Fultondale Doctor Sentenced for Unlawful Drug Distribution and Heath Care Fraud and Demopolis Pharmacist Sentenced for Health Care Fraud BIRMINGHAM , Ala. – A federal judge today sentenced a Fultondale doctor to six years in prison for prescribing controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose and engaging in health care fraud , announced U.S. Attorney Prim F. Escalona , DEA Assistant Special Agent in Charge Clay Morris , and FBI Special Agent in Charge Johnnie Sharp , Jr. U.S. District Judge Annemarie C. Axon sentenced PAUL ROBERTS , M.D. , 48 , of Fultondale , Ala. , a physician and former co-owner of Southeast Urgent Care ( “ SEUC ” ) in Fultondale , following a guilty plea he entered to 16 counts stemming from a June 2019 Second Superseding Indictment . Roberts pled guilty to 12 counts of prescribing controlled substances without a legitimate medical purpose , including allowing unqualified staff such as an X-ray technician , to prescribe controlled substances to patients using prescriptions that Roberts pre-signed . He also prescribed controlled substances to two women , in exchange for , or in an attempt to obtain sexual favors from them . Roberts also pled guilty to a conspiracy and scheme to fraudulently bill Blue Cross Blue Shield for office visits . In addition , he pled guilty to a conspiracy and scheme to fraudulently bill health insurance companies for up to $ 2.2 million worth of medically unnecessary compounded drugs in exchange for kickbacks . Roberts was also ordered to pay restitution of $ 2.2 million , a fine of $ 100,000 , and 12 years of supervision following his release from prison . The U.S . Marshals took Roberts into custody at sentencing . As part of the plea agreement , Roberts agreed to relinquish all his medical licenses , including his Alabama medical license . In a related case , STANLEY REEVES , 62 , of Demopolis , Ala. , a pharmacist and owner of F & F Drugs in Demopolis , was sentenced to 38 months for one count of conspiring to fraudulent bill health insurance companies for $ 10.5 million worth of medically unnecessary compounded drugs . Of the $ 10.5 million , $ 2.2 million was for compounded drugs prescribed by Roberts . Reeves was also ordered to pay restitution of $ 10.5 million , pay forfeiture of $ 900,000 , and a fine of $ 100,000 . Reeves paid $ 400,000 of those amounts at sentencing . As part of the plea agreement , Reeves agreed to surrender his pharmacist license to the Alabama Board of Pharmacy . “ In blatant disregard for the law , these defendants chose greed over patients ’ welfare , ” said U.S. Attorney Prim Escalona . “ This kind of criminal conduct endangers lives in our communities and impacts healthcare costs , and we will continue to prioritize these cases. ” “ DEA is committed to bringing to justice those who engage in the dispensing of prescription drugs outside the course of a legitimate medical purpose , ” Morris said . “ The sentences handed down are a direct result of the hard work put forth by all law enforcement agencies involved . Today justice has been served. ” “ Today ’ s sentence sends a message to all those in the medical field that neither their medical license nor their white lab coats will protect them from the consequences of illegal drug distribution and medical fraud , ” Sharp said . “ Roberts and Reeves violated both our laws and their solemn oaths as medical professionals and they will now pay for those violations . It is sad to know that while many individuals continue to struggle with serious opiate addiction , this case reveals that such powerful narcotics can sometimes become available for abuse because of the illegal actions of those in the medical community. ” BRETT TAFT , 46 , of Tuscaloosa , Ala. , is listed as a co-defendant in the compounding drug health care fraud conspiracy and scheme described in the June 2019 Second Superseding Indictment . A trial date has not yet been set . FBI and DEA investigated the cases . Assistant U.S . Attorneys Chinelo Dike-Minor , Austin Shutt , Kristen Osborne , and Lloyd C. Peeples are prosecuting the case .

This is a carousel . Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate Evander Kane was the rare NHL prospect to bypass the minor leagues . A hockey prodigy , he made his professional debut with the Atlanta Thrashers in October 2009 , just two months removed from his 18th birthday . But there Kane was Tuesday morning , wearing a yellow practice jersey with the logo of the San Jose Barracuda , the Sharks ’ top minor-league affiliate , across his chest as he worked through drills at Solar4America Ice alongside two dozen NHL hopefuls . Now age 30 , Kane might be the most overqualified player in American Hockey League history — an elite left winger with 506 NHL points spanning 769 games . Few doubt his talent , but a slew of off-ice issues threaten to end his career when he should still be in his prime . With his NHL teammates reportedly unwilling to play with him , the Sharks placed Kane on waivers Sunday , then assigned him to the Barracuda a day later when no other team picked him up . This was the most logical place to put him as management tries to figure out what to do with him next . Kane ’ s 21-game suspension for reportedly submitting a fake COVID-19 vaccination card ended Sunday , thrusting the Sharks into a strange sort of limbo . He has four years left on his seven-year , $ 49 million contract . Though the Sharks could free themselves from one of the biggest dressing-room issues in recent NHL history by buying him out of his deal , they would have to keep him on their books until 2028 . Six years of dead salary-cap space is far from ideal for a team eager to put together a roster that can win the franchise ’ s first Stanley Cup . That ’ s why , instead of paying Kane $ 7 million to stay home for the rest of the season until they can buy him out , the Sharks have opted to assign him to the Barracuda as they scour the league for a trade . The problem is that Kane ’ s well-chronicled history of injuries and run-ins make him a toxic asset . Just within the past 18 months , he has been accused of sexual and physical abuse by his estranged wife ; filed for bankruptcy while facing lawsuits from nine different lenders over a reported $ 26 million gambling debt ; been investigated for — and later cleared — of betting on Sharks games ; and been suspended a quarter of the season for that false vaccination card . A recent report from the New York Post suggested that an Eastern Conference team might be interested in acquiring Kane . But if that franchise isn ’ t one of the three teams Kane lists in his no-trade clause as a suitable destination , the Sharks could have a near-impossible time unloading him . And that ’ s assuming San Jose would retain up to half of his salary in any potential trade — the maximum allowed in the collective-bargaining agreement . Asked Tuesday about his no-trade clause , Kane said , “ I have that in there for a reason . That ’ s my right . … It ’ s definitely important. ” But given all that has transpired in recent months , he should just hope that any NHL team will want him . If Kane stays in the AHL and is bought out next summer , he ’ ll make only $ 14 million of the $ 19 million left on his contract after his season . Even a dominant run with the Barracuda might not be enough for Kane to land another NHL deal . The AHL is a league loaded with 19- , 20- and 21-year-olds striving for the chance to someday realize their childhood goal of playing at the sport ’ s highest level . Kane lived that dream for 12 seasons , only for it to become somewhat of a nightmare for many who worked with him . After watching him pace the Sharks in goals ( 22 ) , assists ( 27 ) and points ( 49 ) last season , some of his teammates reportedly told management that they didn ’ t want him back . His antics had so worn on those who shared a dressing room with him that they were willing to see how they fared without one of the league ’ s most talented forwards . Kane is aware that , like his new , less famous teammates , he is playing for another shot at the NHL . When Barracuda head coach Roy Sommer texted him Monday about the expectations for him , he wrote back all the right things . By Tuesday morning , Kane was arriving early to practice at the north rink — a short walk from the Sharks ’ south rink — as more than a dozen media members snapped photos , shot video or jotted notes . When teammates made goals during drills , Kane offered encouraging words . Toward the end of practice , when his team lost a shootout competition , he stayed to complete extra laps while the winning team skated off the ice . “ I don ’ t think we ’ re going to have a problem , ” said Sommer , who coached Kane as an assistant with the Sharks during the 2019-20 season . “ I know there ’ s been issues in the past . But I think he knows that , if anything good is going to come out of this , he better be on his best behavior. ” Added Barracuda defenseman Jaycob Megna : “ A lot of guys haven ’ t been around him . Myself , I haven ’ t been around him . … Today , he came in and worked hard . He was a good leader . That ’ s all you can ask. ” Kane isn ’ t expected to join the Barracuda for their two-game trip this weekend to Abbotsford , B.C. , but Sommer implied that Kane would be inserted into the lineup soon enough . A minor-league team mired in a four-game skid hopes that the addition of a proven NHL goal-scorer is all it needs to turn around its season . But after a year-plus of watching Kane ’ s personal turmoil cause off-ice distractions , the Sharks ’ brass is proceeding with caution . Assistant general manager Joe Will , who is filling in for Doug Wilson while the general manager takes a temporary medical leave , told reporters recently , “ We ’ re going to see how things go . He ’ s assigned there until he ’ s not assigned there. ” Few should fault the Sharks for not having a detailed plan in place . Sommer has been in pro hockey for more than four decades , and even he admitted that he has never encountered a situation quite like the one San Jose faces with Kane . Perhaps the only certainty is that , for it not to end in disaster for both parties , Kane must abstain from the behavior that got him to this point . And if his news conference Tuesday was any indicator , that could prove difficult . For more than 10 minutes , he called his string of bad press “ misinformation ” that has “ happened my whole career , ” skirted questions about the fake vaccination card and referenced his production last season as proof that he can tune out chatter . Shortly after Kane stated that “ everything was all positive ” during his end-of-year meeting last May , he conceded that he hasn ’ t spoken to any of his Sharks teammates . “ I ’ ve been doing my own thing , ” said Kane , who will miss practice Wednesday to attend a court hearing as part of the ongoing legal dispute with his estranged wife . “ Getting myself prepared , handling my business — as I ’ m sure they have. ” Connor Letourneau is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer .

Lion rescued from Syria zoo gives birth in Jordan reserve SOUF , Jordan ( AP ) — The odds had been stacked against Hajar , a lion cub born just hours after her mother Dana , rescued from a zoo in war-torn Syrian , was released into a wildlife reserve in Jordan . Dana and 12 other animals , including four other lions and two tigers , had barely survived under harsh conditions in the Syrian city of Aleppo , once a major battleground . They were transported from Syria to Turkey and then to Jordan by the animal charity Four Paws , stuck in cages most of the time . They arrived in Jordan on Friday . Martin Bauer of Four Paws said Sunday that the cub might not have survived had it been born in a cage . He says the cub seems fine and is nursing . He says Dana carries a second baby due any time .

'Bull ' star Michael Weatherly reflects on Les Moonves scandal , lessons from 'NCIS ' NEW YORK – Michael Weatherly is a fixture at CBS . He played Anthony DiNozzo on “ NCIS ” from its premiere in 2003 until 2016 , when he left to star in his own CBS series , “ Bull. ” It ’ s that history with the network that Weatherly says makes it difficult to comment on Les Moonves ’ resignation earlier this month as chief of CBS amid sexual misconduct allegations . “ Not to get into any of the ifs , ands or buts about what is right or wrong and where it comes from , ” Weatherly said in a recent interview . “ Professionally I owe a great part of my career to the decision-making of the higher-ups at the company . It ’ s a complicated place to be. ” More : Candice Bergen changed mind about her pal , ousted CBS chief Leslie Moonves Season three of “ Bull ” premieres Monday at 10 p.m. Eastern . Weatherly plays Jason Bull , a psychologist and trial consultant . The show is based on the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw , who is an executive producer . Weatherly says he ’ s learned there ’ s a leadership role that comes with being first on a call sheet of a TV series . “ It ’ s been very illuminating and given me a great deal of insight and regard for what Mark Harmon was doing all those years ( on ‘ NCIS ’ ) , when I was like , ‘ How come he doesn ’ t have as much fun as the rest of us ? ’ ” he said with a laugh . “ On ( ’ NCIS ’ ) I was doing a little bit as Steve Martin in every episode and so that kept it very fresh for me for a very long time . But being the central character – I think I found this in season one – you have to limit the range of stuff that you ’ re doing because otherwise you just look like a crazy person. ” Season two ended with Bull suffering a heart attack on the courthouse steps . The character is now committed to being healthy , which led Weatherly to improve his own fitness during the show ’ s hiatus . He lost about 25 pounds but jokes that he ’ s since “ found about eight. ” Weatherly believes the series ’ concept keeps it ripe for storytelling . “ As long as human beings remain mysterious and contradictory and paradoxical , I think we will have episodes to explore those ideas . ”

Advertisement FOLLOW ON OTTAWA — Health Canada has approved a request from the Canadian Blood Services and Hema-Quebec to reduce the blood donation ban on men who have sex with men from one year to three months . Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor made the announcement on Parliament Hill Wednesday morning . “ It ’ s a very significant announcement… As a result , men who have sex with men will be able to give blood after a deferral period of three months , ” she said . In a statement released Wednesday , Canadian Blood Services said the change will take effect on June 3 , 2019 . In November 2018 the health minister said that this change was coming “ soon , ” after receiving an application from both blood donation agencies to change their criteria on how much time must pass between men who have sex with men being sexually active and becoming eligible to donate . Health Canada is the regulator that approves the blood agencies ’ requests to update their policies . In 2016 the deferral period was brought down to one year , down from the previous five-year wait . The government has nevertheless faced criticism that any ban remains at all , after promising in 2015 to end it altogether . During the last federal election , the Liberals called the ban “ discriminatory ” and said that the policy `` ignores scientific evidence and must end . '' Liberal MP and special adviser to the prime minister on LGBTQ2 issues Randy Boissonnault said this development is a ‘ big win ” for the LGBTQ community . “ The research continues into the behavioural-based model , we ’ re still working on the file ... it demonstrates what happens when government follows the science , ” Boissonnault said . In 2016 the Liberals ’ earmarked $ 3 million for research on behaviour-based donation policies , and in 2018 announced $ 7.1 million over five years towards increasing access to testing and treatment for HIV and hepatitis among gay , bisexual , transgender , two-spirit , and queer men . According to the federal government , in 2017 , a total of 2,402 new cases of HIV were reported in Canada , half of whom were men who have sex with men .

U.S. Attorney Urges the Public to Report Suspected COVID-19 Fraud St. Louis – U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen of the Eastern District of Missouri today urged the public to report suspected fraud schemes related to COVID-19 ( the Coronavirus ) by calling the National Center for Disaster Fraud ( NCDF ) hotline ( 1-866-720-5721 ) or by contacting the NCDF e-mail address disaster @ leo.gov . In coordination with the Department of Justice , Attorney General William Barr has directed U.S . Attorneys to prioritize the investigation and prosecution of Coronavirus fraud schemes . The NCDF Hotline can receive and enter complaints into a centralized system that can be accessed by all U.S . Attorneys , as well as Justice Department litigating and law enforcement components to identify , investigate and prosecute fraud schemes . The NCDF coordinates complaints with 16 additional federal law enforcement agencies , as well as state Attorneys General and local authorities . “ My office will continue to work with federal , state and local law enforcement to protect zealously the public from fraudsters who try to take advantage of a vulnerable time for our nation , ” said U.S. Attorney Jensen . “ A national crisis is in no way a safe harbor for criminal activity. ” Some examples of these schemes include : - Individuals and businesses selling fake cures for COVID-19 online and engaging in other forms of fraud . - Phishing emails from entities posing as the World Health Organization or the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . - Malicious websites and apps that appear to share Coronavirus-related information to gain and lock access to your devices until payment is received . - Seeking donations fraudulently for illegitimate or non-existent charitable organizations . - Medical providers obtaining patient information for COVID-19 testing and then using that information to fraudulently bill for other tests and procedures . In connection with a memorandum to U.S . Attorneys issued March 19 by Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen , the United States Attorney ’ s Office has appointed a Coronavirus Fraud Coordinator to serve as the legal counsel for the Eastern District of Missouri on matters relating to the Coronavirus , and to direct the prosecution of Coronavirus-related crimes . Anyone with such information concerning such matters is encouraged to contact the United States Attorney ’ s Office immediately .

I checked the date again . No , I am not mistaken . It is May 2013 and an official commission of inquiry just submitted its findings to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as to who killed Muhammad al-Durrah , if he was , in fact , killed at all . “ Hold on , ” I start to wonder . “ It took them 13 years to investigate who killed that 12-year-old boy at the start of the second intifada ? ” Impossible . The Agranat Commission , which was established in 1973 , in the wake of the Yom Kippur War , took just a year and a half to conduct its investigation , and published its findings in 1975 . The Kahan Commission , another official commission of inquiry , which investigated the massacre in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps [ in Lebanon ] in September 1982 , took only three months to find that then Defense Minister Ariel Sharon bore ministerial responsibility for what happened there . Then there was the Winograd Commission which investigated the failures of the Second Lebanon War . It heard the testimony of hundreds of witnesses and examined thousands of documents , but it was also able to publish its findings in considerably less time — it was appointed in September 2006 and released a partial report in late April 2007 . How is it possible that a commission created to investigate Durrah ’ s death took 13 years to reach its conclusions ? Were there that many witnesses to interrogate ? Did the commission uncover incriminating new evidence , perhaps even a smoking gun of sorts that was heretofore unknown , and which cast the whole incident in an entirely different light ? Obviously , the commission of inquiry that was formed to look into the killing of Muhammad al-Durrah at the Netzarim intersection on Sept. 30 , 2000 , did not really spend 13 years conducting its investigation . It is also quite obvious to me that no one in Israel , or the world for that matter , was waiting with bated breath to hear what the commission had to say . In fact , very few people even knew that it existed . The commission of inquiry was first created nine months ago ( in September 2012 ) by Netanyahu and Minister Moshe “ Bogie ” Ya ’ alon , who then served as minister of strategic affairs in the office of the prime minister , but has since assumed the post of minister of defense . His previous position , unlike his current one , did not really leave him with many responsibilities , but it was located in the Prime Minister ’ s Office compound , where weighty decisions are made on a regular basis . That is where the government decides things like `` should we bomb Iran or not ? '' or `` should we attack the convoys carrying armaments from Damascus to Beirut ? '' When a minister ’ s very title implies that he focuses on matters deemed “ strategic , ” what can he actually do to add content to his post ? I am not arguing that there was no need to investigate the killing of the 12-year-old boy who became a symbol of the second intifada . The problem is the timing . It should not be done now , 13 years later . The narrative has already been etched into the Palestinian national consciousness , and nothing can change that , not even the conclusions of an official Israeli investigative committee . And it certainly does not help that its conclusions are based on meager findings derived from a video shot by the France 2 TV network . If , on the other hand , someone would have provided indisputable evidence that Durrah was still alive , that would be a whole new story . Alternately , if someone would have found testimony by the Palestinian police that they were the ones who actually shot the boy , there would be good reason to revisit the case after so many years . Of course , none of that happened . The former chief of Israel ’ s Southern Command reserve Maj. Gen. Yom-Tov Samia was the first to claim that it was not Israeli gunfire that killed Durrah . He based his conclusion on a comprehensive investigation that he personally led , which calculated the angle of the gunfire and the precise location of Israel Defense Forces ( IDF ) troops at the intersection during the incident . After collecting the evidence , he reached the verdict that the boy and his father were most likely hit by Palestinian gunfire . He provided a legitimate counterargument and presented it in real time , while the world was still outraged by images of the incident . What Samia did not conclude from his investigation is the ludicrous claim that “ it was all staged , ” and that Durrah is still “ alive and kicking ” somewhere in the Gaza Strip , like the Ya ’ alon-Steinitz Report insinuates . This groundless claim was first raised in a documentary film by German journalist Esther Shapira , which aired in Germany in 2002 . The film evoked considerable controversy which focused on the quality of her investigation . Many argued that the film had an agenda and was rife with inaccuracies . This all came to a head when the director stated with utter earnestness that there are people in Gaza who would swear that they have seen Muhammad al-Durrah alive . She provided no evidence to support her claim , whether oral or written , in person or on camera . She simply tossed out a statement that many Israelis hope to hear : Muhammad al-Durrah is alive and well , and all the brouhaha surrounding him is nonsense . It is just another cheap shot against Israel by Palestinian propagandists . It is even more disappointing to discover that the Israeli government ’ s recent commission of inquiry actually makes a connection of sorts to this claim . Of course , it does not do so directly , but the insinuations are laid on thick and heavy . And then the commission expects people to take its report seriously … During the second intifada , Israelis and Palestinians did not confine their fighting to blood-drenched battlefields . They also fought over the hearts and minds of the public , both locally and internationally . Both sides exploited shocking images from various events for their own propaganda purposes , to prove that the other party was the villain in the story . So , for example , the IDF released film clips of rocket launchers being taken out of Palestinian ambulances and supposedly wounded “ victims ” suddenly getting up on their feet , not knowing that they were being filmed by a drone soaring high above them . Still , to even think that the Palestinians were so prepared by the second day of that intifada that they could stage a propaganda film with so many extras and so many bags of actors ’ blood is a little too much . Since the second intifada , almost 7,000 Palestinians have been killed . There were also some 1,100 Israeli casualties of suicide attacks . Tens of thousands more were injured or suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder . There were also two major military operations in Gaza and thousands of rockets were fired at Israel . Of all the issues raised by this bitter conflict , someone decided that the one thing that demands an investigation is the death of Muhammad al-Durrah . Once again , this raises the question : What was this commission actually hoping to achieve ? Did it expect people around the world to start demonstrating in support of Israel ? Maybe this investigation was intended “ to show the real face of the Palestinians ” ( to paraphrase then Prime Minister Ehud Barak ’ s miserable comment after the Camp David summit ) . Maybe it was all intended to convince the Americans , the French , the British , the Germans and all the other Europeans who we are dealing with here . And we have not even mentioned Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan . And so , 13 years after the incident , when the commission of inquiry presented its findings to Netanyahu on May 19 , 2013 , declared : “ It is important to focus on this event , which was used to slander Israel . This is an example of the deceptive delegitimization campaign that Israel constantly confronts . There is only one way to fight against lies , and that is with the truth . Only the truth can stand up to the lies. ” Former Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz has since taken over as the new minister of strategic affairs . Since he , like his predecessor , has plenty of time on his hands in his new position , I would like to suggest a few other issues from the past that future commissions of inquiry could investigate . After so many years , we are bound to uncover the “ truth ” at last . Who killed Raed Karmi in 2002 , during the second intifada , rekindling the violence after it looked like it was petering out ? Who gave the order that cost the lives of hundreds of Israeli civilians and thousands of Palestinians ? Did the assassination of “ the Engineer ” Yahya Ayyash in January 1996 avert or intensify terrorist attacks in Israel ? Who shouted , “ It ’ s a blank ! It ’ s a blank ! ” when Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was shot ? Who killed Zionist leader Chaim Arlosoroff in 1933 ? While it is true that former Prime Minister Menachem Begin already called for the creation of an official commission of inquiry about half a century later , that commission failed to identify the perpetrators . Maybe some new DNA samples have been found on the Tel Aviv beach.And finally , a proposal that relates directly to Steinitz as the country ’ s former finance minister . - Who helped to create the 40 billion shekel [ roughly $ 1.1 billion ] deficit in the state ’ s budget ? Shlomi Eldar is a contributing writer for Al-Monitor ’ s Israel Pulse . For the past two decades , he has covered the Palestinian Authority and especially the Gaza Strip for Israel ’ s Channels 1 and 10 , and has reported on the emergence of Hamas .

Convicted Felon Sentenced To 17 Years In Prison For Violating Federal Drug Trafficking Laws BOWLING GREEN , KY – A Warren County , Kentucky , convicted felon was sentenced in United States District Court by District Judge Greg N. Stivers to 17 years in prison followed by a ten year period of supervised release for his role in a conspiracy to distribute crystal methamphetamine announced United States Attorney John E. Kuhn , Jr . There is no parole in the federal system . “ This defendant has a long criminal history in the Bowling Green , Kentucky area , ” stated U.S. Attorney John Kuhn . “ This seventeen-year sentence will remove a large supplier of illicit and dangerous drugs from the community . The federal and local law enforcement partnership working to remove dangerous criminals from Warren County is very effective , and I thank the ATF and the Warren County Drug Task Force for their efforts. ” “ This armed drug trafficker has plagued the Bowling Green area for years , as evidenced by his statements and criminal history in four surrounding Kentucky counties , ” stated Stuart Lowrey , Special Agent in Charge of the ATF ’ s Louisville Field Division . “ We applaud the efforts of the law enforcement agencies participating in the Warren County Drug Task Force and this significant investigation , which will impact violent crime. ” Jason Borden , age 47 , conspired with Joshua Preston Moore , Charles Henry Ickes and others , to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine between December of 2014 , and February of 2015 , in Bowling Green , Kentucky , including during post-arrest , in March of 2015 , when Borden made calls from jail . During those calls , Borden directed Moore to collect money owed to him from the sale of methamphetamine and directed Moore to recover more than 50 grams of methamphetamine from where Borden had hidden the drugs , and directed Moore to distribute the recovered methamphetamine . Further , the conspiracy involved the shipment of one and a half pounds of crystal methamphetamine from Santa Rosa , California , to an address in Bowling Green for further distribution . According to the plea agreement , on February 13 , 2015 , members of the Bowling Green/Warren County Drug Task Force conducted a controlled delivery of the crystal methamphetamine to the Bowling Green address . A cooperating co-conspirator , who was the intended recipient of the shipped methamphetamine , agreed to deliver the crystal methamphetamine to the next intended recipient , Borden . At the time of the delivery , Borden was arrested . Agents recovered the package of crystal methamphetamine , approximately $ 3,600 in United States currency , digital scales and a loaded H & R Inc. , Model 732 , .32 caliber revolver loaded with six rounds of .32 caliber ammunition from Borden at the time of his arrest . Laboratory analysis of the crystal methamphetamine revealed that it was 100 % pure . At the time of his arrest , Borden relayed to law enforcement that he was affiliated with Outlaws , a motorcycle gang , and that he had previously sold pounds of meth . Borden is a felon with prior felony convictions in Warren County Circuit Court , Barren County Circuit Court , Christian County Circuit Court , and Logan County Circuit Court . Co-defendant Moore pleaded guilty to three counts of a superseding indictment on March 14 , 2016 and faces a minimum 15-year prison sentence . Co-defendant Charles Henry Ickes is scheduled for trial in Bowling Green before Judge Stivers on June 13 , 2017 . Assistant United States Attorney Jo E. Lawless is prosecuting this case . The Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms , and Explosives ( ATF ) , Bowling Green/Warren County Drug Task Force , and United States Postal Inspection Service conducted the investigation .

Mexico fireworks blast 'like a plane crash ' Tultepec ( Mexico ) ( AFP ) - One moment , the afternoon sky was clear . The next , it was echoing with the crack and thunder of exploding fireworks , filled with multicolored smoke . The apocalyptic scene tearing through the fireworks market in the Mexico City suburb of Tultepec struck terror into witnesses ' hearts . `` The earth moved , '' said Angelica Coss , a 25-year-old resident who lives just streets away from the market . `` It felt like a plane had crashed , like bombs were being dropped . '' `` I went up to the roof of my place and others were already there and we saw the market was blowing up . And all the smoke started to cover us , '' she told AFP . Inside the San Pablito market itself -- Mexico 's biggest with 300 stands selling tons of pyrotechnics -- horror was unfolding . `` You just heard the blast . And everything started to be on fire . People came running out on fire , '' Walter Garduno said . `` People were alight -- children , '' he added before trailing off . - Smoldering wasteland - Pops and thuds of multiple fireworks went off , sending flaming rockets into a busy crowd that had been shopping for Christmas and New Year 's festivities . The devastation reduced the market to a smoldering wasteland of ash , charred metal and concrete . It was another cruel blow to San Pablito , which had already suffered runaway conflagrations in 2005 and 2006 . Its vendors -- who operated with licenses issued by the defense ministry -- had boasted theirs was Latin America 's safest fireworks fair . But that claim was proven wrong when fireworks somewhere in the market ignited , setting off the catastrophic chain reaction that consumed the place within minutes . First responders were initially stymied by the continuous blasts going off in different parts of the market , spread over four hectares ( 10 acres ) next to a traffic intersection . The smoke choked them as they pulled out dozens of wounded people , most of them suffering burns . One of the first to dive into the disaster zone was Victor Hugo Samantes , whose relatives worked in some of the market stalls . They all managed to escape . `` It 's incredible because you 're used to seeing everything happening , people working , manning their stalls , '' he said , a mask covering his mouth . `` And now , to see it like this ... '' The blackened expanse that used to be the San Pablito market now contained hundreds of police and emergency workers . The authorities have started an investigation .

Opinion by Mason Johnson North Carolina 's bill limiting bathroom use of transgender and gender non-conforming citizens shares some similarities with a bill proposed by Illinois legislators , but there are also many differences . North Carolina 's legislation is a Frankenstein of a bill , broadly touching on the restroom rights of transgender people , minimum wage and anti-discrimination protections for veterans . Filed and passed in the same day , it 's questionable whether members of North Carolina 's legislature had time to understand the nuances of the bill . Illinois House Bill 4474 , referred to as the Child Privacy Act , solely deals with bathroom use at Illinois schools . Filed in January , the bill currently sits in the Human Services Committee . Will it become law ? On one hand , it may never make it out of committee . On the other hand , the bill is currently co-sponsored by 23 Republicans and six Democrats in the state house . Illinois State Representative Thomas Morrison ( R-Palatine ) referred to the bill as a compromise . `` I 've attended meetings with PFLAG , I 've tried to be knowledgeable from all perspectives , I 've heard tragic stories from students who do n't drink water during the day because they do n't know which bathroom to use , '' Rep. Morrison told me over the phone . `` That 's not appropriate , that 's not caring and compassionate . Why not create accommodations that are in the school building without interfering with the privacy rights of the other students ? '' The Child Privacy Act would require school boards to provide students uncomfortable with the bill 's ramifications with accommodations , albeit by request . This is the compromise Rep. Morrison is referring to : single-use bathrooms . Meggan Sommerville , a local organizer for International Transgender Day of Visibility on March 31st , knows what it 's like to be denied access to a bathroom for being transgender : Sommerville 's employer has been denying her access to the women 's washroom for years . Sommerville thinks bills like Illinois 's Child Privacy Act are horrendous . `` It puts a target on trans students ' backs , '' Sommerville told me over the phone . `` These are kids that are struggling to find their place and really live who they are , and now the state wants to tell them , 'No , you ca n't be who you are , regardless of how you present , how long you 've lived in your authentic gender . ' '' Bills like the Child Privacy Act dictate bathroom use with strict definitions of gender , usually relying on the gender individuals are assigned by a doctor at birth . Definitions of gender that solely rely on biology can be interpreted as offensive , since they disregard gender identity : people 's self-interpretations of gender . For those comfortable with the anatomy they were born with , it 's easy to disregard the idea of someone feeling distressed by their biological gender . But gender dysphoria -- the internal knowledge that you are not the gender you were assigned at birth -- is serious . Recognized by the American Medical Association as a condition that should be treated and covered by health insurance , it `` can result in clinically significant psychological distress ... debilitating depression and , for some people without access to appropriate medical care and treatment , suicidality and death . '' Treatments AMA recommends include mental health care and sex reassignment surgery . Before Rep. Morrison filed the Child Privacy Act , a Palatine school in his district was sued for barring a transgender student from accessing the girl 's locker room . Ultimately , the U.S. Department of Education found that the school district was in violation of the student 's Title IX rights . Emphasizing that the issue does n't necessarily fall along `` normal Republican , Democrat , religious , non-religious lines , '' Rep. Morrison said he talked to hundreds of people on the issue , from concerned parents to gay-rights groups . He claimed that most of the people he talked to want an objective standard for bathrooms , such as anatomy . At the same time , he acknowledged that school districts have a responsibility to provide accommodations for trans students . `` We do n't want to infringe on the rights of anybody , '' he said . While some constituents do call for bills that control which bathrooms transgender Americans can use , evidence of these bills ' need is thin . As opinion pieces at both CNN and The Daily Beast point out , in the more than a dozen states and hundreds of cities that have recently enacted laws protecting transgender people 's bathroom rights , law enforcement officials have reported zero bathroom attacks . You can find a handful of news stories from the past 20 years detailing attacks by men in wigs and dresses in women 's washrooms , or the occasional fistfight that involved a transgender person , but few of these cases actually happened in places that protected the rights of transgender people to use the bathroom . Not only are these instances statistically insignificant , but their connections to the transgender community are tenuous . For Rep. Morrison , the dynamics of bathrooms and locker rooms create a `` vulnerable place . '' Staunchly opposed to bullying , he argues the Child Privacy Act would protect all kids , transgender children included . `` There is a dynamic there unlike what we would see in a classroom , or a hallway , or a coffee shop , '' he said . `` There 's a reason why bathrooms are set aside . '' To Sommerville , lawmakers are not basing these bills on fact , but `` ignorance , fear and myths . '' `` These lawmakers need to sit down with a transgender student who has experienced this on a day-to-day basis , '' she suggested . After South Dakota 's republican Governor Dennis Daugaard did just that , he vetoed a bill restricting bathroom access for transgender people . While it 's difficult to find evidence that laws inclusive of the transgender community create unsafe environments , evidence that our society poses multiple dangers to transgender people is plentiful . The transgender community -- especially transgender people of color -- face some of the highest poverty and suicide rates . Hate crimes against transgender people have also been on the rise , according to FBI statistics . Arguably , laws that undermine the existence of transgender Americans are a greater danger than laws inclusive of transgender people . `` I know what these kids go through . Being refused . It 's an every-day occurrence for me , '' Sommerville said . `` And there are some days where I have the strength to handle it , and then there 's other days when being segregated to a unisex bathroom feels like I 'm being segregated to an eight by eight cell . It 's dehumanizing , it 's demoralizing , it 's embarrassing , and it does n't do anything to recognize the person 's true identity . '' In its current form , Rep. Morrison thinks Illinois 's proposed bill is a reasonable compromise , but also admits that it is n't perfect . `` If anyone wants to add a suggestion , I 'm open to that , '' he told me . `` I want to make my bill better .
