Raymond Clark III has gone from "Person of Interest" to accused perp. The Yale lab tech was arrested this morning and charged with killing Annie Le. At least all the scrutiny wasn't misdirected. The latest news makes him sound worse.

Ali Wise won't go down as the only member of the social set to spend time in handcuffs this month. Jules Kirby, the "champagne-swilling" party girl and perennial favorite on blogs like Park Avenue Peerage and Guest of a Guest—and ex-girlfriend of Nevan Donahue, Olivia Palermo's layabout cousin from The City—was arrested in Southampton over July 4th weekend. For attempting to steal an American flag. By the way, did we mention it was July 4th weekend?

• Several ladies from the Real Housewives of New York are demanding more cash before signing up for another season of the show. In addition to "six-figure deals," they're asking for clothing, hair and makeup allowances and "a promised amount of screen time." You're shocked by this, we're sure. [NYDN]
• In other Housewives news, it looks like LuAnn de Lesseps may be reuniting with her estranged husband, and Bethenny Frankel is engaged. [P6, Us]

Trouble just keeps piling up for scandal-plagued art dealer Larry Salander. In 2007, his Salander-O'Reilly gallery on the Upper East Side was shuttered amid charges he'd bilked clients out of millions. This past June, after filing for bankruptcy protection, most of his assets were sold off. And now? He's behind bars. Salander was taken into custody at his Millbrook home this morning and has been charged with 100 counts of grand larceny, forgery, falsifying business records, perjury, and other assorted crimes. On the bright side, at least Bernie Madoff will have a really knowledgeable person to consult when he decides to decorate his jail cell.

Boston police arrested graffiti artist Shepard Fairey on his way into an event at the Institute for Contemporary Art, which is hosting an exhibit of his works, including his iconic Barack Obama "Hope" poster.

Bernie Madoff isn't just taking a psychological toll on members of his family and the people he's accused of defrauding. Judge James Peck, who is overseeing the liquidation of Madoff's firm as well as handling the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers, was arrested and charged with third-degree attempted assault and second-degree harassment after allegedly slapping his wife at their Park Avenue apartment on Saturday evening. Peck was released without bail, although he'll be returning to court to face (another) judge on March 16th. [NYP]

You'd think that for an 18-year-old with unlimited financial resources, a foolproof fake ID would be a must. Apparently not. Robby Cohen, the son of airport concession mogul Robert Cohen and the nephew of the late Claudia Cohen (which also makes him the former nephew of billionaire Ron Perelman) headed down to Florida for Thanksgiving weekend where he was busted in Palm Beach on Sunday after the police caught him ordering a rum and coke at the restaurant Nick & Johnny.

Perhaps bereft that her former lover David Spade has found fatherhood in the fulsome embrace of a Playboy Bunny, actress Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday afternoon in Santa Barbara on suspicion of DUI. Booked in a local jail and released hours later, the Melrose Place alum was also fingered for being under the influence of a controlled substance (Janet Charlton is claiming that the actress is in the grips of a 20-year Vicodin addiction). While we're certainly concerned about Locklear's health, we have to admit we're most curious about the dastardly pair of eyewear that apparently set the entire incident into motion:

Comedian and nuisance to many Andy Dick has been arrested on charges of drug use and sexual battery in the small SoCal town of Murrieta. After being nabbed by police for exposing and groping a 17-year-old girl's breasts at about 2am this, he was found to be in possession of a small amount of marijuana and a single unprescribed Valium. He's being held on $5,000 bail. You may recall that the NewsRadio star was caught doing blow at a New York City nightclub just last year. The most terrifically depressing detail of this latest arrest (aside from the mugshot, above) is that it all went down outside of a fine dining establishment called Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar. Oh Andy. You're clipped. Click thru for a larger version of the mugshot. [via Smoking Gun]

Here's where we play Goofus & Gallant, European nations edition. Gallant Denmark stood up in favor of the rights of publishers when those stupid, mediocre cartoons about the prophet Muhammed caused worldwide outrage and riots a couple years back. Goofus Netherlands, on the other hand, recently threw a cartoonist in jail for drawing cartoons that might be offensive to Muslims. By all accounts the cartoonist, "Gregorius Nekschot," is offensive to Muslims. That makes his arrest no less phenomenally stupid.

Making good girl Anne Hathaway look bad is no easy feat, but her longtime boyfriend has managed to pull it off by allegedly committing check fraud. Raffaelo Follieri, Hathaway's 29-year old Italian real estate developer boyfriend, was apparently ordered by a D.C. court to pay up $250k in overdue payments to a PR firm, but the check bounced and the NYPD has placed him in custody. Worse yet, sources tell TMZ that when "the bank said insufficient funds, it wasn't even close." Considering we're still worried about paying next month's rent, we'd never deem having less than a quarter mill in the bank embarrassing, but taking Follieri's fancy name and job tile into account, we're thinking it's time Anne found some new arm candy. Especially since this isn't the guy's first run-in with the law...

We'd like to have a word with Naomi Campbell's anger management instructor, because apparently those classes she was forced to take after that infamous cell phone toss last year didn't do much good at all. According to People, Campbell was arrested earlier today for assaulting a police officer at London's Heathrow Airport, and while it's cute that they reference the fact that "travelers' frustrations have flared due to baggage delays" since the new Terminal 5 was constructed, we can't help but feel as though Campbell is officially out of excuses for attacking the innocent. Though throwing her cell phone at an assistant last year was certainly a step down on the crazy level from her 2000 incident attacking a PA on set, moving up to police assault moves Campbell out of the sanitation club with fellow alumnus Boy George, and into handcuffs territory. But what happened to the sweet, good-natured Naomi we witnessed on Bravo's guilty pleasure Make Me A Supermodel a few episodes ago?

Sheriff Santiago Barrera Jr. of Duval County, Texas would like you reporters to shut the fuck up, or else he will throw you in jail. It's really just that simple. After the Alice Echo-News Journal ("A Pulitzer-Prize winning newspaper serving Jim Wells County and the area for over 100 years") wrote a front page story about the sheriff's son getting arrested for public intoxication, Barrera told a reporter, "If you guys keep interfering with my business, I'm going to have you arrested." Old school! Unfortunately, what with all the electronic communications and so forth these days, word spread quickly around the nation, and now the sheriff just looks like a crooked old bastard, which he surely is. But it does make you pine for the days when the lawmen were dirty, the reporters were in cahoots, and small towns were dusty fiefdoms ruled by power-mad, ignorant scumbags. Not really. [AP]

We thought going from number-one on Charlie Sheen's speed dial to laundromat owner was bad, but Heidi Fleiss redefined the word by getting herself arrested in Nevada today. Never one to shy away from excess, the former madam had not one but two controlled substances in her possession when the cops pulled her over. But far more disturbing than the arrest is the current state of Heidi's face, on full display in her booking photo. We'd noticed she'd slipped well into the Awful Plastic Surgery archives a few years ago, but we hope the officers send her to a surgery addiction shrink instead of jail; there's enough lip on Fleiss to award at least three other inmates with brand new collagen treatments. [TMZ]

"Dozens of alleged members of the Lucchese Crime Family were arrested Tuesday morning in raids in New Jersey and New York that authorities say broke up a major sports betting ring." A little drug trafficking here, a little weapons-smuggling there. Aww, guys, did no one tell you that David Chase brought you to an ambiguously anticlimactic end like, a year ago? It's so hard to be the last to know. [ABC]

The co-founders of New Times, now known as Village Voice Media*, were arrested last night ("led away in handcuffs," according to their press release), at their homes in Phoenix, AZ, on misdemeanor charges related to revealing details of a grand jury investigation. Mike Lacey, the company's executive editor, and Jim Larkin, VVM's CEO, revealed in a story published yesterday in the Phoenix New-Times, that the paper is the target of a grand jury investigation stemming from a long-running feud with mercenary county sheriff Joe Arpaio. A few hours later, they were in the pokey themselves.

Fabian Basabe, that dude who first attracted our attention by being on a rich-people reality show, marrying a lady even though he is obvs gay, suing Bungalow 8 for not letting him in, and calling a doorman a Negro, has gone and done something stupid. (Please take a moment to take a few deep, calming breaths if you need them.) Apparently Mr. Basabe ran a red light at CPW and 65th — which, hey, who hasn't run a few red lights? Like Fab (we're going to call him that now)'s lawyer Mark Heller says, "Sometimes [the light] changes while you're in midstream." However, running a red light drunk in a Hummer without (probably) a license is kind of asking for it. Of course, Heller blames the "bumbling" cops who tested Fab's sobriety with "antiquated and faulty equipment." We hope that Fab didn't encounter any more of that pesky stuff during the time he spent in jail!
