Mart man charged with holding knife to woman's throat, assaulting child
Mart, Tx (FOX 44) – A 48-year-old Mart man is charged with holding a knife to his wife's throat then assaulting her child who tried to help her.
William Clark remained in the McLennan County Jail Wednesday on multiple felony charges following the Sunday incident.
An arrest affidavit stated officers had responded to a domestic violence report on Smyth Street in Mart and found a female victim out in the front yard of the residence. She told officers she was very afraid and that her husband was still in the house. The affidavit stated he came out when police called for him but denied there had been any trouble.
The victim's son spoke up and said the man had ' flipped' again. The affidavit stated officers saw apparent bruising and swelling to the victim's nose, lip, and throat. The affidavit stated the suspect had made accusations about her, then grabbed her around the throat. She told officers she fought back because she could not breathe and was in fear for her life. She told officers as she fought back, the suspect grabbed a knife and held it to her throat and made her believe he was going to kill her. The affidavit stated that in an attempt to defend herself, she grabbed the blade of the knife resulting in deep cuts to her fingers. The affidavit stated that when she grabbed the knife her son tried to defend her but was struck in the head with a metal Stanley style cup, resulting in a tennis ball sized knot on his head. He was also punched in the face.

The affidavit stated that when the suspect realized police had been called the assault stopped with the victim being able to get out of the house.
Police arrested Clark and transported him to the McLennan County Jail where he remained Wednesday on charges of aggravated assault with bodily injury of a family member and injury to a child, both first-degree felonies.

Documents detail hit-and-run crash that killed Las Vegas man
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – An arrest report obtained by 8 News Now details what led up to a hit-and-run crash that killed a 33-year-old man in the northwest valley. Officers took 63-year-old Karen Cannon into custody Wednesday in connection with the case. She was released on a $150,000 bail a day later. Loved ones remember man killed in west Las Vegas valley hit-and-run crash 33-year-old Patrick Deloriea died on May 13 when a Tesla hit him and left the scene at the intersection of Vegas Drive and Rainbow Boulevard, according to police. 'He's going to be missed you know?' Deloriea's friend Robert Drysdale told 8 News Now after he died. 'I think everyone is pretty upset over this loss.' Police determined a Tesla Model Y registered to Cannon hit Deloriea going 66 miles per hour, causing him to fly approximately 155 feet into the air. Surveillance footage from a nearby gas station and debris at the scene helped detectives determine the car involved, according to documents. Cannon reportedly took the car to two different repair shops and paid cash, refusing to file an insurance claim, according to police. Documents said she claimed she hit an animal and something resembling a coyote, and claimed she didn't see anything in the road after the collision, though she felt a 'hard blow' to her car and felt it shake upon impact. A week after the crash, Cannon called her insurance company and said she did not know what she hit and wasn't sure what to do and things weren't 'as simple as she thought,' according to the arrest report. Once officers seized the car they weren't able to find any videos from 2025 saved in its software and a camera was removed from its front fender. Cannon now faces one count of reckless driving resulting in death, failure to stop at the scene of a crash, and destroying and concealing evidence. She was released with electronic monitoring and an order not to drive a vehicle. Cannon is due back in court on Tuesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Long Grove bridge hit by moving truck, allegedly for the 67th time
LONG GROVE, Ill. (WGN) — Water is wet. The sky is blue. Someone hit the Long Grove Covered Bridge again. A WGN TV News viewer sent a small treasure trove of photos detailing the latest vehicle that was too tall to pass over Buffalo Creek. The viewer told WGN TV News this is allegedly the 67th time the bridge has been struck by a vehicle. Built 1906, it was initially named after Buffalo Creek, and didn't feature a wooden roof over the top of it. The wooden cover was added in 1972. The bridge, which measures 8-feet-6-inches tall, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in June 2018, and was promptly plowed through two weeks later. Cover Story: The infamous Long Grove Covered Bridge It was restored, but 23 hours after the official reopening in August 2020, another driver in a chartered school bus not only hit it, but got stuck. The good news is, it wasn't completely obliterated like it was in 2018. With how frequent the bridge has been struck over the years, one would think there's a lack of signage around the well-battered crossing, but that's not the case. Signs are posted on, before and after crossing the bridge on Robert Parker Coffin Road, and they have done little to stop vehicles from leaving various dings and dents over the years, fines for which start at $700.
