, who was involved in the shooting death of Mario Romero in
September of 2012 in Vallejo. The officer is also part of an outside
investigation into alleged badge bending. According to Fairfield Police Chief
Deanna Cantrell, the department wasn’t aware of the badge bending investigation
prior to the officer’s hiring.

Denver security companies who hired unlicensed guard may lose licenses
Denver's Dept. of Excise and Licenses said Monday that it has grounds to revoke
or suspend the licenses of two security companies that the city said arranged
for an unlicensed security guard who has subsequently
been charged with second-degree murder following the fatal, Oct. 10
shooting of a man at dueling Denver rallies.
The two companies — Pinkerton Consulting & Investigations and Isborn
Security Services — will defend their licenses at separate hearings, both
scheduled for Dec. 8. An independent hearing officer will listen to testimony
and evidence from the Denver City Attorney’s Office, witnesses, investigators
and the licensees.

CDC Urges Americans Not to Travel for Thanksgiving
The
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday recommended Americans
against traveling for Thanksgiving to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Dr. Henry Walke, CDC’s Covid-19 incident manager, said there is “no more
important time than now for each and every American to redouble our efforts to
watch our distance, wash our hands and, most importantly, wear a mask.”
“CDC is recommending against travel during the Thanksgiving period,”
he said. “For Americans who decide to travel, CDC recommends doing so as safely
as possible by following the same recommendations for everyday living.”
Walke added that the
CDC is concerned “about the transportation hubs.”
He said he’s worried people won’t be able to maintain social distancing while
waiting in line, for example, to board busses and planes.
“One of our concerns is that
as people over the holiday season get together, they may actually be bringing
infections with them to that small gathering and not even know it,”
he said, adding that
30% to 40% of spread is driven by people without symptoms.

Business Insurance for the Next Pandemic
New York retailer asks Congress to approve Pandemic Risk Insurance Act
A
New York City gift shop owner testifying on behalf of the National Retail
Federation today called on Congress to approve legislation that would help
businesses obtain insurance coverage for future pandemics.
Ann Cantrell, owner of Annie’s Blue Ribbon General Store in Brooklyn,
testified today before the House Financial Services Committee during an online
subcommittee hearing on the Pandemic Risk Insurance Act. Developed with
input from NRF and sponsored by Representative Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.,
the legislation is
modeled on the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act, which was enacted after the attacks
of September 11, 2001, made it difficult
for businesses to obtain insurance coverage against acts of terrorism.
The new measure would require that insurance companies offer business
interruption policies that cover pandemics but would create a federal backstop
program that would reimburse insurers when claims related to a pandemic or
epidemic exceed $250 million nationwide.
Covered businesses would have to demonstrate that they had suffered significant
business interruption with a sharp decline in revenue. Coverage would also be
required for large gatherings, ranging from sporting events to concerts to
conventions, that are canceled.
The program would cover only future pandemics, not claims from the current
COVID-19 pandemic, and would be capped at $750 billion.

Virus Cases Rise, but Hazard Pay for Retail Workers Doesn’t
With coronavirus cases rising across the country, retailers are preparing for
another rush from shoppers worried about new lockdowns and pandemic shortages.
But many retail workers, heralded as heroes during the first wave of the
pandemic, are not being provided with the same level of bonuses and raises this
time, even as the health risks for them increase. Even as some companies have
announced new hazard pay in recent days, some industry observers say many
retailers are not sharing enough of the profits they have earned during the
pandemic with their workers, but are instead benefiting shareholders through
stock buybacks.
Amazon, which said last month that its
quarterly profit had increased nearly 200 percent, ended its $2-an-hour pay
raise for workers earlier this year and then provided a pandemic-related bonus
in June, but a spokeswoman said no new hazard pay was planned.
Walmart, which reported another big
increase in quarterly sales on Tuesday, had paid a series of special cash
bonuses, but the company has not raised wages broadly as a way to reward workers
during the pandemic.
The grocery chain
Kroger
offered raises at the start of the pandemic and bonuses through mid-June, but
those have ended. Employees nationwide have staged protests outside stores
asking Kroger to reinstate the pay, especially given its booming business —
sales are soaring, and it recently said its 2021 business results “will be
higher than we would have expected prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.” This week,
the company told workers that they would receive discounts at its fuel centers
and a $100 store credit as a “holiday appreciation.”

COVID vaccine logistics to start as sprint, turn into marathon
About 40 million doses of two leading COVID-19 vaccines could be available for
nationwide distribution by the end of December, with similar amounts metered out
each month afterward in a carefully synchronized manner to ensure all
jurisdictions have a predictable supply, Operation Warp Speed officials said at
a press conference Wednesday.
Vaccine candidates from Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Moderna (NASDQ: MRNA) are
expected to soon be authorized for emergency use by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA)
after the companies this week said they were effective 95% of the time at
preventing coronavirus symptoms.
The federal task force coordinating the nationwide immunization campaign has
been working closely with jurisdictions to learn where they want vaccines to be
shipped.
Distribution is scheduled to begin within 24 hours of FDA authorization.
“The governors and the states will figure out the plan and we are ready to
execute as we’ve been working on for six months, doing numerous tabletop
exercises and now extending it into actual rehearsals of how to move the product
from fill finish sites to distribution centers down to actual administration
sites,” Army Gen. Gus F. Perna, chief operations officer of Operation Warp Speed
(OWS), said.

Bribing Anti-Vaxxers?
Economist: Pay people $1,000 to take coronavirus vaccine & avoid 'a lot of
angst'
While the initial wave of free vaccines will most likely go to the country’s
most vulnerable populations, reaching herd immunity to effectively slow the
spread of the virus requires that about 70% of the population be vaccinated.
How to ensure the U.S. reaches that level?
The idea of paying Americans to take the vaccine has been floated as a way to
achieve that 70% goal. Robert Litan, an economist who served in President
Clinton’s administration, first proposed that the government spend $275
billion to pay Americans $1,000 each to reach 80% herd immunity in August.
At that time, the prospect of a more than 90% effective vaccine seemed far
fetched. Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and
Infectious Diseases, said he would “settle” for a vaccine that is 70% to 75%
effective.
Paying people $1,000 to take the coronavirus vaccine is the price of
returning to a “normal” post-pandemic life, Litan told Yahoo Finance.

NYC to Close Public Schools Again as Virus Cases Rise
New York City’s entire public school system will shut on Thursday, signaling
that a second wave of the coronavirus has arrived as the city is still
struggling to revive from its devastating spring, when it was a global epicenter
of the pandemic. The shutdown was prompted by the city’s reaching a 3 percent
test positivity rate over a seven-day rolling average, the most conservative
threshold of any big school district in the country. Schools in the nation’s
largest system, with 1.1 million students and 1,800 schools, have been open for
in-person instruction for just under eight weeks.
It was a major disappointment for Mayor Bill de Blasio, who was the first
big-city mayor in the country to reopen school buildings. Moving to
all-remote instruction will disrupt the education of many of the roughly
300,000 children who have been attending in-person classes and create child care
problems for parents who count on their children being at school for at least
part of the week.

Fading From View?
Employees Question If Workplace Issues Corrected
Many former employees never contacted by lawyers
NY Times:
Second Epstein Investigation Begins at Victoria’s Secret,
but What’s Changed?
An
internal review started after Jeffrey Epstein’s ties to the company were
revealed has not produced any public findings. Some employees question
whether workplace issues have been properly addressed.
It has been more than a year since L Brands, the owner of Victoria’s Secret,
said it was hiring a law firm to investigate its billionaire founder Leslie H.
Wexner’s
close ties to the convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, but no findings
have been made public and the review has seemed to fade from view.
Maybe a new law firm will fare better.
After Mr. Epstein’s July 2019 arrest, revelations about his sweeping power
over the retail magnate’s fortune and how he may have used his link to the
lingerie giant to prey on women prompted the company to swiftly declare that it
had hired lawyers to conduct a “thorough review” of the matter.
The company enlisted Davis Polk & Wardwell, the white-shoe law firm
that it had relied on for legal counsel for years, and that once employed
Mr. Wexner’s wife, Abigail. But nothing about the scope of the investigation has
been released since, and many former Victoria’s Secret employees, including two
who had interacted with Mr. Epstein, said they were never contacted by
lawyers.

Sensormatic Solutions Newest SuperTag 4 Helps Retailers Maximize Sales, Reduce
Shrink
Unique tag design and SMaaS integration
offer next generation protection for high-value merchandise
Johnson
Controls, the global leader for smart and sustainable buildings, today
announced that
Sensormatic Solutions, its leading global retail solutions portfolio,
unveiled its next generation, best-in-class SuperTag - the SuperTag 4. With its
unique design, SuperTag 4 offers retailers the highest level of anti-theft
protection to date, and it is now commercially available for purchase.
“In the new retail reality, shrink is expected to rise due to economic
conditions impacting loss,” said Craig Szklany, vice president, global solutions
management, Sensormatic Solutions. “Our SuperTag 4 is uniquely designed to give
retailers powerful, business critical insights to help reduce both internal and
external shrink. With integrated technology built-in the products, we’re
ensuring that our customer’s merchandise is more protected than ever before.”
SuperTag 4 features new patented technology that incorporates the highest level
of defeat resistance thus far. Available with or without RFID technology, the
SuperTag 4 proves highly effective when attached to apparel targeted by
Organized Retail Crime (ORC) rings.
To obtain the greatest level of hard tag protection, SuperTag 4 is complemented
by its own line of unique SuperTag 4 detachers. These power detachers can also
be integrated with the
Sensormatic Shrink Management as a Service analytics platform, allowing
retailers to better understand detaching data, including insight into possible
internal theft, associate training gaps and detaching activity.
As
the product line expands, a dual-tech (AM /RFID) SuperTag 4 as well as an
InFuzion SuperTag 4 (one-piece integrated pin) version will become available.
The dual-tech SuperTag 4 combines the benefits of both inventory intelligence
and loss prevention, while the InFuzion technology offers retailers overall time
and labor savings associated with hard tag attachment and removal. Both upcoming
new hard tags will help retailers boost operational efficiencies.
Other future capabilities for the SuperTag 4 family will include integration
into a retailers’ self-checkout solution, making the removal of the hard tag by
a customer easy while still maintaining loss prevention measures in this
high-risk area.

Europol EC3/Cybercrime Centre
Malicious Uses and Abuses of Artificial Intelligence
- Trend Micro Research
- United Nations Interregional Crime & Justice Research Institute (UNICRI)
- Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3)
New report finds criminals leverage AI for malicious use
–
& it’s not just deep fakes
Europol, UNICRI and Trend Micro uncover current and future threats of AI
and how to combat them
A
jointly developed new report by Europol, the United Nations Interregional Crime
and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) and Trend Micro looking into current and
predicted criminal uses of artificial intelligence (AI) was released today. The
report provides law enforcers, policymakers and other organizations with
information on existing and potential attacks leveraging AI and recommendations
on how to mitigate these risks.
Read the full report:
Malicious Uses and Abuses of Artificial Intelligence.
“AI promises the world greater efficiency, automation and autonomy. At a time
where the public is getting increasingly concerned about the possible misuse of
AI, we have to be transparent about the threats, but also look into the
potential benefits from AI technology.” said Edvardas Šileris, Head of Europol’s
European Cybercrime Centre. “This report will help us not only to anticipate
possible malicious uses and abuses of AI, but also to prevent and mitigate those
threats proactively. This is how we can unlock the potential AI holds and
benefit from the positive use of AI systems.”
The report concludes that cybercriminals will leverage AI both as an attack
vector and an attack surface. Deep fakes are currently the best-known use of AI
as an attack vector. However, the report warns that new screening technology
will be needed in the future to mitigate the risk of disinformation campaigns
and extortion, as well as threats that target AI data sets.
The three organisations make several recommendations to conclude the report:
●
harness the potential of AI technology as a crime-fighting tool to
future-proof the cybersecurity industry and policing;
●
continue research to stimulate the development of defensive technology;
●
promote and develop secure AI design frameworks;
●
de-escalate politically loaded rhetoric on the use of AI for
cybersecurity purposes;
●
leverage public-private partnerships and establish multidisciplinary
expert groups;

Cybersecurity Leadership: '2020 Has Been the Perfect Storm'
CEOs and CISOs on the New Challenges to
Securing Data
With COVID-19 as a backdrop and 5G on the horizon, what will be 2021's top
issues in identifying, protecting and defending against attacks across a
dramatically expanded threat landscape? This latest CEO/CISO panel addresses the
challenges of the new year.
Participating in this latest panel discussion are:
CEOs: Mahmoud Abdelkader, VeryGoodSecurity, &
Anup Ghosh, Fidelis
Cybersecurity.
CISOs: Joey Johnson, Premise Health, &
Rebecca Wynn, [24]7.ai
In this Cybersecurity Leadership panel discussion hosted by Information Security
Media Group and CyberTheory, these CEOs and CISOs discuss:
●
How 5G changes the game;
● Emerging technologies - and vulnerabilities;
● The new degree of difficulty for third-party risk management.
govinfosecurity.com
CISOs say a distributed workforce has critically increased security concerns
73% of security and IT executives are concerned about new vulnerabilities and
risks introduced by the distributed workforce, Skybox Security reveals. The
report also uncovered an alarming disconnect between confidence in security
posture and increased cyberattacks during the global pandemic.
Digital transformation creating the perfect storm
To protect employees from COVID-19, enterprises rapidly shifted to make work
from home possible and maintain business productivity. Forced to accelerate
digital transformation initiatives, this created the perfect storm. 2020 will be
a record-breaking year for new vulnerabilities with a 34% increase
year-over-year – a leading indicator for the growth of future attacks.
As a result, security teams now have more to protect than ever before. Surveying
295 global executives, the report found that organizations are overconfident in
their security posture, and new strategies are needed to secure a long-term
distributed workforce.

Microsoft Warns of Office 365 Phishing Attacks
Microsoft's Security Intelligence team is warning users of the Office 365 suite
about an ongoing phishing campaign that appears to be harvesting victims'
credentials.
The phishing emails, which are still circulating, use several techniques to
bypass and evade secure email gateways, according to Microsoft's analysis. The
fraudsters use social engineering techniques and timely subject lines as a way
to lure victims into clicking the emails and inputting their credentials, which
are then harvested.
"The campaign uses timely lures relevant to remote work, like password
updates, conferencing info and helpdesk tickets," according to the report.
The evasion techniques, combined with heavy obfuscation of the malicious
messages within the HTML code, are helping to make this phishing campaign
difficult to detect.

Pot on the Black Market
Medical marijuana grow licences exploited by criminals to sell weed on the
illegal market, police say
A
lack of oversight into who is growing medical cannabis and how much is being
grown is allowing
criminals to sell pot on the illegal market,
according to police and pot activists.
That's creating tension in residential neighbourhoods in Winnipeg where large
amounts of plants are being grown and with medical marijuana users who say it's
not fair the laws meant to help people who need pot are being exploited for
financial gain.
"The lack of oversight
by Health Canada has allowed the system to be manipulated
and abused by people who are only in it for their own personal benefit," said
cannabis activist and medical licence holder Steven Stairs.
He said when cannabis became legal in Canada two years ago, the OPP created a
dedicated unit to crack down
on the illegal market
and police continue to encounter criminals using Health Canada licences.
"We've known for a number of years and had seen this regime
abused by criminals, organized
crime, criminal enterprises
… and we continue to see
organized crime exploit that," said Walker.

Spotting Fake IDs at Dispensaries
How Cannabis Dispensaries Can Avoid Accepting a Fake ID
Businesses who provide regulated products like cannabis are at risk of facing
legal consequences because of a fake ID.
Hackers, fraudsters and
scammers
evolve at nearly the same rate
as technology; because of this, web and physical business entities should
periodically update their security procedures.
How
To Check Identification
In all legalized states,
dispensaries are obligated to
confirm customers are 21 or older.
Customers under 21 may only
enter if they are authorized medical patients according to state requirements.
IDs are driver’s licenses, passports, etc as long as it is government issued and
includes a photo. Failing to enforce this law can incur hefty fines, revocation
of your license to sell and even jail time. Your establishment may get some
leeway if the customer’s fake ID was realistic. However,
you must be able to show you
took precautions.
Identifying a Fake ID
Looking may not be enough since fraudulent manufacturers constantly improve
their methods of replication. This makes it crucial to study legitimate IDs.
Identification Systems Group came up with a useful acronym:
F.L.A.G. Feel, look, ask, give
(back to the person or authorities).

In addition, more than one in three longer-term CBD users (an estimated 13.4
million adults) tried at least one new product format during this time.
The research was run in September and October 2020 by surveying over 35,000
adults living in 50 states. The resulting data enables a deep drill down into
the lifestyles, attitudes, and usage habits of nearly 4,000 former CBD users,
4,200 current users, and 13,500 adults who have not yet used CBD but expressed
an interest in trying it.
Who are the “COVID
Commencers”?
The market newcomers have a distinct demographic profile. Largely because men
are more likely to have been early adopters of CBD,
the newcomers to the market
are more likely to be women, especially those who are retired.
Amongst the adults who only started to use CBD in the last 6 months, men have a
far broader product repertoire than women. Some 31% of male newcomers bought
into 10 or more different format types compared to just 10% of the female
newcomers.

Illinois cannabis sales have soared during pandemic
Amid a global pandemic and ensuing economic slowdown, cannabis businesses remain
a rare bright spot in the Illinois economy, raking in millions of dollars and
tax revenue.
It is in large part
thanks to a designation that kept dispensaries and cultivation centers open
under Gov. J.B. Pritzker's months-long stay-at-home order.
The decision put purchasing marijuana on the same level as going to pharmacy,
filling up the gas tank or using any other service of a designated “essential
business.”

Managing Payment Fraud During A Pandemic: 5 minutes
with Omri Kletter
How is the current
COVID-19 pandemic affecting fraud levels, and what can firms do to protect their
employees and customers? Below, we talk to
Omri Kletter, VP, Cyber Crime
and Fraud Management at Bottomline,
about best practices for managing risk and cyber threats in the payments process
more broadly.
Security
magazine: How is the current pandemic affecting fraud levels?
Kletter:
It’s quite critical to
identify all of the avenues of fraud — each of which has
accelerated in the age
of pandemic.
There’s first-party
fraud — those situations where the
“customer” is the
fraudster.
For example, an
individual or entity filing fraudulent loan applications through the PPP
program. There’s third-party fraud — where
the customer is the
victim. One bank
customer of ours had a hospital client duped in to changing how one “doctor” was
paid, directing funds to a prepaid card versus payroll deposit, via seemingly
legitimate email. Finally, there’s internal-fraud — where an
employee becomes
partner in bad-acting.
What
are some best practices for managing risk and cyber threats in the payments
process?
Kletter:
Best practice is driven through a
much more balanced
approach to covering the whole fraud and financial crime landscape.
I think of it in terms of stop, act, reflect. First, consider those forms of
fraud we discussed — first-party, third-party and insider. Consider all of the
junction points of transaction across each of those for a more whole picture of
crime across the lifecycle. Communicate across forms and junctions and
continually pivot based on intelligence.
What are your expectations around payments fraud for the rest of the year,
including new threats and technologies to combat them?
Kletter: First,
there’s data. We must continue together making data more accessible. The focus
there is on consumability — making the data more consumable. This includes the
structure of data and the opportunity of data scientists to do more with it,
faster. Second on the technology front, we’ll continue to see more use of
machine learning — and increasingly combined with artificial intelligence. These
technologies, which were once considered “experimental”, will become more
accessible across the financial industry, even for smaller financial
institutions and corporates. The third expectation I have is that we’ll see some
truly disruptive change on the investigations front.
How we investigate, the speed with which we investigate will see
transformational change.
We’ll be working to reduce 8-minute investigations to 3-minute investigations,
optimizing costs and accelerating efficiencies as teams look across the entire
payment lifecycle.

Passwords - Databases - Personal Data =
Lost Sales
New Research Reveals Consumer Frustrations with Online Retail
According to the FIDO Alliance’s survey password frustrations are leading to
abandoned carts and lost sales. 58% in the U.S. have abandoned purchases due to
the difficulty of managing passwords.
The research also identified several reasons for potential loss of repeat
business, as multiple factors stop people from setting up new accounts after
making an initial purchase. Their chief concern, cited by 40% of customers,
is that they don’t want their financial information to be stored on retailers’
databases. Having to enter billing and personal data (34%) was another
reason, and passwords were again a source of frustration with 28% stating
that having to set up and remember a new password would stop them from
opening an account.

Madison, WI: Man arrested after attempting to shoplift thousands of dollars’
worth of merchandise from Home Depot
A
34-year-old man was arrested Tuesday night after reportedly shoplifting at the
Home Depot on East Springs Drive. According to an incident report, a Home Depot
employee became concerned for her safety after confronting Dustin L. Tiedeman.
The report said the employee told police Tiedeman was placing thousands of
dollars’ worth of merchandise inside garbage cans that he had loaded on a cart.
Officials said the employee asked if he needed help, but Tiedeman told her that
he did not. He then reportedly turned so she could see he had a handgun
holstered to his waist. When police arrived, Tiedeman attempted to leave the
store, leaving the cart behind. Police said he had other stolen merchandise
on himself and was in possession of six knives. The holstered weapon also turned
out to be a BB gun, according to the report. Tiedeman was arrested on
suspicion of disorderly conduct while armed, felony retail theft and felony bail
jumping.

Grant County, WA: Sheriff’s Deputy shot in foot through patrol car during chase
of C-Store and Gas Station Armed Robber
A Grant County Sheriff’s Deputy was shot in the foot late Tuesday during a car
chase with a suspect in multiple armed robberies in Moses Lake. There were
multiple shots fired in downtown Ephrata on Tuesday night as a result of a
police pursuit, said Kyle Foreman, a sheriff’s office spokesperson, in a video
posted to the Grant County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. The incident started
just after 2 p.m., when a man later identified as Jesus Torres, 24, walked into
a small food store in Moses Lake, picked out a few items and paid in cash, said
Capt. Mike Williams from the Moses Lake Police Department. When the cashier
opened the cash register, Torres allegedly pulled out a gun and demanded money
from the employee, Williams said. After grabbing the cash, Torres ran off,
Williams said. Just a few minutes later, police received reports of similar
incident at a gas station just eight blocks away, Williams said.

Lafayette, IN: Tenn gets 2nd chance after Tippecanoe Mall shooting, sentenced to
20 years in Juvenile Prison
The 17 year old was found guilty of attempted murder for last December's
shooting at the Tippecanoe Mall will spend 20 years in the Department of
Corrections. However, Judge Sean Persin added a caveat to the sentencing to
give Iyon Erves a rare second chance by sending him to juvenile prison and not
adult prison. Judge Persin found Erves guilty on six of his eight charges,
including attempted murder, after a bench trial in July. No one was hit by
the 3 shots fired that day by Erves. The sentencing hearing was pushed back
four times. Judge Persin acknowledged the importance if getting the sentencing
hearing in before Erves turns 18 on December 14th. About 30 people showed up in
support of Erves, five were witnesses the defense called on for character
testimony. If Eves complies with his sentence regulation, he could be released
in a few years.

Lenoir City, TN: Shoplifting attempt leads to I-75 chase
Lenoir City Police responded to a theft at a gas station on U.S. Highway 321. An
employee said Mikaylah Alyssa Grigsby, 20, and Lacey Jade Sides-Cook, 24, were
attempting to steal items when he and a fellow employee asked the women to
leave. The employees told Lee the women became aggressive when they were caught
putting items in their purses. They then began throwing the items at the
employees and refused to leave. Sides-Cook ignored the commands of the Officer
to stop the vehicle and quickly left the gas station. Sides-Cook didn’t pull

a guardrail and finally stopped at the Exit 76 ramp, according to a report.

Lafayette, LA: Charges dropped against Shoe Store owner arrested for Arson
Charges have been dropped against a Lafayette business owner who was arrested
and charged with arson following a fire at his downtown shoe store. In 2018,
David Leblanc was charged with arson with intent to defraud after a fire that
originated in the stock room of Greenwood shoes on Jefferson Street, caused
heavy interior damage. An investigation led officials to believe that the fire
had been intentionally set and Leblanc was arrested and booked into the
Lafayette Parish Correctional Center. On Monday, 15th Judicial District Court
Judge Edward Rubin dismissed the case without prejudice.

The "rumor mill" is a very treacherous and unforgiving world of fact and fiction
that at times is filled with innuendos, accusations, untruths, and whatever gets
added to the information being talked about regarding companies and people.
Participating in it is human nature and we all know third-party information
leaves a lot to be desired. So the rule of thumb should be to be cautious about
believing, try not to form an opinion until you've heard both sides, understand
the agendas that everyone has, and most importantly be careful about what you
say.
Just a Thought, Gus
