A thick roll of snowy-white batting rests on her bedroom floor, stacks of colorful lap quilts are folded on the bed and her old Singer sewing machine, where she spends most of her days, is on a table near the window.

For years, Bryant has been collecting scraps of cloth, stitching them together and creating beautiful lap quilts. She always gave them away. Bryant said if a man came to mow the lawn, she would ask him if he had a wife and children. If he said yes, she would send him home with a few quilts. About a year ago, Bryant decided she wanted to find a way to touch the lives of Cleveland County's neediest children.

A woman from Carbondale claims she suffered emotional and mental distress during an active shooter training exercise she claims she didn't know she was a part of.

Michelle Meeker is suing the Carbondale police chief and an officer. Her employer, the Heritage Park Care Center, where the exercise occurred October 13, 2013, is also listed in the complaint. In a complaint received by 9NEWS Tuesday, Meeker claims she was taken hostage by a man with a gun while at work at the assisted living center in Carbondale. Meeker says the gunman held her against her will while she begged for her life. According to the complaint, what she did not know at the time was that the man with the gun was a Carbondale police officer, and it was all a part of an active shooter drill that was taking place. Meeker claims that she was not informed of the training and suffered severe mental and emotional distress since the incident.

Jack Lamar Roberson was shot and killed by police in his home on Friday afternoon in Waycross, Georgia. His fiancée Alcia Herron called 911 for an ambulance after becoming worried about diabetes medication Roberson had taken.

Cops claim Roberson was brandishing two weapons (not identified by police, though the mayor said he was told it was a knife) and came toward them "aggressively armed". Police also say they were informed Roberson had attempted to commit suicide and was being combative while on their way to his residence. His mother and his fiancée both witnessed the shooting, and their 8-year-old daughter was apparently in the home too.

An Iowa grandmother has been banished to jail, including a night in isolation, after refusing to give in to a judge's demand that she submit to a psychiatric exam and take psychotropic drugs if prescribed to mitigate her opposition to abortion.

"I find it especially strange and abhorrent that a female judge would somehow think it is normal for Planned Parenthood to systematically kill babies in the womb, but abnormal for me to oppose these serial killers," the court pleading said. "Is it not hypocritical for this court to acknowledge a women's purported right in seeking medical help for destroying her child, while denying me the basic right to refuse 'medical help?'"

A DUI crash is nothing to laugh out loud about. Just ask a Kentucky judge who sent DUI suspect Paula Asher to jail for a Facebook post that seemed to make light of her legal ordeal.

"My dumb (expletive) got a DUI and hit a car... LOL," Asher's Facebook post said, according to Louisville, Ky.'s WAVE-TV. That may have been funny to Asher and her friends, but it didn't get her any "likes" in court. Asher was allegedly drunk when she crashed into a car carrying four teenagers in July and then drove off, Lexington, Ky.'s WLEX-TV reports. Police later caught up with her. But then the parents of the teenagers struck by Asher stumbled upon Paula Asher's Facebook post. They asked the judge to order Asher to take down her Facebook page. That's exactly what the judge did.

Shocking dash camera footage shows a diabetic woman being dragged out of her car by Santa Fe County sheriff deputies, all while she was having a diabetic episode.

Revena Garcia's blood sugar dropped so low that she became extremely disoriented and could not open her car door. Deputies assumed she was a drunk driver and broke through her window, ripped her limp body from the vehicle, handcuffed her facedown on the hot pavement, where they left her, motionless. "I was just lost, I was just lost," Garcia said. She said her blood sugar was so low that she could have gone into a coma. Garcia showed no resistance and there was no reason to be so rough with her, to throw her to the ground, and to leave her there.
