    Mother Fled From Deputies and Left 5 Children, Including 2 Infants, In An SUV That She Crashed Into A Ditch During The Chase, Police Say

    Jennifer Delgado, a 32-year-old woman from Texas, is in trouble with the law after police discovered five children, including two babies, left alone in her car. The car was found in a small ditch following a police chase, reports Law & Crime.

    The police chase occurred on August 11 at about 8:45 p.m. when deputies from McLennan County went to check out a report of a domestic disturbance on Martin Drive, as reported by Fox affiliate KWKT.

    A couple was heard arguing loudly, sources say. Witnesses told the police one person involved in the fight crashed their car in front of a house and then drove away.

    According to Texas CBS affiliate KWTX, deputies soon saw the car, which they believed was being driven by Delgado, speeding down Bob Johnson Road in China Spring. 

    An officer turned on the lights and sirens to pull her over, but she didn’t stop. Instead, she sped away down China Spring Road.

    Police had to stop chasing her because they saw several kids in the car through the windows. Shortly after, a deputy found Delgado’s maroon Ford SUV in a small ditch off East Cougar Lane, but she was not inside the vehicle.

    When deputies got closer to the SUV and looked inside, they found three children and two infants. Emergency medical responders checked on all the children. According to an affidavit obtained by the outlet,

    “Three of the children stated their mommy was driving fast.”

    The police got a call about Delgado after the accident, which helped them locate her. A witness reported seeing the 32-year-old woman in her backyard panicking and saying she needed to go back to her SUV. Delgado was arrested and taken to the McLennan County Jail. She faces charges of endangering a child, evading arrest or detention, and fleeing from a police officer.

    “fun,”

    reports Law & Crime

    According to authorities, Marion County Sheriff Corporal Jordan Tripp witnessed a 2002 BMW speeding through a red light at 100 mph late on Sunday evening. Tripp immediately activated his emergency lights and began pursuing the vehicle. The driver, identified as 19-year-old Michael Joseph Gonzalez, eventually lost control of the car and veered off the road. 

    Tripp approached Gonzalez, but he quickly fled the scene, reaching speeds of 90 mph and endangering other motorists. Despite efforts to stop the suspect, Tripp was unable to apprehend him due to the speed. Approximately 30 minutes later, other deputies located Gonzalez as he pulled into a 7-Eleven gas station.

    the affidavit said.

    Gonzalez was apprehended by deputies and charged with fleeing and eluding, showing a reckless disregard for the safety of others and property. He was released from jail after posting a $5,000 bond.

    A tragic incident on a Michigan highway has left six young children orphaned after their parents were killed in a horrifying collision, as reported by the Daily Mail

    Ryan and Jen Ambrosio, both in their forties, lost their lives when a suspect evading police in a stolen truck crashed into their car. The suspect, Angel Melendez-Ortiz, was driving on the wrong side of the road without headlights when he collided with the Ambrosios’ SUV. 

    The devastating crash occurred around 1:30 am on January 6. The couple’s children, aged between two and nine, are now under the care of their extended family. Melendez-Ortiz has been charged with multiple offenses, including second-degree murder, and could face a life sentence if convicted.

    Jen Ambrosio’s cousin, Brandi Burke, initiated a GoFundMe campaign for the children, raising over $614,000 as of Tuesday.

    “In the early morning hours of January 6, 2024, Ryan and Jen Ambrosio were on their way home from a date night when their lives were cut short in a fatal car wreck. The greatest impact of this tragedy is (and will continue to be) on their six young children: Amelia, Maria Grace, Faustina, Benedict, Raphael, and Julian,”

    Burke wrote. 

    “Ranging in age from 2-9 years old, they now have to navigate life’s ups and downs without their parents by their side,”

    she added. Burke assured that the children would be kept together under the care of a relative.

    “The Ambrosio children, while now without their parents, have always had the presence and support of a large extended family that will ensure they are raised together in a safe and loving home.”

  • Bond Granted For Teenager Who Allegedly Beat And Strangled His Mom To Death, Put Her Body In Trunk, And Led Police on High-Speed Chase

    Bond Granted For Teenager Who Allegedly Beat And Strangled His Mom To Death, Put Her Body In Trunk, And Led Police on High-Speed Chase

    On Thursday, February 2nd, a Houston judge set a bond for a teenager that was arrested for strangling and beating his mother to death, and then traveling across the country with her corpse in her stolen car’s trunk, Law And Crime reported.

    In October of 2022, 17-year-old Tyler Roenz and 49-year-old Michelle Roenz were reported as missing after Tyler’s father discovered five teeth and a trail of blood leading to the master bedroom of his home. When he notified Houston police of his findings, he also reported that his wife’s 2011 Mazda 3 was missing.

    Soon after their disappearance, the missing Mazda was spotted in Nebraska. 15 minutes later, state troopers attempted to pull the vehicle over, which led to a high-speed pursuit. The Mazda traveled for nine miles at nearly 110 miles per hours before crashing into a tree. Tyler Roenz was transported to a nearby hospital in critical condition, and his mother was discovered in the vehicle’s trunk.

    Michelle Roenz’ cause of death was determined to be strangulation and blunt force trauma, but the reason for the attack remains unknown. The Harris County judge has set the defendant’s bond on the murder charge at $1,050,000.

    “The judge has made it clear that he’s not to have contact with his father or go near his father’s residence,” Harris County Assistant District Attorney Lisa Calligan explained. “If he gets out, has to be on 24-hour house arrest with an ankle monitor.”
