TYLER — A Flint man facing charges in connection to the death of his daughter will appear in court today. KETK reports his child died after getting locked in a hot vehicle last June. Russell Lindstrom, 33, will appear in the 7th Judicial District Court for a plea hearing at 10:30. The honorable Kerry L. Russell will be the presiding judge. If a not guilty plea is entered, a jury trial is slated to begin on January 12. The suspect’s charges were lowered from one count of manslaughter and one count of injury to a child to two counts of injury to a child in October.
A 911 call was received in June about two unresponsive youngsters inside a hot pickup with the windows rolled up in the 18000 block of County Road 1100. Bella Lindstrom, aged four, was taken to a hospital, where she died. Her three-year-old sister Zoey was hospitalized and released the next day. Russell Lindstrom was arrested in July at a mobile home park in the 17000 block of Highway 155 South.
