According to the arrest affidavit:
Wichita Falls Police stopped a car Sunday night for a traffic violation in the 2900 block of Jacksboro Highway. The driver was identified as Ashley Allen. A records check revealed she had a warrant for her arrest for Abandoning or Endangering a Child. She was taken to jail. While she was being booked in, a detention officer found a clear plastic baggy containing methamphetamine.
According to the Endangering a Child warrant, In mind-January 2019, Child Protective Services contacted the Wichita Falls Police Department to report an incident of Endangering a Child. The CPS investigator told police Allen and her 3-year-old daughter tested positive for amphetamines and methamphetamines while Allen had custody of the child.
When Shaya Schreiber started searching for a home in Madison, Wisconsin, her options were limited.
Student loans made the single mother of two ineligible for certain affordable housing and a market-rate home was beyond her reach. Then she found the Madison Area Community Land Trust.
The trust helped her purchase a three-bedroom house on the west side of the city. The organization paid $160,000 for the home and more for necessary improvements. Then Schreiber bought it from the trust for $135,000.
“I wouldn’t have been able to afford a house otherwise,” she said.
Community land trusts are a form of social housing where a nonprofit controls the land through a long-term ground lease and sells the home to low- to moderate-income buyers at a discount. Such arrangements often limit the value of the homes on resale, to ensure permanent affordability.

MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Soon you will have to dial all ten digits of a phone number if you live in the 478 area code.
The reason behind the change is because the FCC issued an order to make 988 the new phone number for the National Suicide Hotline.
The ‘permissive dialing period’ begins on Saturday, April 24th. That means people with the 478 area code can choose to dial the area code or still use seven digits.
That permissive dialing period ends October 24.
After October 24th, you must dial the 478 area code to make a local call. We spoke with Ashley Allen, Director of Macon-Bibb County services at River Edge Behavioral Health. She says the change will help save lives.
