A Dallas based Assistant US Attorney is implicated in an amateur hotwife porn allegation by Barrett Brown.

Brown says Candina S Heath was involved as a performer in the amateur hotwife porn titled Queen of Spades Hotwife Part 2.

Brown intimates that he is bringing ethics questions into the issue because of the implications for a US Attorney who prosecutes national security cases.

Heath has been involved in both national security and corporate hacking cases in the office of the US Attorney for North Texas. Brown states in another part of his post that the video is available via Amazon.

In addition to Barrett Brown’s allegations, a Twitter account alleges she likes to record sexual interactions without the consent of those involved.

In Texas, recording of this nature would be a State Jail Felony under state criminal code. It is unclear if Dallas or other police authorities have investigated this behavior, but it would appear to be another example of the local justice community acting poorly again and again.

Neither Ms. Heath, nor the US Attorney’s Office, has responded to requests for comment.

Sudie Williams COVID19 Super Spreader?

Sudie Williams and Dallas ISD Generic Logo

Parents of Sudie Williams TAG Magnet school students were informed their child may have been exposed to COVID19 less than nine hours after re-opening for Hybrid Learning.

Dallas Independent School District (Dallas ISD) staff promised a thorough action plan to keep students safe, but in today’s notice note it is a staff member who was infected and will “no longer be on campus.”

District officials then went on to downplay the danger of infection despite it not being clear who the staff member was exposed to, how they passed health screenings, etc. Students attend the school from across Dallas ISD – so this event has the potential to spread the virus to multiple other neighborhoods.

Sudie Williams TAG

Sudie L. Williams Talented and Gifted Academy opened its doors to students in August 2018. It currently includes grades four through eight. The curriculum for the TAG magnet academy is patterned after William B. Travis Academy/Vanguard for the Academically Talented and Gifted. At the school, the teachers strive to encourage students to pursue their curiosity and creativity. District public relations work states students at Sudie Williams work individually as well as collaboratively in small groups. In addition to academics, students at Sudie Williams TAG focus on character development.

Back To School COVID19 Numbers

Today is Back to School for the almost 50% of Dallas ISD students who chose to learn in person and we are tracking Dallas ISD’s self reported COVID19 numbers.

Back To School COVID19 Numbers for DISD

Dallas ISD has had several meetings and video series on returning students to campus safely. We know COVID19 has been transmitted to newborns and Dallas was referred to as a summer Hot Zone for COVID19. Given college campus spikes in COVID19 cases it will be interesting to see how Dallas responds.

Back To School Day 1 Data

Current numbers across Dallas ISD are minimal with 42 cases being reported this morning. We plan to update these numbers at least weekly, but will also alert parents if we see a spike in the district.

Did Dallas Defund 9-1-1 Call Takers Too?

Where are the 9-1-1 call takers?

Multiple news reports said a man died early Sunday after he was shot while in his vehicle outside the Westin Galleria, Dallas police say. This comes less than a week after the Dallas City Council voted to defund Dallas Police overtime, but a social media account suggests the response was slowed due to lack of 9-1-1 call takers.

9-1-1 Call Takers Missing

Officers responded about 2:47 a.m. to the shooting call in the 13340 block of Dallas Parkway, where witnesses told police a group of males in a dark-colored sedan shot at a white Mercedes in front of the hotel.

Both the shooter’s vehicle and the victim left the area, but police found the victim near the service road with a gunshot wound.

9-1-1 Call Takers Inaction An Ongoing Problem

9-1-1 call takers are an ongoing problem in numerous big cities. Dave Statter of Statter911 has a long history of reporting issues with Washington, DC’s Operation Center.

Dallas appears to be having some of the same issues per the social media responses above including a fight in progress and uninterrupted” automatic gun fire.

Dallas Woman Kim Richardson Ordered To Federal Prison

Kim Richardson, a 63-year-old resident of Dallas has been ordered to federal prison for her role in a multi-million dollar interstate theft ring involving merchandise sold on eBay, announced U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Patrick.

Kim Richardson pleaded guilty Dec. 17, 2019.

Kim Richardson Headed To Federal Prison

Today, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen ordered her to serve a total of 54 months in federal prison to be immediately followed by three years of supervised release. She has also agreed to pay $3.8 million in restitution. In handing down the sentence, the court noted it would be virtually impossible to identify all of the victims in this long-running scheme.

Kim Richardson: The Crimes

As part of her plea, Richardson admitted she participated in a conspiracy that spanned from August 2000 through April 2019. During that time, she shoplifted items as she traveled throughout the United States. She would then sell the stolen merchandise to buyers on eBay and via direct internet sales and sent it to them via the U.S. mail, Federal Express and United Parcel Service. 

Richardson stole items from numerous retail stores. She used shoplifting tools to disable security devices and would exit the store by placing the stolen merchandise in a large black bag she carried. Richardson assisted in the sale of the items on the internet as well as packaging and mailing the stolen items. 

Buyers sent approximately $3.8 million throughout the scheme into four PayPal accounts linked to Richardson.  

Richardson was permitted to remain on bond and voluntarily surrender to a U.S. Bureau of Prisons facility to be determined in the near future.

The Secret Service and FBI conducted the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Belinda Beek prosecuted the case.

Stay On Guard

The City of Dallas is launching Stay On Guard – a public awareness campaign – designed to slow spread of COVID19 through personal testimonials from residents, community leaders and organizations. 

Stay On Guard Dallas

“We know this year has been very difficult for many of us and we’re all tired of staying at home, wearing masks, and seeing our friends and loved ones through screens; but now is not the time to let our guard down,” said Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson. “We must continue to encourage each resident to stay on guard as businesses reopen, students return to school, and families participate in fall sporting events and holiday celebrations.”  

Stay On Guard

The Stay On Guard campaign focuses on four priorities: home, work, school and health — shining a light on essential workers who live in high density, multigenerational households, those who can’t work from home or may not have the option to maintain social distance from co-workers; children and college students returning to in-person learning and the school staff who are supporting them. The campaign encourages all Dallas residents to Stay on Guard by keeping their health a priority and get a free test when in doubt of their COVID19 status.  

“Some of us are already planning holiday celebrations and visits with family and friends, but I want to remind everyone that our fight against the deadly coronavirus is far from over,” said Council Member Thomas. “As a nation we have surpassed a grim milestone of 200,000 thousand deaths due to COVID19 and here in Dallas County, we’ve lost more than 1,000 residents.” 

Stay On Guard Dallas is a bilingual campaign that engages residents to become advocates within their communities to slow the spread of COVID19. Dallas residents may creating PSAs and promote them on social media with the tags #StayOnGuard or #EnGuardiaDallas. 

Residents and business leaders can find a complete social media strategy in English and Spanish, including sample posts, downloadable logos, social media graphics and more to promote the campaign at DallasCityHall.com/StayOnGuard.  Dallas has been described as a hot zone for COVID19 this summer.

“These months will be a very critical for our City, so we ask all Dallas residents to stay safe at home, work, school and take every precaution to stay healthy as we approach cold and flu season,” said Dr. Baggett. “Get tested before you go back to school and work, wear a mask, wash your hands and avoid large crowds.” 

The Stay On Guard campaign kicks off at noon Sept. 30 with a virtual proclamation featuring Mayor Johnson, Council Member Thomas, and Dr. Baggett.  Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, City of Dallas Cable Channel and Spectrum Ch. 95.

Willis Winters Blues

Willis Winters Park

Willis Winters Park must be experiencing some winter blues after Dallas Morning News writer Sharon Grigsby described the park as a “zombie football stadium” risen again from the dead in her East Dallas neighborhood.

Grigsby described local Facebook pages exploding and indeed they are of late. One error may prove fatal to the project: blocking Avi S Adelman from commenting.

The new stadium plan would include 4000 seats, but does not address the lack of parking in the immediate area surrounding Willis Winters Park currently which is used for baseball, football, soccer, and softball.

Adelman, famous for a lawsuit against Dallas Area Rapid Transit for wrongful arrest has been active in the Dallas community for decades. Administrators of one Facebook group thought silencing him would stop his questions.

Willis Winters Park v Avi S Adelman

Adelman has been blocked from the Randall/Winters Park Improvement Project News Facebook group discussing the Willis Winters Park project immediately following the post below.

Willis Winters Park Discussion by Avi S Adelman

Avi S Adelman has been down this road before and is going directly after questions about who is funding what. As local political pages go the language is not over the top.

An important point made by both Adelman and Grigsby is the upcoming Dallas ISD Bond 2020 vote. Currently Dallas ISD has no funds programmed for a new stadium for Woodrow Wilson High School in its $3.7B bond package, bnut numerous bonds have passed and then funds were reprogrammed.

The Park Board is holding a meeting Thursday, October 1. Interested parties can sign up to speak to the board via Webex.

Traffic Advisory: Preston Road

Traffic Alert

Preston Road motorists are advised that on Thursday, October 1, 2020, between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., southbound lanes of Preston Road (SH 289) will be reduced to one lane of traffic for utility construction in the pavement. The lane reduction will be along Preston Road from Walnut Hill Lane to Joyce Way.

Preston Road Traffic Advisory Map

The road closures are required for construction work on a Dallas Water Utilities (DWU) pipe replacement project. Construction work at Joyce Way began in June 2020 and is anticipated to be complete by November 2020.

Preston Road Project

Motorists are urged to follow signage in the construction zone. During the road closures, construction crews will be connecting new underground water pipes to the existing water system. The construction will require water service to be temporarily shut-off to some customers in the area to allow crews to make the connections. Water service to impacted customers will be interrupted for about four to six hours, beginning at 10 a.m. DWU staff will go door-to-door to alert impacted customers and will also leave written notification. DWU staff will wear masks and practice social-distancing when going door-to-door.

For questions or concerns about the project, please contact Construction Superintendent, Mike Warren, at his office number (214) 670-8082 or cell number (214) 243-4292.

Colin Allred Facing Ethics Investigation?

Colin Allred

Is Colin Allred facing a House Ethics Committee investigation? Two sources say the answer to that quesiton is yes and that a complaint has been filed related to workplace behavior and harassment by the freshman Member of Congress.

Colin Allred

There has been no response to requests for comment at either his Congressional or campaign office, but one person says this is typical of Allred who says one thing and does another. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee also declined to respond or deny the allegations.

Another national campaign staffer says his office environment is “hard to work in” because of how he acts. They continue, “It’s why so many people move from his campaign to others quickly. He thinks he is still the high school jock who can skip the classwork.”

Colin Allred

Colin Allred is an alumni of Hillcrest High School. He is currently serving as the U.S. Representative from Texas’s 32nd congressional district. He defeated Rep. Pete Sessions in 2018. He has also worked as a lawyer and former professional football player.

City Budget Choices Leaves Everybody Unhappy

Budget Choices

The Dallas City Council budget choices appear to have everyone mad after a 9-6 vote which cuts $7M from the police overtime budget, but adds another $8M in year over year spending.

The council passed the new budget late Wednesday that increases overall police funding despite promises from progressive members of the council to to slash it. In the backdrop were a crowd of marchers who assembled outside City Hall to protest police violence.

Budget Choices

Budget Choices

The budget places an emphasis on ending historical inequities by injecting more money into disadvantaged southern Dallas neighborhoods. There are millions of dollars in federal coronavirus relief for programs like rental assistance filling some of those gaps, but Dallas’ own program ended up sending money to North Dallas.

Local activists did try to cut nearly forty percent from the Dallas Police Department budget – but their proposal for a $200M cut – won no votes. The $200M cut is well over the $77M cut previously rumored for Defund DPD 2.0.

City Council members also did not support Mayor Eric Johnson’s plan to defund the bureaucracy or mention the pending departure of the City’s Economic Development Director Courtney Pogue.
