ST. PETERSBURG - A 19-year-old Titusville man has been charged with animal cruelty after police said he sodomized his grandmother's Yorkshire terrier.

Nicholas R. Densmore was arrested on Monday and remained in the Pinellas County Jail on Wednesday in lieu of $25,000 bail.

It was unknown what Densmore used to sodomize the dog, but afterward he threw the injured animal in the trash behind his grandparents' home on Dartmouth Avenue North, where it was later found, according to a police report.

The Yorkshire terrier, a female named Duchess, underwent surgery at an animal hospital and was expected to return home late Wednesday or early today, said Claudette Densmore, Densmore's grandmother.

Claudette Densmore said she spoke with her grandson only briefly before he was arrested and he denied hurting the dog. She said he had come to stay with her and her husband about a month ago and was looking for a job. "He's never done anything like this before," she said. "Just kid stuff."

State records show he has previously been arrested seven times, five of them as a juvenile. In August of last year, in his first arrest as an adult, he was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest. He pleaded no contest and received 60 days in jail.

Couple making love al fresco fall 50 feet... but are saved by a fig tree

Last updated at 11:17am on 3rd July 2007

A young British courting couple had a miraculous escape when they plunged nearly 50 feet from a wall in Majorca because their fall was broken by a tree.

Leanne Hanley, 21, from Blackpool, and boyfriend Nicholas Maxwell, also 21, from nearby Preston, climbed up to the view point next to their holiday apartment block after a night on the town in the brash resort of Magaluf, on the holiday island's south coast.

They were indulging in what police described as "an amorous game" when they fell from the wall at 5.30am on Sunday.

A fig tree like this one became the British couple's saviour when, momentarily distracted from their own safety, they took a tumble

As they plunged to the ground they crashed through the branches of a fig tree which broke their fall and saved their lives.

Leanne is recovering in hospital at nearby Palma, the island's capital, with two broken ankles, while Nicholas was not even hurt.

Said one police officer: "These young people were extremely lucky. They fell 15 meters - the equivalent of six storeys.

"Normally people do not survive a fall of more than three floors. It was the tree that saved them."

Could this have saved Chelsea and Brett?

This may be going a bit too far to promote safe sex, but evidently some people need this eduction more than others. Check the CD title

Nothing 'goodie' in these bags

Mother furious after daughter was given adult items at Summerbash

A Burbank mother has expressed her outrage after Toyota Park concert sponsors handed her disabled 12-year-old daughter a goodie bag including condoms and a sex-toy catalogue Sunday.

Pam Richard, 39, says she spent $167 to take her daughters Heather, 12, Crystal, 14, and Hala, 18, to the B96 Summerbash at the Bridgeview stadium.

The trip to see stars including Akon, Rihanna and Hilary Duff perform was intended to be a family celebration of Crystal's eighth-grade graduation.

But the outing was soured during a pre-show performance inside the stadium grounds, Richard said.

"The dancers were handing out CDs, so I went to the front to get one for Heather," she said.

"Heather has a disability similar to Tourette's syndrome, which makes her nervous in crowds and clench her fists when she's excited, so she couldn't ask herself.

"But when I told the dancer she was disabled, he wouldn't give me one.

"I asked again and he handed Heather a pink bag -- when I saw what was inside, I was shocked."

Inside the bag, which was put together by Lisle-based nightclub promotions company Mixmaster Throwdown, were two condoms, a catalogue for the adult store Lover's Lane, an explicit CD titled "Vigina," "Bearly Legal" sun-tan lotion sachets printed with marijuana leaves and a book of gag "sex coupons" entitling the bearer to direct sex videos and other sexual favors.

"I am disgusted they would promote sex and drugs to a 12-year-old," Richard said.

"About 90 percent of the people at the concert were teens and pre-teens -- this was completely inappropriate."

Eric Gorde, of the Lover's Lane marketing department admitted it had been "a mistake" to supply giveaways for the concert.

I guess Chelsea Tumbleston and Tyler weren't alone in risky behavior

Teens smoked cigarettes while jumping on oil tank

Investigators also look at campfire as cause of fatal blast

Two teens were smoking as they jumped atop an oil tank in Routt National Forest just before it exploded, the Rio Blanco County undersheriff said Tuesday.

Investigators are looking at the possibility that cigarettes or ashes ignited vapors, Undersheriff Michael Joos said.

Other possibilities include sparks from a campfire 30 feet away or even static electricity.

"Some poor judgments were made," Joos said. "They (went) to an area they shouldn't have been at to jump up and down on an oil tank."

But assigning a cause to the freak accident is of little consolation to residents of the small south Routt County towns where residents are grieving the deaths of Samuel Hedemark, 17, and Christopher Fuller, 19.

Fuller, of Yampa, and Hedemark, of Phippsburg, had joined teens and young adults partying in National Forest Service land across a Forest Service road from Chapman Reservoir.

Many were current or past students at Soroco High School in Oak Creek. The district, with only 410 students, is a tightknit community, said Dina Murray, the district's business manager.

"The reports are that about 20 kids were in attendance at this party that witnessed these boys in an explosion," Murray said. "That's pretty traumatic."

Joos said authorities are learning that the site 20 miles southwest of Oak Creek was a popular party spot.

About 10:15 p.m. Saturday, authorities received reports of a blast. They found the bodies of Fuller and Hedemark, who were thrown more than 400 feet. A dog on the tank also was killed.

Both had elevated blood alcohol levels, Rio Blanco County Coroner Randall -Cochran reported.

Both victims spent a good deal of time outdoors, relatives and friends told the Steamboat Pilot & Today.

"That boy really went through fishing poles," Kathleen Foos, Hedemark's mother, told the paper.

Brandon Ager said his friend, Fuller, "was a real good guy that just liked to hunt, fish and hike with his dogs."

Between 32,000 and 40,000 oil and gas tanks are on public and private lands in Colorado, said Bureau of Land Management spokesman Jim Sample.

The tank that exploded was partially filled with 160 barrels of crude oil.

It was not fenced off but did have warning and no-trespassing signs on it, Joos said.

A release valve on the top of the tank prevents vapors from building up. Investigators believe that the motion of the young men jumping caused vapors to escape.

Joos said a third young man was on the tank and got off just before the blast, which blew the top portion of the tank 100 yards and knocked partygoers to the ground.

Investigators have not yet interviewed all the witnesses. Charges could be filed against those in attendance as well as against the person who provided alcohol.

Prosecutors visited the site Sunday, Joos said.

Tricia Beaver, spokeswoman for the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, said in her 23 years with the agency she's never heard of such an accident.

Beaver said environmental tests are being conducted but noted that most of the oil either burned off or collected in an area designed for that purpose.

"It's just a really unfortunate situation that occurred," she said.

A joint memorial service is scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at the Yampa cemetery, along Colorado 131 between Yampa and Phippsburg.

Couple who fell off building remembered

(Columbia) - Friends of the two people who died Wednesday when they fell off a downtown Columbia rooftop are speaking out about the kind of people they were.

The victims, 21-year-old Brent Tyler of Hilton Head and 21-year-old Chelsea Tumbleston of the Isle of Palms, died when they fell off the Palmetto Armory building on Laurel Street around 5 a.m. Wednesday.

An autopsy Thursday confirmed that the two died from the fall, and not from any injuries prior to the incident.

Tyler and Tumbleston both worked at the Wild Wings location in the Vista. Tumbleston also worked at the location in Harbison.

Brian Corey says he was a friend of Tyler for three years, and worked at the restaurant with him.

"I'm still in shock," says Corey. "It's kinda one of those things you just really don't know how to answer ever, no matter if it's a friend or family. It's never really easy."

Corey says the two had met in Hilton Head, and would hang out together. "He was a great kid. Very fun to work with him. He always turned every situation around, and was able to make everyone laugh. A really good kid."

Deanne Morris had known Tumbleston for four years, and had been her roommate for the last year.

"She was my tv buddy, she was my cooking buddy, she was my heart and soul," says Morris. "She was my everything."

"She was a good daugther, sister, friend, that would just brighten anyone's heart," says Morris. "Whatever room she was in, everywhere she went, she made friends. Good friends. She was always there for anybody and everybody."

Columbia Police Chief Dean Crisp says Tyler and Tumbleston were found by a taxi driver in one of the lanes of the 900 block of Laurel Street around 5:30 a.m.

Sergeant Florence McCants says the victims fell 50 to 60 feet from the sloping metal roof of the Palmetto Armory Building. They were taken to the hospital with serious injuries, and died a short time later. Crisp says the victims were found nude.

Police say there was no evidence of alcohol or drugs at the scene.

At this point, it appears the two got onto the roof by an adjacent parking garage. That's where officers say they found what they believe are the victim's clothes.

Naomi Mosley and her husband occasionally sleep at the parking garage where the couple gained access to the roof. She says she saw at least some of what led up to the deaths.

"I was getting up, packing up my stuff to get it out of the place," she says, when she noticed a young, nude couple arrive in a car, and climb onto the roof.

"When they came in, they was laughling, laughing and happy," says Mosley. "Her arm was up in the air, and he was pulling her up. He said 'baby I got you.'"

"If I could have gave them a warning, and tell them that's dangerous, go some other place," she says in retrospect.

Instead, Naomi says she and her husband decided to just mind their own business. They packed up their belongings and exited the parking garage around 5:30 a.m.

She then saw the taxi cab driver who found the bodies. Police were arriving to block off the streets.

"I said Lord God, I hope they gave their soul to you."

Naomi says it's a sight she wishes she'd never seen.

"Right now, I feel heartache that it happened. Because I don't want my worst enemy to fall off no roof like that."

Chelsea's Mom Concerned People Might Remember

I guess we at 2GH2 aren't the only ones concerned about the manner of death in this case. Here's the Charleston Paper:

Mom doesn't want manner of death to be daughter's legacy

By David Slade (Contact)

Chelsea A. Tumbleston (left), who died in a fall from a roof in Columbia, and her mother, Kelley Hartsell, at Chelsea's 21st birthday in January.

Kelley Hartsell wants her eldest daughter to be remembered as a caring young woman whose personality could light up a room, rather than being remembered for the unusual manner of her death.

Chelsea Tumbleston, a 21- year-old graduate of Stratford High School who attended University of South Carolina, died Wednesday in Columbia after she and 21-year-old Brent W. Tyler of Hilton Head fell about 50 feet from a building during the early morning hours.

"Unfortunately, those two children fell to the ground and died, and were found by a cab driver, naked," Hartsell said.

"No one wants that to be their legacy," she said. "That is a child who was working her way through college with her own money to become a nurse."

Police haven't reached a conclusion on what caused the couple to fall to their deaths. Their clothing was found on the roof of the building, and they were found in the street at 5 a.m. by the cab driver.

Because of the unusual nature of the deaths, the story was picked up by media outlets across country.

"I think it's just terrible to be known as the naked person off of a building, when she was one of the sweetest people I've known in my life," said family friend Rhonda Reeves. "It's a tragedy, without a doubt.

"She's my best friend's daughter, who was one of the most beauti- ful little girls, inside and out," Reeves said.

Tumbleston and Tyler were co-workers at a Wild Wing Cafe near Columbia, and Tumbleston worked at Wild Wing in Mount Pleasant before going to USC and during summer breaks, according to her mother.

Hartsell said her daughter grew up in Mount Pleasant and Goose Creek, and she was a cheerleader and prom queen at Stratford High School who enjoyed sports.

"She was loving and caring," Hartsell said. "I had some financial problems and she was helping me."

She said her daughter typically put in long hours at work, and that Tumbleston and Tyler had been seeing each other for a couple of weeks.

Hartsell said her daughter had just taken exams in May and recently asked her for help with financial aid forms, but USC spokesman Russ McKinney said Tumbleston withdrew from school last August and was not enrolled this year.

"The police are still trying to figure out what happened," Hartsell said. "It's not how she died, it's how she lived."

Friends of Chelsea Tumbleston, 21, and Brent Tyler, 21, found dead on a Columbia street early Wednesday morning after an apparent four-story fall, have found a place to grieve: On the two's Facebook Web pages.

Facebook and other social networking sites such as MySpace serve as an immediate way to connect with friends and share sadness. Groups were set up just after the April 16 shootings at Virginia Tech; Facebook also has a group set up to mourn the deaths of nine firefighters in Charleston on Monday.

Tumbleston's Facebook profile is filled with heartfelt condolences and dedications. One feature of the site is that virtual friends can post comments to a friend's "wall." One message from Krystal Shrider reads: "I love you Chelsea. You'll forever be in our hearts, we all miss you SOOO much! It's not gonne be the same, but you're legacy will live on!!!!! You now have wings, and will be watching over us all!"

Tumbleston's profile gives insight into the life of the young woman. A fan of all types of music, she also enjoyed cooking out with her roommates, sunbathing and meeting cute boys.

Tyler, who worked with Tumbleston at Wild Wing Cafe in the Vista, became virtual friends with her on June 5. Laurie McGranahan posted to his wall a little after midnight Thursday "Everyone misses you. you have been thought about every second of today...you will always be missed and thought about."

A former USC Beaufort student, Tyler was interested in working out and surfing, no surprise since he listed his hometown as Hilton Head.

Autopsies were scheduled Thursday for the two, who died after falling about 50 feet from the roof of a downtown office building. Police on Wednesday said their deaths were an apparent accident. Clothing was found on the roof. Richland County Coroner Gary Watts said the couple were students at the University of South Carolina, but on Thursday a school spokesman said they were not currently enrolled.

Tumbleston attended the Columbia campus in 2005-06 and Tyler attended the Beaufort campus during the same period, university spokesman Russ McKinney said.

The couple were found in the road by a cabdriver about 5 a.m. Wednesday. They were pronounced dead at Palmetto Richland Hospital, police said.
