reporting from shock trauma, paul gessler, fox45 morning news. three people... including a howard county man... are behind bars this morning... accused of human trafficking. police took the man and a rhode island couple into custody... in two unrelated cases that were reported just days apart. craig anderson has been arrested and charged in the first case. according to charging documents... his alleged victim told police that anderson forced her into prostitution. she says its been going on for two years... but last week... she was able to make her way to a fire station in sykesville... where she called police for help. gary maddox and amina philip are charged with human trafficking and other offenses... in the second case. investigators say they kidnapped their victim in rhode island before coming to

maryland... where the victim walked into a gas station in elkridge and called police for help. bond has been set for all three suspects... ranging from 75-thousand dollars... to 1- million dollars. a montgomery county woman's haunted house... gets taken to court! this is the spooky scene outside donna kerr's silver spring home. for the last three years she has welcomed more than four thousand people into her backyard haunted house for free. but not everyone supports her scary yard. kerr received a cease and desist order in the mail from montgomery county. at least eleven neighbors complained the display creates a traffic hazard in an area with limited parking. "it's made me sick to my stomach when you have people hating on you and you're trying to do a thing for the community. it - like - it hurts me." kerr will argue her case in front of a judge next week. until then, she says she will continue prepping the yard for halloween. firefighters in california respond to a different kind of emergency.

(nats:bride with firefighters- thank you!) the crew delivered a wedding cake and flowers after a local baker fell ill. the baker was on her way from the foothills to make the delivery... when she started having blurred vision and chest pains. on the way to the hospital, she insisted that the cake and flowers make it to the wedding. one of the firefighters called his supervisor... who agreed the team could help out. they couldn't get any employees down in time for another hour or would have missed the whole ceremony." the newlyweds even posed with the firefighters for a one of a kind photo op. most people train for months before competing in a half marathon. but one runner in indiana... was passing by the race and just decided to jump on in with the pack. that's because that runner is "boogie" the dog. he met up with runners at the race starting line on saturday...and just kept going. when "boogie" crossed the finish line no one knew who he belonged to.

it was only after his owner noticed he was missing and went looking for him at a local animal shelter, that he found out about "boogie's" big accomplishment. jerry: "i found out later that, you know, he was all over facebook that he'd run the marathon." reporter: "yeah. can you believe that?" jerry: "nah. i have a hard time because that's keeping his attention for a long time. i think he stayed on the track the whole time." boogie isn't the first dog to run in a half marathon. in 2011... a goldendoodle named "dozer" joined in the maryland half marathon in howard county at the 5 mile mark after escaping from his owner's yard. they probably won't be running... but plenty of won't be running... but plenty of maryland children will be walking and biking to school today. today is "walk to school" day. according to triple-a mid- atlantic... there are 62 events scheduled across the state

in celebration. more than 3- thousand similar walking and biking events are expected to be held nationwide. drivers are being cautioned to pay extra attention on their morning commutes. coming up on the early edition... people in 18 states... are sickened by salmonella. why government officials say the shutdown... which forced some food inspectors off the job... isn't to blame.

((break 2))

the c-d-c says a salmonella outbreak in 18 states has sickened several hundred people. and as brian todd asks... now that some government a-g inspectors are off the job due to the shutdown ...how worried should consumers be about the safety of their food? nearly 300 people made ill from salmonella poisoning... primarily on the west coast. the source, traced to raw chicken products- from three california plants run by a company called foster farms. the inspectors for those products are from the u-s department of agriculture. are they sitting at home? could this outbreak have started because of the government shutdown? the shutdown has not impacted usda's food safety inspection to any major degree. the vast majority of inspection personnel are still working because congress generally viewed their work as a necessity. and, according to a u-s-d-a official, the investigation

into this outbreak started before the government shutdown. experts say the salmonella made it into the marketplace-- simply because some of the naturally- occurring pathogens in chicken slip through sometimes. but the shutdown is drawing another major concern regarding this outbreak-- and it has to do with the centers for disease control. while poultry inspectors are still on the job, the c-d-c has furloughed a lot of people- which means that the absence of people who could track this salmonella linked to the outbreak- could put us all at risk.") a c-d-c official tells us: many of its scientists who track food-borne pathogens, who were furloughed-- were brought back.. but there was a delay in the exchange of information about the outbreak. that worries food-watchdog groups: is this food getting further into the marketplace and you're not warning people? you know, that you're losing opportunities to warn people not to eat it or to remind people to take care because of salmonella or to figure out, does the outbreak get bigger because we haven't put those pieces together? reporter: another key piece of

information we may not be getting is, is this resistant to antibiotics.. right? right- so it's a new thing that we're able to track now, is-- is the salmonella that's making people sick, is that bug gonna respond to the antibiotics you would use to treat it? and it's happened more, more often recently. and, again, we just- i haven't seen that in reports from the government because we're not getting complete reports. a c-d-c spokeswoman told us: there are signs of resistance to antibiotics in some salmonella strains in this outbreak.. but because of the government shutdown, they have not been able to track how widespread those strains are... so that is a major concern. brian todd, cnn, washington. -----end-----cnn.scr ipt----- straight ahead... questioning the effectiveness... of sleep apps. a doctor weighs in on whether they're really helpful... or if professional treatment may be necessary. ((break 3))

we all need it... but few of us get enough. some non- sleepers turn to

medications, but recently many of those who are sleep deprived are using sleep apps on their smart phones to help them get some extra zs. here's carl azuz with today's health minute. it's a crazy world we live in. go... go... go... but when it comes to going to bed, a lot of us are so stressed, we just can't get any shut-eye. there are plenty of medications that claim they can help people sleep. but some drugs have side effects, so a lot of folks choose to toss and turn until they doze off. (nats) introducing sleep apps, applications you can download on your smart phone, or tablets. from using soothing sounds that help you relax, to tracking your sleep patterns, these apps claim they can help you get a better night's sleep. "the fact that people are starting to recognize the importance of sleep is the bonus." but do they really help when it comes to your health? "they are not really going to diagnose anything. they are not going to be able to treat a patient with any type of sleep disorder." recently the food and drug administration announced they will begin monitoring health apps, to

make sure they are safe, and do what they claim. doctors say, even if these programs do cause you to become drowsy, chances are those who download them are having sleep problems that may need to be treated by a physician. because many sleep issues, such as sleep apnea, can lead to serious problems. "if a person is having an issue with their sleep, that may be why they downloaded the app in the first place. and if that is the case certainly seeking medical advice and certainly testing could be beneficial." for today's health minute, carl azuz. coming up... apple... may be hitting a threshold. why the company may not meet i-phone sales forecasts... for the next two years.

is a happy marriage more than just good chemistry? could it also be in your genes?
