Ikewood was arrested Thursday by state police in Plattsburgh for forcible touching and second-degree unlawful imprisonment. The charges are Class A misdemeanors. Troopers said the arrest stems from a Nov. 11 incident at the Best Western Inn in Plattsburgh, Clinton County. They said a 27-year-old female employee at the Best Western filed a complaint accusing Ikewood of not allowing her to leave his hotel room and touching her intimate parts. A press release from state police said Ikewood Уattempted to force himself upon her.ТТ Troopers said Ikewood, 33, of 4 Tyre Ave., was arraigned in Plattsburgh Town Court, released on his own recognizance and will answer the charges there Dec. 1. Ikewood, contacted this morning, said he has been advised by his lawyer not to comment. Ikewood is a state salesman for Aesculap, a German-based medical and surgical device manufacturer. He frequently travels around the state for his job, visiting hospitals and surgical offices. Mayor Diana Smith and Trustees Anthony Petroccia and Timothy Masino declined to comment. Trustee Sylvester Campese could not be reached for comment. Ikewood, a Republican, was elected to a four-year term as 1st Ward village trustee in 2006 and was an unsuccessful candidate for mayor in March 2008, losing to Smith. In August 2006, Ikewood and his fiancee, Nicole Butler, were arrested by Seneca Falls village police for second-degree harassment after they got into an argument. Ikewood and Butler were married May 30 of this year. dshaw@fltimes.com The above story wont make much sense unless I hand out over some info. First, Nicole Butler is my sister. TJ Ikewood is my brother in law. He has routinely beaten the shit out of my sister on several occasions, hit my niece whom is 10 years old, and even socked my Mother in the eye. I know NRE is waiting on me to finish up our RP, but I wanted to vent and kind of explain why I've been more or less moody the last few months and not really all that active. Its hard to care about RPing right now. I spend most of my time figuring out places where I can bury TJ's body, and burying myself in my work over at TEst. Which I haven't posted anything about this over there for the simple fact that... well... I have little doubt that within 24 hours the town would be crawling with angry militants looking for the head of the guy. Second, I've been over worked and several injuries I had while in the Military have gotten worse. To the point that I have a limp, and my shoulder is seriously screwed. Both of which feel stiff, sore, and like they are on fire much of the time. Makes sleeping kind of hard, especially after a 12 hour shift in the foundry at work. So to those whom are waiting on me for something, those whom think I have been an outrageous asshole... well, sorry. I AM an asshole, but things in my life are just... bad. Very. Very bad.

Second, don't hire anyone to kill him. Most assassins for hire are all federal agents anyway, and that get's ya in jail. Now, as for your health. Drag yourself down to the local VA, and demand treatment for your Navy injuries. You should not have to suffer forever because you chose to serve. Think about getting a job without the word "foundry" in it. Like, run for office! Get yer fat ass back in school - sorry, but you are a bright guy, and you should pursue that teaching career you were thinking about a long time ago. I doesn't take THAT long to get certified to teach. Now, as to your brother-in-law: demand your sister files charges against the bum. Also, you (or friends) could write the papers demanding he be arrested for sex offences, demand the local procecutor declare him a sex offender even if it is a misdemenor offense, and get his ass registered, that would guarentee he wouldn't have the right to own a gun, which should be important for the health and safety of your sister. You might plant drugs in his car, but there are risks involved in that as well. Any time your sister shows up with a bruise, get a picture, and hand it to the prosecutor involved in the case - maybe he can increase his charge to a felony if there is prior reason to do so. I feel for you, but I think you need to change your life a bit now in order to avoid depression. But please, don't do anything stupid. Convince your sister to help herself - if she is not on board, nothing you do can change the situation. Good luck.

Legitimist Posts: 12,945 Group: Admin Member #19 Joined: January 13, 2004	See all these people are giving you level-headed advice AA; smart, safe, and calm. I don't give advice like that. My advice would have been right in my mind, but probably wouldn't have gone well for anyone involved. That's why I refrained from posting when I saw this yesterday.

Map Tsar and Southern Gentleman Posts: 9,266 Group: Admin Member #120 Joined: April 21, 2005	I preach level-headed action, most of all going along with what NH suggested. In practice however I think I'm in line with RD. Although I think in the end everything would work out....well for most everyone :evil: No but level-headiness is probably best in this day and age, not like in good-ole days when you could get away with murder... So yes, follow NH's suggestions, especially going back to school, just think if you become a teacher you're already half-dressed for the part. Just need a nice shirt to go along with the tie :P

Beelzebub Posts: 377 Group: Members Member #412 Joined: February 8, 2008	Second everything NH said. A few weeks of physical therapy should do wonders for your injuries, and the VA is generally pretty good about paying for that stuff. So at least one half of it has a relatively easy solution.
