‘Aunt, I hit someone!': Reports detail crash that killed Bakersfield boy, 8
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — Almost every day when she takes her lunch break, Judith Deval drives from her job at California Safety Training Corporation to Beale Park. As she headed there on the afternoon of Oct. 16, she came to a complete stop at the intersection of Bank Street and Holtby Road. Roosevelt Elementary School had let out; students and parents were walking in the area. Deval stayed put until families cleared the intersection, then proceeded forward. That's when the child 'came out of nowhere,' Deval told police. She didn't see the boy until he was in front of her car — then she felt a 'bump,' according to her statement to police contained in recently released court documents. She stopped and got out, but accidentally put her Toyota Camry in reverse instead of park. It backed over the boy. The child, Ricardo Aguilar, 8, died from his injuries the next day. Deval's attorney, Kyle J. Humphrey, calls what happened a 'tragic, terrible accident.' Prosecutors call it a crime. Other defendants arraigned in Potomac Park homicide Deval, 40, was charged this month with vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence after an investigation determined she was holding her cellphone while driving — a practice that has been illegal in California since 2008. She has pleaded not guilty, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled in May. An officer at the crash scene asked Deval if she'd been on her phone. She said no, according to the reports. A witness, however, said he saw the Toyota stopped at the intersection, the driver's side window rolled halfway down. He said Deval had a cellphone pressed to her left ear. Questioned further on whether she had used her phone, Deval again said no, but couldn't remember if she'd been holding it. Later during the questioning, she said she remembered returning a call from her aunt, according to the documents. But she couldn't recall if she held the phone or was using Bluetooth, the reports say. An analysis of the phone revealed it had been in handheld mode, the reports say. Police contacted the aunt. She confirmed she was on the phone with Deval when the crash occurred. She said the call didn't last long. Deval told her she was on speakerphone, the aunt said. They were talking about a personal matter when Deval yelled, 'Aunt, I hit someone!' the aunt told police. She said she thought Deval meant she hit a vehicle. The call then disconnected.

A house party with over 100 teens is busted. A principal and teacher are being charged.
Two Florida-based school officials are under fire after being arrested when local officers busted a massive underage alcohol-fueled house party this month. Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, principal of Roosevelt Elementary School, was charged with "holding an open house party," contributing to the delinquency of a minor and child neglect in connection to the incident, according to the Cocoa Beach Police Department. Karly Anderson, a teacher at the same school, was intoxicated at the scene, police said. The two officials have since bonded out of jail. The arrest stems from a party discovered at Hill-Brodigan's home on Jan. 19. Police received multiple reports related to juveniles consuming alcohol, noise, obscenities being shouted, and more, according to Florida Today, part of the USA TODAY Network. Officers found "over 100 juveniles ... in matching t-shirts, many who were consuming alcohol that was later learned to be available in coolers at the residence," police said. News: 'Unclothed' California man taken into custody in Oregon for felony arrest warrant: Police When authorities initially responded at about 8:45 p.m., they called Hill-Brodigan to advise her that there was a house party involving juveniles drinking and using marijuana at her residence, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Florida Today. She told them that she was down the street and that she would handle the problem and stop the music by 10 p.m. But police were called back less than 10 minutes after they spoke to Hill-Brodigan as the party continued. A juvenile leaving the party told officers during a traffic stop that someone was showing off a gun at the home, though no weapons were found on the premises, police said. Hill-Brodigan approached an officer as they drove by and told him she was shutting the party down. Officers responded to an unfounded report of gunshots and "satanic activity" at a nearby skatepark, then returned to Hill-Brodigan's home. At this point, the party had mostly broken up. At about 11:40 p.m., while one officer carried out a traffic stop nearby involving two intoxicated juveniles dressed in "white lie" attire − a trend in which T-shirts feature white lies − and arrested the driver on suspicion of driving under the influence, another officer found a boy vomiting and shaking in Hill-Brodigan's front yard. Cocoa Beach Fire Rescue and Brevard County Fire Rescue were called to provide medical attention for the boy. At first, Hill-Brodigan watched from the top of her driveway, according to the affidavit. Then she walked inside and turned off all the lights in the front of the house. While the boy who had been vomiting was held in the back of a patrol vehicle, Anderson, a third grade teacher, approached the officers. She yelled at fire rescue authorities, saying she was upset that the boy was being put "in a machine" and that she had been hanging out at the party, police said. Officers reported that she exhibited slow, slurred speech, that she smelled of alcohol, and that her mood switched between angry and calm repeatedly throughout the short conversation. On Jan. 20, officers spoke with Anderson on the phone, at which point she told them she had not participated in the party at Hill-Brodigan's home. She said that her friend, referring to Hill-Brodigan, had invited her out for a drink and that Hill-Brodigan had consumed only one drink, according to the arrest affidavit. She added that her children were not at the party and that she doesn't take part in underage "ragers." She declined to provide a sworn statement. On the same day, police spoke to Hill-Brodigan on the phone. She initially agreed to provide a sworn statement but later changed her mind. Detectives interviewed juveniles and parents during their investigation. Police said students confirmed that more than 100 students had been at the house and said parties like this happen once or twice a month, adding that they knew Hill-Brodigan was principal of Roosevelt Elementary, Florida Today reported. Students told police that some of them arrived at the house as early as 7:45 p.m. and that Hill-Brodigan requested they help prepare for the party, with alcohol available inside the home in multiple red and white coolers, according to the affidavit. Marijuana was used at the party, students said, and a video recorded by a student showed a male juvenile with a mask on taking videos with a firearm − described by students as a Beretta − and pointing it at the person recording. Students also told police multiple fights broke out at the party. Students said Hill-Brodigan did not attempt to stop the party and that she seemed "okay with what was happening," according to the affidavit. She told her son to stop the party, but he ignored her, according to students. No additional information about her son, such as his age or name, was provided. Both adults were reportedly placed on administrative leave. As of Tuesday morning, Hill-Brodigan's bio on the school's website led to an error page. Brevard Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Rendell addressed the matter in a letter to the community, Spectrum News reported. 'We hold our leaders to the highest of standards, and if these allegations are true, it's a complete failure in leadership and violation of our trust," Rendell said in a statement. "The district is cooperating fully with police as they investigate this matter and will strive to provide families with full transparency.'

Florida elementary school principal is arrested after 100 kids found at her home for alcohol-fueled party: cops
An elementary school principal in Florida was arrested after 100 children were found at an alcohol-infused party she hosted, police said. Elizabeth Hill-Brodigan, the 47-year-old principal of Roosevelt Elementary School in Cocoa Beach, was arrested on January 19 after police were called for a reported house party. When offices arrived, they found more than 100 kids dressed in 'matching t-shirts.' Many of them were consuming alcohol that was available in coolers inside the house. One child was suffering from an 'alcohol-related medical event' on the principal's lawn. The kid was 'so heavily intoxicated' that the Brevard County Fire Rescue was called to treat the child, police said. Officers saw Hill-Brodigan in her driveway turning off the outside lights before walking into her home. That meant the fire rescue team had to use their vehicle's auxiliary lights while treating the child with the medical episode, police said. Another child was arrested for DUI near the principal's home, authorities said. An 'intoxicated' Roosevelt Elementary teacher — Karly Anderson — approached the officers at the scene, telling them she was a teacher and had been at the party, police said. Both Hill-Brodigan and Anderson were arrested. They each face one felony charge of child neglect and one misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Hill-Brodgian also faces one misdemeanor count of holding an open house party. Brevard Public Schools told WESH in a statement that both women had been placed on administrative leave. 'Both employees have been immediately placed on administrative leave pending the results of an active police investigation,' the school district said. 'We are extremely troubled by these accusations and are fully cooperating with the Cocoa Beach Police Department. Our commitment to student safety remains our top priority.' According to her bio on the elementary school's website, Hill-Brodigan was once awarded 'Teacher of the Year.' 'I have had the pleasure to serve the students and parents of Brevard County for the last 23 years. Students, families, and staff are very close to my heart, I really enjoy what I do,' her bio states.
