A Georgia couple allegedly fell asleep drunk on a Florida beach while their young children wandered away, according to Volusia County sheriffs per the NY Post.
The incident was captured on body camera footage by deputies, who made multiple attempts to wake Alyssia Langley and her fiancé Timothy Stephens. The footage showed the deputies nudging Stephens, who had his arm around his girlfriend.
Once the couple finally woke up, they appeared confused. A deputy asked them where their children were, and Stephens simply pointed towards the ocean while stumbling in the sand. Fortunately, the children, ages five and seven, were found safe but unsupervised, playing in the hotel pool nearby.
Langley and Stephens now face charges of felony neglect, and Stephens also faces charges for attempting to flee from police and possessing alcoholic beverages on the beach. In the body camera footage, he can be seen breaking free from the deputies and attempting to run away, before falling face first in the sand, knocking himself out.
Fox reports that Stephens is not the children’s biological father but has
“assumed a guardian role.”
“And clearly these two clowns shouldn’t be in charge of — they can’t be in charge of themselves, let alone a five-year-old or a seven-year-old,”
A father from Ohio has been arrested for continuously contacting his child’s school to express his frustration about excessive homework, reports the NY Post. Adam Sizemore, 37, is facing charges of telecommunications harassment and menacing after making multiple phone calls to the school.
During one of the calls, Sizemore allegedly threatened the principal, telling him he
“better put his big boy pants on,”
causing the school official to fear for their safety. When the school stopped answering his calls, Sizemore turned his complaints to the Oxford Police Department.
“He calls dispatch, I think it was 18 times, roughly,”
Oxford Police Detective Sgt. Adam Price told the outlet.
Sizemore can be heard on audio recordings, getting upset with dispatchers for not giving him their names. And when one of the dispatchers wouldn’t connect him directly to the police chief, Sizemore got increasingly impatient.
“He can come to my f–king house. I pay for him. He can come to my house,”
he told a dispatcher.
According to WXIX, dispatchers eventually dispatched a team of officers to talk to Sizemore. He was then taken into custody on misdemeanor charges.
A tragic incident occurred in Houston when a 1-year-old girl lost her life after being struck by an Uber driver, according to the Associated Press.
The driver, who had just dropped off the girl’s family at their apartment complex did not notice her in front of his car as he drove away, reports note. In response, the family members of the girl immediately pulled the driver out of his vehicle and physically attacked him.
“It’s just an unfortunate tragedy at this point,”

However, as he continued driving, he accidentally struck the girl and she was dragged for a short distance. Surveillance video shows the girl walking alone in front of the car just before the collision occurred.

Benoit said.
The driver was taken to a hospital and received medical treatment for injuries that were not life-threatening, as reported by Gonzalez. The investigation is ongoing, and at this time, no charges have been filed.

Recently, Terrence Howard took legal action against his former agency, CAA (Creative Artists Agency LLC), claiming a conflict of interest in the company’s management of his salary for the show
Howard alleges that CAA failed to adequately advocate for him during his time on the popular FOX musical drama, as the agency also represented the show’s co-creators and production company. Furthermore, Howard claims that CAA provided him with misleading information about the salaries of his white colleagues, resulting in a lower rate for his work.
His lawsuit reportedly stated,
“Not only did it become abundantly clear that his agents led him on a path to rely on information that was misleading, he discovered that this was the result of the fact that CAA was not acting in his best interest, but in the in the interest of their own financial benefit as well as the interest of the Production Companies and the producers, Daniels and Strong.”
In response to Terrence Howard’s allegations, CAA has now provided its perspective on the matter. According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline, the agency has strongly dismissed Howard’s claims as
“utterly meritless.”
CAA has submitted a motion seeking the dismissal of Howard’s lawsuit, stating that
“Howard filed his Complaint … asserting claims for fraud and breach of fiduciary duty premised on CAA’s alleged role as a ‘packaging agent’ on the television show Empire in December 2023—over nine years after Howard admits that CAA explicitly told him it was acting as the show’s packaging agent, seven years after Howard admits he suspected the alleged injury of which he now complains (i.e., that he was not paid enough), and more than four years after the highly publicized Writers Guild of America’s packaging lawsuit was filed against CAA (and other agencies), which Howard quotes in his Complaint.”

A Bahamas getaway turned into a horrifying ordeal for two mothers from Kentucky. Amber Shearer and Dongayla Dobson, lifelong friends, claim to have been drugged and sexually assaulted by members of the Freeport resort staff while visiting Grand Bahama Island during a Carnival cruise, per Fox News.
The women reported how they innocently sipped cocktails from a resort on the island and ventured out to collect seashells for their children on the beach.
“After the first drink, we had to get out of the office because we noticed it was just hitting so hard. I felt so out of it,”
Dobson told
“Good Morning America.”
Then they lost consciousness.
During their appearance on
“Good Morning America,”
the two women said that it was at that moment when individuals from the staff at the Freeport resort sexually assaulted them.
“I vaguely remember glimpses of his face,”
Dobson said.
“I don’t remember everything. I remember enough that he was a staff worker, he had a goatee, and he was a local.”
The toxicology reports revealed a combination of drugs in their systems. On February 4th, the Royal Bahama Police Force announced the arrest of two men, aged 54 and 40, in connection with the reported sexual assault. The names of the individuals were not disclosed. Upon their return to the United States, the women discovered that the Department of State had issued a level two travel advisory for the Bahamas due to the high crime rate.
“We didn’t know there was a travel advisory until four hours after we were raped,”
the women told local news outlet LEX 18.
“We want justice for what happened to us. We want to raise awareness for others,”
Shearer said.
“Be safe. Two is not a group. Do not buy any drinks that come unless they come in a sealed container, in a bottle.”
According to authorities, Marion County Sheriff Corporal Jordan Tripp witnessed a 2002 BMW speeding through a red light at 100 mph late on Sunday evening. Tripp immediately activated his emergency lights and began pursuing the vehicle. The driver, identified as 19-year-old Michael Joseph Gonzalez, eventually lost control of the car and veered off the road.
Tripp approached Gonzalez, but he quickly fled the scene, reaching speeds of 90 mph and endangering other motorists.

“Post Miranda, the driver advised he had fled from law enforcement because he thought he could get away with it and it would be fun,”
the affidavit said.
Gonzalez was apprehended by deputies and charged with fleeing and eluding, showing a reckless disregard for the safety of others and property. He was released from jail after posting a $5,000 bond.

A 39-year-old Houston attorney named Mason Herring has been sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years on probation after drugging his wife’s drinks in an attempt to induce an abortion, reports ABC Houston.
Herring pleaded guilty to injury to a child and assault of a pregnant person, although he had originally been charged with felony assault to induce abortion. Catherine Herring, who has filed for divorce, expressed her dissatisfaction with the length of the jail sentence. She shared that their 1-year-old daughter, who was born about 10 weeks premature, is facing developmental delays and attends therapy eight times a week.
“I do not believe that 180 days is justice for attempting to kill your child seven separate times,”
Catherine Herring said. Catherine told authorities she became suspicious when she fell ill after drinking from a cloudy cup her husband had given her. She later discovered packaging for the abortion drug misoprostol in the trash.
She handed over videos from hidden cameras in her home, showing her husband mixing something in her drink. Mason Herring’s attorney believes the plea deal and sentence are fair.
