Unlicensed Day-Care Owners Arrested
SEALY — A couple was in jail Thursday after authorities said they found a half-dozen children locked in a toolshed behind an unlicensed day-care center.
The children were surrounded by lawn equipment, gasoline and insecticide when they were found Wednesday morning after a child welfare inspector responded to a complaint that an illegal child-care center was being operated at the home, Child Protective Services spokeswoman Gwen Carter said.
Police found 14 children ages 3 months to 5 years. Some children were hidden in the house and at a residence next door, Carter said. The couple could legally care for only three children, she said.
Paramedics examined all the children and found them unharmed. Parents were called to pick them up.
Marietta Patek, 55, faces six charges of child endangerment, Austin County District Attorney Travis Koehn said. Her husband, Freddie Patek, 47, faces a charge of tampering with evidence.
Bail was set at $10,000 for each. They have no attorney of record to comment on their behalf, jail officials said Thursday.
"They’re the sweetest people," a neighbor, Christalynn Bell, told Houston TV station KRIV. "They always think about the children first. . . . It’s totally mind-boggling."

Dallas Car Accident Involves 5 Vehicles
A five-vehicle accident that sent a truck crashing into a concrete median on the Dallas North Tollway closed lanes and backed up traffic for miles in both directions this morning.
The accident was reported about 7 a.m. near Trinity Mills Road in Dallas after a yellow Ford Mustang clipped the front of a truck hauling a generator on a trailer, said Sgt. Robert Bernard of the Texas Department of Public Safety. The collision forced the truck across four lanes of traffic before it struck the concrete barrier and pushed a section of the wall into the southbound lanes.
A pickup truck and a Volkwagen Jetta traveling south crashed as they tried to avoid the concrete barrier. The pickup flipped over and the Jetta driver was transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries, Bernard said.
A fifth vehicle, a sport utility vehicle traveling north, became lodged underneath the trailer in the northbound lanes.
The accident caused traffic to be backed up for miles this morning in both directions. Crews made repairs to the concrete barrier and all lanes had reopened by late morning.

Fort Worth Man Charged with Child Molesting
FORT WORTH — A Fort Worth man found not guilty in 2004 of sexually assaulting a young girl has now been charged with molesting a 16-year-old boy.
Jimmy Ray Davis, 44, was charged Monday with sexual assault of a child under 17, Tarrant County court records show.
Davis, a tattoo artist, was arrested Friday in the East Texas town of Pittsburg. He remained in the Camp County Jail on Tuesday morning with bail set at $35,000, according to jail officials.
Fort Worth police had begun investigating Davis on June 18 after a parent of the boy reported that the child had told of sexual abuse.
Coincidentally, the on-duty detective assigned to investigate the boy’s case, S.L. Kelly, had also handled the investigation into an approximately 7-year-old girl’s claims in 2003 that Davis had sexually assaulted her. Davis went to trial but was acquitted by a Tarrant County jury in October 2004, court records show.
"A lot of times the result isn’t what you think it should be, but you can’t second-guess the court," Kelly said. "Obviously, we just didn’t prove up the case well enough."
In the latest case, Kelly said, the teen is a family friend of Davis’. The teen says Davis assaulted him on several occasions at Davis’ home, Kelly said.
Police searched Davis’ property — his house, four sheds, a business trailer and two recreational vehicles — in the 2800 block of Northwest 23rd Street on June 24 and "seized several things that corroborate the victim’s allegations," Kelly said.
Officers also seized a large amount of pornography in addition to videos, computers and other electronics that will be analyzed for more evidence, she said.
"We suspect there could be additional victims," Kelly said.
