'Housewives' kid Josh gets a helping hand:

I tried, his mom, Lauri Waring tried, Derek the Vending Machine Guy tried, and many others have tried as well – and so far none of us successfully. Now comes attorney Jeffrey Stivers, who has decided to go above and beyond the call of normal legal duties to help troubled "Real Housewives" spawn Josh Waring. Last week, after I reported that Josh had gotten eight months in jail in a possession-for-sale case, I got a call from Stivers' secretary wanting to know why I hadn't mentioned her boss. "We wanted his name printed in the article … for some P.R. and recognition for his hard work on the case." Hmm, I thought. Josh got convicted of all nine counts. What exactly did his attorney do for him? But, I admire nothing so much as the cheekiness of such a request, so I gave Stivers a call. read entire article

Man pleads guilty to threatening prostitute with fake gun: By DEEPA BHARATH

Roberto Velazquez was arrested in Fountain Valley Tuesday after a prostitute flagged down a police patrol car saying that he had threatened her. Velazquez pleaded guilty to one count of felony false imprisonment and one count of misdemeanor brandishing a weapon, said his attorney Jeffrey Stivers. However, the district attorney dropped one felony count of assault with a deadly weapon, which would have been a strike, Stivers said. Velazquez's felony false imprisonment charge could be reduced to a misdemeanor if he successfully completes three years of probation and a 90-day jail sentence. The prostitute told police Velazquez had asked her for oral sex and drove off with her. But instead of paying her before hand, Velazquez reportedly pulled out a pellet gun and demanded oral sex from her. Police said the prostitute was able to escape. read entire article
