money-laundering gang,
police discovered hundreds of
freshly made copies of a CD,
Proiibited Rap, which the
gang’s neighborhood — lieu-
tenants had intended as
Christmas presents for their
best cocaine customers.
Lamented one gang member,
“We were trying to do some-
thing special. What are we
going to give our people
now?”

On July 17, Michael
Adams, 13, got his arm caught
in au irrigation machine while
working alone on his family’s
alfalfa farm near Crane, Ore.,
and watched as the arm was
severed just above the elbow.
He picked up the arm, walked
100 yards to a vehicle, and
drove for help. Unable to
steer well, he crashed, but
walked to another vehicle,
which he drove to a friend's
home, and still comforted his
distraught parents when they
arrived. The arm was reat-
tached, and Michael is doing
fine.

Chutzpah!:
Timothy Marshall,

Inmate
39, peti-

tioned a Florida Court of

Appeal judge recently to
release him early in 2000, as
per the terms of his 1985 15-
year cocaine-trafficking sen-
tence. The only problem, said
the judge, was that Marshall
had escaped ii: 1987 and was
recaptured only two years ago

and now accuses the state of

“wrongfully refusing to give
him credit” for time served
while on the run. (Petition
denied.)

In September, Alexander J.
Blastos, 34, was arrested in
Florida and charged with writ-
ing a bad check for $9,600 to
cover the cost of a private jet
flight back to Keene, N.H., to
his court date on federal wire-
fraud charges. (However,
when New Orleans check-
forgery defendant Keefe
Anderson, 34, tried cto post
bail in October with a forged
check, it worked; Judge
Charles Elloie fell for it and
also accepted without investi-
gation Anderson’s bail peii-
tion with bogus addresses.
