Rare Simple

Police officials said the 29-year-old father, later identified as Richard, was taken into custody and later charged with multiple charges after he reportedly shook his 15-month-old baby really fast in a baby stroller before dropping the child on the pavement.

The nak-d baby was also crying hysterically and appeared to be dehydrated, police officials said.

During an interview with investigators, the father reportedly said that he dropped his baby on the pavement in order to toughen him up. Richard was later charged with unlawful conduct toward a child, public intoxication and possession of marijuana.

The responding officers were reportedly flagged down by a witness, who wished to remain anonymous.

The witness reportedly told the officers that she saw Richard drop and shake a baby in a stroller. The responding officers said the father was hostile, slurring his speech and having difficulty standing still. Richard reportedly admitted to police that had been drinking and smoking marijuana. A 40-ounce bottle of malt liquor was located under the child’s stroller, the report said.

During an interview with investigators, the father also admitted to dropping the child, telling them that he plays rough with the victim every day and accidentally drops him often in an effort to toughen him up. The child, who was naked and crying hysterically, was covered in dirt and sand and had red marks on his back and a cut on his stomach, the report said. Richard is the custodial parent and responsible for care of the victim, police officials said.

Police officials said the 48-year-old man, later identified as William, and the child’s mother, 43-year-old Brandy, were taken into custody and later charged with five counts each of ra-e of a child. Police officials also said both suspects reportedly committed se* crimes against a little girl under the age of 10 over the course of nearly a year.

According to the statement, Brandy’s 7-year-old daughter was forcibly ra-ed approximately 5 times. Officials said the first assault reportedly occurred during the first week of December 2022. All five of the alleged incidents of se-ual assault reportedly took place inside Brandy’s home.

According to the authorities, the 43-year-old mom reportedly gave William permission to commit the alleged ra-es while she stayed in the room and watched the attacks. Authorities were first notified about possible wrongdoing by a concerned person. Both suspects are being held without bond and are scheduled to appear for a hearing on Wednesday.

A GoFundMe page was created by Donald, who says he is Brandy’s brother and the victim’s uncle. “My (former) sister and her BF were arrested on 9/13/23 and each charged with 5 counts of child ra-e against my 7 year old niece. We have been awarded temporary custody pending their trial outcome and are relocating my niece to live with us. It is our goal to pursue full permanent custody once they have been found guilty and incarcerated, hopefully for life,” the page stated. The uncle also wrote that the funds raised will go towards helping the victim overcome her horrific upbringing and starting a new life that is free from abuse.

During a simple traffic stop, a young woman brandished a gun and opened fire at a police officer, nearly killing him in order to get out of a ticket. However, despite her smirking and denying she did anything wrong, the judge had a response that wiped the smile right off her face.

In the apparent view of 26-year-old Desiree Breshay Smith, she can do no wrong. So, after allegedly attempting to kill a North Carolina police officer for simply pulling her over for a traffic violation, she expected to go free. Unfortunately, the judge wasn’t about to appease her sense of entitlement.

Just after 11 p.m., Fayetteville police officers witnessed Smith’s 2006 Chevrolet Impala speed through a stop sign on the 2000 block of Corrinna Street. As such, the officers engaged their lights and siren in an effort to pull over the driver. However, stopping for a ticket just wasn’t in Smith’s plans.

Instead of stopping, Smith brandished a firearm and opened fire at one of the officers, reportedly in an attempt to murder him. Disturbingly, what would’ve been a simple traffic violation turned into a deadly drive-by shooting, leading police on a terrifying chase.

Eventually, Smith was apprehended while trying to flee the scene. Soon after her arrest, police charged her with felony assault with a deadly weapon on a government official, felony flee to elude arrest, possession of a stolen firearm, careless and reckless driving, and failure to stop at a stop sign, according to The Fayetteville Observer. Fortunately, neither officer was injured.

“As soon as he saw that she was firing shots, he initiated his emergency equipment and she began to flee,” Fayetteville Police Sergeant Jeremy Glass said.

After being held in the Cumberland County Detention Center on a $25,000 bond, Smith went to court for her initial appearance. However, instead of showing remorse for the seriousness of her crimes, Smith smirked and defended her actions, arguing that she shouldn’t be in jail because she’s a good student who’s never been arrested before, Law Enforcement Today reports.

“I’ve never been in trouble before – never ever,” she told the judge. “I’m not guilty of anything they’re saying. I work. I go to school.”

Upon witnessing her remorseless behavior, Judge Stephen Stokes decided to teach her lesson in humility. In response to her arrogant attitude, the judge ordered Smith’s bond to be raised from $25,000 to a whopping $100,000. The suddenly straight-faced and silent woman was then escorted back into police custody.

During a subsequent investigation, authorities discovered empty shell casings in Smith’s car. The spent rounds were confirmed to be from the same stolen gun fired by the suspect at officers. It will be incredibly difficult for Smith to defend herself against the mounting evidence, despite her alleged stellar reputation as a hard-working collegiate.

Regardless of Smith’s willingness to keep a job and study for school, she has proven herself to be a danger to the public and law enforcement officers. It would be safe to say that her ability to show up to class doesn’t outweigh the fact that she tried to kill a police officer just to avoid getting a traffic ticket.

Prosecutors said the 42-year-old defendant, later identified as Mark, was convicted of a double murder. The defendant reportedly killed his 48-year-old girlfriend Eva and his 40-year-old barber Steven after an argument over a bad haircut at his friend’s house.

Mark was also convicted of attempted murder for trying to kill his friend David. Luckily, the homeowner was able to escape being hit by a bullet that tore through a closet door where he hid and called 911 as Mark tried to get in.

According to the court documents, this incident occurred on Dec. 11, 2021. Officers responded to a shooting call. When the officers arrived on scene, they found two victims.

During an interview with investigators, the homeowner reportedly said that Mark told him he was going to get his gun. He then returned to the front door of the home, which was open and shot Steven at least one time in the face.

When Mark’s girlfriend went to her knees to check on Steven, Mark stood over her and said, ‘is that what you want b—-?’ before shooting her at least one time in the head. Mark was no more than two feet away from Steven and Eva when he shot them. Valencia then shot at David as he stood in the kitchen near the laundry room but missed. Then Mark went, allowing enough time for David to get to the master bedroom closet. While hiding in the closet, he called 911.

The homeowner also said Mark returned to the house and tried to open the closet door while David held it closed, and then Mark shot through the closet door, the victim in fear for his life, thinking Mark was going to kill him. When police arrived, they found Mark drunk and bloody in the driver’s seat of David’s van in the driveway. During an interview with investigators, the 42-year-old suspect reportedly said that they all had been drinking that night. He fought with his hairdresser because “he only cut half his hair.” At one point, Mark said he was afraid for his life because of Steven’s size compared to his and got his gun from his car, according to the affidavit. The suspect also stated he intended to shoot Steven, but Eva got in the way.

According to the court documents, the father, later identified as 38-year-old Jose, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility for parole in the killing of his 7-month-old daughter Valeria.

Prosecutors said the father regularly beat the baby so severely that he regularly broke her legs, leaving the child where she could no longer fight and heal from these injuries.

Jose was found guilty on one count of injury to a child resulting in serious bodily injury or death, court records say. According to the court documents, on Dec. 28, 2021, the father pulled up in front of the local county jail and flagged down a pair of maintenance workers. The father then told them that his infant was unconscious, and one of them called 911 to report the problem.

First responders arrived on scene and discovered that the child was limp and cold to the touch. The baby was rushed to the hospital, but, unfortunately, doctors could never get a cardiac rhythm. The baby was pronounced dead shortly after. The medical examiner discovered that the baby suffered bruising throughout her body and had multiple broken bones. The poor infant also had numerous bruises and hemorrhages to her head, face, neck, chin, shoulder, torso, right hand, and left leg.

Forensic Pathologist Dr. Gwin told investigators that the infant’s body simply could no longer fight and heal from these injuries. During an interview with investigators, the baby’s father reportedly attempted to cast blame on the child’s mother, the child’s pediatrician, her nieces and nephews, and even on the baby itself. Doctors later revealed that the baby’s injuries required a greater level of force to be inflicted than any of his stories could explain. Investigators also said that the baby’s injuries began just as the baby’s mother returned to work and left Jose as Valeria’s sole caregiver.
