Source: Splash News / SplashNews.com / Splash News Amber Guyger Indicted For Murder In Botham Jean Shooting The former Dallas officer who gunned down Botham Jean in his own apartment has been indicted. CBS 11 reports that a grand jury has indicted Amber Guyger for murder in the September 6 shooting death. As previously reported Dallas Police Chief U. Renee Hall had already terminated her for “engaging in adverse conduct” when she was charged with manslaughter. This comes after local D.A. John Creuzot said he wanted Guyger to be charged with murder instead of manslaughter. Local media outlets have requested copies of the 911 call Guyger made after the shooting. So far the Dallas PD has declined to provide the call and sent the open records requests to the attorney general for final determination. This is a big win—for now. Let’s see how things go when the trial starts.
Even police have said the protest was peaceful, so why would Walsh blame protesters? Is it because they are trying to shake up the status quo by raising questions about police excessive force in communities of color?
In case you needed a reminder that cats are far braver than typically given credit for… A few days after posting footage of a feline showing no fear in the face of a mountain lion , we now present a somewhat old video of a cat standing up to an angry owl. After getting knocked back by the glass window between them, him and the scary bird, this cat jumps back up and initiates a stare down for the ages. The best part of the video takes place when one of the owners tries to get her husband to put an end to the confrontation and he replies: “I'm not touching that cat.” Anyone blame him?
A Texas man and woman were arrested on Wednesday for posing as dentists in Dallas and Houston after they left a patient severely injured. Authorities say Mario Alberto Sabillon-Mejia, 33, and his “assistant” Tiffany Gonzalez both face prison time for offering discount dental care. When Erika Martinez had a toothache that had been bothering her, she received a $9,000 quote from a dentist … then turned to Facebook. Can anyone recommend cheaper services, she pleaded?! A woman, allegedly Gonzalez, reached out and offered to do the procedure for $1,500. How could she say no to that kind of deal, right? Martinez claims Sabillon-Mejia and Gonzalez showed up May 25, administered a mild anesthetic and then pulled five of her teeth out. They allegedly rinsed their tools in Martinez’s sink and offered her some important instructions for post-extraction care before they left. “Just not to eat pork, and that was it,” Martinez recalled. According to Martinez, she asked them to stop the painful procedure, but the couple refused. She even claims she fainted at one point. “The truth is, it felt like it lasted years,” Martinez said. “It was horrible pain. Very traumatic.” She didn’t report them to police until June 3, when the shady pair allegedly gave the woman a tooth mold and demanded another $500. That’s when she became suspicious and called the cops. Martinez learned they didn’t have licenses, and “felt very lucky to be alive.” Police believe Sabillon-Mejia was “just getting his experience by practicing” on people that hired him,” Dallas Police Lt. Tony Crawford said. “He wanted to be a dentist, I’m assuming.” Just the same, Sabillon-Mejia and Gonzalez are charged with practicing medicine without a license, a very serious felony offense. Martinez needs extensive medical and dental treatment to heal from her injuries, and police are urging other victims to come forward. View Slideshow: Strange But True News Hall of Fame

A Dallas woman has been arrested for allegedly administering to patients illegal cosmetic procedures – butt injections – without a medical license, according to police. Denise Rochelle Ross, known as “Wee Wee,” turned herself in to authorities Wednesday because she had been wanted for practicing medicine without a license, according to the Dallas Police Department. Her alleged accomplice, Jimmy Joe Clark, is still at large. Ross was being held on $50,000 bond, according to court records, and police did not know if she had yet entered a plea in the case. Leah Still’s Cancer In Remission, NFL Player Dad Says Brittany Maynard’s Family Releases New Video in Support of Right-to-Die Legislation According to the arrest affidavit, Ross, 43, allegedly made an appointment with a “patient” over the phone who agreed to pay $520 for her first butt injection session. At the appointment, Ross allegedly injected a substance into one buttock and Clark allegedly injected it into the other, but they were vague about what they were doing when they explained the procedure, the affidavit alleges. Ross allegedly said it was water-based liquid saline and then said it was Hydro Gel. The patient “felt intense pain and was told to be quiet after screaming in agony,” the affidavit says. Afterward, Ross and Clark allegedly closed the injection holes with super glue and cotton balls to keep any of the liquid from coming out. They gave the patient two tubes of the glue to take home. Dr. Scot Glasberg, president of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, said illegal cosmetic procedures are on the rise among people hoping for a Kim Kardashian rear end while looking to save money. They can be harmful because often they’re not done with medical-grade silicon, but rather with the type of silicon used in construction. The most common side effects of these underground procedures are pain from scar tissue and infection, but sometimes the patient experiences excessive bleeding or the injectable material travels through the blood stream to the lungs, he said. “If you walk into a garage or a basement or a dimly lit little room somewhere, your natural instinct should be to walk away, to run away,” Glasberg said. “The downside of a little saving on cost is, potentially, your life.” Attempts by ABC News to reach Ross’ family members were unsuccessful.

Singer has been cited for disorderly conduct after a video-shoot witness filed a complaint with Dallas police. By Josh Wigler Erykah Badu in her video for “Window Seat” Photo: Universal Motown R&B singer Erykah Badu is learning the hard way that the naked truth isn’t always such a good thing. Having made headlines throughout the past week for shooting a music video for “Window Seat” while completely in the buff, Badu has been charged with disorderly conduct after police officers in Dallas received a formal complaint over the nude shoot, TMZ reported Friday (April 2). According to the site, a Texas woman filed an indecency complaint with police officials after she and her mother witnessed Badu shooting the guerrilla-style video completely naked. Erykah Badu’s ‘Window Seat’: Shot By Shot Dallas Police Department Senior Corporal Janice Crowther spoke with MTV News earlier this week and revealed that Badu and her colleagues did not file an official permit requesting to shoot the “Window Seat” music video, which filmed near the same spot where President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dealey Plaza in 1963. “They definitely did not get a permit,” Crowther said. “To shoot that video, they would have had to get a special-events permit from the events office, and it would have had to specify what type of filming they were doing, what subjects they would use and any traffic control they would need.” Indeed, directors Coodie and Chike of Creative Control revealed to MTV News that they did not seek out permits for the shoot and were well aware of potential attention from law-enforcement officials. Chike said Badu was fully prepared for the consequences. “We had bail money and everything,” Coodie said. “I think she really wanted to get arrested and even make a bigger message.” Do you think Badu should have been charged for her video shoot?
