Show Notes for Thursday April 30, 2020




THIS WEEK'S DEAR JOHN LETTER!

Dear John,

I've been listening for a while now, but this Dear John Letter is new to me. I used to work at this time and never hear these. I've been able to listen for the last several weeks and I like it, but I think I have a letter for you too. I was laid off about a month ago. I've been OK financially, but I'm not sure how long that will last. I don't think my employer will be reopening. I'm so sad about that. They were an amazing small company that had a few of us working there. Like I said, I'm sad for them, but I'm also wondering if I'm going to be able to find something when things do come back. Any advice for a not-ready to retire mature momma?

Signed – MatureMomma

A 19-year-old California man suspected of attempting to rob a Riverside bank and who paused to drink an alcoholic beverage before being arrested was free on bail. On Friday, April 10th, Sonny Gutierrez Jr. allegedly walked into the Bank of America and handed a teller a note demanding money that said he had a firearm. Gutierrez then waited to receive the money in the bank lobby “while consuming an adult beverage,” which turned out to be a White Claw hard seltzer, giving employees time to call 9-1-1. Officers subsequently arrived and arrested Gutierrez without incident. He was booked into jail on suspicion of attempted robbery but was released Saturday after posting $30,000 bail. “A big shout out to the bank employees for remaining calm the entire time and relaying the suspect's description and location inside to our dispatchers,” police said.

MOMENT OF DUH: Brought to you by InsuranceChicken.com

Angered that a group of golfers was violating rules on the course adjacent to his home, a 74-year-old Florida Man allegedly threatened the players with a BB gun, prompting the septuagenarian’s arrest Friday evening on six felony charges. According to cops, John Robert Orr initially shouted at the golfers for driving their cart over a bridge and onto the putting green at the 8th hole of The Conservatory course in Palm Coast. The 199-yard, par three hole features an island green and is touted as the “signature hole” of the Tom Watson-designed course. Orr lives in a home that backs up to the hole, though the residence is separated from the course by a cement wall and the water that surrounds the green. One of the golfers told police that Orr yelled at them to leave the course and that “use of the golf cart in that manner was against regulations of the golf course.” Orr then allegedly went into his home and “grabbed a firearm and pointed it at” the golfers, each of whom said he was in fear for his life. After Orr turned over the BB rifle to police, he was arrested on multiple counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill, a felony. (https://bit.ly/2yzXdZd)
