    Florida Woman Who’s Lifeless Body was Discovered In Alligator’s Mouth Was Previously Arrested For Trespassing Two Months Earlier

    A woman’s lifeless body was discovered in the grasp of a 14-foot alligator. The victim has been identified as 41-year-old Sabrina Peckham, a homeless woman who had a history of run-ins with the law, reports the NY Post. Just two months prior to her untimely death, Peckham was arrested for trespassing on county wetland property.

    According to court records, Pinellas County deputies caught Peckham trespassing on July 14, just half a mile from where her body was found. Despite warning signs, she ignored the restrictions and was ultimately charged with a misdemeanor. After pleading no contest, she was released from the county on September 8 and ordered to pay a $500 fine.

    Peckham also had convictions for drug possession and theft, reports note. Medical examiners are currently working to determine whether the alligator attack was the cause of her death.

    The incident was first reported by a witness on his way to a job interview, who spotted the massive alligator carrying Peckham’s body in a canal along a residential street. He immediately alerted the nearby fire department, who swiftly took action. Authorities made the decision to euthanize the alligator, which measured 13 feet and 8.5 inches in length. Some neighbors claimed that the reptile was shot multiple times after being pulled from the water.

    The area where the incident occurred is close to Ridgecrest Park, which is known to be home to alligators. Residents have reported regular sightings of these creatures, but the alligator responsible for Peckham’s death was one of the largest they had ever encountered.

    Former Chicago Rap Mogul Evades Life Sentence By Cooperating Against Mexican Drug Cartel, Reports Say

    Rudy Acosta III, also known as

    “King Rudy”

    in the Hip Hop community, has avoided a permanent prison sentence by assisting authorities in a drug-related case that he was once involved in, according to Hip Hop DX

    Despite his involvement in distributing narcotics in Chicago since the 1990s, Acosta was released on Tuesday (September 19) for time served. Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Erskine praised Acosta as

    “one of the most prolific and successful cooperators with our office, probably in the last decade or so.” 

    The Legion Records founder and CEO’s cooperation in the investigation has led to charges against 36 individuals involved in drug crimes and public corruption. One notable figure among them is the late Senator Martin Sandoval, who pleaded guilty to corruption charges before passing away in December 2020.

    Earlier this year, Acosta III confessed to distributing cocaine as part of a plea agreement. While his activities mainly centered around Chicago, he claimed to have connections with suppliers in Mexico. Upon his arrest and subsequent custody, he spent approximately seven years assisting prosecutors in gathering evidence against individuals within his network.

  • Woman Attempts To Stab Dog For Eating Her Burger King Resulting In Horrific Injury To 1-Year-Old Niece, Police Say

    Woman Attempts To Stab Dog For Eating Her Burger King Resulting In Horrific Injury To 1-Year-Old Niece, Police Say

    A woman in Indiana is facing serious charges after allegedly attempting to stab her dog for snatching her chicken sandwich, reports Law&Crime. Tragically, she accidentally stabbed her 1-year-old niece in the neck instead. Sharon C. Key, 32, was arrested and charged with neglect of a dependent resulting in serious bodily injury and criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon.

    The incident unfolded on Tuesday night when law enforcement responded to a distress call at the Days Inn on Craig Street in Indianapolis. They discovered a 1-year-old girl with a stab wound to her neck. The child was swiftly transferred to Riley Hospital for Children, initially in critical condition but later updated to stable.

    According to court records, the victim’s mother, who happens to be Key’s sister, revealed that Key had requested to stay with them at the hotel. After being dropped off that morning, Key consumed alcohol throughout the day. Later that evening, the sisters returned from a Burger King outing. The mother laid her daughter on the bed closest to the window and then proceeded to shower her son.

    The mother claimed to have heard

    “loud noises from the bedroom so she walked out and saw that [Key] was holding a knife in her hand and [her daughter] was bloody and screaming on the bed.”

    Key expressed that it was an

    “accident”

    while the mother frantically wrapped a towel around her daughter’s wound and applied pressure. 

    The mother called 911 for assistance while Key attempted to flee towards the exit. Authorities eventually discovered Key hiding in some nearby bushes and arrested her. During an interview with detectives, Key reportedly confessed that her pitbull had snatched her Burger King chicken sandwich, leading her to become enraged. She allegedly grabbed her knife and pursued the dog, but in her attempt to harm the animal, she accidentally struck her niece instead. The investigation is ongoing.

    A Frontier Airlines flight that departed from Denver and was en route to Raleigh, North Carolina, had to turn back due to an odor reported in the cockpit, according to Denver International Airport officials per the NY Post

    The aircraft, an Airbus A321 operating as Frontier Flight 560, took off at 6:42 p.m. MDT and circled back to Denver after approximately 40 minutes into the flight. It landed safely at 7:10 p.m. and parked at the gate half an hour later. 

    The airport initially stated that the flight returned for medical reasons but later clarified that it was due to a mechanical issue.

    “Earlier this evening, shortly following takeoff from Denver International Airport, Flight 560 bound for Raleigh-Durham with 160 passengers on board, experienced a fume event which prompted the flight crew to return the aircraft to Denver and request support from emergency medical personnel as a matter of precaution,”

    the statement read.

    “A number of passengers and the flight crew were seen by EMS professionals at the gate. No reports of individuals requiring further medical treatment have been received.”

  • Indictments Handed Down As Video Shows 9 Jail Deputies Brutally Beating Black Man Amid Psychotic Episode, Resulting In His Tragic Demise

    Indictments Handed Down As Video Shows 9 Jail Deputies Brutally Beating Black Man Amid Psychotic Episode, Resulting In His Tragic Demise

    Nine corrections officers in Memphis have been charged in connection with the death of Gershun Freeman, a 33-year-old inmate who died after being beaten by the officers, PEOPLE confirmed. 

    The incident, which occurred last October, was captured on video. Stevon Jones and Courtney Parham are facing charges of second-degree murder and aggravated assault, while the other officers are charged with aggravated assault resulting in death. The indictment, released on Thursday, alleges that the officers acted together in committing these offenses. 

    Freeman had been in jail for four days for allegedly kidnapping and attacking his girlfriend before experiencing a psychotic episode. In the video obtained by PEOPLE, corrections officers are seen giving out boxed meals. As two officers approach Freeman’s cell, Freeman emerges completely unclothed with his arms outstretched. The officers swiftly rush towards the scene and begin to assault Freeman.

    The medical examiner’s report cited a pre-existing heart condition as the cause of death, however, the video footage and the indictment suggest that excessive force was used. In one part of the video clip officers are seen beating and kicking Freeman, who eventually goes still. According to the timestamped footage, an officer remained kneeling on him for approximately 3 minutes and 40 seconds while he was already on the ground.

    The officers involved are currently on paid administrative leave. The case is being prosecuted by Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk. Sheriff Floyd Bonner announced the indictment at a press conference. This case is just one of many incidents at the Shelby County Jail, which has seen 52 deaths since 2016.

  • Lawsuit Claims Kentucky Coroner Allowed A Corpse To Decompose In A Hot Car, Resulting In A Foul Odor That Caused Guests and Pallbearers To Vomit At Funeral

    Lawsuit Claims Kentucky Coroner Allowed A Corpse To Decompose In A Hot Car, Resulting In A Foul Odor That Caused Guests and Pallbearers To Vomit At Funeral

    A lawsuit filed by the estate of a deceased man alleges that a Kentucky coroner’s negligence resulted in a distressing incident at a funeral service, Insider reports. 

    According to the lawsuit, the coroner, Raymond Vancleave, left the man’s body in a hot car, causing a strong and unpleasant odor to fill the air. Funeral guests, staff members, and pallbearers reportedly became sick and vomited as a result. 

    The deceased, Nathan Dean Peyton, passed away on December 30, 2022, and Vancleave collected his body that same morning, the lawsuit stated. According to the claim, December 30 was

    “an unseasonably warm day”

    and Vancleave left Peyton’s body inside the SUV throughout the afternoon and evening of December 30, where it

    “rapidly decomposed while sealed within the body bag that was left inside of Raymond Vancleave’s hot motor vehicle.”

    Vancleave transported Peyton’s body to the state medical examiner’s office in Frankfort, Kentucky on December 31

    “for an autopsy that was not requested by the family,”

    the lawsuit said. When the funeral home owner retrieved the body on January 1, 2023, Peyton’s body had decomposed to such an extent that

    “the smell emanating from the body bag was pungent and putrid,”

    the lawsuit said. 

    According to the lawsuit, Peyton’s body was in a state of complete decomposition, making it impossible for the funeral home to embalm it. As a result, the body had to remain sealed inside a body bag and placed in a coffin.

    The closed-casket funeral service took place on January 6th and the

    “unbearable smell”

    caused several pallbearers, guests, and staff members at the funeral home to throw up, the lawsuit stated.

    “The family and loved ones of Nathan Dean Peyton were not able to properly say goodbye to him at a normal funeral due to the reckless and negligent treatment of his corpse,”

    the lawsuit said.

    Following the report by local CBS affiliate WKYT, it was stated that Vancleave has stepped down from his position as Morgan County Coroner.

    Social Media Outraged As Woman Films Herself ‘Sprinkling’ Brother’s Ashes In Ibiza Club Pool

    In a TikTok post that has drawn widespread attention, a woman can be seen dancing amongst a crowd in a pool at the famous Ushuaia club in Ibiza. Shockingly, she proceeds to pour what appears to be her brother’s ashes into the water, causing an uproar online.

    “Just me sprinkling my brother about Ushuaia,”

    said the on-screen caption as the woman is seen smiling and laughing it off. The video has since gone viral after it was first uploaded to TikTok and was later posted onto X (fka Twitter).

  • California Mom Becomes Quadruple Amputee After Consuming Contaminated Tilapia, ‘She Almost Lost Her Life’

    California Mom Becomes Quadruple Amputee After Consuming Contaminated Tilapia, ‘She Almost Lost Her Life’

    A California mother underwent life-changing surgery to have all four of her limbs amputated after she consumed contaminated tilapia, which reportedly contained a deadly bacteria, per the NY Post

    Laura Barajas, 40, had been hospitalized for several months before the surgery. According to her friend, Anna Messina, Laura who is a mother to a 6-year-old son, had purchased fish from a San Jose market and prepared it at home, she told KRON. However, just a few days later, Laura fell ill.

    “It’s just been really heavy on all of us. It’s terrible. This could’ve happened to any of us,”

    said Messina. 

    “They put her into a medically induced coma. Her fingers were black, her feet were black her bottom lip was black. She had complete sepsis and her kidneys were failing,”

    she added. According to Messina, Barajas contracted Vibrio vulnificus, a potentially deadly bacterium commonly found in raw seafood and seawater. As Onsite previously reported, a man from Texas was recently infected by the deadly flesh-eating bacterium after consuming oysters and unfortunately passed away. 

    “The ways you can get infected with this bacteria are, one, you can eat something that’s contaminated with it [and] the other way is by having a cut or tattoo exposed to water in which this bug lives,”

    UCSF Infectious Disease Expert Dr. Natasha Spottiswoode told KRON.

    She mentioned that this infection is particularly concerning for individuals with compromised immune systems. The CDC reports an estimated 150 to 200 cases of Vibrio vulnificus annually, with approximately one in five of those affected succumbing to the disease.

    Messina has since started a GoFundMe to aid the Barajas family in covering medical expenses and help with any necessary adjustments Laura will need. As of Sunday morning, over $39,000 has been successfully raised through this campaign.

    “Little did she know that this simple act would change her life forever,”

    the fundraiser said.

    “Laura has been in the hospital for over a month, fighting for her life, she is now a quadruple amputee.”

  • Teen Driver Arrested After Purposely Striking Retired Police Chief Riding Bicycle, Captured On Video Saying ‘Hit His A–‘

    Teen Driver Arrested After Purposely Striking Retired Police Chief Riding Bicycle, Captured On Video Saying ‘Hit His A–‘

    Video footage has emerged showing the deliberate killing of a retired California police chief while he was riding his bike in Las Vegas. The disturbing video obtained by the NY Post captures a teenage driver, accompanied by a friend, intentionally hitting the cyclist as they laughed. One of them can be heard saying,

    “Yeah, hit his a-s.” 

    The victim, identified as Andreas Probst, 64, was tragically killed during his routine morning bike ride at around 6 a.m. on August 14, as confirmed by Las Vegas police. According to The Las Vegas Review-Journal, authorities have arrested the 17-year-old driver of the Hyundai involved in the incident. The driver, who has not been named, has been charged with murder. 

    The arrest came after law enforcement discovered a video circulating on social media that captured the teen intentionally striking the victim. The horrifying video had gone viral, showing the driver jokingly asking his friends if they were

    “ready,”

    while the passenger filmed the incident and laughed. Encouraging the driver, the passenger says,

    “Yeah, hit his a-s,”

    just before the vehicle collides with the older man.

    The unsettling video begins with the passengers hurling profanities at passing cars while driving recklessly along North Tenaya Way, near West Centennial Parkway. The driver then veers into the bike lane behind Probst, honks the horn, and purposefully crashes into the back tire, causing him to fly into the air. Throughout the incident, the passenger continues to film, capturing the sight of the injured man lying defenseless on the roadside.

    “Damn that n—a got knocked out!”

    the passenger says as the driver speeds off from the scene. Probst was transported to University Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead, as reported by the Review-Journal. It is unclear whether the passenger who recorded the incident was charged. 

    According to reports, the ex-police chief of Bell, California, relocated to Las Vegas after retiring in 2009. Probst dedicated 35 years to a career in law enforcement, as reported by KLAS.

    “He was honestly like a ray of sunshine,”

    Taylor Probst said at a memorial service held for her father.

    MGM Resorts Cyberattack Victims Offered Free Lap Dances and VIP Membership At Las Vegas Strip Club

    A strip club in Las Vegas is offering free lap dances to customers affected by a cyberattack at MGM Resorts, reports the NY Post. Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club in Vegas is extending its services to those experiencing check-in delays by providing free luggage storage and airport pickup services. In addition, they are offering a complimentary $1,200 platinum VIP membership along with lap dances.

As members of the hospitality industry, we decided to do our part to help improve the guest experience during their visit to Las Vegas which will in turn alleviate the stress of the employees who are so diligently handling the situation,”

    Rose said.

    MGM Resorts International, based in Nevada, reported a cyberattack in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Wednesday. The attack caused a computer outage on Monday, impacting operations at numerous MGM locations.

    “MGM Resorts recently identified a cybersecurity issue affecting certain of the company’s systems,”

    an MGM spokesperson said in a statement.

    “Promptly after detecting the issue, we began an investigation with assistance from leading external cybersecurity experts. We also notified law enforcement and are taking steps to protect our systems and data, including shutting down certain systems. Our investigation is ongoing, and we are working diligently to resolve the matter. The company will continue to implement measures to secure its business operations and take additional steps as appropriate.”

    As a result of the cyberattack, MGM Resorts had to resort to manual operations, according to FOX 5 Las Vegas. The attack also affected the credit card machines at their properties.
