Glendale PD

Antoin Thurman

Glendale resident Antoin Thurman -- a man who once made an educational video describing his prostitute-management skills (more on that later) -- was booked into jail Friday night after surviving gunshots from as many as four police officers.

Thurman, 26, was allegedly in a domestic-violence situation with a woman on April 1, and took off running before police arrived.

Police spotted Thurman running near 47th Avenue and Bethany Home Road, and ran after him -- until police say Thurman turned around and pointed a gun at them.

Four Glendale police officers responded to that gesture by shooting at Thurman, and at least one of those bullets landed him in critical condition at the hospital.

Thurman was cleared by the hospital late Friday, and was taken straight to jail.

Larry Lee Thompson

​Larry Lee Thompson, a transient ex-con with a long history of domestic violence, felt that his 48-year-old girlfriend got a little lippy with him last night as the two were hanging out on the streets of Phoenix. So he stabbed her 16 times.

It should be noted that last night was the second time Thompson stabbed the victim in the last 30 days -- she apparently "disrespected" him last month, too.

According to court records obtained by New Times, police were called to the 700 block of West Madison Street about 11 p.m. yesterday after someone called 9-1-1 to report a stabbing.

When police arrived, they found Thompson's girlfriend -- who is also homeless -- bleeding on the sidewalk.
