COLLINS SHIPPING CEO ARRESTED.

          Liam Collins, founder and head of Collins Shipping Inc, was arrested Friday afternoon, after a prolonged trip over seas.  The New York native was greeted by Federal agents, and arrested on income tax evasion charges.  He was arraigned and released on five million dollars bail, and forced to surrender his passport.  The market scrambled to day to keep up with investors dumping CSI stock in a panic after the charges were confirmed. 

          A representative from Collins Shipping assured investors that, "the charges are malicious and untrue,"  and, "have nothing to do with the Collins shipping."  He continued on by stating that the IRS had found no fault with the financial practices of the business itself, but there were easily explained mistakes in Mr. Collins personal accounting.

          Collins Shipping arrived on the scene in the early 1970's . . . .


COLLINS BAIL REVOKED FOR DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE.

      
        Police officers responded to a noise complaint at the Collins residence late Saturday night, sources say.  Officers had to subdue and arrest Liam Collins, who not a day earlier had just been released on bail for Federal charges.  While no charges were filed against the business man, a judge ordered his bail be revoked early this morning.

      This is not the first time Collins has been brought in on domestic violence charges, one earlier this year, and various complaints back in 2005 and 2004.  As of this date, no charges have ever been filed against Mr. Collins.

Hey, Honeybear. You need me to do anything?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

No, I'm fine. Things are just crazy.

[bookish-blonde.livejournal.com]

I bet. If you need to get away, just come over. I'm at 400 West 43rd, #6. Phantom would love some attention. And I have a pullout couch if you need it.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

That's really sweet of you, I'm just not in any shape to go out right now. Plus there are people outside. When things settle down I'll go.

[bookish-blonde.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm sure it's swarming with people. If it gets really bad and you need an escape hatch, you've got one.

[isalsogreat.livejournal.com]

You and Jonba are coming to stay with me.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

He's gone, he can't hurt me any more.

[isalsogreat.livejournal.com]

And, what, he's just going to give up and not hire people?

Why argue with me? You'll get to stay in a cool hotel room.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Why would he hire people?

I am not arguing with you! I'm just . . . nervous.

[isalsogreat.livejournal.com]

Because he's an asshole that likes to control you, and if he can't do it in person he'll get someone else to do it for him.

Nervous about what?

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

Is that your father?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

Did he hit you?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

N-no. I picked a fight with him.

[alloy-avenger.livejournal.com]

How?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Did he hit you?! Are you ok?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

I will be fine, please don't worry, Hiro.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Of course I will worry, but if you say you are ok, then I will worry less.

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

I feel bad that you worry, but I am all in one piece. How are you?

[john-ispyro.livejournal.com]

Are you okay?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes, I am okay, John. Thank you.

[terry-crabtree.livejournal.com]

Are you and brother alright?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Yes, we are okay, Jonba slept through everything, he always does.

[terry-crabtree.livejournal.com]

That's good, and you're really okay? He didn't hurt you or anything?

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

I will live, Terry. I told you I am as tough as nails, nothin' can hurt me! Laughs
