Louisiana woman stabs grandfather in the face for asking her to take a shower, police say



A Louisiana woman has been arrested for stabbing her grandfather in the face after he asked her to take a shower, according to local police.

On Tuesday, 22-year-old Carrington Harris reportedly got into an argument with her grandparents at a residence in Keithville, Louisiana. Police say that Harris got into a confrontation with her grandparents over her hygiene habits.

Authorities claim that Harris flew into a rage after her grandfather asked her to take a shower. During the tense exchange, Harris allegedly began damaging property inside the home and switched off power to the house from outside.

The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office said in a statement, "Detectives say while the couple was trying to restrain Harris, she escaped and retrieved a knife from the kitchen, using it to stab her grandfather. Harris then ran from the house and hid in the woods."

Harris reportedly stabbed her grandfather in the face over the argument for her to shower. The wounded grandfather was rushed to the Willis-Knighton South Medical Center by Caddo Parish Fire District 6. Police did not divulge the condition of the man allegedly attacked by his granddaughter.

Harris reportedly fled into a nearby wooded area. A few hours later, police located Harris hiding behind a nearby house.

Harris was arrested and charged with one count of domestic abuse battery and another charge of domestic abuse battery with a dangerous weapon. She was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center. No bond has yet to be set in her case. Police did not say whether Harris has previous criminal convictions.

The investigation into the reported stabbing stemming from taking a shower is ongoing by the Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office.

Police: 4-year-old girl dead after mom, grandmother forced her to drink bottle of whiskey. She had a .680 blood alcohol content when officers arrived.



A mother and grandmother in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, have been arrested and charged with first-degree murder after allegedly forcing a 4-year-old girl to drink more than half a bottle of whisky, police said Friday.

The tragedy reportedly unfolded early Thursday morning inside an East Baton Rouge home when officers responded to reports of an unresponsive child, later identified as China Record, according to WAFB-TV.

In an arrest report, officers claimed that upon their arrival, they found the young girl with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .680 — or more than eight times the legal limit at which adults are considered too intoxicated to drive.

Firefighters and other emergency medical responders reportedly attempted to revive the young girl at the scene but were unsuccessful. Unsurprisingly, the local coroner's office soon determined the girl's cause of death to be acute alcohol poisoning.

Officers immediately arrested the child’s grandmother, 53-year-old Roxanne Record, and the victim’s mother, 28-year-old Kadjah Record and the pair is currently being held at the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison.

While speaking with the suspects following the incident, investigators reportedly learned that the victim’s grandmother discovered China sipping out of a bottle of whisky that had been on the counter and became angry. As an alleged punishment, she then forced the girl to drink the rest of the bottle while the mother watched.

Investigators added that the bottle was possibly more than half full at the time and that the young girl was made to drink the alcohol while on her knees in the hallway. China's mother was allegedly present during the incident but failed to prevent her mother from poisoning the child.

The Advocate reported that, according to arrest documents, the child's mother was "present and failed to stop" her mother "from providing the alcohol" and later placed the unresponsive child in a bathtub.

The alcohol consumed by the child was reportedly Canadian Mist, an 80 proof whisky, the outlet added, noting that whisky at 80 proof is 40% alcohol.

Upon being taken into custody, the grandmother, Roxanne Record, reportedly stated that "she messed up" and "wanted to take full responsibility" for the child’s death, adding that "this went too far" and "she ruined everyone’s lives."

In a statement to WAFB-TV, the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services said they are "devastated to hear the news of this child's death" but noted that they are prevented by state law from offering further comment on the case.

An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

18-year-old allegedly raped three young girls ages 11 to 13 after luring them on Snapchat. Authorities say there could be many more victims.



Police arrested an 18-year-old man in Covington, Louisiana, this week for allegedly raping at least three young girls between 11 and 13 years old after meeting them through mutual acquaintances or targeting them on the popular social media app Snapchat.

The suspect, Ryheim Ross, is currently in custody on three charges of first-degree rape and domestic abuse battery, the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office announced in a news release on Wednesday.

Ross had previously been arrested and booked on a rape charge in February as a result of an investigation into his alleged criminal actions against an 11-year-old. However, later, as that investigation continued, authorities reportedly became aware of two more alleged victims who were ages 12 and 13 when the crimes were committed.

Police filed subsequent charges against Ross in March for his alleged rape of the 12-year-old and in November for his rape of the 13-year-old.

Ross was also charged with one count of domestic abuse battery in connection with injuries he caused to his adult girlfriend, which authorities discovered as a result of the investigations, the sheriff's department noted.

"It is utterly appalling that this suspect preyed on young children using Snapchat and mutual acquaintances! When this happens in our community, those committing such heinous acts will be apprehended and charged accordingly," said Sheriff Randy Smith in a statement.

"Please be vigilant and if you have young children using social media, carefully monitor their content to protect them from being victimized," Smith added.

The news is a stark reminder for parents to be more diligent in monitoring their young children's use of social media apps such as Snapchat, which allows users to befriend other accounts and communicate with each other through short videos as well as photos and text messages.

The sheriff's department added that given the nature of Ross' crimes and the age of his victims, they believe there could be more out there who have yet to come forward with similar allegations.

The department instructed parents and members of the public to share any information they may have on additional victims by calling Sgt. Ryan Suhre at (985) 726-7839.
