According to a post on Tulsa polices Facebook page, officers responded on Friday to a report of a man trying to kidnap a woman near East 51st Street and Yale Avenue. The suspect, identified as Justin Arthur-Ray Davis, was a former coworker to the victim. Police said Davis has been stalking the victim for over a month after he resigned at their mutual workplace. She has made reports of Davis sitting outside her apartment and leaving candy and food on her doorstep. According to police, the victim was leaving for work and her husband was walking her to her vehicle when they spotted Davis sitting in his truck. Davis reportedly got out of the truck with a shotgun and ran after the couple. Police said the couple went back inside their apartment, and Davis shot through the door hitting the husband in the hand. Davis went into the apartment, grabbed the victim and dragged her down the stairs, assaulting her along the way, according to Tulsa police. Neighbors woke up to the chaos, called 911 and watched Davis choke and punch the victim, according to police. The victims husband came back downstairs to save the victim and Davis pointed the shotgun at him saying he would kill him if she didnt get in the truck, according to police. Davis then fired two shots into the air. Officers said when they arrived, Davis took off in his vehicle, leading officers on a pursuit down I-44. Davis took the East 21st Street exit when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed. Davis was taken to a hospital to be treated for a laceration to the head, and was then booked into Tulsa County jail. Officers recovered the gun and ammo, according to police. According to the Facebook post, Davis was arrested on complaints of kidnapping, shooting with intent to kill and first-degree burglary. DearWebby's Tech Support Pits From: Mannie Re: What are "Resale Rights" ? Dear Webby I have seen that phrase a lot lately, and now I see it even in your side menu. What are these "Resale rights" about ? Tks Mannie Dear Mannie Normally, when you buy a book or e-book or software, the author retains the copyright, and you go to jail or get a discouragingly big fine if you sell copies. However, some people want to get their message out far and wide, but they don't have a Multi Billion Dollar advertising budget like promoters of certain books. So they condense their books so that they are short enough for anybody's attention span, and they sell them cheap, for example for $5. Then, to further spread their books, they let each buyer sell copies to her or his friends and acquaintances, and make a bit of money. Usually they even provide nice sales pages customized for the reseller, so that all the reseller has to worry about is having a PayPal account to receive their money. What's in it for the author? Her or his name is spread a lot farther, and sometime in the future she or he can cash in on that fame by selling a slightly more expensive book. Will you get insanely rich by reselling some book? That depends entirely on how many you sell. If you sold five Million by Thursday, you would have twentyfive Million bucks in your PayPal account by the weekend. Yeah, right. But if you sell one to aunt Bertha, and a dozen to the people at work, and another dozen to the people to whom you forward jokes, that puts $125 into your account. Not bad for a $5 investment. Can you give somebody a free copy? No. When you buy it, you agree not to do that. You get reSELL rights, not give-away rights. In addition to that, if somebody just has a donated copy but has not paid their $5, then they don't get the sales page with THEIR PayPal button. In summary, it's not a get rich quick scheme, but a very low investment way to make grocery money or put gas into your tank, or to upgrade to a faster Internet connection. If you can afford to invest $5, go for it! Have FUN! DearWebby A businessman had a tiring day on the road. He checked into a hotel and, because he was concerned that the dining room might close soon, left his luggage at the front desk and went immediately to eat. After a leisurely dinner, he reclaimed his luggage and realized that he had forgotten his room number. He went back to the desk and told the clerk on duty, "My name is Henry Davis, could you please tell me what room I am in?" "Certainly, sir" said the clerk. "You're in the lobby." | If you can help with the cost of the Humor Letter, please donate what you can! | If you like my work,

_____________________________________________ Pastor Dave Charlton tells us, "After a worship service at First Baptist Church in Newcastle, Kentucky, a mother with a fidgety seven-year old boy told me how she finally got her son to sit still and be quiet. About halfway through the sermon, she leaned over and whispered, if you don't be quiet, Pastor Charlton is going to lose his place and will have to start his sermon all over again!' It worked." ____________________________________________ A college drama group presented a play in which one character would stand on a trap door and announce, "I descend into hell!" A stagehand below would then pull a rope, the trapdoor would open, and the character would plunge through. The play was well received. When the actor playing the part became ill, another actor who was quite overweight took his place. When the new actor announced, "I descend into hell!" the stagehand pulled the rope, and the actor began his plunge, but became hopelessly stuck. No amount of tugging on the rope could make him descend. One student in the balcony jumped up and yelled: "Hallelujah! Hell is full!" ____________________________________________ A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again. Finally she spoke up, "Grandpa, did God make you?" "Yes, sweetheart," he answered, "God made me a long time ago." "Oh," she paused, "Grandpa, did God make me too?" "Yes, indeed, honey," he said, "God made you just a little while ago." Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "God's getting better at it, isn't he?" ____________________________________________ | Ophelia Dingbatter's NewsNo sermon and not suitable for church, just jokes and fun for grownups.
