A manhunt was under way Saturday for a man wanted in the death of a child whose body was found inside a central California home during the search for a missing 8-year-old girl.

The body was discovered at a home in Merced on Friday, several days after relatives of Sophia Mason told police in the San Francisco Bay Area city of Hayward that they had not had contact with the girl since December, and that she was known to stay at different locations between Hayward and Southern California.

The missing person report led Hayward police to arrest the girl’s mother, Samantha Johnson, 30, on a warrant stemming from a case of child abuse in Alameda County last year, the Merced police department said in a statement Saturday.

Her statements led police to serve a search warrant at the house in Merced, where her 34-year-old boyfriend Dhante Jackson resides, the statement said.

Investigators said they believe Jackson went on the run after news spread about the search of his home.

Merced police said investigators were working to identify the body. They did not release the cause of death.

Johnson was being held for investigation of murder. She will be transferred to the Merced County Jail to face charges, police said.

A warrant was issued for Jackson’s arrest. Police said he is known to frequent the Bay Area

A 30-year-old Hayward woman, being held for child abuse in Santa Rita jail, was charged with murder along with her boyfriend Saturday hours after she led police to a Merced home where a child’s body was discovered.

Merced police said Samantha Johnson now faces a murder charge along with her boyfriend, 34-year-old Dhante Jackson of Merced, who has Bay Area connections. He remains at large and is the focus of a statewide manhunt.

“Jackson resides at the home where the deceased child was found,” police posted on Facebook. “Soon after news spread about Jackson’s home being searched, he went on the run.”

Meanwhile, the Merced County Coroner’s Office was trying to determine if the child’s body was that of Johnson’s missing 8-year-old daughter, Sophia Mason

Since Tuesday, Hayward police have been searching for Sophia. Johnson was arrested Thursday evening after giving investigators suspicious information regarding her daughter’s whereabouts. She eventually gave Hayward police enough information to have them ask Merced police to check out a home on Barclay Way.

Once inside the home, detectives discovered the body.

“Detectives interviewed Johnson about the deceased child found in the residence that she led police to in the city of Merced,” police posted on Facebook. “Johnson was ultimately arrested for the charge of murder and remains in custody at the Santa Rita Jail. Johnson will be transferred to the Merced County Jail.”

Merced police were asking anyone with any information regarding this incident to contact Detective John Pinnegar at (209)388-7712 or by email at [email protected].

Famous Twins Consuela and Allie Jones Shooting Caught On Live

The Famous Twins, whose real names are Consuela and Allie Jones, have been arrested following a shooting that was caught on Facebook Live. According to police reports the Famous Twins were seen on video firing gunshots that left two people injured. For some reason the Famous Twins aka Consuela and Allie Jones were not charged with attempted murder charges. If you have never heard of the Famous Twins they are a pair of sisters who are famous thanks to TikTok and Facebook. For whatever the reason they decided it would be good for their image to put all of their dirt on Facebook Live and other social media platforms

Famous Twins More News

A pair of Mobile twins who are TikTok famous were arrested Thursday after they allegedly fired guns in a local park, wounding two people, including a teenage girl, police said.

The incident at Maitre Park was livestreamed, which Mobile’s top cop surmised was intentional and done to gain social media clout, according to Fox 10.

Consuela and Allie Jones are known as the Famous Twins through their handle @fam0us.twinsss on Instagram and TikTok, where they have a million followers.

Following a fight in Maitre Park, a livestream showed a woman firing gunshots as the crowd scatters, according to Fox 10.

A 16-year-old girl and a woman were injured from the gunfire and were expected to be O.K., the outlet reported.

Mobile Metro Jail records showed the twins were charged with second-degree assault in connection with the incident.

Mobile Police Chief Paul Prine told Fox 10 he hopes the livestream leads to more tips about the incident, although he said he was “disgusted” by it.

Prine said he believed cell phone cameras may have been rolling to help the twins gain even more of a following on social media.

“I think that it’s important to note that maybe in that particular incident that the video was intentional, and it was to gain attention. Either for social media or for some sort of reward whatever the case may be,” Prine said. “It seems like especially with the younger generation, they solicit some type of following or gathering from these types of incidents. But nevertheless, that’s an unfortunate incident, but the video certainly aided in developing the identity of the suspects as well.”

For one half of the Famous Twins, Thursday’s arrest was not their first brush with the law.

Consuela Jones, also known as Sway Bentley, found herself in Mobile Metro Jail in September on a slew of charges, including second-degree possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, pistol carrying with a permit, second-degree domestic violence and burglary.

The charges were filed following a fight between her and her sister.

Christopher Gregor Charged With Sons Murder

Christopher Gregor is a man from New Jersey who has been charged with the murder of his six year old son. According to police reports Christopher Gregor would force the child to run for hours on a treadmill as he deemed the child to be too fat. Gregor would continue to increase the speed of the treadmill and at one point appeared to be biting his son. All of the abuse was caught on the fitness center cameras. Christopher Gregor who was initially charged with child endangerment had a murder charged added as Corey Micciolo died from blunt force injuries to the stomach and chest however the exact manner of death has not been released. If convicted of the murder charges Christopher Gregor faces life in prison as New Jersey does not have the death penalty.

Christopher Gregor More News

A township man accused of child endangerment was seen on surveillance video being abusive to his own young son two weeks before the boy’s death this past spring, according to court documents.

Christopher Gregor, 29, and the six-year-old child were seen in video taken in the gym of the clubhouse at Gregor’s housing complex on March 20, according to the affidavit of probable cause from Gregor’s July arrest.

In the affidavit, police said the video shows Gregor putting his son on a treadmill before increasing the speed to the point where the child falls off.

Gregor then appears to bite the child’s head while getting him back onto the exercise equipment and repeating the same cycle, making the machine run faster until the boy falls off, again.

He falls several more times from the speeding equipment, according to the complaint warrant.

Though not identified by police due to his young age, Corey has been publicly memorialized by his mother, Breanna Micciolo, of Englishtown, since the boy’s sudden death at an Ocean County hospital on April 2.

The Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office has stressed that circumstances leading to the child’s death remain an active investigation.

Micciolo has created a Facebook group, called “Justice for Corey,” from which she has accused Gregor of repeatedly abusing their young son.

An attorney for Gregor disputes those claims, telling News 12 that he believes his client will be vindicated.

Evidence that Gregor had committed acts of abuse against the child on March 20 was recovered after the boy’s death, Ocean County Prosecutor Bradley Billhimer said on Monday.

Micciolo and some supporters were outside the Ocean County Courthouse on Thursday, some holding signs, according to the Facebook group.

They planned to revisit the area outside the courthouse on Friday, as Gregor was slated for a detention hearing.

Saucy and Honey Target Fail

Saucy and Honey are a couple who post videos on YouTube and their latest video “24 HOUR OVERNIGHT CHALLENGE IN TARGET!! (CAUGHT?!?)” ended with both of them facing up to seven years in prison. Saucy and Honey whose real names are Johnson Larose, 25, and Charlotte Fischer, 24, decided to do the whole 24 hour challenge like a number of other YouTubers so they went into a Target store in Pennsylvania and hid behind boxes while the store shutdown. Once the Target was closed they would film themselves running around the empty store. Of course when they would post the video to YouTube Saucy and Honey would attract the wrong kind of attention and be charged with criminal trespassing and are now facing up to seven years in prison. The video by the way has a little over 66,000 views at the time I am writing this, March 12, 2022.

Saucy And Honey More News

Chester County couple is facing trespassing charges for sneaking into a Target store in Exton last month to film a “challenge” video for their YouTube channel.

The incident happened Feb. 21 at the Target on Sunrise Boulevard off Route 100, according to investigators.

Johnson Larose, 25, and Charlotte Fischer, 24, allegedly went into the store just before closing and hid behind boxes to create content overnight for their “Saucy and Honey” YouTube page, which has picked up about 17,800 followers since the couple joined the platform in 2020.

A 25-minute video posted on the channel on Feb. 21 shows the couple walking around the darkened store, dancing in front of product displays and describing the noises they heard in the empty building. Oddly, the store still had music playing overnight.

Larose and Fischer initially thought their escapade hadn’t been noticed, but West Whiteland Township police told FOX29 the couple tripped an alarm when they left using an emergency exit around 3 a.m. Police said the couple returned to the store around 8 a.m., though at one point in the video, Fischer is shown inside the store and mentioned it was after 4 a.m.

Officers initially came to the store in response to the alarm, they didn’t find anyone at the Target, police said. They only discovered the couple had been there after reviewing surveillance video.

Larose and Fischer did not steal anything from the store, police said.

West Whitehall Township Detective Scott Pezick told FOX29 that Larose and Fischer were fortunate the situation didn’t create a tense encounter with police.

“When you go to a burglary call you have a heightened sense of awareness. Suddenly, you see somebody in there or maybe they get spooked and run, our officers are well-trained, but it’s not a great situation for anybody,” Pezick said. “They weren’t out to harm anybody, but we want to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

A description on the “Saucy and Honey” YouTube page describes the channel as a place for vlogs, pranks, challenges and travel

Larose and Fischer were each charged with criminal trespassing and conspiracy, according to court documents. They were released on $25,000 unsecured bail and are banned from visiting any Target stores in Pennsylvania. Their next hearing is scheduled for March 24.

The “Saucy and Honey” page has since posted several other videos, including the latest, “Surprising My Boyfriend with GRANNY UNDIES to See His Reaction.”

This is before the couple’s time, but the whole “trapped in a Target scenario” was done with much more drama and entertainment in the 1991 movie “Career Opportunities” with Jennifer Connolly and Frank Whaley.

Vinath Oudomsine Sent To Prison Over Pokemon Card

Vinath Oudomsine was sentenced to three years in prison over a Pokemon card. Well not exactly as it seemed Vinath Oudomsine used $57,000 that he received from illegally getting a coronavirus grant loan to buy the Pokemon card. So as part of the agreement Vinath Oudomsine agreed to plead guilty to one count of wire fraud and had to give up the Pokemon card and received a three year prison sentence. Now I never knew that Pokemon cards were considered so valuable that 57,000 dollars would buy you a single card. I hope Vinath Oudomsine has made it up a good story to tell other prisoners why he is locked up for admitting the truth is going to get him a lot of odd looks

Vinath Oudomsine More News

Federal prosecutors say a man used a pandemic relief loan to buy a $57,000 Pokémon card.

Court records show Vinath Oudomsine is charged with lying on an application for a pandemic economic relief loan about the number of people his business employed and the company’s gross revenue. The Dublin, Georgia, man faces one count of wire fraud.

The court filing said Oudomsine received $85,000 in August of last year, and used the money to buy a Pokémon card for $57,789.

The Telegraph of Macon, Georgia, reports that defense lawyers issued a statement declining to talk about the case

Rare Pokémon cards can sell for thousands of dollars. Collectors have been bidding up prices for trading cards, video games and other mementos.

Dublin, a city of about 16,000 people, is located about 130 miles southeast of Atlanta.

Vinath Oudomsine Other News

A Laurens County, Georgia man has been sentenced to federal prison after admitting he lied to obtain a COVID-19 disaster relief loan, then used a large portion of the money to buy a collectible trading card.

Vinath Oudomsine, 31, of Dublin, Ga., was sentenced to 36 months in prison after pleading guilty to one count of Wire Fraud, said David H. Estes, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Georgia. U.S. District Court Judge Dudley H. Bowen also fined Oudomsine $10,000, ordered him to pay restitution of $85,000, and to serve three years of supervised release after completion of his prison term.

There is no parole in the federal system.

“Congress appropriated funding to assist small businesses struggling through the challenges of a global pandemic,” said U.S. Attorney Estes. “Like moths to the flame, fraudsters like Oudomsine took advantage of these programs to line their own pockets – and with our law enforcement partners, we are holding him and others accountable for their greed.”

As described in court documents and testimony, starting on or around July 2020, Oudomsine applied to the Small Business Administration (SBA) for an Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) ostensibly for an “entertainment services” business in Dublin that Oudomsine claimed had 10 employees and gross revenues of $235,000 in the 12 months preceding the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of fraudulent representations on Oudomsine’s application, the SBA deposited $85,000 into Oudomsine’s bank account on Aug. 4, 2020. Oudomsine later used $57,789 of the funds to purchase a Pokémon trading card. Oudomsine agreed to forfeit the Pokémon card – “Charizard” – as part of the prosecution.

“The SBA Office of Inspector General continues to safeguard taxpayer dollars by protecting SBA programs from fraudsters seeking to gain access to pandemic assistance through deception,” said SBA OIG’s Special Agent in Charge Amaleka McCall-Brathwaite. “OIG remains committed to rooting out bad actors and protecting the integrity of SBA programs. I want to thank the U.S. Attorney’s Office and our law enforcement partners for their dedication and pursuit of justice.”

“COVID-19 disaster relief loans are issued by the government to help businesses struggling to survive during a pandemic, not to use for trivial collectible items,” said Philip Wislar, Acting Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “This sentence highlights the FBI’s commitment to aggressively pursue anyone who would abuse taxpayer dollars and divert them from citizens who desperately need them.”

Anyone with information about allegations of attempted fraud involving COVID-19 can report it by calling the Department of Justice’s National Center for Disaster Fraud (NCDF) Hotline at 866-720-5721 or via the NCDF Web Complaint Form at: https://www.justice.gov/disaster-fraud/ncdf-disaster-complaint-form.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Small Business Administration Office of Inspector General, and an investigator from the U.S. Attorney’s Office investigated the case. Oudomsine was prosecuted for the United States by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Jonathan A. Porter and Patrick J. Schwedler, and Asset Recovery Unit Chief Xavier A. Cunningham handled forfeiture in the case.
