The man charged fiberglass mesh cloth with capital murder in the fatal shooting of a uniformed suburban Houston sheriff's deputy had a lengthy criminal record going back a decade, but never spent more than short stints in jail.
Shannon J. Miles, whose criminal record includes convictions for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct with a firearm, was to be arraigned Monday in the shooting of Darren Goforth, a 10-year veteran of the Harris County Sheriff's Office. Miles' arrest Saturday came less than 24 hours after authorities said he ambushed Goforth at a suburban Houston Chevron station.
Harris County Sheriff Ron Hickman said the attack was "clearly unprovoked," and there is no evidence that Goforth knew Miles. Investigators have no information from Miles that would shed light on his motive, Hickman said.
"Our assumption is that he fiberglass mesh cloth was a target because he wore a uniform," the sheriff said.
Miles' criminal record begins in 2005, when he was convicted of criminal mischief, giving false information to police and resisting arrest, according to records. In 2006, he was convicted of disorderly conduct with a firearm and sentenced to a maximum of 15 days in jail. He was convicted of evading arrest in 2007, and his most recent conviction came in 2009 for again resisting arrest.
Records show that the 30-year-old Houston resident was sentenced to several short stints in jail, anywhere from 10 to 6 days.
Court and jail records did not list an attorney for fiberglass mesh cloth and attempts to reach his family members on Sunday were unsuccessful.
Goforth, 47, was pumping gas at a Chevron station Friday night in Cypress, a middle- to upper-middle-class suburban area of Harris County located northwest of Houston, when the gunman approached him from behind and fired multiple shots, continuing to fire after the deputy had fallen to the ground.
The killing evoked strong emotions in the local law enforcement community, with Hickman linking it to heightened tension over the treatment of African-Americans by police. Goforth was white and Miles is fiberglass mesh cloth.

Watch fiberglass mesh
In two weeks, fiberglass mesh Conrad will make her New York Fashion Week debut, showing her Kohl’s collection on a runway for the first time ever (she showed her own, now defunct, line back in 2009). But if the reality TV star cum designer is feeling the pressure, she sure didn’t sound like it when I hopped on the phone with her earlier this week.
“I think this brand has really developed a very strong sense of self in the past five, six years,” she said, on the impetus for doing a runway show. “We’re in a place where we felt really confident displaying the collection this week.”
The show will take place at 7pm on September 9, sandwiched between the likes of Derek Lam and Alexander Wang, and Conrad is the first to admit her label doesn’t immediately spring to mind when you think runway show. “I think it’s really exciting to take a line and put in an environment it hasn’t traditionally been seen in,” she said. As for if she sees New York Fashion Week fiberglass mesh in a more contemporary (read: wearable) and affordable direction, Conrad said, “Absolutely.”
“In the last decade this industry has changed a lot,” she said. “Fast fashion has become so important—it’s about that high-low mix. Most editors shop at Zara. It’s become more about the piece and how you put together the outfit, rather than the brand.”
And while you may not be getting a paper invite in the mail—don’t feel too left out. The whole show will be livestreamed at lcrunway.com. “We’ve worked really hard on it and I’m excited to be able to show it to as much people as possible,” said Conrad. “It gives everyone an opportunity to be apart of it—to give them a front row seat, so to speak.” And the best part? All of it will be ready to purchase right off the fiberglass mesh.

Paula Deen Joins fiberglass wire mesh
Just call fiberglass wire mesh the comeback queen. Paula Deen will be taking a twirl on the dance floor this fall on the new season of Dancing With the Stars, a source confirms to Us Weekly.
The former Food Network star turned down the offer to tango on TV last year because it was “not the appropriate forum for her,” a source told Us at the time.
Now, however, it appears that she’ll be joining the likes of Bindi Irwin and Nick Carter on the competitive dance floor (Usexclusively broke the news that the former boy bander, 35, will be joining the cast; Irwin, 17, announced her gig this past Monday on Good Morning America).
In 2013, Deen, 68, found herself in hot water after she admitted to using the N-word during a videotaped deposition. The Food fiberglass wire mesh dropped her show, Paula’s Best Dishes, and she lost multiple endorsement deals.
PHOTOS: DWTS' incredible body makeovers
But all was not lost for the controversial celebrity chef. In 2014, Deen announced that she would be starting her own online cooking network.
“Guess who’s going digital, y’all! I’m so excited about my new online network and can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve been working on,” she said in a statement in June 2014. “We’re going to have so much fun being together and cooking up some wonderful new and classic dishes.”
Then, nearly two years after the notorious incident, Deen made headlines once more this past July after posting a photo of her son fiberglass wire mesh.

Back to fiberglass mesh School
Everyone loves to try a fiberglass mesh look when the seasons change and especially when entering a new school year. We learn a lot about beauty when we go backstage at Fashion Week — the insider tips and tricks we gather from makeup artists, hairstylist, manicurists, and models are really what inspire us and the content we create going into the next season.
But then August rolls around and the fall ad campaigns start to fill the glossy pages of our favorite magazines, hitting us with an extra dose of beauty inspiration. Need a new look before you head back to the classroom? Click through for the styles we will be trying out this fiberglass mesh and the products you need to perfect them.
For years jewelry makers have looked for ways to infuse fragrance into their pieces, but aside from perfume solid pendants and kitschy scented necklaces shaped like cupcakes no one has been able to crack the code — until now. David Yurman, the New York City-based jewelry brand known for its cool signet rings, is launching a collection of scented pinky rings — just in time to head back to school.
The brightly colored resin Bubblegum Pinky Rings (which are available in yellow and rose gold settings) are infused with scents like bubblegum, spearmint, cotton candy, and grape — inspired by the nostalgic scents of Yurman’s son Evan’s youth. The collection is available for pre-sale starting today and will hit stores September 1st, giving you just enough time to pick your signature fiberglass mesh.

Trump has fiberglass wire mesh
Republican fiberglass wire mesh candidate Donald Trump engaged in a prolonged confrontation with the anchor of the nation's leading Spanish-language network during a news conference Tuesday, first having the well-known news personality removed before allowing him back in.

Jorge Ramos, the Miami-based anchor for Univision, stood up and began to ask Trump about his immigration proposal, which includes ending automatic citizenship for infants born in the United States to parents in the country fiberglass wire mesh.
As Ramos began to speak, Trump interrupted him, saying he hadn't called on Ramos before repeatedly telling him to "sit down" and then saying, "Go back to Univision."
As one of Trump's security detail approached Ramos, the anchor continued to speak, saying, "You cannot deport 11 million people." Ramos was referring to Trump's proposal to deport all people in the country illegally before allowing some of them to return.
As he was taken from the room, Ramos said, "You cannot build a 1,900-mile wall," another proposal in Trump's plan.
Moments later, Trump justified Ramos' removal, saying: "He just stands up and starts screaming. Maybe he's at fault also."
The billionaire businessman's immigration proposal has sparked intense debate within the 2016 Republican field. Several candidates, including former Gov. Jeb Bush, have called it "unrealistic," and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker bobbled his answer on whether he supports ending birthright citizenship.
Ramos was later allowed back into the news conference. Trump greeted him politely, though they quickly resumed their argument, interrupting each other during an extended back-and-forth.
"Your immigration plan, it is full of empty promises," Ramos began. "You cannot deny citizenship to children born in this country."
"Why do you say that?" Trump replied. "Some of the great legal scholars agree that's not true."
During the five-minute exchange, Ramos claimed that 40 percent of people in the country illegally enter through airports, not over the fiberglass wire mesh border. "I don't believe that. I don't believe it," Trump responded.
A 2006 report by the Pew Hispanic Center found that as much as 45 percent of the people in the U.S. illegally entered with legal visas but overstayed them.
Trump said he did not believe that a majority of immigrants in the U.S. illegally were criminals, or in the country to commit crimes. "Most of them are good people," he said. But he described recent cases where people had been killed by assailants later determined to be in the country illegally.
Finally, Trump reminded Ramos that he was suing Univision, which dropped Trump's Miss Universe pageant after he described immigrants in the U.S. illegally as "criminals" and "rapists."
"Do you know how many Latinos work for me? Do you know how many Hispanics work for me?" Trump said. "Thousands. They love me."
Isaac Lee, chief executive officer of Univision, responded to the confrontation with a written comment: "We'd love for Mr. Trump to sit down for an in-depth interview with Jorge to talk about the specifics of his fiberglass wire mesh."

Obama caught fiberglass mesh cloth
President Barack Obama is the man in the fiberglass mesh cloth, caught between the White House aspirations of two of his closest advisers: Vice President Joe Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

For months, White House officials expected Clinton to be the Democratic nominee in the 2016 election. Some of Obama's top political advisers moved to New York to run her campaign and Obama appeared to give his tacit approval, saying she would be an "excellent president."
But that bet on Clinton suddenly looks less certain. With Biden weighing his own presidential run more seriously amid signs of weakness in Clinton's campaign, the White House faces the prospect of a family feud over who will become heir to Obama's legacy.
"Certainly he's got something at stake here," White House spokesman fiberglass mesh cloth Earnest said Monday of Obama's interest in the 2016 election.
Biden's recent overtures to donors and Democratic officials have led to palpable awkwardness in the West Wing as aides — many with close ties to Clinton, the vice president or both — try to maintain impartiality.
Earnest raised the prospect that Obama could endorse a candidate in the Democratic primary, though others close to the president say it's unlikely he'd publicly put his thumb on the scale if Clinton and Biden were locked in a close contest.

In picking between Biden and Clinton, Obama would be making a choice between two of the most influential members of his administration.
Obama and Clinton long ago turned their political rivalry from the 2008 primary into an alliance. Clinton left the administration in early 2013 after four years as Obama's secretary of state, but she and the president still get together for occasional meetings. They both attended a birthday party in Martha's Vineyard last week for Democratic powerbroker Vernon Jordan, and Obama played golf on the tony Massachusetts island with former President Bill Clinton.
However, some White House officials were irked by revelations that Clinton sidestepped administration guidelines by using a private email account on her own computer server to do State Department business. Privately, some Obama allies also say they're miffed at Clinton's handling of the email controversy, which continues to dog her campaign.
Meanwhile, Obama and Biden appear to have developed a genuine friendship during their six-and-a-half years in the White House. When Biden's son, Beau, died of brain cancer earlier this year, Obama delivered a moving eulogy in which he referred to the vice president as a "brother." In the weeks after the younger Biden's death, Obama made sure the vice president was by his side for high-profile administration announcements.
Earnest said Obama viewed his selection of Biden as a running mate as the smartest decision of his political career.

"I think that should give you some sense of the president's view of Vice President Biden's aptitude for the top job," Earnest said.
On Monday, Obama and Biden met for their weekly lunch in the president's private dining room. Both men spent much of August on family vacations and their lunch marked their first in-person meeting since Biden stepped up his deliberations and outreach about a possible campaign.
People familiar with Biden's thinking say he's yet to make a final decision, but is likely to announce his political future within a month. The vice president is consulting with a close circle of longtime advisers, though there are said to be divisions within that group about whether he should run.
Those close to Obama and Biden insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the vice president's deliberations or the White House's view of the 2016 race.
Of course, what's at stake for Obama in the 2016 election is more than just his personal relationships with Clinton and Biden. Much of his legacy is contingent on a Democratic president maintaining his policies on immigration, health care and climate change, as well as the nuclear agreement with Iran.

Since announcing her candidacy in April, Clinton has largely backed Obama's policies. However, she's distanced herself from his decision to approve offshore oil drilling in the Artic and said she would have voted against his bid to get fast-track authority for an Asia-Pacific trade deal if she were still in the Senate.
Clinton has more latitude than Biden in breaking with Obama policies given that her portfolio in the administration was largely limited to foreign affairs. The vice president, however, has been a central figure in wide-ranging administration policies and has been the point person on everything from the economic stimulus to gun control legislation to Ukraine.
"Biden, as the president's partner, would be closely identified with the Obama legacy," said David Axelrod, a longtime Obama political adviser. However, he added that "any Democrat will carry the benefits and burdens of Obama into this election."
Some Democrats say Biden's strongest campaign strategy would be to cast himself as an economic populist. He met over the weekend with Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a favorite of the Democratic Party's progressive wing whose support would be a major coup for Biden.
Democrats say Biden supporters are also quietly reminding influential operatives and donors that the vice president was ahead of both Obama and Clinton on some issues that are now cornerstones for the party, including gay fiberglass mesh cloth.
