‘The Office’ Star Busted for Culver City DUI and Drug Possession

Actor Craig Robinson was arrested on June 29th this year for DUI in Culver City, California. Robinson, who is best known for his role as warehouse boss Darryl Philbin on NBC’s live action comedy, The Office, was charged with driving under the influence — not only of alcohol but also of an array of drugs, including marijuana and amphetamines.

Ironically, the arrest occurred just weeks before Robinson was to star in the stoner comedy Pineapple Express as a small time drug fiend. If convicted of the two felonies he is charged with, Robinson could face jail time and a significant fine. His bail was set at $10,000 in the wake of his arrest. Robinson, who often jovially spars with Steve Carrell’s Michael Scott on The Office, was also tagged for possession of ecstasy and cocaine.

Indiana Jones’ Co-star Arrested in West Hollywood Drunk Driving Case

On July 27th, 2008, Shia LaBeouf, a 22-year-old actor known for his work in films like Transformers and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, was arrested for causing a DUI accident in West Hollywood. Fortunately for the parties involved in the accident, no one was seriously hurt, although LaBeouf himself was whisked away to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for minor injuries. LaBeouf’s DUI collision occurred at the intersection of Fountain Avenue and La Brea Avenue.

This wasn’t the first time that LaBeouf has been caught in altercations with the law. In 2007, he was arrested at a Chicago Walgreens for trespassing. Earlier in 2007, while carousing in Burbank, an officer reprimanded LaBeouf for smoking in a designated non-smoking area.

Los Angeles Sexual Assault and Molestation Charges against Physician

On July 8th, 2008, Dr. Kevin Brown was arrested for multiple cases of sexual assault and molestation in Los Angeles. The accusations cover a period from November, 2006 to May, 2008 and include many salacious charges. Accusers claim that Dr. Brown knocked out patients with Oxycodone in preparation for molestation and that he raped a 15-year-old girl. On top of that, Dr. Brown stands accused of sexual exploitation and fraud. Some investigators suggest that this 37-year-old physician may have been molesting his patients for up to a decade. The court commissioner held the physician at a $4 million bail — a high price but one that the commissioner deemed necessary because of Dr. Brown’s stature as the child of a prominent foreign minister.

Even as Dr. Brown and his attorneys work out their defense against these charges, hundreds of other people throughout the Southland similarly stand accused of horrible California sexual molestation crimes. Unfortunately, many of these accused are either completely innocent or guilty of far lesser charges.

Assault and Attempted Robbery Charges Filed against 2 Moorpark Men

Moorpark Men Arrested on Suspicion of Assault, Attempted Robbery

Ventura County Sheriff’s deputies have arrested two men in connection with an attack and robbery attempt in the parking lot of a local Target store, the Ventura County Star reports. Police arrested 21-year-old Jeffrey De Paz and Henry Perez, 22 – both of Moorpark – on suspicion of witness intimidation, battery and attempted robbery in Ventura County.

The two men are accused of attacking 18-year-old Javier Felix of Fillmore and David Polito, 20 of Moorpark at the Target store in the 800 block of East Los Angeles Avenue in Moorpark, the report states. Perez and De Paz allegedly attacked the men, demanded money from Polito and threatened to hurt him if he called the police. De Paz and Perez left the scene in a vehicle, which deputies found at Miller Park near Highway 118. Both the alleged assailants were arrested after police searched the park.

Poison Drummer Charged With Sex Crime

On March 28th, 2008, rock ‘n’ roll drummer Rikki Rockett was arrested on rape charges in Los Angeles and booked into Los Angeles County Jail for the alleged rape of a Mississippi woman in September of 2007. Rockett was tagged at the Los Angeles International Airport and held pending a decision whether to extradite him to Mississippi for prosecution. Apparently, the attorneys for the prosecution had been reviewing the woman’s complaint for some time before the arrest was made.

Rockett stands charged with holding the defendant in a hotel room in the Silver Star Casino and physically and sexually assaulting her. He is best known for his work with the band Poison, which was one of the most popular glam rock bands of the ’80s.

Insurance Fraud Staged Accident Fatality

Does a death in a staged accident equal murder?

In the first of its kind prosecution, a personal injury attorney, tried for the accidental death occurring during a staged accident ended in a mistrial. Bold new theories of second degree murder under a new theory of “vicarious liability” are being tested. See People v. Antick, 15 Cal.3d 79 @ p.86 (1975), Taylor v. Superior Court, 3 Cal.3d 578, 584 (1970), People v. Gilbert, 63 Cal.2d 690, 704 (1965). Call me for updates.

Criminal Defense Attorney Tips and Advice

Police target tips: don’t get arrested “by accident”

– Take detailed notes of your incarcerations. Include taped discussions with witnesses or other parties involved.

– Carefully review all police and accident reports, looking out for any suspicious inconsistencies.

– If you are suspicious, investigate before accepting the case.

– Trust your instincts

– If you have information that proves the case is fraudulent, first confer with your own trained counsel.

– Don’t sign your name to any document without careful review.

– Watch out for “rental car” accident cases.

– If you are contacted by law enforcement, immediately contact legal counsel experienced in these matters.

California Insurance Fraud Cases Still Mounting

Big Brother “District Attorney” is watching you

State and federal agencies, along with the implementation of more effective communication devices has resulted in the “enforcement of insurance fraud in multiple folds” states Los Angeles District Attorney Loren Naiman, assigned to the Special Insurance Fraud Task Force. “We now meet at least once a month to discuss leads in addition to jointly targeting individuals. I’m currently working with a task force involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Internal Revenue Service, Postal Department, Department of Insurance, Los Angeles Police Department, and the State bar of California. There will be more MAJOR arrests before years’ end.”

“Los Angeles County is the fraud capitol of the world” states Los Angeles District Attorney Lenny Schaeffer, “although the fraud is tending to move out of Los Angeles County into surrounding areas. We’re still working on cases and they’re still coming in.”

How does a suspected insurance fraud case come to the attention of state and federal authorities? “First”, says Loren Naiman, “all insurers have Special Investigative Units (SIU’s) to investigate fraudulent claim practices. These SIU’s send in documents on suspicious activities, developing leads in other cases. Second, we get cold calls from the public and recently, have received a number of calls from attorneys who just realized their offices had been taken over by people signing their names. Third, a disgruntled client or just a plain snitch” says Lenny Schaeffer.
