As for the source of their symptoms, the doctors have speculated that the students might have eaten pot brownies. Jameli Haddad, one of the many parents who arrived at school after hearing about the incident, told the press that these things tend to happen and that he was straightforward with his child concerning drugs such as marijuana.

However, since the Prop 64 has passed, it would appear that incidents of this type have multiplied, as confirmed by Lindsay Sanders, the principal of the Edison High School. To prevent similar events in the future, the principal told students to refrain from bringing food or sweets from home in order to share them with their classmates.

In her statement, the school’s principal also declared that all parties involved in the recent pot brownies incident would face academic as well as legal consequences. Following the departure of the ambulances, classes were resumed, but the investigations have just begun.

Roger Kinney, a police sergeant, involved in the Sacramento child slayer case, declared that on the day of the triple homicide, one of Hodges’ neighbors called 911 and told the operator that there might be a case of domestic abuse in process.

Minutes later, the same caller dialed the emergency line saying that something awful might have happened since he could not hear any sound. Kinney said that the call was placed hours before Hodges killed his children.

The man’s affidavit suggests that he assaulted his wife beforehand, the reason why the woman left the apartment. Hours later, using a belt, Hodges strangled his three children, Kelvin Hodges,11, Julie Hodges, 9, and Lucas Hodges, the family’s infant.

Reportedly, the man tried to murder his wife, Mai Hodges that day. Hours later, the Sacramento police entered the apartment only to discover the lifeless bodies of Hodges’ children.

After murdering the little ones, Hodges left his house, only to be found a few hours later by a Highway Patrol Unit. One of his neighbors recalls seeing him leave the house fully composed and not a sign of remorse on his face.

On Monday, a California jury found him guilty on three counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison.

Oklahoma authorities have recently arrested and charged a 13-year-old boy with first-degree murder after he killed his friend with a hunting crossbow. The authorities declared that the boy would stand before the court as an adult.

Boy Brought Crossbow to Treehouse Session

According to the court documents, Austin Almanza, a 10-year-old Oklahoma resident and his 8-year-old brother set out to build a treehouse in an area near the boy’s home. They were also accompanied by their 13-year-old who, for some reason, brought along a hunting crossbow.

The three of them were working for some time on the treehouse when the two brothers told the 13-year-old that they must go home. Allegedly, when Austin told his friend that they’re expected home, the boy threw a fit and became violent.

According to the 8-year-old, without any warning, the 13-year-old drew out his hunting crossbow and shot his brother at a close distance. The blow was so powerful that the crossbow’s bolt exited Austin’s body and pierced his brother’s arm.

Apparently, the event’s aftermath was witnessed by the brothers’ uncle who came rushing. According to the man’s affidavit, when confronted, the boy simply answered that he believes he killed Austin and ran off crying to his house.

The authorities were shortly notified, and the 13-year-old arrested. During his police interview, the boy said that it was never his intention to kill Austin and that the weapon went off by accident.

However, the authorities were not swayed by the 13-year-old’s deposition and decided that he should answer for his deed as an adult. For the time being, the boy is charged with first-degree murder, and a judge posted a bail of $130,000.

Conclusion

The boy’s identity is not to be disclosed for the moment since the possibility of being trialed as a juvenile remains on the table. The boy’s hearing was set for Thursday.

Brian Keith Hawkins, a 44-year-old man from Redding, confessed during a KRCR News to being responsible for the murder of 19-year-old Frank McAlister. Hawkins also admitted that he was in cahoots with two other people, but that he wasn’t the one who devised the plan.

The 25-Year-Old McAlister Murder Mystery Unraveled

On the 7^th of May 1993, the authorities were notified that a 19-year-old Frank McAlister went missing. Several days later, the authorities discovered the man’s body in an abandoned Costco parking lot. The coroner’s report rubber-stamped the man’s death as a homicide, but the case was shortly put on ice since the authorities could not identify any suspects.

And now, after more than 20 years since the case was closed, during a KRCR News live TV interview, Brian Keith Hawkins, a 44-year-old Redding citizen, decided to come clean and confessed to the McAlister murder.

During his confession, Hawkins declared that he was not acting alone, but with two other people whom the authorities identified as being 45-year-old Curtis Dean Culver and his sister, 41-year-old Shana Nichole Culver.

Soon after Hawkins’ confession, the news station called the local authorities who arrested the man. During his police interview, Hawkins said that it was Curtis’ plan to tackle McAlister and that he didn’t want to murder him.

Luring him into the nearby woods under false pretense, Hawkins and the others repeatedly stabbed McAlister and later dumped his body in the abandoned Costco parking lot. The man said that they’d used McAlister’s money in order to purchase methamphetamine from a local dealer.

Eric Wallace, a police captain with the Redding force, declared that it’s a load of his mind knowing that this case has been officially closed. More than that, he took it upon himself to notify the victim’s next of kin.

Although relieved, Frank’s mother said that the news of Hawkins’ confession and an arrest made her relive those days of dread.

Because a few stiff drinks after a hard day’s work are just not enough to wish the gloom away, we give you the story of an 18-year-old Alabama man who took the expression ‘horsing around’ way too seriously. Mobile County Police took Daniel Bennett into custody after a couple caught the young man molesting a 20-year-old mare.

The Alabama Stable Menace Strikes Again

Seeing is usually believing but seeing too much can leave you with an all-out desire to sit on a red couch. While sitting in the house, Francine Janes and her husband, heard some commotion outside and went to investigate.

Francine recalled hearing the dogs barking louder than usual and asked her armed husband to tag along. The dogs led the increasingly frightened couple to the stable where Polly, the couple’s 20-year-old mare, was staying.

Lo and behold, after opening the stable’s door, the couple was greeted by a sight that they will never forget. Right there next to Polly was young Daniel Bennett, an 18-year-old Alabama resident, with a burglar’s toolbox right next to him.

Breaking into a stable might not be that bad, but according to the Janes couple, Bennett was actually molesting the poor mare. More than that, it would seem that this isn’t the first time Bennett broke into their stable for a romantic interlude with granny Polly.

Francine ran inside the house to call the authorities while her husband kept the Alabama man at gunpoint. When the law enforcement officers arrived to question and arrest Bennett, the young lad kept saying that he likes horses and that he only wanted to pet Polly.

Alabama Man Arrested and Charged

Unfortunately, this is one petting Polly won’t forget. The Alabama man was charged with a bestiality misdemeanor is scheduled to appear in court on the 18^th of January.
