Blog 5 murder interview



            Yesterday around 9 a.m. a robbery occurred at the North Point Inn leaving one man dead.

            Nina Cortez, a bookkeeper at the North Point Inn, arrived to work a little before nine that morning.

She entered the restaurant through the employee entrance in the back which she had a key for. On her way

in she saw a car in the parking lot that she did not recognize. The car did not belong to any of the employees

that worked there, but she didn’t think much of it at the time. Cortez went to her office to begin her day. Not

to long after Kevin Blohm came into her office. They chatted about what had gone on in the restaurant the

night before. Blohm went and made coffee for himself and Cortez. After he returned the two of them walked

down to the corridor. That was the last place Cortez saw Blohm.

           Cortez returned to her office and began counting the receipts and cash from the previous night. She

took everything out of the safe to count. When she was done counting everything, cash, and receipts from

credit cards, there was a total of $6000 dollars. Only a minute or so after she finished counting the money a

man with a knife in his hand walked around the corner.

           Cortez began kicking and screaming knocking herself onto the ground. The man who she described

as 5’’10’ to six feet tall, medium build, and around his 20s grabbed $130 dollars worth in $5 bills and

walked out. Cortez could not describe the man very well. She said that he had on blue jeans, a blue plaid

button-up shirt, blue tennis shoes, and a floral scarf that covered the bottom half of his face. She had never

seen this man before. And although she did not see another man Cortez thinks that the one was not alone.

She heard a voice say, “Get the money out of there.” then someone tried to open her office door. Luckily for

her she had already locked it.

            About five minutes had passed and finally the police arrived. Cortez walked into the hallway with the

police where she found Kevin on the floor in the reception room. There was blood all over the walls and the

floor in the room. Blohm had been stabbed in the chest and hand.

           Cortez does not have an explanation as to why the men would have stabbed Blohm. She thought that

Blohm could have either recognized the robbers or were in their way to getting the money.

                                                          New Cruisers or Not?         A heated debate went on between the sheriff and the county’s commissioners on Thursday over whether or not the Sheriff’s department should receive money for new police cruisers and new deputies. Sheriff Gus Dicesari feels that, unless given the money, the lives of the people of the county will be in jeopardy.
          Commission President, Anne Chen, feels the exact opposite. She claimed that the county had a budget for the year of 1$26 million dollars and that the county already put $30 million dollars into a new prison due to lack of space in the old one. Commission members, Anita Shenuski and Raymond Laybourne,
disagreed with her. Shenuski said,” We never had problems until we began letting migrants come to this county to work. They are a problem to our law enforcement, our schools, and our healthcare system. They take away jobs from decent people and work for next to nothing and if something gets stolen, you can bet that it is one of them that has taken it. We need to protect local residence from them.” Chen denied that immigrants were the problem. She explained how immigrants were hard working people that took the jobs no one else wanted and that by blaming them people were just being hypercritical.
         Over all the county did not have the $580,000 dollars that the sheriff’s department needed. A suggestion was made to help the problem with the old police cruisers. Chen said that instead of taking the cruisers home the deputies should just leave them at the station to keep from adding more miles to the vehicles. After a 5-2 vote the request for the money was denied. Thus the sheriff’s department would have to wait to get new police cruisers and hire new deputies until next year.
