BREAKING NEWS
 MAY 16 2012
 

Livingston County MI Sheriff Bob Bezotte said the victim in today's accident at Hartland High School was a security officer and is still listed in critical condition at the University of Michigan hospital.

The female security guard was hit by a car today in the parking lot of the High School, according to principal Chuck Hughes.

"She was in and out of consciousness, so that's a good sign," he said.

According to Bezotte, excessive speed and drugs may have played a factor in the accident.

 

"Speed is a factor as well as possible marijuana use since we found marijuana in the car," he said. "But that has to be verified."

The suspect came in for drug testing and was released to his parents and a search warrent was issued. Results from the drug test could take up to 3 to 6 weeks, according to Bezotte.

According to 16-year-old Melissa Maloney who was riding two cars back from the accident, the female security guard was hit by a teen driver in a black Sable and thrown into the air.

"She was hit by the front left of his corner and she flew up in the air, I thought she flew off the back end of the car, it was pretty high," she said. "Then she hit the truck and then hit the cement."

 

Malonie said the driver was upset and confused after the accident.

The security guard, who according to Hughes has been directing traffic at the high school for 12 years, was unclear what happened during the accident.

 

The name of the guard is being withheld.

GRANITE CITY, Ill. - Two security guards at a southwestern Illinois hospital are accused of causing the death of a 42-year-old man authorities say was asphyxiated while the defendants restrained him.

A Madison County grand jury on Friday indicted 28-year-old Charles Knapp and 21-year-old Dylan Ritchie involuntary manslaughter in the December death of Anthony Burkey.

 

Authorities say Burkey was arrested in Pontoon Beach after he allegedly punched a neighbor's door during a psychotic episode.

Officers took Burkey to Gateway Regional Medical Center in Granite City. Prosecutors say that's where he was awaiting a psychological evaluation when guards were called to his room. During a struggle, authorities say, Burkey was pinned to the ground by Knapp and Ritchie and stopped breathing.

FONTANA CA. A security officer has been shot during a robbery attempt at a jewelry store and a gunman is dead.

The botched robbery occurred about 2 p.m. when three men entered the Fontana Indoor Swap Meet at 9773 Sierra Ave. About 100 customers and vendors were inside at the time.

At least two of the men began beating the security guard with a hammer-like object and a gun, he said.

The men then walked to a nearby jewelry store and tried unsuccessfully to break the glass casings, police said.

A robbery suspect and the security officer exchanged gunfire and the suspect was

killed.

The security officer has been transported to a hospital with gunshot wound and head injuries and there is no word on his condition at this time.

At least two other men escaped in a vehicle, according to Sgt. Pat Mackey of the Fontana Police Department. Police did not have a description of the suspects.

More than 37,000 assaults were committed against contract and proprietary security officers, loss prevention agents and private police, resulting in more than 13,700 injuries.
There were 114 security officer “on-duty” deaths from homicides, accidents, and industrial-related incidents. Eleven security officers committed suicide while on-duty. But actual death totals are believed to be 12%-20% higher than the reported figures indicate.
The breakdown of deaths show there were:
54 Gunshots
11 Stabbings
19 Trauma assaults
10 Car accidents
6 Industrial accidents
14 Unclassified incidents

The average age of the security officer killed in the line of duty was 38.
