Calvinitri White was falsely arrested for child neglect after police said she lived in a roach-infested apartment with her three children but charges were dismissed after she proved she had been trying for months to get the landlord to address the issue.
Saved you a click
- I just edited the headline to de-clickbait
  
  The hed itself is a shitshow that should have been taken out back and shot.
  After Black woman urged landlord for pest control, roaches lead to her arrest from unrelated 911 call
  Not sure what I'd do with a 1-44-4 in this case
The coverage is solid, but ugh ... "the shocking truth unveiled"? Really?
- Yeah. A lot of news now has these weird LLM-type clickbait text constructions that are really off putting to me.
Tenants HATE this one weird trick to get them arrested FOR FREE!!!!!!!!
