Catfish News: May 8

It’s time to check in with our intrepid Catfish News reporter and find out what the bottom-feeder has found for us in the crap that filtered down to the bottom of the tank. It looks like we’ve got a real winner in this story from Flori-DUH. Cops gone bad, sex and a shooting. Jerry Springer just wishes he could find stories like this. I’ll turn it over to “Catty” Couric to give you the details ...

Sergeant Arrested, Accused Of Shooting Man Over Sex
_{Saturday, May 06, 2006}

WEST PALM BEACH (PALM BEACH POST) — An off-duty Palm Beach County sheriff’s sergeant initially told police he shot a 21-year-old man for stealing his badge and nearly running him over. On April 21, Stuckey, 6-foot-2, 230 pounds and wearing a wig, ended up with a bullet wound in his left arm.

On Friday, Sgt. James Seigfreid, 48, ended up in jail. He was booked into Palm Beach County Jail on charges of aggravated battery, shooting into an occupied vehicle, use of a firearm while under the influence of alcohol and filing a false report. Seigfreid was called to the internal affairs division of the sheriff’s office at 3:30 p.m. Friday, where West Palm Beach detectives were waiting for him.

Seigfreid had told police that he was in his unmarked sheriff’s office vehicle at 23rd Street and North Dixie Highway in the early morning hours of April 21 to meet a friend. Seigfreid said a man solicited sex, then grabbed his badge, ran to a 1999 Nissan Altima and drove toward him. But West Palm Beach police found evidence to support Stuckey’s version of events.

Stuckey said he was hired to perform a sex act and decided to go back to his own car before it was finished. “Seigfreid exited his vehicle and began to yell at Stuckey for him to give back the $40.00 or finish the act,” the arrest report says. Seigfreid went after Stuckey. Stuckey saw him drop what looked like a wallet, discovered it was a badge, and asked for money to return it, the report says.

As Stuckey tried to drive away, Seigfreid fired from his.357 revolver. One bullet hit the Altima’s back door and the other went through the driver’s side window into Stuckey’s left arm. Detectives concluded the car was moving away from Seigfreid and found Stuckey’s fingerprints inside Seigfreid’s car. Seigfreid remains on administrative leave with pay from the sheriff’s office while the investigation is ongoing, spokesman Paul Miller said.

Stuckey was treated at Good Samaritan Medical Center and released. A woman who identified herself as Stuckey’s mother answered the phone at his Riviera Beach home Friday night. When told that the sergeant was arrested, she said, “One good thing happens, praise the Lord.” She said her son is out of the hospital, but not available for comment. “He’s having a difficult time,” she said.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
