MAJOR BREAKING NEWS!! Warren Papove to be released!!!

For our readers that have been following the Warran Papove deportation story that arose from the ongoing nefarious activities of City of South Miami commissioner Valerie Newman and the city's police chief, Orlando Martinez de Castro, you'll be glad to hear that Mr Papove's six plus week stay at Krome Detention center is going to be coming to an end very shortly.  We were informed yesterday through Warren Papove's federal public defender, Samuel Randall, that the federal prosecutor assigned to Mr. Papove's deportation case has decided to recommend to the presiding judge that all criminal charges against Mr. Papove should be dropped!

The dismissal of the criminal charges against Mr. Papove is huge news as it completely upends the efforts of Commissioner Newman and Chief Martinez to humiliate the people who took care of Mr. Papove while he lived in South Miami.

Now that this ugly chapter in South Miami politics is coming to a close, the question that we're left to ask is whether or not the entire detention and subsequent arrest of Mr. Papove was done legally.  From the original police report written by Detective Mendez of the South Miami Police Department, we were told that an anonymous caller placed a call to code enforcement alleging that Mr. Papove was doing work on someones property without a permit, allegedly a code enforcement officer came out and while all this was going on detective Mendez drove by and recognized Mr. Papove from a wanted poster.  As we discussed a few days ago, that entire scenario seemed highly unlikely, what seemed far more likely.  We seemed to think the whole thing went down like this...

• Commissioner Valeria Newman and Police Chief Orlando Martinez de Castro scheme and try to figure out a way to embarrass their nemesis on the commission, Bob Welsh.
• A friend of Newman's tells her about Mr. Papove working in the neighborhood and Newman relays this information to the Chief who does a quick background search on Mr. Papove then finds out that he's not supposed to be in the United States. A light goes off in the Chief's mind and both he and Newman concoct this plan to arrest Mr Papove and humiliate Commissioner Welsh.
• A sucker in the police department is picked to put together this bogus case and to write a false police report in order to further Commissioner Newman and Chief Martinez de Castro's plot.

Doesn't that seem more realistic?  If indeed that is the way it went down then the whole police report is a fabricated pile of bullshit.  Tomorrow we're going to compare the police report written by the City of South Miami police department to the report that the feds wrote and see if we can point out any inconsistencies in the reports.  Until then, congratulations to Mr. Papove and his attorney!
