Male, 41, accused of slapping, dragging, slamming down 23-month-old boy after child refused to give him goodnight kiss



A 41-year-old male is accused of slapping, dragging, and slamming down a 23-month-old boy after the child refused to give him a goodnight kiss.

Police in Killeen, Texas, said they were called to the 200 block of West Anderson Avenue on a domestic violence complaint, KWKT-TV reported. Killeen is a little over an hour north of Austin. Jail records indicate the incident occurred Friday.

'They need to lock him up and throw away the key.'

Police were told the child refused to give the male a goodnight kiss, the station said. The male is accused of slapping the boy on the cheeks, back, and buttocks, then dragging the boy to his bedroom, slamming the child upon the bed, pinning him down, and preventing him from reaching the person who ended up reporting the incident, KWKT reported.

The suspect was identified as Craig Lamont Jones, the station said.

He was arrested on charges of assault causing bodily injury to a family member and injury to a child with intent to cause bodily injury, KWKT said.

Jones on Wednesday morning remained in Bell County Jail. His bond totals $82,500.

How are people reacting?

As you might guess, observers are not happy with the accused:

  • "They need to lock him up and throw away the key," one Facebook commenter declared.
  • "Hell, I wouldn't kiss him, either," another user stated.
  • "I hope the mom moves far away," another commenter wrote.
  • "Keep this psycho away from kids," another user demanded.
  • "That poor baby," another commenter observed, adding, "Who knows what ... he’s been through."
  • "They about to have fun with him in jail," another user predicted.
  • "I’m thankful the other person in the household reported it and didn’t turn a blind eye to the abuse," another commenter said. "Hopefully this was an isolated incident for that poor baby."

Reversal of FATE: Steve Baker’s update on January 6 prisoners is ‘a good sign’



January 6 started as a chance for Trump supporters to innocently protest and quickly turned into a day that would change their lives forever.

Now, however, things might be taking a turn for the better.

“One J-sixer is seeing a reversal of fate,” Jill Savage of “Blaze New Tonight” explains.

“John Strand is actually one of the more, let’s call it, infamous stories, certainly one of the more high-profile cases of all the January 6 defendants,” Steve Baker tells Savage.

Strand was friend and bodyguard of Simone Gold — a doctor and attorney who was the deplatformed founder of the Frontline American Doctors. Gold had been accused of “disinformation” for recommending alternative therapies that were not part of what Baker calls the “approved narrative” regarding COVID-19.

Gold was scheduled to speak on January 6 at one of the six legally permitted events scheduled on the Capitol property that day.

“By the time they got to the Capitol, everything had gone to hell in a handbasket, and so there was nothing but chaos by the time they arrived. The breaches had already taken place. John Strand and Simone Gold did not participate in violence, they did not participate in breaching the Capitol building whatsoever,” Baker explains.

However, their fatal flaw was going inside the Capitol peacefully.

“She actually decided to deliver her prepared remarks there in the Rotunda. She climbed up on the Eisenhower statue, with John standing guard beside her, she delivered her remarks there in the great Rotunda of the Capitol, and then they peacefully left, just as so many other hundreds and thousands of people did,” Baker says.

Both Strand and Gold were “handed that infamous 1512 obstruction of an official proceeding felony.”

The felony carried up to 20 years of imprisonment.

Gold ended up taking a plea deal and pled down to a single misdemeanor. Judge Christopher Cooper sentenced her to 60 days in prison.

“John Strand decided he was not going to take this lying down, that he was going to be a warrior, and he, despite the odds being horribly stacked against him, he was going to go to trial and he did that,” Baker explains.

He was convicted on all counts, and he was sentenced to 32 months in prison.

“Now what’s happening is that because of the Supreme Court’s overturning the 1512 obstruction of an official proceeding charge against 355 defendants, him being one of those,” Baker says, “they’re shortening their sentences or letting them go.”

If they haven’t gone to trial yet, they’re not charging them with it.

“It’s especially a good sign because the Department of Justice has already announced that they want to figure out how to continue with that charge,” Baker explains. “But the point being, is it appears that the judges are pushing back against the DOJ.”

“We’ll take this as a good sign,” he adds.


Cops release from jail 77-year-old Oakland homeowner they say fatally shot break-in suspect



Police released from jail a 77-year-old Oakland homeowner they said fatally shot a break-in suspect last week.

The homeowner had been held without bail since early Tuesday on suspicion of murder; he was released from jail Thursday evening without facing any charges, the Mercury News reported, citing Alameda County jail records.

'You have a Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate yourself. And the fact that you exercise that right doesn’t seem like a reasonable basis to arrest somebody.'

Police said the homeowner killed one of three people who were trying to break into his home while wielding a crowbar and a replica gun, the paper said.

Jail records said the homeowner was scheduled for a Thursday morning arraignment, but Mercury News reported that the hearing never happened. An Alameda County Sheriff’s spokesperson told the paper the homeowner was released due to a lack of charges in the case.

County prosecutors had a deadline to file charges, Mercury News said, adding that the sheriff's office generally doesn't hold suspects for longer than two days when they haven't been formally charged.

However, the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office said in a Friday morning statement that “the case is still under investigation by the Oakland Police Department," the paper said.

At a Wednesday press conference, acting deputy chief Frederick Shavies said the homeowner “did not provide a statement” when homicide investigators questioned him, after which he was arrested, Mercury News said.

“Absent any sort of statement, if ‘A’ shoots ‘B’ without an explanation, we can only go with what we have,” Shavies said, according to the paper. “All we know is an individual lost his life.”

Legal experts told Mercury News that the homeowner’s arrest and the police department's reason for jailing him are concerning.

“I find it very troubling that the police would arrest someone because they didn’t make a statement,” Mathew Martinez, an East Bay defense attorney who spent 13 years as a prosecutor in Merced County, told the paper. “You have a Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate yourself. And the fact that you exercise that right doesn’t seem like a reasonable basis to arrest somebody.”

Daniel Horowitz, a Lafayette-based defense attorney, told Mercury News that it's "really incredible to arrest someone, just simply because there’s someone dead in your yard. If there’s just somebody on your property, and you have a gun and you shoot them, that’s not sufficient to arrest them. It just isn’t.”
