White College Guard Sparks Manhunt For 'Black Man in Hoodie,' Admits He Shot Himself By Accident
A college guard who accidently shot himself sparked a campus-wide manhunt in Minnesota after telling police he had been attacked by a “black man in a hoodie."
Brent "Chedda Bob" Patrick Ahlers, 25, was arrested by police following the incident on Tuesday night at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, CBS News reported.
Ahlers shot himself in the shoulder while on duty but told police that he had been attacked by a man he confronted in a wooded area of the campus. Dozens of officers then combed the campus for the suspect, provoking alarm when they failed to track down the gunman.

He later confessed that had brought his gun on to campus without permission and was afraid of losing his job if its existence was revealed to college authorities. He was arrested and is now facing a misdemeanour charge for falsely reporting a crime.
St. Paul Police officer Mike Ernester said the false shooting report created tension and concern on the university premises.
"It had basically 1,800 students held captive in their dorm rooms," Ernester said. "It had residents of the community fearful that a suspect was on the loose and they could be victimized at any moment."

University President Becky Roloff said: "While we are distressed and saddened that this incident occurred, we are relieved that no other members of the community were injured."
Roloff later confirmed in a statement that Ahlers had ben fired from his job: "He is no longer an employee of the University effective today, September 14.
A pair of Brooklyn bigots unleashed a ferocious attack on an interracial couple, dropping the N-word and threatening a lynching before viciously beating the twosome.
“I feel like I’m back 50 years ago or something,” said Anna, 38, who was attacked with her boyfriend, John, outside Coney Island Hospital last weekend.
“Being attacked for (our races) — it’s the first time,” she told the Daily News on Tuesday. “I’ve never felt any hate from people that live here.”
Anna is a white native of Moldova, while John, 42, is a black man from Trinidad. Both asked that their last names be omitted to prevent any reprisals from their accused racist tormenters.
Anna and John were planning to celebrate their sixth anniversary when they ran into the foul-mouthed assailants, who police identified as Bernard Szurant and Rudolph Evmenenko. The couple had just parked their car and was crossing E. 17th St. and Ave. R in Sheepshead Bay at 5:50 a.m. on Saturday when a soused Szurant and Evmenenko began their hate-fueled barrage, according to the victims and authorities.
“This is our neighborhood you f-----g n-----! Get out of here!” Szurant, 25, and Evmenenko, 27, allegedly screamed just before the 6:30 a.m. assault.
The pair threatened to “crack (John) open,” according to court documents.
The drunken assailants were slurring their words, recalled Anna, a home health aide.
“They were basically torturing (John),” she said. “They couldn’t hit him because he’s tall and they were smaller, (but) they literally attached to his body and wouldn’t let go. Like leeches.”
John was more concerned for his girlfriend’s safety.
“I was trying to sort of be a barrier between her and them,” he said. “I was more concerned about her because she just threw herself right in the middle of it.”
The vile insults escalated into threats. “Go back to your neighborhood, we’re going to lynch you, you f------ charcoal burner!” said one of the suspects.
John was paralyzed by the in-your-face insults and imminent threat of violence.
“They said something about ‘I want to lynch your a--’ or something like that. They know enough about black history to know that, apparently,” John said.
The attackers then jumped him, hitting him repeatedly in the face, cops said.
John sustained a gash to his arm as he tried to defend himself, according to court documents.
"A couple times they feigned that they had a weapon, acted like they had a gun, and that was a bit unnerving,” John said. “I said to him, 'You're not a man if you can't use your hands.’”
“(John) didn't want to cause serious injuries,” said Anna. “He was a professional boxer years ago. He knows how to protect himself from hits. If they couldn't get a good shot on him, he wasn't gonna take the first shot."
Anna said she starting pushing and kicking the two men.
“I started praying and begging God to help us,” she recalled.
"It was about a 10-minute ordeal from beginning to end,” John said. “It seemed like it went on forever but, as far as fights go, that's an eternity.”
When Anna tried to call 911, Evmenenko knocked the cell phone out of her hand and returned to beating, police said.
"This was going on all the way until the cops literally pulled up in the car and they grabbed them off of him,” Anna said.
Cops took both men into custody at the scene. But Szurant didn’t go quietly — and began threatening the black NYPD detective taking him into custody, police said.
“I know you,” he told the detective. “I know where you work. I am going to come to the 61st Precinct and f------ kill you, you f------ n-----.”
And the tirade continued.
“You p---- n-----,” he screamed. “I hate n------!”
Cops charged both Szurant and Evmenenko with assault, menacing, criminal mischief and harassment. Szurant was also charged with harassment in the threatening of the detective.
A judge ordered the two released from jail following a brief Sunday arraignment, with orders to stay away from Anna and John.
Calls to their attorneys were not immediately returned.
Szurant has an extensive criminal history with 23 arrests, including robbery, records show.
In October 2015, he was arrested for choking his sister in a dispute over money, according to court documents.
John was taken aback when he learned of his alleged attacker’s long rap sheet.
“So it's only a matter of time before he does something to really hurt somebody. I feel like I got to pray about this,” he said. “It sounds like he is on the path for a criminal career sort of thing. That's insanity."
Evmenenko is on the opposite side of the spectrum with just one arrest — criminal possession of marijuana in July 2016.
Neighbors said Szurant is often violent.
"He uses some type of drugs and that makes him react really angrily," said one neighbor who asked for anonymity. “The police have come 50 million times ... he threatened his mother with a knife.
"He's like any kid -- young, gets messed up in drugs and the wrong crowd -- and this is the reaction," he said.
Anna said she and John remain scarred by the experience, but they are not going to let it ruin their relationship.
As they walked down the street together in the following days, John told Anna to keep her head up high.
"We are closer now more than ever,” she said. “I feel that we've been more protective of each other. More sympathetic and understanding."
John said the terrifying ordeal made him reflect on the culture around him.
"I've always felt that living in this part of Brooklyn there is this sort of deep-seated racism,” he said. “For them to make that attack based on pure racism is a sad sort of commentary on where we are at in this society at this given time.
“It's disappointing, it was scary, it was unnerving,” he said. “But thank God we didn't get hurt."
A judge ordered the two released from jail following a brief Sunday arraignment, with orders to stay away from Anna and John.
Szurant has an extensive criminal history with 23 arrests, including robbery, records show.
In October 2015, he was arrested for choking his sister in a dispute over money, according to court documents.
In many cases, the law allows the defendant to be released from prison before a trial if he meets the requirements for bail. Before the judge makes the decision on whether to grant bail, he must hold a hearing to learn facts about the defendant including how long the defendant has lived in the area, if he has family nearby, his prior criminal record, and if he has threatened any witnesses in the case. The judge also considers the defendant’s potential danger to the community.
An Ohio fire department has suspended one of its volunteer firefighters for a racist Facebook post suggesting he’d prefer to save a dog in an emergency than a black person.
Tyler Roysdon, a volunteer for Franklin Township, wrote that if he had to choose between saving a dog or a black man from a burning building, the dog would get priority, because “one dog is more important than a million *******.”
Roysdon has since removed the post from his Facebook page, but a screenshot appears below.
Tyler Roysdon’s Facebook post, which has since been deleted, contained multiple racial slurs.
Once township officials discovered the post, Roysdon was suspended indefinitely, according to local station WHIO-TV.
HuffPost reached out to Roysdon, who did not immediately respond.
A woman who identified herself as Joei Frame Roysdon told WXIX-TV that she was Roysdon’s wife and said, “He admitted that he said things that were wrong and apologized.”
She added: “Everyone deserves a second chance and is also entitled to their own opinion.”
Contrary to popular belief, white people do, in fact, receive welfare benefits. What may also come as a surprise is that some of them even cheat to get it, and sometimes when that happens, a local or state government may come up with a plan that will make it so the white people who commit welfare fraud don’t have to go to jail for their crimes.
Such is the case in the state of New Jersey, where NBC New York reports that after more than two dozen arrests for Medicaid fraud happened in the Ocean County community of Lakewood, state officials created an amnesty program for people to confess their abuse of the program.
The Ocean County Recipient Voluntary Disclosure Program will start Tuesday and run for three months, according to the Office of the Comptroller, Medicaid Fraud Division.
Under the program, people would have to repay the benefits they received that they were not eligible for, plus a civil penalty. In addition, they would have to agree not to accept Medicaid benefits for one year, NBC reports. Those who meet all the requirements for the amnesty program will not be referred for prosecution, and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office will not pursue charges against them.
Currently, the program is open only to Ocean County residents who have received Medicaid benefits but are not already facing charges and have not already settled with the comptroller’s office.
State and federal authorities charged 26 people in the town of Lakewood with a list of fraud counts in late June and early July. Among those charged were a prominent local rabbi and a special needs teacher.
The charges stem from allegations that they failed to report or otherwise concealed income that would have made them ineligible for benefits. Those families are said to have collected more than $2.4 million in benefits.
According to NBC, the town of Lakewood’s population has tripled since 1980. The community is mostly Orthodox Jewish, and the town is one of New Jersey’s largest.
Religious leaders in the town support the program because it will let participants avoid prosecution.
So. Will this happen in a predominantly black town in New Jersey as well, or nah?
Asking for black people everywhere.
The president of mostly white Lipscomb University in Tennessee has apologized to students for hosting a dinner for an all-African-American group of students at his home that featured table centerpieces made up of cotton stalks.
According to the Tennessean, university President Randy Lowry invited African-American students to his home for dinner last week to chat about their experience at the university, only to have the students note the centerpieces which some found offensive.
Writing on Instagram, a student identified as “Nakaylayvonne” pointed out not only the centerpieces but also the cuisine served up.
“So I attend Lipscomb university and as most of you know that is a predominately white school. Tonight AFRICAN AMERICAN students were invited to have dinner with the president of the school,” she wrote. “As we arrived to the president’s home and proceeded to go in we seen cotton as the center pieces. We also stood and ate dinner, there were no seats to sit in and it felt very uncomfortable.”
“We were very offended, and also the meals that were provided resembled many ‘black meals’ they had mac n cheese, collard greens, corn bread etc. The night before Latinos also had dinner at his house and they had tacos. They also DIDN’T have the center piece that we HAD tonight. A couple of minutes went by, the president was coming around and asking for our names and what our major was. He finally got to our table and my friend @kay_cyann asked why there was cotton on the table as the center piece. His response was that he didn’t know, he seen it before we did, he kind of thought it was ‘fallish,’ THEN he said ‘it ISNT INHERENTLY BAD IF WERE ALL WEARING IT ‘ then walked off.”
After the social media backlash, Lowry responded on school’s Facebook page.
“Last night we invited Lipscomb African American students to our home for dinner to discuss their experiences at Lipscomb. Several students shared with me their concern about the material used for centerpieces which contained stalks of cotton, ” he wrote.
“The content of the centerpieces was offensive, and I could have handled the situation with more sensitivity,” he continued. “I sincerely apologize for the discomfort, anger or disappointment we caused and solicit your forgiveness.”
According to a diversity report, Lipscomb University’s student population is slightly over 7 percent for black students and 6 percent Hispanic.

Police in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said on Sunday that there is a “strong possibility” that the murders of two black men in the city last week were racially motivated, according to the Associated Press. A 23-year-old white man, Kenneth Gleason, is considered a person of interest in the fatal shootings, which happened two days and five miles apart. Gleason is currently being held on drug charges, as police say they do not have enough evidence to charge him with the murders yet.
On Tuesday night, a 59-year-old homeless man named Bruce Cofield was shot and killed in Baton Rouge in what originally seemed like a random crime. Then, two days later, 49-year-old Donald Smart was killed in a similar manner while walking to his restaurant job on Thursday night.According to a police bulletin obtained by The Advocate, in both cases, the gunman, wearing dark clothes and possibly a tactical vest, shot the men from a red sedan using a 9-mm handgun, then exited his car to continue shooting them multiple times. A witness reported hearing about 12 shots on Tuesday when Cofield was killed.
The shootings were later linked after ballistics tests, and a manhunt for the killer began. It’s not yet clear how Gleason became a suspect, but police said that his car matched the description of the vehicle they were looking for, and shell casings linked to the crimes were found inside.
The second victim, Donald Smart, was married with three children. He was a well-liked veteran employee at Louie’s Cafe, the busy 24-hour diner near LSU’s campus where he had worked for 20 years. The restaurant’s general manager, Fred Simonson, broke down in tears as he remembered Smartduring an interview with The Advocate on Saturday. “What Donald means to me as a person and Louie’s as an institution is not quantifiable — it’s not measurable,” Simonson said. “We’re not all perfect but, damn it, if this guy wasn’t close … I will love that man until the day I die.”
The diner, which was a half-mile from where Smart was gunned down, closed on Friday night so staff members could mourn.

A substitute teacher was fired from a Vermont school on Thursday after giving the Nazi salute in front of third graders.
The "long-term substitute" was talking with students at Georgia Elementary & Middle School when the incident took place,according to Seven Days.
"I'm at a loss on the whole thing," Franklin West Supervisory Union Superintendent Ned Kirsch told the Vermont publication on Friday. "People are shocked. People I've spoken to are at a loss for words."
Kirsch wrote in a letter to parents that kids were "standing with their arm out in front of them and the teacher was modeling the position."
The sub then "raised her arm slightly and said, 'And now we say, Heil Hitler,'" according to the letter obtained by Seven Days.
The teacher owned up to doing the salute and speaking the phrase, and was "immediately relieved," according to Kirsch.
She had been teaching at the school, located in Georgia, Vt., for many years and nothing like this had happened before, Kirsch wrote in the letter.
"It's not a pattern; never had a report about her, nothing," Kirsch said, according to Seven Days. "No one can quite understand what happened."
Kirsch told Seven Days that the teacher she was subbing for was set to return Monday and had been on maternity leave.
