Apr. 23—Charges have been filed against a Stillwater man accused of armed robbery in March.

Glen Lee Caswell, 25, was charged with burglary in the first degree and robbery with a firearm.

Stillwater Officer Greg Calloway responded to the OnCue at Perkins and McElroy Road.

The alleged armed robbery occurred March 10 at 320 E. McElroy Rd.

The two victims alleged they walked to the convenience store to call 911 due to Caswell allegedly taking their phones.

According to the probable cause affidavit, one of the victims was asleep on the couch, "when she heard someone banging on the door," Calloway wrote in the affidavit.

The victim on the couch alleged she tried to look through the peephole, but it "appeared someone was covering it up."

The male in the house was contacted, and the affidavit said as the male was making his way to the front door, the door burst open.

A man then entered the residence wearing a mask.

According to the probable cause affidavit, Caswell allegedly hit the male with a pistol and demanded money from him, before moving into the living room to demand money from one of the female victims.

She dumped out her purse and Caswell allegedly demanded all her change to be counted and then put into his backpack.

Calloway wrote in the affidavit that he was told the victims were scared due to Caswell allegedly making threats.

"Glen kept telling everyone that he was going to shoot everyone if in fact they did not cooperate," Calloway alleged in the affidavit.

It was said by the victims that Caswell left the residence after he took everything he could.

One of the victims was able to positively identify Caswell by his tattoos because they were friends on Facebook.

Caswell hasn't been arrested at this time, but an arrest warrant has been issued with a bond of $50,000.

Kyle Bruce, the Public information Officer, said "officers are aware of the warrant. Like most warrants issued information is provided to detectives and officers. If information is received of a possible location officers will attempt to follow-up on the lead."

Bruce said at this time SPD is not actively looking for Caswell, but if any leads are received they will follow-up.

    Hundreds of mourners, wearing face masks and weeping, filled a Minneapolis church on Thursday for the funeral of Daunte Wright, a Black man whose shooting by police after a traffic stop has sparked fresh concerns over the way cops treat people of color. Wright, 20, who was shot by a white police officer in a Minneapolis suburb on April 11, was laid to rest two days after a Minneapolis jury found a white police officer guilty of murdering George Floyd last May, a killing that triggered worldwide protests for racial justice. While the conviction brought a measure of satisfaction to people calling for an end to brutality and racism in policing, Wright's death served as a reminder of the daily risks facing Black people during encounters with police.

  • U.S. ends J&J COVID-19 vaccine pause

    The United States can immediately resume use of Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine, top health regulators said on Friday.The announcement marks the end of a 10-day pause to investigate the vaccine's link to extremely rare but potentially fatal blood clots.Janet Woodcock is the acting FDA Commissioner:"After a thorough review of all available data, the FDA and CDC have concluded that the possibility of this so-called thrombosis thrombocytopenia syndrome occurring is very low. But the investigation into the level of potential vaccination-related risk will continue to be ongoing.Together both agencies have full confidence that this vaccine is known and potential benefits outweigh its known and potential risks in individuals 18 years of age and older."Out of 8 million shots administered in the U.S., experts found 15 cases of blood clots.Women aged between 30 and 39 were found to be at the highest risk.The FDA said it would provide an updated fact sheet for vaccine recipients and providers.The U.S. decision to resume use of the vaccine follows a similar one made by the European Medicines Agency, which on Tuesday said that the benefits of the J&J shot outweighed its risks.Unlike Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines, J&J's one is given in a single dose and can stored at regular fridge temperatures.These features make it a better option for use in hard-to-reach areas.Johnson & Johnson has faced several other setbacks since its vaccine gained U.S. emergency authorization in February, including drawing scrutiny over production shortfalls.

  • George W. Bush Says He Wrote in Condoleezza Rice in 2020 Presidential Election

    Former President George W. Bush recently revealed that instead of voting for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, he wrote in the name of former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. “She knows it,” Bush reportedly told People magazine of Rice, who served as secretary of state during his presidency. “But she told me she would refuse to accept the office.” In 2016, Bush and former first lady Laura Bush did not cast votes for a presidential candidate, voting only for Republican candidates in down-ballot races, his spokesperson said. Bush’s decision not to vote for his party’s nominee two presidential cycles running may be the product of bad blood between the Bush family and Trump in the wake of the 2016 GOP primary. During the 2016 race, Trump repeatedly insulted Bush’s brother, Jeb Bush, who also ran a 2016 bid for the presidency. While campaigning, Trump also criticized the Bush legacy and blamed George W. Bush for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Though Bush has been critical of the GOP in recent promotional interviews for his new book Out of Many, One: Portraits of America’s Immigrants, he used the People interview to walk back his recent harsh appraisal of the party. In an interview with NBC’s Today that aired Tuesday, Bush called the GOP “isolationist, protectionist and, to a certain extent, nativist.” He later toned down his remarks in his interview with People: “Really, what I should have said — there’s loud voices who are isolationists, protectionists and nativists, something, by the way, I talked about when I was president.” “But I painted with too broad a brush … because by saying what I said, it excluded a lot of Republicans who believe we can fix the problem,” he added. While promoting the new book, which features portraits of American immigrants, Bush has said he hopes to usher in a more “respectful tone” on Capitol Hill. The mission of the book, he said, is to help change Congress’ outlook on the country’s immigration policy. “Please put aside all the harsh rhetoric about immigration,” Bush said, addressing Congress in an interview with CBS News that aired Sunday. “Please put aside trying to score political points on either side.” Bush, a Republican who served as president from 2001 to 2009, has supported a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants given they pass a background check and pay any back taxes.

  • Joy Behar says she misgendered Caitlyn Jenner on The View because she 'didn't get enough sleep'

    Joy Behar is apologizing "if anybody was upset" that she repeatedly misgendered Caitlyn Jenner on The View, blaming it on not getting "enough sleep." Behar drew criticism on Friday after she incorrectly referred to Jenner using "he" or "his" multiple times during a segment about the former athlete's California gubernatorial run, per Mediaite. While Behar did also use the right pronouns throughout the segment, she had to correct her wrong pronoun usage more than once. She subsequently apologized on the air. "Let me apologize for my pronoun mix-up," Behar said. "I think I just didn't get enough sleep last night. I had no intention of mixing them up, and I tried to correct it immediately, but whatever. It just came out. So I'm sorry if anybody was upset by that." Behar's misgendering of Jenner had been called out on Twitter while The View aired, with journalist Yashar Ali taking note of it and writing, "I don't know why Joy misgendered her but it's an important reminder that we don't misgender people even if we don't like their politics." "I think I just didn't get enough sleep last night."

  • Indian Super Rich Flee World’s Worst COVID Outbreak on Private Jets

    BENOIT TESSIEREight private jets carrying India’s super wealthy—and potentially the coronavirus—landed in London ahead of the U.K.’s 4 a.m. ban on travel from India, according to the London Times. The U.K. added India to its “red list” of pandemic-stricken countries. As of Friday, any Britons returning from India must quarantine for 10 days in a government-approved hotel. All non-British or non-Irish citizens will be banned entirely from entering the country if they have been in India in the previous 10 days. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had to cancel his own state visit to India scheduled for next week as a “precautionary measure.”The last of the luxury airliners to arrive, VistaJet Bombardier Global 6000, which left Dubai Thursday to collect passengers in Mumbai, landed at 3:15 a.m., just 44 minutes before the restrictions took place.The private jet passengers were fleeing unimaginable horror back home. At least 14 COVID-19 patients perished in a devastating fire that ripped through an ICU ward in one of India’s overcrowded hospitals about 70 miles outside Mumbai. The fire that broke out around 3 a.m. Friday morning was contained and extinguished, but not before 14 patients—many who were intubated and hard to evacuate—had died. “Around 90 patients were admitted to the hospital at the time of the incident,” Dilip Shah, the head of the Vijay Vallabh Hospital where it happened, said in a statement Friday. Black Market Hospital Beds and Price-Gouged COVID Drugs Selling on Indian TwitterOne eyewitness, Avinash Patil, told reporters outside the hospital that no doctors were present at the time. “I got a call at around 3 a.m. from a friend whose mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital,” he said. “As I reached the hospital, I saw fire engines outside. The ICU on the second floor was engulfed in smoke. Only two nurses were there, and I couldn’t see a doctor. It took firefighters about half an hour to put out the flames. We could see eight-10 bodies there.”Shah, the hospital chief, insisted all safety norms were followed and that “doctors were present,” according to local media reports. Earlier in the week, an oxygen leak in Maharashtra state, near where the fire broke out, resulted in the death of 24 COVID-19 patients who were on ventilators.To make terrible matters even worse, India reported its highest one-day number of cases, recording 332,730 new infections in a 24-hour period. In the same period, 2,263 people died with COVID-19.India has been overwhelmed by new cases coupled with a critical shortage of oxygen, hospital beds, and now ventilators. Many desperate families have been forced to turn to black-market price gougers who have been able to buy hospital space from corrupt administrators.The spike in cases comes as political rallies are still being held and after a month-long religious ceremony continues to bring millions of people to the Ganges River.India Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been criticized for not calling a national lockdown to try to mitigate the spread and for hosting rallies ahead of elections in May. Government officials have said the previous lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic was economically devastating to many manual laborers who then traveled by foot from home cities to their villages, carrying the virus with them. The fire at a COVID-19 hospital in Virar is tragic. Condolences to those who lost their loved ones. May the injured recover soon: PM @narendramodi— PMO India (@PMOIndia) April 23, 2021 Modi called the ICU fire “tragic” and offered condolences over Twitter. Many of the comments on his tweet begged him to call a national lockdown to try to save lives. In a shocking expose published in Time magazine, Indian journalist Rana Ayyub paints a horrific picture from the ground, writing about states essentially hijacking oxygen trucks and stealing supplies for their own hospitals, and disturbing allegations of underreporting deaths. Ayyub lays the blame for the debacle squarely on Modi’s shoulders, accusing him of ignoring the fact that his Trump-style rallies are super-spreader events, and for letting the ball drop on vaccines.“Why was India caught unprepared as the second wave ravaged a cross-section of Indian society?” Ayyub writes. “The responsibility lies with a strongman regime that has ignored all caution.”Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.
