Police: Man Killed Over $5 Bag Of Pot
Police Say Man Was Playing Trick On Teen Dealer
POSTED: Monday, July 27, 2009
UPDATED: 11:37 pm EDT July 27, 2009
WARREN, Mich. -- Police said four teenagers confronted a 46-year-old man who failed to pay for $5 worth of marijuana, and one of them smashed the victim's head with a piece of cement, killing him.
Warren police said the slaying happened Sunday around 11 p.m. outside a house on the 8600 block of Stephens Street in Warren, just north of Detroit.
When police responded to a 911 call, officers found Michael Daniel McCarthy bleeding in the front yard. McCarthy was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Watch: Teens Accused Of Killing Man With Concrete
Chief William Dwyer said the man was buying the marijuana from 16-year-old Brandon Lee Ebel but failed to pay for it.
Dwyer said Ebel picked up three friends, and the four attacked the man.
"One of the suspects picks up a large chunk of cement and slams it into the victims' head. They further brutalize him by stepping on him and kicking him. A total brutal-type murder over $5 worth of marijuana," said Dwyer.
Local 4 has learned the robbery was staged as part of a joke on the teen after he sold marijuana to his own father.
McCarthy was Ebel's father's friend, who wanted to teach the teen a lesson for overcharging his father for marijuana, police said.
McCarthy pretended to steal the marijuana, but the teen thought he was really stealing it from his father and went to get his friends, said police. That's when the altercation broke out.
Brandon Ebel's father, Gregory Ebel, said he is trying to cope with the loss of his friend and his 16-year-old son. Gregory Ebel said he thought his friend was going to recover from his injurues.
"I thought he had a concussion, but I thought he would come through. He didn't come through. I thought he would come out of the hospital with stitches, but he didn't," said Gregory Ebel.
McCarthy's friend Michelle Giddens said he was a good man and was just beginning to turn his life around before it was senselessly taken.
Authorities have charged the 16-year-old, two 17-year-olds and an 18-year-old with second-degree murder, armed robbery and conspiracy to rob.
Kevin David Antone, 18, of Warren, Thomas Henry Post, 17, of Roseville and Jacob Steven Androsuk, 17, of Warren were arraigned in front of Judge John Chmura at 37th District Court Monday.
Chmura set a $1 million bond for the trio. They will be back in court on Aug. 4 for a preliminary hearing.
Ebel will be arraigned Tuesday morning in the 37th District Court. He is being lodged at Macomb County Youth Home.
All of the teens are being charged as adults. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison.

Woman Killed, Set On Fire Inside Bar
Manhunt Launched For Suspected Killer
POSTED: Tuesday, July 28, 2009
UPDATED: 8:56 am EDT July 28, 2009
RIVER ROUGE, Mich. -- An interstate manhunt for a man suspected of stabbing his girlfriend to death and then setting a bar with her body inside ablaze has been launched Tuesday morning.
Police said they believe David Metzoian killed his girlfriend Monday night and then set the bar he manages, the Jefferson Station Bar on Burke Street in River Rouge, on fire before skipping town.
Local 4 Cameras rolled as firefighters responded to the fire around 9 p.m. Monday. After the fire was put out, investigators made the gruesome discovery.
"So far we have just recovered a body in the backroom office. We are attempting to positively ID her at this time," said River Rouge Police and Fire Department Chief Robert Aiderman.
Police said they believe it was Metzoian who placed a call Monday evening to the police station and said he had just killed his girlfriend and then set a fire in the Jefferson Station Bar.
Police have not identified the woman, in her 40s, but they have said they believe the victim is Metzoian's girlfriend, who also worked at the bar.
The suspected victim's relative, Crystal Turesdell, told Local 4 her mother-in-law had been in an abusive relationship with Metzoian for two years. She said her mother-in-law called her Monday night and said she had finally decided to leave Metzoian.
"We're really worried about her because the man that did it was really abusive to her and she was trying to leave. She just called and asked if we could help her move today because he was beating her up," said Turesdell. "He was coming in and she couldn't talk no more, she had to hang up the phone."
Metzoian has a criminal history. In 1983, he was convicted of second-degree murder.
Police said he is considered armed and dangerous. Investigators said they believe Metzoian may be on his way to Tennessee.
He is driving a purple 1998 Ford minivan with license plate BJY9475.
Anyone with information is asked to call the River Rouge Police Department.

"I Keep An Artsy Bitch" -Jude
Talking to my friend Jude this evening... he was on his way to an art exhibit in LA with his friend. He said he was wearing a Michael Vick jersey. (I want to marry him for that)
But it got me thinking about art and shit and I came across this...
Art exhibits by Petros Chrisostomou
This is probably my worst nightmare come true. A whole bunch of dirt and giant bananas. (I am allergic and hence terrified of bananas) Titled: Bananadosh
This one makes my underwear sweat. I would love to have a life size pair of stilettos in crib.
Titled: Slut (I'm not kidding)

Ok. Ok. So I have been pretty silent in regards to Mike Posner & The Brain Trust. He's a cat from Southfield doin' it to it. I'm not going to lie, I wasn't really feeling him at first. The whispiness of his voice kind of irked me....until now! I was toolin' around on the 'net. (Which is what bloggers do. We just regurj shit that someone else already put on blast) and I cam across this track.

Stone's Throw has more details!!
Before...When Adubble was Adrienne She Use To Fuck With..
Pagers: The way that shit looked on your hip back in the day was fire! Getting a page from your boo boo with "143" was the business. Spelling "boobs" upside down with 59009. Remember those clear joints?? I actually had this model.
White Boy Rappers: Man oh man. These dudes were my weakness. It didn't care how bad they were, I was a fan. (er groupie?) I had "dated" so many that it got to the point that one of my New Years Resolutions for 1999 was "I will not date anyone who has a pending record deal". Keep in mind this was at the start of the Eminem era so they white rappers were bountiful. I knew every word to every Eminem song and could spot a rapper from a mile away.
Systems: I had sub woofers, tweeters, boxes, you name it. I was that chick. I grew up on that shit. My brother was the king of that shit in the 80's and I totally inherited it when I got my license. I had one of my thug friends build a custom box for me to fit behind the seats of my pick up truck. This was like pheremones for them white boy rappers.
Rock Dudes: Now before I became a hip hop head I was that one black chick who liked the alterna-rock hits of the 90's. And then when the white boy rappers were too busy in "the studio" I would flip the switch and go back to the rock dudes.
Christian Music: Oh yea. I used to hang with Jesus all the time. We was boys. I went to Christian schools my whole life, so I use to rock out to Micheal W. Smith, Carmen, DC Talk etc. To see what I mean watch these. These two were my jams back in the day.
I choreographed a cheerleading routine to this joint back in 1992. I was kind of a big deal
I loved me some DC Talk back in the day. I would blast this joint right here. But it probably wasn't a good look for me liking this group because all I could really think about was having a threesome with the 2 white dudes. (For the record, looking back, the black guy in this group resembles T3 of S.Villa)
Being Fat: Yea I used to be fat. I mean not fat fat but definitely overweight. I didn't care! I was in a relationship where all we did was eat ice cream and out back steakhouse and exchange OH faces every night. (Healthy right?) Well I dropped him and dropped the take out habit. Now I just shop and drink.
Ghetto Hair Styles: I wasn't always this fly you know. I rocked some "so cold in the d" type braids back in the dizzle. (This picture is not me, but I had hair JUST like this)
Friends: I watched it. Religiously. I wanted to have 5 hip friends and waste my time in a coffee shop. That's all I wanted in life. When the theme song was a hit on the radio (Sung by the Rembrandts, thank you) I knew the words, had it on my 1996 mix tape...it was fire! Now I hang out with a bunch of thugs who love sneakers. I've come a long way. Don't lie, you know you love this shit too.
Commission Sales: After about a year and a half of this I wanted to swallow poison because I couldn't handle the sleeziness of it all.
I was lame...still am. Holla.

Woops. Sorry about that.
I was going to post this yesterday, but my internet was down. (You know how it is gettin' that free wi-fi. It's a crap shoot)
To start off. I <3 Alchemist. Always have. Probably always will. (Unless he comes out with some really dumb shit)
I was super geeked to hear he had been working with Eminem then got even more hyped when I heard about Chemical Warfare.
I took a listen. Here is my blow by blow review (Pause)
1. ALC Theme (Feat. Kool G Rap) : Classic Alc beat. Flow is pretty fluid on this one. Kool G gets pretty gully on this track. I wish Alc rhymed more often.
2. Lose Your Life (Feat. Snoop Dogg & Jada Kiss & Pusha T): I got this track for free from the Rock The Bells download, but I didn't get a chance to listen to it right away. I love pretty much everything Jada does so I was geeked. Lately I'm pretty skeptical about Snoop's songs.
3. Chemical Warfare (Eminem): AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. What's with this Triumph accent??? I seriously can't get past it. His flow is ill, but that accent distracts me to no end.
4. Grand Concourse Benches (Feat. KRS-One): I don't know who didn't put Alc and Ev on the Detroit bill, but that was some bullshit. KRS' flow rings relevancy and still in the classic KRS style. Check out his track called "DJs" with DJ Revolution. If you are a shitty DJ I recommend you don't listen to this song. Your feelings will get hurt. I mean I know some shitty DJs and my feelings are hurt for them! Real talk.
5. Therapy (Feat. Evidence, Blu, Talib & Kid Cudi): Wow! What a fucking line up! I usually get a little nervous when there are more than 4 cats on one track. But this one was pretty organized. No hype man syndrome* ...MMMM Evidence. Whenever Alc & Ev get together you can sense the chemistry immediatley. The riffs on this track are bananas. The thing I love about Alc is he makes beats that are PERFECT for the mc on the track. There are a lot of stellar producers and beat makers in the world. But Alc is always on some epic shit. The end of this one is great...with the random-ass noises, drops and samples....super funny.
6. That'll Work (3 Six Mafia and Juvenille): Woop! Banger beat on this one! But where has three six and Crunchy Black** been? Juvee? What up playa! I would've preferred T.I. on this one.
7. Smile (Feat. Maxwell & Twista): ooooo. I'm super happy to hear Maxwell on stratight hip hop shit. Fantastic.
8. Keep The Heels On (Feat. Prodigy): O snap! "Pick you up at lunch...backseatin' it...so you can't concentrate at work" ...Wow. I miss nasty raps about sex. TMI? Maybe. "Sloppy face diva catch a breatha, cuz her jaw hurt" LMAO! This is my favorite one on the cd.
9. Gangrene (Feat. Gangrene) (Ohno & Alchemist): I wish I was in the studio when this song was being recorded. Pretty gully. Get a Mob Deep x Wu vibe off of this one. Like it. "Alchemy was and is an advanced spiritual discipline"
10. Lights, Camera, Action (Feat. Lil' Flame of M.O.P.): AAAAAAANTE UP!
11. Some Gangsta Shit (Feat. F-A-B-O): I kind of hate Fabolous, but when he gets a tasty beat he aight. The first 10 seconds are CRACK! "You're swagger's on viagra keep it up son" seriously?
12. On Sight (Feat. Dogg Pound & Lady of Rage): Whaaat? LOR? Really??? Yess. A female MC that is not Missy or Fergie!!!
13. Take A Look Back: This one is probably my second favorite one. Excellent. No features. Crack!

Alchemist X Lil' Wayne X Travis McCoy (I Know Your Name)
This by far is the best track Travis McCoy (Gym Class Heroes) has ever spit. I mean ever in his fine ass existence on planet earth. His voice is perfect for Alchemist's beat. Lil' Wayne really only does the hook on this track. I believe this came about because Weezy and Travy toured together. (I heard the stories about these guys straight from Travy's mouth..shit was crazy!)

Why I Haven't Been Blogging 3: Medically Forced Bikini Ready.
I've been asked if I have to change up my diet since I've been diagnosed. The answer is yes. Instead of telling you what I CAN eat. I will tell you what I CAN'T eat.
Not only am I diabetic. I am also Lactose Intolerant and I have stomach issues. sooo...
I can not eat....
Anything with sugar
Foods with high carbs
Foods with high fat
Dairy
Anything spicy
Anything fried
I can basically eat grilled chicken, water and grass.
Which means this new wack diet will at least allow me to look fly in bikini.
Hey I always find the silver lining.

Why I Haven't Been Blogging 2: The Rock The Bells Incident.
So I was pretty hungry all day. I mean straight starving. No matter what I ate, I just wanted to keep eating. I am pretty much like that all the time, so it was no different.
Go to the show...have some fries...not enough.
8:00 I go to the bathroom and my knees feel kind of wobbly. Not sure why. I just chalked it up to being in the sun all day and standing up no big whoop. But still hungry.
8:30 Jen busts out the pretzels. I eat some. I actually stuff my face to be more accurate.
9:00 Chillin' with my man Rusty low-down*...he goes to get some drinks. I text him:
"Rusty. Will you get me some fries??????"
9:15 Rusty is back. No fries.
Adrienne: WTF Rusty! Where are my fries???
Rusty: Huh?
Adrienne: Did you get my text about getting my fries?
Rusty: (Looks at his phone) Naw man. Sorry
Adrienne: Damn.
9:45 NaS and Damien come on. I am jumping around having a bang up time.
10:00 I completley run out of gas and sit down. Can't sit up straight. Hold my head between my knees. I may vomit.
10:15 Warren asks if I'm ok. I say no.
10:30 Panic attack kicks in. I start crying for no reason.
Adrienne: Lindsay will you come with me to get food? I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Lindsay: Sure let's go
Adrienne: Please hold my hand because I'm going to drop at any minute
Ryan: (grabs my arm) Hey...what's the matter with you?
Adrienne: I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Ryan: (Blank stare)
10:33 I get to the top of the stairs and "black out"**
???? I wake up being carted off in a wheel chair with a medic choking the shit out of me. He was choking me because I couldn't keep my head up. I kept sliding out of the chair.
??? Medic: Adrienne! Adrienne! Honey? Why do you think you are here?
Adrienne: My Blood Sugar is low.
Medic: okay. Let's take your blood and find out.
Adrienne: (bawling) I just wanted freeeennnncch friiiieeees!
Medic: Well dear, why do you think your sugar is low.
Adrienne: (still bawling...not like tupac) because im preeeee diiiiaaaaabeeeetic
Medic: Um your blood sugar is 380. You are full blown diabetic. You should probably be in a coma right now
???? I go the ER...get a bunch of tests and tubes and pokes and prods.
Verdict? I'm diabetic. Type 2.
I've been dealing with it since this happened. Hence the lack of blog updates.
What does that mean?
It means I have to take a bunch of drugs, work out EVEN MORE, eat weird shit and my life expectancy has just dropped by a few years. Oh and I can't have cupcakes everyday.
Go to the show...have some fries...not enough.
8:00 I go to the bathroom and my knees feel kind of wobbly. Not sure why. I just chalked it up to being in the sun all day and standing up no big whoop. But still hungry.

10:00 I completley run out of gas and sit down. Can't sit up straight. Hold my head between my knees. I may vomit.
10:15 Warren asks if I'm ok. I say no.
10:30 Panic attack kicks in. I start crying for no reason.
Adrienne: Lindsay will you come with me to get food? I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Lindsay: Sure let's go
Adrienne: Please hold my hand because I'm going to drop at any minute
Ryan: (grabs my arm) Hey...what's the matter with you?
Adrienne: I feel like I'm going to pass out.
Ryan: (Blank stare)
10:33 I get to the top of the stairs and "black out"**
???? I wake up being carted off in a wheel chair with a medic choking the shit out of me. He was choking me because I couldn't keep my head up. I kept sliding out of the chair.
??? Medic: Adrienne! Adrienne! Honey? Why do you think you are here?
Adrienne: My Blood Sugar is low.
Medic: okay. Let's take your blood and find out.
Adrienne: (bawling) I just wanted freeeennnncch friiiieeees!
Medic: Well dear, why do you think your sugar is low.
Adrienne: (still bawling...not like tupac) because im preeeee diiiiaaaaabeeeetic
Medic: Um your blood sugar is 380. You are full blown diabetic. You should probably be in a coma right now
???? I go the ER...get a bunch of tests and tubes and pokes and prods.
Verdict? I'm diabetic. Type 2.
I've been dealing with it since this happened. Hence the lack of blog updates.
What does that mean?
It means I have to take a bunch of drugs, work out EVEN MORE, eat weird shit and my life expectancy has just dropped by a few years. Oh and I can't have cupcakes everyday.
Why I Haven't Been Blogging 1: Rock The Bells Recap
Well I went to the Rock the Bells concert at DTE last weekend. I was kind of sort of dissapointed. I wasn't dissapointed in the performances, I was dissapointed in the jack move they did on the line up and the crowd. (No: Common, Alc & Ev, La Coka Nostra, Ice Cube, Cool Kids....boooooooooooo)
So me and the posse got there about 3:00. Right in time for Slum Village. We missed K'Naan and Chali Tuna...but everything is everything. So we pull up and I'm already buzzed up (Thanks to the mixology skills of DJ Krispy). I lost my buzz immediatley when I was first forced to breakdance by the "TRUTH" tour bus. *smh. Then I see a sign....
"WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE BUT BUSTA RHYMES WILL NOT BE PERFORMING. REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN"
Aaaah. This sign did not make the people wanna "JUMP JUMP"
Then I was acosted by someone who told me I shouldn't eat at McDonald's.
...go fuck yourself while I eat my 2 cheeseburger combo meal...
Slum Village: DOPE! Held it down. Great set. The stage was really big for T3, El and Dez, but it was still a great show. The crowd barely got into it! When Dez dropped just two BAPS from "Raise It Up" I pretty much lost my mind. Everyone around me looked at me like I had done just that.
Slaughterhouse: Joel Orteze. eh. Joe Budden. eh. Royce...He was aight. I don't really get the concept of Slaughterhouse, but they were decent. They did some hits, so I'm not hating.
TechN9ne: Okay. His fans are some loyal motherfuckers. They are some wild ones, but they hold Tech down for real! I mean one minute everyone was chillin' singing along to "Pump It Up" from Joe Budden, then the next thing you know the place was filled with red jerseys, flags, make up, matching couples. Wow! Tech has some big ass beats and he could put on a show. Once again I can't front on him. I won't buy a CD or go to a show, but I will nod my head for sure.
Reflections Eternal (aka Talib Kweli & Hi Tek): The crowd was still sparse at this point and people really weren't getting into it. They had a good 10 minute pause (no homo) at the beginning of the show, so I think that might of rubbed people the wrong way. (once again, no homo) Talib did all the hits. There were even rumors that Mos Def was there. I knew he wasn't when he did a few Blackstar joints and Mr. Def was nowhere to be found.
(ha...Busa Buss just came on my itunes. ha.)
The Roots: Never fail. I've seen them a bunch of times. They had a bad ass tuba player that was dancing and jumping around. Pretty live. "The Seed" was the highlight of thier set for me.
Big Boi: AWESOME! I stood up and sang along to every single song! It was pretty much an Outkast concert without Andre 3000. He did his thang!!! I lost my mind when the Purple Ribbon All Stars joint came on. Yesss!! (You can find me in the AAAAAAAA)
KRS-1: He taught. He did not perform. I was dissapointed. I was looking forward to a lil "Bridge Is Over"
Nas & Damien Marley: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! NaS performed with Damien's live band and it was so sick. Damien is the best!I've never seen him live and it was awesome. When his two back up singers did Lauryn Hill's part on "If I Ruled The World" I got mad goose bumps. O and did I mention that "Hip Hop is Dead" had some mother fucking bongos???? Damien's performance of One Love was pretty much breathtaking...
And then I passed the fuck out and went to the ER.

I'm Leaving for Las Vegas on Sunday.
If you haven't seen this movie yet, consider yourself Un-American. The hype is accurate. One of the funniest movies I have ever seen.
Oh and for shits and giggles...
Waking Up In Vegas
Oh and for shits and giggles...
Waking Up In Vegas
Hot Mess Monday (Rihanna! No!)
I think I'm a little more disturbed by the look on her face rather than her outfit. If I wore this, I would be arrested before the champagne even hit my lips. Oh and for the record she was hanging out with the Jigga Man....
