Pontiac couple charged in guard's dragging death:

Reason to Blow Up the World...

A Pontiac couple is facing life in prison after police say they tried to steal $500 worth of CDs to sell for drug money and — in the process — dragged a Kmart security guard to his death.

Samantha Lomasney, 20, and James Woodworth, 39, were charged with first-degree murder and unarmed robbery this afternoon before 51st District Judge Richard Kuhn Jr. Both are being held without bond and will be back in court Wednesday.

According to police, Lomasney was waiting in front of the Kmart Thursday afternoon while Woodworth went inside. Woodworth came out of the store and security guard Greg Paul Wainio, 36, of Gaines tried to stop him by hanging on to the side of the 1994 GMC Jimmy Lomasney was driving. There was as struggle between Wainio and Woodworth as Lomasney drove away. Police said Woodworth was yelling at her to drive away.

Wainio, who was dragged several hundred feet, was crushed when Lomasney hit two concrete pillars, police say.

Witnesses followed the Jimmy to an address in Pontiac, where police arrested the duo.

According to police, Lomasney is a high school dropout who lost custody of her 15-month-old son, who is being raised by her mother. She battles an addiction to heroin and painkillers.

Woodworth, police say, has a criminal history dating to 1992 with convictions for burglary, assault and indecent exposure.

But I thought drugs were a victimless crime. Or so some people try to tell me. And before you even say it no it wouldn't be any less of a crime if they stole the Cds for booze. I don't drink so it wouldn't be any sweat of my nose if they outlawed that too.

Anyway, one point for the theft, another point that they were stealing it for drugs, one more point for taking off while the security guard was hanging on to the truck, another two points for the number of concrete pillars that he was crushed on, another point for the murder, another point for fleeing the scene, another point for being a high school drop out loser (stay in school kids) and one last point for having a drug addiction. Remember kids it's not a sickness it's a weakness. That's 9.
