UNION SPRINGS, Ala. (AP) — A missing Alabama woman found alive after surviving for weeks in the woods is lucky to have survived and is back home with her family recovering, police said Wednesday. Lisa Theris, 25, of Louisville was covered in scrapes and bug bites and dropped as much as 50 pounds to her current of 110 pounds during the ordeal, said Sgt. Chad Faulkner of the Bullock County Sheriff ’s Office. “She was in really, really bad shape,” Faulkner said. Sheriff Raymond Rodgers  tells WSFA-TV  that Theris was lost in the woods of southeast Alabama for almost one month.

U.S. Lawmakers Seek Kushner Company Records on Maryland Apartments

Image
Morningside Park, a Kushner Companies- owned housing complex , in Middle River, Maryland (Philip Montgomery for The New York Times) Maryland’s two U.S. senators and four of its U.S. House representatives , all Democrats, sent a letter today to the large real- estate company owned by the family of Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump ’s son-in-law and senior adviser, demanding information about the company’s management of 17 apartment complexes it owns in the state. The letter to Kushner Companies came in response to a May 23 article co-published by ProPublica and The New York Times Magazine investigating management practices at the rental complexes, most of which are in the suburbs of Baltimore, as well as an article this week in The Baltimore Sun that revealed additional details . The original story described the highly aggressive legal tactics that Kushner Companies has used to pursue tenants who owed back rent or had left their leases early — even tenants who left the complexes...

Thief River Falls man who caused police standoff sentenced to 60 days in jail

Michael Roy Nelson, 46, was convicted of a misdemeanor assault charge and received a stay of adjudication for a felony terroristic threat charge stemming from an April 10, 2016, incident in which he attacked his son and father. He was sentenced Monday , Aug. 21, by Pennington County District Court Judge Kurt Maben . Nelson was initially charged with two counts of attempted arson, a felony, but those charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement. A stay of adjudication is not a conviction, but means the case is pending while Nelson is on probation. The charge will be dismissed if he makes it through a five- year probation period . Nelson will be allowed to serve his 90-day sentences in two 45-day periods, court records show , and can spend 30 days of the sentence on house arrest. Witnesses told police Nelson used a match to light an ether can and spray flames at his son, which lit his son's sweatshirt on fire. The dispute allegedly arose from a disagreement over family member...

John Hartness Brown complex on Euclid Avenue sells after years of litigation, vacancy (photos)

CLEVELAND, Ohio - One of downtown Cleveland 's worst eyesores finally changed hands Monday , after years of court fights and false redevelopment starts . Alto Partners bought the long- vacant John Hartness Brown complex on Euclid Avenue for $9.1 million, in a deal that sprang from a messy foreclosure fight . The developer, a relative newcomer to the Cleveland real estate market , expects to fill the buildings with apartments, a hotel, retail and parking. Construction could start during the first few months of 2018. Stretching from 1001-1101 Euclid Ave., the John Hartness Brown complex spans three addresses and five facades on north side of the street. Thanks to troubled ownership, financial hurdles and lingering fallout from the Great Recession, the property has languished despite the surge in downtown living and the trend of turning historic buildings into housing and hotels. Alto will be the third developer in a decade to attempt a revival of the block. A rendering shows what ...

War hero claims Navy abandoned him, others cry murder

He’s been on the job only about a week but Richard V. Spencer, the new Secretary of the Navy, faces the tough job of determining the fate of an American war hero . Navy Lt. Craig R. Becker stands accused of pushing his drugged and sleeping wife out the seventh-floor window of their Belgian apartment building in late 2015, dashing out her life on the pavement of Mons, a sleepy city in the French-speaking portion of the northern European nation . Becker maintains his innocence, saying the death was a suicide. He accuses the Navy’s Sixth Fleet of abandoning him to Belgian authorities . Becker, once stationed in San Diego and still linked to Naval Special Warfare in Coronado, wants his prosecution transferred to the American military ’s court system — a right almost always afforded in such cases. Adm. Michelle Howard, commander of Naval Forces in Europe and Africa, has not taken jurisdiction, expressing concerns to lawmakers about Navy investigators not being able to use the evidence c...
