ROGUE’S BAD COP FILES– Ex-Cop gets 5 years for planting pipe bombs on highway North Carolina – A former Winterville police officer convicted last year of planting pipe bombs along N.C. 11 has been sentenced to five years in prison.
Thomas Uzenski, 35, also must serve three years of supervised probation and pay a $5,000 fine as part of the federal sentence imposed Monday by Judge Malcolm Howard.A jury found him guilty in October of two counts each of possessing and manufacturing a destructive device and one count of obstruction of justice.
The sentence came almost two years after Uzenski was called a hero for finding a pipe bomb on the side of N.C. 11 near Forlines Road on March 25, 2002. Another bomb was found the next day in almost the same place.
A month later, Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents arrested Uzenski for planting and pretending to find the bombs.
Bad cop, no doughnut.

COUNTDOWN TO FLORIDA BIKE WEEK– The NASCAR races are in Daytona Beach this weekend and to many that means the start of the parties. The area bars and hotels are gearing up for the increase of people coming to the area.
Bike Week is only a few weeks away and already there are things in the newspaper, radio, bike shops and bars about what is happening where and wanting you to come visit them.
Typically Bike Week in March which is actually 10 days and this year is February 27th to March 7th draws around 500,000 people. It has continued to spread through Volusia County and now includes Orange County (Orlando) to the West and Brevard County (Cocco Beach) to the South.
They are estimating that the numbers will increase to 600,000 this year by including other areas.
Orlando is having a BIG PUSH and many people are opting to go there and take the hours ride to Daytona Beach for what ever they want to see.
Cocco Beach just South of Daytona off I-95 is a big attraction that draws 20,000 nightly to the area year round. With Florida Today paper reporting 292 Hotels and Motels, 198 Restaurants, 5.4 Miles of Shoreline and numerous other facts it is a hot spot. They left out the part about it being a Biker Friendly area. And those that chose to go there during Bike Week will tell you it definitely is.
There are more and more people doing the trip to Key West. There is a lot to do in Florida and No Snow.
Within the 10 days of Bike Week it has been estimated that the Bikers spend $300 Million Dollars. No wonder the surrounding areas want a piece of the action.
90% of the motorcycles that come to Bike Week are said to be Harley-Davidsons but those numbers are changing as the import motorcycle are showing up more and more.
It does not matter who you are, doctor, lawyer, Indian chief, male, female, RUB (Rich Urban Biker) 1% or a momma?s boy or girl Daytona Beach and the surrounding area is PARTY TIME.
I will continue to do weekly reports on what is going on in the area and visiting some of the places that you may want to visit.

I will be doing the Ole Skool Chopper Show and have been invited to visit Softails Saloon at 2365 International Speedway in Deland. Wet T-Shirts, Exotic Dancers and Full Liquor Bar.
