A Missouri man on lifetime GPS monitoring shot at four kids who knocked at his door while playing “ding-dong ditch” and chased them down in a vehicle before ordering them out of their car at gunpoint and stealing their car keys, police said.

Melvin Rankin, 40, faces charges of unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, and robbery. A probable cause statement spells out the allegations from Sunday in Springfield, Missouri.

A mother in Oklahoma is accused of drunkenly trying to leave her infant children at a 7-Eleven gas station so she could drive somewhere to have sex.

Amber Adams was taken into custody earlier this year and charged with two counts of felony child neglect, court records reviewed by Law&Crime show.

A witness at the Oklahoma City 7-Eleven on June 6, 2024, called 911 and reported seeing Adams, who appeared to be very intoxicated, pull into the station and stop at one of the gas pumps, according to a report from Oklahoma City CBS affiliate KWTV.

The caller reportedly told the 911 dispatcher that Adams got out of the car and opened the passenger door. She then reached in and “grabbed a baby” by the arm as if the child “was a rag doll.” Adams then reportedly “tossed the baby to the ground.”
