    Man Taken into Custody for Allegedly Stabbing Knicks Fans at Indiana Brewery During Playoff Game Against Pacers

    An Indiana man has been arrested for allegedly stabbing two fans of the New York Knicks at a local brewery, as reported by PEOPLE.

    Jarrett Funke, 24, is accused of stabbing two men who were

    “talking trash”

    during the Knicks’ NBA Playoff game against the Indiana Pacers on Friday night. The incident reportedly occurred just before 11 p.m. on May 23 at a brewery in Carmel, Indiana, according to police. The Carmel Police Department stated in a Facebook post that officers discovered two individuals suffering from stab wounds upon their arrival.

    “One male sustained a stab wound to the back and was transported to a local hospital,”

    the Carmel Police Department said.

    “A second male suffered a stab wound to the lower leg and later sought medical attention on his own.”

    Funke was apprehended at the scene, according to a spokesperson for the Carmel Police Department.

    The two victims of the stabbing told police that Funke approached them at the bar and reportedly

    “smacked”

    a Knicks hat off one of their heads, as reported by Fox 59, which cited a police report. Funke was subsequently removed from the bar while shouting at the victims,

    “f— you, you still have a f—— problem. Take this outside,”

    according to the outlet.

    Funke reportedly told police that the Knicks fans were

    “talking sh—”

    to him and supposedly instigated the fight by pushing him and

    “starting to punch him in the face.”

    Funke then stated to the police that he retrieved his pocket knife and swung it at one of the Knicks fans during the confrontation, according to Fox 59.

    Hamilton County court records obtained by PEOPLE indicate that Funke appeared in court on Tuesday and has been charged with three felonies: battery with a deadly weapon, battery causing serious bodily injury, and criminal recklessness involving a deadly weapon. Additionally, court documents reveal that he is facing a misdemeanor battery charge.

    Mother Attacks Son’s Alleged Bully on Bus, Tells Son to ‘Beat His A—’ While Accompanied by Her Teenage Daughter

    An Indiana mother is facing charges for allegedly attacking her son’s bully on the school bus, as reported by Law & Crime.

    Latea Hentz, 36, is accused of confronting the boy she believes has been tormenting her child. Reports indicate she encouraged her son to “beat his a–“ and said, “I’m tired of you b—- a– kids.” Hentz stated she was fed up with her son being bullied during his bus rides to school.

    Witnesses claim that on a March day, Hentz boarded the bus with her son and teenage daughter, declaring, “I’m going to tear this up.” According to police, cellphone footage obtained by local Fox affiliate WXIN captures the incident, which was initially shared on Facebook. In the video, she reportedly asks the other children, “Anybody want to get active?”

    The bus driver reported that both boys had an altercation the day before, during which Hentz’s son was slapped by a 14-year-old eighth grader.

    The eighth grader acknowledged that he teased and joked about Hentz’s son but insisted that he never physically harmed him. His mother stated during police interviews that Hentz’s son was the real bully, alleging that he made racist comments towards her child concerning his Mexican heritage and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

    Hentz now faces charges of criminal trespass, intimidation, criminal confinement, and battery. She is currently awaiting her first court appearance.

    Mother Sentenced for Accidentally Hitting Daughter with Vehicle While Pretending to Abandon Children

    A mother from South Bend, Indiana is currently incarcerated following an incident involving her eight-year-old daughter during a game that took a tragic turn, as reported by Too Fab. Initially pleading not guilty, Jasmine White, 27, eventually accepted a plea deal in January 2025, according to CBS affiliate WYMT.

    White received a nine-year prison sentence with the option for work release, and five of those years were suspended, according to the St. Joseph Prosecutor’s Office. After her release, she will be on probation for two years. In September 2024, she was charged with one count of neglect of a dependent resulting in serious injury, and one count of neglect of a dependent placing the dependent in a dangerous situation, after police claimed she accidentally ran over her daughter, as detailed by NBC affiliate WNDU.

    Tragic Incident

    According to court documents obtained by WSBT, police arrived at the location around 5:48 p.m. on August 29, 2024. Upon their arrival, they discovered the eight-year-old girl “bleeding severely near the entrance to the parking lot.” She was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where doctors diagnosed her with “skull and orbital fractures, the loss of five teeth, various abrasions, and a large facial laceration that had exposed a portion of the front of her skull,” per the filing.

    Witnesses informed the police that the girl and her four siblings were running alongside White’s vehicle at an apartment complex, where she would pretend to abandon them. According to the six-year-old, as reported by the police, White was driving faster than normal during this instance. When her older sister’s foot became trapped under a tire, the child stated that her sister was gripping the door handle when she fell, striking her head hard. Doctors managed to stabilize the girl, and after several days of intubation and IV sedation, she was finally released.

  • FBI Tip Helps Prevent Indiana Teen Girl’s Valentine’s Day Mass Shooting Plan At Mooresville High School

    FBI Tip Helps Prevent Indiana Teen Girl’s Valentine’s Day Mass Shooting Plan At Mooresville High School

    Indiana police report that they prevented a mass shooting that an 18-year-old girl was allegedly planning for her high school on Valentine’s Day, per the NY Post. Trinity Shockley was taken into custody this week just days after authorities discovered her plot to attack Mooresville High School, located southwest of Indianapolis. 

    The FBI provided a tip on Tuesday evening regarding the potential attack, prompting Mooresville police to search Shockley’s home and arrest her. She is currently being held without bail and faces charges of conspiracy to commit murder, making threats of terrorism, and conspiracy to commit intimidation, as reported by Fox 59. 

    If the plan had succeeded, it would have coincided with the seventh anniversary of the tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, which resulted in the deaths of 17 people in 2018. Shockley had previously been the focus of a community fundraiser in Mooresville after being struck by a drunk driver while on her way to school in 2022.

  • Mom Outraged After Her 6-Year-Old Daughter Is Left Behind For 2 Hours During School Trip To Pumpkin Patch

    Mom Outraged After Her 6-Year-Old Daughter Is Left Behind For 2 Hours During School Trip To Pumpkin Patch

    A mother is outraged after her six-year-old daughter was left alone for two hours during a school trip, per the NY Post. While the other kids traveled 26 miles back to school, Cianni Allen, age 6, was found wandering by herself in a pumpkin patch at Tuttle Orchards in Greenfield, Indiana. 

    Cianni went missing during the school trip on October 16. Her mother, Dearra, 33, received a frantic call from the school staff at Christel House Academy West and quickly rushed to the school while a teacher went to get Cianni. Although the school has apologized, Dearra says their apologies are not enough.

    “They’re trying to keep me quiet with all these apologies, but I don’t care about that. You lost my child,”

    says the licensed health and life insurance agent from Indianapolis. 

    “I’m not letting this go. I’ve contacted four lawyers, and I’m pushing this out to the press. This needs to be heard. Teachers aren’t doing proper head counts, and these chaperones — parents who already have their own biases — are responsible for our kids.”

    Her mom said that the rest of the class left the patch at 2:00 PM and got back to school at 2:45 PM. They realized Cianni was missing when the staff from the orchard called the school, reports note. The teachers then contacted Cianni’s emergency contact — her grandmother. Dearra frantically rushed to the school and Cianni was returned at 4:30 PM.

    “Her teacher was there, saying, ‘I did a head count, and everyone was accounted for. I didn’t see Cianni or her pumpkin, so I thought she was already on the bus.’”

    “Anything could have happened to her. Someone could have snatched her.”

    Cianni told the outlet she thought she’d never see her mom or dad again.

    “I was scared,”

    Cianni says.

    “When I was by myself, I said, ‘Where’s my teacher?“

    she told reporters.

    “And this lady, she said, ‘What’s wrong?’ And I said, ‘My school is missing.’ And then they took me into their office and called the school.”

  • Teacher Arrested After Students Discover Methamphetamine In Her Hair Tie, Police Say

    Teacher Arrested After Students Discover Methamphetamine In Her Hair Tie, Police Say

    A middle school teacher in Indiana was arrested after students discovered methamphetamine hidden in her hair scrunchie, reports FOX News. Police also found a pouch of clean urine in her pants, which she had brought with her in anticipation of upcoming drug tests. 

    The incident occurred during a family fun night at Helfrich Park STEM Academy, where Sarah Duncan, a 35-year-old woman and parent of a student, was present. At the end of the event, around 6 p.m., Duncan took pictures with students in a photo booth, as noted in the affidavit. 

    “Both juveniles stated that Duncan let her hair down for the photo,”

    Evansville Police Department officers wrote.

    “After the photo, the juveniles cleaned up the area and located a blueish-colored velvet-type scrunchie with a white zipper on the table. They noticed the scrunchie was heavier than a typical scrunchie, they opened the zipper pouch and observed a glass vial that contained a white powdered substance that the two believed to be drugs along with a cut straw with white powder.”

    After the students discovered the methamphetamine in the hair scrunchie, they immediately informed another teacher who advised them to throw it away. This teacher secured the scrunchie in her classroom and informed the principal and assistant principal. On the other hand, two janitors reported that after the event, Duncan was seen desperately searching for a hair tie. 

    Police tested the scrunchie which reportedly tested positive for methamphetamine. Two days later, Duncan went to a clinic for a drug urine screening accompanied by the school’s deputy chief of staff and the police chief. However, her first two urine samples were too small and did not reach the appropriate temperature for testing. Duncan claimed to be clueless about why this was happening. During her third attempt, officers witnessed an unauthorized collection container fall from her shorts.

    “Duncan stated that she was not aware of the pouch/container in her shorts until after she was providing her second sample,”

    police wrote in their affidavit.

    Duncan was arrested and taken to Vanderburgh County Jail on charges of criminal possession and possession of drug paraphernalia. She has since been released on a $1,000 bond, with the condition that she attends a drug rehab program, according to the court clerk at Vanderburgh Superior Court who spoke to Fox News Digital.

Key, 32, was arrested and charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury and criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon.

During an interview with detectives, Key reportedly confessed that her pitbull had snatched her Burger King chicken sandwich, leading her to become enraged.

    Officials Searching For Suspect Who Was Mistakenly Released From Jail, Reports Say

    In Indiana, a murder suspect was mistakenly released from jail just two days after being locked up.

    he went on to say. 

    The victim’s family is frustrated and feels that justice is being delayed. The victim’s sister, Shannell Catchings, informed FOX59,

    “For 27 months I’ve been trying to get some type of justice and then now I just feel like we’re back at square one.”

  • Woman Arrested For Concealing Drugs In Private Parts, Fake Heart Attack To Evade Police Suspicion

    Woman Arrested For Concealing Drugs In Private Parts, Fake Heart Attack To Evade Police Suspicion

    A woman from Indiana has been taken into custody after allegedly faking a heart attack and attempting to hide a sizable bag of illegal drugs in her private parts, reports FOX News.

    The Wayne County Sheriff’s Department reported that Amanda Smith, 41, was pulled over by Deputy Ryan Riggs, Deputy Aaron Crawford, and Deputy Matt Wright on September 4. Suspecting drug activity, the officers conducted a search of Smith’s vehicle, which was confirmed by K9 Copper indicating the presence of narcotics. Court documents obtained by FOX 59 Indianapolis revealed that Smith immediately pretended to have a heart attack and prohibited medical professionals from assessing her condition.

    Despite being taken to a local hospital, Smith adamantly refused medical treatment and refused to remove her clothing. When she insisted on using the restroom alone, law enforcement officials suspected that she was attempting to conceal drugs and dispose of the evidence. 

    Nurses reportedly noticed a plastic sandwich bag concealed in her private area. A body scan performed at Wayne County Jail confirmed an abnormality in her pelvic region, but Smith continued to deny any wrongdoing.

    Eventually, Smith confessed to hiding drugs in her private parts and handed over an

    “avocado-size plastic sandwich bag”

    containing methamphetamine, crack cocaine, and fentanyl, reports note. 

    Further investigation uncovered more illegal substances in her vehicle, including Gabapentin, Naloxone, and buprenorphine. Additionally, a notebook discovered in the car contained details such as names, weights, dollar amounts, and various drug types. Smith has been arrested and is facing multiple felony charges for drug dealing.
