Warr Acres woman charged after allegedly drugging grandchildren, locking them in dog cage for hours
WARR ACRES, Okla. (KFOR) — A year-long investigation has led to the arrest of 53-year-old Davena Marx, after police say she drugged her grandchildren and locked them in a dog cage. Marx has been charged with four counts of Child Abuse and one count of Child Neglect. Warr Acres Assistant Police Chief Jason Allen said Marx's arrest came later, due to forensic interviews with the children and gathering evidence with the District Attorney's Office. 'The day we went out with them, there was enough to immediately remove the children, which is often not the case,' Asst. Chief Allen said. 'They did find a large dog cage in the residence, and they also did locate Seroquel, which was also one of the allegations that Seroquel had been given to the children as well,' he added. In court documents, Marx's two grandchildren, both under 10 years old, detail the horrific abuse to DHS Investigators. One of the children said Marx would step on their feet and grind her heels into their toes, also hitting them with belts that would leave bruises covering their bodies. OKC man remains missing after vanishing on Christmas Eve The child also said, 'Memaw sells drugs and uses them; she makes us stay in the dog cage when she wants to go outside by herself.' 'The children did test positive for Seroquel, so she was definitely giving them this,' Asst. Chief Allen said. A neighbor also told officers she noticed the children with black eyes and eating out of the dumpster. She also heard Marx cursing at them and calling them worthless. The abuse took place at a Warr Acres apartment complex near N. MacArthur. Neighbors in the complex were stunned when they heard about the abuse. 'It's crazy, it's crazy, and something should be done to her,' said Kenneth Greer. Greer also said, 'It's sad and sickening, that someone would do this to kids, locking them up in a cage, giving them drugs, beating them and everything, that's crazy.' News 4 learned that the children's father was killed in a road rage incident. The mother's whereabouts are unknown. However, officers say the children are now with other family members. Marx is in the Oklahoma County Jail on a $50,000 bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Tribute paid to former bus driver killed alongside wife in cliff fall
Former colleagues of a bus driver who died alongside his wife after their car plunged off a cliff on the Isle of Wight have expressed their sadness. The incident occurred on Friday evening near The Needles, a well-known group of chalk sea stacks, when their Ford Mondeo left the road. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary confirmed the deaths of a 67-year-old man, a 66-year-old woman, and their two dachshunds. The deceased have been identified locally as John King, a former Southern Vectis bus driver, and his wife, Lynn. John King's former colleagues said they were "saddened to learn" of the "tragic" incident. Richard Tyldsley, Southern Vectis general manager, said: 'John King was not an employee of Southern Vectis at the time of his death, having left earlier in the year. 'John had worked for the company as a network driver for two and half years prior to leaving. We are saddened to learn of this tragic event and our thoughts are with his family and friends at this time.' A spokesman for Hampshire Constabulary said: 'We can confirm the death of two people, a woman and a man, aged 66 and 67 respectively, following an incident at The Needles on the Isle of Wight on Friday June 6. 'We were called at 7.21pm after a Ford Mondeo, which was being driven along Alum Bay New Road, left the road, came off the cliff top and came to rest in the water below. 'Two dogs, both dachshunds, were also in the car and died in the incident. 'Formal identification procedures are ongoing, but next of kin have been notified. A post-mortem examination will take place on Tuesday June 10. 'As part of the ongoing investigation into the incident, which has been referred to the coroner, officers have been carrying out inquiries at an address on Arctic Road, Cowes, to help them to establish what happened.'
