  • Texas Man Claims He Accidentally Shot His Son, Mistaking Him For Intruder, Later Burns The Body

    Texas Man Claims He Accidentally Shot His Son, Mistaking Him For Intruder, Later Burns The Body

    A father has been charged with fatally shooting his adult son with down syndrome at a home in East Texas, an incident that authorities have described as a

    “bizarre crime,”

    per AP News.

    Michael C. Howard, 68, an attorney from Houston, allegedly mistook his 20-year-old son, Mark Randall Howard, for an intruder when he accidentally shot him with a shotgun on Sunday evening. The incident occurred at a residence in Sabine County, located approximately 170 miles northeast of Houston.

    According to the Sabine County Sheriff’s Office, Howard did not report the shooting immediately. Instead, he used a tractor backhoe to transport his son’s body about 2 miles away to a remote area on his expansive 2,500-acre property. There, he placed Mark’s body on a wood trash pile and attempted to cremate it. It was not until Monday afternoon—approximately 17 hours after the shooting—that Howard contacted the sheriff’s office to report the incident. 

    Deputies discovered body parts and bones in the trash pile and sent them to the Jefferson County medical examiner’s office. Michael Howard told investigators that the incident was a

    “horrible accident,”

    claiming he

    “cremated his son in accordance with what he felt his son would have wanted.” 

    Mark Howard, who had Down syndrome, was high-functioning and employed. Two days before the shooting, authorities responded to a theft of a large mower and trailer made by Michael Howard. Deputy J.P. MacDonough did not say if this theft affected Howard’s view of his son as an intruder.

    Howard remains in jail in Sabine County on a $20 million bond, facing charges of murder and tampering with evidence.

  • Couple Stole Nearly $1 Million In Lululemon Merchandise In Nationwide Theft Operation

    Couple Stole Nearly $1 Million In Lululemon Merchandise In Nationwide Theft Operation

    A Connecticut couple is accused of stealing nearly $1 million worth of Lululemon clothing during a two-month theft spree across the country, according to the NY Post

    Jadion Richards, 44, and Akwele Lawes-Richards, 45, were arrested on November 14 for stealing the expensive workout clothing from stores in Minnesota, Utah, Colorado, New York, and Connecticut since September. Their criminal activity came to an end when Lululemon investigators noticed the significant losses and the couple triggered a security alarm while leaving a store in Woodbury, Minnesota.

    Richards claimed store employees were racially profiling him. However, the company’s investigator reported that the couple stole at least 45 items worth $5,000 from various locations the day before their arrest. Officers found several credit and debit cards and a Marriott hotel key, where they discovered 12 suitcases, three filled with Lululemon products valued at around $50,000.

    The investigator estimated the couple stole up to $1 million in merchandise, though the complaint didn’t explain how that figure was reached. Lululemon items typically cost over $50, with sweatshirts priced over $130. The couple allegedly distracted store employees while one hid clothing under their clothes and jackets, the complaint said. 

    The couple, who live in Danbury, is also accused of eight thefts in Colorado in October and seven in Utah earlier this month, according to USA Today. Police have charged them both with organized retail theft. After their arrest, they were taken to Ramsey County Jail in Minnesota, but both managed to post bail.

    Teenager Taken Into Custody For Deliberately Causing Forest Fire In South Jersey, Police Say

    A 14-year-old boy is to blame for at least one of the wildfires that broke out recently in South Jersey, according to officials per Fox News Philadelphia

    The fire began on October 30 and scorched more than 50 acres around Sycamore Drive in Evesham Township, lasting for several days.

  • Mom Arrested For Kicking Her 12-Year-Old Out Of The Car and Forcing Him To Walk Along Busy Highway After Argument About Grades

    Mom Arrested For Kicking Her 12-Year-Old Out Of The Car and Forcing Him To Walk Along Busy Highway After Argument About Grades

    A Wisconsin mother was arrested for kicking her 12-year-old son out of her car and making him walk nearly two miles along a busy highway, per Law & Crime. She has since been released on bail.

    Flor Escalante was charged with felony child abandonment and a misdemeanor charge for child neglect on November 7. Escalante reportedly got into a heated argument with her son about his grades during the drive to his tutoring center.

    Escalante stopped the car on the side of the I-94 highway, told her son to get out, and told him to walk the rest of the way to the tutoring center. According to reports from Milwaukee Fox affiliate WITI, there were multiple calls from drivers who reported

    “a 10- or 12-year-old on the shoulder crying,”

    and

    “He doesn’t know his mom or dad’s name. We’re going to be setting up a post.” 

    When the police arrived at the boy, it was already dark and rush hour traffic was heavy. The temperature had dropped to around 50 degrees, and the boy wasn’t dressed for the cold and didn’t have access to a phone to call anyone for help. He told the officers that he was walking to the Sylvan Learning Center where his mom was waiting for him. The police took him to the center and then arrested Escalante, bringing her to the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department for questioning.

    She told officers that her son

    “didn’t appreciate everything [she] did for him,”

    which is the reason she made him walk

    “so he can understand what labor is,”

    according to the criminal complaint. The complaint also stated that while Escalante was

    “visibly upset about the situation,”

    she

    “did not seem to grasp the recklessness and negligent nature of her actions.”

    She was released on $500 bail.

  • Cook County Corrections Deputy Accused Of Allowing Inmate To Access Her Cell Phone For Pornography and Messaging

    Cook County Corrections Deputy Accused Of Allowing Inmate To Access Her Cell Phone For Pornography and Messaging

    A Cook County Corrections Deputy, Shadonna Jones, 54, faces new charges for allegedly allowing an inmate at Cook County jail to use her phone for messaging and viewing pornography, per WGN9. This comes after she was previously charged with possessing drug-soaked papers.

    The Cook County Sheriff’s Office began investigating Jones after discovering she had dozens of sheets soaked in suspected illegal drugs in July. A search of her home revealed 48 stained sheets, often linked to illegal substances, along with a letter from an inmate discussing the sale of these papers for $10,000 each, with Jones set to receive $2,500 per package.

    Testing confirmed the presence of MDMB-BUTINACA, a synthetic cannabinoid, on the papers. During an interview, Jones claimed she received the papers from an inmate’s family for $1,000 but denied any intention to distribute them.

    The search also revealed two seized phones. Forensic analysis of the Android phone showed it was used by an inmate for accessing pornographic sites and messaging on Facebook. Records from Jones’ iPhone indicated she communicated with the inmate during her shift.

    Jones, hired as a deputy in June 2019, has been on injured status since July 15 after an incident while breaking up a fight between two inmates. She was de-deputized on July 25 after her arrest. Jones was arraigned in court on both the drug-related and new charges.

    A 39-year-old woman from Tennessee has been arrested on multiple felony charges for allegedly kidnapping her two biological children, per Law & Crime. She allegedly brutally attacked her mother, who is the children’s legal guardian, leaving her unconscious in the process.

    Sarah Myers was taken into custody on Thursday and faces charges including one count of child neglect for a child under 8, two counts of custodial interference, and one count of vehicle theft, all classified as felonies, as announced by authorities. Her children, 1-year-old Rico Delk and 3-month-old Elijah Delk, were located unharmed.

    On Wednesday evening, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) and the Metro Nashville Police Department issued an Endangered Child Alert for Rico and Elijah, stating that both children were

    “believed to be with their non-custodial mother, Sarah Myers.”

    Myers was reportedly traveling with the children in a 1997 cream Lincoln Town Car with Tennessee license plates.

    According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by Nashville NBC affiliate WSMV, on Wednesday, Myers drove to her mother Holly Featherman’s home in the Lincoln Town Car. Featherman is reportedly the legal custodian of both grandchildren. After arriving at her mother’s home, Myers allegedly 

    “attacked her until she was rendered unconscious,”

    before fleeing with her children. 

    Several hours later, a man requested a welfare check on Myers, who was reported to be suicidal. When authorities arrived, they found the older child alone in the Lincoln outside. Myers and Elijah were inside a nearby townhome located in the Hermitage, Tennessee area. She is currently being held on a $20,000 bond.
