ROGUE’S BAD COP REPORT– Molesting Cop resigns and pleads guilty Washington – Former Kitsap County Sheriff’s Deputy Michael Kleinfelder pleaded guilty Monday to one count of third-degree child molestation – a felony – for having sex with his 13-year-old baby-sitter three years ago.
Kleinfelder will have to register as a sex offender and could get six to 12 months in jail or on electronic home surveillance, Deputy Prosecutor Tim Drury said.
Kleinfelder will be sentenced Jan. 9.
The baby-sitter’s family said they were glad to have the incident behind them, but were upset that Kleinfelder might not go to jail for the crime.
“If this would have been a school teacher or a basketball coach, he (Kleinfelder) would have been in jail by now,” the victim’s father said.
Family members’ names are being withheld by The Sun to protect the victim’s identity.
Bad Cop… No Doughnut!

JANKLOW LIED, SAID HE SWERVED TO MISS A WHITE CAR– Two Highway Patrol troopers testified today that U.S. Rep. Bill Janklow said he swerved to miss a white car, then “gunned it” to get past the car before colliding with a motorcycle in the intersection of two Moody County roads on Aug 16.
“He stated that as he was coming south, coming to the intersection, a white car had come from the east, turned north and crossed over in front of him,” said Trooper Jeff Lanning.
Trooper Josh Olson had testified earlier that Janklow “said he had to goose it to get by him.”
Court has dismissed for the day. The prosecution will resume it’s case Wednesday.
During Lanning’s testimony, prosecutors showed a lengthy videotape taken in the trooper’s squad car as he drove Janklow to the hospital in Flandreau to draw blood, then back to the crash site.
During the drive, Lanning asked Janklow if he was driving fast at the time of the accident.
“I wasn’t speeding,” Janklow said on the tape. “There wasn’t any reason to be in a hurry. Maybe 65.”

KAPTAIN ROBBIE KNIEVEL JUMPS TODAY– I thought you might be interested in covering Kaptain Robbie Knievel’s next jump this Thursday, December 4th at Irwindale Speedway. Daredevil Kaptain Robbie Knievel Makes a “Clean” Jump Over 10,000 Dishes at Irwindale Speedway. Daredevil stunts and jumps over the Grand Canyon, moving trains and planes are everyday “chores” for Kaptain Robbie Knievel. On December 4th, Kaptain Robbie Knievel will attempt a jump that has never been done before at Irwindale Speedway … and it’s one that involves more than 10,000 dishes – equaling the length of 25 football fields, if laid end-to-end.
Why jump over dishes and not trucks or canyons? Dawn dishwashing liquid presented Kaptain Robbie Knievel with a unique jump opportunity, to jump over all the dishes – 10,000 in all! – that can be washed with just one 25-oz. bottle. The brand suggested the high flying stunt to see if America’s greatest motorcross daredevil can go as far as one bottle of Dawn.
More than 1,500 Californians are expected to chow down on breakfast. They will then surrender their dirty dishes to a dish washing crew of 300. The “Dawn Dishwashing Crew” will wash and dry more than 10,000 dishes in 20 booths, which will be then be sorted into dish racks spanning a 150-foot-long raised platform – if each dish is laid out (end to end), the length is equivalent to 25 football fields or 27 big cars.
We’ll report on the Jump next week.

BIKERNET FACTORY WORKERS– Two factory workers were talking. I think I’ll take some time off from work.” said the man.
“How do you think you’ll do that?” said the blonde.
He proceeded to show her…by climbing up to the rafters, and hanging upside down.
The boss walked in, saw the worker hanging from the ceiling, and asked him what on earth he was doing?
“I’m a light bulb” answered the guy.
“I think you need some time off,” said the boss.
So, the man jumped down and walked out of the factory. The blonde began walking out too.
The boss asked her where did she think she was going?
The blonde answered, “Home, I can’t work in the dark.”

“This is the perfect example of why we’ve become known as “The People’s Museum”, Massey-Swan continued. “Everything we have, all of our motorcycles, all of the photos and memorabilia are on loan.
