Woman arrested, accused of stalking and drive-by shooting in Baton Rouge
BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — A Baker woman was arrested after being accused of a drive-by shooting in Baton Rouge. According to an affidavit, the East Baton Rouge Sheriff's Office was called to the 5200 block of Bangor Drive about a shooting on the morning of May 15. When they arrived, deputies saw that two cars, as well as a home, had been hit by gunfire. Several of the bullets entered the house. During an interview, detectives learned that one of the victim's former dating partners had shown up at the home earlier that day, knocking on the windows. One of the victims identified the suspect as Rea Herrera, 30. Through an investigation, detectives obtained video surveillance of the incident. The video showed a car matching the description of Herrera's vehicle passing the residence several times before the shooting. The car was seen passing the home about one minute before a witness said they heard gunshots at around 1:17 a.m. EBRSO deputies attempted to interview Herrera at her home in Baker, but she denied being involved in the shooting. She became uncooperative and tried to run back into the home, but Baker police officers were able to detain Herrera. After securing a search warrant for Herrera's home and car, detectives found several spent bullet casings in the vehicle and an iPhone inside the home. The cell phone revealed a photo of a note, reading 'give me my shxt,' that was allegedly left at the victim's home by Herrera. Cell phone data confirmed that Herrera was in the area at the time of the shooting. Herrera was arrested and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of four counts of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated criminal damage to property, assault by drive-by shooting, and stalking.

Michelin-star chef called his assault victim from jail for help with bond: Court documents
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (WJW) — A Michelin-star chef is facing more charges after he reportedly tried to contact the woman he is accused of assaulting to help him get out of jail, court documents reveal. Jacob Bickelhaupt, 41, left a voicemail for the victim on June 4, telling her to call his public defender and say she didn't want a no-contact order that had been filed against him, according to a criminal affidavit obtained by FOX 8 News. He disappeared in 1991. Investigators now dig for clues in his family's old backyard 'I have nowhere to stay, nowhere to sleep. … I need your help,' Bickelhaupt reportedly said in one voicemail, asking her to help him post bond, which at the time was $90,000. Twenty minutes later he called again. 'Here is the deal, I know there is a lot going on, and you're in really bad shape. I'm going to be here for a very long time if you so choose, maybe a year,' he said. 'I'm not trying to sound inconsiderate right now. I really don't have a lot of time. I love you. Please call that number.' The number he called, according to the affidavit, was not the victim's own line, but a joint number for Bickelhaupt's high-end West Palm Beach restaurant, Konro. A business partner reported the calls to authorities, according to Palm Beach Sherriff's Office. With the discovery of the phone calls, witness tampering and contempt charges were added to Bickelhaupt's aggravated battery and battery charges. His bond now sits at $99,000, according to the sheriff's office. Man arrested in murder of missing father found dead in East Cleveland The West Palm Beach Police Department was originally called to Saint Mary's Medical Center on June 2, when a patient's story wasn't sitting right with the medical team. According to police, a patient told staff she had been in a car accident, but the story was inconsistent. The victim's injuries were so severe, with bruising and swelling to her face and upper body, she was rushed into an emergency brain bleed surgery. The victim reportedly told police the assault lasted two hours, leading in part to Bickelhaupt's arrest. The victim was recovering in an intensive care unit when Bickelhaupt attempted to reach out to her from jail, according to police. Konro is currently listed as 'temporarily closed' on the Michelin Guide's website. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Honor Home for women veterans opens in Stark County
CANTON, Ohio (WJW) — It was an exceptionally long ribbon to cut for what is a unique place — the first of its kind in Ohio. The Honor Home in Stark County is a place where homeless women veterans and their children can find a safe place to stay. 'We all need a soft place to land. It is beautiful that we have a home for homeless veterans, but it's horrible that we need one,' said Ohio Women Veterans Committee Chair Dana Robinson-Street. Michelin-star chef called his assault victim from jail for help with bond: Court documents Female veterans have different medical, emotional and personal needs than their male counterparts. One of the leading reasons many male veterans are homeless is substance abuse. The leading reason many female veterans are homeless is domestic violence. It took three years of planning and a whole community of people to make it happen, and on Thursday, June 12, Women Veterans Day, that safe space opened. The space will be more than just a place to stay. 'We're wrapping our resources around them, whether it's connecting them with compensation, pension discharge upgrades, [Veterans Affairs] health care. Every veteran who comes through here is going to get VA health care. … So we can address all of those barriers they're dealing with and help set them up for success,' Stark County Veterans Services Commission Director De Ann Williams said. The Honor Home for women veterans is actually two homes. The first is for women with children. The rooms feature bunk beds and there is a big playground out back. The second home is for single female veterans. Both homes are places were they can live for a while until they're able to get back on their feet and overcome the barriers in front of them. 'A place where they're able to sit back and just take a time out and work with people who are there to support them and work on 'How do I move forward?' Williams said. He disappeared in 1991. Investigators now dig for clues in his family's old backyard The first women will be welcomed to the house this week. Williams said there are plans to expand the services not only here but at the Honor Home for men, which will add more bed space by next spring. She said the veterans who are housed there will be given every opportunity to move forward with their lives, with services that they need. And because they answered the call of their country, these are services that are very much earned. The women's Honor Home still needs the community's help. They need donations to help them purchase furniture items like dressers, food for their pantry, toiletries and clothes for the women and children. Click here to donate.
