Police Say Sumlar Is A Dangerous Counterfeiter
Law enforcement sources tell AMW that Dante Sumlar is wanted by the U.S. Secret Service and three different police departments — St John’s and Nassau County Sheriff’s Offices in Florida, and the Houston Texas Sheriff’s Office — and is under investigation by even more for his work as check counterfeiter, a profession that has netted hundreds of thousands of dollars in misgotten spoils.

He is also wanted for questioning for a 2006 homicide in Jacksonville, Fla. Police say this is a dangerous and wily man who has developed quite a reputation for taunting the authorities who pursue him.

It wasn’t the last time he had taunted the police. He has even called up officers to turn himself in — without keeping the appointment.

Jacksonville, Fla. Police Detective Elizabeth Sutherland clearly remembers the day last year when she was eating lunch at a Red Lobster and received a crudely written note on the back of a receipt from a server.

It said, “Lunch on me, Dante Sumlar. Mrs. Sutherland, have a nice day.”

Sutherland, who cops say works as a counterfeiter, instantly recognized the name. She had arrested him many times before, and she knew he was a wanted man.

Sumlar, though, had already left unseen after having an extravagant meal. He hadn’t left any money with the server to actually buy Sutherland’s lunch, knowing that a sworn officer couldn’t accept the gift. He was just going out of his way to tease the police after more than two years on the run.

“He must have seen me come in,” she says, “and instructed the server to wait until he was leaving to deliver the note.”

It wasn’t the last time he had taunted the police. He has even called up officers to turn himself in — without keeping the appointment.
Cops Call Sumlar A Crafty Ringleader
In 2000, Sumlar was identified as a major ringleader of a counterfeiting scheme. Investigators say he and his cohorts would recruit from the down-and-out — immigrant laborers, drug addicts, and the homeless — to cash fake checks through parts of Florida, Georgia, and Alabama. Sometimes, cops say, Sumlar’s group fooled the men into doing real labor, or had them wear fake uniforms, just to add the illusion of authenticity to the scam that netted hundreds of thousands of dollars. Other times, Sumlar threatened their lives to keep them in line.

Sumlar and six other individuals were caught and arrested, spending three years in prison. It was in prison, though, where he laid the groundwork for his next counterfeiting scheme. Investigators say he found a loophole in the way prisons credit inmate commissary accounts, which he plotted to exploit.

As soon as he was released, cops say, he started to recruit people to be arrested for small-time crimes in Florida county jails in order to deposit fake checks in their accounts. He was running this scheme until 2006, when he was caught apparently trying to cash a fake check. Authorities say he posted bail and fled before the totality of his schemes — over $150,000 — was revealed.

While on the run throughout the South, cops tell us Sumlar continues to run counterfeiting schemes. And in December 2006, cops say one of Dante’s partners in Jacksonville, Fla. was gunned down. The last person he was supposed to be meeting with was Sumlar himself.

Authorities say Dante Sumlar has achieved an “almost Billy The Kid, cult-like status” while on the run, and they need your help to track this armed and dangerous criminal down.

Wife: Fugitive husband is no child molester
Says he won’t hurt daughter on purpose, but she worries

POSTED Feb. 21, 2008 12:11 a.m.

When Jerry Norman Jones heard early Friday morning that he was wanted by authorities for allegedly violating the conditions of his bond, he told his estranged wife in a phone conversation that he wanted to read the Bible and pray.
At the time, Jones was free on $40,000 bond after being charged with molesting four of his third-grade students at Gainesville Elementary School.

Sometime in the next two hours after the phone call ended, Jones packed up his Ford Taurus, scooped up his sleeping 4-year-old daughter Madison Kerr, and fled to parts unknown.

As of late Wednesday, Jones, 51, remained a fugitive, wanted on an arrest order signed by a Hall County judge Feb. 12, three days before he fled.

A homeless man spotted Michael Mazza and called police, leading to his capture. The homeless man received a $2500 reward for his efforts.

The post about Michael Mazza is here

This man is armed and dangero0us and last seen in a suit and tie since he was being transported to court when he escaped. Somehow he was able to get a gun away from the deputy sheriff who was transporting him. He then shot the deputy and threw the deputy out of the van and took off.


As I write this, schools in the area have been shut down and there is a massive manhunt for Michael Mazza. Police have found the transport van so obviously Mazza is either in hiding or has been able to aquire a second vehicle.

The suspect was identified as Michael Mazza, 40, of Coral Springs. Mazza, who was in civilian clothes and not a prison outfit, last seen going westbound on Hammondville, said Sheriff’s spokesman Elliot Cohen.


“This is a man who has nothing to lose,” Cohen said. “The best lead we have right now is that van.” Cohen confirmed that the van has been found outside a Flannigan’s restaurant at Southwest 27th Avenue and Davie Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale.


Mazza was being transported from a Pompano Beach jail to Fort Lauderdale for 9 a.m. court appearance before Circuit Judge Paul Backman for a Coral Springs robbery. His charges are robbery while wearing a mask, fleeing law enforcement, reckless driving and two counts of armed robbery.

Published: September 29, 2007


GULF BREEZE, Fla., Sept. 25 — To neighbors here, J. D. Roy Atchison was a deft federal prosecutor, an involved father and a devoted volunteer, coaching girls’ softball and basketball teams year in and year out.


Mr. Atchison, 53, was arrested getting off a plane in Detroit on Sept. 16 and charged with the unthinkable. The authorities there said he was carrying a doll and petroleum jelly, and that he had arranged with an undercover agent to have sex with a 5-year-old girl.


What the authorities saw in the Internet sting operation that led to Mr. Atchison’s arrest was a man who led a second life as “fldaddy04,” the moniker on a Yahoo profile traced to him. “I adore everything about young girls,” the profile says, “how they talk, think, act, walk, look.”


The police in Michigan said Mr. Atchison had been chatting online for two weeks with an undercover detective for the Macomb County Sheriff’s Department, who posed as a mother offering to let men have sex with her young daughter. When she expressed concern that sex could injure the girl, according to court documents, Mr. Atchison responded, “I’m always gentle and loving; not to worry; no damage ever; no rough stuff ever ever.”


He added, “I’ve done it plenty.”

Shawn Sherwin LaBeet is the name of the shooter in Miami who is being sought for shooting 4 police officers. Two other names were previously reported as the shooter’s name. First it was thought that Kevin Wehner was the shooter, then a girlfriend lied to police and said the shooter’s name was Robert Parker.


This is an update to the earlier story reported at Most Wanted Newspaper;

One Miami-Dade police officer was shot dead and three others wounded late Thursday morning after they stopped a man driving erratically through a Southwest Miami-Dade County neighborhood.


The man opened fire on the officers with a high-powered weapon before fleeing, police said. Law enforcement officers from across South Florida swarmed to the scene to assist in the search for the fugitive. Streets and local highway exits were closed to seal off escape routes. Cars were stopped and trunks searched. The search later extended to Central Broward County, where the suspect was reportedly sighted at mid-afternoon.

The search for the culprit was complicated when police initially released an erroneous identification and photograph for the suspect. Almost five hours after the 11 a.m. shooting, police identified another man, 25-year-old Shawn Sherwin LaBeet, as the correct suspect. They said a second photograph they released was the correct one.

In another apparently erroneus lead, Miami-Dade police at about 4 p.m. reported a sighting of LaBeet behind the wheel of a black Pontiac Vibe accompanied by a woman and two children in Central Broward County. The auto soon after was located, empty, at a Target parking lot in Oakland Park, where it was roped off with yellow tape. But after locating the occupants, police then said the man driving the car was not LaBeet.

Suspect Shawn Sherwin LaBeet, 25, is being sought by police in the shooting of four Miami-Dade police officers. One has died. His name was misreported as Robert Parker. That information was false.

Manhunt On For Suspected Cop Killer


(AP) A gunman armed with a high-powered weapon killed a Miami-Dade County police officer and injured three others Thursday and then fled, causing authorities to descend on a residential neighborhood in a large manhunt, officials said.


Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Alvarez confirmed that one of officers died. All four had been brought to hospitals, but authorities refused to release further information on them because they were trying to notify their families.


At first, investigators incorrectly identified the suspected shooter as Kevin Wehner, but he is actually hundreds of miles away in the Jacksonville area and was not involved in the shootings, said police spokeswoman Linda O’Brien.
