Friday night the deadline ordered by the Mayor’s office gave passed, and so police converged on downtown’s Kiener Plaza to disperse the Occupy STL protestors. Many did just that, but 27 were arrested and dude…you’re not going to believe this…but like…they went to the same jail as like people that totally broke laws and junk! Eww!

KMOX’s Brad Choat, on the scene outside the jail Saturday afternoon  reports one of the protesters was released shortly before 2 pm.  She is a 37-year-old woman from St. Jacob, Illinois who says she was kept in a cell with eight other women, including two non-protest prisoners.

You mean they don’t segregate people that broke laws from other people that broke laws in jail? How is the city of St. Louis not magically creating cells per group crime depending on the arrested person’s personal view of the severity of their crime?! Are we animals?!!?!?! Someone call Dateline to look in to this!

The woman who was released says jail conditions were terrible…

Ok, but you know it’s jail right? So were they terrible for a jail, or just terrible in general? What were you expecting? Whole Foods pizza and a guy with no shirt playing Dave Matthews Band songs like back in the heady days of Occupy STL before the cops came and ruined the vibe? You were arrested, dumb ass.

…and adds that, while she’ll be back in Kiener Plaza during the day, she’ll  be leaving before the 10pm curfew time to keep from being arrested again.

The system works! Finally, St. Louis has managed to reform someone! It was bound to happen eventually.

No, nothing illegal here officer….oh ok, yeah, that gun. I meant nothing illegal other than that gun. Wanna autograph?

St. Louis native and current Denver Broncos running back Laurence Maroney was arrested Sunday night for unlawful weapons and drug charges. Let us guess: All that stuff belonged to your buddies and you didn’t know they had it?

“Mr. Maroney was unlawfully arrested for possession of weapons. He holds a permit to carry a concealed weapon and he had his permit on his person when he was arrested. He was not arrested for any drugs nor was he involved in a high speed chase. He was released without being charged with any offense and we do not anticipate he will be charged with any criminal offense,” according to the statement given to KMOV.com.

Mugshot! (We’d so do that with our hair if we could. That or the Kid n’ Play “House Party” look. Spazy and un-combed straight hair is pretty close though. Word.)

Police reports contend that a 25-year old (Maroney’s age) was indicated that he had a valid conceal and carry permit, didn’t have it on him, and was arrested for possessing a firearm while under the influence of drugs. That report conflicts, to some degree, with the statement above.

Lets say he does have that gun legally, and maybe he wasn’t smoking any of the drugs, and maybe he was just high-speed chase adjacent…but that seems like an awful lot of crimes to be around without being involved in any of them doesn’t it? At best, Maroney, the former New England Patriot, needs some new St. Louis friends, but at worst he could be looking at a stiff punishment for any of those crimes he “witnessed”.

Playing for the Denver Broncos last year might count as “time served” though, so he might be ok after all.

This post has an update, see below!

Ryan Huff, a Production Director and Producer for all sports-talk station KFNS (590 AM) was arrested in Arnold and charges were filed that included raping underage girls.

Apparently Huff met the girls on “an internet chatroom,” which could mean anything since I’m guessing the reporter on the KMOV video I watched doesn’t know the difference between this very site and and actual “internet chatroom.”  After the meeting online, the two went to the movies, on a “date,” and then back to a house where they were joined by another 13 year old girl.  Shortly after her arrival they started partaking in sexual activity.  Huff’s alleged Playskool Orgy was noticed only after photos were taken and the girls where showing them around school!

Unfortunately for Huff, current Missouri state and federal laws don’t allow you to add the ages of your simultaneous sexual partners together to try to get a number above 18.

Check out the video (Because who the hell would ever want to link to an actual written piece?!) on KMOV’s website…oh and don’t fuck with Larry Conors.
