Man Busted For Spy-Cam In Women’s Restroom
An Elgin man who hid a spy camera in women’s bathroom at his workplace, but mostly recorded himself trying to figure out the device, is facing up to three years in prison after pleading guilty Wednesday to a felony charge. Miguel Bribiescas, 25, of the 1100 block of Hiawatha Drive, admitted to a charge of unauthorized video recording stemming from the July 31 discovery of the pen-size camera in a washroom at Ridgefield Industries, near Crystal Lake. The camera recorded one female co-worker using the washroom before it was discovered by an employee and turned over to police, authorities said. When police began viewing what else was on the camera, the first thing they saw was video of Bribiescas looking into the lens and learning how to operate the device. The charge to which he admitted guilt is a Class 4 felony, punishable by one to three years in prison or probation. Bribiescas’ attorney, Mary Baccam, said she believes probation would be fair given her client’s lack of criminal history. “He understands that this was inappropriate and he is taking responsibility for his actions,” Baccam said.
Bribiescas will remain free on a $1,000 bond until his sentencing Jan. 20.

Inmate Has ‘Shank’ Surgically Removed From His Rectum
An inmate at the Merced County Main Jail had a homemade knife surgically removed from his body cavity last month, according to Merced county Sheriff’s officials. He now faces concealed weapons charges. The inmate, 19-year-old Rance Johnson, approached corrections officials Nov. 18, complaining about an item stuck inside his rectum, causing pain, according to Deputy Tom MacKenzie. Even worse, Johnson told deputies the improvised weapon — known in jailhouse slang as a “shank or shiv” — had been inside his body for three weeks. He was taken to an emergency room in Modesto, and the 5-inch-long plastic shiv was surgically removed, MacKenzie said.
“The taxpayer money does cover actual stupidity; hence this guy did have to have this surgically removed,” said Sheriff Mark Pazin. “It’s unfortunate, but it’s a mandated surgery.” MacKenzie said Johnson told investigators he had no idea what the item was, that he’d found it in an interview room and tried smuggling the weapon by inserting it into his rectum. The item was wrapped inside tissue paper and placed in a sandwich bag before it was inserted, MacKenzie said. Johnson is being held at the jail on suspicion of shooting a 17-year-old male near Castle Airport in September. In addition to the concealed weapons charges, Johnson is facing an enhancement for allegedly committing a crime while participating in a criminal street gang.

Woman Head-Butts And Urinates On Wal-Mart Security Guard
Marilyn Cole, of Muskegon, faces trial on charges of stealing goods from a local Wal-Mart store, then head-butting and urinating on a security guard. Cole, 35, waived her probable-cause hearing on charges of unlawful imprisonment, unarmed robbery and interfering with a crime report. The hearing had been scheduled for Tuesday. Her alleged accomplice, Rashieka Stewart, 23, of Muskegon earlier waived her probable-cause hearing and faces trial on one count of unarmed robbery. According to Roosevelt Park Police Chief Bill Regan, the women tried to steal merchandise, including make-up and curtains, from the Henry Street Wal-Mart on Halloween night.
Regan said the women broke away from a security guard who tried to detain them at the front door. The security guard ran after them and tried to block Cole from getting into the passenger’s seat of the car in which she and Stewart were preparing to flee. Regan said Cole “head-butted” the security guard, who fell backwards into the vehicle. The chief said Cole then sat on the man. He grabbed his phone and called 911, but Cole allegedly fought for the phone and then urinated on him. Stewart drove away with the security guard still in the vehicle and Cole holding him down, according to the chief.
The incident ended when the women stopped in the parking lot of Acme Bedding Co., 660 W. Broadway, where authorities, still on the phone with the security guard, arrested Stewart and Cole.

Texas Hen Lays Egg With Cross On It
A Fort Worth-area couple said one of their hens laid an egg with a cross on the end of it. Pam and Tracy Norrell of Burleson, who displayed the odd-shaped egg, said they believe it’s a sign of encouragement during the holiday season. Tracy Norrell said he was gathering eggs Monday night when one he picked up seemed to be unusual, not smooth like other eggs. The misshapen egg has an indentation on one end with what appears to be a cross on it. The Norrells said eating the egg is not an option.
Burleson is about 10 miles south of Fort Worth.
