\"\"D’ya remember that Flava Flav<\/strong> restaurant venture, just off “Crack Alley<\/strong>,” that sounded “too crazy to be true<\/a>“? Nah, me neither<\/a>. It quietly went bust earlier this year. Well, now the “aging reality TV star<\/a>” is in a different sort of bust, accused of — among things — pursuing his prospective stepson<\/a>, knives in hand. The former William Jonathan Drayton Jr<\/strong>. won’t need a big clock to know what time it is: It’s jail time! Most of Mr. Flav’s previous interactions with the local constabulary were of a petty nature: over-loud Independence Day<\/strong> fireworks, stuff like that.<\/p>\n

But to be accused of felonious assault<\/a>, that’s moving up into the big leagues — or high minor leagues, anyway — of crime. But don’t feel too bad for Mr. Flav, whose wares are currently on offer at Planet Hollywood<\/strong>‘s Miracle Mall<\/strong>: He was able to post a $23K bond and I’m sure his suburban Vegas neighborhood is feeling safer than ever.<\/p>\n

Hit men offing<\/strong> inconvenient spouses and informants<\/a> is nothing new in Sin City. However, the recent murder conspiracy (allegedly) cooked up between firefighter George Tiaffay<\/strong> and his homeless pal Noel Stevens<\/strong> is exceptional in \"\"its brutality — too savage to be described here — and ineptitude. Around here, $600 buys you somebody who can’t keep their mouth shut and leaves his DNA at the crime scene. (As soon as I read “vodka had been consumed from a bottle in the refrigerator,” I knew Stevens was toast.) Palms Resort Casino<\/strong> employees have good cause to mourn the loss of their colleague, Shauna Tiaffay<\/strong>, who sounds like just the sort of person you’d want to hire. Whoever is responsible for the horrific crime deserves to fry, and I hope they do.<\/p>\n

Rounding out our mini-survey<\/strong> of dead-enders in Las Vegas<\/strong> are two University of California-Berkeley<\/strong> douchebags whose idea of a good time was \"\"to kill exotic animals. Not just any old exotic animals, either, but a Helmeted Guinea Fowl,<\/strong> right in the middle of the wildlife sanctuary at the Flamingo Las Vegas<\/strong>. Given the degree of investment casinos make into surveillance, that’s sort of like setting fire to a homeless man in Times Square<\/strong> and expecting to beat the rap. Eric Cuellar<\/strong> (left<\/em>) and Justin Teixeira<\/strong> claimed to be law students, and they’re about to receive advanced studies, that much is for sure. (They look criminally stupid, too, but cannot be tried for cretinism.)<\/p>\n

While there seems to have been a third sac du douche<\/em> involved<\/a> in the barbaric killing of “Turk<\/strong>,” Cuellar’s and Teixeira’s Boalt Hall<\/strong> bromantic partners are all, you might say, lawyering up<\/a>. Fourteen grand got the douchey duo sprung from \"\"Metro’s clutches, though I’d be very much surprised if these pretty boys show up for trial<\/a>. Fines will be probably be quietly paid and that’s the last we’ll hear of the matter. If California<\/strong> scumbags can afford bottle service — let alone $14,000 worth of bail — what’s the cost of a $175 bird to them? (Card counters would face a worse fate than these lowlifes do.)\u00a0 However, even if Teixeira (right<\/em>) and Cuellar are indeed innocent of killing “Turk,” their alleged behavior toward hotel security would suggest their guilty as hell of a depraved indifference to life. The blandly indifferent expressions on their faces say it all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
