Woman arrested after child gives away hiding spot

A Fort Pierce woman ended up in jail because of a little girl with a big mouth. Police went to the home of 22-year-old woman on Friday to serve warrants for assault, harassing phone calls and violation probation carrying a concealed weapon without a permit.  Officers said two men and a woman at the house told officers that the woman had left, but then a 4-year old child approached one of the officers and revealed that the woman was under a bed.  Officers found the woman exactly where the child said she would be.

Go to a party to cut dementia risk, study suggests

Keeping a full social calendar may help protect you from dementia, researchers said on Monday.  Socially active people who were not easily stressed had a 50 percent lower risk of developing dementia compared with men and women who were isolated and prone to distress, they reported in the journal Neurology.  "In the past, studies have shown that chronic distress can affect parts of the brain, such as the hippocampus, possibly leading to dementia," Hui-Xin Wang of the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, who led the study, said in a statement.  "But our findings suggest that having a calm and outgoing personality in combination with a socially active lifestyle may decrease the risk of developing dementia even further."

Man sues city for demolishing his fixer-upper

There are thousands of buildings that should be demolished in Detroit. Eric Roslonski says his house wasn't one of them.  Roslonski filed a lawsuit against the city Monday, more than two years after a house he was restoring suddenly was destroyed.  He said he put more than $30,000 into the property on the east side of Detroit after buying it for $7,000. One day in summer 2006, he couldn't find 13405 Flanders.  "I drove up and down the street three times - where is my house?" Roslonski said.  His lawyer, Jeffrey Dworin, said the house was taken off a demolition list, then apparently reinstated without Roslonski's knowledge.  "It happens," Dworin said.  A message seeking comment was left with the city's law department, which was closed for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday.  Roslonski is suing Detroit for his losses under a federal civil rights law. He fixed another house on the same street and sold it for $85,000.
