    Teen Charged with Allegedly Poisoning Mother’s Milk with Bleach, Police Say

    A 17-year-old boy from Florida was taken into custody on attempted murder charges for allegedly trying to poison his mother with milk laced with bleach, according to the NY Post

    The mother, whose identity has not been disclosed, said she poured herself a glass of milk on the morning of April 19, took a sip, and detected an “intense chemical” taste, as reported by Volusia County police to WESH. 

    Recently released bodycam footage captures the moment the mother and her other son detailed the incident to the police, who eventually discovered the suspect hiding in an upstairs room.

    “He put the Clorox in the milk,” the confused mother told the officer. “You poured it into your glass and had some — how much do you think you had?” the deputy asked. “I think I had a little bit, and I tasted it,” she responded. 

    The Volusia County deputy confirmed that the milk the woman drank had a strong odor of bleach. The 17-year-old suspect later admitted he intended to make his adoptive mother ill. He confessed to the act, stating he was unhappy with her and didn’t want to continue living with her. Although the mother did not report any immediate symptoms from the chemicals she consumed, she still requested a medical evaluation.

    Police indicated that it was her other son who called 911 after the incident. The suspect now faces charges of poisoning food or water, attempted felony murder, and aggravated abuse of an elderly person, as outlined in an affidavit.

    Sleeping Long Island Teen Arrested for DUI After Operating Tesla on Autopilot Along Connecticut Highway

    A drunken teenager from Long Island was taken into custody after police found him passed out in a Tesla that he had set to autopilot on a busy highway in Connecticut, according to the NY Post

    Nineteen-year-old Guido Reinoso Gallegos from Garden City was found slumped over the steering wheel as the self-driving car traveled down I-91 south in Wethersfield at a speed of just 30 miles per hour, with its hazard lights on. Trooper Charles Luby reported that he and another officer approached the Tesla with their lights flashing and sirens sounding to wake Gallegos, but he remained in a deep sleep.

    Officers were able to bring the Tesla to a stop when one of them positioned their vehicle in front, causing the autopilot to stop. They quickly checked on the driver to make sure he wasn’t experiencing a medical emergency. The teenager showed signs of impairment and did not pass a field sobriety test, reports noted. He was taken into custody around 12:30 am on Friday.

He faces charges of driving while intoxicated, reckless driving, reckless endangerment, and operating a vehicle at an excessively slow speed, as reported by state police.

    “At the end of the day, you’re sitting at the wheel, you’re supposed to be able to drive the vehicle,” Luby said. “If anything goes wrong, you’re supposed to be able to adjust for that.”Gallegos posted bail set at $1,500 and is scheduled to appear in court in New Britain next month.

  • U.S. Physician Receives Email from Immigration Officials, ‘It’s Time for You to Leave’

    U.S. Physician Receives Email from Immigration Officials, ‘It’s Time for You to Leave’

    A U.S. born physician reported receiving an email from the Department of Homeland Security instructing her to leave the country. Lisa Anderson, a doctor based in Connecticut, revealed that she received the alarming message from DHS on Friday, as first reported by NBC Connecticut, per CBS News.

    “It is time for you to leave the United States,” the email said. Anderson, a Pennsylvania native, stated that she has “no idea” how she got on the department’s radar. “The language seemed pretty threatening to whomever it might actually apply to,” Anderson told NBC Connecticut.

    The emails have been sent to non-U.S. citizens who entered the country through the CBP One mobile app. This action is part of President Donald Trump’s broader mass deportation initiative. This has also affected individuals who entered the country legally. Anderson isn’t the only American to receive this email. Nicole Micheroni, an immigration attorney from Massachusetts, reported receiving the same message on Friday.

    Department of Homeland Security’s Response

    “Do not attempt to remain in the United States — the federal government will find you,” warns the email, which Micheroni posted to Bluesky. The email stated that Micheroni had just seven days to exit the U.S. A senior official from DHS informed HuffPost on Monday that Micheroni might have been reached out to in error, as a non-U.S. citizen may have used her email address as their own.

    “CBP used the known email addresses of the alien to send notifications. If a non-personal email — such as an American citizen contact — was provided by the alien, notices may have been sent to unintended recipients. CBP is monitoring communications and will address any issues on a case-by-case basis,” the official said.

    Family Holds Funeral and Cremates Woman They Believed to Be Deceased, Only to Discover She Is Alive

    A family in New York is reliving a tragedy after mourning the “death” of a loved one, only to later learn that the family member is still alive.

She explained that her sister, Shanice Crews, had been reported missing in July 2021 when she stopped communicating and left her two children behind. In April 2024, local authorities informed the family that she had died in February of that year in an abandoned lot due to a drug overdose, with the autopsy revealing significant amounts of cocaine in her system.

    Hopkins was shocked and began to question whether her sister had been drugged because she did not know her to use drugs. “Did somebody like lace her?” said Hopkins, speaking with WROC. Due to the severe decomposition of the body, it was cremated right away. A funeral and memorial service was held in May 2024. The ashes were even mixed with those of their mother to create keepsake necklaces.

    However, they later discovered that those ashes belonged to a “stranger,” and the woman they believed to be deceased might be alive.

    Months later, Hopkins received a message from a stranger in Detroit who claimed that her sister was still alive. “Ma’am, I’m concerned your sister is not dead,” the message said, followed by a photo of a woman who Hopkins said is her sibling. “She just volunteered at my event today,” the message added. “Wtf,” Hopkins responded.

    Hopkins reached out to the Monroe County Medical Examiner’s Office, presenting them with the photos and messages she had received. She stated that they maintained the dental records confirmed a match. Additional DNA tests were conducted on family members that came out not to be a match, indicating that the remains did not belong to Shanice. She believed that “they couldn’t find out who this was and they wanted to close a missing person’s case.”

    Homeless Man Shocked to Learn He Won $1M on Scratch-Off Ticket

    A “loyal customer” of a downtown San Luis Obispo liquor store recently won a $1 million prize from a California Lottery scratcher, as reported by The Independent

    They indicated that this process typically takes about six to eight weeks. However, it may take longer if any unusual circumstances arise.

    On Monday, Sandy’s manager Wilson Samaan shared with The Tribune that he was present when the man who purchased the winning ticket. Samaan stated that the man bought two 777 scratchers along with some smaller ones on the evening of April 6 for a total of $25.

    He didn’t check the other ticket until he returned first thing the next morning while Samaan was on duty. Initially, Samaan said the man thought he had won $100,000—still a significant amount—but then Samaan pointed out that there was an additional zero, bringing the total to an incredible $1 million prize.
