Hodges Family Sues Belleville Township High School District 201 Over September 23 Van Crash

BELLEVILLE, Ill. — Wednesday, the family of G'Mauri Hodges filed an 18-count federal lawsuit against the Board of Education of Belleville Township High School District 201 over the September 23, 2026 van crash in which G'Mauri was severely injured. The attorneys at JJ Legal who represent the Hodges family released the following statement: "Today, the Hodges family took the first step toward holding Belleville Township High School District 201 accountable. The 18-count complaint the family has filed today lays out failure after failure by the District. Tragically disappointing. Keeping children safe is a school's most basic responsibility. This tragedy was entirely avoidable." The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois (Case No. 3.26-cv-01519), alleges: No bids, no contract, no safety review. The District never sought bids or signed a written contract with MVP Transportation, a non-emergency medical transportation company, yet paid it $385,655.80 starting in 2022. In emails, District staff called MVP's $40-per-day rate "so cheap" and "very cheap." An unpermitted driver with federal drug-trafficking convictions. The Illinois Secretary of State has confirmed that MVP was not registered as a school bus employer and that the driver had no school bus permit. The complaint

What they found that day was anything but ancient. In the stretch of the creek behind the Catsup Bottle, Russell found a human skull. When asked what he though when he discovered the skull "I can't believe it." Russell said he Has walked that stretch of the creek thousands of times. Recognizing that it was a human skull, Russell called the Collinsville Police Department who met him at the creek. Russell said Officer Jenkins gave him a pair of evidence gloves and sent him back out to where he saw the skull to bring it to the bank and lay it down at the officers' feet on a tarp. Russell and the girls were then asked to leave the site. After the medical examiner studied the teeth still attached to the skull, two missing peiple in the area have been ruled out, including Donald Farris Jr. who has been missing from the area four years ago.

‘Good thing I have plenty': Belleville teen's Halloween gesture wins hearts online

Toni Beverly was enjoying a quiet night at home with her grandson, Sammy Comstock, when she got a call from Jeff Heidorn, the behavioral interventionist at Belleville East High School. He told her video of Sammy had turned up on Metro East Crime, a popular Facebook page that shares links to local crime news and often posts humorous narratives of police scanner broadcasts. “Metro East Crime? I thought, ‘Oh, no, what could he have done?’” Beverly said. “I was sitting with Sammy, and we were asking what kind of misunderstanding could have landed him in trouble.” Heidorn assured them that, unlike most of what shows up on the Facebook page, the news was all good . A home security camera had captured 17-year-old Sammy walking up to Spencer Tribout’s front porch on Halloween night , only to find a table with an empty candy bin. “Good thing I have plenty,” Sammy could be heard saying as he refilled the depleted bin of treats from his own bag of goodies. He included his full-size Snickers bars. The video received more than 1,400 views on Facebook, far and away the most of any post on Metro East Crime in recent weeks, outpacing
