IN: D.C. Police Honcho Unaware Officers Gave Charlie Sheen Escort, Email Shows
An email shows that a D.C. police commander was unaware that officers provided actor Charlie Sheen with an escort last week.

In the email sent to other department officials, obtained Monday by The Associated Press, Hilton Burton demands details about the escort given to Sheen on the way to his performance at DAR Constitution Hall. Burton is commander of the department's Special Operations Division.

Burton wrote that the Sheen incident is an example of why police should be careful about who is given escorts. He also demands to know how it was approved.

Sheen posted on Twitter last Tuesday night that he had received an escort and included a picture of a speedometer registering about 80 mph. Police Chief Cathy Lanier has said several policies appear to have been violated.

A D.C. police spokeswoman declined to comment.

Premier Cru Fine Wines files for bankruptcy owing $70M

BERKELEYSIDE: High-end Berkeley wine company Premier Cru, run by John Fox, filed for chapter 7 bankruptcy on Jan. 8, claiming it had more than $70 million in debts but only $7 million in assets – most of it wine. Around 1,000 customers who were hoping to get delivery of wine they paid for but never received are probably out of luck.

The city of Berkeley is one of the entities that might get left in the lurch. Bankruptcy court filings show that Fox – doing business as Fox Ortega Enterprises – owes the city $175,000, although the papers do not state why. Fox also owes money to the IRS, the Franchise Tax Board, and California’s Employment Development Department.

But the vast majority of those Premier Cru owes money to are the customers who put their faith in the wine store, which for years enjoyed a good reputation as a place to get fine, often hard to find, wine at a good price. Many customers used Premier Cru to buy wine “futures,” essentially spending their dollars to buy wine that was still aging in barrels in France or Italy.

Last year, 11 customers, many of them wealthy individuals from Asia, filed lawsuits against Premier Cru, John Fox, and his partner Hector Ortega, claiming they had never received wine they had paid for. At the time, John Fox told Berkeleyside that those suing did not fully understand how the system worked.
