COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - A former deputy with the Richland County Sheriff’s Department was arrested after allegedly stealing money from (REGISTERED PERSONS).

RCSD said 31-year-old Jessica Way was arrested Monday and charged with petit larceny.

The department said the charge was linked to an internal audit from July 16 that showed a $410 cash discrepancy from ... registry receipts.

The audit information was then given to the sheriff’s department’s criminal investigations division to open a case. According to authorities, the investigation found Way allegedly stole money from (Registrants) in small amounts as they came to register.

RCSD said Way was terminated on July 24 and confessed when questioned about the crimes. The department said she was employed there for just under four years in the ... registry unit.

Records show Way was booked at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center before posting a $2,125 bond on Monday.

His last name may be Hy but he goes low: Crooked Buffalo NY cop gets prison VFW post shut down

The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) had created Post 12226 inside of Sterling CF. It was an opportunity for veterans currently serving time to find a way to serve their communities despite their pasts. As noted on the VFW website, “The Post hopes to serve as an example for other prisons across the country, which could create a boon for VFW membership. “We are the pilot program setting the model for all future Posts formed inside any other prison around the country,” said Post Commander Tom Stewart, a Navy vet who served aboard the USS Tripoli during Operation Vigilant Warrior in the mid-1990s. The decision to grant the Post’s charter was not without controversy. “Some have a hard time seeing incarcerated people as veterans,” said Stewart, who has been incarcerated for 19 years. “We must change that paradigm. We must show we can be better than our mistakes.” (“‘We Can Be Better Than Our Mistakes’” VFW, 8/27/24, https://www.vfw.org/media-and-events/latest-releases/archives/2024/8/we-can-be-better-than-our-mistakes) The VFW even ranked Post 12226 among the best in the nation; they even held successful fundraisers within prison walls. 

Enter Richard Hy, a controversial and corrupt officer with the Buffalo PD. Hy, a 37-year-old detective with the Buffalo PD and an Army reservist who has completed two combat deployments. Though Hy has been banned by TikTok and blacklisted on Facebook, he runs the controversial YouTube channel Angry Cops in which he delivers military and law enforcement news through a barrage of shouted insults, crude humor, and belligerent mockery. 

A report from the NY Attorney General's Law Enforcement Misconduct Investigative Office from 2024 found that Hy “engaged in a pattern of misconduct of escalating encounters with civilians, including by using physical force, discourtesy, and unprofessional conduct” and suggested that the Buffalo PD should create a plan to monitor Hy's conduct and impose consequences for any future misconduct. Hy was guilty of misconduct when he intentionally backed his patrol car into a motorcycle, knocking over the bike and the driver, the attorney general found.  He was discourteous and used excessive force when, while responding to an armed robbery report, he cursed at a 14-year-old suspect, calling him “fat boy,” then shoved him and pushed him against a patrol car.  And he violated the department’s professional standards when he berated then-state Supreme Court Judge Mark Grisanti, whose long-running feud with his North Buffalo neighbors had turned into a street brawl, according to the report. (See: https://ag.ny.gov/sites/default/files/2024-12/755b-findings-r-hy-bpd.pdf) He received a mere lecture and loss of 15 days of vacation time. Hy claims, however, that he’s lost promotions due to his controversial social media channel, and rightfully so.

In September. 2024, Hy posted a 17-minute video about Post 12226 on YouTube. “The VFW is hurting for members so bad that they’re going to prison in order to recruit veterans,” an unshaven Hy yells into the camera. “It’s not hard to be involved in a little bit of controversy when the people in the VFW post in prison are convicted murderers, rapists, and pedos!” Hy showed mug shots of Stewart and other Post 12226 members. He described their crimes. He made fun of the post’s fundraising efforts. “I don’t know how much money they’re fundraising,” Hy says in his video. “We getting an extra bag of Cheetos from the commissary and giving them to kids? … And what community are they outreaching to? They’re literally locked up. Their community is a community of felons, murderers. What are we doing here?” Hy ended with a call to action: “If I happened to be a post commander of a VFW somewhere, I think I would raise hell and say these sycophants don’t represent me, and we don’t want them in our brotherhood.” He included a link for viewers to contact the VFW. The video got more than 250,000 views and 17,000 likes. Over 1,700 YouTube comments piled up. “The only VFW these things should belong to,” one user wrote, “is Veterans For the Woodchipper.” (Source: “Everyone Loved a Colorado Prison’s VFW Post—Until a Popular YouTuber Heard About It” 5280.com, Apr. 2025. https://www.5280.com/everyone-loved-a-colorado-prisons-vfw-post-until-a-popular-youtuber-heard-about-it/)

Unfortunately, this Joe Rogan wannabe succeeded in getting this pilot program shut down. Buffalo PD refuses to properly discipline a rogue cop who bullied a program in another state to help prisoners do even something small to make amends for their past actions. It seems counterintuitive to me. While his last name may be Hy, Richard’s actions are very low.

Pepin Le' Pew: Shady ex-Poway CA councilman Brian Pepin abanons his city to harass a Registrant in FloriDUH

It seems everywhere Brian Pepin goes, he leave controversy in his wake, including after leaving his job as Poway CA city councilman to move across the continent into the festering cesspool of south FloriDUH, leading to controversy over his replacement. 

As noted in this social media post:

"Pepin became Senior VP of 1892 LLC in Dec 2021. He also has a local political consulting business. That explains Pepin‘s ability to bring in around $100,000 for his campaign to run for D1 council seat, which also began back in 2021. It probably also explains Pepin's adeptness at “dirty tricks” like the hacking of Hiram Soto’s account and changing his profile picture to that of a terrorist, and then using the fake profile pic in campaign flyers."

"Dirty tricks and misinformation are not new for Brian Pepin. In 2020, he signed an FPPC stipulation and was fined $2500 for failing to disclose who paid for a campaign hit piece in 2018. A fine like that might be disheartening to a community activist who doesn’t have the big bucks supplied by special interests, but to Brian Pepin, it is just a slap on the hand, and did not stop him or the Lincoln Club from doing more of the same."

A corrupt politician moving to the most corrupt state in the US? That's par for the course. Pepin Le' Pew is already stinking up his new community by harassing a neighbor.

Brian Pepin, a father of three and former member of the Poway City Council in California, publicly called for stricter sex offender residency restrictions during Tuesday’s St. Johns County Board of Commissioners meeting.

Now a political consultant, Pepin recently moved to St. Augustine with his family and said that a registered sex offender moved directly across the street from their home.

He shared the emotional impact this has had on his family during the public comment period.

“Last week we learned that the guy that moved in across the street was arrested a few years ago for having child porn,” Pepin said. “He’s got a Ring doorbell trained on my house. I’ve got these three young kids.”

Pepin noted that his wife has been deeply affected, saying she has been “crying herself to sleep at night.”

He also expressed frustration with current laws, stating, “There’s nothing that we’ve been able to figure out how to address this.”

He praised deputies from the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office for responding to their concerns but acknowledged that within current legal boundaries, little could be done.

Pepin highlighted differences in sex offender residency restrictions across counties in Florida. In St. Johns County, offenders must live at least 1,000 feet from playgrounds and schools, whereas Duval and Miami-Dade counties have a 2,500-foot requirement.

“That won’t help us but it might be something to look at,” he said...

Texas State Representatives should not let their third-place "trophy wives" suggest bad legislation

Democratic Texas State Representative Eddie Morales was the primary sponsor of a bad piece of legislation--Texas House Bill 1777, which was meant to add a Mark of the Beast to the State ID/Driver's Licenses of Persons Forced to Register. Thankfully, this bill failed. Marking licenses just to cause more harm is something more befitting of Trumpian Republicans. 

Rep. Morales admits it was his ditzy partner, Hellen Martinez-Morales, that pushed him to introduce this bad piece of legislation. Hellen fancies herself as some kind of trophy wife, but if she's a trophy wife, she'd be for a third-place finish at best, but more of a participation trophy. 

Word of advice, Hellen--stay in your lane and stick to trying to be a "social media influencer," although it is failing, just lie HB 1777 failed.
