James Fall Married Himself A Starter Wife. Charged With Marrying His 10-Year-Old Niece


Mound, MN (The Weekly Vice) - James Wallace Fall, a 58-year-old Mound man was jailed after he allegedly married his niece, who was 10 years old at the time.

According to the Mound Police Department, Fall married his niece during a summer vacation at Yellowstone National Park in 2001.

Investigators say Fall alternated sleeping arrangements - sleeping with the child and his previous wife, 49-year-old Rosemary Fall.

The marriage reportedly continued for nine years until Fall's niece, who is now 19, turned him in to police.

The woman told investigators that her uncle threatened to kick her and her two brothers out of his home unless she went along with the marriage.

Fall reportedly told police that the girl's aunt knew of the arrangement and did nothing to stop it. She has also been charged in the case.

Police say they were previously called to the home on abuse allegations, but Fall's niece and his wife denied the claims.

Fall, who claims that he is a "prophet of God", told investigators that it was God's will that he marry his niece, citing biblical scripture as justification for the act.

Fall was booked into the Hennepin County Jail and charged with sexual abuse. He remains jailed, awaiting trial. His attorney will ask the court to evaluate his health.

Police are also investigating a possible murder and fraud allegations involving Fall. Investigators believe that Fall may have poisoned his brother-in-law, Phillip Johnson, 10 years ago.

Tweedle Dee And Tweedle Dumb Jailed On Auto Burglary Charges After Vehicle’s Owner Used A Unique Method To Catch Them


Lake City, Florida (The Weekly Vice) - Travis Neeley, 19, and Peter Scandizzo, 25 were arrested Friday while attempting to burglarize a vehicle. While auto burglary is not uncommon, the method used by the vehicle's owner to catch him certainly was.

According to the Columbia County Sheriff's office, Neeley was in the process of burglarizing a vehicle around 5:30 a.m. when a neighbor noticed the activity and alerted the vehicle's owner.

When the owner arrived to discover Neeley sitting in his car, he activated the vehicle's keyless remote system to lock the burglar inside. Each time Neeley reportedly tried to unlock the car and flee, the vehicle's owner re-locked the doors with a key fob, holding Neely inside the vehicle until authorities could arrive.

Investigators say deputies were arresting Neeley when they noticed a suspicious car passing by the crime scene. When deputies attempted to both the vehicle over, the driver opted to engage in a brief chase before ultimately abandoning the vehicle.

The driver, identified as Peter Scandizzo, was finally arrested after K-9 units were employed in a search of the surrounding neighborhood. Scandizzo was found hiding in his mother's Lake City home.

Neeley was booked into the Columbia County Detention Facility on charges of burglary of a vehicle, possession of burglary tools, criminal mischief and trespassing.

Scandizzo was booked into jail on charges of fleeing and eluding, possession of marijuana, possession of burglary tools, loitering and prowling, conspiracy to commit burglary and resisting arrested.

Jason Botos Facebook

Papillion, NE (The Weekly Vice) - Jason Botos, a 30-year-old Papillion man was jailed after he was allegedly too drunk to appear in court on DUI charges.

According to Sarpy County police, Botos' father drove him to the courthouse, where he was to be sentenced for a drunk driving offense.

Investigators say Botos jumped a curb on Highway 75 in September of 2009, hitting five other vehicles and critically injuring three people.

Botos reportedly showed up to his court appearance so intoxicated that his father had to ask officers to help him out of the vehicle since he was unable to walk on his own.

Officers arrested Botos in the parking lot because he was unable to make it into the courthouse, ultimately failing to appear in court. When he was in custody, police performed a breathalyzer test on him. He blew a 0.43, more then five times the state's legal limit. He was sent to a local hospital to be checked out, then taken back to jail.

Botos was booked into jail and charged with failure to appear. Combined with the original DUI charge, Botos could face up to 18 months in jail.

School Gets A Lesson In Tolerance When A Lesbian Couple Decides To Attend Prom Together. Just Kidding, School Cancelled The Whole Damn Thing


Jackson, Mississippi (The Weekly Vice) - Constance McMillen, a lesbian 18-year-old high school senior is asking a federal judge to force her Mississippi school district to reinstate a prom dance it cancelled after she asked to attend the prom with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo.

According to reports, the decision to cancel the prom came after the American Civil Liberties Union demanded that officials change a policy banning same-sex prom dates because it violated students' rights.

The ACLU said the district not letting McMillen wear a tuxedo violated her free expression rights.

Instead, the school board said it wouldn't host the event, "due to the distractions to the educational process caused by recent events" but never mentioned McMillen, her girlfriend or the ACLU. The schools' policy requires that senior prom dates be of the opposite sex.

Prior to the incident, a memo to students was sent out setting the rules for bringing a date to the prom, and one of those rules was the person must be of the opposite sex.

The ACLU said McMillen spoke to school officials before the memo was distributed because she knew same-sex dates had been prohibited in the past. The ACLU said district officials told McMillen she and her girlfriend wouldn't be allowed to arrive together, she would not be allowed to wear a tuxedo, and that she and her girlfriend might be asked to leave if their presence made any other students "uncomfortable."

The ACLU has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court to force the school district to sponsor the prom. It also asks that McMillen be allowed to escort her girlfriend, and wear her tuxedo.
