A daycare center has shut down during an investigation into the death of a 3-year-old boy found unconscious in a sweltering van outside the center.
Child Protective Services spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales said Little T’s Tiny Tots daycare chose to close temporarily while state officials investigate Benjamin Price’s heatstroke death.
Erica Hooks, the daycare’s van driver, was arrested Thursday and charged with injury to a child. She’s being held on $50,000 bond in the Dallas County jail. No attorney for her is listed in jail records.
Police say Hooks drove a group of children from the daycare center to a movie July 20, but the 3-year-old didn’t leave the van upon their return.
The Dallas Morning News (http://dallasne.ws/NAlY94) reports the boy was found in the van 2 1/2 hours later.
A Hull man who is facing the death penalty in connection with the 2009 shooting death of a Liberty store clerk was given the go-ahead this week to legally represent himself.
It’s something that area attorneys say they have not seen before.
Stevie R. ”Bubba” Walder Jr. soon will be receiving legal documents related to his case from his former Conroe-based attorney, Stephen C. Taylor.
At a hearing Monday, 253rd District Judge Chap Cain allowed Walder, 33, to represent himself, and appointed Taylor as standby counsel. That means Taylor can give Walder advice if he asks for it.
He cannot, however, guide Walder or tell him during court proceedings if he thinks he’s doing a bad job.
Walder is accused of shooting 50-year-old Naushad Virani in the head after robbing his convenience store on North Main in Liberty County on Dec. 25, 2009.
Police have linked Walder to a white supremacist group, the Aryan Brotherhood, but have not said whether his connection to that group was a motive.
Judges in the past have tried to talk defendants out of passing on an attorney.
In 2008, 252nd District Court Judge Layne Walker told a man charged with felony theft who wanted to represent himself that “there is a really good likelihood you’ll get your legs blown off if you do this.”

A Stanfield woman has been convicted of transporting illegal immigrants from Mexico across the Arizona border earlier this year.
Prosecutors said Thursday that a federal jury in Phoenix found 51-year-old Renalda Bernice Ortega guilty after a two-day trial in U.S. District Court in Phoenix.
Ortega is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 9.
Evidence presented at trial showed that on Feb. 6, a U.S. Border Patrol agent spotted a vehicle that was being driven erratically in a remote area south of Stanfield.
Stanfield is about 50 miles south of Phoenix.
As the agent followed the vehicle, he saw three passengers jump out and run into the desert.
Authorities say the three people were illegal immigrants and Ortega had agreed to transport them across the border.
A dozen undocumented immigrants are in federal custody following a raid at a stash house north of Donna.
It all happened at a home off Salinas Boulevard between Mile 9 and Mile 10 Roads just outside city limits.
U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided the home late Thursday morning.
ICE spokeswoman Nina Pruneda said agents found 12 adult men from Mexico inside the home.
She added that the stash was bust is part of an ongoing investigation and could be related to other cases.
The 12 men were handed to U.S. Border Patrol agents to be processed for deportation.
Pruneda said they don’t believe smugglers were among the men in custody.
Two more people have accused a former Fort Lauderdale pastor of molesting them, according to a Broward Sheriff’s Office report.
The new charges against Jeffery London, 48, include four counts of sexual battery on a child, sexual battery and lewd or lascivious battery. This brings the number of accusers to eight.
One person, now 19, told detectives Thursday that London molested him in Coral Springs five years ago, the Sheriff’s Office said. According to the police report, London offered him a cellphone and clothing in exchange for oral sex. He had the teenager sleep in his bed and performed a sexual act on him, the report said.
