Body of pregnant woman tragically discovered in plastic storage bin
Two men in Ohio have been arrested after police found a pregnant woman's body stuffed inside a plastic tote on the side of the road. Jackson Township police said they received a call just before 8pm on August 3 that a bad smell was emanating from a cooler along Fort Anthony Road, the Dayton Daily News reports. 'I didn't want to open it,' one 911 caller said, according to WHIO. 'The smell was so bad, you know, I mean there's a difference between dead smells and this is not a normal dead smell.' When officers then arrived at the scene, they found a plastic tote stuffed behind a dirt hill with the lid screwed on. Inside was the body of 28-year-old Brittany Fuhr-Storms, wrapped in a towel and a tarp. An ensuing autopsy then determined that Fuhr-Storms had been pregnant, and the unborn child did not survive. After searching the victim's last known address, police were led to an apartment in Middletown, where it is believed Fuhr-Storms visited two men and later died. There, authorities found a suspected blood stain on the carpet, a blue tarp, wooden screws and a set of towels that matched the description of the ones found with Fuhr-Storms' body. The lessee, James R Rothenbusch, 52, was then detained at the scene as police collected drug paraphernalia from his residence. Upon questioning, police say Rothenbusch admitted to drug trafficking and said Fuhr-Storms died at his home under 'suspicious circumstances.' He also told police was left in the shower for around four days before it was disposed of. A second suspect, Ricky J. Sheppard, 47, was also found nearby and allegedly tried to run as police approached him. 'Sheppard attempted to flee but was quickly apprehended and detained,' deputies said, according to Fox 19. 'He later stated that the deceased died from an alleged overdose and she remained in the house for approximately a week before being removed.' Both of the suspects said they knew the 28 year old was pregnant at the time of her death, deputies noted. Rothenbusch is now facing felony charges of corrupting another with drugs specific to a pregnant woman, tampering with evidence, gross abuse of a corpse, trafficking in drugs and possession of drugs. He is also facing misdemeanor charges of failure to report a crime or death and possession of drug paraphernalia. Sheppard, meanwhile, is charged with gross abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Chief of Staff Jeremy Roy praised local law enforcement for coming together to nab the suspects. 'Everybody dropped everything as they should when you find out that a mother-to-be was just dumped on the side of the road,' he said. 'You don't always get that cooperation all the time around the US and in Ohio, but in this case you kind of have to tip your hat.' Yet questions about Fuhr-Storms' death remains, as police say tests are still pending from the coroner's office even as her family raises money for her funeral. Many neighbors are now left shocked and confused. 'I had no clue,' Cody Lewis told Fox 19. 'I had no clue something like that was happening right next door. 'It was surprising.'

AI-Powered Garbage Trucks To Scold Residents For Improper Recycling In US City
A city in the US state of Ohio has deployed artificial intelligence-powered (AI) garbage trucks that scan the trash thrown away by the residents to ensure they aren't tossing food waste and batteries into the wrong bins. The Public Works Department in the city of Centerville rolled out the fleet of garbage trucks earlier this week, hoping to make the recycling process easier. After scanning the garbage, the improperly recycled trash items will be sent back to residents in a personal-sized postcard, telling them what they should leave out of their recycling cans next time around -- whether it be plastic bags, styrofoam, or used paper towels. "Reducing contamination in our recycling system lowers processing costs and improves the overall efficiency of our collection," said City Manager Wayne Davis, according to a report in the Dayton Daily News. "This technology allows us to target problem areas, educate residents, and make better use of city resources." The City of Centerville's website claims it serves approximately 6,500 customers, collecting roughly 8,000 tons of waste and 1,400 tons of recyclables every year. The Rs 64 lakh ($74,945) project is being funded through a Montgomery County Solid Waste District grant. 'A couple of the trucks have been collecting baseline recycling data, and we have been working through software training for a few weeks now,' said Centerville spokeswoman Kate Bostdorff. The project will be evaluated to see how well the AI system works during the pilot project to 'guide future programme enhancements". Social media reacts Reacting to the news of AI garbage trucks, social media users were mostly concerned about whether the exercise would be efficient in the long term for the environment. "When will we get the AI that scolds billionaires when they use private jets and mega yachts for fun," said one user, while another added: "Can we get "ai" to continually scold the 100 companies that cause 80% of global warming and pollution? Particularly the ones who invented greenwashing schemes like recycling?" A third commented: "Then they best prove they're actually recycling this stuff. My understanding is most of it ends up in a landfill anyways." A fourth said: "So they're gonna use the most ecologically disastrous technology to tell me I'm not helping the environment enough?"

AI Is Coming To Your Trash Truck To Make Sure You've Sorted the Recycling Right
The latest car news, reviews, and features. We've already reached the point where AI is everywhere. It's in our phones, in our computers—heck, it's even in our cereal. OK, maybe not, but would you be surprised? I wouldn't, especially since this report about AI-wielding trash trucks from the Dayton Daily News is real. The city of Centerville, Ohio's Public Works department rolled out a fleet of recycling rigs this week, equipped with artificial intelligence-powered sorting capabilities. These bots scan through citizens' refuse to ensure they aren't tossing food waste and batteries into the wrong bins. Never mind the other, more personal items one might throw out. 'Reducing contamination in our recycling system lowers processing costs and improves the overall efficiency of our collection,' explained City Manager Wayne Davis in a statement. 'This technology allows us to target problem areas, educate residents, and make better use of city resources.' Amusingly, the trash trucks' findings will then be sent back to residents on a personal-sized postcard. No, I'm not kidding. It will tell residents what they should leave out of their recycling cans next time around, whether it be plastic bags, Styrofoam, or used paper towels. This looks more like a report card, if you ask me. No word on whether they'll include a letter grade. Imagine getting an 'A' in reading material but a 'C' in compost. City of Centerville Public Works This raises some real privacy concerns for people who maybe don't want their trash being sorted through, especially since it's all tied to street addresses. Sure, the system is largely automated, but who's to say a passerby won't spot a picture of your bin in the mailroom and notice something you'd rather not share? The City of Centerville's website claims it serves approximately 6,500 customers, collecting roughly 8,000 tons of waste and 1,400 tons of recyclables every year. I doubt many people are hiding their deepest, darkest secrets inside these particular rolly cans, but stranger things have happened. 'A couple of the trucks have been collecting baseline recycling data, and we have been working through software training for a few weeks now,' Centerville spokesperson Kate Bostdorff said 'Residents who consistently follow guidelines will help ensure Centerville's recycling stream remains clean, efficient, and cost-effective,' the city added. I admit that this is fairly low stakes, though it contributes to the ongoing AI surveillance convo that's anything but. Where will corporations and governments draw the line? Not here, but somewhere over there, probably. Got a tip or question for the author? Contact them directly: caleb@
