  • Grandfather Arrested After Paying Homeless Lady $20 To Watch 7-Year-Old Granddaughter While He Went To The Bar

    Grandfather Arrested After Paying Homeless Lady $20 To Watch 7-Year-Old Granddaughter While He Went To The Bar

    A 54-year-old grandfather was arrested for child endangerment after giving money to a homeless woman to take his granddaughter, 7, to a thrift store while he went to a bar in the Sacramento-area. He also faces charges of being drunk in public and driving with a suspended license, per The Sacramento Bee. 

    Authorities responded to a call at a bar’s parking lot in the Old Foothill Farms neighborhood. A passerby reported that the grandfather claimed his granddaughter was “kidnapped for human trafficking.”

    When deputies arrived, they discovered the grandfather heavily intoxicated. He admitted to giving $20 to a homeless woman to take his granddaughter to a thrift store while he went to the bar. A nearby security camera recorded the woman taking the 7-year-old girl.

    Additional sheriff’s personnel were summoned to locate the missing girl. The search involved a sheriff’s helicopter, aerial drones, and K-9 units. Approximately 30 minutes later, the homeless woman, upon hearing the helicopter’s announcements, returned with the girl. Deputies verified the woman’s statement that the grandfather had given her money to take the child to the thrift store. She expressed concerns about the grandfather’s ability to take care of the young girl. 

    According to the Sheriff’s Office, the woman took the girl to her camp to provide food. Deputies interviewed the child, who confirmed the woman’s story. Luckily, the granddaughter was discovered to be in good health and was checked by paramedics. It was revealed that the girl’s aunt had custody but had asked the grandfather to look after her while she worked. After consulting with Child Protective Services and the Sheriff’s Child Abuse Bureau, officials allowed the girl to return home with her aunt. Consequently, the grandfather was apprehended for child endangerment.

    Suspected Burglar Enters Florida Jewelry Store and Finds Nothing To Take

    On a Saturday night, around 11 p.m., a man reportedly drove a white pickup truck into the glass door of a jewelry store located in Lake Mary Florida, reports Fox News Orlando. The suspect attempted to steal the jewelry with a sledgehammer and a duffle bag. 

    However, upon surveying the scene, he quickly discovered that there was nothing of value to steal. Within a 10 seconds, he left the store with nothing in his possession. The jewelry was reportedly removed from the shelves and displays by the store staff, as part of their nightly routine.

    “We don’t leave anything outside. Nothing. There’s nothing,”

    store owner Rene Barrios told FOX 35. “You can take a candle if you need to light your way out, but other than that, there’s nothing left of value.”

    The man identified as Lenell Barnes III was apprehended by Orlando police after a chase that followed the incident. He is facing charges including burglary, possession of burglary tools, grand theft of a motor vehicle, and failure to appear in court for driving incidents in Winter Park. 

    Barnes was identified by Lake Mary police after they issued an alert for the truck he used to escape. The owner of the truck was notified, and the jewelry store has reopened. Barnes is currently in custody at Orange County Jail.

    Burglar Rescued After Being Trapped In Grease Vent Hood For Almost 9 Hours

    A man in Cobb County, Georgia found himself stuck inside a vent grease hood after attempting to break into a local Mexican restaurant. According to WSBTV, the man had previously worked at three Mexican restaurants that he targeted.

    When employees arrived to open Los Bravos Mexican Restaurant on Roswell Road in East Cobb, they were surprised to find the man dangling from the vent above the stove. It took nine hours for the police and fire crews to free him from the vent, reports note.

    Surveillance footage captured the moment when first responders rescued Mauricio Serrano-Jimenez from the vent and carried him out of the kitchen. In another video, Serrano-Jimenez is being transported on a stretcher. According to Channel 2 reporter, Michele Newell, Serrano-Jimenez suffered a broken foot and has pressure ulcers on his body. 

    “I see a guy. The guy’s legs are hanging from the hood of the kitchen. I can see from his waist to the bottom. He’s pleading for help and he’s thirsty. He wants water and I’m telling him, ‘Why did you do this?’ On top of the hood, there’s like a little opening, this guy probably thought he was slim enough to come through. He removed a couple of the filters so he could make it through,”

    said Angel.

    Surveillance footage emerged,  allegedly showing Mauricio Serrano-Jimenez breaking into another restaurant through the vent grease hood. The incident occurred before his attempted break-in at Los Bravos. Serrano-Jimenez used a ladder to access the roof and stole hundreds of dollars.

  • Man Arrested In Florida After Mocking Disabled Guest and Getting Into Fight With The Family At Disney World Restaurant

    Man Arrested In Florida After Mocking Disabled Guest and Getting Into Fight With The Family At Disney World Restaurant

    A man from Florida was arrested after reportedly mocking a disabled person at a Disney World restaurant and getting into a fight with her family, reports the NY Post. 

    The incident occurred in January at Belle Vue Lounge inside Disney’s Boardwalk Inn. The man, identified as Brent George, allegedly targeted a girl with Down Syndrome, which led to her mother, Candance Boyette Goldberg, confronting him. 

    George allegedly became aggressive and pushed Goldberg, as well as slapped Maria Ayalde, Goldberg’s daughter-in-law, when she tried to intervene. Ayalde’s husband, Wesley Goldberg, then punched George in self-defense. A bystander stepped in and wrapped George in a bear hug to try and get him out of the restaurant, police said. 

    George told police he had been

    “struck by a glass cup”

    during the altercation, which a witness backed up, according to the complaint. According to police, George had cuts on his face and no broken glass was recovered at the scene. 

    Before the incident, George, his wife, and two friends were drinking at the bar and enjoying themselves with another family. However, George claimed that the family suddenly attacked him. Despite wanting to press charges against the family, George decided not to provide a statement to the police. 

    The family members provided written statements and requested to seek prosecution. As a result, George was arrested for striking the family and charged with four counts of battery. He spent the night in Orange County Jail and was released the next day after his wife, Marla George, paid his $4,000 bond. According to court documents, George has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

  • Tennessee Mother Reports Her Teenage Sons To Authorities After Spotting Them On A Wanted Poster For Allegedly Shooting At A Police Officer, ‘I Don’t Play No Games’

    Tennessee Mother Reports Her Teenage Sons To Authorities After Spotting Them On A Wanted Poster For Allegedly Shooting At A Police Officer, ‘I Don’t Play No Games’

    A Tennessee mother made the tough decision of handing her two sons over to the police after she saw them on a wanted poster for allegedly shooting at a police officer, per the NY Post. 

    “I’m like ‘Are you serious? Aww hell no,’”

    the unidentified mother told WMC, remembering the horrific moment when she witnessed her teenage son’s face on a wanted poster from Holly Springs police.

    “I don’t play no games with them. If you want to do the crime, you gotta do the time. Plain and simple,”

    she said.

    The boys, aged 17 and 18, allegedly attempted to flee the police officer during a traffic stop. After firing two bullets, the suspects ran into the nearby woods on foot. Their faces were captured on a door camera of a nearby residence.

    The day after the incident, the mother reported her teenagers to the authorities. Her boys have maintained their innocence, and she has faith that their names will be cleared once the investigation is complete.

    “My child does not get in trouble. He don’t bother nobody. They don’t do nothing. All they do is play games. Stay home and play games. This is very new. This is very shocking,”

    she said.

    According to a report from WMC, the boys have been charged with committing aggravated assault against a police officer. The police have interviewed a third individual who is considered a person of interest in the case, but they have not been charged yet.
