ERO Philadelphia says Leo Robert Jackson was taken into custody September 16 and has a record that includes failure to comply with sex-offender registration requirements.
PHILADELPHIA, PA — Immigration officers arrested Leo Robert Jackson, a Liberian national with a child rape conviction and a final order of removal, according to an October 16 announcement from ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations Philadelphia office.
The agency said officers arrested Jackson on September 16. Its announcement did not identify the arrest location.
ERO Philadelphia described Jackson as unlawfully present in the United States and listed convictions for rape of a child, forgery, simple assault, criminal mischief and failure to comply with sex-offender registration requirements.
Agency reports Jackson is in custody
Jackson has “a final order of removal,” the agency wrote. The announcement ended: “Now in ICE custody!”
The ICE post did not provide the dates or jurisdictions of his convictions, details of his sentences or a timetable for removal.
The ordinance bars new roosters while allowing birds already legally kept under existing permits and in approved enclosures to remain.
BRICK TOWNSHIP, NJ — New roosters are getting shut out of Brick Township after the Township Council unanimously approved a ban aimed at persistent crowing in residential neighborhoods.
The measure follows complaints that officials said had become one of the township’s most frequent quality-of-life problems. Residents already legally keeping roosters under existing permits and in approved enclosures will be grandfathered.
Business Administrator Joanne Bergin said the noise extends well beyond sunrise.
“They crow all day long,” Bergin said. “It’s a constant stream.”
Crowing complaints drive council action
Bergin described rooster complaints as the township’s second-largest complaint category. Officials said enforcement had proved difficult because the birds often stopped crowing before police arrived.
Council Vice President Derrick Ambrosino said the proposal went through multiple Land Use Committee discussions before coming before the council in the Ocean County township.
“This is something that has been discussed during a couple of Land Use Committee meetings,” Ambrosino said during the earlier discussion.
Existing permitted roosters can stay
The ordinance does not require residents with legally permitted roosters and approved enclosures to remove their birds. It prohibits residents from adding new roosters.
Councilman Gregory Cohen greeted the proposal with poultry jokes during the discussion, while acknowledging the complaints behind it.
“I just can’t believe we’re up here talking about roosters,” Cohen said. “It’s the first time I’ve had to ruffle so many feathers over a wake-up call.”
The council’s unanimous approval moves the measure beyond the introduction stage reported in September.
The daycare’s operator faces firearm charges after a 2-year-old allegedly retrieved the weapon from an unzipped fanny pack within reach of children.
RICHMOND, VA — A 2-year-old pulled a loaded gun from an unzipped fanny pack and put it in their mouth at a Richmond daycare while two staff members looked at their phones, according to a state inspection report.
The child then placed the weapon on a table near five other children at Thrive Learning Center East on Cofer Road, according to the Virginia Department of Social Services report.
Martha Evans, who operates the daycare, faces charges of possession of a firearm on school property and reckless handling of a firearm, WTVR reported, citing court records.
Loaded weapon sat on a stack of cots
Evans and two other staff members were caring for eight children on September 25 when the incident occurred, investigators wrote.
The report said Evans left the gun “accessible to children” inside the fanny pack on a stack of cots about 2½ feet above the floor.
While the toddler handled the weapon, Evans and another employee were looking down at their phones, according to investigators. A third staff member had her back turned while putting socks on another child.
The charges against Evans are allegations, and the supplied account does not establish an outcome in the criminal case.
