Drunk Commissioner Winton beats police officers

His breath smelling of alcohol, the Miami City Commissioner Johnny Winton last night angrily reminded airport police officers of his elected position before telling them ''Go fuck yourselves,'' according to a newly obtained police report.
After being led away in handcuffs, Winton hit a police officer's jaw with his shoulder and kicked another in the groin before losing his balance and falling on the marble airport floor, police said. Winton's face smashed into a wall.
Winton is charged with two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, disorderly intoxication and resisting arrest with violence. He was released early this morning after posting bond, authorities said. The charges filed against him stemmed from an incident that began about 7:30 p.m. Monday night when American Airlines ticket agents summoned officers from Miami-Dade's airport district station to Gate A-3, where Winton, awaiting a delayed flight to Houston, had grown "loud and abusive.''

Winton told them he didn't have to calm down, reminding them he was a city commissioner before cursing at them, according to the report. The commissioner ''had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath, had slurred speech and had been seen consuming alcohol at the bar at Concourse A,'' according to the police report.

After refusing to calm down and continuing to use foul language, Winton had to be handcuffed, police said. He attacked the officers -- and fell -- as he was being led to a squad car, police said. One officer sustained a chipped tooth, police said.

The commissioner refused treatment and was taken to the airport police station. As a precaution, he was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's jail ward before being booked into Miami--Dade County Jail.

''Johnny what?'' City Commissioner Angel Gonzalez said last night when told of Winton's alleged actions. "Wow. That's pretty bad. Those are pretty bad charges. I don't know what to say.''

''It's very regrettable that once again more colorful stories and unfortunate stories are coming from City Hall,'' neighborhood activist Horacio Stuart Aguirre said. "They exercise such power that they begin to believe that they are powerful, and they forget that they are citizens -- subject to the laws that apply to all other citizens.''

Here is a photo of Commissioner Johnny Winton after he got his beat-down from the Police. Apparently a corrupt scumbag politician can't always get what he wants. Hurray for Law Enforcement! Winton looks like he got a night-stick to the side of the head.

please copy & paste into your browser (she is the one on the right)

When my twin sister is not in a us military uniform and her physical identity is not restricted on a normal day to day basis in training, this is who she is and what she looks like. Clearly she is beautiful for who she is and her looks I relegate as at least average, hardly an ugly brawd. She has her own personality and her own style, just like any true INDIVIDUAL.
...the blog that you spewed unnecessary hatered on is hers and is mainly for close family and friends. So the "badazz" part, you would not get or find funny. This wasnt a glamour shot, it was one of the only few shots of her that have been taken while in training.

Unfortunately she doesnt have access often to a computer to read what you had written, and so I took the liberty of deleting the the comment you made as to spare her hurtfulness you would have caused had she seen it. I hope you feel fucking great, karma doesnt miss words either.

so if you would like to continue and persuade me of what your point was to that comment you can write me at ediemoss@gmail.com

I would have probably stopped to read your little blogs which probably arnt trafficed much to begin with, but considering your first impression, i wouldnt read it for a million dollars.

thanks much
