A Lake Mary bartender broke into her ex-fiance's Deltona home and attacked the new girlfriend she found in bed with him, Volusia deputies said.

Kelly Custis, 27, a bartender at Fourth Street Bar and Grille in Lake Mary, was arrested and charged with burglary with assault or battery, an arrest report shows.

Deputies were called to the Deltona home at 5:30 a.m. Monday to reports of a physical disturbance. At the home, deputies found Shelley Graham, 28, an employee of Shotz Sports Bar in DeBary, with scratches all over her chest, arm and face. Clumps of Graham's hair were on the bedroom floor, deputies said.

The ex-fiance, David Lewis, 31, an employee of the Seminole County Fire Department, told deputies he was lying in bed with his new girlfriend, Graham, when the lights in the bedroom suddenly came on. He saw Custis standing in the doorway and she began to attack Graham as they lay in bed, deputies wrote in the report.  More

Wisconsin father pleads not guilty in death of infant son

POLK COUNTY, WIS.

Man pleads not guilty in son's death

A Wisconsin man convicted of causing severe injuries to his infant son has pleaded not guilty to a first-degree reckless homicide charge that was filed after the boy died.

Kenneth W. Larson, 30, entered the plea Monday, Jan. 28, in Polk County Circuit Court. He was being held in the Polk County Jail, officials said Tuesday.

Larson was released in October from Oshkosh Correctional Institution in Oshkosh, Wis., having been sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to child abuse recklessly causing great bodily harm in the death of his son.

The boy was 1 month old when his mother took him to a hospital emergency room in September 2007 with injuries that included a severe brain injury, according to the criminal complaint.

In an interview with police, Larson said his son had rolled off a bed in Balsam Lake, Wis., striking his head and cheek, and claimed that he did not harm the boy, the complaint states.

The child died in November 2011, the result of complications from the brain injury, and a medical examiner determined the death could be classified as a homicide.

Larson's cash bond is set at $25,000.

The next court hearing in the case is a pre-trial conference scheduled for March 1.

If convicted, Larson faces a sentence of up to 60 years.

Father sentenced for child abuse

OTTAWA COUNTY, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - An Ottawa County man was in court Monday to receive his sentence for critically injuring his infant son.

Last month a jury found Justin McIntyre guilty of second-degree child abuse.

Police say McIntyre violently shook his six-week-old son Bentley back in August, causing critical head injuries.

Bentley spent several weeks in the hospital before going home to continue his recovery.

Monday McIntyre received 19 months to 120 months in prison, with credit for 157 days served. Restitution will be determined at a later date.

Contrary to fathers rights propaganda, mothers are held to a much higher standard than fathers. Notice that Mom may lose her parental rights, even though DHS doesn't believe she was involved in the assault on this infant. Fathers are very seldom held accountable in those cases where the mother was the sole abuser.

Father Faces Child Abuse Charges

By Ray Kisonas
Tuesday, January 29, 2013, 01:29 p.m.

A teen-aged father accused of shaking his infant son, causing life-threatening injuries, was arrested at the hospital where the baby reportedly is being treated, authorities said.

The Monroe County Prosecutor’s Office issued a warrant charging Tyler Lee Stoner, 18, of Frenchtown Villa Mobile Home Park in Newport with first degree child abuse, a felony that has a maximum penalty of life in prison upon conviction.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office reported that Mr. Stoner was arrested in Ohio at the hospital where his 6-week-old son remains listed in critical condition with severe head injuries.

Mr. Stoner is being held in the Lucas County jail and will be brought here once he legally can be transferred to Michigan.

Sheriff’s detectives reported that on Jan. 19, Mr. Stoner was caring for the child while the baby’s mother slept.

The parents, who are not married, took the infant to Mercy Memorial Hospital when he became unresponsive. He eventually was transferred to a Toledo hospital.

In addition to severe head injuries, the baby suffered broken ribs, authorities reported.

Since the incident, probate court officials ruled that the father was not allowed to have contact with the infant.

The hospital where he was arrested also had banned him from visiting the child.

The Michigan Department of Human Services is seeking to terminate the parental rights of both parents, even though the mother was not believed to be involved with the assault.

She is allowed supervised visits with her son.

Jacksonville man held on abuse charges after child injured

Posted: January 28, 2013 - 12:40pm | Updated: January 28, 2013 - 5:20pm

By Dan Scanlan

A 28-year-old Westside Jacksonville man was arrested Friday on two charges of aggravated child abuse after a little girl was hospitalized with a rib fracture, internal injuries and bruises on her stomach and back, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.

Tommy Deangelo Butler remains behind bars in the Duval County jail on $100,000 bail, jail records show. A second person also was arrested, but the name was redacted on the arrest report.

A state Department of Children and Families investigator summoned officers to Wolfson Children’s Hospital about 9 p.m. Friday as the child was being operated on for the injuries, police said.

Officers spoke with the girl’s mother, who said the child had begun throwing up and feeling sick after being cared for by her father and someone else earlier in the week. Investigators questioned Butler and the other person after speaking with other people who care for the child, then arrested them, police said.

California - A homeless hitchhiker in West Fresno, Calif., may have saved two people’s lives Friday after they were attacked by a giant, epithet-spewing racist who claimed to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.

The bizarre series of events unfolded around 2 p.m. on Friday after 54-year-old Jett Simmons McBride drove his car into the back of a black electrical worker and pinned him to his utility truck.

“I’m Jesus Christ and I can do anything I f***ing want to do,” he supposedly told Kai, a hitchhiker he’d picked up, right before slamming into the man.

Apparently intent to finish him off, McBride stepped out of his truck and tried yank him out from between the two vehicles. All along, he spewed more weird racist rants: He was Jesus reborn, and he was here to remove “ni**ers” from the face of the Earth.

Tanya Baker, an eyewitness, ran over to try stop him. McBride responded by smothering her in a bear hug.  Full Article
