A man beheaded a woman at an Oklahoma warehouse and attacked another woman before being shot, police say.

The incident happened late Thursday afternoon at a Vaughan Foods processing plant in Moore, Okla., about 10 miles south of Oklahoma City. According to KFOR, Alton Nolen, 30, had just been fired when he drove to the front of the business, hit another vehicle and walked inside. He tracked down 54-year-old Colleen Hufford and attacked her with a knife.

He stabbed her several times, eventually severing her head, KFOR reported, citing police. He then sought out another woman–identified as 43-year-old Traci Johnson–and began attacking her. Mark Vaughan, an Oklahoma County reserve deputy and a former CEO of the business, shot Nolen, who’s in stable condition at a hospital.

The FBI is now involved in the investigation. Federal agents are looking into claims from workers that Nolen had recently converted to Islam and tried to get co-workers to join him.

Police are investigating a shooting on Charles Avenue in Lexington, where one man was shot twice. It happened at around 10 p.m. on Friday near the intersection of Hickory Street.

Martin faces another charge for the 1995 murder of his cousin, Joseph Martin. During questioning, Lonnie Martin admitted to pushing Joseph in front of a train in Clark County.

The Winchester Sun reports that Lonnie Martin will head to court May 4, 2015.

The Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) has received reports related to a telephone scam in which the caller purports to be an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) representative. Using intimidation tactics, the caller tries to take control of the situation from the beginning. The caller advises the recipient of the call that the IRS has charges against them and threatens legal action and arrest. If the recipient questions the caller in any way, the caller becomes more aggressive.

http://liarcatchers.com/fraud_investigation.html

The caller continues to intimidate by threatening to confiscate the recipient’s property, freeze bank accounts, and have the recipient arrested and placed in jail. The reported alleged charges include defrauding the government, money owed for back taxes, law suits pending against the recipient, and nonpayment of taxes.

The recipients are advised that it will cost thousands of dollars in fees/court costs to resolve this matter. The caller creates a sense of urgency by saying that being arrested can be avoided and fees reduced if the recipient purchases moneypak cards to cover the fees within an hour.

Sometimes the caller provides specific instructions on where to purchase the moneypak cards and the amount to put on each card. The caller tells the recipient not to tell anyone about the issue and to remain on the telephone until the moneypak cards are purchased and the moneypak codes are provided to the caller. The caller states that if the call is disconnected for any reason, the recipient would be arrested. Some recipients reported once the caller obtained the moneypak codes, they were advised that the transaction took too long and additional fees were required.

Call recipients, who are primarily immigrants, reported that the caller spoke with broken English or stated the caller had an Indian accent.

If you receive a call similar to this follow these tips:

• Resist the pressure to act quickly
• Report the contact to TIGTA at http://www.treasury.gov/tigta by clicking on the red button, “IRS Impersonation Scam Reporting.”
• Use caution when asked to use a specific payment method. The IRS would not require a specific payment method such as a moneypak card or wire transfer
• If you feel threatened, contact your local police department
• File a complaint at www.IC3.gov

A Louisville physician was charged today, by a federal grand jury, with prescribing medications that resulted in the death of a patient, as well as multiple counts of unlawful distribution of controlled substances, health care fraud and money laundering announced David J. Hale, United States Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky.

According to the superseding indictment, George Kudmani, age 69, between July 29, 2009 and May 3, 2010, executed a scheme to defraud Medicare that ultimately resulted in a patient’s death on May 5, 2010. According to the charge, Kudmani fraudulently submitted claims for medically unnecessary services and dispensed medically unnecessary controlled substance prescriptions to the patient, in exchange for money, knowing that the patient would fill her prescriptions at pharmacies and pharmacies in turn would submit claims to health care programs for reimbursement. It’s alleged that those prescriptions ultimately resulted in the patient’s death.

Further, defendant Kudmani is charged with a second count of health care fraud for falsely and fraudulently billing Kentucky Medicaid (Passport) and other medical benefit programs by submitting claims for medically unnecessary Transvaginal Ultrasounds (TVS), TVSs not performed, and billing for TVS reports that were never prepared for patients, between January 2009 through September 2012.

The superseding indictment charges Kudmani with eleven additional counts, (for a total of 22) of unlawful distribution and intentionally distributing and dispensing controlled substances, not for a legitimate medical purpose and beyond the bounds of a professional medical practice, between July 2009 and September 2012. The controlled substances allegedly prescribed were Oxycodone, a schedule II controlled substance, and Hydrocodone, a schedule III controlled substance.

In addition, Kudmani is charged with one count money laundering for purchasing a 2012 Honda Accord with $15,000 in cash and a $5,971.63 check from money derived from an unlawful activity, that is the unlawful dispensing and distribution of controlled substances and health care fraud.

Beginning in December of 1980, Kudmani operated an obstetrician/gynecological medical practice located at 9702 Stonestreet Road, in Louisville, Kentucky. The practice did not employ any other individual with medical training. A typical first-time patient would pay $75 for a gynecological exam, and each visit thereafter, the patient would typically pay $35 in cash and receive a Schedule II-V controlled substance prescription without a physical examination.

Kudmani was initially charged in a 14 count indictment on December 4, 2013. If convicted at trial, Kudmani faces a maximum potential penalty of life in prison, a fine of $14,500,000, and a five year period of supervised release.

This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Joseph Ansari and Lettricea Jefferson-Webb and was investigated by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Kentucky Medical Fraud Control Unit and Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD).

The indictment of a person by a Grand Jury is an accusation only and that person is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

A Minnesota medical examiner on Thursday ruled the death of a North Dakota State University student who went missing last weekend a homicide.

The Ramsey County medical examiner’s office said Thursday it had determined that Thomas Bearson, 18, of Sartell, Minnesota, died as the “result of homicidal violence.”

Bearson’s remains were found Tuesday outside an RV store in south Moorhead. He was last seen at a party early Saturday in Fargo, North Dakota. Police in Moorhead said Bearson was wearing a blue baseball cap, blue Sartell High School track and field shirt and khaki shorts.

It’s unclear whether law enforcement authorities have identified a person of interest. Shortly after the body was found, Fargo Police Chief Keith Ternes said police weren’t looking for any suspects. The investigation into Bearson’s death is a collaboration between the Moorhead and Fargo police departments and the NDSU campus police.

Authorities are asking for the public’s help to locate Bearson’s cellphone and a shoe. Police described the missing items as a white Nike Air Jordan left-foot tennis shoe, size 9 ½, and a silver iPhone 5.

Bearson, who was enrolled in the university’s nursing program, was living in a residence hall on campus before his disappearance. He graduated earlier this year from Sartell High School, where he was a standout basketball player.

Sartell athletic director John Ross heard the news while at a school athletic event Thursday night when a reporter called, the St. Cloud Times reported.

“This is going to be tough on the kids,” Ross told the newspaper.
