Crime Blotter: New Twist in Nickolay Petrov Arrest
June 19, 2008 |
[Edits 10:12am.] Crime Blotter: We have an update in the case of Edmon Vardanyan, a/k/a/ Nickolay Petrov, who was arrested earlier this year and faces a variety of charges including “traveling in interstate commerce to kill, injure or harass another person.” Mr. Vardanyan told detectives he had accepted money to threaten, attack and eventually kill Grigori and Galina Komissarchuk ‚Äî aged 70 and 65 ‚Äî for failure to repay a debt. According to a newspaper account, the couple’s son-in-law, Alex Shevgert, has been arrested and charged with “aiding and abetting another to travel across state lines with intent to kill, injure or harass another person.” He is being held without bail; two additional men, Larik Cholak and Sergey Zub, have also been charged in the case. Mr. Shevgert is alleged to have told Mr. Cholak that his in-laws “owed him money from a business they had together and he wanted to send them a message that they needed to pay.” Mr. Cholak allegedly agreed to find someone to send that message. However, the Komissarchuks have never been in business with their son-in-law and, in fact, had provided financial support that included $100,000 as a down payment for a house to spur Mr. Shevgert and his wife to move out of their own home. Mr. Shevgert apparently nursed a grudge “and so he hired people to attack” his wife’s parents. However, newspaper accounts do not specify that Mr. Vardanyan is among those hired. Click here and here for background. Incidentally, several weeks after his arrest, Nickolay Petrov won a GAYVN Award for Best Threesome√¢‚Ǩ‚Äùshared with Jesse Santana and Jason White√¢‚Ǩ‚Äùfor Jet Set’s JUST ADD WATER.

Some gratitude! And if he needed financial support, where did he get the money to hire a hii man?
My God. It sounds like a Coen Brothers movie.

Hate to sound racist, but this always happens with people from the Caucasis or the Slavs. Look at their names; their countries live on this kind of “business” and “financial transactions”.
What do you expect from an Armenian
Any new twists in this case?
And to that last comment, bite me. I know tons of Armenian folks who are perfectly normal people.
