  • Man Arrested for Pulling Gun Out on Restaurant Staff Over Dispute About the Bill

    Man Arrested for Pulling Gun Out on Restaurant Staff Over Dispute About the Bill

    A man from Daytona Beach was arrested for allegedly waving a gun inside a restaurant and pointing it at four employees during a dispute over a bill, according to Ormond Beach police and the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

    Anthony Rodriguez, 25, turned himself in to authorities on Thursday, June 5. The incident occurred about a month ago. He is facing four counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Records show he was released from the Volusia County Branch Jail on a $30,000 bond as of Monday, June 9.

    According to Ormond Beach police, Rodriguez and three companions were dining at Fresh Guacamole Tequila & Bar Mexican Grill on 1930 West Granada Blvd. on May 6. They became displeased with the bill when it was presented, leading to an argument with the restaurant staff. To calm things down, an employee suggested that the group could leave without paying, as stated in the arrest report.

    During the argument, a woman in the group began banging on the plexiglass protecting the cashier and pushed past it toward four employees, including a 16-year-old son of one of the staff. She yelled at one employee, prompting the teenager to step in to defend his father. At that moment, surveillance footage shows Rodriguez pulling out a silver handgun from his bag.

    Rodriguez pointed the gun at the four people, and the woman then pushed him out of the restaurant. After a month-long investigation, police used photo lineups and facial recognition technology to confirm that Rodriguez was the one who brandished the gun at the employees.

    A 2-Year-Old Boy from New York City Has Been Missing for Weeks, and Authorities Believe His Father May Have Thrown Him into a River

    New York City Police are on the lookout for a two-year-old boy from the Bronx who was last seen in early May. Authorities believe that Montrell Williams may have been thrown into the Bronx River by his 20-year-old father, as reported by reports from ABC7, Fox 5, and NBC4, citing law enforcement sources.

    Police divers have been tirelessly searching the Bronx River beneath the Bruckner Expressway, as reported by ABC7. The child disappeared on May 10 around 10 p.m., according to police.

    Montrell, last seen wearing a white T-shirt and a diaper, was with his father as they left a family celebration, according to NBC 4. That same night, the boy’s mother reportedly contacted the police.

    A source told Fox 5 that the mother filed a custodial interference report on May 30. The parents reportedly share joint custody of Montrell. Sources told NBC 4 and the New York Daily News that Montrell’s father pulled out a knife when the boy’s mother asked about her son on Saturday, June 7, prompting her to call the police.

    The boy’s father appeared in Bronx Family Court on Monday, June 9, according to PEOPLE. The father reportedly refused to explain what happened to Montrell and was taken into custody.

  • Florida Man Calls 911 on Employee After Being Denied S*x at Strip Club, Reports Say He Was Arrested Instead

    Florida Man Calls 911 on Employee After Being Denied S*x at Strip Club, Reports Say He Was Arrested Instead

    A Florida man was taken into custody at a strip club after he dialed 911, claiming that an employee refused to engage in sexual activity with him, as reported by Law & Crime.

    The suspect, identified as Sultan Jiza Muedh Alnofaie, 21, was at the Oz Gentlemen’s Club in Clearwater just before 1 a.m. on Sunday. According to the probable cause affidavit, Alnofaie called an emergency dispatcher to report the issue with the employee. He reportedly told the police to

    “come and take him to jail.”

    He also informed dispatchers that the club’s security had

    “taken”

    $300 from him.

    He claimed he had given that amount to an employee for sex but did not receive the services he expected. According to security personnel at the club, the defendant paid for a private room and requested sex from a staff member.

    “When denied said acts, the defendant called 911 for assistance,”

    the affidavit said.

    Alnofaie attempted to have the police arrest the employee who took his money, but he was the one who ended up in handcuffs. Deputies said he appeared to be intoxicated, slurring his speech and reeking of alcohol. He was taken to jail on a misdemeanor charge for misusing the 911 system and has since posted a $500 bond.

    Originally from Saudi Arabia, Alnofaie is currently residing in Miramar.

  • ICE Accidentally Detains Marshals Deputy Who ‘Fit the General Description’ of an Intended Person

    ICE Accidentally Detains Marshals Deputy Who ‘Fit the General Description’ of an Intended Person

    Immigration agents temporarily detained a deputy from the U.S. Marshals Service last month as he was entering a federal building that contains the immigration court in Tucson, Arizona, according to Huff Post.

    The Marshals Service confirmed to the Arizona Daily Star on Thursday that a deputy

    “who fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE was briefly detained at a federal building in Tucson after entering the lobby of the building.”

    The Marshals Service is responsible for enforcing the law in federal courts, safeguarding judges, and apprehending fugitives, reports note.

    “The Deputy US Marshal’s identity was quickly confirmed by other law enforcement officers, and he exited the building without incident,”

    the Marshals Service told the Arizona Daily Star. It’s unclear what the Marshals Service meant by stating that the deputy

    “fit the general description”

    of an individual being sought by ICE. However, President Donald Trump’s aggressive mass deportation policy has sparked worries about racial profiling. Legal residents and U.S. citizens, including Native Americans, have all faced stops by ICE.

    Last week, Axios reported on a meeting between Trump administration officials Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem, where they aimed to arrest 3,000 people daily. Noah Schramm from the ACLU of Arizona told the Arizona Daily Star that the limited information about the deputy’s incident highlights how the Trump administration’s arrest quotas are leading to more mistakes.

    “It is not surprising that there would be these cases that the wrong person is detained,”

    Schramm said.

    “I think it reflects that they are trying to get numbers and that they are OK violating basic principles and basic procedures that are meant to protect people and make sure the wrong people don’t get picked up.”

The creepy suspect approached her, shouting that there was a spider on her. He then allegedly grabbed and slapped her buttocks over her clothing before fleeing on foot.

    Later that night, another woman walking alone near Newtown Road was approached from behind by the alleged perpetrator, according to the NYPD. He shouted that she had a spider on her before grabbing and slapping her buttocks and vagina over her clothes, police reported.

    The NYPD is urging anyone with information about these incidents to come forward.

  • Chicago Police Say Officer Was ‘Unintentionally’ Shot and Killed by Partner During Foot Pursuit

    Chicago Police Say Officer Was ‘Unintentionally’ Shot and Killed by Partner During Foot Pursuit

    A Chicago police officer has sadly lost her life after being accidentally shot by her partner during a pursuit of a suspect, as reported by the NY Post.

    Krystal Rivera, 36, a four-year veteran of the force, was

    “unintentionally”

    shot shortly before 10 p.m. on Thursday. Rivera’s tactical unit attempted to stop an individual believed to be armed, leading to a chase that ended in an apartment, where they confronted another individual carrying a rifle, according to officials. Authorities later discovered three firearms at the scene, police confirmed.

    The partner was the only one who discharged a firearm, and according to a statement from city police on Friday, the

    “gunfire unintentionally struck Officer Rivera.”

    An autopsy confirmed that she was shot in the back. Rivera passed away at the hospital late Thursday, less than an hour after the shooting. She is survived by her 10-year-old daughter.

    When her colleagues transported her to the hospital in a squad car, the vehicle crashed and caught fire due to a malfunction, as reported by Police Superintendent Larry Snelling. She was then taken to the hospital in a different squad car. Police reported that the individual accused of brandishing the rifle has been taken into custody, although they did not specify the charges that may be filed against them.

  • Duo Accused of Brutally Attacking and Robbing NYPD Rookie, Arraigned on Attempted Murder Charges

    Duo Accused of Brutally Attacking and Robbing NYPD Rookie, Arraigned on Attempted Murder Charges

    The violent pair accused of brutally attacking and robbing an off-duty NYPD rookie in the Bronx has been arraigned on attempted murder charges, as reported by the NY Post. Prosecutors claim they beat him so severely that they left a shoeprint on his face.

    Officer Chowdhury Nafees, 27, laid in a hospital bed with a shoeprint stamped on his face after the violent assault by Wayne Lucas, 23, and Taveon Hargrove, also 23. A Senior Trial District Attorney urged that Lucas be held without bail in connection with the vicious attack that occurred on May 24 in Westchester Square.

    “These two individuals attempted to rob who they thought was a civilian. But upon pushing him to the ground, they found his uniform, learning that this was not just any old person, but this turned out to be an off-duty rookie NYPD police officer on his way to protect and serve,”

    said Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark.

    “Upon learning that he was an officer, they took this as an invitation to turn up the violence,”

    the DA said.

    Irace stated that the duo threw Nafees to the ground, with Lucas then holding a knife to the victim’s neck while his accomplice, Taveon Hargrove, went through his pockets and stole his loaded service weapon. Lucas was apprehended in Virginia last week and later extradited to New York. He pleaded not guilty as Judge George Villegas arraigned him on a 34-count indictment that includes charges of assault, robbery, grand larceny, and criminal possession of stolen property.

    Villegas granted Irace’s request to keep Lucas held without bail. Hargrove, also indicted, was captured in Virginia a day earlier than Lucas but is appealing his extradition. Lucas, who was wearing a wig to hide his identity when arrested, faces the possibility of 15 years to life in prison for the brutal attack. He is scheduled to appear in court again on September 12 and has no previous arrests, according to law enforcement.

  • Man Sues Universal Studios After Being Stuck in a Tilted Position on Faulty ‘Harry Potter’ Ride for an Hour, Lawsuit Says

    Man Sues Universal Studios After Being Stuck in a Tilted Position on Faulty ‘Harry Potter’ Ride for an Hour, Lawsuit Says

    A Florida man is taking legal action against Universal Studios after he reportedly remained stuck on a roller coaster in a tilted position for an hour, per Law & Crime.

    In a lawsuit filed last week in the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Florida, Casey Causey alleges that while on the

    “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey”

    roller coaster on July 2, 2023, the ride suddenly

    “came to an abrupt stop, stranding their cart midair at an angle that left him tilted backward and to the right.”

    “Plaintiff was stranded in this position for approximately one hour, after which the cart was moved to an upright position,”

    the complaint continues, adding that

    “the roller coaster was a defective product.”

    Causey has charged Universal with negligence, asserting that the theme park had a responsibility

    “to exercise ordinary care and skill to avoid foreseeable harm to Plaintiff and other similarly situated persons.”

    The lawsuit claims that the park created an

    “unreasonable risk of harm”

    by not addressing issues with the ride, despite park employees being aware that it was

    “defective,”

    which led to Causey sustaining injuries as a result. Those injuries include

    “bodily injury, resulting in pain and suffering, disability, disfigurement, scarring, mental anguish, loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, expense of hospitalization, medical and nursing care and treatment, loss of earnings, loss of the ability to earn money, damage to property, inconvenience, and aggravation of a previously existing condition.”

    Causey’s injuries stem from the park’s prioritization of profits over safety, the lawsuit argues.

    “[T]he defendants’ failure to fix the roller coaster, shut it down, or provide adequate warning of the potential stoppage was done out of desire to obtain money for ticket sales for the park,”

    Causey’s attorneys stated in the complaint. Additionally, the lawsuit claims that Causey has lost his ability to earn income as a result.

  • 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.

  • Pilot and Two Passengers Survive After Crashing into the Atlantic Ocean at Night

    Pilot and Two Passengers Survive After Crashing into the Atlantic Ocean at Night

    Three people survived a plane crash off the coast of Florida that happened at night, according to PEOPLE.

    On Sunday, June 1, around 8:30 p.m. local time, the pilot made a mayday call, said Sheriff Eric Flowers from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office during a press conference with ABC affiliate WPBF. The pilot was trying to reach Vero Beach Airport but crashed into the Atlantic Ocean just a few miles from shore.

    Luckily, a helicopter found three heat signatures in the water, and the pilot and both passengers were rescued, as confirmed by Air and Marine Operations, which is part of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Sheriff Flowers estimated that the three people were treading water for about 45 minutes before being saved.

    The pilot suffered the worst injuries, reporting pain in his ribs. All three were taken to Coast Guard Station Fort Pierce for a medical check-up. The crash is now being investigated by the NTSB and FAA.

    “This is just an incredibly heroic event,”

    Flowers said about the joint agency rescue.

    “It’s just an incredible story. I can’t wait for you guys to hopefully get to a day to talk to the people who were actually in the plane,”

    Flowers said.

    “Because, on our side, it’s phenomenal.”
