“Outstanding service. They were extremely careful delivering the extra large container into our driveway.” -- A. L. GARNER
June 15 during her shift working at the Souper Salad in Hurst, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. “The baby just fell out,” she reportedly told officers. The woman said there wasn’t any indication that she was pregnant — but her cellphone records reportedly showed that she conducted more than 50 online searches relating to pregnancy, abortions, miscarriages and DNA tests. Police said Baker went to the bathroom multiple times on the day she gave birth, complaining to co-workers that she was suffering from a stomach ache. When another employee went to check on her, she asked for a pair of scissors, according to officials. She then reportedly left the restroom about 10 minutes later with a pair of bloody scissors. A co-worker called 911 to report she believed Baker had suffered a miscarriage. Officers arrived at the scene to find the infant alive and crying inside the dumpster. Baker was arrested Saturday on attempted capital murder charges after a warrant was issued. She remained in custody Monday at Tarrant County Correction Center on $50,000 bail. Share this: ...

FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) – Fort Worth is spending half a million dollars to keep an eye on the back roads and dead ends where trouble keeps piling up.The city is investing in 100 new cameras, specifically to catch people dumping trash illegally. The first cameras are expected to be put into use this month.The investment comes as trash cleaned from illegal dump sites in the city has increased since 2013. Almost 3,700 tons were collected in 2016.Fort Worth uses hidden cameras at chronic problem sites now, but they don’t always contain enough detail to use in prosecution.“You could see what the people looked like,” said code compliance director Brandon Bennett about a video captured in May. “You could see what the vehicle looked like. But you couldn’t see it well enough to read a license plate number, or to actually look at their face close enough to put it on the news and say do you know this person who was dumping?”The new cameras will do those things, he said.
