MONTICELLO, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — A video recording shows the mayor of the Sullivan County municipality of Monticello in a heated confrontation after being arrested by his own police officers.

As CBS 2’s Steve Langford reported Sunday, Monticello Mayor Gordon Jenkins was arrested on Nov. 16, on suspicion of drunken driving.

He was taken into custody after showing up to take a look at a serious car accident on Main Street. A volunteer firefighter noticed the mayor looked drunk, according to police, and notified law enforcement. Jenkins was arrested on the spot.

In a video recorded at his own police headquarters, a man identified as Jenkins was shown seated in a chair with one hand handcuffed to a wall. During the first minute of the video, he is heard apparently talking to himself, using a variety of obscene insults to describe the officers.

Soon afterward, an officer comes in to interview him.

“You know something, Davis?” he says to the officer in the video. “I’m the one that hired you in this job, man. I mean, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter about that. But you know something? How the f**k you guys going to play the game?”  More Video

Brazilians wary over renewed mass beach robberies

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) -- With the tropical sun blazing from a near cloudless sky and waves lapping at golden sand, it seemed like a perfect day at the beach in Rio de Janeiro.

Then dozens of marauding youths descended en masse, snatching beach bags and cellphones, ripping gold chains from necks and setting off sandy stampedes by panicked beachgoers.

Such mass beach robberies were once a hair-raisingly frequent occurrence, but they had largely disappeared in recent years as this notoriously dangerous city got markedly safer - a trend credited to a galloping economy and police operations that wrested control of more than 200 "favela" hillside slums from the drug-dealing gangs that controlled them.

But the "arrastoes," or "big drags" as they're known in Portuguese, are back.  More

STOCKTON—A teen soccer team was the victim of a scary robbery that happened right in the middle of practice, Stockton Police say.

The incident happened at the tennis courts near Ews Woods and William Boss Boulevards just after 6 p.m. Saturday, according to Stockton Police logs.

Two teens, a 16-year-old and 19-year-old, are said to have walked up to the team and their adult coach. The 16-year-old then pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and racked a round, police say, and then demanded the team’s property.

Not only did the suspects make off with the team’s cell phones and keys, but also their gym bags. The two suspects then ran off.

Officers were able to find two teens matching the description of the suspects a little less than a mile down the road. Property stolen from the team was found on the two, and a sawed-off shotgun was found in the possession of the 16-year-old.

Both teens were arrested for robbery, weapons and conspiracy charges. The 19-year-old was identified as Khayree Lewis (pictured); he faces a further charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.  More

A German policeman has been arrested after the chopped-up body of a man he met on a fetishist website for cannibalism was found buried in his garden, police in the eastern city of Dresden said on Friday.

"The victim had been fantasizing about being killed and eaten by someone else since his youth," Dresden police chief Dieter Kroll told a news conference. It was not immediately clear whether any act of cannibalism had taken place.

The investigation recalled the case of Armin Meiwes, dubbed the "Cannibal of Rothenburg", who killed and ate a man who had advertised on the Internet for someone to kill him "and leave no trace". Meiwes, who filmed the act, received a life sentence in 2006.  More
