Manuel Rosario's locker-room talk may get him locked up.
When police arrested the 21-year-old Cleveland man this month on outstanding traffic warrants, he bragged to officers about a videotape he had that shows him having sex with a "hot" girl.
"Make sure you get my camera," he told officers according to a police report. "I'm on there banging . . . a girl."
The problem is that the girl on the tape looks like a juvenile and Rosario is listed as a habitual sex offender, according to the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department.
Now Rosario sits in jail and is the subject of an investigation by Cleveland's Sex Crimes Unit. Police are looking for the girl, whose age they do not know.
The tape also shows Rosario using dogs to fight each other, according to court records. A case against him on dog-fighting charges is pending in Cleveland Municipal Court. Rosario is in jail on the outstanding warrants.
Without the videotape, Rosario might have gone free. Bratenahl police arrested him Oct. 4 on a routine traffic stop. Police said Rosario was driving too slowly on Interstate 90. Three teenage girls were in his car.
Bratenahl police called Cleveland police that night to pick up the girls because officers could not find their parents. Police also discovered Rosario's outstanding warrants, and Cleveland police picked up Rosario about 2 a.m.
On the way to the 5th District police station, Rosario told officers he got out of jail nine months ago. Rosario had been in jail on various charges, including drug possession and corrupting a minor. Then he told them about the tape.
If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]
