1 dead after trench rescue at Baltimore County construction site

One person is dead after Baltimore County Fire crews were called for a trench rescue Tuesday morning at a construction site, officials said. Crews responded to the 9800 block of Lyons Mills Road in Owings Mills around 9:30 a.m. Once on the scene, officials found a person critically injured. While fire officials referred to the call as a "trench accident," the exact nature of the incident is currently unclear. A similar trench incident in Catonsville left two construction workers dead in February. The workers were trapped for nearly seven hours after a brick wall fell onto them as they were reinforcing it. They became trapped in a six-foot trench while in critical condition. Fire crews worked to support the trench to prevent the dirt from caving in before they were able to get the workers out. "It's a calculated method and it does take time, but they want to make sure that they are doing so in the safest measures," Baltimore County Fire Lt. Twana Allen said at the time. Following the seven-hour rescue effort, 24-year-old Emerson Amestica and 32-year-old Wilmer Barzallo were both pronounced dead. In October 2024, a similar rescue was carried out after a man fell 30 feet into a well in Catonsville. The man was rescued after nearly 24 hours in the confined space. Officials said he was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

University of Arkansas at Fayetteville increases from 750 to 1,000 positions. University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff increases from 150 to 200 positions. The law also increases the number of vehicles that several schools are allowed to have. Arkansas fire-related deaths surpass 2024 total Act 567 will amend the annual cap for laboratory services within Arkansas' Medicaid program. The law says that if the service is not radiology services, the annual cap is either $500 or $1,800 if the person is diagnosed with chronic pain or being treated for managing pain. The state's Department of Human Services has until Jan. 1, 2026, to finalize rules on the new law. Act 672 will increase the fee for copies of either vehicle accident reports and traffic violation records for someone who wasn't involved with the incident. The law says the fee will jump from $10 to $25, and there will be a charge of $1.50 for each copy of a supplemental report.

A portion of the funds from those fees will go to the State Police Retirement System, according to the law.

Franklin County man arrested for attempted murder following stabbing

OZARK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — A Franklin County man was arrested June 11 after stabbing a man and claiming self-defense. According to court documents, Preston Teague, 33, is facing charges of first-degree attempted murder, first-degree battery and criminal trespass. According to an affidavit, deputies with the Franklin County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to the Mercy Hospital Emergency Room in Ozark about a stabbing. The victim was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Fort Smith for surgery because his injuries were too severe for him to be life-flighted to a larger hospital. OSBI investigates LeFlore County shooting that left one dead, one injured The sheriff's office received a 911 call from Teague's mother one minute before the previous call. She said Teague was on his way back home from Ozark, and that he was in an altercation with someone and had stabbed them. She told police the incident happened on Twisted Oak Lane near Ozark. Teague was arrested at his home in Fort Smith and taken to Bloomer, so Franklin County deputies could take him to the Franklin County jail for questioning. Fort Smith police told Franklin County deputies that Teague admitted to them that he had stabbed the alleged victim with a knife. The affidavit said Teague's right hand was bandaged and his outer clothing was covered in apparent dried blood. The affidavit says Teagues told Franklin County deputies on the way to the jail that he believed that his girlfriend was cheating on him with the alleged victim. He told police that he used Snapchat to find out that the alleged victim lived on Tisted Oak Lane and went there. He told police that he was shining a flashlight and calling out to the alleged victim. According to the affidavit, Teague said at some point, the alleged victim came out to confront Teague and rammed Teague's vehicle with a truck. He also said that he did stab the alleged victim, but that it was in self-defense. At the jail, Teague unwrapped the bandage on his hand to reveal a deep laceration. Teague was taken to the emergency room with a deputy present before he was taken to jail, where he has remained since June 11. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
