The, you know the episode you got yesterday with the her on the phone with the DA and you know, the Assistant DA's and how they just followed her tooth and nail and how she stood up as a mother. And the second part of that will be next week. And. And then we're gonna do what we're gonna do on it. So if you haven't seen that series that all you the new lifers, we have, that's a case that was just messed up from the get go. And it is what it is. All right. All right, y', all, let's get out some true crime time for this Sunday, all right? And if I could get this to play, I would, but I don't really know how to do it. The. The, the two men from Texas, they went to Detroit and they got a gift that keeps on giving. They got a federal indictment. Let me see if I can tell you why.
- [04:39]
News Reporter
Two men now face federal charges for allegedly stealing an ATM and going on a shopping spree at Somerset Mall in Troy. It happened in September of last year. According to court documents, Darrell Edwards Jr. And Braylon Marshall attached hooks and chains to the ATM and used a stolen pickup truck to rip open the front of the machine. Officials say they got around $138,000. They say they used the cash that same day at several luxury retail stores at Somerset. They were both charged in federal court because they allegedly traveled from Texas to commit the crime.
- [05:16]
Woody Overton
These two guys, these two Texas gentlemen, if you will, steal a truck, go to Detroit somewhere in Michigan, right? And. And they're charged. You just heard it, but they're charged in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. And the charts say that around 4am on September 27th of 2024, Daryl Evers Jr. Emma Braylon Marshall, who are both from the Houston area, and two other suspects. They got some hooks, y', all, and some chains, and they in a crowbar and they ripped open the ATM machine from a credit union and they stole the cash. Not only did they steal the cash, they caused $80,000, $80,263 worth of damage. Right? How in the. I guess they ripped a hole in the wall or something, I don't know. The. The other two suspects haven't been identified yet, but an investigation revealed that Edwards rented a vehicle in Texas, and then the suspects went to Michigan, where they stole a pickup truck from a dealership in Roseville that they used in the ATM robbery. So federal investigators say that Marshall abandoned the stolen pickup truck after the robbery. And according to the court filing, the suspect spent the money at the mall later that day. And they purchase items from various stores, including high end retail stores. And they walked out with multiple bags of merchandise that they paid for in cash. I don't remember why you drive from Texas to Michigan to rob an atm. Maybe they have some inside information. But the federal authorities say that Edwards has a criminal history that includes theft in Texas in 2006, possession of a controlled substance in Texas in 2009 and in 2020, and transporting, selling a controlled substance in Arizona in 2015. So this cat gets around, right? Marshall has a criminal background that includes felonious assault in Texas in 2015 and a felon in possession of a firearm in Texas in 2023. The. The feds uncovered other bank robberies in the metro Detroit area. They. They also think these gentlemen from Houston went up there today. Ain't that crazy that I don't know. You have some inside information. I don't know how you steal a. A truck from a dealership. The. The enterprise and criminals, I guess. And then it is what it is. But the. I. I don't know who. I don't know how much an ATM machine holds. Somebody tell me, because you get $185,000 cash, and that's not the only one they hit. So sounding like they perfected their craft and. And there you have it. All right, y', all. Let me tell you that this pretty ingenious criminals and you. You know, they always talk about prison food and the meals they can make out of crackers and soups and shit like that. I mean, they're pretty ingenious at it, right? They let's prison shit from the canteen, you know, and they all put in a little stuff in the pot and stir it up, if you will, and have some good old prison food. Right. Other than what the dining hall is going to serve. Well, then we're going to go out to South Carolina and let me tell you about a special meal these cats were planning on having.

Greg Adeline
I'm Greg Adeline in the WIS First Alert News center here in the WIS Newsroom following a story that is trending right now on Facebook. You very likely may have seen this story. Authorities apparently busted a drone delivery that may have ruined a planned crab boil at a South Carolina prison. Take a look. All of this happening at the Lee Correctional Institution as the South Carolina Department of Corrections says the drone was to deliver those items to that facility. You can also see among the items are marijuana cigarettes, but there are crab legs, old bay seasoning and a steak. Now, we don't know if anyone's been arrested and we've asked for more information on this bus. We don't know if there are any charges forthcoming and not clear who that drone was delivering to. Of course, as we find out more information, we'll bring it to you on air and online wistv.com and all of our digital platforms.
- [09:54]
Woody Overton
Now, I've heard some right then in drones are nothing new. And back in my day, they used to like have the work cruise on the side of the road and somebody would throw out a tennis ball with dope in it and, and they would pick it up on the trash cruise, smuggle it back in or whatever. I also know the instances where people have thrown over the fence like, you know, in a tennis ball or, or what or baseball or whatever, and the inmates pick it up. But these cats were planning on having a crab bowl. You know, the cops, the correctional officers busted them the and they say they recently intercepted a drone delivering several items, including marijuana to the Lee Correctional Institution in Lee county and up in South Carolina. So they, they actually show a picture of it. Y' all. In the believe it or not, there is a steak and there are crab legs. Like I'm not Alaskan King, but maybe snow crabs or whatever. And the season, the cooking with and of course, you got to have smokes after a good meal, right? Who in the gets a ribeye in prison, much less crab legs. Now that tells me and the season to do it in that tells me that I'm pretty sure it's an ongoing deal and just kind of crazy, I guess. You know, if you got the money, you can get it done. But they I couldn't imagine how much a crab leg would sell for in Prison, like a little bitty pin joint that would cost marijuana roll joint. I'm talking about the smallest you can make that would cost, like, $2 on the street would sell for a hundred dollars inside. So I understand the marijuana even now, cigarettes that they've been outlawed, that used to be the currency in all. All prisons. So they're getting it, and. Well, they didn't get it this time, and so they won't be having crab legs and ribeyes. It's crazy. All right, we'll go out to Clay County, Missouri. In a bank teller is credited with saving a woman from losing thousands of dollars after noticing the signs of a scam. Y', all, you don't know this. Like our best banker, I say chick Lori, but she knows that I have nothing but the love and respect for. They're trained, especially on elderly people and different things. If they have some suspicions about something, they're trained to alert and try to stop it. Right. All the different scams. So the Clay County Sheriff's Office shared the close call in a Facebook post and said the scammers have been back at it in the last few days. Right. Scammers gotta pay for Christmas presents, too. Scammers will often try to convince people over the phone that they miss jury duty and need to pay a cash bond to avoid getting arrested. Those targeted are often urged to pay by withdrawing cash from their bank accounts and deposited into Bitcoin ATMs. Now, in this case, the victim said the scammers told her not to hang up the phone or to speak to anyone else. So she goes to her bank, Right? And she tried to withdraw thousands of dollars from her account, but the teller slid her a note that said, you are being scammed. And then to step it up even further, the tailor was like, I'm sorry, I'm not giving you your own money. Right. Thank God she didn't. So the woman hung up the phone at that point and called the sheriff's office. Well, naturally, the sheriff's office thanked all the bank tellers for the role in stopping scammers short. And they shared the following reminders. Deputies will never call to inform you of a warrant for your arrest. Deputies will never call asking for money. And notices that you may or that you have missed your duty are typically sent via mail. Let's talk. I want to talk about that real quick. All the. They. They tried all this on me over the years. I remember one time I said in my office, Louisiana State Police Headquarters, phone rings, and a dude's like, is this we Drove over Tennessee. Yes, it is. And he's like, well, we have a warrant for your risk, and you've got to pay X amount of dollars or we're coming to affect the warrant at your work today. I said, really? I said, what, What? Where's this warrant out of? And they said, livingston County. Well, we don't have counties in. In Louisiana. We have parishes signing, right As I just sometimes I like to with people on the phone, and then I'm like, okay, and the warrant is for what? And he said, whatever. I said, okay. I said, well, you know what? You're gonna come rest me today if I don't pay this right now. He said, absolutely. We have deputies on standby.

Name and I said, you're full of. And it was like, what do you mean, sir? And we're a charity collecting the support or troopers. I said, well, I'm at state police headquarters and you're full of shit. This organization doesn't exist. The other one they'll get you on is like police foundations or sheriff's office, whatever. They. And people do it all the time. My dad had done it in years previous. They, they sent out this card in the mail and they asked for donations and they said, we'll give you a sticker. You see all these people riding around with the stickers in their windows from the sheriff's office or, you know, I donate to whatever. The little stickers, right? The little badges. Well, they think that's going to get them out of traffic. Shit. Well guess what, it's false. You got robbed. So they will not solicit money over the phone and you're not going to get arrested. If you get arrested then you know, you already know you did something bad. If you've never done anything bad in your life and somebody calls and says you have a warrant, tell them to go themselves. Per Woody Everton, it's time for Family matters. All right y', all, let me tell you about another effed up family, right? Family matters. So the mother and grandmother of a two year old girl were arrested in San Antonio, Texas after the baby was found wandering the woods barefoot and alone early Friday morning. So Haley Peoples, who's the child's mother and Rebecca Kelly, the child's grandmother were booked into the Bear County Jail on Friday on various charges. And according to a statement from the Bexar County Sheriff's Office or BCSO, sheriff's deputies responded to a call around 6am from a concerned neighbor who spots the child. And, and while reviewing trail camera video footage. Right. Like I have on all my deer stands and they, they're cellular activated now so come to your phone, you get alerts. So they're like let me look at my deer cam. And there is a two year old wander around in the woods and look, even though it's San Antonio, Texas, I'm sure this baby was cold and I don't know what the temperature was this day but it, yeah, they said with temperatures in the 40s, this little girl faced potential life threatening danger at that hour. It's according to bcsa, the call immediately prompted a search for the unidentified child. Sheriff's deppies then received a call around 7:20am from the girl's mother, Haley Perkins. Haley claimed she found the child outside at 4:15am but did not contact law enforcement for several hours while deputies were actively searching. Right. I mean you can imagine the panic and it's 40 degrees and you got a barefoot 2 year old in the woods. But yeah, you found her and you just don't tell the cops because you knew you're asking me to crack. So deputies then went to the girl's home where they found unsafe living conditions including trash sold clothing, rotting food, rat droppings and a heavy odor of urine. And this court of bcsa, they said the child was also found sold which prompted EMS to request a medical evaluation and the mother declined care and refused to change the child's clothing. Now your 2 year old has got a shitty diaper and the cops are there and they're checking her out and you're like it. I'm not. I'm not changing her clothing. I'm pretty sure you're not going to be a mother much longer or the mother in possession of that baby. So deputies then detain Peoples and they said that it was due to the hazardous conditions, the refusal of medical care and the severe risk posed to the child. Now during the investigation of the home people's mother and the child's grandmother, Rebecca Kelly tried to remove the girl's three siblings from the elementary school they were attending prior to 9am Said parents arrested for keeping five children in a dungeon with deplorable living conditions. According to The Bexar County DA's office in quotations says school staff reported she claimed CPS Child Protective Services was arriving and told the children not to talk about the early morning incident, calling it a private family matter. Get it? Name of the segment Family Matters. And they said this attempt to interfere with a child safety investigation further endangered the siblings and instructed lawful efforts to ensure the baby's well being. It said Haley Peoples was arrested for abandoning and endangering a child, imminent danger of bodily injury. And Rebecca Kelly was arrested for interference with investigations of abuse slash neglect. And they were both booked into the Bexar County Jail. So the four children, all of whom were under the age of eight, were transported to the hospital for further investigation. Geez Louise. Man, it's, you know, they're lucky. First of all, that baby didn't die and somebody just happened to have a cell camera out there and you know, living in a rat infested, rotten food, whatever. And I've been on these scenes and they're just horrible. And you just, your heart breaks for the kids because you just think they have no freaking chance of survival. Yeah. I mean, but you, you're basically. Most people are learned products of their environment. Right? Well, there you have it. Let's come back to the great state of Louisiana. And this one made it all the way to the New York Post. Y' all in, in Louisiana, we like to lock our bad guys up. Well, you know what, A lot of times the bad guys like to get out. And three inmates broke out of a Louisiana jail through a crumbling wall on Wednesday. And authorities are racing to capture the final escapee who just so happens y' all is a murder suspect. Right. The fugitive trio who was Joseph Allen Harrington, who's 26, Jonathan Javon, Joseph, who's 24 and Keith Eli, who's 24. They all escaped the St. Landry Parish jail in Opelous by prying through a decaying wall over time and lowering themselves to freedom with sheets and other items. And this cord to the St. Landry Parish Sheriff's office. The. Let me tell you about that look good people down there. I know some. Some guys that work there. The jails are funded by the sheriff. Well, the parish in Louisiana fund the jails. The sheriff is responsible for funding the correctional offers officers to keep, you know, the bad guys locked up and what have you. The who knows about the deteriorating condition of the bill of the. The building. Like when I was in Burnham Parish last week, the. The. You know, it's obviously an old facility, but they keep it very well maintained. The floors are super buff shine and you know, everything's painted pretty and. And all that stuff. You would figure somebody might have have noticed them chopping through a wall, but who knows, right? The not throwing shade. It is what it is. Inmates are going to do what they want to do, which is to escape. They don't want to be in jail. And that happens, unfortunately. Like remember the one in your own that they made the big hole in the wall by the sink. Nobody ever saw it. It's fucking crazy. It's time for family matters. Here we come with another family matters and we're going to Missouri, y'. All. And a mom and dad from Missouri, Stan, accused of inflicting horrific abuse on their own children, including locking them up and starving them. Now, as soon as here, she'd cry. According to the police, the kids were starving to the point where they were forced to break locks on cabinets to eat and physically disciplined for vomiting from severe hunger. These do not deserve to live. And wait till you hear the rest of the story. So the mom, Amberly Britton, is said to have blamed her three children while showing no remorse for. For the abuse and neglect they suffered at her hands. And this, y', all, this is a matter of public record. This according to the probable call statements that were filed by the St. Charles County Police Department. Now Mark Myers, the father of the children, also told investigators he blames the children, saying they lie. All right, well, let's continue on. According to the probable call statement, the children's division initiated an investigation after one of the victims children arrived at school with a significant laceration that required medical care. Right. So little baby shows up at school, got a open ass cut and you know, school's going to do what they do. They're going to send to the nurse take care of it. So the children division is called and they get out there. And they look at and they're like, this is fucked up. So they call the cops for assistance due to concerns about the child's welfare and the conditions of the home. And they said it comes after another tragedy as a family portrait exposes a sick secret. Before dad killed seven in a massacre. Right? We told you about that story. But when the law enforcement investigate the family's home, they witness hazardous and unsanitary living conditions. And according to the police statements, this included extreme clutter throughout the home, strong odors of urine, no bedding on mattresses, and a large amount of dirty dishes and debris covering surfaces. Continuing, the police say that the kitchen cabinets and refrigerator were secured with locks. Lock Shaw, but not only going to starve you, we're going to lock our up so you can't have any. They are kitchen cabinets and the refrigerators are secured with locks so that the children were unable to access food. While the parents said they need the locks to control what their children were eating. Well, you know what? Some sound like they were eating a lot. But during multiple visits, the adults appeared evasive, impaired or unresponsive and repeatedly claimed to be unable to complete drug testing after investigators received information that our old, dear, old friend methamphetamine was being used inside the residence. All in the probable call statement, it said despite being given the opportunity to clean and correct safety hazards, no meaningful improvements were made. Okay, so the abuse was described by two of the couple's three children who said they were regularly locked inside their bedroom, sometimes at night. A particularly herring, harrowing account came from one of the children who is 13 years old, who told cops they felt pain and were vomiting from severe hunger. And then you throw up because you have a severe hunger. Your stomach hurts that bad. And guess what? They got punished for throwing up. Why don't you feed your kid so they're not throwing up from hunger? The statements also say that children further reported they were required to care for themselves and each other, including waking themselves, preparing food and getting ready for school due to the adults sleeping, their parents sleeping for extended periods of time and failing to provide any supervision. They said they described being subjected to physical discipline, including being struck with belts, paddles and other objects, as well as being grabbed or dragged by the neck. The children said they were told not to tell anyone about the abuse and that their bruises and injuries were concealed. Y' all, come on, man. It said they also feared additional punishment if they told anyone about the abuse. I guess called grooming them in reverse order. So the proba Call statement said the children's windows had been screwed shut to prevent them from leaving when confined. Thank God the place didn't catch on fire. Investigators corroborated these statements and observed locks on all cabinets and refrigerators. Locks were also found on each bedroom door and these locks required fingerprints to access. You got enough money for that, but you can't feed your kid right? Hey y'.

Naturally, due to the unsanitary conditions in the home, it was considered uninhabitable. Police found no children's toys or clothing inside the house, despite the the Mother Breton having recently received an inheritance, I'm sure she smoked that up the Glass stick. And according to the statement, there was no indication that any of those funds were used for the children. And both parents are being held on250,000 cash only bonds. And both were charged with second degree drug trafficking and three counts of first degree endangering the welfare of a child. Well, they should be just mind blowing, man. But what point is meth ruin you so bad you gotta lock up your kids and starve them to death, Lock up the food and beat them and cut them and. And do whatever. I don't get it. All right, Just don't get it. All right, y', all, we're gonna roll down to Florida and you know, cops coming into contact with all kinds of people. And like you've heard me say a thousand times, I used to stop more people than anybody for valid reasons. Whether it's white light required, you know, you bump the line, whatever. But I was looking for dope right before working my first homicide. And I was very, very good at it. But the bad people that are holland dope and I always say it has to go from point A to point B, right? From wherever the dope originated from to the person that's going to smoke it or use it. Then they had it or they attempt to hide things and well, we're going to the Palm coast, Florida in dramatic scenes unfolded when Ms. Kylie Pope, who's 27 years old, well, you know what? She found herself in the back of a police car after a hidden run with the law. That's stranger than fiction. The story is crazy. So according to the Flagler county sheriff's office pose knight took a nose dive after officers pulled her over on November 29th because they suspected she was behind the wheel while impaired. And guess what? She wasn't alone. She had a toddler with her. Right. So authorities say pose trouble started when she blasted through a red light at the bustling crossroads of Palm coast Parkway and i95. The cops saw her naturally. And they spotted two passengers, one who's barely out of diapers. Well, cops do what they do. They turn on the lights and then they had to turn on the sirens. And the poe the cops are saying that they, they claim she had all the classic signs of slurred words, blurry eyes and wobbly steps that couldn't fool the trained police officers. Right? So as the lights of Palm coast swirled behind her, Poe agreed to serious field sobriety test. And yeah, I know you used to get that. But people were effed up out of me can't even stand up and yeah. Yeah. I'll take your field sobriety test. Okay. Let's see how that's going to work out for you. So she did. She took sobriety test. And by the time she was finished, the deputies reported she ticked every box for impairment, including six out of six telltale eye movements linked to drug or alcohol use. But story's not over. Story's not over. It gets wilder. Once back at the station, Poe consented to breathalyzer checks not once, but twice. And guess what? Both tests came back negative. She had zero percent alcohol in her system. Well, was that mean. She's got. She's high on her own supply, right? So the cops start to look for the other substances. And law enforcement say that PO attempted a sneaky move to keep her stash hidden. And according to the Rust report, she tried to conceal Xanax pills, which are disruption drugs meant for anxiety and. But people like to take them to get high. Also on the darknet. And she tried to conceal them. Might ask where. I hope you never bought any Xanax from this young lady. She tried to conceal them inside her body cavities while she's in the jail. Now, PO faces a rap sheet stacked with charges of dui, decline in mandatory testing, sneaking control substances in the jail, attempt to distribute, and tampering with evidence. And officials from the sheriff's office say the case is ongoing as they dig into the events of that chaotic night. Crazy. All right, The. I'm sure not only did child protect the service get called yet, you got a toddler and you just roll right through a red light. Thank God nobody was coming through at that time and didn't kill that baby. I mean, if you want to be a stupid and get high and be so messed up on pills that you. You're incapacitated, hey, do us all a favor and leave your kid at home, right? So we don't have to be reading the story about that then. Xanax is, y'. All. Or Xana Bars are more commonly sold than Xanax's or the Xanax being purple football. Like one milligram. The zany bars are like two to four milligrams. Look, I like two or three dollars a piece, maybe five dollars, maybe ten dollars on the street. You are going. You're going. You're arrested. You're going to jail. You know you're going to jail, and you're gonna hide the Xanax inside your coochie in your booty. I am not doing. Mama. Karen Northal. I know. I bet you she. She wouldn't have missed it when she was doing a physical inspection visual body cavity search of any female that came in that was hiding in their privates. Stupid. And now she's going to be known as the mother who put stuff where God didn't intend for it to go. You know, people steal all kinds of and you know, some of it is just a crime opportunity. Like they break in your house and they don't really know what they're looking for. They're hoping you got good like a TV or whatever. The guys I told you about broke into the ATM machines and. And stole. Right. The. I sometimes wonder about the stupidity of that People steal. And let me tell you about this. So Amber Oglesby bought a dress in Kosovo, right? Overseas. And the. It wasn't just a regular dress y'. All and it was her wedding dress. Okay. And we're coming back to Louisiana, by the way. The An Amber Oglesby was or is a United States army officer. All right? And she had her wedding dress and her passport and she's at New Orleans International Airport. The abbreviations msy. And guess what happened. Someone stole a. Stole a wedding dress. The passport I guess for nefarious reasons. Why in the would you steal a wedding dress? Now look, I know they're expensive the you know but what are you gonna do with it? You go trade it for crack and hoping that your crack dealer's daughter is just going to be getting married or something. But anyway, let me tell you about Amber. She is the brat's bee and is devastated after her wed dress was stolen at the airport. She's an army officer and was returning home for Thanksgiving after being stationed in Kosovo when she realized that her carry on bag had gone missing at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. This cordon our friends at wsdu. So unfortunately, that bag contained her wedding dress which she, like I told you, she purchased in Kosovo as well hers, her passport and ID cards. And y' all would imagine that means her military id. According to the NBC affiliate, Oglesby was welcomed at the airport by her fiance Cody, alone and her one year old daughter. Now Cody was loading Oglesby's bags into the car while she was busy hugging her daughter. Right? Happy reunion. When they got home, that's when Oglesby realized the carry on bag is missing. She says look, it's got more sentimental value. I had this one thing that I was looking forward to being able to bring back with me and share this beautiful moment with my family and friends. And Oaksby told WDSU that she had an air tag in her luggage which initially took her to another section of the airport, specifically to the parking garage for airport employees. But the next morning she got another ping on the tag and it was at a residence in Kenner. And y', all, that's lifers if you don't know that's just on the outskirts in New Orleans suburb where the airport is. The so the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's office later makes an arrest in the case and kudos to them. And the bad guy is identified as Jesus Orleano Castillo in accordance JPSO Public Information Officer Brandonville and he told WSDU that Castillo, his 59, was a contract employee at the airport and they booked his ass on theft charges. Well, you know what? They didn't say whether Ms. Oglesby got her wedding dress and shit back. I hope she did. And keep your with you at all times. Obviously. I actually had my luggage broke into and they took my car keys out at New Orleans Airport and I guess they went into the parking garage and pressed and pressed and pressed. I was flying out so they got it on the way I got. When I got to Washington D.C. i realized that my suitcase has been gone through and I always kept my car keys in it. It was checked luggage because I had other I had do to check and I'm like me. And so I get back, I didn't have a spare key and and it was. It was a Mercedes at the time. You know how expensive those are? And I had to call Papa locks and everybody else and couldn't. They couldn't get in a damn car. So I had to take an Uber from MSY and Y over an hour and 15 minutes to my residence to get the other key and then Uber my ass back to new car. So I hate a thief. I truly, truly do. The the I got to my skin and shed the other night and my favorite knife is missing. The I had that thing like 25 years. It's so old. It's carbon steel blade. It's so old it's worn down halfway and it's got a rose wood teak handle and my daddy and mom gave it to me for Christmas like 25 years ago. And it's my favorite skin in life. It's some stole it right? Go get your own. Don't be a thief. Don't break into ATM machines. Don't lock your kids food up and starve them. Don't be a dick. Don't steal a wedding Russ. Don't be a dick. And I don't have anything else, y'. All. Cindy, be back with me tomorrow. I'm Woody Overton. You host a True Crime. Time for this Sunday drop, which we've never done before, I don't think, and I will holler at y' all later. Love you. Peace.
