A second employee of All-Most Home Child Development Center has been arrested by Richmond police, this time in connection with several thefts from the business.
Showna Angel, 28, of Irvine, was arrested Friday and charged with third-degree burglary and theft by unlawful taking, more than $300, after police investigated several thefts of cash from the business.
According to Richmond Police Department spokesman Sgt. Willard Reardon, Angel allegedly used a key to enter the business after hours and take money.
She was arrested following an interview at the Richmond Police Department on Friday, Reardon said, and was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center.
Another employee at the E. Irvine Street business, 23-year-old Tierra McDaniels of Richmond, was arrested May 26 for allegedly biting a 5-year-old child who had bitten her.
The child’s father noticed the bite mark when picking the child up at the center around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday and called television station WLEX and Richmond police.
McDaniels was charged with first-degree criminal abuse in that case.
Fleeing, evading arrest
An Evansdale Avenue man was arrested early Saturday morning after fleeing police by car and on foot.
Reardon said Nahshon I. Mullins, 26, was arrested shortly after 2:30 a.m. following a pursuit.
Mullins was seen driving at a high rate of speed on Turpin Drive, and while pursuing Mullins to make a traffic stop, an officer saw the car run four stop signs between Turpin Drive and the intersection of E. Irvine Street and N. Madison Avenue, Reardon said.
The vehicle also was swerving wildly, Reardon said, and when the officer attempted to make a traffic stop, Mullins fled down Irvine Street.
Mullins stopped the car at Smith Village and then fled on foot, while the vehicle rolled into a brush pile and stopped, Reardon said.
Officers located Mullins in an apartment in Smith Village and took him into custody without incident, Reardon said.
Mullins was charged with first- and second-degree fleeing or evading police, first-degree wanton endangerment, driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license. He was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center.
Other crimes

The resident told police that between 3:45 and 7:30 a.m., an 52-inch Toshiba plasma television, a Toshiba Satellite laptop computer and an Ibanez acoustic guitar were taken from the residence while his two roommates slept.
Reardon said there were no signs of forced entry and the apartment may not have been locked at the time of the theft.

On Thursday, police arrested Levi C. Ross, 21, and Ian D. Felts, 20, both of Ravenna, and charged them with misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking for allegedly taking $69 in merchandise.

Two separate arrests were made Saturday. In one arrest, Derrick W. Neal, 18, of Irvine, was charged with misdemeanor theft for allegedly taking $30 in merchandise. Police also arrested Amanda J. Burns, 26, of Waco, on misdemeanor theft by unlawful taking for allegedly taking $78 in merchandise.
In all the arrests, Walmart employees detained the accused before police arrived.

Bible Belt towns in state consider going ‘wet’
In this Appalachian college town where socially conservative views are bedrocks of life, some people want to do what was once unthinkable: legalize liquor sales.
Supporters say passing the measure in Tuesday’s special election in Barbourville would tap a new revenue source in a place where hundreds of jobs are evaporating as one plant shuts down and another cuts its workforce in half. But from the pulpits to the courthouse square, opponents have been pressing their case that uncorking liquor sales would irreparably harm the town of about 3,200. - More Local News Headlines
