“It can't be fixed,” Francis Howard told ABC News.  “This house has been in my family for years.”

As of press time, there were no comments made regarding an outcome in the incident.

Couple Use Pitbull To Commit Robbery [Video]

Friday, April 30th, 2010

Indianapolis police were looking for a man  after he and his girlfriend robbed a woman, beat her up and allowed their dog to attack her while they snatched her purse.

"I was robbed,” Terri Henry told ABC News. “I was jumped and bit by a dog."

According to police, Terri Henry was attacked by her ex-roommate Andrew Thomas and his girlfriend Carley Woodward on the bus stop while she waited on the bus to go home.  Police state that the duo pulled up in a truck and immediately started attacking her.

While Woodward continued to beat on Henry, Thomas told his pitbull to attack.

"He was telling the dog, 'get her, get her," said Henry. "At first the dog scratched me on my lower back. And then he bit me."

After beating on her and blacking her eye, Thomas and Woodward were able to take the victims purse and belongings, but they didn't make it very far.

Police apprehended Woodward first and were on a two day manhunt searching for Townsend and his dog. Police later confirmed that they had arrested Townsend and that he and Woodward would be charged with robbery and assault with a deadly weapon among other charges.

"Instead of using a gun, they used their pit bull," David Wyser, Marion County Chief Trial Deputy told ABC News.  "We're alleging that this pit bull was used in lieu of say, for example, a knife or a gun and it becomes a deadly weapon under the statute.”

Prosecutors are calling that dog a deadly weapon, which makes the robbery and battery charges felonies. Both suspects are currently being held in the Marion County jail, but the dog still remains at large… Roof Roof!!!

5 Month Old Overdoses On Heroin, Mother Gets 30 Days In Jail

Friday, April 30th, 2010

The mother of a 5-month-old baby that overdosed on heroin has been sentenced to 30 days behind bars for child abuse.

36-year-old Marilyn R. Fischl of Springfield Virginia received her sentence yesterday for supplying the drug to two friends that were babysitting her son.

Prosecutors say when Fischl left her infant with the pair; they snorted lines of heroin with the 5-month old nearby.

After doing the drugs they left the child unattended and returned to find him with the wrapping paper of the drug in his mouth and his eyes rolling in the back of its head.

The young boy was taken to a hospital where doctors said he was having an overdose. The child survived and Fischl was arrested.

Yesterday prosecutors decided that the maximum five year penalty was too harsh for the mother and sentenced her to 30 days.
She could serve just half of that time however because of overcrowding in the Fairfax County jail.
Fischl has admitted to needing help with her drug problem and was previously arrested for possession with her boyfriend Rafael Preston pictured above.

“Welcome to F*ckSolar.com, the site that Solar is going to hate. We will follow Solar till his ass gets in jail, because that's where he belongs. So sit back, relax, grab some popcorn and enjoy the ride (No Solar).”

The site not only uncovers inconsistencies but even drops bombshells about information that was released by Solar.

Damn, Solar…it was all good just a week ago.
