Moment dad of girl, 2, left to die in scorching hot 43C car breaks down in tears
Christopher Scholtes, 37, from Arizona, cries out to police officers as he drops to his knees in video footage of the horror moment he is told about his daughter's death This is the moment a father drops to his knees as he's told by police he is being charged with the murder of his two-year-old year old daughter. In police body cam footage, Christopher Scholtes, 37, from Arizona, can also be seen crying out to officers in the horror moment he is told about his daughter's death. The 37-year-old has been charged with first degree murder after first being arrested on the lesser charge of second-degree murder. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. In the video, he is heard whimpering: "'I can't believe this. Oh my God." Cops found the little girl unresponsive in his car, where he is alleged to have left her while indulging in a gaming session. In the video of his arrest, he paces around his house in a panic as police and paramedics desperately try to revive two-year-old tot Parker. On the day in question, temperatures outside the vehicle had reached 43C. Officers later returned to charge the father-of-three, when his wife, Dr Erika Scholtes, kissed him before saying, 'I love you', while another family member is heard shouting at officers: "You have no heart. No f***ing heart at all," as he is handcuffed and taken to the police station. According to an interim complaint, Scholtes' wife found their daughter unconscious in the vehicle after returning home three hours later. At the time, the car's interior temperature had reached 43C (109F). Scholtes reportedly told Marana Police detectives that after running errands that day, he left his daughter in the car with the air conditioning on while she slept in her car seat. He allegedly knew that his car's engine shuts off automatically after 30 minutes. Scholtes' two other daughters, then six and nine years old, also reportedly told detectives that their father had previously left them alone in the car for extended periods. In a text exchange, his wife allegedly warned him repeatedly to stop leaving the children in the vehicle. "I told you to stop leaving them in the car, how many times have I told you,' his wife wrote, per the complaint. 'Babe, I'm sorry,' Scholtes responded. 'We've lost her, she was perfect,' wrote his wife. 'Babe our family. How could I do this. I killed our baby, this can't be real,' he replied. After reviewing the evidence, the Pima County Attorney's Office charged Scholtes with first-degree murder and intentional child abuse. At his arraignment, he pleaded not guilty to both charges. In March, Scholtes rejected a plea deal from prosecutors, which would have reduced the charge to second-degree murder if he had pleaded guilty, according to PEOPLE. Just days after rejecting the plea deal, Scholtes petitioned the court to allow him to travel to Maui with his family. Judge Ortiz approved the request but stipulated that Scholtes must comply with all parole conditions, including contacting pretrial services throughout the trip. Additionally, he was prohibited from having unsupervised contact with children, including his own. Prosecutors sought to have Scholtes surrender his passport before the trip, but Judge Ortiz denied this motion. Scholtes' trial is scheduled to begin on October 27, after being delayed from its original September start date. If convicted, Scholtes faces a potential life sentence in prison.

Appeals court sides with Olthof Homes against Chesterton imposing a $100,000 fine
The Indiana Court of Appeals has ruled that Chesterton's Storm Water Management Board was in error when it levied an additional $100,000 fine in April 2022 against Olthof Homes for muddy water runoff violations during construction of the Springdale subdivision. The Appeals Court on June 12 reversed a decision by Porter Superior Court that had upheld the stormwater board's right to impose the $100,000 fine. That penalty was on top of $37,400 in fines and a stop work order that lasted 11 days in March and April 2022. Chesterton's Storm Water Management Board has the right to levy a penalty for stormwater runoff violations, the court found. However, the court agreed with Olthof Homes that the town erred in citing its authority under sections of the town code to issue fines of up to $2,500 or $7,500 per violation, which contributed to the $100,000 penalty. The court found that the amounts should have been $100 or $250 per violation. The court gave the town's Storm Water Management Board the option of redetermining a new fine, but the penalties had to be $100 or $250 per violation, not the much higher figures. Associate Town Attorney Charles Parkinson advised the board not to discuss the decision during Monday's Chesterton Storm Water Management Board meeting. The board and council could discuss the matter and determine strategy in a closed executive session. The town can request that the Indiana Supreme Court hear the case. The town of Chesterton had battled for months with Olthof Homes between October 2020 and March 2022 over how the construction of the Springdale Homes subdivision was being conducted off County Road 1050. The problems included mud-clogged street inlets and rear yard drains, mud-encrusted curbs, downed silt fences and muddy streets. Differences reached a boiling point in March 2022, when the Storm Water Management Board ordered an administrative hearing. Town officials believed that Olthof Homes had been unresponsive to complaints, even after $37,400 in fines had been issued for 63 violations. Chesterton officials contended that Olthof Homes ignored the town's complaints and treated the fines as a cost of doing business. As a result of the hearing on March 29, 2022, the town stormwater board issued a stop-work order. Olthof Homes wasn't allowed to resume work until the town was satisfied on April 8 that year that the violations were addressed and there was a plan moving forward. The appeals court upheld that the town was clearly within its authority to issue a stop-work order. 'The Town issues such an order here, and Olthof Homes quickly came into compliance. In short, this isn't an enforcement scheme that is rendered ineffectual without the option of higher fines,' the decision said. The Storm Water Management Board on April 18, 2022, issued its finding and determination that imposed the additional $100,000 fine, which the appeals court ultimately found not supported by the town code.

Alerts lifted as favourable weather helps B.C. wildfire fight
Rain in northern British Columbia and cooler weather in the south have brought some relief for residents living near wildfires. The remaining evacuation alerts related to the Pocket Knife Creek wildfire, northwest of Fort. St. John, were rescinded Monday, although the Peace River Regional District said new orders or alerts may be issued if the situation changes. The B.C. Wildfire Service said crews were still on the scene in Squamish to extinguish hot spots from the Dryden Creek fire, about 60 kilometres north of Vancouver, which was declared to be under control on Saturday. The progress in the firefight means evacuation alerts for most homes closest to the blaze have been lifted, while Mayor Armand Hurford said evacuation orders have been issued for two properties due to possible slope instability. "Wildfire crews have been sharing stories of big trees that are usually quite resilient to wildfire, but because of the rocky terrain they're only hanging on by their roots and the roots are being burnt out," Hurford said Monday. "Trees that would normally survive are falling, and the trees themselves and the debris that they've disturbed roll downhill towards the affected properties." Hurford said the B.C. Wildfire Service is now the lead on the blaze, taking over from Squamish Fire Rescue. Squamish Fire Rescue Chief Aaron Foote said the city has an "extremely busy fire department" even without a wildfire. "The calls don't stop outside of the wildfire, so our crews are busy running around all day and night," he said. Foote said more favourable conditions are forecast for this week, with lower temperatures and rain expected on Wednesday. He said there are about 57 wildfire fighters on the blaze, with four tree fallers and three helicopters that continue to bucket areas that are not accessible by those on the ground. B.C. Parks said Alice Lake Provincial Park will reopen on Tuesday after the wildfire forced the closure because the access road into the park was threatened. Kiskatinaw River fire remains out of control In northeastern B.C., the wildfire service said flames are no longer visible from the Kiskatinaw River fire after it was doused with more than 20 millimetres of rainfall over the weekend. But B.C. Wildfire Service fire behaviour analyst Neal McLoughlin said in a video posted Sunday that it "doesn't mean the fire isn't active underground," so crews remain on scene. The blaze — located southeast of Dawson Creek — is still rated as out of control, and is one of three wildfires of note in B.C. Wildfires of note are defined as fires that are highly visible or that pose a potential threat to public safety. "When we receive this amount of rain on a fire, it's going to take several days of hot, dry conditions before our fuel moisture conditions recover and allow the fire to become active on the surface again," McLoughlin said in the video. "So, this change in weather has really given us the upper hand for the next week to get ahead of fire suppression activities." He said the northeast has experienced several years of drought, and while the rain improves firefighting conditions, the landscape is still receptive to fire. "Twenty millimetres of rain is wonderful, but we know there's hot spots still within the fire perimeter, and we also know that there's deep underlying drought, and so within a week of drying conditions, we could see active fire on the surface again, and for that reason, we need to maintain active fire suppression over the weeks to come and wrap this fire."
