NJ Transit bus driver accused of lewd act of NOT keeping his hands on the wheel. YUCK!


Story by: Sarah Wallace
There is shocking video of a local bus driver on the road and behind the wheel who was engaged in a lewd act and is accused of putting his passengers at risk.
The bus driver for New Jersey Transit is facing criminal charges and was removed from his job.
A passenger with a camera caught the driver, 41-year-old George Simpson of Newark, in the middle of Lincoln Tunnel traffic and in the middle of this lewd act.
WARNING: The video and information below on what he was doing is graphic.
"She noticed he was performing a sex act on himself," said Patrick Metz, an attorney.
Attorney Patrick Metz walked Eyewitness News through the cell phone video taken by his client as she commuted to New York City on a New Jersey Transit bus on June 25th.
"She was sitting directly opposite the bus driver in the first row of seats," Metz said.
It was the evening commute and the driver was entering the Lincoln Tunnel with a packed bus.
"She videotaped this why?" Eyewitness News investigative reporter Sarah Wallace asked.
"The outrage, the danger he was putting the other passengers in and the other commuters, it is unspeakable," Metz said, "She's showing the other cars around. As you can see the walls of the tunnel are on the left side. And he's continuing all the way through the tunnel totally exposed."
Metz continued, "Now you can see he reaches for a handiwipe to address the situation."
NJ Transit gave Eyewitness News this statement: "The bus driver in question was immediately removed from service without pay, as a result of this disturbing and grossly irresponsible conduct."
"They say the terminated him," Wallace said.
"We don't know what happened before and we want to make sure it never happens again," Metz said.

Gay-Themed Music Video a YouTube Hit

He's a musician without a record label, a card holder without any remaining credit. And the gig that supplies what he calls "food money" may now be in jeopardy.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — He’s a musician without a record label, a card holder without any remaining credit. And the gig that supplies what he calls “food money” may now be in jeopardy.

But after events of the last week, Steve Grand said “I would die a happy man today,” and not for the reasons he’s suddenly getting attention.

Grand’s first music video, for his country-tinged rock ballad “All-American Boy,” was posted on YouTube last Tuesday. By last night, it had exploded, attracting more than 400,000 total views—nothing for top-charting videos from big-name recording artists, but an impressive figure for one from a complete unknown whose only promotion has been internet buzz.

The video cost just $7,000, a fraction of the major-names’ going rate, but it was a fortune to Grand, who came up with the entire budget himself by maxing out his only plastic to tell the video’s story.

“All-American Boy” portrays a young gay man who misreads signals from an apparently straight “all-American” male friend. On a day hanging out with the gang, the two guys and a girl take off in a car. She drives, as the guys sit together in the back, with the straight man, at one point, falling asleep on the gay man’s shoulder. Feeling like a third wheel, the girl eventually, angrily drives off, leaving the two men to pal around in the woods, where they end up stripping down and going skinny-dipping—even sharing a quick kiss. Ultimately for the straight guy, it was just all in good fun. But for the gay man, it was something much more significant, and he is left dazed, confused and longing.

The story was inspired by one of Grand’s own.

“I was a 13-year-old boy (at camp),” noted the 23-year-old singer-songwriter, speaking by phone from his hometown Chicago. “One of my counselors was warm and strong and he took an interest in me—not sexually, but as a friend, and it really moved me. I remember leaving with a horrible ache in my heart.”

While “All-American Boy” is told from the gay man’s perspective, Grand said he knew its tale of unrequited love would resonate across lines of sexuality. He’s received hundreds of postings on YouTube, Twitter and Facebook from viewers, both straight and gay, saying they understand such rejection and heartache.

“I’m not a crier,” noted Grand. “But since this all began, since people have been reaching out, I’ve been beyond moved, because so many people have felt what I felt, been through what I’ve been through.”

Grand said that upon discovering he was gay in eighth grade, he told friends, which quickly got back to his parents. They insisted he go to so-called “straight therapy,” which he endured for five years. But it didn’t work.

He logged his full freshman year at Belmont University in Nashville, but, due to the costs, returned to Chicago. His recent employment has run the gamut from modeling to supplying music for Catholic church events, the latter being what he called the “food-money” gig.

Grand said he has no idea where the YouTube success may take him, though he does admit he’s “not much of a singer” and more of a songwriter. “Of course, I want to continue to grow as a man and grow as an artist,” he commented.

For now, Grand appears happy just being the moment, immersed in all those postings. “Just the hundreds of people who have said, ‘Your story is my story. Thank you for this,’ is enough for me.”

“Like I said, I would die a happy man today,” Grand continued. “And it’s the first time in my entire life I can say that.”

Woman hires undercover cop as hitman! Caught on video!

Part 1 Part 2
 Story by Rob Spahr/NJ.com


MUSKEGON, MI – A former New Jersey woman thought she was hiring a hit man to kill her husband, because she said “it was easier than divorcing him.”

But the man she solicited to off her husband was actually an undercover police officer, according to a report by MLive.com.

In a video of her interaction with the “hit man” – released to MLive by the Muskegon County Prosecutor’s Office – Julia Charlene Merfeld, 21, explained why she wanted her husband dead.

“When I first decided to do this … it’s not that we weren’t getting along,” she says on the video. “But … terrible as it sounds, it was easier than divorcing him.

"You know, I didn’t have to worry about the judgment of my family, I didn’t have to worry about breaking his heart, all that stuff like this. It’s, like, how I got a clean getaway.”

Authorities said Merfeld told the fake hit man that he’d be paid $50,000 in installments from the proceeds of her husband’s $400,000 life insurance policy.

The two conversations between Merfeld and the undercover police officer took place on April 9 and 10, during which she clearly and matter-of-factly discusses the murder plan – laughing occasionally, checking the possible dates for the killing on her phone and telling the hit man that she did not want her husband to suffer.

After the supposed hit man tells her he’ll fire two bullets into her husband’s head and that “he’s gonna die,” Merfeld smiles uneasily and says “it makes me sad.”

Carlos Ramos, a coworker of Merfeld’s, told MLive that Merfeld offered him $50,000 to kill her husband. He called police instead.

According to MLive, Merfeld and her husband had recently moved to Muskegon from New Jersey as a result of a job transfer for the husband. The couple has two young children who were staying with relatives in New Jersey at the time of the April meetings.

During her second meeting with the detective, Merfeld shows him a bundle of notes that he had requested, including directions to the home and a floor plan, as well as a photo of her husband.

“That’s him,” she says before handing the officer a $100 bill as a down payment.

As the final conversation ends, Merfeld’s shakes the hand of the supposed killer, who wishes her luck.

“Thank you. Good luck to you, too,” she says with a smile just before exiting the vehicle.

Merfeld was arrested shortly afterward and has been lodged in the Muskegon County Jail ever since.

She pleaded guilty to solicitation to murder on June 27. However, her husband and intended victim asked that she get no jail time at all, according to MLive.

Instead, Chief Muskegon County Circuit Judge William C. Marietti committed to cap her minimum sentence at six years. The maximum can be anything up to life in prison, depending on Marietti’s decision at Merfeld’s sentencing July 30.
