12 year old calls 911 from closet during home invasion
A 12 year old Arizona boy hid in the closet as two men invaded his family’s home, a recently released 911 call reveals.
The boy, who was not identified, can be heard on the call telling the
911 operator to “Please get help,” as the suspected burglars kicked in
the back door of his Scottsdale home on Monday.
“They're trying to break down the door right now…I can hear them,” the boy says on the call.
“I think they might be inside,” he says, also whispering that he is in a bedroom closet. “Please send help.”
The suspects first knocked on the door of the boy’s home Monday morning, but the 12-year-old did not answer.
The boy, who was home alone at the time, listened to the suspects
rummage around his house for 15 minutes while the 911 operator stayed on
the phone as his lifeline.
“Does it still sound like they’re in the bedroom with you,” the 911 operator asks.
“No, I think they’re in the kitchen right now,” the boy responds.
The scary situation turned even more terrifying when the boy came face-to-face with the suspects.
“Please don’t hurt me,” the boy says.
“Did they open the door,” the 911 operator asks.
“Yes, they’re running. They’re running ... they saw me. ... What do I do? What do I do?,” the boy replies.
By the time the suspects left the boy’s home, police had the home surrounded.
According to the Scottsdale Police Department, Robbie Jay Johnson Jr.,
36, and Cole Austin Lewallen, 31, were arrested and charged with
multiple felonies.
Investigators say both men have criminal records.
The boy was not hurt in the incident.

Lecturer rapes 18- year-old female seeking admission in Unilag
A part-time lecturer at the University of Lagos, Akoka, Afeez Baruwa,
has been arrested by the police in Lagos for allegedly raping an
18-year-old girl, identified as Caroline (not her real name).
It was learnt that the victim, who was reportedly raped inside a study room, was seeking admission into the University.
Baruwa who was arrested by the Surulere Police Division on Monday,
August 3 told the police in his statement that the sexual intercourse
was by mutual consent, insisting that he did not rape the victim.
Caroline got to know the lecturer through her Dad because they
both belonged to the same landlords’ association in the Abesan, Ipaja
area.
It was gathered that the victim’s father had allowed her daughter to
follow the lecturer on July 23, to UNILAG for an admission process.
According to reports, Baruwa allegedly took the girl inside one of the study halls, bolted the door, and raped her.
After the incident, Caroline, who told her parents about the rape, was
taken to a non-governmental organisation, Mirabel Centre, where she was
tested and the medical result reportedly confirmed that the teenager had
been raped.
After the confirmation, Caroline was taken to the Lagos State Office of
the Public Defender, where the matter was reported at the police
station. Baruwa was subsequently arrested.
A police source in Surulere said:
“The suspect is actually a friend of the father of the girl. The girl had written the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination, and she needed assistance with the post-UTME.
“So, the father sent her to meet and discuss with the lecturer.
“But, it turned out that on July 23 when the girl visited the suspect, he raped the girl in the study room.
“The suspect confessed to the act, but his claim is that the sex was by mutual consent.”
The Director of the Office of the Public Defender, Mrs. Omotola Rotimi,
said the OPD would write a letter to the UNILAG Vice-Chancellor on the
incident, so as to ensure that such did not happen again to anyone.
She said,
“The victim’s father wanted the lecturer to assist with his daughter’s admission. On the fateful day, the girl left with the lecturer as early as 5.30am, and they got to the school at about 7am.
“No one had arrived at the hall except a woman. While the exams had yet to start, he raped her. She went home, and the father found out that her daughter had been raped. He took her to the Mirabel Centre, which then informed the OPD.
“The centre also contacted the police at the Surulere and Isokoko divisions, and the suspect was arrested.
“We are going to defend the girl, and we are writing the VC. The suspect is said to be in the Department of Accounting. He claimed the sex was consensual, but that is not a defence.”Baruwa, who is currently in custody, will be charged to court on today, Thursday, Aug 6th.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Patricia Amadin, confirmed the arrest.
She said:
“The suspect claims to be a part-time lecturer, but not an employee of the University of Lagos.
“He has confessed to the crime and the medical result proved same.”
