Some University of Virginia students go on to do great things like be famous politicians, run Fortune 500 companies and book hookers.
Or, wait… There is Tameka Lewis who just plead guilty to money laundering and promoting prostitution. She’s 32 and has an English major from UVA. While Tameka’s family couldn’t believe that she did anything wrong, it looks like they have believe, differently.
Tameka is part of the investigation that involved former New York Governor, Eliot Sptizer.

I absolutely just heard 10-15 gunshots coming from near the corner of Ridge and Elliott. It could not have been anything other than a clip unloading. Does anybody live nearby that heard or saw anything? Or would like to step forward and confess? Not everybody at once, there’s plenty of internet to go around, just tell me why I have to listen to fucking gunshots every night.

I look through the Daily Progress every now and then for some interesting tidbits about Charlottesville. Today, I was both surprised and saddened to read about a case in which a James Gardner Dennis was charged with rape and and abduction of a 17 year old girl.
Apparently, he used the website Seeking Arrangement to solicit this girl. The website describes its services as creating:
“Mutually Beneficial Relationship” between two people. Such a relationship is usually between an older and wealthy individual who gives a young person expensive gifts or financial assistance in return for friendship, or intimacy.
Seriously?

A little birdie sends this in:
My coworker had her car broken into while at the Springsteen concert last night. She was parked in the Barracks Road shopping center. Was there a rash of burglaries during the concert last night?
I checked the police report and there were only a handful of thefts reported, but did anyone experience otherwise?

Ok, so apparently, at Woodlands Ave around 11:30 PM on Friday night, two men broke into an apartment.
Instead of stealing a TV or a play station or something like that, they decided to order pizza.
The pizza delivery guy came and they held a gun to him, forced him to come inside and robbed him.
They then stole his car. The car (with a giant pizza sign, probably) is still missing. License plate is KGN-2401.
No word on what type of pizza, if they ate it or the choice of toppings. What do you think they ordered?

Thanks to Silmo for pointing out there is a world outside of cVillain.
This is the picture of the first suspect, Slade Woodson who is in custody.
Silmo also points out that Slade Woodson has two myspace pages:
http://www.myspace.com/lostbogger
http://www.myspace.com/bakyrdbogn
Slade Woodson’s second myspace is set to private, but the “lostbogger” myspace page has information and pictures you may find interesting.
- He went to Western Albemarle High School from 2003 to 2007
- He likes Ford trucks and confederate flags
Now for the pictures.
“Thats after about a 24 pack.. I was feelin RIGHT. hell yea” was the caption for the next one…
