Pensacola woman accused of using stolen identity to buy Chevrolet Silverado, deputies say
ESCAMBIA COUNTY, Fla. (WKRG) — A Pensacola woman is accused of using another person's identity to buy a Chevrolet Silverado at an automobile dealership in Escambia County, Florida. Teen arrested in Fairhope shooting Brandi Michelle Neal, 51, is in the Escambia County Jail on several fraud charges and grand theft of a motor vehicle, has learned. She is being held without bond, jail records show. 'She would steal another's identity and try to buy that truck in that innocent person's name without their knowledge,' an Escambia County Sheriff's Office Facebook post said. 'She entered a local dealership and, using the name that's not her own, purchased a bright red Chevrolet Silverado.' According to the ECSO post, after Neal took possession of the truck, an acquaintance of hers later had it. The next day, a private landowner requested that the abandoned truck be towed off the property. 'Ultimately, the truck was reported stolen by fraud and returned to the dealership,' ECSO's post said. Neal then learned that her truck had been recovered and contacted deputies about having it returned to her, still under her false identity, according to ECSO. Deputies ultimately did not return the vehicle to her, and she was taken into custody under the name Brandi Michelle Neal, as stated by the sheriff's office. The sheriff's office stated that she also goes by the name Chyna White (Chyna Whyt) on Facebook.

Sick dog owner allegedly cooked Chihuahua in his oven because it wouldn't stop barking
An Alabama dog owner allegedly cooked his pet Chihuahua in his oven because it wouldn't stop barking — with the distressed cop who arrived to find it a Chihuahua owner himself. James Williamson, 44, of Atmore, close to the Florida border, got into an argument with a relative and threatened to put the helpless puppy in the oven if it didn't stop barking, officials told FOX 10. He then allegedly snatched up the dog, threw it in his hot oven — then wedged a chair against the door to stop it escaping, the report said. Advertisement 3 James Williamson, 44, is accused of killing his Chihuahua in an oven after it wouldn't stop barking. Escambia County Sheriff's Office Neighbors called police because of the harrowing yelping from the dying dog, according to Sergeant Darrell McMann — who arrived to find the puppy's charred remains laid out on the driveway. 'I have a Chihuahua myself,' the cops said. Advertisement 'When I got there, I was just at a loss for words, I really was. I just stood there and looked at the dog for a little bit and had to get myself together,' he said. 3 Arresting officer Sergeant Darrell McMann discovered the charred remains on the driveway. WALA Williamson is charged with aggravated animal cruelty, a Class C felony, and is being held on a $15,000 bond. If let out, he won't be allowed to have animals anymore. Currently, aggravated animal cruelty is treated as a lower-tier felony in Alabama. Advertisement 3 Williamson allegedly placed a chair against the oven door so the chihuahua couldn't escape. Elles Rijsdijk – That means Williamson could avoid any significant prison sentence, depending on prior history and the judgment of the court. 'I think in cases like this, they should be strengthened,' Sergeant McMann said. 'Because I don't think being a class C felony fits what he did. That pretty much describes what he did: horrible and inhumane,' he said.
