CLAY WALLER 'THREATENED TO KILL ME' PAL SAYS

KILLER?

VANISHED

MISSING mom of triplets Jacque Sue Waller's husband, Clay threatened to kill his former friend, cops say. 
Gary Hill told cops the man described by them as 'a person of interest' in his wife's disappearance has been jailed and will face court on harassment charges later this month.
Probable-cause statements say Waller accepted a check for $55,000 from the Delta Cos. in April 2010 for work he never did -- money used to pay other expenses for his construction business.
Waller has denied any involvement in his wife's disappearance and no charges have been filed against him, although her family maintain he must have had something to do with it as we reported here.
Investigator's found the 39-year-old mother of young triplets' pickup truck abandoned about three miles from her estranged husband's home. 
Her business cards were later found along a separate state highway about eight miles from where her car was recovered.  
Clay Waller is said to have told investigators that his wife walked away from his home in Jackson, MO, on June 1 after the two quarreled following a divorce hearing that same day. 
Waller's lawyer, Scott Reynolds accused police of arresting Waller so they could question him about Jacque Waller. Police, however, said they couldn't discuss the nature of the questioning.
He told the South East Missourian that his client would plead not guilty to the stealing and harassment charges.
Anyone with information on Jacque Sue Waller is urged to call the Jackson Police Department at 573-243-3151.

JEOPARDY FOR BURGLAR CHASED ALEX TREBEK

TREBEK

IT was double jeopardy for both a hotel burglar and game show host Alex Trebek, Wednesday when the game show host chased down a burglar, but ruptured his Achilles tendon in the process. 
The 71-year-old, who has presented 'Jeopardy' for over 25-years said he and his wife were sleeping when the thief broke into his San Francisco room and made off with cash, a bracelet and other valuables.   
Later as he hosted the National Geographic World Championship at Google headquarters in Mountain View he told the crowd: "At 2:30 yesterday morning, chasing a burglar down the hall. My Achilles tendon ruptured and I fell in an ignominious heap to the carpeting, bruising my other leg in the process."
San Francisco police Lt. Troy Dangerfield says 56-year-old old Lucinda Moyers was caught by a security guard at the hotel and arrested on suspicion of felony burglary and receiving stolen property.

Among the items stolen was one with sentimental value - a bracelet.
According to his mom, she gave her son the bracelet 20 years ago and he's been wearing it on the show every day since.
The cash and bracelet haven't been found but other items were recovered.
Dangerfield says officers found several items near the hotel ice machine.
Trebek is scheduled for surgery on Friday and is expected to be in a cast for six weeks.

IDIOT TRAVIS WARD STOLE AMBULANCE AT FIRE SCENE

DUMMY

DEFINITELY one for the "Dear Stupid" file. 
This is dumbass Travis Ward who tried to steal an ambulance which parked outside the scene of a raging house fire. 
The 28-year-old idiot, told cops he was unsuprisingly high on pot at the time, when he spotted the unsupervised vehicle, which had been left running to keep it cool for anyone seeking help. 
So the idiot decided to take it. 
He got a whole two blocks, smashing into powers poles and walls during his joyride, before eventually coming to a halt.
Fortunately the ambulance wasn't needed during the blaze which started around 4am on Sunday morning at a house in Phoenix, AZ.   
Homeowner Edward Huth told KSAZ: "I heard a pop, crack in the back of the house. Some gentleman come and bang on the door said, "Get out. Get out. You’re on fire."
Flames were shooting out of his attic, and smoke filled the home, but he couldn't get his family out because the key to the security door was nowhere to be found.
But in an extraordinary act of heroism the stranger smashed through a window, ripping his hands to shreds, to get the family out.  
“We said, ‘Thank you, and God bless you,’” Huth added.At that point the ambulance crew at that point became victims themselves.

NO ESCAPE FOR RONALD TACKMAN THIS TIME

HOUDINI

A MASTER of disguise who used fake noses and a carved soap gun to pull off robberies and once infamously walked out of a court after convincing prison officers he was a defense attorney, could not escape justice this time.
Houdini like thief, Ronald Tackman, 57, used all sorts of ploys including dressing up as cowboy and a cigarette lighter that looked like a gun to carry out numerous heists in New York.
Then when he was due to stand trial in 2009, wearing a three piece suit and simply strolled out of the building after convincing prison officers he was a defense attorney.
He pulled black socks over his prison issue canvas shoes to help his charade.      
It was just another disguise for Tackman, who once carved a fake gun out of a bar of soap, which he used to hold up a correctional bus, releasing several prisoners in the process. 
On another occasion while he was behind bars, Tackman built a double-barreled "zip gun" out of two soda cans and homemade gunpowder, using barbecue charcoal, his lawyer, Joseph Heinzmann, said. According to Heinzmann, Tackman intended to use the first barrel as a warning shot and the second as a threat but was foiled when both barrels discharged on the first shot.
At sentencing Thursday, Assistant District Attorney Charles Whitt told the court that there were two Ronald Tackmans: the amiable, intelligent man who "could talk his way out of almost any situation," and a "devious, conniving, manipulative" robber and thief.
He added: "He is a man who has spent his entire adult life committing crimes, and there is no indication that if he ever got out of prison, he would do anything else but commit more crimes."
The judge seemed to agree, sentencing his to a maximum of life behind bars. 

LINDSAY LOHAN 'ENJOYED' HOUSE ARREST

ENJOYED HERSELF

FORMER actress Lindsay Lohan "enjoyed" being under house arrest because it kept her out of the public eye she said. The troubled party girl, who has astonishingly managed to keep her hands clean since her release said she was grateful as her cushy sentence gave her a chance to stay out of the limelight.
She spent a massive 35 days confined to her Santa Monica home monitored by ankle bracelet, instead of receiving jail time for stealing a $2500 necklace from an upmarket LA Jewelry store and violating the terms of her 2007 conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) last month.
Speaking of her celebrity justice she told Australia's 2DayFM radio station: "I enjoyed it, actually, as I was able to get a lot of work done from home, and it was very nice not to have to worry about cameras being outside."
She also claimed when her ankle bracelet went off during her house arrest it was because of a false alarm.

She explained: "It was actually the people who work with the ankle braces [fault]. The battery had died in the machine, It was a lot of drama for no reason."
Since her release the Mean Girls star has also  started her court ordered 480 hours of community service at the Los Angeles Downtown Women's centre.
And amazingly she cancelled a planned 25th birthday bash, just after her release, choosing instead to spend it with friends and family. 
Lohan is also hoping to continue her acting career and has signed up to appear in 'Gotti: Three Generations', which is due to start shooting next year.
