The commotion was heard by Ronisha Johnson who was also present during Williams’ trial. According to the woman, when she went to the man’s apartment, Williams was pulling the knife from Burger’s chest. The perpetrator also smelled the knife before discarding it.

Seeing his neighbor at the door, Williams asked Ronisha to help him get rid of the teen’s body. Agreeing to help him, the two individuals took the body and placed it inside a portable playpen After that, Williams and Johnson carried the playpen outside and threw it in a dumpster.

Allegedly, after killing Gina and placing her body in the playpen, Williams called Gina’s mother and attempted to sell the playpen to her. Gina’s body was discovered the following day by the garbage transfer workers.

The Austintown murderer was apprehended several days later and charged with aggravated murder, kidnapping, and tampering with evidence.

Coffee County authorities have recently arrested a prolific drug dealer after a routine traffic stop. When confronted, the drug dealer, a 33-year-old woman, feigned amnesia and gave the officers a false date of birth.

Meth Dealer Told Investigators that She Has Amnesia

According to the Douglas-Coffee County authorities, on Tuesday, traffic monitored agents stopped a vehicle whose driver committed a minor traffic offense. While at Walderon Road and Ramblewood Road, the driver, later identified as 33-year-old Angie McCoy refused to stop at the stop sign.

When approached, the woman began acting erratically and told the officers that she’s suffering from amnesia. Moreover, to continue her masquerade, the woman supplied the officers with false personal data and declared that she did not know where she was or why was she arrested.

After running the car license plates, the authorities discovered that the amnesic driver was actually a sentenced meth dealer who was on probation. Without requesting permission from her probation officer, McCoy left her home and did not disclose her destination.

The officers who took the woman into custody drove her home, just near Trotter Road. Upon arriving at the destination, the law enforcement officers asked the woman if that is her residence. McCoy denied living there and continued claiming that she has amnesia.

However, upon investigating the police car which transported the women home, the officers discovered McCoy’s key to the apartment lying on the floor. Upon entering the house, the officers discovered an unspecified amount of methamphetamine and various tools used to produce the drugs.

Since the meth dealer violated the terms of her imprisonment, she was booked into the Coffee County Jail where she will remain for the duration of the trial. The meth dealer now faces new charges which include giving misleading into to authorities, possession of meth, and violating probation.

A Baxley couple has recently been arrested and put on trial for the assault of a woman and her daughter inside the family-owned Qwik Chik restaurant.  The couple was found guilty of aggravated battery and cruelty to children.

Qwik Chik Argument Takes a Turn for the Worse

According to the court documents, in mid-June 2017, 28-year-old Latasha Denise Smith and 45-year-old Nathaniel Smith entered the family-owned Qwik Chik restaurant with the intent of having a meal.

Shortly after the waitress served their food, the Baxley couple began arguing over the food. Latasha Smith, apparently enraged by her food going cold, called on the diner’s owner, Jeanette Morris. Latasha told Jeannette that the waitress served them cold food, but the woman denied Smith’s allegation.

In the heat of the argument between the two women, Latasha rose from the table and punched the restaurant’s owner in the face. Subsequently, Nathaniel Smith, the woman’s husband, went towards Jeanette’s 15-year-old daughter and hit her in the face.

According to eyewitness accounts, the man punched the girl so hard that it slammed her against the diner’s wall. Jeannette called the authorities who arrested the Baxley couple. Both of them were charged with aggravated battery and cruelty to children.

During the recent trial, the Baxley couple was found guilty of both charges and were both sentenced to prison. For assaulting the Qwik Chik restaurant’s owner, Latasha Denise was sentenced to two years in prison with a 7-year probation period.

Subsequently, Nathaniel Smith, her husband, was sentenced to 8 years in prison with a 7-year probation period. Both victims were present during the Baxley couple’s trial.

After the incident which took place at the diner, both victims required medical assistance. The Baxley couple is also required to pay the victims $4,000.

Central Fresno law enforcement authorities are currently on the lookout for an individual who was caught on tape while throwing stones at a small dog that was following him. According to the local Animal Control spokesperson, the abused canine was discovered dead later that day. The man’s sordid performance was caught on tape by two schoolgirls passing by.

Fresno Resident Stones Small Canine Following Him

It’s only natural that people be partial to a certain kind of pet, but it’s entirely another thing to act violently when the pet you don’t like approaches you. Last week, in Central Fresno, a man could be seen abusing a small dog who seems bent on following along the street.

According to the town’s Police Department, the man’s cruel behavior was filmed and posted online by two schoolgirls who were passing by at that time. The first time the man was approached by the friendly canine he bent over to pick up something which looked like a rock.

Seconds later, the tape shows the man throwing the stone towards the dog, hitting him in the process. The dog stops and looks at the individual as he walks away. After a couple of more seconds, the dog resumes his tail. The individual sees the dog and hurls another stone at him.

According to Lisa Logue, a local Animal activist, the dog was later discovered dead in a ditch probably hit by a passing vehicle. Mark Hudson, a lieutenant in the Fresno Police Department, declared that a grievance was filed and that a squad was sent for investigation at the Evergreen Apartments.

 

No details have been disclosed regarding the man’s identity, only what can be observed in the short clip. Logue believes that after being hit by the second stone, the dog became confused and more than likely  wandered off in the street where he got hit by a car.
