    Mom Chases Down Man Who Stole Her Car With Child Inside, Pulls Him Out Of Driver’s Seat, Police Say

    A 48-year-old man is facing kidnapping charges after police say he stole a car with a child inside, according to WSBTV.

    On Monday evening, around 8 p.m., Holly Springs, police were called to a gas station about a car theft. Dispatchers informed them that a child was in the vehicle when it was stolen.  

    The child’s mother reportedly chased down the vehicle. When the suspect, later identified as Joseph Avram, stopped a short way down the road, the mother pulled him out of the drivers seat of her car. Avram then ran towards a nearby store and motel.

    Holly Springs police and Cherokee County deputies began searching for Avram after receiving his photo and description from security footage. They got his driver’s license details and phone number, then tracked his cell phone to a location in Atlanta near a Greyhound bus station.

    Atlanta police were alerted and managed to find and arrest Avram. He was taken to the Cherokee County Jail and charged with kidnapping and theft by taking.

  • 11 Members Of Amish Family, Including A 1-Year-Old, Hospitalized After Consuming ‘Toxic Mushrooms,’ Reports Say

    11 Members Of Amish Family, Including A 1-Year-Old, Hospitalized After Consuming ‘Toxic Mushrooms,’ Reports Say

    Eleven members of an Amish family in Pennsylvania, including a 1-year-old, were taken to the hospital after eating toxic mushrooms they found in the wild, as reported by CNN. 

    A family member from Peach Bottom Township told local authorities they got sick after someone brought the mushrooms home for dinner. Since the family doesn’t have a phone, the person who reported the illness had to walk about half a mile to a telephone booth to call 911, according to Gregory Fantom, a spokesperson for the Delta-Cardiff Volunteer Fire Company.

    The group consisted of a man, a woman, and their nine children, aged 1 to 39, according to Fantom.

    “It was wild mushrooms, but the hospital would have to confirm the type,”

    Southern York County emergency medical services Chief Laura Taylor told CNN.

    The fire department and EMS responded to the family on Friday night after they were informed that the 11 members had eaten toxic mushrooms and were sick. They were taken to WellSpan York Hospital, where all 11 were treated and released later that night, according to CNN affiliate WHP.

    Vehicle Drooping Off Shooting Victim At The Hospital Hit 3 Nurses, Critically Injuring 1

    A car speeding away from a Philadelphia hospital after dropping off a gunshot victim hit three nurses who were helping the patient early Saturday morning, leaving one seriously injured, according to officials, per the Associated Press. 

    The silver Jeep Cherokee had just dropped off the man at Penn Presbyterian Hospital around 4:30 a.m. when it struck the three male nurses, police reported. One 36-year-old nurse is in critical condition with facial injuries and internal bleeding. A 37-year-old nurse has head injuries, while a 51-year-old nurse suffered head and back injuries; both are in stable condition, police said.

    The 28-year-old shooting victim came in with several gunshot wounds and might have also hurt his head in the hit-and-run, according to police. Penn Medicine described the hit-and-run as

    “devastating”

    but said that the staff kept working to save the gunshot victim and care for all their other patients, even while their own coworkers were being treated. 

    Officials mentioned that they are offering support to the victims and their families and are working with the police, who are looking into both the hit-and-run and the earlier shooting. It is unclear what the status of their health is at this time.

  • Bus Driver Hailed A Hero After Spotting Five-Year-Old Girl Walking Alone Down New York City Street

    Bus Driver Hailed A Hero After Spotting Five-Year-Old Girl Walking Alone Down New York City Street

    An MTA bus driver is being hailed a hero after he saw a little girl walking alone in New York City, per Daily Mail. Luis Jimenez, 60, was finishing his morning shift when he noticed a five-year-old girl walking by herself on the sidewalk near 160th and Broadway on Tuesday afternoon.

    “We have a saying in the MTA – if you see something, say something,”

    Jimenez told ABC 7. The Harlem native watched the little girl through his front window for about a block before he pulling over. He called his dispatcher and asked a passenger to dial 911. 

    With help from the other passengers, Jimenez managed to get the little girl, who still had her school bag, safely onto the bus. Her school had reported her missing because she didn’t show up for class. The young girl has never gone missing, reports state. However, that day she decided to skip out on school to go to the pet store. The little girl’s fish had recently died, and she was trying to find a new pet to replace it, reports reveal. 

    She had already walked ten blocks away from her school when Jimenez noticed her. It so happened that Jimenez was supposed to call out of work sick that morning. His fatherly instincts kicked in, and he was able to make sure the child got back to her family safely.

    “My instinct as a father came on because if I see a kid in the street in need of help, I would want somebody to help one of my children or one of my grandkids,”

    he said.

    Police also mentioned that Ryan was carrying a knife and had methamphetamine and drug-related items with him.

  • Honda Recalls Close To 1.7 Million Vehicles Due To A Steering Issue That May Result In Crashes

    Honda Recalls Close To 1.7 Million Vehicles Due To A Steering Issue That May Result In Crashes

    Honda Motor Co. is recalling nearly 1.7 million cars due to manufacturing issues that could make it hard to steer the vehicles, per the Associated Press. This could potentially lead to accidents which is why Honda has gone ahead and informed government officials about the recall last week. The recall order was issued on Tuesday. 

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration explained that there might be a mistake in the steering gearbox assembly that could cause too much internal friction, making steering difficult and raising the chances of a crash. 

    The recall affects vehicles from the 2022 to 2025 model years, including some Acura Integras, Honda Civics, Honda CR-Vs, and Honda HR-Vs. The NHTSA began looking into this issue in March after receiving 145 complaints from Honda Civic drivers about their steering sticking, which made it harder to turn the steering wheel. 

    At that time, the NHTSA reported no accidents or injuries linked to this problem, and the recent recall order also didn’t mention any accidents or injuries. Owners will receive notification letters in the mail on November 18. They can take their cars to dealers, who will replace the worm gear spring and add grease as needed, all at no charge.

  • Father Struck By Car Driven By His 9-Year-Old Son, Was Allegedly Drunk While Giving Him A Driving Lesson

    Father Struck By Car Driven By His 9-Year-Old Son, Was Allegedly Drunk While Giving Him A Driving Lesson

    An Ohio man was injured after he reportedly tried teaching his young son how to drive while drunk, reports PEOPLE. 

    Clejuan Marquis Williams, 36, was allegedly

    “intoxicated”

    when he allowed his 9-year-old son to take the wheel on Sunday, Oct. 6. This information comes from an affidavit filed by Officer Nicole Tucker and reviewed by PEOPLE. 

    While his son was in the driver’s seat, Williams allegedly

    “instructed”

    him

    “to press one of the pedals,”

    but the child

    “did not know which one that was,”

    and accidentally

    “placed the vehicle in reverse,”

    according to the affidavit. The car then rolled back and hit a pole across the street, as noted by the officer, who spoke to several witnesses and referenced a video.

    Tucker alleged in the affidavit that the father

    “violated the duty of care and protection for his child by allowing him to operate a motor vehicle,”

    and that his

    “actions created a substantial risk of harm”

    to both the father and

    “the very young child standing right near the vehicle as this occurred.”

    Williams is facing charges for one count of first-degree misdemeanor endangerment of children by creating a substantial risk to their health or safety, as well as wrongful entrustment of a vehicle to a person who does not have a valid license, according to summonses issued in the cases and obtained by PEOPLE.

    He was taken to the hospital, but there’s no update on his condition, according to WTOL 11. Officer Tucker mentioned in the affidavit that Williams received a copy of the summons because he couldn’t be booked due to his injuries. It’s not clear if he was booked later at the Lucas County Corrections Center, but an online record shows he wasn’t listed as incarcerated since Monday. The affidavit also stated that no one else was reported injured.

  • Former Aide To Eric Adams Faces Charges For Witness Tampering and Destroying Evidence

    Former Aide To Eric Adams Faces Charges For Witness Tampering and Destroying Evidence

    A former New York City official was charged on Tuesday with witness tampering and destroying evidence in a federal investigation linked to Mayor Eric Adams’ bribery case, as reported by Huff Post. This arrest happened as more notable figures left Adams’ administration. 

    Federal prosecutors say that Mohamed Bahi, who stepped down as a community affairs liaison on Monday, told a businessman and campaign donors to lie to the FBI back in June. They also claim he deleted the encrypted messaging app Signal from his phone just as FBI agents were about to search his home in July. Prosecutors noted that Bahi had used this app to communicate with Adams.

    In a statement following Bahi’s arrest, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said,

    “The charges unsealed today should leave no doubt about the seriousness of any effort to interfere with a federal investigation, particularly when undertaken by a government employee.”

    “Our commitment to uncovering the truth and following the facts wherever they may lead is unwavering,”

    Williams added.

    Bahi, 40, from Staten Island, is the first person charged in the investigation besides Mayor Adams. Over six of the mayor’s top aides have resigned due to recent searches and subpoenas. Bahi was arrested on Tuesday and will appear in federal court in Manhattan. The first to resign was Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright on Monday, following her husband, the schools chancellor, and her brother-in-law, the deputy mayor for public safety. 

    The police commissioner and a senior advisor also stepped down from their position. All five deny any wrongdoing. Mayor Adams plans to stay in office after pleading not guilty on September 27 to charges of accepting about $100,000 in free or discounted travel, hotel stays, meals, and seeking illegal donations from foreign sources. He is also charged with accepting illegal donations from Turkish nationals and hiding the money by routing them through U.S. citizens.
