Toddler Alone, Covered in Feces While Mom Drinks at Bar

Stephanie Davis, 21, of Cummings, Georgia was arrested for DUI about 3 a.m. Friday morning in Roswell, Georgia. She had been at a bar and was speeding 87 mph in a 65 mph zone when Forsyth County Sheriff's deputies pulled her over.

Davis said she had been drinking at a sports bar. Her blood alcohol level was 0.18 which is more than twice the legal driving limit.

She called her mother to say she was in jail. Her mother asked about the baby and Davis said someone was watching her son. Her mom didn't buy her story and contacted Forsyth County Sheriff's office to check on the baby.

Deputies arrived at the home and knocked on the door, but there was no response. They were searching around the outside of the house when they heard a dog barking and a baby crying. Deputies forced their way into the home.

They found the two year-old toddler dressed in only a white t-shirt which was dirty. The toddler had taken his diaper, overloaded with feces, off and threw it on the floor.  His hands, legs and feet were covered in feces.

There was only a mattress and box springs on the floor. The home was "overflowing with trash cans, dirty dishes and rotting food". There were also over 50 bags of garbage. Deputies said the house was filthy and smelled of rotting food, urine and feces.

Deputies found two dogs in the house; one locked inside a cage and the other roaming around loose. Animal Control removed the dogs from the house.

"Deputies on the scene began to clean the feces off of the child and put a clean diaper on him. Because of the disarray of the home, deputies could not tell if the clothes on the floor were clean or dirty. One deputy got clothes and food from his home and gave it to the child, while another went to a local store to get the child something to drink. Deputies said it was clear the child was very hungry." Paxton said."

After the child was removed from the home, deputies noticed bug bites on his legs which they think were from fleas. The child was placed in protective custody with the Department of Family and Children Services.

Davis is charged with DWI, second-degree cruelty to children and she may face charges of reckless conduct. She is in the Fulton County Jail under a $2,500 bond.

The toddler had probably been home alone since Thursday evening.  Deputies said the doors to the home were locked and the child was locked inside his room.

This is such a sad story, but glad the toddler was removed from her custody. Unfortunately, these type stories are becoming a common occurrence.

God bless the children!

Peace

Shoplifter Pepper Sprays Employees In Piggly Wiggly

A 26 year-old Georgia woman was arrested for shoplifting in a Piggly Wiggly grocery store. A customer told store employees at 5:15 p.m. that she saw a woman placing grocery items in a canvas bag in her shopping cart.

Athens-Clarke County Police

Employees tried to stop Lonneshia Shafaye Appling from leaving the store. Appling punched one employee in the face and spit on him and pepper sprayed other employees before she ran out the back of the store.

Apparently, she sprayed pepper spray more than once. There was so much residual pepper spray in the store, firefighters had ventilate the store with fans.

A police officer who was in the area responded quickly, but he choked on pepper spray when he entered the store. He heard a woman screaming outside the rear of the store. He went to investigate and found Appling yelling at two employees who had chased her out of the store. There were Coors Light Beer cans scattered on the ground and the employees said the beer was among the items she attempted to steal.

Appling, who weighs "at least 300 pounds" (she looks a biscuit short of 400 pounds) ignored the officer several times when he asked her to put her hands behind her back to be handcuffed. A back up officer was called to help arrest Appling.

Along with the Coors Lite Beer (well, at least it was lite beer), Appling tried to steal five packs of cheese, vegetable oil, five packs of bacon and two packs of chicken wings.


 


The items she attempted to steal were valued at $88.27, but because she has had more than three shoplifting convictions, she was charged with felony theft by shoplifting.  Appling was also charged with aggravated assault, simple battery, disorderly conduct and obstruction of a law enforcement officer. She probably isn't smiling now.

At the time of her arrest, Appling was wanted for a felony probation violation because of a shoplifting arrest in Madison County in January of this year. The report of that incident, where she took her clothes off in the parking lot, is here. She also had warrants for her arrest  in Oconee and Fulton counties.

This piggly may have been wiggly when officers tried to arrest her, but she won't be able to wiggle herself out of these charges.

Baby Face

Jose Sanders, 22, went into a Kroger grocery store to buy a six pack of beer. The clerk was suspicious of his identification and called over another employee for assistance. The clerks refused to sell Jose a six pack, believing his license was a fake.

Store employees say Jose got angry, began cursing and refused to leave the store. An employee called police and Jose was arrested for disorderly conduct. He was in jail for forty-eight hours.




Jose does have a baby face, and a small stature, due to issues with his pituitary gland. The clerks believed he was underage and were justified in refusing him beer.  However, in many states, it is not difficult to determine if a license is valid. A valid license has watermarks and lazer printing that makes it difficult to duplicate.

It is understandable why Jose is upset...this happens to him all the time.  That day he had enough and he just let loose on the store employees.  It is frustrating and embarrassing for him to experience the same problem over and over again. However, cursing and being stubborn is not the correct way to handle the situation.

Police say he should have just gone to another store, but would that have really made a difference?

Maybe, getting arrested is a blessing in disguise for Jose -- it solves his problem with buying beer.

Now everyone in town knows who he is and that he is of legal age even if he does look like a teenager.

We won't mention that his license shows he is an organ doner and he drinks often.  He said it himself -- happens to him all the time.

Cops Believe Inmate Hid Revolver In His Rectum

Friday, a 22 year-old Georgia resident, Michael Leon Ward, was stopped by North Carolina Troopers for speeding.

Troopers entered his information in the computer and learned he was a fugitive on a murder warrant in Atlanta.  He resisted arrest and police had to use a stun gun to control him.

After a search of his car, Ward was also charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.  So...he's taken to jail, processed and place in a cell.

The next morning he calls jailers to his cell...he says someone is trying to kill him and, in the toilet, is a 10 inch, .38 barrel revolver.

Police say he brought the gun to jail in his rectum...What?!!?

(NOTE:  This video has no audio)




Police say he was stripped searched...why didn't they find the gun during the search?  Police can't answer that question, but say they are investigating.

Ward says someone was trying to kill him...he found the gun in his cell and threw it in the toilet.  But maybe he had to poop and it came out in the toilet and Ward is trying to find a way to explain the gun being in his cell.

Ironically, Ward was taken to the hospital Saturday for injuries that may have come from the revolver that police believe he concealed in his rectum.

If police are right, Ward must have had the gun in his rectum before they stopped him...that could be why he was speeding.

Ward's behavior brings new meaning to the term "concealed weapon".  After close analysis, something about this story just doesn't smell right.

The gun wasn't loaded so bringing the gun in his backdoor didn't kill him.  No, it didn't kill him, but it certainly rectum.

Special Note:

Today, we celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.  One of my favorite quotes by this great man:

“Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Should the Death Penalty be Abolished?

There is a story in the news today, Troy Davis' execution, which brings up an issue I am passionate about…the death penalty.

I don’t know whether Troy is guilty or not guilty, but what I glean from all the information on the internet about the case, there is some doubt and there lies the issue.




If there is any chance that an innocent person may be executed, the death penalty is not the correct sentence. You may say it’s just one or two people who are innocent, but what if the one or two people were members of your family.

The Innocence Project has spared the lives of many people wrongly convicted and sentenced to death row. Below, is a link which shows the number of people on death row who were spared (one died before being exonerated) because of this project.

I am not interested whether or not you think Davis is guilty. I am asking for your comments on the death penalty.

What is your opinion? Should the death penalty be abolished? Why or why not?


Let the debate begin!
