Another One in Need of Parenting Class

Phoenix stripper Samantha Abernathy (pictured) was arrested yesterday after cops discovered she'd left her two little kids, 1 and 3 years old, alone in the house for hours.

Neighbors called the cops at about 7:30 a.m. because the kids were running around loose in the apartment complex. Abernathy had left them alone since about two or three in the morning. When the kids were let back in their apartment, the 1-year-old immediately went to the pantry and began eating dog food.

The fridge had almost nothing in it but booze. By the way, Abernathy doesn't turn 21 until later this month.

UPDATE: Cops changed the story on Tuesday after New Times called for clarification. Now, police say neither of the kids was actually seen eating dog food.

Dallas police arrest mother in missing baby case

DALLAS — The mother of a 9-month-old girl who was reported abducted from her home told investigators the baby’s father actually dumped the infant’s dead body into Lewisville Lake near Dallas, according to court documents released Monday.

Tamaira Creagh, 19, was arrested on a charge of tampering with evidence, Dallas police said. Court documents say Creagh, who is six months pregnant, told police this weekend that the child’s body was dumped into the lake after she died while in her father’s care.

[...]

The baby’s father, 20-year-old Alandus Weaver, was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of tampering or fabricating evidence to hinder an investigation.

[...]

Police began searching for Daisja Weaver last Tuesday after her mother reported a man broke into her apartment, tried to sexually assault her then took the baby. Investigators were suspicious from the start because the parents gave conflicting accounts of what happened.

During a meeting with detectives Saturday, Creagh told them she found the baby on the floor wrapped in a towel after Weaver picked her up from work June 8. Weaver said he had given the baby a bath earlier, Creagh told police, according to an affidavit.

[...]

The next day they drove to the lake just north of Dallas, where Weaver stopped at the bridge and then dropped the baby into the water with a sandbag tied to her, Creagh told police.
