    Calvinitri White was falsely arrested for child neglect after police said she lived in a roach-infested apartment with her three children but charges were dismissed after she proved she had been trying for months to get the landlord to address the issue.

        The hed itself is a shitshow that should have been taken out back and shot.

        After Black woman urged landlord for pest control, roaches lead to her arrest from unrelated 911 call

        Not sure what I’d do with a 1-44-4 in this case

          Nah, I’ve still got it:

          Ignored
          requests
          lead to
          arrest
          

          The dek can carry the context.

      Yeah. A lot of news now has these weird LLM-type clickbait text constructions that are really off putting to me.
