  • Woman Allegedly Tricks Reverend into Certifying Marriage Certificate with Ex After He Broke Up with Her

    Woman Allegedly Tricks Reverend into Certifying Marriage Certificate with Ex After He Broke Up with Her

    A 42-year-old man from Texas was shocked when he arrived at his Beverly Hills home on Friday night, to find a package from Bath & Body Works sent by his ex-girlfriend, per PEOPLE.

    According to a press release from the Beverly Hills Police Department, inside the package was a photo of his ex, 36-year-old Kristin Marie Spearman,

    “holding what appears to be a marriage license showing them married and officiated by a local reverend.”

    Additionally, the package included a copy of the marriage certificate, which had been filed with the McLennan County Clerk’s Office. Police reported that the man stated he and Spearman had been in a relationship and had obtained a marriage license around June 2. Following the distribution of the license, the couple had

    “an argument,”

    during which the man informed Spearman that

    “he did not want to be in a relationship.”

    An investigation found that

    “Spearman, pursuant to the scheme of obtaining a marriage certificate, convinced the reverend to certify the victim and Kristin in the Holy Union of Matrimony without the knowledge of the victim and his required presence,”

    police said. Spearman then submitted the certificate to the county clerk.

    Working alongside the Hewitt Police Department, authorities arrested Spearman at her residence near Hewitt. She has been charged with third-degree felony stalking and is currently in the McLennan County Jail, held on a $10,000 bond, according to jail records. The Beverly Hills Police Department announced in the release that they will not reveal the name of the reverend “to prevent harassment and influence” as the case proceeds.

  • NYPD Seeks Arrest Warrant for Babysitter Caught on Video Hitting NYC Kids with a Belt

    NYPD Seeks Arrest Warrant for Babysitter Caught on Video Hitting NYC Kids with a Belt

    The NYPD is trying to obtain an arrest warrant for a city-funded babysitter who was caught on video beating two boys from the Bronx with a belt, according to the NY Post. The incident, reported by the family nearly a month ago, has been confirmed by law enforcement sources on Tuesday.

    Authorities are actively looking for 24-year-old La’keysha Jackson, who was allegedly caught on video hitting the crying children, aged 4 and 6, nearly 60 times inside their home in Morrisania on May 6, the sources revealed. As of Tuesday, officers had not yet been able to find Jackson for arrest.

    If a grand jury issues an arrest warrant when it meets on Wednesday, police will be able to enter Jackson’s apartment by force to take her into custody, the sources added. The disturbing footage obtained by The Post shows the caregiver violently whipping the children’s backsides while holding their small arms to prevent them from escaping.

    “Guess what’s about to happen?”

    she can be heard saying, apparently upset that the two older kids, aged 4 and 6, did not clean up their room.

    “Belt?”

    one of the young boys answers. Pulling a thick brown belt out of a cross-body bag, Jackson replies

    “You’re right — I warned y’all,” chillingly adding: “Drop ‘em.”

    According to the family, Jackson also

    “Hit the kids with the [clothes] hangers, hitting them with belts, [and] throwing the [2-year-old] baby.”

    Their mother, Geraldine Jaramillo, has also claimed that the babysitter subjected the children to emotional and verbal abuse. Jackson was hired by Selfhelp, a home aid provider contracted by the troubled Administration for Children’s Services (ACS), as part of a homemaking program designed to assist struggling families in the city with babysitting services. An ACS spokesperson stated that Jackson is no longer employed by Selfhelp and that ACS is collaborating with the NYPD in their investigation.

  • Georgia College Student Detained by ICE After Making an Illegal Right Turn, Police Say

    Georgia College Student Detained by ICE After Making an Illegal Right Turn, Police Say

    A college student from Georgia, who has been in the U.S. since she was 4, has been taken into ICE custody and is now at risk of deportation, all due to a wrong turn, according to Huff Post.

    Ximena Arias-Cristobal, 19, a student at Dalton State College, was pulled over by police in Dalton on Monday for turning right despite a “no turn on red” sign, as detailed in a police report obtained by HuffPost. Arias-Cristobal informed the officers that she had an international driver’s license, but she did not have it on her at that time. As a result, the police arrested her for driving without a valid driver’s license and for making an illegal right turn on red.

    A representative from the Dalton Police Department explained to HuffPost that officers must arrest anyone driving without a license and do not have the discretion to overlook that violation. After her arrest, Arias-Cristobal was taken to Whitfield County Jail. Arias-Cristobal’s family shared with ABC affiliate WTCV that the young woman is currently being held at Stewart Detention Center alongside her father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar.

    Arias-Tovar, was arrested two weeks ago for exceeding the speed limit by 19 miles. This facility is located near Columbus, Georgia. The outlet reported that Whitfield County has had a “jail enforcement model” agreement with ICE since June 2020. This allows ICE to identify and take custody of “removable” immigrants detained by state or local law enforcement.

    Arias-Tovar’s wife told the outlet that her husband has no criminal history, runs a construction business, and pays taxes.

  • Mother Allegedly ‘Tried to Run Over Group of Elementary Students’ After They Fled from a Fight, Police Say

    Mother Allegedly ‘Tried to Run Over Group of Elementary Students’ After They Fled from a Fight, Police Say

    A Louisiana mother is accused of bringing several children to a local school to engage in “fight other kids” before she allegedly “tried to run over a group of elementary students with her car,” per Law & Crime

    Lejonkica Sharp, 23, was arrested last week and charged with six counts of aggravated assault related to the incident. A news release from the Shreveport Police Department stated that the events occurred around 8 a.m. on Tuesday, April 29, at an elementary school located approximately 350 miles northwest of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

    “Officers were called to Pine Grove Elementary after a parent reportedly dropped off kids to fight other kids … then tried to run over a group of elementary students with her car when things didn’t go her way,” the statement said. Another parent present at the school during the incident called 911. 

    The children allegedly hopped out of Sharp’s car intending to confront the caller’s elementary school-aged children. The caller explained that when her children ran away on foot, Sharp attempted to run them over. At least one of the children Sharp brought to the school was her own, according to Shreveport CBS affiliate KSLA. Investigators stated that when they reached out to Sharp, she claimed the caller’s children had been “throwing rocks at her car.” However, they reviewed surveillance footage from the school that presented a very different account of events.

    “Footage clearly showed Sharp deliberately trying to hit six children with her vehicle,” the release states. Authorities took Sharp into custody on May 1. “If you think the solution to kid drama is vehicular assault — we’ve got a spot for you, and it’s not in the carpool line. Do better, parents. Seriously,” the police department posted to its official Facebook page.
