Sampson, a 36-year-old porn star, appears to also be a paid escort, according to a series of Internet advertisements and Michelle Braun, a busted Hollywood madam who told E! Network and the New York Daily News that she hired Sampson to entertain Woods. Braun also provided tax returns that purport to show her travel agency front company paid Sampson more than $24,000 in 2009.

Times Square Shooting: Peddler Sold CDs to Tourists While Carrying Loaded Machine Gun, Say Cops

(AP Photo)
NEW YORK - Raymond Martinez was running a common scam on the throngs of holiday tourists in Times Square, pushing shoppers to buy his CDs, police said.

But Martinez was no ordinary peddler, they said: He was carrying a loaded machine gun and had a handful of business cards from gun dealers in his pockets.

The 25-year-old was shot to death by a plainclothes police sergeant Thursday after trading gunfire in the taxi area of the landmark Marriott Marquis hotel.

Sgt. Christopher Newsom operates a task force that monitors aggressive panhandling and was patrolling with an anti-crime unit when he recognized Martinez and his brother from past run-ins. He asked the two for their tax stamps, which allow peddlers to sell on the streets. But Martinez took off running, through to the hotel's passenger drop-off area.
