Joseph Longo Jr didn’t want marriage with Kristin to end

When Utica police Investigator Joseph Longo Jr. left a divorce proceeding Monday, he didn’t appear to be angry about what was going on, his attorney, Devin Garramone, said Wednesday.

Grief stricken.

Grief stricken.

Likewise, his wife, Kristin Longo, seemed satisfied with how the day’s proceeding had ended, according to her attorney, George Massoud.

But in the few hours that followed, something went terribly wrong.

While Longo Jr.’s reasons for stabbing his wife more than a dozen times later that afternoon inside their Deerfield home will forever remain left to speculation, his attorney offered what he believed might have pushed

Longo JR.

Longo JR.

the 13-year police veteran over the edge.

“He was still in love with her, and I think that he would have been happier to reconcile with her than get a divorce, but then it finally dawned on him that he was losing his wife,” said Garramone.

“The prospect of losing her,, and her meeting somebody else and starting a new life, it freaked him out,” Garramone added. “Like any typical break-up, there was a period of reckoning, and I think that’s where he was it. It was a real critical point, and he just went overboard.”

After 41-year-old Longo Jr. repeatedly stabbed his wife shortly before 4 p.m. Monday, he then stabbed himself about 20 times and slashed at his throat, police said. Once Kristin Longo died, Longo Jr. was alive long enough to be discovered by their 8-year-old son and to admit to the stabbings.

Although Kristin Longo, 39, did fear for her safety as her husband’s emotional stability spiraled downward in the weeks leading up to the murder-suicide, she appeared to believe everything would be OK after Monday’s appearance in state Supreme Court, Massoud said.

Eats them yes we do.

According to the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Unit a Westmoreland man was arrested for possessing hallucinogenic mushrooms. According to Inv. Richard Dodge, arrested was Scott M. Colony age 27 of Furnace Street in Westmoreland.

The Sheriff’s road patrol received a call from the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office in California regarding a suspicious package which was to be shipped to a Westmoreland address by way of UPS. The package was checked and it was found to contain mushrooms. The package was then secured by the Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office and a call was placed to the Sheriff’s Office in Oneida County.

This is why women should not drive

Seriously though I have been saying it for ten years now. After you hit 65 years of age you should be up for taking a drivers test again, repeating every three years. I can not believe this old lady did not get hurt.

Ladies and steering wheels do not mix.

Ladies and steering wheels do not mix.

A 73-year-old Utica woman escaped any major injuries Wednesday afternoon when she drove her sport-utility vehicle over a ledge in the parking lot of M&T Bank on Genesee Street and landed on top of another car.

Phyllis Spataro remained behind the wheel of her SUV as it teetered atop the hood of a second SUV parked in a lot adjacent to the State Office Building at about 1 p.m. Wednesday, police said. City firefighters then quickly arrived and helped her climb down.

Although Spataro doesn’t recall exactly how the accident happened, witnesses told police that they heard her engine revving before the SUV drove over some bushes and a curb in parking lot, Utica police Sgt. Tom Brady said.

Her vehicle then crossed a small exit driveway, traveled through several more bushes that lined the roadway before it careened over the edge and into the sunken parking lot below, Brady said.

Bomb-Making Teen bombs Off Own Hand

That deserves two thumbs up .. oh .. wait.

Look mom no hands.

Look mom no hands.

NORTH BABYLON, N.Y. (WPIX) – The Suffolk County teenager who severely damaged his hand while attempting to construct a homemade bomb had a deep fascination with the Columbine High School massacre, officials said.

During a press conference Tuesday, Suffolk County authorities said 17-year-old Vincent Pizzonia had pictures on the back of his bedroom door depicting the 1999 tragedy in Colorado. It isn’t clear whether the images included victims of the ordeal or the two suspect s- Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris. 12 people were killed in that attack and 21 others were injured.

Pizzonia told police he was going to detonate the explosive devices in his backyard, but considering the seriousness of what they found in his bedroom, officials say the investigation is ongoing.

According to police, Pizzonia accidentally set off one of his explosives and severely damaged one of his hands Monday evening.

Officers arrived at 29 Pell Avenue in North Babylon, Long Island just before 7:30 p.m. when the youth’s parents called 911 to report their son was injured.

Police say the teenager, a student, was in the process of creating an improvised explosive device in his basement at the time of the unexpected detonation.

The young man’s parents transported him to Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip in unknown condition. Reports say the teen may have blasted one of his hands off.

House might be a little cheaper now.

A Utica Police officer stabbed his wife to death, then turned the knife on himself Monday afternoon in an apparent murder-suicide.

According to State Police, they responded to a 911 call around 4 p.m. Monday afternoon at 10508 Cosby Manor Road in Deerfield. Authorities said a child had discovered the bodies of their parents in their home – both were bleeding from stab wounds.

A female victim, Kristin Longo, 39, was dead at the scene, while her husband, Joseph Longo Jr., 41, was alive, but severely bleeding. At the scene, Longo admitted to police that he had stabbed his wife multiple times with a household knife and then turned the knife on himself. The knife was recovered at the scene. When asked if, Longo being a police officer, any guns were found at the scene, Coots said no.

Longo, an active Utica Police Investigator for several years, and a part-time security officer at Proctor High School, was taken from the scene by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Medical Center, where he died of his self-inflicted wounds around 4:30 p.m Monday afternoon.

The couple were found in what Coots referred to as “a common room” of the Cosby Manor Road. Coots said they were still processing the residence, and so far, no note describing reasons for the actions was found.

Amusement park: 1 Victim: 0

I always say, when the kids start acting up…pack your suitcases, we’re off to Playland…they know what I mean, and pipe down real quick.

NEW YORK – A young woman died in an accident on a gyrating ride with a deadly history at a landmark amusement park, a police spokesman said.The woman was killed while riding the Mind Scrambler around 9:30 p.m. Friday at Playland Amusement Park in Rye, N.Y., said Westchester County Police spokesman Kieran O’Leary.

Emergency workers responded quickly, but “but there wasn’t very much anybody could do for her,” O’Leary said. The woman, who was in her 20s, was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.

Police were investigating early Saturday, and no details about the circumstances of the accident were available. The woman’s name was not released because authorities were working to notify her family, and it was not known whether she was riding the Mind Scrambler alone or with friends, O’Leary said.

The indoor attraction spins riders around in a darkened tent with flashing lights. It was the scene of another fatal accident on May 22, 2004, when 7-year-old Stephanie Dieudonne wriggled free of the restraining bar on one of the cars, knelt on the seat and fell soon after the ride started, according to investigators.

The amusement park was not cited for any violations or required to make improvements to the ride after the girl’s death, but officials announced plans to add seat belts, more lighting and a second attendant at the Mind Scrambler.

N.Y. Pizza Pie served with crabby toppings and lap dances

Hand tossed will cost you an extra $50. Can I order one with no topping? Excuse me, there’s a curly hair in my calzone.

In a city that seems to have everything, it’s amazing what we’ll still be surprised to find. Take for example what CBS 2 HD recently uncovered going on in the back of a pizzeria.

Let’s just say it’s hotter than the pizza served up front.

On the outside, Cordatos looks like your ordinary pizzeria, but inside customers are offered something way too hot and spicy to be found on the menu.

Lap dances. Yes, you read that correctly.

A walk through the restaurant past the pizza ovens, leads to a heavy soundproof door, where inside the back room $10 buys you a few moments of lap dancing by barely dressed exotic dancers, a dance too graphic for most newscasts.

“When you are in the Big Apple anything and everything goes,” one patron said.

The anything and everything on this menu includes extremely close body-to-body contact during the lap dance. Judging from the crowds CBS 2 HD saw during our hidden camera investigation, it’s a popular pit stop just blocks from ground zero, where construction workers and Wall Street traders find a slice of pleasure in the least likely of places.

“The guys go at lunch time,” one man said. “It’s not a bad thing either, relieves a little pressure.”
