Recent Crimes and Accidents Make Headlines

A robbery incident occurred at Heathrow Airport's parking garage on Sunday, resulting in 21 people, including a 3-year-old child, being pepper-sprayed and requiring medical treatment. The incident happened when a group of four men stole a woman's suitcase in an elevator and sprayed an irritant at her. The suspects fled the scene, and a 31-year-old man was arrested. The authorities believe the incident involved a group of people known to each other, with an argument escalating and resulting in the pepper-spray assault. The incident led to hours of travel delays, but operations have since returned to normal.

Former Georgia beauty queen Trinity Madison Poague was sentenced to life in prison plus 20 concurrent years for the murder of her ex-boyfriend's 18-month-old son, Romeo 'Jaxton Dru' Angeles, in January 2024. Poague, 20, was found guilty of felony murder, aggravated battery, and child cruelty. The prosecution argued that Poague killed the toddler out of resentment because she wanted a child of her own with her ex-boyfriend, Julian Williams. Poague's account of the events was inconsistent with the medical examiner's findings, which revealed that the toddler suffered blunt-force trauma to his head and torso. Poague was stripped of her beauty pageant titles after being arrested for the murder.

A 64-year-old retired restaurant owner, Angelo Theodosiou, has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) after his 58-year-old wife, Christina Theodosiou, was killed in a golf cart accident in Nocatee, Florida. The couple was riding in their golf cart on November 30 when Christina fell out and hit her head on the pavement. Angelo was behind the wheel and showed signs of intoxication, including bloodshot eyes and the smell of alcohol on his breath. He refused to complete a field sobriety test and submit to a breathalyzer test. Angelo's lawyer claims he is 'heartbroken' and maintains his innocence, stating that he was not impaired at the time of the accident. Residents in the area expressed concerns that the recently opened greenway path had increased congestion and led to near-miss collisions between golf carts and e-bikes.
