BOSTON -- The Red Sox and Major League Baseball officials are planning tight security in Florida Monday when Boston plays the Devil Rays after the team received a threat against the club's black and Latin players.

The team received a threat mailed from the Memphis, Tenn., area targeting the players and citing at least two by name, the Boston Herald reported.

Police are searching for a suspect believed to originally be from the Baltimore area but now living near Memphis.

The players were warned about the threats and will likely have extra security for the games at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla.

The Sox are sending some of the team's top security officials as is MLB and both the FBI and local law enforcement officials in Florida have been advised of the threat.

The team is scheduled to play the D-Rays Monday through Wednesday, but the threat is not believed to be related to the recent brawls between Sox and D-Rays players which erupted earlier in June.

Red Sox officials declined to comment about the threat report.

Turkey Shot, Killed After Charging Police
Man Arrested After Altercation About Bird

BOSTON -- A Martha's Vineyard resident was arrested earlier this month after an altercation with police officers who shot and killed a turkey that the man had been taking care of, according to Martha's Vineyard Times.

Chilmark police officers responded to a call from two people on June 15 who said that the bird attacked them as they were making a baby equipment delivery at 27 Old Ridge Hill Road.

The turkey, named Tom, was being cared for by next-door neighbors Jonathan Haar and his wife, Linda. Officials said that Jonathan Haar's protest over the bird's death led to an altercation, and he was arrested and charged with battery and resisting arrest, the newspaper reported.

Alissa Keenan, who was making the delivery for Bear Baby Equipment Rentals with Altino DaVila, said when they arrived, they saw the turkey in Haar's yard.

DaVila said that the bird ran up to him and started attacking him when he started to take equipment out of his delivery van. Keenan said that when she tried to help her co-worker, the bird ran after her.

Police said that when they arrived, they saw the baby equipment outside the van and a female turkey on the front lawn. Soon after, a large male turkey appeared and jumped at the officers, and tried to peck them with its beak.

An officer kicked the bird, but it charged at him and he fired two gunshots. The bird was hit and it ran away. The officer chased the bird and fired a few more shots, killing the turkey.

The officer said that he heard Haar and his wife screaming at them through the woods, asking what was going on. When Haar learned that the turkey was dead, police said, he approached the officers, punched one in the mouth and one in the chest.

Haar was arrested and charged with two counts of assault and battery on a police officer and resisting arrest. A hearing was set for June 30.

Haar asked police if he could give the turkey a decent burial, but the police chief said that residents couldn't legally possess a turkey -- dead or alive -- unless it's during the turkey season and a permit is obtained. ***I wonder what 2-3 .40 cal rounds do to a large turkey? There must still have been cops plucking the sucker for a lil cacciatore'...hehe BC

MIAMI (Reuters) - A "brothel bus" that detectives said cruised Miami Beach offering lap dances and drinks has taken its last ride, police said on Wednesday.

Riders were offered oral sex for $100, according to Miami Beach police who impounded the limousine bus and arrested its operator early on Sunday.

The sleek black bus cruised the South Beach neighborhood popular among tourists and club-goers, offering rides and unlimited drinks for $40.

Aboard, undercover detectives said they found a fully stocked bar and several young women who stripped down to reveal G-strings stuffed with cash and offered to perform sex acts.

Suspected operator Christine Morteh, 29, was arrested on charges of offering to commit prostitution, transportation for the purpose of prostitution and operating a business without a license. She was released from jail on $5,000 bond.

Employees and customers also were charged as part of a citywide prostitution crackdown that resulted in 75 arrests.

So much for American free enterprise, aye? BC

BC I cried.
