Mother, son arrested in aggravated assault following car accident

Columbus police have arrested two people in connection to the Wednesday night shooting following a car accident on Macon Road in front of Kmart.
Jasheeda Greene and her son, Jakevion Greene, have been arrested and charged with aggravated assault.
Authorities say Howard Hardick Jr. cut the Greenes off which is when their car rammed his in retaliation.
They all pulled into a parking lot, which is when Jakevion Green fire shots, hitting Hardick in the arm. He was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Jasheeda has also been charged with aggressive driving.
Isaac Brown who typically sells doughnuts outside of Kmart as fundraiser, told News Leader 9 that it's not often things like this happen in Midtown and believes this type of incident represents the actions of a select few people.
"It's not a whole group of people it's one person or maybe two people," Brown said.
Both suspect are being held in the Muscogee County Jail and will appear in Recorder's Court Saturday.

Police say the car, described as a beige 90s model Impala or Caprise, has a partial tag with the letters BYE.

Facebook crimes include terrorist threats to two area schools

It is a website most people use every single day, but some use it not only for good but to commit crimes.  School shootings have actually been threatened at two area schools, but police were able to prevent that crime thanks to Facebook.
Recently, there were threats made at both Central Freshman Academy and South Girard School in Phenix City. Many teachers, students, and parents never even heard about it because it took place online.
Lt. Jason Whitten with the Phenix City Police Department said, "The ones we've had recently is where someone has threatened to come to the school and threatened to do bodily harm to someone or several people. Saying things like ‘I'm going to come to school and shoot a bunch of people' or ‘I'm going to come to school and kill a bunch of people.' That right there causes disruption in the school and that is part of the terrorist threats law and that itself is a crime."
It's a fairly new crime, but Lt. Whitten says it carries very serious consequences, "Terrorist threats on Facebook towards schools and students in the school. We've had two this year where juveniles have been arrested for making terrorist threats."
The crime is a class C felony, meaning the suspect could spend up to five years in prison.
"The biggest thing is people in the heat of moment typing something out and hitting send. That stays there forever, and the damage is done," Whitten explained to News Leader 9.
Police are conducting complete investigations into these online crimes that take place in their area.
Whitten added, "The most difficult part is jurisdiction, where did the actual crime happen? The internet is everywhere and to commit a crime here in Russell County or Phenix City, Alabama, we need to establish that's where it took place."
Phenix City police have also solved some crimes due to what people post on Facebook. For instance, some burglars have posted pictures of the items they have stolen, and some parents have uploaded photos of their children that have helped police prove child abuse.

Tornadoes rip thru Dallas/Fort Worth area

Several tornadoes have roared through the Dallas-Fort Worth region and across parts of northeastern Texas.

At least two "large and extremely dangerous" tornadoes ripped across the Dallas-Forth Worth area this afternoon, collapsing roofs, tearing down power lines and tossing trailers around like toys, the National Weather Service says.

Several other twisters were reported as violent storms moved north through the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area.

The weather service says "considerable damage" has been reported near Cleburne, south of Fort Worth, and Lancaster, south of Dallas. Local television footage shows overturned and smashed semi-trailers on the ground in the southern portion of Dallas County. Dallas Police spokeswoman Sherri Jeffrey says twisters also have caused damage in the city limits.

A tornado watch — meaning that conditions are ripe for tornadoes to continue to form — was in place for 33 counties in north-central and northeastern Texas until 8 p.m. CDT, the National Weather Service reported

DALLAS | Tue Apr 3, 2012 5:25pm EDT

(Reuters) - Tornadoes tore through the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area in Texas on Tuesday, ripping apart buildings, tossing tractor trailer trucks into the air and grounding all planes in the region.
There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths although the storm was still active.
One tornado tore through the Flying J Truck Plaza in Dallas, grabbing two trailer trucks and tossing them, said truck driver Michael Glennon, who caught the destruction on his video camera as debris swirled through the air.
"The second trailer is ripped to pieces and thrown 50 to 100 feet into the air," he said.
National Weather Service meteorologist Amber Elliott said there were "reports of wall clouds and funnel clouds all over the area. It's an extremely dangerous situation."
All planes were grounded at Dallas-Fort Worth International airport, the eighth busiest in the world, because of reports of storms and tornadoes, American Airlines spokesman Tim Smith said.
Dallas-Fort Worth airport spokesman David Magana said officials ordered passengers away from windows and directed them into stairwells and restrooms.
At the nearby Omni Mandalay Las Colinas hotel, tornado sirens sounded, alerting guests to get to safety.
"The hotel has not been evacuated but we do have guests under cover," said a telephone receptionist at 421-room hotel.
WFAA television in Dallas aired footage showing residents in one hard-hit neighborhood frantically directing a policeman, who appeared to be searching for people trapped by the storm.
The surrounding streets were littered with fallen trees and other storm-generated debris.
CNN showed video from Dallas County showing a residential neighborhood where many homes had sustained serious structural damage, some missing their roofs or second stories missing, some reduced to rubble.
Video of a parking lot of a trucking company showed large trucks piled on top of one another, and some had their roofs ripped off.
The reports of tornadoes followed a "tornado emergency" declared by the National Weather Service for the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas on Tuesday.
"Two tornadoes are currently affecting the DFW metroplex. Take cover now!" said a warning on the National Weather Service website.

Clifton Lane Marsh---Brundidge Man---Shot To Death By Police

A Brundidge man was shot to death over the weekend by police in Waveland, Mississippi---the day he celebrated his 31^st birthday.

Officers in Mississippi say Clifton Lane Marsh was shot and killed by a patrolman after the two became involved in a chase over the weekend.

State Highway Patrol Master Sgt. Johnny Poulos said Waveland police responded to a suspicious vehicle behind a Mississippi hotel early Saturday. Police said when Marsh fled, the officer chased him on foot. Poulos said Marsh pulled a gun during the pursuit and the officer shot him.

The Southeast Sun newspaper reports Coffee County court records show a warrant was issued March 13 for Marsh after he failed to meet conditions of a bond in connection with two 2011 Enterprise arrests, one of which was manufacturing of methamphetamine. At the time of Marsh's arrest his address was listed as Cinema Drive, Enterprise.

The newspaper also reports District Judge Paul Sherling allowed Marsh to post bond under the condition Marsh wear a GPS ankle monitor. A warrant was issued after court officials discovered Marsh allowed the batteries to go dead and failed to pay fees associated with the ankle monitor.

WDHN reports Marsh had a long history of criminal offenses dating back until at least 2004.  He faced several drug charges, obstructing government operations, speeding, and probation revocation.

Gasoline: The Next Big U.S. Export
By Steve Hargreaves@CNNMoney

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The United States is awash in gasoline. So much so, in fact, that the country is exporting a record amount of it.
The country exported 430,000 more barrels of gasoline a day than it imported in September, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. That is about twice the amount at the start of the year, and experts and industry insiders say the trend is here to stay.
The United States began exporting gas in late 2008.* For decades prior, starting in 1960, the country used all the gas it produced here plus had to import gas from places in Europe.
But demand for gas has dropped nearly 10% in recent years. It went from a peak of 9.6 million barrels a day in 2007 to 8.8 million barrels today, according to the EIA. ...  Story continues here

* Is there a conflict here?  Late in 2008 (September) we read reports of gasoline shortages as indicated by the chart below:

Wrongfully jailed Alabama mom may get compensation

FILE - In this April 8, 2009 photo, Bridget Lee poses for a photograph at her home in Carrollton, Ala. Charged with capital murder in the death of her newborn baby in 2006, the longtime church pianist could now be fully vindicated since a review found that the child died of natural causes. Alabama made the first move Tuesday, March 20, 2012 toward paying nearly $119,000 to the church pianist who spent nine months in jail facing a capital murder charge that resulted from a botched autopsy on her newborn son.

By Phillip Rawls Associated Press / March 20, 2012

MONTGOMERY, Ala.—Alabama took the first step Tuesday toward paying nearly $119,000 to a church pianist and mother of two who was wrongfully jailed for nine months on a capital murder charge because of a botched autopsy on her newborn son.

The Senate's General Fund committee unanimously approved the payment Tuesday for Bridget Lee, a 37-year-old from Carrollton in west Alabama.

"I feel blessed they are considering that, but there is no amount of money that will get my life back," she said in a phone interview.

Alabama law allows the state Legislature to compensate people who are wrongfully incarcerated. The district attorney who initially prosecuted Lee, Chris McCool, said he never would have brought the case against her if he had been provided the correct facts from the beginning. He supports her getting compensated.

"Our job is not just to prosecute and win cases. Our job is to do justice," he said in an interview.

Lee acknowledges the facts looked bad when she was arrested in November 2006.

The bank bookkeeper and Baptist church pianist had an affair in her small west Alabama town of 1,000, got pregnant and tried to keep it secret. She felt sick on Nov. 6, 2006, went home from work and delivered a premature baby in her bathroom. She panicked, placed the newborn in a plastic container and hid it in her vehicle for several days before a co-worker's husband notified authorities.

Lee told investigators the baby was born dead, but a state forensic pathologist ruled the child was suffocated.

"I knew something was wrong because I knew I did not suffocate the baby, but I had no way to prove it," Lee said.

She was indicted for capital murder, which carries the death penalty. She spent nine months in jail and 20 months on home confinement at her parents' home.

During the ordeal, her husband divorced her and got custody of the children and their possessions.

Then her attorney got an independent expert to review the autopsy. His findings led the Alabama Department of Forensic Science to reopen the case and rule the child was stillborn. The department also reviewed dozens of other autopsies that the forensic pathologist performed during a brief stint with the department, but did not alter any of those.

Lee's life is partially back in order. She has a full-time data entry job. She's playing piano again at Aliceville First Baptist Church. And she's engaged.

But she said she only has visitation with her children, ages 8 and 10, every other weekend. And her life will never be normal again because some people will always question what happened.

"I live in a small town, and it will always be there," she said.

The payment to Lee is included in an appropriations measure that must be approved by the full Senate and House, and that must be signed by Gov. Robert Bentley.

The committee's chairman, Republican Sen. Arthur Orr of Decatur, said he expects that to happen because the payment has the backing of House and Senate leaders.

The $118,767 payment would amount to about $50,000 annually for the time she faced the capital murder charge.

"I pray and hope it passes because I lost everything. I lost my children and I lost my reputation," Lee said.
