[SC] Ex-cop husband of Judy Orr (Baldwin) arrested, charged with her murder

Judy Orr McWaters (Baldwin)

Ex York Police Officer James Harold Baldwin has been indicted by a grand jury and arrested for the beating death murder of his wife Judy on Dec. 14, 2016 - which he staged as accidental. James initially claimed that Judy had hurt herself falling while putting up Christmas decorations and then was killed in the crash that happened as he tried to get her to the hospital. The indictment says Baldwin “inflicted or caused to be inflicted blunt force trauma” to his wife’s head, causing her death. Family members had pushed for the case to be investigated since Judy was killed. Judy's sister said, “It’s sad that my sister’s life ended in pain.” From Judy's obituary, she was the owner and operator of Judy's Personal Touch, a member of Woodward Baptist Church, a member of the church's Women's Missionary Union, and member and secretary of the Carolina Thunder Christian Motorcycle Club. James Baldwin had also formerly been a police officer at the Columbia Police Department and a police dispatcher for the Chester County Sheriff’s Office. Since Judy's death James Baldwin is also accused of burning down a roommate’s trailer in York County, then trying to defraud the insurance company after the fire. Those charges are also still pending. [Google him here to follow his court case]

[FL] Said-suicide of Corrections Officer Charlotte Mae Webb (2005)

Corrections Officer Charlotte Mae Webb is said to have killed herself on July 29 of 2005. She's gone and can't say a word. What we know comes from 2 different Marion Correctional Institution supervisors who were both supposedly having a relationship with her and who both had much to lose - married Assistant Warden Gustavo Mazorra and married Sgt. George Sherrets. Charlotte's body was found on the floor of her home and she is said to have overdosed on antidepressants but no reference to testing was reported in the news so we don't know if it was assumed because of an open pill bottle or something of that nature. Charlotte is an officer and deserved a full outside investigation. 

WARDEN'S PAST INCLUDES AFFAIR WITH SUBORDINATE
May 9, 2010
[Excerpts] ...Nicketta Webb sees the [Marion Correctional Institution] prison every time she pulls out of the driveway of her small ranch across the street. It remains a raw reminder of her daughter. “He knew better,” she said. “He’s the assistant warden. He’s held to a higher standard.” Five years ago her daughter, Charlotte, was an entry-level corrections officer carrying on a dangerous affair with the prison’s second-in-command [assistant warden, Gustavo Mazorra]. It was one of several reckless decisions Charlotte made in the months before she [allegedly] took her own life. The assistant warden was transferred but never disciplined for the inappropriate relationship. He escaped sanction, and this spring earned the promotion of his career: He became the warden at the Zephyrhills Correctional Institution... Mazorra declined to discuss his affair with Charlotte Webb and the events of five years ago. “I made a stupid mistake”... Mazorra was shuttled 50 miles away to Lancaster Correctional Institution in Trenton, where he took a “voluntary demotion” to colonel... But the incident was never treated as a disciplinary matter. There was no internal investigation. No reprimand. No letter of counseling in Mazorra’s file. No suggestion of any missteps in the evaluation that followed seven months later, when Mazorra received a perfect 5 in the leadership category that covers professionalism with subordinates... The only critical memo in Mazorra’s file was dated Feb. 4, 2000, when he allowed the postage machine to run out at a Miami-Dade prison, delaying the delivery of outgoing mail. “Behavior of this type cannot be, and will not be, tolerated,” the memo said... [T]he affair wasn’t treated as a disciplinary matter because no policy had been violated. Nothing in the prison code of conduct, and nothing in the rules governing state employees, bars a supervisor from dating a subordinate... At the same time, Charlotte was involved with another married superior at the prison [Sgt. George Sherrets Jr.], one of the sergeants on her midnight shift... [He] came clean with investigators and his bosses after her death. He acknowledged using drugs with her. He was promptly fired. But Nicketta believes the “good ol’ boy” system took care of Mazorra... Nicketta, 63, remains haunted by her daughter’s death. Charlotte’s son, Jeff Lovelady, can’t accept it. He was 15 then. He talked to her by phone a few hours before she died. He was visiting his father in a Georgia hospital, and his mother promised to come pick him up in a few days. Promised — a word used sparingly in this family for commitments that came from the heart. “It’s always puzzled me,” said Lovelady, choking back the tears.. A few years ago, still burning with questions, he went to the Marion County Sheriff’s Office to request a copy of his mother’s death investigation. The clerk asked why. He explained he was Charlotte’s son. He took comfort in her response: "She said that's one case nobody will ever forget." [Full article here]

The witness reported the incident to administration as soon as the parent left the premises and the school immediately reported it to the Department of Children and Families who contacted law enforcement. The school is continuing to investigate the incident and protocol. The parent, who is a police officer and who often visited the school in uniform, surrendered himself to authorities. The person witnessing the act is an expectant mother who was unsure if the parent had a weapon. She says that at the time she feared for the safety of the victim as well as that of her unborn child”... His plea hearing has now been set for May 15th.

[Excerpts] A Miami-Dade police officer who was captured on surveillance video beating his 14-year-old daughter at school appeared in court Tuesday, where a judge [Lisa Walsh] told him to stay away from his daughter and her mother. "What happened was that the judge issued a stay-away order between my client, Mr. Rosario, and his ex-wife and his daughter.

[UT] Ex Trooper Mike Pope beat family and threatened to kill all, including the kids

May 28, 2018
...[Former Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Mike] Pope’s wife tried to shut the front door, but he pushed in, “made his way into the house and grabbed (his estranged wife) by the hair and put the gun to (her) head.” Pope also pointed the gun at his wife’s mother and father and two of the children, the statement says. Pope’s in-laws tried to pull Pope off their daughter, and Pope pushed his father-in-law into a curio cabinet, which injured the man’s head. Pope’s wife told police that her estranged husband pointed the gun at all adults and juveniles present. Pope’s mother-in-law tried to call 911 twice, the probable cause statement says. In both cases, which occurred in different rooms, Pope punched her in the face and destroyed the phones... “Michael told (his wife) again he was going to kill everyone in the house. (Juvenile) C.P. stood in front of (her), and Michael pushed C.P. to the ground holding onto C.P.’s hair... His wife “then pushed Michael out of the house while saying he was going to kill everyone in the house... Full article here]

Currently Mike Pope is charged with
aggravated burglary, 6 counts of aggravated kidnapping, 5 counts of aggravated assault, discharge of a firearm, shooting in the direction of a person, 3 counts of domestic violence in the presence of a child, serious injury/weapon, and damage/interrupt communications device.

Folks might wonder why post about former law enforcement personnel - isn't the problem over? Not for those who perpetrate and the people close to them. Ex officers have all the training and commanding presence, likely mad or depressed about losing their job, and may perceive themselves as having less to lose, less to live for. Mike here told the arriving officers to shoot him.
They didn't,
but it shows how dangerous Pope is right now.

And this isn't new.
Maybe worse, but not new.

[PA] Pittsburgh police are not tracking allegations of officer-involved domestic violence

Pittsburgh police fail to comply with law in tracking officer-involved domestic violence
Pittsburgh police are not tracking allegations of officer-involved domestic violence in the manner required by city law, more than a decade after city officials reformed the way such allegations were handled. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police is required to keep two electronic databases that detail officer-involved domestic violence incidents and protection-from-abuse orders, according to a policy passed into city law in 2007 as part of a wider reform of the bureau’s reporting system. But following inquiries from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in the wake of a recent case involving an officer charged in a domestic dispute, city officials said Wednesday that no such databases exist. Mayor Bill Peduto on Monday ordered the police department to create the electronic databases by the end of the week... In a response to an open-records request and appeal filed with the state Office of Open Records by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Deputy Chief Thomas Stangrecki said in a letter dated Wednesday that he could not find any electronic databases and could locate only a printed Excel file that was last updated in 2014...

DEPUTY WHO CRASHED CRUISER CHARGED WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
May 4, 2018
[Excerpts] A Licking County Sheriff's deputy who crashed his cruiser into a Reynoldsburg home Wednesday afternoon has been charged with domestic violence for events preceding the crash. Deputy Jon Yeager, 39, has been charged with domestic violence, assault and disorderly conduct, Reynoldsburg Police Lt. Ron Wright said... The charges stem from an incident Wednesday afternoon at Yeager's family home... Yeager is alleged to have assaulted his wife and then calmed down, allowing his wife to get the couple's children and her mother and leave the home... Yeager left the house a short time later in his cruiser... Wright said there was no indication Yeager was pursuing his wife. "He gets into his cruiser and drives down the street at a high rate of speed and then crashed into the house on Ridgeline"... He remains hospitalized... Wright said Reynoldsburg officers have an arrest warrant in hand for Yeager and will transport him to the Franklin County Jail after he is released from the hospital. He will be housed in Franklin County to avoid potential security or conflict of interest issues related to his work as a sheriff's deputy... Wright said charges could potentially be filed in relation to the crash as well. All three charges Yeager currently faces are misdemeanors. [Full article here]

[NY] State Atty. Gen. Schneiderman accused by women of domestic violence

Update: Three hours after the publication of this story today by The NewYorker New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman resigned from his position. Victims stories were vetted.

One of the women:
“This was under no circumstances a sex game gone wrong. This did not happen while we were having sex. I was fully dressed and remained that way. It was completely unexpected and shocking. I did not consent to physical assault."

Four Women Accuse New York’s Attorney General of Physical Abuse
March 7, 2018
[Excerpts] As Eric Schneiderman used the authority of his office to assume a major role in the #MeToo movement, the distress of four women with whom he has had romantic relationships or encounters grew... All have been reluctant to speak out, fearing reprisal. But two of the women, Michelle Manning Barish and Tanya Selvaratnam, have talked to The New Yorker on the record, because they feel that doing so could protect other women. They allege that he repeatedly hit them, often after drinking, frequently in bed and never with their consent. Manning Barish and Selvaratnam categorize the abuse he inflicted on them as “assault.” They did not report their allegations to the police at the time, but both say that they eventually sought medical attention after having been slapped hard across the ear and face, and also choked. Selvaratnam says that Schneiderman warned her he could have her followed and her phones tapped, and both say that he threatened to kill them if they broke up with him.... A third former romantic partner of Schneiderman’s told Manning Barish and Selvaratnam that he also repeatedly subjected her to nonconsensual physical violence, but she told them that she is too frightened of him to come forward...

[US][MD] Police Officer Bumbray killed wife Brenda and himself

On April 5, 2018 United States Park Police Officer Jose Ramon Bumbray shot and killed his wife of 24 years Brenda Jenette Harrison-Bumbray with his service weapon in their home. He then shot and fatally wounded himself. There isn't very much said in the news besides that it happened. Someone put love into Brenda's obituary though, honoring her. I could not find the obit for Jose. They leave children. 

Brenda Harrison-Bumbray
1968 - 2018 Obituary
Brenda Harrison-Bumbray Obituary
Brenda Jenette Harrison-Bumbray, daughter of the late McKinley and Barbara Ann Harrison, was born January 4, 1968, in Scotland Neck, NC. Brenda entered into eternal rest on Thursday, April 5, 2018. Family and friends will unite on Saturday, April 14, 2018 from 10:00 am until time of service 11:00 am at New Community of God in Christ, 3480 Catterton Pl, STE 101, Waldorf, MD. Interment immediately following at Heritage Memorial Cemetery, 13472 Poplar Hill Rd., Waldorf, MD. Brenda dedicated her life to the Lord at an early age. She was a member of Free Gospel Deliverance Temple, and later joined the Church of Redeemed Children of Jesus Christ, where she served faithfully for over 20 years as a Minister of the Youth Department, an Usher, an Armor Bearer, and the Minister of the Women's Department. Brenda graduated from Fairmont Heights High School in June 1985. She attained Associate Degrees in General Studies and Arts and Sciences from the College of Southern Maryland. Brenda led by example and encouraged all her children to seek higher education. Brenda was employed at the United States Postal Service for over 30 years. She held various positions throughout her career, and most recently held the position of Sales and Service Associate at the Accokeek Station. Brenda was also working in the capacity of Acting Supervisor since 2014 at the Accokeek Station. Brenda was a devoted wife for over 24 years and the proud mother of Shaneika Harrison, Joseph, Joshua, and Christian Bumbray. She was anxiously awaiting the birth of her second grandson. Brenda was heavily involved in community outreach where she donated clothes, food, and her time to serve the homeless with So Others Might Eat (SOME) and Mitch Snyder's Homeless Shelter. Brenda enjoyed traveling the country and spending time with her family and friends. She wanted to expose her children to all cultures, so they traveled abroad to places like the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, Mexico, Dominican Republic, and she recently visited Hawaii for her 50th birthday. Brenda loved couponing and getting a bargain at local retail establishments. She was often called upon by her church family and friends to find a bargain. Brenda is survived by her children, Shaneika, Joseph, Joshua, Christian, step-daughter Destini Wilson, brother Michael (Trina), mother Barbara Harrison, nephew Michael A. Harrison, niece Taneisha Harrison, and step-grandson Rodney Dickerson. She was preceded in death by her father McKinley Harrison and her grandson Daniel Jeremiah White, and subsequently by her husband Jose R. Bumbray, Jr. Brenda is also survived by her Godmother Bessie Price, best friend Raylyn Graham, and a host of other family and friends.
