Michael Rositano charged in $30K theft of instruments from music studio
39-year-old Michael Rositano was jailed this week on an outstanding warrant from 2020, which details the theft of over $30,000 of music equipment from the studio of Jonah Fecteau. Police say the two had lived together for just over a year at the time of the theft. Detectives located some of the items at local pawn shops and Rositano used his own photo ID for those transactions. Over time, Rositano contacted the victim multiple times offering to “make it right”, and asking if he could just repay the money or be sued civically instead of prosecuted criminally, thereby confessing to the thefts.
Southwest passenger Kevin Comeaux found “dazed and confused” at airport bar
Nashville Airport Police found 22-year-old Kevin Comeaux slumped over and asleep at the bar of the Puckett’s restaurant on Concourse D. Officer awakened him for a welfare check and found him very “dazed and confused,” and it was apparent he had urinated on himself while at the bar. He refused to provide his name, only offering that he was fine and flying with Southwest Airlines. A Southwest representative responded to the bar and advised him he would be denied boarding due to his state of intoxication. The officer attempted to escort him to the unsecured side of the airport where he could be rebooked for a later flight; however, Comeaux refused to cooperate. He was taken into custody and transported to booking.
