    A Tennessee man is now in police custody after pulling his friend out of her wheelchair and stealing money from her purse, Action News 5 reports.

    On April 13th, deputies from the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office were notified about a robbery at a Millington Inn. When they arrived, the victim explained that Dylan Landrum, a friend of hers, had come to her motel room to ask for money.

He then began rummaging through her purse, grabbed $30 in cash along with her I.D., and fled. The victim, who uses a wheelchair due to having one leg, was left on the floor.

  • Boston Marathon Runner Caught Pooping In Strangers Yard By Doorbell Camera

    Boston Marathon Runner Caught Pooping In Strangers Yard By Doorbell Camera

    Footage from a doorbell camera has gone viral after a homeowner caught a Boston Marathon runner defecating on their lawn, The New York Post reports.

    On Monday, a Reddit user posted the video, titling it “One of the marathon runners just took a s*** in my yard (video inside).” In a thread below the video, the owner of the house explains that there were plenty of portable toilets located throughout the course for runners to use, and that there was “absolutely zero reason for someone to trespass to take a s*** on a lawn.”

    The footage shows a marathon participant dropping their shorts in order to relieve themselves. Around eight seconds into the video, a spectator walks down the home’s front pathway, and stops after locking eyes with the runner. After finishing, the lawn-pooper pulls their shorts back up and runs in between two trees before re-entering the marathon course.

    In the comments of the now deleted footage, many expressed their opinions, some enraged by the competitor, and some coming to their defense:

    “People are weird as h*** man,”
    one person wrote. “I would be livid if someone took a s*** on my property, running a marathon or not.”

    “I’m sure the runner was really embarrassed to have to do that,” another commenter stated. “I wouldn’t call her out on it any further.”

    “She was taken tragically and suddenly from us, before she was destined to fulfill a rich and meaningful career dedicated to serving her future patients,” the fundraiser reads. “For those that knew her intimately, we will always remember her wonderful sense of humor, strength of spirit, leadership, and charming smile.”

    “The video is incredibly difficult to watch,” they said in a statement. “Riding a bus to and from school should be a happy, enjoyable experience for students. The behavior and actions of this bus driver are completely unacceptable.”

  • Florida Man Accepts Plea Deal After Infant Dies From Being Forcefully Thrown Against Wall Multiple Times

    Florida Man Accepts Plea Deal After Infant Dies From Being Forcefully Thrown Against Wall Multiple Times


    A Florida man has been sentenced to more than two decades in prison after brutally killing his 2-month-old daughter in 2020, Law And Crime reports.

    On December 11th, 2020, infant Scarlet Strahm was taken to an emergency room after her mother saw she was having a seizure. After tests proved that the child was suffering from an internal brain bleed, the child’s father, Steven Michael Strahm, told police that he had accidentally dropped her. Scarlet’s mother had been at work during the time the incident occurred.

    The University of Florida Child Protection Team later determined that Scarlet had sustained both “abusive head trauma indicative of physical abuse” and a fractured knee indicative of physical abuse and medical neglect. While being questioned by authorities, Strahm confessed to forcefully throwing the 2-month-old against a wall “4 or 5 times” and intentionally dropping her on her head. Sadly, Scarlet never recovered, and she died two weeks later.

    Last month, Strahm pleaded guilty to one count each of second-degree murder and aggravated child abuse as part of a plea deal. In exchange for pleading guilty, prosecutors dropped a child neglect charge. He has since been sentenced to spend 23.5 years in a state correctional facility.

    “You broke me. You took the best part of me away and you broke me,” the child’s mother said in a statement. “I never got to hear her giggle. I never got to watch her crawl or hear her first words or watch her take her first steps. She should be two and a half and probably be the most amazing person now but I’ll never know.”
