Murderers, rapists, public officials...oh, my

Just about when I think it's time for NOcrimeline to report "over and out" because it seems like crime's been busted in the French Quarter and the populace has become complacent, here comes reports of a murderer and rapist running loose, and a public official running over a citizen.

Murderer on the run: I don't know about you, but if there's a murderer out there running loose in the French Quarter, I'd like to know about it.

It seems the police developed a lead rather quickly on a suspect in the murder of a German tourist from Florida whose decomposed corpse had been found in the bushes in Armstrong Park on 8.11.11. Her neck had been slashed with a knife and police believe it happened 8.7.11 after she was last seen holding a suitcase on the corner of Toulouse and N. Rampart streets around 10:30 p.m., then reportedly met her attacker while having a drink in a bar there. An eyewitness reported seeing them walking later on Basin Street, near where her body was found in the park.

Based on a tip, an 8th District officer patrolling near Toulouse and N. Rampart a couple of days later saw a black man who resembled the earlier description. When he attempted to stop the suspect, the man pulled a gun from his waistband and pointed it at the officer. As he ran from the officer, he stumbled and fell, dropping what turned out to be a pellet gun, before continuing to run down N. Rampart toward Armstrong Park where back-up officers apprehended him at St. Ann Street.

Talk about returning to the scene of the crime. Officers charged Tomarcus Porter, 23, with aggravated assault and booked him into Central Lock-Up on 8.13.11. He was there under a $15,000 bond when a tip to police identified Porter, a registered sex offender from Arkansas, as a suspect and DNA from under the victim's fingernails matched Porter's. He was booked on 8.26.11 with second-degree murder and is now being held on $500,000 bond.

Homicide Det. Brandon Ludwig--a former 8th District patrolman--is credited with solving the case. But, hey detective, next time there's a murderer in our midst and you've got a clue as to what he looks like, how about having the NOPD alert us. We might be able to help you spot him--or at least protect ourselves from him.

Rapist snared by science: You might say Anthony J. Montecino Jr., 32, is a victim of modern science and technology.

First, a video surveillance camera caught him--or someone who looked an awfully lot like him--robbing an older gentleman walking on Canal Street near the Ritz-Carlton on 4.14.11. Three days later, 8th District Det. Michael Flores, after viewing the video, busted Montecino for simple robbery.

While Montecino was languishing in OPP on $15,000 bond, the NOPD (under Criminal Investigations Division Cmdr. Paul Noel, another 8th District alumnus) finally got funding to test a backlog of rape kits. It wasn't long before Cmdr. Noel had his first hit: Montecino.

DNA linked him to a rape in August of last year near N. Broad and Iberville streets, and to one in February of this year at the Roosevelt Hotel.

Montecino was indicted 8.25.11 on one count of aggravated rape and one of forcible rape. That upped his bond to $2 million.

And, Montecino, who is no stranger to crime, is believed to be the same Anthony Montecino who was arrested in April last year as an accessory after the fact to second-degree murder of a LaPlace crack whore in 2008 whose body was torched in a vacant lot.

How he got out of jail on a $210,000 bond for that is known only to St. John The Baptist Parish officials.

Some emergency: The Jefferson Parish emergency management director must has forgotten he was in New Orleans and not Metairie.

In a dispute over a parking place in front of 1215 Decatur St. on 8.14.11 around noon, Raphael G. "Ray" Meyers Sr. insisted on pulling into the space Kim Perilloux was standing in to save for her husband.

Perilloux, who owns a store on that block, refused to budge; Meyers refused to stop backing into the space. According to the police report, the car's right rear tire rolled over Perilloux's foot. Perilloux went to the hospital; Meyers went to jail for aggravated battery.

Meyers couldn't say he wasn't treated well like a visiting dignitary.

Magistrate Harry Cantrell gave him a "Get Out of Jail Free" card that sprung him from Central Lock-Up on his own recognizance rather than making him post a $5,000 bond.

8th District Cmdr. Jeffrey Walls tried covering up the incident the best he could. Though he released written reports of 2 other aggravated battery cases that Sunday in the French Quarter, there was no report published on Meyers' mishap.

Root of Canal's woes: Another gang of teenagers who seem to be candidates for retroactive abortions staged another episode of terror on Canal Street on a recent Friday afternoon.

According to one eyewitness, as many as 100 kids were milling about near McDonald's in the 900 block about 4:30 p.m. on 8.26.11. Sensing they were up to no good, he called the NOPD. Officers arrived, dispersed the crowd, and left.

No sooner had the cops left the scene than 3 young black punks in a late-model gold-colored Mercedes-Benz SUV rounded the corner around 5 p.m. and blasted 5 gunshots into those who lingered.

They wounded a 17-year-old boy--who was not the intended target--in the leg; he was taken to the hospital in stable condition. Not long after, the Mercedes was found at Leonides and Eagle streets engulfed in flames.

Ordinary every-day crimes: Not all crimes in the French Quarter lately have been so dramatic--unless you were the victim:

• Sunday (8.21.11) 11:15 p.m.: A 48-year-old white man walking near near Burgundy Street and Esplanade Avenue was accosted by another white guy who demanded his money. Even after he complied, the robber struck him and fled on foot.

The robber was described as 25 to 35 years old, with sandy brown hair, wearing a Hawaiian shirt and khaki shorts.

• Monday (8.22.11) 9 a.m.: A 42-year-old white woman walking on St. Louis Street near N. Rampart Street when her purse was snatched by 2 men.

One of the suspects was black with a light complexion, and the other was Hispanic.

• Friday (8.26.11) 12:09 a.m.: A 28-year-old black woman was walking near Dauphine and Frenchmen streets when her purse was snatched by a white guy who fled on Dauphine toward Elysian Fields Avenue.

He was described as 6'1" tall, with a muscular build, bald, wearing green shorts and no shirt.

• Friday (8.26.11) 11:30 p.m.: A 33-year-old white man walking on Burgundy near Esplanade was hit in the head and knocked unconscious by an assailant he didn't see. When he awoke his wallet was missing.

Say, didn't this just happen the Sunday before at the same place at about the same time?

• Saturday (8.27.11) 2:40 a.m.: A 23-year-old black man standing near Dauphine and St. Louis streets got into an argument with another black dude who pulled a knife and threatened him.

The suspect was described as 5'10" tall, weighing 170 pounds, with short salt-and-pepper hair.

• Saturday (8.27.11) 5:05 a.m.: Louis Robinson, 23--who apparently couldn't leave well-enough alone--was arrested less than 5 hours after he was let out of OPP after Judge Karen Herman gave him a 3-year suspended sentence when he pled guilty to battery.

Back in drag and back in the French Quarter, Robinson allegedly snatched the purse of a 48-year-old Florida woman on Bourbon Street.

Cops nabbed him as he fled on Dumaine Street and charged him with pursesnatching. He is in OPP on $35,000 bond.

• Wednesday (8.31.11) 12:15 a.m.: A black dude got into an argument with a 27-year-old stripper in Little Darlings, 411 Bourbon St., and grabbed her tip bag from her hand and ran off.

Police issued an arrest warrant for Renard DeCarlos, 40, but gave no description of him.

As always, your comments and suggestions are welcome at NOcrimeline@gmail.com

C'mon, Mitch

Fill us in on the details: Mayor Mitch Landrieu was so worked up 3 months ago about NOPD officers working paid details that he rushed in to ruin the reputations of a number of honorable cops.

And he demanded that Police Chief Ronal Serpas have a plan on his desk within 10 days to remedy a long-performed practice that Landrieu called "incredibly troubling and dysfunctional."

Serpas, who had been working on reforming the detail system for months, had a polished and professional report to the mayor on time.

But since then? It's been 3 months and nothing's been heard from Mayor Mitch on the reforms suggested in the report on the situation he found so onerous. If it was so bad back then, why's it getting such short shrift now?

Details haven't gone away--in fact, NOPD officers perform nearly 6,000 per month. So who's managing them? Where's the money going?

C'mon, Mitch--don't go Nagin on us. It's in your court--do something to make it better if that's what you care so much about.

Bar Wars: Unless you've been hanging out in bar rooms the past few weeks, you've avoided most of the crime going around. But in the bar rooms? Boy, oh boy:

• Saturday (8.6.11) 7:35 a.m.: An armed, hooded hoodlum rushed into Iggy's Bar, 1943 N. Rampart St. in the Marigny Triangle, and ordered everyone to the back of the bar while he took cash from the register and demanded the bartender give him the black bag with the video poker money. He got mad when the caper was not unfolding as fast as he thought it should and grabbed the video surveillance monitor before fleeing into a gold-colored Dodge Intrepid with chrome rims and damage to the front driver's side fender.

Caught on video, the robber is described as a black man, in his 20's, 6'1" tall, with a slim build, wearing a green Philadelphia Eagles sweatshirt.

• Sunday (8.7.11) 4:40 a.m.: A 35-year-old white chick who'd been previously 86'd from The Maison, 508 Frenchmen St., was found inside and escorted out by a bouncer. She took umbrage, fighting the bouncer and allegedly braking off a beer bottle and slashing the bouncer with it, inflicting a 1" laceration on his arm.

Officers arriving on the scene arrested Eva Marrroquin and charged her with aggravated battery and simple battery. She posted $22,500 bond the next day to get out of OPP.

• Monday (8.8.11) 10:40 p.m.: When a bartender saw a white dude grab 2 bottles of liquor from behind a closed bar at Krazy Korner at Bourbon and St. Peter streets he gave chase down St. Peter Street. When he caught up with the culprit, the thief smashed one of the bottles across his head, opening a 2" laceration.

Bouncers held the suspect until police arrived. They arrested Robert Alston, 45, and charged him with aggravated battery and theft. He is being held on $25,000 bond in OPP.

• Sunday (8.14.11) 2:30 a.m.: When a 22-year-old black guy got into a beef with a buddy in a bar near 200 Iberville Street he left to avoid further trouble. As he neared a parking lot close by, his buddy caught up with him and shot him in the lower right leg.

Police issued an arrest warrant for Raneldo Nicholson, 24, and apprehended him 3 days later. He is charged with aggravated battery and is being held on $200,000 bond in OPP.

In the streets: Not all the action was in the bar rooms. Out on the streets:

• Wednesday (8.3.11) 11:18 p.m.: The thinking of a white man in his 50's who got busted in the head must have been severely impaired. Supposedly the incident happened on Toulouse Street near Chartres Street on Aug. 3, but he didn't report it to the NOPD until Aug. 7. A detective tried calling the victim, who lives in Baton Rouge, several times Aug. 8 to begin an investigation. On Aug. 9, the victim who still hadn't called the detective back, emailed Mayor Landrieu demanding an investigation. The detective finally was able to reach him later in the day--almost a full week after the incident happened.

8th District detectives did manage to track down surveillance video that shows the victim being attacked from behind by a white dude and hit in the head several times with an unknown object.

The assailant took the man's iPhone, his driver's license, and cash before fleeing on foot on Toulouse toward Chartres. He was said to be wearing dark-colored pants or jeans, a blue or black and white striped polo shirt and white tennis shoes.

• Thursday (8.11.11) 11:00 p.m.: A woman was walking with a black guy on N. Rampart Street near Conti Street when he suddenly tried to take her purse. A struggle ensued and she fell to the ground and the robber made off with her purse.

Police scoured the area and soon found Albert Bryant, 46, who was positively identified by the victim, and charged him with pursesnatching. He is in OPP on $20,000 bond.

• Saturday (8.13.11) 8:35 p.m.: An 8th District officer tried to stop a 23-year-old black dude at N. Rampart and Conti streets when the suspect took off running. He pulled out a black-colored pistol and pointed it at the officer.

After a brief chase, the miscreant was apprehended; the pistol turned out to be a BB gun. Tomarcus Porter was charged with aggravated assault. He is being held in OPP on $15,000 bond.

• Sunday (8.14.11) 2:50 a.m.: A 21-year-old black man walking toward Canal Street on N. Rampart Street between (Iberville and Bienville streets) was attacked by a black thug who pushed him to the ground and stabbed him in the lower back with a knife. The victim was taken to LSU Interim Public Hospital for treatment.

The assailant, who fled toward the Iberville Housing Project, was described as in his 30's, 5'9" tall, with a stocky build, wearing a white T-shirt and blue jeans.

• Monday (8.15.11) 12:52 a.m.: After an automobile collision at S. Peters Street and Andrew Higgins Drive, the drivers got out of their cars and began exchanging words rather than insurance information. One of the drivers took out his cellphone and began videotaping the other driver. The driver grabbed the cellphone from the other driver and fled the scene.

An arrest warrant was issued for Andrew Dunbar, 40, a black man with a long arrest record. He was apprehended last Wednesday (8.17.11) and charged with simple robbery. He managed to post $25,000 bond and flee OPP before his mugshot was posted.

Teenage girls terrorize Canal Street: Black teenage girls--out early enough to avoid being nabbed for curfew violations--have been attacking other black girls along the fabled street:

• Sunday (8.7.11) 6:00 p.m.: A 17-year-old black girl who was walking with friends on Canal near Rampart Street when she was jumped by a trio of teenaged sisters. She was stabbed on her arm and in her right side by one of the girls.

Police rounded up Michelle Preston (pictured), 17, and her sisters (as reported by the Times-Picayune) Geroldmeka, 13, and Shanarinique, 15. The 13-year-old was charged as the cutter; the other 2 were charged with simple battery.

Michelle was originally held on $10,000 bond, but Magistrate Jonathan P. Friedman reduced it to $5,000 and she was able to bail out last Tuesday (8.16.11).

• Friday (8.19.11) 7:15 p.m.: A 15-year-old black girl was walking in the 400 block of Canal when she was attacked by a gang of black girls. One of them grabbed her cellphone and the whole gang fled on Canal toward Rampart Street.

The thief was described as 15 to 16 years old, with curly dark hair and a light complexion.

• Saturday (8.20.11) 8:00 p.m.: A 19-year-old black girl was similarly confronted by a gang of black girls the next night while walking in the 500 block of Canal. One of the gangsters grabbed her cellphone and fled with her accomplices toward Rampart.

Police caught up with a 14-year-old black chick and charged her with the theft. Of course, since she is a juvenile they wouldn't release her name, for fear of damaging her young felonious persona. There was no indication if this miscreant was the same one from the Friday evening robbery.
