Updated: Pennsylvania Team Arrested At Holland Tunnel On Way To Rescue Drug Addicts


Posted June 22, 2016 8:39 PM ET; Last updated June 23, 2016 9:00 PM ET


Three people have been arrested outside a New York City tunnel after police found this huge cache of weapons in their vehicle. The collection included rifles, ballistic vests and a camouflage helmet.

This is the tragic young mother-of-two whose fatal heroin overdose sparked the bungled rescue mission that ended in the arrest of three heavily armed Pennsylvania 'drug vigilantes'.
Sierra Schmitt, 20 - mom to four-year-old twin boys - was found dead in bed on Monday morning after she visited New York City to do drugs and party.
Close friend Jenea Patterson, 17, woke up next to Schmitt's body and made a panicked call to her former youth counselor, Kimberly Arendt - one of three self-styled heroin crusaders who set off to try to save her in a monster truck laden with guns.
Arendt, 29, was arrested near the New Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel on Tuesday along with John Cramsey, 50, and Dean Smith, 53, after cops pulled them over for a cracked windscreen and found a huge cache of firearms and ammo.

The trio - part of a group called 'Enough is Enough' that claims to save heroin-addled kids from pushers - were held on Wednesday on $75,000 cash bail after they were charged with weapons offences and possessing marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
But in an exclusive interview with Daily Mail Online, Schmitt's mother Mandy Powell, 38, sprung to their defense, saying: 'These guys shouldn't be in jail - they are heroes not criminals.
'To do that for somebody else's child, I give them all the credit in the world. I just wish they could have got to my daughter in time.'


Schmitt's mother Mandy Powell, 38, sprung to the trio's defense, saying they should not be in jail and said she wished they got to her daughter sooner.

Powell had particular praise for ringleader Cramsey - a shooting range boss who lost his 20-year-old daughter Alexandria in February from an overdose of Fentanyl and heroin.
'He's right - enough is enough,' said Powell, a married rest area worker who raised Schmitt in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. 'We've both lost a daughter and someone has to get on top of this.
'I'd never heard of any of them until their names came up on the news but they have my full support. I'd like to meet them and thank them for trying to make a difference.'
Schmitt and Patterson are believed to have headed to Brooklyn's Bedford–Stuyvesant neighborhood to meet two men for a weekend of drinking and hard partying.
It is believed that Schmitt was injected with a 'hotshot' - a strong dose of heroin that rendered her unconscious.
'As far as I know they were with two gentlemen,' said Powell, who said she was still trying to piece together the fateful events after speaking to police, the coroner, and exchanging messages with Patterson.
[. . .]
'Jenea told me the two guys made them shoot up,' she added. 'Sierra passed out and one of the guys apparently said: "We're not gonna have much fun with her".
Powell said her daughter went off the rails and turned to drugs and alcohol after losing custody of her twins.
'She loved them as much as any mom could. But she was too young, too immature, and she couldn't cope,' she said.
'After she lost them she started getting wild and going out. She was partying, drinking alcohol - she gave me a run for my money, that's for sure.
'She was hanging out with the wrong people and ended up going to New York more and more because of the fast-paced life.
'She started changing, she got angrier, more demanding - but she would still call me faithfully every day. She was still my loving daughter.
'Sierra never kept anything from me and about half a year ago she told me she used heroin. She had been clean for a month - and then this happened.
'She was outgoing, she loved everyone, but she was too trusting. I just need to know what happened in that room.'

[From article]
The gun range owner who was arrested alongside two others outside of a New York City tunnel with a cache of weapons turned into a self-styled vigilante after tragically losing his 20-year-old daughter to a heroin overdose this year.
John Cramsey, 50, who runs Higher Ground Tactical in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, was with Dean Smith, 52, and 29-year-old Kimberly Arendt when they were pulled over outside the Holland Tunnel on Tuesday.
Authorities first stopped the group for a cracked windshield, before multiple loaded guns, rifles, knives, ballistic vests and a camouflage helmet were discovered.
When questioned, they described themselves as self-styled vigilantes, according to reports, and were on their way to a Brooklyn hotel where they wanted to 'extract' a teenager from a bad situation that possibly involved heroin.
The trio was detained on the four-month anniversary of the day Cramsey's daughter, Alexandria 'Lexii' Cramsey, died of a heroin and fentanyl overdose.
The 20-year-old girl, who passed away on February 21, was found with her boyfriend, Marquillis Calhoun, who was also dead inside of a Pennsylvania house.


They were detained on the four-month anniversary of the day Cramsey's daughter, Alexandria 'Lexii' Cramsey (pictured), died of a heroin overdose.


Following her death, the father consistently shared posts about it on Facebook and the battle against the drug.
In a post from February, he described himself as 'an addict' for his late-daughter, who worked as a professional model with three agencies in Atlanta, Philadelphia and Mexico.
'Now, I want to personally address the confusion of why we proudly display the 'SHOOT YOUR LOCAL HEROIN DEALER' decals,' Cramsey wrote. 'Who are you to judge me for my opinion.'
'Grow up and either get involved...or get out of here!' he added.
Cramsey also spoke in an interview not long after her death about visiting the place where she died in Allentown.
Just before he was arrested on Tuesday, Cramsey wrote on Facebook: 'I'm currently 11 miles outside of Brooklyn New York and going to a hotel to extract a 16 year old girl who went up there to Party with a few friends.
'One of those friends she went up there with will not be returning.
'This young lady from Wilkes Barre is scared and wants to come home. Last night she woke to find her friends body next to her in the same bed were her friend died of another heroin overdose.
'The Child named [censored] and she is from the Wilkes Barre area.
'A Facebook message to the Mother and the Brother with no response yet. I'm bringing her out of NY today and anybody else in that hotel that wants to go home too.'
Cramsey is believed to have tried to make similar rescues in the past few months.


Cramsey is believed to have made similar 'rescues' in recent months.

A picture of the fluorescent Dodge truck believed to be involved shows it covered with logos for the gun range. A sign in the back window reads: 'We The People'.
When Daily Mail Online reached Higher Ground Tactical by phone, they said they had heard something about the arrest but couldn't comment any further.
Around 2,000 rounds of ammunition were also discovered inside, according to reports.
One of the gun clips had 'Merica' written on and another had 'United We Stand'.
The Joint Terrorism Task Force is assisting in the investigation.
They said there was 'no nexus to terrorism,' according to NBC New York.
Law enforcement sources said they were 'gun authorities.'
Authorities believe the suspects were in possession of the firearms as part of criminal activity, likely heroin related.
Drugs were also found in the vehicle along with the guns, according to one law enforcement official.
One of the suspects allegedly told officers they were on their way to Queens.
A source initially told CBS New York they were going to shoot a rival dealer.
suspects reportedly said they wanted to save a friend who is on heroin and being held against her will in Brooklyn.
Police are still working to verify their story and the investigation is ongoing.
The Holland Tunnel carries Interstate 78 under the Hudson River and connects Jersey City with Manhattan.
It is one of the busiest commuter routes into New York City.
More than 34million vehicles use it every year.
A Port Authority spokesman told Daily Mail Online: 'Astute Port Authority Police work led to the stoppage of a vehicle on the New Jersey side of the Holland Tunnel this morning, leading to the arrest of three individuals from the state of Pennsylvania on a variety of charges related to illegal possession of guns and ammunition.
'At this time, the investigation is continuing, but the agency does not believe the incident is terrorism-related
'At about 07.40 hours a motor vehicle was stopped by Port Authority Police at the Holland Tunnel, NJ Toll Plaza for an equipment violation (cracked windshield).
'Multiple weapons (Rifles and handguns) some loaded. Under arrest are 2 males in their 50's and a female in her 20's. Charges are pending.'

Florida Police Rescue Dog Trapped in Septic Drain



Puppy in peril: Hearing the whimpering cries while on assignment, sheriff's deputies in Florida discovered a puppy in a collapsed septic drain.

[From article]
A dog that was found abandoned in a septic tank in Florida, has been adopted by the police officer that rescued him.
Deputies in Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County were out serving papers at nearby homes when they heard the dog whimpering in the distance.
Upon following the sounds to determine the source, it was found that a puppy had become stuck, neck deep, in a collapsed septic drain.
Thankfully, the officers were able to free the animal which would have surely died sooner or later.
While the dog wanted to get out of the drain, it became agitated when the deputy approached, so officers ended up using a catch pole to drag the animal out of harms way.
Scared and exhausted, the little dog was given several baths to clean him, before police began to stick up fliers around neighborhood in the hope they might be able to track down the original owner.
In the end, nobody came forward to claim the cute canine and so one of the hero deputies decided to adopt the pooch for himself.
'He had been balancing on his back legs to keep his head above the water,' said Deputy James Gettings, who now owns Puddles, to TCPalm. 'I don't know how long he had been in there. His hind legs weren't working once we pulled him out.'
Humane Society staff in St. Lucie neutered the puppy and gave him vaccinations,
After all that was done, the puppy was clean, able to walk again and given a clean bill of health.
Puddles is just a few months old. 'He mostly likes to lounge around,' the deputy said. 'He loves being home.'
Puddles joins Getting's family that includes his wife Rachael, their two-year-old daughter Evelyn, and their basset hound, Lacie.


A dog's life: After the deputy who found the dog and adopted him, the cute little puppy is now living in comfort.

Sheriff Rescues Dog From Texas Floods



Nehls discovered Archer, a 2-year-old female border collie mix, tied to a front porch at a home about 30 miles southwest of Houston this week, nearly submerged in murky flood waters (pictured).

[From article]
A touching rescue mission has ended with a Texas sheriff adopting a dog he helped save after the pooch was found chained to a house in knee-deep flood waters with no way to escape.
Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls had discovered Archer, a two-year-old female Border Collie mix, tied to a front porch of a home about 30 miles southwest of Houston last Tuesday.


The shelter said it took numerous baths to get the greasy film off Archer's coat from the nasty flood waters.

The dog was rescued by boat and taken to the Houston Humane Society where Nehls and his family went to visit her on Sunday.
'Archer was super excited to see the man that had helped save her life! It was love at first sight for everyone,' the shelter wrote in a Facebook post following the visit.
'Archer spent all afternoon giving kisses to the whole crew! At the end, the family voted unanimously to adopt Archer and make her part of their pack!!!'
Nehls confirmed the adoption that same day on his Facebook, writing: 'I am happy to say the only water this girl will be in now is the swimming pool in my backyard!
'We picked her up today from the Houston Humane Society. Welcome to the family!'

Religious Nuns Travel World Rescuing Sex Slaves And Children Slaves



They will go to whatever lengths needed to rescue the women. They tell tales of women forced to go without food for a week and eat their own faeces for not meeting the pimp's demands. Pictured: An Indian brothel.

[From article]
An army of nuns is travelling the world posing as prostitutes on street corners and in brothels as they try to rescue women and children held prisoner by human traffickers.
For the last 11 years 1,100 'religious sisters' have been working in 80 different countries, going undercover to save some of the hundreds of thousands sold into modern slavery every year.
[. . .]
'I'm not trying to be sensational but I'm trying to underscore the fact this is a world that has lost innocence
[. . .]
John Studzinski, a vice chairman of U.S. investment bank The Blackstone Group, said the treatment of some victims was horrific.
He told of one woman enslaved as a prostitute who was locked up for a week without food, [. . .] when she failed to have sex with a target of 12 clients a day.
In another extreme case, one woman was forced to have sex with a group of 10 men at the same time.
[. . .]
The religious sisters would go to any lengths the rescue them
'These sisters do not trust anyone,' he said.
'They do not trust governments, they do not trust corporations, and they don't trust the local police. In some cases they cannot trust male clergy.
'They work in brothels. No one knows they are there.'
The sisters were also proactive on trying to save children being sold into slavery by their parents, setting up a network of homes in Africa as well as in the Philippines, Brazil and India to shelter such children.
He said the religious sisters of Talitha Kum raised money to purchase these children.[. . .]
The group, which was set up in 2004, estimates one percent of the world's population is trafficked in some form, which translates into some 73 million people. Of those, 70 percent are women and half are aged 16 or younger.
'These are problems caused by poverty and equality but it goes well beyond that,' Studzinski told the Trust Women Conference on women's rights and trafficking.
Studzinski said the religious sisters working to combat trafficking would go to all lengths to rescue women, often dressing up as prostitutes and going out on the street to integrate themselves into brothels.
Studzinski said the network of religious sisters, that was in the process of expanding, also targeted slavery in the supply chain with sisters shedding their habits and working alongside locals for as little as 2 U.S. cents an hour to uncover abuses.

New York State Mother Drowns Trying To Rescue Daughter And Her Friend in Lake Erie



Hero: Creighton (photo above) rushed into the rough waters of Lake Erie when she realized the girls were having a tough time swimming. Officials recovered her body about a mile away.

[From article]
A heroic 51-year-old mother tragically drowned after trying to rescue two young girls, one of whom which was her daughter, from Lake Erie on Thursday evening.
Authorities identified the mother as Mary E. Creighton of Buffalo, New York.
The girls, ages 10 and 11, began struggling in the dangerous waters about 100 yards from shore when the woman rushed in to try and help them.
WGRZ reported the water was extremely rough with waves between five and seven feet high, making it difficult for rescuers to try and save all three of them.
[. . .]
A bystander helped the 10-year-old girl make it back to shore and told police that there were still two people in the water who needed help.
'My officers immediately started running and looking up and down the beach,' Evans Police Chief Ernie Masullo told WGRZ.
'They did notice a young girl bobbing in the water. One of my lieutenants stripped his uniform, stripped his firearm and ran into the water about a 100 yards out and grabbed the girl.
'He became in trouble and one of my other officers ran in and rescued both of them.'

North Carolina Husband, 90, Saves Wife, 68, From House Fire


Photo: COURTESY BERNADETTE SUCH
Arthur Schneider said his wife Rosemary is 'part of me.'


[From article]
A 90-year-old man pulled his wife of 68 years to safety in her wheelchair as a fire ravaged their North Carolina home.
Arthur Schneider jumped into action after a lightning storm hit a street transformer, causing flames to crawl through his Asheboro house, he told the Daily News Saturday.
Arthur immediately thought of his wife Rosemary, 89, who has Parkinson’s disease and dementia. She was all the way at the back of the house and cannot walk.
“I had to go back and get her,” Arthur said. “She’s part of me.”
[. . .]
Arthur, who grew up in the Bronx, wheeled Rosemary out to the front porch and ran across his yard — which is “the size of a football field ” — to get help from a neighbor, his daughter Bernadette Such said. He made the dash without his cane, despite his "terrible limp," she said.
[. . .]


Photo: COURTESY BERNADETTE SUCH
Arthur and Rosemary Schneider got married on Oct. 27, 1946.

Arthur shrugged off claims he acted heroically.
“I don’t know if it’s so incredible. I think anybody else would do the same thing,” he said.
But Thursday’s rescue was just the latest example of Arthur’s devotion to his wife, Such said.
Arthur has taken care of Rosemary, feeding her and cleaning her, since she was put in hospice care a couple years ago. He even insisted on putting her hospital-style bed next to his bed so they can sleep next to each other.
“My dad is a saint,” Such said. “I told him you’ll go straight to heaven for what he’s done for her the last two or three years.”
The couple met during World War II after Rosemary wrote to Arthur, who was serving in Guam in the Navy. Six months after they met in person, they got married in October 1946.

NAVY SEALS Rescued American Woman Kidnapped In Somalia




Captured: Jessica Buchanan (above) was 32 years old when she was in Somalia teaching children how to avoid landmines with fellow care worker Poul Thisted (below).



This story made me cry. Then I became angry. It is extraordinary that the US government was able to extract this woman and man doing charity work from Somalia captors. The rescuers deserve much praise. Yet I am unable to reconcile that wonderful effort by the military while I am being harassed daily on property owned and operated by The President and Fellows of Harvard College, in Cambridge, MA. It is the host city of MIT, Harvard University and Lesley University. City Councilors remind voters often that they are especially concerned for "the most vulnerable" civilians. But for more than 15 years, city, state and US officials ignored complaints about criminal abuses. I cannot understand that at all. Why are some individuals so special the US military sent a team of Navy SEALs to Africa; but on US land they allow brutal criminal harassment of a 70-year-old white male who the FBI used to fight organized crime for 15 years? Why did some Special Agents of the FBI conduct a 30-year defamation and character assassination campaign to destroy my reputation and stop me from working and having any social life?
