Jones also tried but failed to force his way inside two other apartments during the foot chase, said Director Tom Hackney of the S...

Flipping houses is always a gamble, but it's not typically as bad a bet as authorities say it was for investors who trusted Benjamin Myung Sik Rose . The 35-year-old Colorado Springs man stole more than $450,000 from multiple people through a Ponzi scheme from August 2016 through April 2017, according to an arrest warrant. He pretended to be a licensed contractor who fixed up and resold houses, but instead gambled away the money he took from investors, police say. He was not a contractor, did not buy houses and used altered bank statements , emails from banks and property deeds as part of his scheme, the affidavit says. To keep the victims investing, he provided initial returns using other investors' money, investigators said. Rose turned himself in Aug. 17 after police obtained a warrant for his arrest on suspicion of forgery and multiple counts of theft, all felonies. He previously was arrested Jan. 2 on suspicion of defrauding his in-laws, John and Johanna Moe, out of ...

BETHANY, Oklahoma - A victim was pistol-whipped during a series of armed robberies in the metro. As the two suspects carried out the crime spree, authorities said the violence only escalated. Hiladio Rodriguez said he got into his van about 9:30 p.m. Monday to head out for work. He no more than buckled his seat belt when two men approached the driver side window and held him at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Foxcroft Apartments. Rodriguez said they demanded his phone and money. So, he handed over his wallet containing $600. The suspects repaid him by striking him in the face with a handgun. "The guys come in and have a gun and hit him in the head," Rodriguez described the attack. According to police reports, Braedon Buford,17, and Jared Magness,16, have been identified as the suspects. They allegedly "went on robbing people" Monday night at the Bethany Square Apartments .  Bethany detectives said a man named Jose was the next victim. He was also held at gunp...

On Aug. 9, 2007, Lansing police discovered the beaten body of 46-year-old Debra Renfors in her apartment in the 1000 block of North Washington Street . Renfors was the third woman to be bludgeoned to death in the city in two weeks, and a grim reality was beginning to set in. Det. Sgt. Joey Dionise confronted Captain Ray Hall , giving voice to a fear that had been bubbling for days. “Captain,” Dionise said, ”We have a serial killer. Years later, Hall still remembers the “sinking feeling” that accompanied that moment. Ten years ago this month, Lansing was in the grip of a killer who preyed on single women, using whatever was convenient to murder them, and, in some instances, sexually assaulting them. Before police caught him, he had killed five women in just over four weeks. A sixth woman would survive. Matthew Emmanuel Macon , then 27, was eventually convicted of two of the murders, and the assault of the surviving victim. When detectives got Macon in an interview room, it would take ...
