    Georgia College Student Detained by ICE After Making an Illegal Right Turn, Police Say

    A college student from Georgia, who has been in the U.S. since she was 4, has been taken into ICE custody and is now at risk of deportation, all due to a wrong turn, according to Huff Post.

    Ximena Arias-Cristobal, 19, a student at Dalton State College, was pulled over by police in Dalton on Monday for turning right despite a “no turn on red” sign, as detailed in a police report obtained by HuffPost. Arias-Cristobal informed the officers that she had an international driver’s license, but she did not have it on her at that time. As a result, the police arrested her for driving without a valid driver’s license and for making an illegal right turn on red.

    A representative from the Dalton Police Department explained to HuffPost that officers must arrest anyone driving without a license and do not have the discretion to overlook that violation. After her arrest, Arias-Cristobal was taken to Whitfield County Jail. Arias-Cristobal’s family shared with ABC affiliate WTCV that the young woman is currently being held at Stewart Detention Center alongside her father, Jose Francisco Arias-Tovar.

    Arias-Tovar, was arrested two weeks ago for exceeding the speed limit by 19 miles. This facility is located near Columbus, Georgia. The outlet reported that Whitfield County has had a “jail enforcement model” agreement with ICE since June 2020. This allows ICE to identify and take custody of “removable” immigrants detained by state or local law enforcement.

    Arias-Tovar’s wife told the outlet that her husband has no criminal history, runs a construction business, and pays taxes.

  • Mother Allegedly ‘Tried to Run Over Group of Elementary Students’ After They Fled from a Fight, Police Say

    Mother Allegedly ‘Tried to Run Over Group of Elementary Students’ After They Fled from a Fight, Police Say

    A Louisiana mother is accused of bringing several children to a local school to engage in “fight other kids” before she allegedly “tried to run over a group of elementary students with her car,” per Law & Crime. 

    Lejonkica Sharp, 23, was arrested last week and charged with six counts of aggravated assault related to the incident. A news release from the Shreveport Police Department stated that the events occurred around 8 a.m. on Tuesday, April 29, at an elementary school located approximately 350 miles northwest of Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

    “Officers were called to Pine Grove Elementary after a parent reportedly dropped off kids to fight other kids … then tried to run over a group of elementary students with her car when things didn’t go her way,” the statement said. Another parent present at the school during the incident called 911. 

    The children allegedly hopped out of Sharp’s car intending to confront the caller’s elementary school-aged children. The caller explained that when her children ran away on foot, Sharp attempted to run them over. At least one of the children Sharp brought to the school was her own, according to Shreveport CBS affiliate KSLA. Investigators stated that when they reached out to Sharp, she claimed the caller’s children had been “throwing rocks at her car.” However, they reviewed surveillance footage from the school that presented a very different account of events.

    “Footage clearly showed Sharp deliberately trying to hit six children with her vehicle,” the release states. Authorities took Sharp into custody on May 1. “If you think the solution to kid drama is vehicular assault — we’ve got a spot for you, and it’s not in the carpool line. Do better, parents. Seriously,” the police department posted to its official Facebook page.

  • Bernie Sanders Is Unapologetic About Flying on Private Jets During Campaign Tour: ‘You Think I’m Gonna be Sitting on a Waiting Line at United?’

    Bernie Sanders Is Unapologetic About Flying on Private Jets During Campaign Tour: ‘You Think I’m Gonna be Sitting on a Waiting Line at United?’

    Socialist Senator Bernie Sanders won’t be apologizing for using private jets to travel across the country during his campaign against the wealthy.

    Sanders (D-Vt.) boldly defended his choice of transportation after facing significant criticism for flying private during his recent “Fighting Oligarchy” tour with far-left Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York.

    “No apologies for that,” Sanders, 83, told Fox News’ “Special Report” late Wednesday when asked about the backlash. “That’s what campaign travel is about. We’ve done it in the past. We’re gonna do it in the future.”

    “You run a campaign and you do three or four or five rallies in a week. That’s the only way you can get around to talk to 30,000 people,” he told host Bret Baier. “You think I’m gonna be sitting on a waiting line at United … while 30,000 people are waiting?” When questioned about the contradiction of his travel choice in light of his eco-warrior stance, Sanders said: “When was the last time you saw Donald Trump during the campaign mode at a national airport?”

  • Kentucky Father Allegedly Set House on Fire with His Two Teenage Sons Inside

    Kentucky Father Allegedly Set House on Fire with His Two Teenage Sons Inside

    A Kentucky father is accused of deliberately setting his house on fire while his two teenage sons were still inside, according to Too Fab. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of arson.

    Dustin Fields, 43, was arrested last week and charged with first-degree arson following a fire at his Franklin County home on April 30. When first responders arrived, they discovered his sons, 13-year-old Bently Fields and 15-year-old Rylan Fields, deceased, along with the family dog. During a hearing on Monday, Fields entered a not guilty plea and requested to be temporarily released to attend his sons’ funeral. However, the judge maintained his bond at $2 million.

    “I miss my boys,” he reportedly told the court. When asked about owning property during the hearing, he reportedly said, “I do but it just recently went up in a ball of flames, so there’s nothing but grass and a garage at the moment.”

    Investigators, using a K-9 from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, detected accelerants on his shoes and around the house, including the area where the teens’ bodies were found. Chief Dwayne Depp of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office informed PEOPLE that Fields was not present when first responders arrived but appeared shortly after. He reportedly provided “conflicting information” to investigators, with the Sheriff indicating that further charges could arise as the investigation continues.

    A GoFundMe created by a friend of Fields’ wife—who is not the mother of the two victims—revealed that she had recently sought an emergency protective order against Dustin for herself, her son, and her stepsons. The friend mentioned that the hearing was scheduled for May 7.

  • Police Searching for Texas Man Facing Murder Trial Who Removed Ankle Monitor and Went on the Run

    Police Searching for Texas Man Facing Murder Trial Who Removed Ankle Monitor and Went on the Run

    Texas authorities have reported that a capital murder suspect is currently at large after he removed his ankle monitor on the day he was supposed to go on trial, as stated by PEOPLE.

    In a social media update on Monday, May 5, the Kaufman County Sheriff’s Office announced that various law enforcement agencies are searching for Trevor McEuen, who faces capital murder charges. He was expected to appear in court for his trial on that Monday but instead took off his court-ordered ankle monitor around 5:30 a.m. and “left his residence,” according to the sheriff’s office.

    “It is currently unknown whether McEuen fled on foot or in a vehicle, and there is no description of the clothing he may be wearing,” the sheriff’s office said. “Authorities also have not confirmed whether he is armed. The public is urged to remain vigilant and not approach McEuen if spotted.”

    McEuen faces a capital murder charge in connection with the May 2023 shooting of his neighbor, 35-year-old Aaron Martinez, as reported by ABC affiliate WFAA, KDFW, and CBS News. Allegedly, McEuen told Martinez that Hispanics were unwelcome in the neighborhood shortly after he moved in, according to Martinez’s family.

    McEuen was arrested in May 2023 and was released on bond with conditions. He was arrested again in September 2024 for posting threats against Martinez and his uncle on social media. The suspect was held on a $2 million bond and was released after posting it last December. Authorities are now offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to his capture.

    A former college football player who played for both the University of Miami and the University of Maryland has been taken into custody on a second-degree murder charge, as confirmed by PEOPLE.

    Avantae Williams, 24, was arrested on Monday, May 5, in connection with the death of 32-year-old Keshod Harris. According to a statement from DeLand police, a physical altercation erupted among several men at McCabe’s Bar in DeLand, Florida, on Saturday, May 3. The former college athlete is accused of firing shots in the bar, resulting in Harris’s death.

    Williams reportedly escaped the scene following the shooting, which also left a bartender injured with “gunshot wounds to both hands,” according to a statement from the DeLand Police Department shared on Facebook earlier this week. “The bartender was taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries,” DeLand police added. Keshod Harris, 32, lost his life in the incident after being shot “multiple times in the chest,” according to police reports.

    Williams managed to evade law enforcement until his arrest on Monday. He faces a second-degree murder charge, according to Volusia County inmate records reviewed by PEOPLE. He is currently being held without bail.

    Williams is a former defensive back who spent two seasons with the Miami Hurricanes in 2021 and 2022 before transferring to the Maryland Terrapins in 2023. Once recognized as the top safety recruit in the nation by ESPN, his career at Miami ended prematurely in 2021 when the Hurricanes removed him from the team following an assault charge involving a pregnant woman, as reported by ESPN at the time, per PEOPLE.

  • Burger King Ordered to Face Lawsuit Claiming Whoppers Are Significantly Smaller Than Advertised, Reports Say

    Burger King Ordered to Face Lawsuit Claiming Whoppers Are Significantly Smaller Than Advertised, Reports Say

    Burger King must face a lawsuit alleging it misled customers into thinking that its Whopper sandwich and other products appear larger in advertisements than they truly are, as reported by the NY Post.

    In a ruling on Monday, US District Judge Roy Altman in Miami determined that it is plausible that “some” reasonable consumers in the proposed class action could be misled by Burger King’s advertisements. Nineteen customers from 13 states have accused the fast-food chain of significantly exaggerating the size of nearly all its menu items in both in-store and online promotions. They pointed to the way burgers are depicted as “[overflowing]” the buns, with the Whopper appearing 35% larger than the real product and containing more than twice the meat.

    Burger King admitted that its photographers “styled sandwiches more beautifully” than how they are presented by employees in restaurants. However, they argued that reasonable consumers understand that the purpose of menu board images is to showcase items in the most appealing way possible. Altman nonetheless found allegations that Burger King’s ads “go beyond mere exaggeration or puffery.”

    Altman claims that Burger King has allegedly exaggerated the size of its products “to a much greater degree,” particularly in advertisements after 2017, where the Whopper appears larger than in previous ads. “The plaintiffs’ claims are false,” Burger King said in a statement on Tuesday. “The flame-grilled beef patties portrayed in our advertising are the same patties used in the millions of burgers we serve to guests across the U.S.”
