Man Facing 50 Felonies for Dropping Beer Bottles off Building

A 51-year-old Spain-born man is facing nearly 50 felony charges after allegedly throwing many glass beer bottles from a balcony on the 41st floor of a high-rise luxury condominium building on multiple occasions.

According to the website, The Club at Brickell Bay, a 43-story building containing 643 condominiums, offers “luxury waterfront living” in the Brickell district of Miami, Florida. While it is known for being one of the finest buildings in the area, at the beginning of August, an individual reportedly began committing illegal acts on the premises in a spree that lasted nearly 20 days. It was reported that the suspect had dropped many glass beer bottles while standing on a balcony near the top floor of the building. When the building management company and the authorities became aware of the incidents, they began piecing together details to try to locate the perpetrator.

The management company took several measures to put an end to the situation, including installing a net and several security cameras. It was learned that the incidents happened several times between August 1 and August 19, and the beer bottles were reportedly dropped from a balcony on the 41st floor. It was estimated that $140,000 of damage was done to the building. Upon further investigation, the authorities believed the suspect was one of the tenants.

by Staycie R. Sena

A man in Oregon is facing charges after allegedly stabbing his daughter’s boyfriend because he believed the man mistreated her.

On February 15, the 49-year-old father of a Lane County woman took a trip to visit his daughter in Springfield. The woman, who reportedly went through a domestic violence-related incident with her boyfriend a couple of weeks ago, gave her dad the key to her residence so he could hang out while she was at work. When she arrived at her apartment, her partner was there with her father.

According to reports, she saw the pair outside on the balcony, and their encounter appeared to be hostile. Her dad was presumably upset about the alleged incident that took place between the 27-year-old man and his daughter. Things reportedly escalated and turned violent, and the woman’s boyfriend was allegedly stabbed by her father. She reported that he lost so much blood that her apartment looked like a murder scene, and he was taken to McKenzie-Willamette Medical Center for medical treatment. It was reported that in addition to the stab wound, he had cuts on his face and arms, and two of his teeth were broken.

Verdict Reached in Female Teacher Accused of Sex with Student

by Staycie R. Sena

Thiel-214x300
A former culinary arts school teacher, Nichole Noel Thiel, was accused by her former student of having sex with him when he was 16 years old at her condominium in Idaho for a period lasting over two years. Thiel was 46 years old when the incidents allegedly took place.

The teen said it all started when he came across the teacher crying and upset and he gave her a hug. He said that she kissed him on the cheek and later he claimed she picked him up from his father’s home to take him back to her Coeur d’Alene home to have sex. He wouldn’t report the incident to his school counselor until the following year.

Thiel maintained her innocence throughout the investigation and trial. Due to the time that had passed, investigators were not able to find any physical evidence of the crime, so prosecutors were forced to rely almost entirely upon the testimony of witnesses. Throughout the trial, Thiel relied upon the support of her friends, colleagues, and family. From others, opinions of Thiel were harsh. Allegations of adults having sex with minors creates a sense of disgust, hysteria, and drives a “guilty-until-proven-innocent” rush to judgement from many in the community. Simply being arrested for a crime is often enough to convince people of guilt. Throughout the trial, criminal defense attorney Michael G. Palmer fought for Thiel’s innocence and realized she was faced with a teen who said that the sex happened and the only way to be acquitted was to somehow prove it didn’t.
