    Florida Elementary School Principal Caught On Camera Choking and Beating Student With Cable

    A former elementary school principal from Florida is currently facing serious charges for allegedly holding a student in a chokehold, hitting them with a cable, and causing other disturbing injuries, as reported by the NY Post. 

    Dontay Akeem Prophet worked as a principal at Destiny Leadership Academy in Ocala. He was arrested over the weekend on charges of aggravated child abuse and false imprisonment of a child under 13, reports Click Orlando. Surveillance footage captured Prophet in the video trapping a male child inside a classroom for over 40 minutes, cited the Marion County Sheriff’s Office.

    The footage shows Prophet forcefully grabbing the student’s arm and proceeding to hold him down, placing him in a chokehold. The 33-year-old principal is also seen striking the boy with a charging cable, causing him to fall over. Additionally, the video captured Prophet twisting the boy’s ankle and slapping him in the face. 

    During Prophet’s arrest, the authorities presented him with the video evidence, as reported by Click Orlando.

    “I don’t know if you know this or not, but there’s a security camera in that room,”

    a deputy said in released body-camera footage.

    “There is?”

    Prophet replied.

    Prophet told police he was trying to stop the boy from hurting himself, reports reveal. Investigators say the video does not support his claims. Prophet is in jail without bail, according to Marion County records. Prophet was fired from the Destiny Leadership Academy, WESH reported. The school reportedly held a meeting on Monday to discuss the incident with parents.

  • 62-Year-Old Recipient Of Genetically Modified Pig Kidney Dies Weeks After Groundbreaking Transplant

    62-Year-Old Recipient Of Genetically Modified Pig Kidney Dies Weeks After Groundbreaking Transplant

    Richard ‘Rick’ Slayman, aged 62, who made medical history as the first person to receive a kidney from a genetically modified pig, has sadly passed away, as reported by the NY Post. The groundbreaking transplant took place two months ago at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. 

    Following the procedure, Rick was discharged and sent home in March, just two weeks after the transplant. His family and doctors announced this unfortunate news on Saturday.

    “Their enormous efforts leading the xenotransplant gave our family seven more weeks with Rick, and our memories made during that time will remain in our minds and hearts,”

    his family said in a statement.

    Slayman underwent a groundbreaking medical procedure to treat his ongoing dialysis complications. Instead of traditional methods, Rick chose to use animal cells, tissues, or organs. This decision was made to reduce his hospitalizations, which occurred every two weeks.

    “I saw it not only as a way to help me, but a way to provide hope for the thousands of people who need a transplant to survive,”

    he said in a statement at the time. 

    “Rick accomplished that goal, and his hope and optimism will endure forever,”

    his family said Saturday. The transplant team at Mass General said it had

    “no indication that it was the result of his recent transplant.”

    Previously, pig kidneys were only tested on brain-dead donors, and two men who received pig hearts both died within months. The main reason for failure is the human immune system rejecting the foreign animal tissue. However, recent procedures like Slayman’s involve using pig organs that have been genetically modified to be more human-like, increasing the chances of success.

  • Trans Woman Allegedly Runs Over Man, Then Kisses His Lifeless Body Before Stabbing Him 9 Times

    Trans Woman Allegedly Runs Over Man, Then Kisses His Lifeless Body Before Stabbing Him 9 Times

    A disturbing incident occurred where a woman intentionally hit a man with her car, then backed over him, and proceeded to kiss his lifeless body before repeatedly stabbing him, per the NY Post. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Karon Fisher, is reported to be a transgender woman. 

    The victim, Steven Anderson, 64, was simply going to pick up the mail in his Houston neighborhood on May 3 when the incident took place. Video footage captured the white vehicle speeding down the road and intentionally swerving to strike Anderson. The car then reversed and hit him a second time, pushing his body further down the street. 

    Witnesses quickly appeared on the scene, some pulling out their phones while another brought a pillow to cover Anderson’s body. Shockingly, the driver returned to the scene, flipped Anderson’s body over, straddled him, and kissed him before stabbing him several times. 

    Fisher, who was dressed in a black bra and high-waisted black shorts, attempted to get into another car while horrified witnesses watched. When she failed to enter the vehicle, she walked over Anderson’s body and left the scene on foot. Fisher was later arrested and charged with murder, evading arrest with a vehicle, and assaulting hospital personnel. It remains unclear whether the two individuals had a relationship.

    Despite being identified as male on court records, Fisher was referred to as a woman by the police. It was also discovered that at the time of her arrest, she was on community supervision for evading arrest in 2023. Fisher had previously been charged with prostitution in 2021, but the case was dismissed. She is scheduled to appear in court on May 24.

  • Celebrity Chef Madison Cowan Exploits Legal Loopholes To Evade Rent Payment For Over 4 1/2 Years, Claims Landlord

    Celebrity Chef Madison Cowan Exploits Legal Loopholes To Evade Rent Payment For Over 4 1/2 Years, Claims Landlord

    According to his landlord, celebrity chef Madison Cowan has been able to avoid paying over $145,000 in rent, per The Post.

    For the past four-and-a-half years Cowan avoided paying for his Brooklyn apartment by taking advantage of lenient eviction laws. 

    The landlord claims that Cowan, a former champion on the Food Network’s

    “Chopped”

    and

    “Iron Chef,”

    has accumulated 53 months of unpaid rent on his one-bedroom Boerum Hill residence.

    Cowan and his family have been living in the space since October 2019. Since January 2020, Cowan has not made any rent payments and has relied on legal tactics, such as repeatedly appealing eviction orders, to remain in the apartment on State Street.

    “I’ve never seen anything more absurd in my life,”

    said landlord Gus Sheha.

    “This is why people are getting out of New York. The system is completely broken and purposely set up to punish the landlord,”

    he added.

    “I’m out over $140,000 in rent, but I still have to pay for insurance, taxes, water,”

    he said.

    Celebrity chef Madison Cowan, took advantage of a pandemic-driven eviction moratorium from March 2020 to mid-January 2022. He is known for catering high-profile events for former President Bill Clinton, actress Scarlett Johansson, and other A-listers.

    Despite facing eviction orders five times, Cowan has managed to avoid being evicted by filing new appeals. 

    Landlord Gus Sheha and his brother John, who co-own the three-story building, recently discovered Cowan’s latest appeal when they arrived to evict him.

    Cowan claimed to have received advice from the state Attorney General Letitia James and even made a call to her office in front of them. Cowan is scheduled to appear in Brooklyn Housing Court to address the latest eviction attempt.

  • New York City Urologist Found Guilty Of Sexual Misconduct, Including The Inappropriate Use Of Sex Toys On Patients

    New York City Urologist Found Guilty Of Sexual Misconduct, Including The Inappropriate Use Of Sex Toys On Patients

    A urologist in Manhattan, Darius Paduch, was found guilty on all 13 counts of sexually assaulting his patients, reports NY Post. The victims included six boys, and the abuse took place from 2015 to 2019. Paduch, who worked at NewYork-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Medical Center and Northwell Health, would abuse his patients during private consultations. He would instruct them to masturbate or do it himself, use sex toys, and perform unnecessary rectal exams without gloves.

    “As a unanimous jury has just found, Darius A. Paduch leveraged his position of trust as a medical doctor for his own perverse gratification,”

    Manhattan US Attorney Damian Williams said in a statement.

    “For years, patients seeking needed medical care, many of them children, left his office as victims.”

    Darius Paduch is being sued by over 130 former patients for alleged sexual abuse and unnecessary medical procedures conducted without anesthesia.

    “For nearly twenty years, patients who trusted him for their medical care and treatment were instead brutalized by his degrading, sexually violating, and medically unfounded acts while the hospitals where he worked looked the other way,”

    Mallory Allen, a lawyer representing his victims said in a statement.

    “The jury verdict in the criminal case affirms that these heinous acts will not be overlooked, and the pending civil cases will ensure that the institutions who repeatedly prioritized profits over their patients will face consequences for their indifference in ignoring years of complaints,”

    the statement concluded.

    Darius Paduch, who has been in jail since his arrest in April 2023, could be sentenced to up to 60 years in prison for inducing minors to travel for unlawful sexual activity and other related crimes.

  • Homeless Woman Living Inside Supermarket Store Sign With Computer and Coffee Maker

    Homeless Woman Living Inside Supermarket Store Sign With Computer and Coffee Maker

    Contractors in Michigan found a woman living inside a grocery store sign with a computer, printer, and coffee maker, per AP News. 

    “She was homeless,”

    Officer Brennon Warren of the Midland Police Department said Thursday.

    “It’s a story that makes you scratch your head, just somebody living up in a sign.”

    The woman, whose identity remains undisclosed, informed the police that she had been residing within the Family Fare sign for approximately a year. She was found on April 23. The Family Fare store is located in Midland, Detroit in a retail strip, with a distinct triangle-shaped sign positioned at the top of the building. 

    The sign structure, measuring around 5 feet wide and 8 feet high, features a door and can be accessed from the roof, as stated by Warren per the outlet.

    “There was some flooring that was laid down. A mini desk,”

    he said.

    “Her clothing. A Keurig coffee maker. A printer and a computer — things you’d have in your home.”

    According to Warren, the woman managed to obtain electricity by connecting a power cord to an outlet on the roof. Warren suggested that the woman may have found an alternative route to the roof by climbing up from behind the store or neighboring retail establishments.

    “I honestly don’t know how she was getting up there. She didn’t indicate, either,”

    he said.

    Warren mentioned that the woman was cooperative and willingly agreed to leave. No charges were pressed against her.

    “We provided her with some information about services in the area,”

    the officer said.

    “She apologized and continued on her way. Where she went from there, I don’t know.”

  • TikTok Sues U.S. Government Following Newly Signed Law Banning The App, Says Users First Amendment Rights Are Being Violated

    TikTok Sues U.S. Government Following Newly Signed Law Banning The App, Says Users First Amendment Rights Are Being Violated

    It appears that TikTok is strongly committed to keeping its presence in the United States. The popular Chinese-owned social media app has recently sued the U.S. government in an attempt to block a newly passed bill that aims to ban the app nationwide. As previously reported, President Joe Biden signed legislation last month that gives TikTok until January 2025 to either sell to an American-approved company or face a ban across the country. 

    In response, TikTok’s CEO has been clear that the company intends to challenge the bill, which they officially did today (Tuesday, May 6th). TikTok, which is owned by the China-based parent company ByteDance, has filed a lawsuit arguing that the ban infringes on Americans’ First Amendment rights by

    “[stifling] their speech and [preventing] them from accessing lawful information.”

    “[The US government] has taken the unprecedented step of expressly singling out and banning [TikTok]…For the first time in history…Congress has enacted a law that subjects a single, named speech platform to a permanent, nationwide ban, and bars every American from participating in a unique online community with more than 1 billion people worldwide,”

    the lawsuit states. 

    US government officials have long advocated for a ban on TikTok due to concerns about Chinese ownership and potential data exposure. Former President Donald Trump has also supported the ban on TikTok, which is now being implemented by his successor. TikTok has filed a lawsuit to challenge the ban in the D.C. Circuit Court, but there is no information on the US response yet.

  • Intoxicated Middle School Teaching Assistant Arrested After Student Accidentally Drinks Her Vodka, Mistaking It For Mountain Dew

    Intoxicated Middle School Teaching Assistant Arrested After Student Accidentally Drinks Her Vodka, Mistaking It For Mountain Dew

    A teaching assistant (TA) at a middle school in Georgia was arrested and fired after a student mistakenly drank her bottle of vodka, thinking it was Mountain Dew, per the NY Post. 

    The TA, Alexandra

    “Nicole”

    Lambert, 39, was let go from Morgan County Middle School after a student took a sip from her bottle, believing it to be soda. The student realized the mistake and reported it to another teacher, who then brought the issue to the principal’s attention. Lambert admitted that the bottle contained vodka but claimed it was brought to school accidentally. 

    Morgan County Sheriff’s deputies were called and conducted a breathalyzer test, which revealed Lambert’s blood-alcohol level to be 0.259, more than three times the legal limit for driving in Georgia. Lambert was subsequently arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, specifically public drunkenness. She was then booked at the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office Adult Detention Facility.

    Morgan County Charter Schools acknowledged the incident in a statement addressed to parents and guardians, adding that Lambert

    “is no longer employed with our district.”

    The district added,

    “The safety of our staff and students is paramount, and we take all incidents seriously… We have zero tolerance for any behavior that could jeopardize their well-being.”

  • Elderly Missouri Man Confess To Strangling Wife In Hospital Due To Medical Bills, ‘I Did It’

    Elderly Missouri Man Confess To Strangling Wife In Hospital Due To Medical Bills, ‘I Did It’

    An elderly man from Missouri has been arrested after admitting to the tragic killing of his sick wife, reports the NY Post. It is alleged that 76-year-old Ronnie Wiggs suffocated his wife by covering her mouth and strangling her with his hands while she lay in a hospital bed. 

    The incident occurred at the Centerpoint Medical Center, where his wife, who was not named in court documents, was receiving treatment for a dialysis port replacement. When authorities arrived at the scene in response to reports of an assault, they discovered the woman unresponsive and without a pulse. Witnesses also noticed

    “suspicious”

    marks on her neck. 

    Initially, Wiggs had fled the hospital, but he later returned and was overheard confessing to the murder.

    “I did it, I killed her, I choked her,”

    Wiggs was heard saying by hospital staff, court records showed.

    Despite receiving medical treatment, Wiggs’s wife tragically lost her life after the attack. Wiggs was taken into custody, where he once again admitted to the crime. He described how he silenced his wife’s screams by covering her mouth and then proceeded to strangle her with his hands until she passed away.

    Disturbingly, this was not the first attempt on his wife’s life. During the investigation, Wiggs confessed to two previous incidents where he had tried to harm her during her hospital stays. He cited feelings of depression and financial strain as the reason for the attacks, as he could no longer afford to cover her extensive medical expenses.

    Wiggs is being held on a $250,000 bond as the legal proceedings continue.
