  • Kenosha Police Pepper-Sprayed Black Father and Baby Inside An Applebee’s In Mistaken Arrest

    Kenosha Police Pepper-Sprayed Black Father and Baby Inside An Applebee’s In Mistaken Arrest

    Police in Kenosha, Wisconsin are under fire after reportedly pepper-spraying a young Black father and his baby at an Applebee’s restaurant, per Insider.

    The incident occurred while officers were searching for a hit-and-run suspect, but mistakenly targeted Jermelle English Jr. and his partner Shayna Boyd instead. Video footage shows a bystander pleading for someone to protect the baby as police restrain English. 

    Charges of disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, obstructing an officer, and possession of marijuana were filed against English and Boyd. The family’s attorney, Kevin O’Connor, has called for an investigation by the Justice Department and for the charges to be dropped. With the experienced trauma that the family has faced they now feel that

    “being Black and being out here and having dinner is not safe enough for them,”

    O’Connor revealed at a press conference. 

    “This was no accident,”

    O’Connor said in the press conference.

    “What is the first thing that officers are taught? To de-escalate a situation.”

    Tanya McLean, executive director of local social justice nonprofit Leaders of Kenosha, criticized the police for not releasing all body camera footage of the incident. The incident, which took place on July 20, coincided with the third anniversary of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, a Black man shot seven times during a traffic stop in Kenosha in 2020. The Kenosha Police Department has not responded to Insider’s requests for comment.

  • Private School Teacher Allegedly Sexually Assaulted Teen In Park, Gifted Him Gun For Birthday

    Private School Teacher Allegedly Sexually Assaulted Teen In Park, Gifted Him Gun For Birthday

    A private Christian school teacher in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, has been accused of sexually assaulting an eighth-grade student, per the NY Post. 

    The alleged perpetrator, Tyesha Bolden, 34, reportedly had an inappropriate relationship with the boy, which included exchanging over 2,200 text messages, some of which contained explicit content. Bolden has been released on a $2,500 bond after being charged with second-degree child sex assault and providing a dangerous weapon to a child.

    According to police, in June, Bolden took the boy to a wooded park, where the assault is said to have occurred. The victim later revealed that he asked Bolden to buy him a Glock 19 handgun, as he felt the need for protection. Shockingly, Bolden not only purchased the gun and ammunition but also gifted it to the teenager for his 14th birthday, along with some books.

    The situation came to light when the victim’s parents discovered inappropriate photos, including a topless selfie of Bolden, on their son’s phone. In July, the teen asked Bolden for money and another gun, but she only provided the money. Shortly after, the victim went missing, and it was suspected that he might be staying at Bolden’s residence. Police located him in possession of the same gun his teacher had bought him.

    Upon learning of the allegations against Bolden, the school promptly fired her. 

    If convicted, she could face up to 40 years in prison.

  • Mother Of 15 Arrested In Colorado After Husband’s Lifeless Body Was Found On Front Lawn, Couple Previously Accused Of Child Abuse and Animal Cruelty

    Mother Of 15 Arrested In Colorado After Husband’s Lifeless Body Was Found On Front Lawn, Couple Previously Accused Of Child Abuse and Animal Cruelty

    A mother-of-15 from Colorado has been taken into custody following the discovery of her husband’s body on their property, reports the Daily Mail. 

    In 2019, Martha Crouch, 57, and her husband Timothy, 62, were accused of running what was described as a

    “house of horrors,”

    according to their 18-year-old daughter. The accusations against her include beating her children, depriving them of education, and even chaining one daughter to a bed in an attempt to make her lose weight. Most shockingly, she is accused of boiling puppies alive and forcing her children to witness these horrific acts.

    “I’ll never be able to get the images out of my mind – seeing my mother dropping newborn puppies into boiling water and the smell of them cooking on the stovetop,”

    Lizzy, Martha’s fourth-youngest daughter, told The Daily Mail. 

    Martha was charged with child abuse, cruelty to animals, and obstruction of an investigation. In an effort to avoid jail time, she took a plea deal in December 2021, pleading no contest to a fourth-degree felony count of attempted child abuse. However, just two days after her probation sentence began, Martha violated the terms, resulting in a warrant for her arrest. 

    Huerfano County sheriffs located her in Walsenburg, Colorado, almost 20 months later, after the tragic discovery of her husband’s lifeless body that was found on their front lawn. Authorities say she was hiding behind a concealed wall in her trailer.

    Law enforcement also learned that her 14-year-old daughter had been missing for the past three years. Following their neighbor’s tip, authorities discovered a hidden wall within the kitchen of their home, where Martha and her missing daughter were located. 

    Martha was arrested for violating probation and now faces additional charges of misdemeanor child abuse and obstruction of deputies. She is presently detained in a county jail with a cash bond set at $5,000. The date for her next court appearance is yet to be determined.

  • Senegal’s Political Landscape Shaken: OUSMANE SONKO’s Hospitalization

    Senegal’s Political Landscape Shaken: OUSMANE SONKO’s Hospitalization

    According To African News, Senegal opposition leader Ousmane Sonko has been admitted to the hospital Sonko has been on hunger strike since he was arrested after a two-year standoff with the government. Aides and one of his lawyers said he was admitted to a hospital emergency on Sunday in Dakar.

    Mr Sonko’s lawyers, Ciré Clédor Ly, confirmed this, without commenting on his condition. Mr Sonko, 49, went on hunger strike on 30th July, two days after his arrest. A declared presidential candidate in February 2024, he has been waging a fierce battle with the authorities since 2021, when the courts implicated him in a sex scandal that he denounces as a plot to eliminate him politically.

    After several episodes of deadly popular protest and two successive convictions for defamation and

    “corruption of youth”,

    He was imprisoned on Monday on various charges, including calling for insurrection, criminal association in connection with a terrorist undertaking and undermining state security. The authorities announced the dissolution of his party on the same day.

    Mr Ciré Clédor Ly confirmed that Mr Sonko had written to the courts from prison last week to say that he did not accept his conviction, which his lawyers said was a necessary condition for the judgment to be quashed and a new trial held. The prosecutor, Abdou Karim Diop, denied the day after his arrest that this meant he was no longer in absentia.

  • Bodycam Footage Shows Miami-Dade Police Chief Handcuffed Hours Before Suicide Attempt

    Bodycam Footage Shows Miami-Dade Police Chief Handcuffed Hours Before Suicide Attempt

    Newly released bodycam footage has provided additional information about the tragic events leading up to the self-inflicted gunshot wound of Miami-Dade police director Alfredo ‘Freddy’ Ramirez. The incident occurred at a Tampa hotel on July 23 after police were called to respond to an argument between Ramirez and his wife, during which witnesses claimed he had pointed a gun at his own head. Approximately twelve officers from the Tampa Police Department arrived at the scene, reports the Daily Mail. 

    After handcuffing Ramirez, a 27-year police veteran, and speaking with him and his wife, the officers decided to release Ramirez and left the hotel. Ramirez later contacted the Miami-Dade mayor to express his desire to resign due to the mistakes he believed he had made.

    Later that evening, while driving back to Miami, Ramirez pulled over on the I-75 and shot himself in the head. He was immediately rushed to Tampa Hospital and underwent surgery. Although his condition is stable, it is expected that he may have lost vision in his right eye.

    In the recently released bodycam footage, Ramirez can be heard questioning the actions of the Tampa police officers and emphasizing his position as the director of the Miami-Dade police department.

    The incident began at a JW Marriott hotel where Ramirez and his wife were attending a law enforcement conference. Witnesses reported an argument between the couple, with one witness claiming that Ramirez had threatened self-harm. A hotel staffer was heard telling officers that a witness described a man threatening suicide.

    In response to the report of a gun, police approached the couple’s hotel room with caution. Ramirez’s wife cooperated with the officers and informed them of her husband’s location. When Ramirez exited the room, he was promptly handcuffed. Expressing confusion, he denied any wrongdoing and insisted that they had been engaged in a conversation.

    During the 15 minutes that Ramirez was handcuffed, his wife assured the police that their altercation had been a mere heated discussion. She mentioned Ramirez’s position as the director of the Miami-Dade Police Department and acknowledged the challenges he faces in his role.

    As the evening progressed, Ramirez contacted Mayor Levine Cava, expressing regret and a desire to resign. The mayor advised him to return home safely, promising to discuss the matter further the next day. Tragically, Ramirez then shot himself while driving on the I-75. His wife immediately called emergency services for assistance.

    Ramirez’s condition remains stable, and he continues to receive treatment in the Tampa area.

  • Son Stole $70K From His Grieving Dad By Putting On Deceased Mom’s Voice To Transfer Funds To His Account

    Son Stole $70K From His Grieving Dad By Putting On Deceased Mom’s Voice To Transfer Funds To His Account

    Police arrested a man they say stole $70,000 from his grieving dad by posing as his deceased mother to transfer funds, per the NY Post. 

    Daniel Cuthbert, 42, is accused of withdrawing and transferring money from his father’s accounts to his account over 14 months. Cuthbert allegedly pretended to be his deceased mother by

    “[putting] on a female voice”

    to authorize transfers on several occasions. In some instances, he would also pose as his father during his phone calls to the bank. 

    When his father noticed the missing money from his account he confronted Cuthbert however, the father, overwhelmed with grief, overlooked his son’s iniquity. In 2018, the dad received a visit from the United Kingdom buildings society which notified him that he was on the verge of losing his property because of his debts. The Northamptonshire Police’s Volume Fraud team opened an investigation into the case and Cuthbert was arrested. 

    “This was a really despicable abuse of trust by this man who falsely represented his father and even his late mother, in order to defraud them out of more than £56,000 [$73,384],”

    Sergeant Mike Rogers told South West News Service.

    According to the outlet, Cuthbert also took out loans in his father’s name, which later caused him to lose his home, due to the amount of debt piled up. 

    “This was a complex investigation, but due to some excellent work by the lead investigator, Cuthbert has been jailed and will now have plenty of time to reflect on his actions,”

    Rogers said.

    “We hope this brings some closure to the victim who was put through a horrendous ordeal by his son only months after losing his wife.”
