A Christiansburg couple is scheduled to be in court today in Montgomery County on allegations of child abuse. Benjamin and Victoria Crockett are charged with four felony counts of child abuse and neglect. Search warrants show the downstairs floor of their home was matted with dog feces, causing an "unbearable smell." Warrants also show dog feces were in almost every room of the home and on some of the walls. A prosecutor in the case says there was "severe physical abuse" at a hearing last month. Benjamin Crockett also has a preliminary hearing on a charge of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
The trial begins today for the Elliston man, charged with shooting and killing a man. Daniel Crimmins is charged with second degree murder in the death of Christian Santana in November. The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office says Crimmins confessed to shooting him.
