Woman arrested after calling 911, claiming husband was a burglar
An Alabama woman is facing several charges over what police say was an “utterly ridiculous” attempt to scare her allegedly cheating husband.
Police in Millbrook say 33-year-old Amber Lewis called 911 to report a burglary Wednesday morning. They say when they responded, they found Lewis and a female friend outside Lewis’ home, and the pair told officers they didn’t know who was inside.
Officers soon determined that the “suspect” was Lewis’ husband and arrested her for filing a false police report, the Montgomery Advertiser reports. Police say they also noticed a “pervasive” odor of marijuana inside the home and found marijuana, cocaine, and other drugs inside the home, including in a 5-year-old child’s bedroom.
As a result of the drug find, Lewis was charged with second-degree possession of marijuana and chemical endangerment of a child. Her husband was charged with drug possession and her friend was charged with lying to police.
“Your guess is as good as mine. She knew her husband was engaged in an extramarital affair and called the police on her husband and told us it was a burglary. What her goal was, I have no idea,” Millbrook Police Chief PK Johnson tells the Advertiser. “Bottom line: You lie to the police, you go to jail.”
Johnson says officers were “absolutely furious” about the situation, especially since a small fire broke out at a nearby school at the same time and officers’ ability “to respond to calls for service and assist our fire department was severely handicapped.”

Man arrested in ‘grisly rape’ of 5-year-old girl whose injuries required surgery
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A 28-year-old Alabama man faces multiple charges after he allegedly raped a 5-year-old girl, leaving her with injuries that required surgery, police said.
Steven Sarandon Barnes faces charges of first-degree rape, aggravated child abuse, chemical endangerment of a child and marijuana possession, according to the Montgomery Advertiser.
“I will say that this is one of the worst cases that I’ve seen in my 31 years in law enforcement,” Millbrook Police Chief PK Johnson told the paper in an email.
Police arrested Barnes over the weekend after the girl was admitted to Prattville Baptist Hospital’s emergency room Friday. Police say she was taken to Children’s Hospital in Birmingham for surgery, and, as of Saturday night, she was recovering and in stable condition.
Prosecutors say they want to see Barnes sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
“The defendant has four prior felony convictions, including a crime of violence,” Chief Assistant District Attorney C.J. Robinson told Judge Glenn Goggans. “The defendant is a known drug user. Judge, this was a grisly rape, sexual assault of a 5-year-old child.”
Goggans ordered Barnes to be held on a total bond of $10,010,000. The judge reportedly said that he “would grant no bond in the case if I could.”
Chief Johnson added that investigators will do “everything we can to see justice is served for this little girl.”
Video shows rats scrambling over stove as Brooklyn mom tries to heat daughter’s bottle
BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, Brooklyn — A Brooklyn mother of three, who lives at the Brevoort Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant, says rats have ruled her kitchen for years.
As an example, the mother, who did not want to be identified, said she was just about to heat her 7-month-old daughter’s bottle of milk when several rats ran across the stove.
She captured the frolicking rodents on cellphone video.
“I went into the kitchen to make her a bottle and I see the mice playing on the stove,” the mother said. “I see them dancing and playing on the stove and chasing each other. I have clean pots — no, they are looking for food.”
A NYCHA spokesperson says the resident previously declined a scheduled extermination treatment last Monday. Staff began making repairs in the kitchen Monday, including removing kitchen cabinets and repairing any holes in the walls, and a new extermination has been scheduled.
The mother countered that she never declined extermination or a previous transfer and has a meeting with management Wednesday to fill out transfer paperwork.

Avengers: Endgame Movie Review (No Spoilers)
After 11 years and 22 movies the Infinity Saga comes to and end with the release of Avengers: Endgame. This hands down in my opinion will go down ad one of the best comic book movies ever made.
Since I won’t be revealing any spoilers in this review, I will say that this movie gives a very satisfying conclusion and a good sense of closure for the first 3 phases of Marvel. This movie does a good balance with action comedy and very emotional moments.
This movie is now on the list of few movies that has ever brought me to tears. Yes I said it I cried near the end of this movie. I won’t say why but once you watch the movie you’ll know why. There are a few things that I wish they added in the movie that didn’t make it in but over all it’s still satisfy with or without it.
With this being a somewhat fine it makes me more excited to see what will happen in the future of the MCU and to see who will be the new roster of heroes we’ll get to see.
Overall I give Avengers: Endgame an absolute 10/10. Try to see it as soon as you can to avoid spoilers. If you have seen it before, go back and see it again and again!
‘Surviving R. Kelly’ follow up coming to Lifetime with Soledad O’Brien
Article via USAToday
“Surviving R. Kelly” is getting a highly-anticipated follow-up.
“Surviving R Kelly: The Impact,” a two-hour follow-up special to the explosive “Surviving R. Kelly” series that debuted in January, premieres on the network on May 4th at 10 p.m. E.T.
The special, hosted by Soledad O’Brien, will recap the reactions to the initial explosive documentary, which premiered shortly before Kelly was charged with 10 counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse in February.
The special intends to “elevate the conversation on sexual violence and what it means to be a survivor,” per a press release.
Most recently, lawyers of Kelly’s were in court in April to argue over pretrial motions, including Kelly’s demand that prosecutors turn over copies of communications from Michael Avenatti, the attorney who claims to have found an old video showing Kelly having sex with one of his then-teen accusers.

An NFL rookie was shot just hours after he was drafted by the New York Giants
Corey Ballentine went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows over the weekend.
Despite playing football at a low-profile Division II school, Ballentine was drafted by the NFL’s New York Giants on Saturday night, the culmination of years of hard work on and off the field.
“I’ve been waiting on this opportunity for a lifetime really,” he told Giants coach Pat Shurmur after hearing the news.
But in a tragic turn just hours later, Ballentine was injured in an off-campus shooting in Topeka, Kansas, that killed one of his Washburn University teammates.
Dwane Simmons, a 23-year-old defensive back, was killed in the shooting, said Washburn President Jerry Farley.
Farley said Ballentine, who was drafted in the sixth round by the Giants, is expected to make a full recovery.
“Both Dwane and Corey have been great examples and representatives of the football team and of Washburn University in general,” Farley said in a statement. “This was a terrible way to end a day which should have been a day of celebration and a day to look forward to Dwane’s upcoming year at Washburn and the beginning of Corey’s professional career.”
The Giants said they are aware of the situation and are gathering information.
“We have spoken to Corey, and he is recovering in the hospital. Our thoughts are with Dwane Simmons’ family, friends and teammates and the rest of the Washburn community,” the team said.
Ballentine, a six-time member of his conference’s Academic Honor Roll, was the 180th person taken in the 2019 NFL draft.
“It’s all a crazy dream until you do it,” he tweeted. “I can’t even explain the emotions I have right now. (Shoutout) the people that told me to pick a more realistic career. This is as real as it gets. Thank you to the Giants organization for believing in me. It’s only up from here. #GiantsPride.”
In a video posted to the Giants website, Ballentine told Shurmur how happy he was to join the NFL team.
“I’m glad to be a part of this franchise. I’ve been waiting on this opportunity for a lifetime really,” he said. “I’m glad to be even a part of the conversation. I’m definitely ready to start learning and being around the guys and being around you guys.”
“Well, you’re not in the conversation,” coach Shurmur said with a smile. “You’re in the locker room now.”
