According to the court paperwork, Ian’s girlfriend had told the police that they returned home with a male friend Ian allegedly “went crazy”. The male friend had just came home from the Skyline Park on Saturday, July 5th.

At the park, earlier that evening, a park ranger had gave all three of the victims a citation for consuming alcohol.

Things Go Downhill After Ian Gets Home

The male victim that was inside of the home said that Ian was so upset about the citation when they arrived to the house (around 2:40) that he immediately got into an altercation with his girlfriend. That is when Ian then hit her and her two dogs.

The female victim in the case said that her boyfriend had threw one of the dogs against the wall and then started to kick the other one.

When the police officials arrived, the suspect had told the police that a Hispanic male that was wearing blue jeans and a black t-shirt had pounded on the front door while holding a gun in his hand and that the man then fled on foot.

Police questioned both of the victims separately. They told the officials that once Ian had grabbed the handgun he stared at both of the victims for about thirty seconds before he placed the gun onto the floor. The female victim was then able to hide the gun in her bedroom.

Phoenix Man Attempts to Grab Teen Girl

A man from Phoenix was sentenced to five years in prison and lifetime probation today. Last year he was accused of trying to grab a fourteen year old girl as well as following her with a baseball bat.

In May, Thirty-Eight year old, Tommy Andrade pleaded guilty to the charges of luring a minor for sexual exploitation as well as an attempt to commit aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.

Man Tries to Attack a Young Girl

Back in October, 2013 the fourteen year old girl had told the authorities that she had seen Tommy Andrade on a park bench and also had a baseball bat with him. She told the police that the man had made an attempt to grab her by her hand. She pulled away and he started to chase her with the baseball bat. She was afraid that the man had wanted to hit her.

The record shows that the fourteen year old girl had flagged down a driver that luckily let her get into their car and she was able to escape.

Tommy Andrade has had a few run in’s with the police, he had been convicted of some previous felonies. Judge Robert Miles of the Maricopa County Superior Court, stressed that Mr. Andrade should remain under supervision after his release due to the fact that one of the charges was repetitive.

Judge Miles stated that due to the prior convictions, combined with the emotional harm and threat of physical injury to the victim, earned him a lifetime of probation as well as him having to file as a register as a sex offender.

Mother Leaves Child Alone for 20 Hours

Child Abuse Cases in Phoenix

Mother Neglects Child by Leaving Him Alone for 20 Hours

Most parents are over the moon when they know they are having a child, once the child is here they do everything in the power to protect that baby. However, one thoughtless mother lost an innocent child when she decided to neglect and leave him alone for twenty hours.

The toddler was three year old, Austin Davis. He died alone when his mother left him alone for twenty hours. His mother, Megan McKeon had left on a Wednesday to go to work at a grocery store. She however, did not come straight home after work though. By the time Megan got home she found Austin lying on his back with his little eyes open. The little boy was showing no signs of life. Megan was arrested and charged with child abuse resulting in death which happens to be a felony.

The tragic part is that this whole situation could have been avoided. Megan is pretty much living like a single mother since Austin’s father is in jail for failing to register as a sex offender. She does have to go to work to provide for them, and she can not afford childcare.

Megan has no excuse as to why she left the toddler by himself. Megan’s mother said that she would have more than happy to watch Austin so that Megan could go to work.

Charity O’Konski (Megan’s Mother) Isn’t Taking Megan’s Side

All she had to do was call me. There’s no ifs, ands, or buts to what happened, it’s her fault no matter what happened. She is accountable for that baby.

Apparently this wasn’t the first time Megan had done this, she had done this “something like 20” other times. She didn’t just leave her son alone for work but after she got off work she spent the night with her boyfriend at his home. She did leave him with food, juice, and a movie. She figured everything would be fine since she had gotten away with this a few other times, but this time they weren’t quite as lucky and her poor innocent son was the one to pay for it.

The doctor that tried to revive Austin thinks that he may have ingested some medication or drugs. According to the investigators, Megan’s cabin was a complete mess, there were half eaten food as well as human waste all throughout the home.
