Parents in DeSoto outraged over delayed disclosure of alleged sexual assault of a student
Outrage is growing in DeSoto after allegations surfaced that a substitute teacher sexually assaulted a student months ago, with the community only now learning of the incident. The accused, who has since been fired, was employed at Ruby Young STEAM Academy, which serves students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Local advocates and parents are questioning why the DeSoto Independent School District (ISD) did not inform the public sooner. Parents left in the dark Bryson Lanier Newton, 23, of Glenn Heights CBS News Texas "They're shocked. They were surprised," said Deputy Bryan Woodard, a Tarrant County officer who runs a widely followed local social media page. Woodard said parents often reach out to him when they feel unheard by officials. "A lot of people still couldn't believe it," he said. "But the main thing is, how come nobody said anything at all?" District responds to allegations According to a DeSoto ISD spokesperson, the substitute teacher was "removed from all assignments and permanently barred from returning to any DeSoto schools campus." In a statement dated June 3, the district confirmed it was notified in December 2024 of "an alleged inappropriate incident involving this individual and a student." The district said it is preparing to offer support to the student and family, acknowledging the broader impact on the school community. Social media sparks awareness Woodard said the district made no public effort to inform the community until he began sharing details of the arrest on his Facebook page, "The Everyday Life of Deputy Bryan Woodard." "I am not an officer for DeSoto. I'm a county cop," he said. "But still, that being said, no matter who it is, something needed to be said-especially when it comes to children." Investigation and arrest DeSoto police confirmed the investigation and arrest, stating that authorities were alerted after the student made an outcry. Following the investigation, charges were filed and an arrest was made. According to public records shared by Woodard, 23-year-old Bryson Lanier Newton of Glenn Heights was arrested in March. He faces charges of improper relationship between an educator and student, as well as a second felony charge of sexual assault (sodomy). Call for transparency "Yes, I put a picture up for his face to be sprayed everywhere," Woodard said. "If you know this person, talk with your children to see if there's anything they need to tell you." Jail records show the accused posted bond and was released in March.

Marines temporarily detain man while guarding LA federal building
LOS ANGELES — Shortly after they began guarding a Los Angeles federal building Friday, U.S. Marines detained a man who had walked onto the property and did not immediately hear their commands to stop. The brief detention marked the first time federal troops have detained a civilian since they were deployed to the nation's second-largest city by President Donald Trump in response to protests over the administration's immigration arrests. The Marines were activated earlier this week but began their duties Friday.

California sheriff says nearly a dozen deputies injured in anti-ICE riots
Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert G. Luna announced Friday that nearly a dozen deputies were injured during the ongoing riots. The riots began June 6 as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was conducting raids in the city and surrounding counties. Luna said 10 deputies were injured after protesters hurled rocks, Molotov cocktails and "high-grade pyrotechnics" at them. "We have been encountering some interesting weapons out there," Luna said. "[There is a] big difference between the peaceful protesters and the individuals who are coming out with weapons to attack our folks." The news conference focused on plans to address planned nationwide protests Saturday against the Trump administration. "It's a good cause, but we do not want violent agitators out there destroying property or committing acts of violence specifically against our police officers, deputy sheriffs and CHP [California Highway Patrol] officers," Luna said. "I just want to remind everybody that our deputies have and continue to face a dangerous situation out there." Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said the LAPD is "fully prepared" for the upcoming planned demonstrations and "unprecedented" crowds. "We're closely monitoring developments and deploying our personnel and resources strategically to protect public safety while safeguarding every individual's right to protest peacefully," McDonnell said. "If you come to our city with the intent to commit crimes, damage property or harm others, including our officers, you will be arrested," he added. "We will not allow violence, vandalism or threats to public safety to undermine the rights of those who are demonstrating lawfully. We're asking everyone who plans to participate in Saturday's event to do so peacefully and respectfully." Since the onset of the protests, McDonnell said hundreds of people have been arrested. He added that a curfew, which will remain in effect through the weekend, "has played a key role in helping to restore order, particularly by curbing the criminal activity that was largely occurring during the evening hours." CHP troopers will be on active patrol throughout the state looking for areas of concern. There will also be a focus on protecting state infrastructure.
