We’re not sure who got to play the Chris Hansen part, but we do know the sting worked as 23 year-old Mohammad Teimoortagh of St. Charles is in custody on Attempted Sexual Trafficking of a Child, Attempted Statutory Rape and several other horrible charges.

Though as you can tell by the mugshot, he’s not worried. “Hey yo! Solissatatin’ a minor?! Fagetta ’bout it! It’s one of those tings ya know? I’m horny, yadda yadda yadda, I might have tried to proposition a 14 year old. Bada big, I’m in here. What? You wanna do something about it?!” We know he’s a midwesterner of apparently middle eastern descent, but that picture screams New York accent to us. Whatever, just go with it.

The car of Jerry Lee, the Director of the Missouri Department of Public Safety, was robbed burglarized Sunday morning in Forest Park, netting the thieve one gun, two Department of Public Safety badges and a GPS unit.

It’s the GPS unit that really scares us. Everyone in St. Louis has a gun, but this guy’s got a gun and a map. He’ll find whoever he wants to find.

We were forwarded a “Public Awareness Bulletin” from the City of Shrewsbury last night, and while we have to imagine that vast majority of email you get being on this mailing list is horribly boring, this one was a keeper.

A female motorist has reported that, on July 30, 2012 at approximately 9:00 P.M., she was traveling northbound on Shrewsbury Avenue from Weil Avenue when she noticed the following vehicle traveling behind her [flashing red and blue lights].

An ice cream truck stopped outside the O’Fallon Place apartment complex in North City was the scene of two different robberies happening at the exact same time…and they both happened after the thugs had paid for their ice cream.

19 year-old Ronell Ross, handed his money to the ice cream truck driver’s 10 year-old son just moments before he busted inside, putting his gun against the head of the woman driver while her son plead for her life. All while outside the truck, a man who had been talking to the driver was being robbed at gunpoint as well. The ice cream was also probably way overpriced, but it seems off-color to call the price of your Rocket Pop “highway robbery” while this was going on. You can get a whole box at the store for the same price people, that’s all we’re saying.

It’s Friday and we’ve got no energy for a setup. Talk to us Mr. Blockquote!

A couple in Belleville had a little too much summer fun when they decided to swim completely naked in their neighbor’s pool.

The two were reportedly drunk at 11:30 a.m. when officers arrived in the 200 block of North Fourth Street.

Well well! Now we’re talking! A little day time drunken skinny dip? What’s wrong with that officer? Why does the man always have to bring us down? These people are just trying to have a good time! Maybe it’s a little illegal, maybe a kid caught a glipse, but lighten up! What did these probably super attractive people look like anyway?

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but that’s more of a rule of thumb applied to plain-looking or even slightly worn covers, it doesn’t apply to book covers that show some creepy glassy-eyed weirdo rubbing familiar looking panties on his face and you’re not sure where his hands are. You’re not buying that book. It’s ok to judge that one because it’s so obviously gross, just being caught lingering while you look at it might get you put on some government list.

St. Louis used to be the kind of place where some people would complain about how the streets were unsafe, but the government and the police would claim it’s not that bad, tell us how they’re working really hard, and show us all how it’s getting better.

That day is gone. Even the police, people who wear armor and have been trained to carry weapons, have decided they’d rather just not be out there.

A Wright City, Missouri man got himself in to some trouble over the weekend after he appeared to booby trap his truck with fake dynamite and a grenade. We’re not sure his Ford Ranger was in that much danger of being stolen to begin with, but as the backwoods guy saying goes: “Better crazy than sorry! …and don’t wipe with pinecones…and try not to ever comb your beard…also we’re against deodorant for some reason.” It’s a long saying.

A woman was sitting at a South City bus stop when two men asked her if she had any marijuana. She didn’t. Big mistake.

Police say the woman told the two men she did not have any marijuana and they walked away. Ten minutes later, the suspects allegedly came back and tried to rob the victim.

During the robbery, police say the woman was shot once in the upper arm.

Your parents always told you to never give up  on chasing your dreams, and while that’s a nice thought, applying that has a blanket statement to all dreams isn’t a great idea. Take Pedro Chavez of O’Fallon, MO (right). His dream was to molest a 13 year old girl, and sadly, he didn’t stop chasing it until the police arrived.

A man from O’Fallon, Mo., faces felony charges after police said he attempted to molest a thirteen-year-old girl, left her apartment, and then reentered the apartment and tried to molest her again.
