Mom Stuffs Newborn Into Duffel Bag After Baby Tests Positive for Meth Following Childbirth
A Merced woman faces child endangerment charges after she allegedly stuffed her newborn into a duffel bag and kidnapped the baby from a hospital in Fresno, according to reports.
Police say 35-year-old Stephanie Belden didn’t want her newborn baby to be taken away after testing positive for meth during childbirth on Aug. 17, the Merced Sun-Star reported. Police met with her three hours prior to let her know the child was going to be detained.
“The biological mother wasn’t very happy with that, went back up, made her way into the maternity ward and cut off the alarm bracelet off the newborn baby, put the newborn baby in a duffel bag and walked out of the hospital,” Fresno Police Department Lt. Jay Struble told Fresno television station KFSN.
A nurse noticed the child was missing around 7:30 p.m. and officers were called at 7:36 p.m. Belden was arrested at 7:58 p.m. after police found her “hiding” at her house.
She is charged with kidnapping, child stealing, child endangerment and a parole violation.

Utah Couple Charged With Murder, Child Abuse in Connection With Death of 13-Day-Old Baby
A Utah man has been charged with murder and child abuse in connection with the death of his girlfriend’s 13-day-old boy and the child’s mother also faces charges because she did not do anything to stop the abuse, officials said.
Maria Elena Sullivan, 26, and Dylan James Kitzmiller, 21, were charged with one count of first-degree murder and three counts of child abuse in the death of Sullivan’s infant son, according to court documents filed on Friday, KTLA sister station KSTU reported.
Sullivan was arrested at a Georgia hospital where she was seeking treatment and will face a judge to determine if she will be extradited back to Utah. Kitzmiller was arrested in a West Jordan, Utah, where the couple lived with a relative.
While officials don’t think Sullivan caused any of the abuse directly, she still faces a murder charge because she was aware of the abuse and took no steps to stop it or take the child to safety.
The child was born September 4 with no known health problems, and on September 17 the child was pronounced dead by medical responders.
Prosecutors allege Kitzmiller was abusing the child regularly and that Sullivan knew about the abuse, but did nothing to stop it or to get treatment for the injuries.
On the day of the child’s death, Sullivan told police she was on the phone with a friend and speaking about her desire to “get away from Kitzmiller’s abuse” of her and her son.
As this call was occurring, the baby was in Kitzmiller’s care. When Sullivan went downstairs, she found the baby wearing only a diaper while Kitzmiller moved the boy’s legs “in a rough weird bicycle thing.” Kitzmiller told Sullivan the boy would be fine and to just put him to sleep, she told police.
She picked him up and he seemed calmer, but later that night she heard the boy making noises and gasping for air. She pinched the boy to try to get him to respond and said she heard the baby gasp a few more times before the child stopped breathing.
The couple went upstairs to use a relative’s phone to call 911. First responders performed CPR but life-saving measures were ultimately unsuccessful.
Charging documents say Sullivan told police that Kitzmiller was rough with the baby, but she continued to leave him in his care. She also said she had learned the man was using heroin daily and said he was verbally abusive toward her.
She said Kitzmiller would abuse the boy, including grabbing him by the shoulder and throwing him in the air, swaddling him face down and on one occasion covering the boy’s mouth and nose with his hand as the baby cried. She said he once threw the baby back and forth between his hands and also slapped him in the face and bite his hands.
Charging documents state Sullivan was aware of the injuries but never sought medical care for her son.
Police said Kitzmiller told officers that Sullivan and a relative had yelled at him for being too rough with the baby and that Sullivan did not cause any of the boy’s injuries.
A doctor examined the boy and found he had lost 14 percent of his body mass in weight in the 13 days since his birth, going from 5 pounds 6 ounces to 4 pounds and 8 ounces at death. He had abrasions and bruises on his face and body. The boy also suffered a spinal fracture and a broken rib along with a “massive” amount of swelling in his brain.

Black Protester Hugs Nazi Outside Richard Spencer Event, Asks ‘Why Do You Hate Me?’ His response: “I don’t know”
Thousands of demonstrators were in Gainesville, Florida, on Thursday to protest a speech by white nationalist Richard Spencer, but one tried to counteract the hate with a hug.
It happened when a man wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with swastikas was surrounded by screaming protesters.
The man, later identified as Randy Furniss by the Gainesville Sun, was punched by one protester in a photo that has since gone viral.
But Aaron Courtney, a high school football coach in Gainesville, tried a different tactic. He went up to Furniss and tried to engage him in a more loving manner.
A video posted to Twitter by user Politics 4 Dummies shows Courtney hugging Furniss while asking him, “Why don’t you like me, dog?”
The 31-year-old Courtney told the New York Daily News the moment came after four hours of protesting Spencer’s speech.
“I had the opportunity to talk to someone who hates my guts and I wanted to know why. During our conversation, I asked him, ‘Why do you hate me? What is it about me? Is it my skin color? My history? My dreadlocks?’”
Courtney said he almost broke out in tears as Furniss ignored his questions, but decided that maybe “he just needs love. Maybe he never met an African-American like this.”
That’s when Courtney asked Furniss for the hug, which the man gave despite some initial resistance.
“I reached over and the third time, he wrapped his arms around me, and I heard God whisper in my ear, ‘You changed his life,’” Courtney told the Daily News.
Courtney said when he asked Furniss once again, “Why do you hate me?” Furniss finally answered, “I don’t know.”
Courtney took that as a honest response.
“I believe that was his sincere answer. He really doesn’t know,” Courtney said.

County employee accused of stealing $1.2 million worth of fajitas over 9 years
A former Texas county employee has been arrested for stealing $1.2 million worth of fajita meat.
Gilberto Escaramilla was fired from his Cameron County Juvenile Justice Department job in August. He was arrested for felony theft after a search warrant turned up packages of county-funded fajitas inside his refrigerator, according to Cameron County District Attorney Luis Saenz.
Escaramilla has acknowledged stealing packages of the food for nine years. An audit of vendor invoices showed Escaramilla intercepted food deliveries being made to the department.
“He would literally, on the day he ordered them, deliver them to customers he already had lined up,” Saenz told The Brownsville Herald. “We’ve been able to uncover two of his purchasers and they are cooperating with the investigation.”
How’d Escaramilla get caught after a nine-year run? He had a medical appointment and missed a day of work in August and a delivery driver called about the 800 pounds of fajitas he needed to deliver.
However, the Juvenile Department doesn’t serve Tex-Mex. A woman told the driver they don’t serve fajitas, but the driver insisted he’d been delivering them there for nine years.
Escaramilla showed up for work the next day, was confronted and admitted what he’d been doing, according to investigators.
“If it wasn’t so serious, you’d think it was a Saturday Night Live skit,” Saenz said. “But this is the real thing.”
College student arrested for putting toilet water in her roommate’s water bottle – victim seriously ill
A Tennessee State University student was arrested for pouring toilet water into her roommate’s water bottle — causing the woman to become ill.
Tierni Williams has been charged with adulteration of food or liquid as well as causing bodily harm.
Her unidentified roommate had diarrhea, lost her appetite and was losing weight on Oct. 5 when she discovered a Snapchat video recorded in their room, an arrest report cited by local media claims. Williams is allegedly filmed taking water out of the toilet bowl with a Styrofoam cup, according to reports.
The student then took the “nasty” water to the roommates section of the dorm, laughing and cursing.
She is heard saying the roommate is “gonna get sick from this,” Fox affiliate WZTV reported.
Williams was arrested Tuesday, and later released on $7,500 bond, local news network Channel 5 reported.
“In general, students who engage in conduct that may violate criminal laws and implicate the University’s Student Conduct Code will be subject to the University’s student disciplinary process, including sanctions ranging from immediate “interim suspension” to expulsion from the University,” Tennessee State University said in a statement to the channel.
