Amanda Little MySpace

Conyers, Ga. (The Weekly Vice) - Amanda Little, a 26-year-old Oxford woman was arrested this week after she allegedly lied about being raped to cover up a sex romp her boyfriend was about to find out about.

According to Conyers Police, Amanda Little initially told investigators that she had been kidnapped and then raped while walking in a Wal-Mart parking lot about 1 a.m on June 24.

She claimed that her abductor took her to another location where he carried out the sexual assault.

While investigating the case, detectives reviewed surveillance video of the parking lot, but did not find an instance where a woman appeared to have been abducted.

Eventually, the woman came clean - admitting that she made up the rape story to cover up a sex romp her boyfriend was about to learn about.

Investigators say Little told them she was having sex at another location when her cell phone accidentally dialed the number of her boyfriend's friend. The call left a voice mail recording on the friend's phone, capturing Little's bout of unfaithfulness.

She was booked into jail on a charge of filing a false report of a crime.

Sharri Butler - Jailed After Attempting To Sell Baby, So The Baby Daddy Would “Get Off Her Back”

Sharri Butler MySpace Profile
Sharri Butler MySpace Profile 2

Raleigh, North Carolina (The Weekly Vice) - Sharri Chellerina Butler, a 22-year-old North Carolina woman was jailed two weeks ago after she allegedly tried to sell her 2-month-old child because she was tired of being bothered by the child's father.

According to Raleigh Police, investigators were called after a woman received a voice mail from another woman who was offering to sell her baby. The caller, now identified as Sharri Butler, reportedly left her work number asking to be contacted.

Investigators traced the number back to Butler, a single mother with three children. She was arrested shortly thereafter.

Butler appeared before a Wake magistrate after her arrest, explaining that she and the child's father were not together, but that he was a "crazy baby father" who demanded that she put the baby up for adoption.

She reportedly told detectives that she called a random number and then offered the baby for sale "in order to get him off her back." Detectives say the number was not random, but wouldn't go into specifics about how the two women might be connected.

Butler was booked into the Wake County Jail on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. Her bond was set at $10,000.


The Weekly Vice Opinion:

Contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile? Are they for real? This type of charge is a long way away from a human trafficking charge - and doesn't come with nearly the same kind of penalties.

Seems to us this police department really doesn't want to take this case seriously. And if police won't take it seriously, why should the child's mother take it seriously?

Walter Bond Went Vegan, Then Went To Bizzaro Land

Glendale, Colorado (The Weekly Vice) - Walter Edmund Bond, a 34-year-old animal rights activist from Salt Lake City, Utah was jailed Thursday after he allegedly burned down a sheepskin factory in Colorado.

According to Denver Fire Department investigators, a fire was set on April 30th at the Sheepskin Factory, a business that sells products such as seat covers, shoes, rugs, and blankets.

“Be warned that making a living from the use and abuse of animals will not be tolerated. Also be warned that leather is every bit as evil as fur, as demonstrated in my recent arson against the Leather Factory in Salt Lake City. Go vegan!”

The Tiburon Restaurant in Sandy, Utah, was set ablaze on July 2nd, causing $10,000 in damages and forcing the restaurant to close it's doors for 13 days. The store owner lost another $30,000 in revenue during the closing.

The informant described a prominent tattoo on the suspect's face, and the word "vegan" across his neck. A meeting was set up at the Ramada Inn in Glendale, Colorado, where he admitted on undercover surveillance video that he had set all the fires. Bond was arrested at a friends house, who stated that the suspect ate two hamburgers containing beef while he was there. Bond had a backpack in his possession, which contained propaganda literature titled "The Declaration of War - Killing People to Save Animals - Strike a Match, Light a Fuse, We Only Have the Earth to Lose."

Bond was booked into jail and charged with one count of arson of property affecting interstate commerce. If convicted, he faces a maximum prison term of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. He has not been charged with either Utah incident, although he takes responsibility.
