A North Fork father is in jail for child neglect- the day after his baby son fell out of a car, head-first.

Marc McMurrain is also facing a battery charge for attacking our news crew.

This caps off a long list of violent convictions and child abuse charges to his name.

A convicted violent felon, court documents show McMurrain has a long rap sheet dating back to 2000 when he was convicted of burglary and served prison time.

In 2002 he was convicted of having meth.

In 2009 he was charged with three counts of felony child abuse.

Last year he was charged with three more counts of felony child abuse and Tuesday, he was arrested for one count of child neglect and battery.

In addition to the baby boy who fell on his head at Bass Lake, court documents show McMurrain has at least two other kids.

A Valley city is taking California's High-Speed Rail to court.

The Chowchilla City Council unanimously agreed to file the lawsuit against the California High-Speed Rail Authority.

Council members say they're concerned the recently adopted Merced to Fresno Section Project Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement (EIR/EIS) does not meet the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.

Council members say they're concerned about the project including the safety and impact to school routes that they say have not been addressed by the report.

"We believe this lawsuit is the only reasonable course of action to have our concerns addressed comprehensively," Chowchilla Mayor Janan Hebert said.

A large amount of jewelry found stashed in a real estate box near Bass Lake has been recovered. The Sheriff’s Office is now looking for the owner.

The property was discovered Sunday after someone tried to retrieve a magazine showcasing homes for sale in Eastern Madera County.  A tourist found the jewelry on top of the stack of publications outside Bass Lake Realty, (located on Road 432).

The good Samaritan handed the jewelry over to a Realtor, who turned the property over to the Sheriff’s Office.

Whoever can claim the lost jewelry (by identifying what was found), is asked to call the Sheriff’s Office in Oakhurst.  The number  is 642-3201.
