Maryland Police gave out munchies, then watched people get high — for training
Just after 7 p.m., under an outdoor tent in suburban Maryland, Yohanna Molina fired up a joint. With her were 11 others getting high. “This is weird to be doing this here,” she told a friend hunched over a glass bong. “You should try being on the police side of it,” cracked an officer standing behind them, one of more than a dozen cops also in the tent. The exchange cut to the core of the…

Police in Maryland are asking for any possible victims to come forward after a man accused his middle school teacher of sexually assaulting him multiple times in 2015.
The alleged victim claims Melissa Marie Curtis, 31, engaged in sex acts with him when he was a minor. He claims the abuse started when Curtis was 22 and he was a 14-year-old eighth grade student at Montgomery Village Middle School in Montgomery County.
Charging documents allege the abuse lasted for several months, from January to May 2015. The man says all the sex acts happened within Montgomery County, but in different locations, such as a school classroom, a movie theater, multiple homes, and Curtis’ car. He claims the two had sex more than 20 times.
Curtis turned herself in on Nov. 7 after the Montgomery County Police Department’s Special Victims Investigations Division issued an arrest warrant. She is charged with sexual abuse of a minor, as well as multiple counts of third- and fourth-degree sex offenses.
According to police, Curtis was a teacher in Montgomery County for approximately two years, working at Montgomery Village Middle School and Lakelands Park Middle School.
Jesse Weber spoke with renowned journalist and founder of the TruBlu streaming service Chris Hansen about the ongoing investigation for Law&Crime’s Sidebar podcast.
“At least anecdotally, to me, it seems like we’re seeing more survivors, victims coming forward. People are starting to feel more comfortable,” Hansen told Weber.
“It also speaks to this notion about some people saying, ‘oh, well, it’s a young adolescent boy’s dream come true to have a sexual liaison with an older woman.’ But at that age, it causes a lot of damage,” Hansen said. “And obviously, in this case, you had a boy who was 14 years old at the time of the offense, who all these years later has come forward, because it would seem to me that he’s suffering from what happened, that it impacted him in a negative way. And that’s why it’s a crime.” “If it was something that was harmless or purely sexual in nature for him, you would likely let it pass,” Hansen continued. “But he felt compelled to come forward and report a crime that happened, you know, eight, nine years ago. And this is significant because somebody in the position of trust like a teacher, should not be able to get away with this. And it’s not a harmless fantasy. It causes damage.”
Investigators believe there could be other students who were victims of Curtis. Anyone with information is asked to call 240-773-5400.

Hey all you To Kill A Mockingbird fans (and there are a lot of you): pour one out this weekend to the memory of hospital orderly Thomas Finch.
In September of 1936, Finch, 29, had been steadily working at Grady Hospital in Atlanta, Georgia as an orderly for nearly eight years, having gotten the job largely thanks to his father, a well-known haberdasher. On the evening of September 11 at 9:00pm, a 22 year-old white woman patient, Ozella Smith, made an accusation of rape which swiftly came to the attention of the local police department. Five officers showed up at Finch's parents' home at 3:00am. But rather than arrest Finch or even bring him to the downtown police station, they brutalized him on the spot --beating him into near-unrecognizability and shooting him at least five times at close range. The officers then dumped Finch in front of the hospital entrance; forcing his own co-workers to rush him into emergency surgery --unfortunately Finch fell into a coma and never again regained consciousness. While Finch's siblings publicly vowed to investigate the full circumstances, heartbreakingly none of his assailants would ever face charges, much less a trial. Instead they maintained a version of events where Finch (here come the usual clichés) "resisted arrest," "tried to escape," and also "reached for an officers' gun" --details which were uncritically accepted by the press. In fact Samuel Roper, one of the officers, would himself later become a leader in the Ku Klux Klan, and to this day the City of Atlanta does not formally recognize its own police department's role in this lynching. Finch's home and indeed the entire neighborhood has long since been bulldozed and redeveloped over the years, forever defying any kind of honest reckoning.
Perhaps even more upsetting is the reality that this case was in no way an outlier; that, for its time, it was almost stereotypical in its composition. White people's fear of interracial sex was a powerful motivator for mob violence, and such accusations were the genesis of a full 25% of all recorded lynchings in Fulton County, Georgia, between 1906 and 1936. Such was the frequency of this kind of extrajudicial murder that it begs a deeper analysis; an understanding of just what stoked such intense emotions in the Jim Crow South.
The still-relatively-new National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama (opened in 2019) lists more than 4,000 names of lynching victims, spread across 20 states. Conspicuously among those names it does list Thomas Finch's murder but --equally conspicuously-- provides relatively few details, likely because of the police involvement. Which brings us to the efforts of an early civil rights group called the Commission on Interracial Cooperation, which at the very least tried to establish some facts about the case; pointing out the inconsistencies in the timing of the accusation, and the relatively public location it was said to have happened. The commission appears to have corresponded with area church leaders in the immediate aftermath of Finch's death and even went as far as to call for a grand jury, but ultimately nothing came of it. The all-white power structures that ran Atlanta in those days went unchallenged (little wonder, with people like Roper at the top), and even the NAACP was leery of making formal accusations against police officers when the official narrative embraced the "but he was resisting arrest" excuse. To this day no steps have been taken towards exoneration; and the family descendants of Finch, his accuser, and his killers, have rationalized --in wildly differing ways-- their own understandings of this painful moment in history.
Most disappointing of all is the fact that history itself can now only view Finch through the lens of the horror that befell him, and the essential core of the man himself --his upbringing, his education, his aspirations and his achievements-- are lost.

6 arrested in King of Prussia prostitution sting
Six people were arrested over the weekend as a result of Montgomery County Detectives and Upper Merion Police Department’s initiative to stop human trafficking and the commercial sex trade in Montgomery County.
Sunil Jagani, 41, of Malvern, Andrew Kim, 46, of Willow Grove, Scott Konefsky, 50, of Royersford, Laltendu Mahapatra, 28, of North Wales, Jason Schenck, 24, of Philadelphia and Eric Zettle, 44, of Norristown, were all arrested for allegedly patronizing prostitution. Konefsky was also charged for allegedly carrying a firearm without a license.
“This is the first of many law enforcement initiatives focused on public safety and quality of life,” Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Ferman said.
Ferman said there are two reasons for this kind of sting operation, the first being the rise in prostitution related offenses in Montgomery County. The second is the knowledge that prostitutes are often the victims of human trafficking.
On Feb. 28, according to a press release sent out on Monday, the Upper Merion Police Department and the Montgomery County Detective Bureau organized a sting operation targeting human trafficking and the sex trade in the King of Prussia Area. As part of the sting, officers posted an online advertisement offering prostitution services. According to the press release, officers received hundreds of text messages and phone calls for a time and location as well as price. Each defendant met at the agreed location at different times with an undercover officer posing as a prostitute before being taken into custody.
On Monday, criminal summons were filed with District Judge William Maruszczak. Each of the defendants will face a preliminary hearing in front of Maruszczak at dates to be determined.
The cases against these individuals will be prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Jordan Friter

WASHINGTON (AP) — Racist text messages invoking slavery raised alarm across the country this week after they were sent to Black men, women and students, including middle schoolers, prompting inquiries by the FBI and other agencies.
The messages, sent anonymously, were reported in several states, including New York, Alabama, California, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee. They generally used a similar tone but varied in wording.
Some instructed the recipient to show up at an address at a particular time “with your belongings,” while others didn't include a location. Some of them mentioned the incoming presidential administration.
It wasn't yet clear who was behind the messages and there was no comprehensive list of where they were sent, but high school and college students were among the recipients.
The FBI said it was in touch with the Justice Department on the messages, and the Federal Communications Commission said it was investigating the texts “alongside federal and state law enforcement.” The Ohio Attorney General's office also said it was looking into the matter.
Tasha Dunham of Lodi, California, said her 16-year-old daughter showed her one of the messages Wednesday evening before her basketball practice.
The text not only used her daughter's name, but it directed her to report to a “plantation” in North Carolina, where Dunham said they’ve never lived. When they looked up the address, it was the location of a museum.
“It was very disturbing,” Dunham said. “Everybody’s just trying to figure out what does this all mean for me? So, I definitely had a lot of fear and concern.”
Her daughter initially thought it was a prank, but emotions are high following Tuesday’s presidential election. Dunham and her family thought it could be more nefarious and reported it to local law enforcement.
“I wasn’t in slavery. My mother wasn't in slavery. But we’re a couple of generations away. So, when you think about how brutal and awful slavery was for our people, it’s awful and concerning,” Dunham said.
About six middle school students in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, received the messages too, said Megan Shafer, acting superintendent of the Lower Merion School District.
“The racist nature of these text messages is extremely disturbing, made even more so by the fact that children have been targeted,” she wrote in a letter to parents.
Students at some major universities, including Clemson in South Carolina and the University of Alabama, said they received the messages. The Clemson Police Department said in a statement that it had been notified of the “deplorable racially motivated text and email messages” and encouraged anyone who received one to report it.
Fisk University, a historically Black university in Nashville, Tennessee, issued a statement calling the messages that targeted some of its students “deeply unsettling.” It urged calm and assured students that the texts likely were from bots or malicious actors with “no real intentions or credibility.”
Missouri NAACP President Nimrod Chapel said Black students who are members of the organization's Missouri State University chapter received texts citing Trump’s win and calling them out by name as being “selected to pick cotton” next Tuesday. Chapel said police in the southeastern Missouri city of Springfield, home of the university, have been notified.
“It points to a well-organized and resourced group that has decided to target Americans on our home soil based on the color of our skin,” Chapel said in a statement.
Nick Ludlum, a senior vice president for the wireless industry trade group CTIA, said: “Wireless providers are aware of these threatening spam messages and are aggressively working to block them and the numbers that they are coming from.”
David Brody, director of the Digital Justice Initiative at The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said that they aren’t sure who is behind the messages but estimated they had been sent to more than 10 states, including most Southern states, Maryland, Oklahoma and even the District of Columbia. The district's Metropolitan Police force said in a statement that its intelligence unit was investigating the origins of the message.
Brody said a number of civil rights laws can be applied to hate-related incidents. The leaders of several other civil rights organizations condemned the messages, including Margaret Huang, president and CEO of the Southern Poverty Law Center, who said, “Hate speech has no place in the South or our nation.”
“The threat — and the mention of slavery in 2024 — is not only deeply disturbing, but perpetuates a legacy of evil that dates back to before the Jim Crow era, and now seeks to prevent Black Americans from enjoying the same freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness,” said NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson. “These actions are not normal. And we refuse to let them be normalized.”

Melissa Marie Curtis, 32, was handed the three-decade sentence with all but 12 months suspended for engaging in sexual acts with the 14-year-old while she was a teacher at Montgomery Village Middle School in 2015.
Curtis — who was 22 at the time — had sexual intercourse with the minor more than 20 times between January and May 2015 — with illicit trysts occurring within the school, her car and several residences, including her mother’s home in Montgomery County.
The convicted perv also gave the eighth-grader alcohol and marijuana, the Montgomery County Police Department said.

Dayne Yeager’s Crimes Exposed (2024)
Today, I want to unearth a few facts about Dayne Yeager, including details regarding his dishonest nature, the scholarships he obtained, and the unlawful operations he carried out against mankind. Considering everything said, are you prepared to deal with whatever comes your way? However, before we get into it, you need to have some background knowledge of him and how he used his nature to trick others into believing things that were not true. To put it another way, you need some background information.
Who is Dayne Yeager?
Dayne Yeager has been with Performance Truck since April 2004, which is quite a while, but rather than praise, he brings up serious problems. His almost twenty years of service seem to be an indication of incompetence and inflexibility in a sector that has changed at a dizzying rate. Performance Truck’s rapid rise to the position of general manager in 2005 raises questions about the company’s internal biases and talent pool, as well as potential leadership alternatives that might stifle innovation and progress.
A more pessimistic view of the company’s leadership may have resulted from Yeager’s 2018 promotion to CEO. By making this decision, the organization may limit its access to a wide variety of viewpoints and experiences. The fact that he graduated with honors from Texas A&M University is no guarantee of professional success for him in the trucking business. Academic achievements are no assurance of future success as a leader or in understanding the big picture of a company’s strategy.
So, many doubt Yeager’s capacity to adapt, his school credentials’ applicability to the trucking industry’s problems and expectations, and the wisdom of the firm’s leadership choices because of his lengthy career, fast advancements, and academic legacy.
Dayne Yeager: Why was he arrested, though?
A major human trafficking operation included Dayne Yeager. In a massive operation that took place in central Montgomery County on January 4 and 5, 2023, the Organized Crime Unit of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office sought to battle the solicitation of prostitution and dismantle networks that trafficked human beings.
Thirty male suspects were taken into custody and face charges of Solicitation of Prostitution, a Class A Felony in Texas that may result in state prison time. This operation carried out as a consequence of the investigation. The arrest and subsequent charges of encouraging prostitution also included a man suspect who was previously out on bail in Harris County on a murder accusation.
The operation received support from the Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance, a coalition of federal, state, and local law enforcement organizations whose mission is to protect victims of human trafficking and to discourage actions that lead to their exploitation.
Texas made history on September 1, 2021, when it made buying sex a felony and increased the penalty for the crime. This statute is strictly enforced by the Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance, who have a zero-tolerance policy against human trafficking in Montgomery County.
The organized crime unit of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office, the district attorney’s office of Montgomery County, the Texas alcoholic beverage commission, the Houston police department, and other members of the Human Trafficking Rescue Alliance worked together to make this operation a success. They made a concerted effort to combat human trafficking and prostitute solicitation in the area by working together to end unlawful activities and aid victims of human trafficking.
Dayne Yeager: He promoted His Scholarship Program via the use of False Public Relations. Just how?
The Dayne Yeager Scholarship for Student Entrepreneurs recently revealed its first laureate with an inflated sense of self-importance, accompanied by an excessively detailed description of the program. A number of the scholarship program’s features are significantly unattractive, even if it claims that it promotes intellectual development among young people.
A modest $1,000 is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the scholarship. This price is little compared to the astronomical fees that students confront while pursuing a business degree. Although it is presented as a big number, it falls far short of the requirements for ambitious businesses.
In addition, the requirements are quite stringent, carving in just to business majors. Discrimination of this kind hurts students from other disciplines, even if they may have unique perspectives and abilities that might be helpful to entrepreneurs.
Furthermore, high school kids are encouraged to apply, which may lead them to have inflated expectations upon entering the competitive corporate sector. Instead of giving real help to entrepreneurs, this might lead to disappointment.
The essay contest seems to be an attempt to solicit candidates’ unrestricted imaginations since it is the foundation of this grant. This scholarship program puts an excessive amount of pressure on students to come up with novel ideas by asking them to submit proposals on “defining success for your future business,” yet the scholarship committee reaps the rewards of these proposals without promising to assist in their implementation.
An applicant must submit an essay and personal information via the official website to apply, but there is no guarantee of a fair and open selection process, and there is no clarity on data protection procedures.
More importantly, there is a lack of openness in the selection process, which is supposed to be monitored by a panel of business experts. This raises suspicions about the scholarship recipient’s selection process, making one wonder whether other considerations were considered before the choice was made.
Everyone is treating the winner’s announcement like a big deal as if the scholarship results were going to be announced any second now—which seems insane.
Ultimately, the Dayne Yeager Scholarship for Student Entrepreneurs raises questions about its worth, equity, and motivations, despite its ostentatious facade. Students should think carefully about these programs to make sure they fit with their beliefs and objectives before signing up.
Conclusion
Dayne Yeager has a worrying record of career-long dishonesty and misbehavior. After joining Performance Truck in 2004, his stay implies a worrying inertia in an industry that evolves quickly. His quick climb to General Manager in 2005 and CEO in 2018 raised concerns about favoritism and a lack of diversity in the company’s leadership and decision-making.
A major Montgomery County human trafficking operation in early 2023 tarnishes Yeager’s career. His involvement in this unlawful action, which resulted in several arrests and serious criminal charges, shows a fundamentally unethical and lacking business responsibility aspect.
His inflated support for the Dayne Yeager Scholarship for Student Entrepreneurs further reveals his unethical behavior. Despite purportedly supporting budding entrepreneurs, the program grants a small cash prize and has rigorous rules that exclude many eligible applicants. Essay competitions may abuse entrants’ ideas without providing actual aid or protection.
Dayne Yeager’s actions—from questionable career gains to criminal participation and false scholarship promotions—show a fundamentally damaged person whose behavior and goals are concerning. His actions require a critical reconsideration of his effect on his sector and the community, and it illustrates the significance of openness, ethics, and true support in leadership and philanthropy.
