Flim-Flam Man Fugitive Ran Down Bail Bondsman; Charged with Assault, DUI

(Charles County, MD) Maryland State Police captured a fleeing and fugitive flim-flam man, who is wanted, or perhaps unwanted, in more than a dozen states after he ran down a bail bondsman who was hot on the trail of the dirtbag.

Bart Kurtrick Mullins, (who has the word “trick” in his middle name) also has an address at 1435 Swan Street in Greensboro, North Carolina, as well as one on Housely Place in White Plains, Md. – and perhaps many more addresses, most of them fictitious – was arrested in June of 2014 for running down a West Monroe Louisiana Police officer at the scene of yet another alleged scam at a pawn shop.

CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS FROM A MARINE

Posted on

Upon returning my fourth deployment with the marines from Camp Lejeune, I had orders to Vietnam and spent 1965 as an advisor to a Vietnamese infantry battalion near the demilitarized Zone. By the time that I left Vietnam, I was a captain. Christmas was just another day, although the rear areas celebrated in one fashion or another. 1968 found me back in Vietnam first as a company commander in 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines and later as the operations officer. We were in the field for Christmas working with Vietnamese troops. I think that we did have a hot meal, but I am not sure. It was just another day. I do recall that one of the units had some type of Christmas tree and it was decorated with soda and beer cans along with other elements that could be found in a combat area. We got a big kick out of it. I still have a picture of it in one of my scrap books. Humor and relief is where you find it.
