Meet Bailey Stell.

She saved herself from death after a brutal attack by two people.

They ran her over twice and left her to bleed out and die on a rural dead-end road in Kalamazoo County.

She stood up and headed into the woods.

Leaf pickup happening after heavy rain overnight in #Kalamazoo.

People were complaining to the city about missed leaf pickups in recent weeks. The cleanup was expected earlier but there seems to be a warm weather window now.

People complained about clogged storm drains

Oh don’t worry I wasn’t going anywhere…

Train: Starts going back and forth, blocking traffic

Two people were late to my meeting yesterday for the same reason.

Cars doing U-turns to try to find a way through.

I wrote and article about this ongoing problem in 2017 🤦

My job is to tell real stories to the public based on facts.

I find out things that I can't leave out.

This is one of the tough parts of being a reporter because you are trusted to write these stories and truth matters.

I met and photographed Angelique Motton, 38, in downtown Kalamazoo as temps were near freezing. She was looking for her tent Tuesday.

Her brother just called me from GA. They haven't spoke for 20 yrs. I called Angelique. She said she would call him.

Angelique Motton, 38, bundled up on the sidewalk near North Burdick/Eleanor Tuesday as temperatures were near freezing. She headed back to find her tent nearby a drop-in day shelter.

She wasn’t sure where she would stay last night, unsure where her tent was at.
