A Columbia, Missouri man with active warrants stood in the street Friday night pointing guns at passing cars before threatening 911 dispatchers and police — and he was still free to do it until a SWAT team finally took him down. When consequences are rare, standoffs become routine.
Glen Lee Parey, 53, was reported to police at around 11:45 p.m. Friday after witnesses saw him standing near the 1400 block of West Worley Street and pointing firearms at passing vehicles, according to ABC17News. Parey called 911 himself to threaten dispatchers and officers. It took CPD's SWAT and Crisis Negotiations Team to bring him in. He was charged with fourth-degree assault, second-degree harassment, unlawful use of a weapon, resisting arrest, misuse of 911 — and those active warrants that apparently weren't enough to keep him off the street in the first place. No injuries reported. This time.
The pattern repeats across the country. In Newport, Vermont, 41-year-old Geromy J. Wells was arrested Thursday on the Newport Boardwalk after police found him extremely intoxicated, according to MassLive. Once in custody, Wells kicked and head-butted the police cruiser, spat at officers, and attempted to bite them. He was charged with assault of a protected professional, assault with bodily fluids, obstruction of justice, disorderly conduct, and violations of conditions of release.

He also has 13 — thirteen — prior convictions. A man with a rap sheet a mile long gets released with a promise to behave, and days later he's trying to sink his teeth into cops. What exactly did the court think was going to happen?
In Baton Rouge, an 18-year-old is now sitting in East Baton Rouge Parish Jail on charges of principal to second-degree murder and obstruction of justice after a June 28 shooting left 19-year-old Kaleb Stampley dead, the Baton Rouge Advocate reported. Detectives say Stampley met the suspect in a dark-colored vehicle and the two exchanged gunfire. Two teenagers, one dead, one facing life — and the question of what prior contacts with the system either of them had goes unasked.
And in Laguna Beach, California, 36-year-old Safford Wolfson — a biological male who identifies as a transgender woman — was arrested Thursday on suspicion of murdering his 61-year-old mother, Angela Caprioli, whose body was found Monday in her Rim Rock Canyon home, Breitbart reported. A neighbor told the California Post he'd seen mother and son arguing hostilely before the killing, and that police had been frequent visitors to the address over the years. Wolfson's social media accounts describe him as a
