  • California School Reaches Settlement with Middle School Student Who Was Suspended for Allegedly Wearing ‘Blackface’ at Football Game

    California School Reaches Settlement with Middle School Student Who Was Suspended for Allegedly Wearing ‘Blackface’ at Football Game

    A California middle school student was suspended for allegedly wearing “blackface” to a football game in October 2023. His record has since been cleared as part of a settlement with the school, as reported by the NY Post. He claimed he was merely wearing eye black, a typical practice in various sports.

    Daniel Ameduri filed a lawsuit against Muirlands Middle School in La Jolla, California, on behalf of his son, J.A.. The incident wich took place on October 13, 2023, led to a two-day suspension and a ban from attending district sporting events.

    “The false allegations of blackface on J.A.’s permanent school records could have haunted him for decades, affecting both his education and future career opportunities,” Karin Sweigart, J.A.’s lawyer and Dhillon Law Group counsel, said in a statement to Fox News Digital. 

    The settlement was approved by the court on February 24, effectively eliminating J.A.’s two-day suspension from his record. As part of the agreement, district officials and employees are prohibited from mentioning the suspension in any communications with others. “It’s a relief that the school district has finally corrected this injustice,” Sweigart added. “No student should have to fight to clear their name over baseless accusations, which is why organizations like the Center for American Liberty exist—to ensure fairness and protect fundamental rights.” 

    J.A., who is currently a freshman in high school, was in 8th grade at the time of the incident. In a statement to Fox News Digital, Mark Trammell, Center for American Liberty executive director said, “We are so proud of J.A. and his family. When students and parents stand up to this woke nonsense in schools, they win. Let J.A.’s win be a lesson to students and parents everywhere.”

  • Patient Experiences Partial Facial Paralysis from Unlicensed Dentist Operating from Home, Police Say

    Patient Experiences Partial Facial Paralysis from Unlicensed Dentist Operating from Home, Police Say

    A New York woman was taken into custody on Friday and is facing allegations of performing dental procedures without a license at a dental office located in her Long Island home, according to Suffolk County Police per Huff Post

    Yolany Y. Mejia Carranza, 55, has been charged with three felony counts of unauthorized practice of a profession after several individuals who sought her dental services reported suffering injuries due to her practices. Police Commissioner Kevin Catalina stated at a press conference that at least one individual experienced severe nerve damage that resulted in partial facial paralysis. 

    Mejia Carranza was “operating as a dentist without actually being a dentist,” Catalina said. Catalina told reporters that the woman had previously run another illegal dental practice in Huntington Station, but relocated her operation to her home in Bay Shore when she believed she was at risk of being caught, as reported by KGNS-TV. A search of her residence uncovered a “fully functioning dentist’s office,” according to the announcement.

    According to Catalina, Mejia Carranza’s patients were only given local anesthesia and were not provided with the proper anesthesia required for the “complex dental procedures she was performing,” as reported by WABC-TV. Authorities also discovered antibiotics that had been imported from overseas. Police believe there are additional victims. Catalina said during the press conference that Mejia Carranza specifically targeted the Hispanic community, particularly those without health insurance and many who were undocumented.

    Mejia Carranza has pleaded not guilty and is currently out of jail on supervised release, according to KGNS-TV.

  • California Man on Bond for Attempted Murder Faces Kidnapping Charges for Abducting 89-Year-Old Woman in South Carolina

    California Man on Bond for Attempted Murder Faces Kidnapping Charges for Abducting 89-Year-Old Woman in South Carolina

    A California man, who was out on bond for attempted murder, has been arrested for kidnapping and assaulting an elderly woman in South Carolina after she stopped financially supporting him, as reported by Fox News

    Enver Marius Zueros, 34, was taken into custody on Monday and faces charges of first-degree burglary, kidnapping, and attempted murder in connection with the extortion of an 89-year-old woman. Authorities revealed that the woman was discovered on Sunday, left for dead with her wrists bound by duct tape, a dog leash around her ankles, and a bag over her head. 

    Police believe Zueros, who reportedly cross-dresses on social media, had a distant online relationship with the victim’s brother. The woman maintained contact with him through text and email while providing financial help. According to investigators, Zueros, a resident of Mission Viejo, California, became frustrated when she started donating to charities instead of sending him money. 

    To target her, he allegedly rented an Airbnb in the vicinity. When Zueros was in the woman’s house a retired law enforcement neighbor grew suspicious and rang the doorbell. He gave them a fake name and said that the victim had been hospitalized due to a fall in the shower. The neighbor, still feeling uneasy, went back to his home to retrieve a firearm, according to police. Zueros then fled the scene in the woman’s vehicle. 

    Authorities later located the car and discovered the woman restrained beneath the rear folding seats in the floorboard. Zueros was apprehended shortly thereafter. The victim suffered minor injuries but is reported to be in good condition, according to Wright. Zueros is currently being held in a local jail where he was denied bond.

    Daycare Worker Charged for Allegedly Pulling Out ‘Handful’ of 1-Year-Old’s Hair, Police Say

    A daycare worker in Kentucky has been arrested after she reportedly confessed to pulling a toddler’s hair and “removing a substantial amount of hair from the child’s head,” according to local authorities as reported by PEOPLE

    Kesha Cochran, 24, was taken into custody following the incident at a daycare in Leitchfield, Ky., on Tuesday, March 11, as stated by the Leitchfield Police Department. Police launched an investigation after receiving a report concerning an injured 1-year-old at the daycare, ultimately concluding that the injury appeared to be of a “suspicious nature,” according to the statement.

    Surveillance video from the daycare revealed that Cochran was supervising a group of young children when she approached the unnamed 1-year-old and, without any apparent reason, pulled the child’s hair. The victim “began screaming uncontrollably,” police said. The investigation found that the child had a bald patch measuring more than 6 centimeters on their scalp. 

    The video footage indicated that after pulling out the child’s hair, Cochran seemingly threw a “handful of hair” into the trash. In her interview, Cochran confessed to “intentionally” causing harm to the child. According to court records, she has been charged with first-degree criminal abuse. The investigation is still ongoing.

    Former Spirit Airlines Flight Attendant Struck Boyfriend with Beer Bottle After He Jokingly Called Her a ‘Junkie’

    A former Spirit Airlines flight attendant has been charged with hitting her boyfriend on the head with a beer bottle after he jokingly referred to her as “a junkie” during a night out at Funky Buddha Brewery in Florida, per The Post

    Annie Bryn Flaherty, 36, informed officers who arrived at the Fort Lauderdale brewery last week that her boyfriend’s joke upset her to the point of tears, as detailed in a police report obtained by WPLG. She also told officers that the boyfriend “beat her up.”

    The boyfriend, who has not been named, acknowledged calling her a “junkie” but provided a different account of the events that occurred. He claimed that the ex-flight attendant initially reacted to his comment by pouring a beer over him, according to the documents.

    Flaherty was arrested and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and was taken to Broward County Jail, from which she has since been released on bond. The affidavit noted Flaherty’s position as a Spirit Airlines flight attendant; however, the airline informed The Post that she had not been employed there for several years.

  • Xvavier Worthy’s Ex-Fiancée Gets Protective Order Against NFL Star as District Attorney Decides Not to Pursue Domestic Violence Charges

    Xvavier Worthy’s Ex-Fiancée Gets Protective Order Against NFL Star as District Attorney Decides Not to Pursue Domestic Violence Charges

    Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy’s ex-fiancée, who accused him of choking her last week, has been granted a temporary protective order against him. This order will remain in effect until a hearing set for April 1, according to the New York Times.

    Worthy, 21, was arrested on Friday, March 7, for allegedly choking Jones and faced charges of assaulting a family or household member by impeding their breath. He has since been released from police custody. Following the arrest, Worthy’s attorneys, Chip Lewis and Sam Bassett, issued a statement asserting that Jones was asked to leave Worthy’s home due to suspicions of infidelity.

    According to his lawyers, Worthy hired a private investigator who revealed video evidence of his ex-fiancée, professional track star Tia Jones, being unfaithful. When Worthy confronted her and asked her to leave, she reportedly refused, attempted to extort him, and caused damage to his property. Worthy’s legal team also claims that Jones physically assaulted him; however, he opted not to file charges against her. 

    On Saturday, March 8, Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick informed The Austin American-Statesman that his office would not be pursuing the case after interviewing several witnesses. That same day, the Chiefs told the Associated Press they were still in the process of “gathering information” regarding the situation involving Worthy.

  • Illegal Immigrant in Long Island Killed His 2-Month-Old Daughter Because He Believed She Wasn’t His Baby

    Illegal Immigrant in Long Island Killed His 2-Month-Old Daughter Because He Believed She Wasn’t His Baby

    An illegal immigrant is accused of murdering his 2-month-old daughter because he doubted her paternity, per the NY Post. The suspect, 20-year-old Marlon Rabanales-Pretzantzin, allegedly slapped little Liseyda Rabanales-Barrios in the face, punched her in the stomach, and shook her violently inside his Inwood home on March 7, as stated in the criminal complaint.

    He reportedly threw her onto a bed and deliberately pressed his fist into her chest. The infant was left with rib injuries and a fractured vertebra in her neck due to the shaking. The young father was charged with murder on Wednesday after he confessed to taking the life of the baby.

    Rabanales-Pretzantin told police that “although he is listed as the father on the birth certificate, he suspects that he is not the father so he lost affection for the baby and felt some kind of animosity,” Nassau County Detective Lieutenant Scott Skrynecki told The Post. A 911 call was made reporting that the baby had “rolled off the bed” in the home located near Maple Road and Elm Road at approximately 10:40 a.m., according to police.

    An autopsy conducted by a medical examiner determined that the cause of death was homicide. Authorities stated that Rabanales-Pretzantzin, a migrant from Guatemala, crossed the Mexico-El Paso border in 2022. He was detained by Border Patrol and subsequently released, as noted by Skrynecki. Afterward, Rabanales-Pretzantzin traveled to Virginia before arriving in Nassau County. He was arraigned in Nassau County Court on Thursday and is being held without bail.

    Florida Man Trying to Kill Ex-Girlfriend in Drunken Rage Chases Wrong Vehicle, Resulting Death of Innocent Woman

    A Florida man who threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend, ended up taking the life of an innocent woman after mistakenly pursuing the wrong car in a drunken rage, according to Too Fab.

    Kyle Hill, 33, was apprehended on charges of DUI manslaughter, vehicular homicide, and violating probation after a crash that resulted in the death of 28-year-old Arislenni Blanco-Medina and left her boyfriend, Norbelis Figueredo-Campos, injured. The charges against him had been elevated to first-degree murder and attempted first-degree murder, St. Petersburg Police Department revealed. 

    An Unfortunate Case of Mistaken Identity

    The incident took place on Sunday in St. Petersburg at around 8 PM. Hill had an argument with his ex-girlfriend, and she left in a friend’s car, police reported. He took his Nissan SUV to look for her where he reportedly spotted a Honda. The car was the same make and model as the one his ex was driving, but was a different color, Police Chief Anthony Holloway told FOX 13. “While chasing a car, he called her again and said… ‘I’m going to kill you, your friend, and myself,’” Holloway added.

    Hill “began aggressively chasing and harassing the Honda for several blocks,” per police. Inside the car were Figueredo-Campos and Blanco-Medina, both of whom had recently moved to Florida from Cuba. Family members revealed during the press conference that Blanco-Medina had only been in the U.S. for a few months before her tragic death. The couple was reportedly headed to Walmart when Hill “continued to pursue them,” as stated by police. 

    He “forced them off the road” onto the sidewalk, where they collided with a concrete pole, which then fell and crushed the vehicle. Blanco-Medina lost her life in the incident, while Figueredo-Campos was taken to the hospital with severe injuries, according to authorities. Hill’s blood alcohol level was “over twice the legal limit.” He is currently being held without bail.
