#1:State trooper who arrested LGBTQ+ leaders in Philadelphia no longer works for state police
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The state trooper who arrested two LGBTQ+ leaders after a contentious traffic stop in Philadelphia is no longer employed by the Pennsylvania state police, officials said Friday.
Pennsylvania State Police Lt. Adam Reed said the trooper, who has not been named, no longer works for the agency, though it's unclear whether he was fired and when he left the job.
“I can say as of today, he’s no longer employed. I can’t offer any additional information, as we don’t comment on personnel matters," Reed said.
In March, Celena Morrison and husband Darius McLean were arrested after a traffic stop on an elevated stretch of highway in the city, part of which was captured on video. Morrison heads the city’s Office of LGBT Affairs and McLean runs an LGBTQ+ community center in the city.
The arrests led Mayor Cherelle Parker to weigh in, calling the exchange between the trooper, who appears to be white, and the Black couple “very concerning.”
The Pennsylvania State Troopers Association criticized the state police for not standing behind the trooper.
“This decision is reprehensible,” Union President Stephen Polishan said in an statement. “This young trooper, on the job for only six months, deserved better from our department.”
Lawyer Kevin Mincey, who represents the couple, declined to comment. He is preparing to file a suit against the state police and the trooper on their behalf.
The couple were detained for about 12 hours after the 9 a.m. March 2 traffic stop in which they were driving separately to take a car for repairs when a trooper pulled Morrison over after maneuvering himself between their two vehicles, according to their lawyer.
Morrison took a video on her cellphone of the trooper handcuffing McLean after he stopped his car behind the trooper. In the video, McLean is lying in the rain on the shoulder of the highway. The trooper knocked the cellphone from her hand, ending the recording, Morrison's lawyer's have said.
The couple's lawyers have also questioned the reason for the stop, saying the trooper would not have had time to run the registration before he wedged between them and pulled Morrison over. The trooper, on the video, said he stopped her for tailgating and failing to have her lights on.
“I don’t know why he’s doing this,” McLean cries to his wife as she recorded him being handcuffed.
“It’s ’cause I’m Black,” McLean says.
“It’s not ’cause you’re Black,” replies the trooper, who leaves McLean handcuffed on the highway shoulder and then moves to arrest Morrison.

Let her go! Let her go!' Fontana officer shoots armed man who put his partner in a headlock
#1:Let her go! Let her go!' Fontana officer shoots armed man who put his partner in a headlock
Two Fontana police officers pulled over a black sport utility vehicle in Yucaipa, and a male officer asked the driver about what appeared to be a missing front license plate. They chatted about camping in the snow — the vehicle had overland camping gear affixed to it — and the officer chuckled when the man said he had previously been arrested for having illegal fireworks.
The officer asked the driver, whom authorities identified as Alan Metka, 56, to step out of his vehicle. His partner, a female officer, would pat him down to make sure he did not have any weapons on him.
The female officer searched him, remarking on their obvious height difference, as the male officer returned to his police car to run Metka's information.

Seconds later, a shout rang out: "He's got a gun!"
"Let her go! Let her go!" the male officer yelled as he ran toward his partner, who was being held in a headlock.
The Feb. 9 encounter was captured on body-worn camera footage the Fontana Police Department released on Thursday.
During the struggle at Yucaipa Boulevard and 14th Street, the male officer shot Metka, striking him near the jaw, Fontana Police Chief Michael Dorsey said in a recorded statement released with the video footage. A loaded semiautomatic pistol was taken from Metka's pants pocket, he said.
The video footage shows the male officer telling Metka his front license plate was missing, which Metka denied, and that his window tint appeared too dark.

When the officer asked Metka if he had been arrested, he said that, about two years prior, he was arrested for "explosives in public."
"That's an interesting one," the officer said, chuckling.
Metka said the arrest was for possessing fireworks and that he spent 11 months behind bars.
The officer asked if he was carrying any weapons. He said no.
As the female officer patted him down, she asked: "What's this right here?"
"My gun," he said.
Then, the video shows, he grabbed her and put her in a headlock.
The male officer's gunshot cannot be heard in the video. But in footage from the female officer's camera, he groans in pain and blood can be seen on the road.

Dorsey said his officers were gang investigators who were in Yucaipa to assist the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department, which provides law enforcement service for the city.
Metka is being held at the West Valley Detention Center in Rancho Cucamonga on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon upon a police officer, resisting an executive officer and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to San Bernardino County jail records.
The incident is being investigated by the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department and District Attorney's office, Dorsey said. The Fontana Police Department, he said, "is also conducting a parallel administrative investigation, and we are cooperating fully with the investigating agencies."
Dorsey said that Metka has an "extensive criminal history," with prior arrests for assault with a deadly weapon, carjacking, robbery, possession of an explosive devise and illegal firearms possession.
Metka was also arrested in 2021 at a gas station in Fontana, where he was allegedly found with several illegal firearms and pipebombs, according to the Rialto Police Department.

Family fears Atlanta teen could have been trafficked after vanishing in rideshare
#1:Family fears Atlanta teen could have been trafficked after vanishing in rideshare
An Atlanta family is desperate to find a 16-year-old who they fear could be a trafficking victim.
Mekiya Smith hasn’t been seen since she got into a red Lyft after leaving Coretta Scott King Academy on Friday afternoon.
Police are investigating Smith’s disappearance and say her phone, which is no longer charged, pinged on Rainbow Drive in Decatur, which is more than 17 miles from her school.
The family told Channel 2 Action News that she does not have a history of running away and are afraid she could have been trafficked.
They shared an image from a doorbell camera that shows Smith wearing what she was last seen in: khaki pants, a white sweatshirt with pink writing, pink Nike shoes and a pink handbag.

Possibility teen's 101-pound catfish catch will lead to rule changes, new record category
#1:Possibility teen's 101-pound catfish catch will lead to rule changes, new record category
Widely trumpeted is that Jaylynn Parker’s 101.11-pound blue catfish, caught under a float attached to a bank line last month in the Ohio River, has been accepted as a state record under longstanding rules devised by the sanctioning Outdoor Writers of Ohio.
But insiders are quietly discussing the possibility of revising the rules. In other words, a decent chance still exists that the record book will be reconfigured when the sanctioning writers group meets in August.
Ohio's biggest blue catfish: Complaints, objections swept aside as 15-year-old girl claims record for 101-pound catfish
The addition of a category for fish caught on bank, trot and float lines is being considered, meaning Parker’s legally caught catfish could end up as a record separate from fish caught with rod and reel.
No guarantees, just talk at this stage.
The current all-tackle record category lists 42 species, all of them taken with rod and reel until Parker’s blue cat. The addition of another classification would leave Chris Rolph’s 96-pound blue taken from the Ohio River in 2009 as tops in the rod-and-reel group.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs asks judge to dismiss 'false' claim that he, others raped 17-year-old girl
#1:Sean 'Diddy' Combs asks judge to dismiss 'false' claim that he, others raped 17-year-old girl
Sean “Diddy” Combs on Friday asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit alleging that he and two co-defendants raped a 17-year-old girl in a New York recording studio in 2003, saying it was a “false and hideous claim" that was filed too late under the law.
The legal move is the latest piece of pushback from the 54-year-old hip-hop mogul and his legal team after he was subjected to several similar lawsuits and a subsequent criminal sex-trafficking investigation.
“Mr. Combs and his companies categorically deny Plaintiff’s decades-old tale against them, which has caused incalculable damage to their reputations and business standing before any evidence has been presented,” says the filing, which also names Combs-owned corporations as defendants. “Plaintiff cannot allege what day or time of year the alleged incident occurred, but miraculously remembers other salacious details, despite her alleged incapacitated condition.”
The lawsuit was filed in December and amended in March by the woman who now lives in Canada whose name wasn’t disclosed in the court filing. She said she was in 11th grade at a high school in a Detroit suburb in 2003, when Harve Pierre, then the president of Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment record label, flew her to New York on a private jet and took her to a recording studio, where she was given drugs and alcohol until she was incapable of consenting to sex. Then, the lawsuit said, Pierre, Combs and a man she didn't know took turns raping her.
The lawsuit included photographs of the woman sitting on Combs’ lap that she said were taken on the night in question.
The defense filing asks that the case be “dismissed now, with prejudice” — meaning it cannot be refiled — “to protect the Combs Defendants from further reputational injury and before more party and judicial resources are squandered.”
One of the plaintiff’s attorneys, Michael J. Willemin, said in a statement in response to the filing: “At this point, no one should take anything ‘diddy’ or his lawyers say seriously. Today’s motion is just a desperate attempt by Combs to avoid accountability for Ms. Doe’s allegations of gang rape and sexual assault. It won’t work.”
At this early stage in the lawsuit, the arguments are procedural rather than on the facts of the case.
Some of the lawsuits filed against Combs involve decades-old allegations and are among the more than 3,700 legal claims filed under New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily suspended certain legal deadlines to give sexual assault victims a last opportunity to sue over abuse that happened years or even decades ago.
The new deadlines established by that law expired, but the suit Combs filed the motion against Friday was brought under a different law, New York City’s Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Law. That city law also allows accusers to file civil complaints involving sexual assault claims after the statute of limitations has run out.
But Combs’ motion argues that suit was filed too late, because the city law is preempted by the state law, whose provisions mean the lawsuit needed to be filed by August of 2021 to be timely.
"New York state law trumps New York City law, without exception,' the filing says.
The amended version of the lawsuit filed in March sought to address some of these issues, but Combs’ attorneys argue that it didn’t go far enough.
The judge has ruled the woman will need to reveal her name if the lawsuit moves forward after this challenge.
The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they have been sexually abused, unless they come forward publicly, as some of Combs' accusers have done.
Friday's defense filing also criticizes the suit for including “a bolded, legally irrelevant ‘trigger warning’ calculated to focus attention on its salacious and depraved allegations.”
The public airing of allegations against Combs began with a November lawsuit by the singer Cassie, his former protege and girlfriend, containing allegations of beatings, rape and other abuse between 2005 and 2018. The complaint, filed by the same attorneys who brought the suit being challenged Friday, was settled the day after it was filed. Combs denied the allegations through his lawyer before the settlement.
More lawsuits against Combs were filed in the following months. Then on March 25, Homeland Security Investigations served search warrants on his homes in Los Angeles and Miami in a sex-trafficking investigation. His lawyer called it “a gross use of military-level force." The investigation is continuing. Combs has not been charged.
Last month, Combs filed a motion to dismiss a suit filed by Joi Dickerson, who said she was a 19-year-old college student when Combs drugged her and sexually assaulted her.

Gold bars, basement carpeting and more. Here’s what prosecutors say bought off a US senator
#1:Gold bars, basement carpeting and more. Here’s what prosecutors say bought off a US senator
Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey faces his second, distinct bribery and corruption trial in seven years starting Monday.
This new case is a complicated affair involving multiple gold bars, envelopes of cash, a Mercedes and a lot more that, prosecutors say, the powerful former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and his new wife (they got married during the alleged bribery scheme) obtained in exchange for helping a halal meat monopoly, granting favors for people from Egypt and Qatar and trying to influence a New Jersey prosecution.
Menendez, who has until June to announce if he’s running for reelection, has pleaded not guilty and denied all of the charges. He told CNN’s Manu Raju on Capitol Hill last week, “I am looking forward to proving my innocence.”
Also pleading not guilty and denying wrongdoing are his wife Nadine, who is also a named as a defendant, and two businessmen, Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, who have ties to Egypt and Qatar, respectively. Another man, New Jersey businessman Jose Uribe, on the other hand, has pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.
Here’s what prosecutors say the senator and his wife got:
Gold bars
Prosecutors say Hana and Daibes gave Menendez and his wife gold bars, which were seized by the FBI from the Menendez residence. After returning from a trip to Egypt and getting a ride home from the airport from Daibes’ driver, prosecutors say Menendez searched online for the price of a gold bar.
Envelopes full of cash
The indictment includes photos of piles of cash next to envelopes spread across jackets on which the senator’s name is embroidered. There are piles of $20 bills and $50 bills in one photo and $100 bills in another photo.
They also found cash in closets, a safe and Nadine Menendez’s safety deposit box. Some of the envelopes, according to prosecutors, bore fingerprints or DNA belonging to Daibes or his driver.
Total cash discovered: More than $480,000 in the home and more than $70,000 in the safety deposit box.
Later court filings that added charges in the case are more specific, describing bags full of cash being found on top of hangers in the senator’s basement and stuffed into boots in the closet.
Convertible Mercedes
The 2019 vehicle, which prosecutors value at more than $60,000, was parked in the driveway at the Menendez home when it was raided.
The indictment describes Nadine Menendez obtaining $15,000 in cash from Uribe in a parking lot the day before she picked the vehicle up and put $15,000 as a down payment. Uribe is alleged to have then hid his monthly financing payments for the vehicle.

Kentucky deputy jailer arrested, accused of sexually abusing an inmate
#1:Kentucky deputy jailer arrested, accused of sexually abusing an inmate
Christine Spencer was arrested on Saturday by the Stanton Police Department, court records show. Spencer worked as a corrections officer since fall 2023, Lacy, who oversees the detention center, told the Herald-Leader.
The Powell County Detention Center received information about Spencer being involved in a relationship with an inmate, and launched an internal investigation, according to its post on Facebook.
During the investigation, “sufficient evidence” showed Spencer was involved in the relationship and she was charged and transported to the Clark County Detention Center.
Spencer was charged with second-degree sexual abuse. She posted bond and was released, according to Lacy.
Lacy said in a statement the public should not worry about placing their trust in the detention center. He said he would place the cuffs on an employee himself.
“The trust our community places in the staff here at the detention center is a bond I take very seriously,” he told the Herald-Leader. “So in the rare instance when that trust has been broken, it’s important to be transparent and take measures for our accountability.
“We want to ensure that the public knows we won’t let impropriety stand with serving the community.”

NYC subway slasher apprehended after alleged assault on 11-year-old girl
#1:NYC subway slasher apprehended after alleged assault on 11-year-old girl
A lunatic reportedly armed with a box cutter is accused of slashing an 11-year-old girl in the head in a violent spree near a New York City subway station.
The NYPD arrested Shaquan Cummings, 30, on Friday afternoon and charged him with assault, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree. Cummings is accused of attacking the girl moments after he allegedly punched another 43-year-old woman, according to an NYPD spokesperson.
The incident happened at around 2:18 p.m. Friday just outside the 116th Street 6 subway station, the New York Post reported.
A man with a "box cutter" slashed the girl in the back of the head and cut her ear as she walked down the street holding her mom's hand, the report said.
The girl's mother, Gorzata Sladek, told the Post the attack was "traumatizing."

"Terrible. It’s terrible to see a little girl with her head cut, sliced in half and it’s just terrible," she said.
According to NYPD, the young victim was taken to NYC Health and Hospital/Harlem in stable condition. Sladek told the Post her daughter underwent surgery and required multiple stitches to close up the gash.
"She’s not doing well emotionally. She doesn’t want to go back to school. She doesn’t want to go outside anymore," Sladek said.

NYPD said the suspect, later identified as Cummings, fled after the assault. He was apprehended about a block away near where he allegedly punched the older woman in the face before attacking the girl.
The 43-year-old victim refused medical treatment, police said.
Video posted on social media shows cops surrounding the suspect as an angry crowd of witnesses closes in to confront the man.

Look Back: A quarrel between 2 Jackson Township farmers
#1:Look Back: A quarrel between 2 Jackson Township farmers
May 12—There was intense animosity between Jackson Township farmers James Williams and William Chapman in 1895.
The two men had a yearslong feud over a dirt road between their farms near Mud Pond and the village of Muhlenburg, which came to a conclusion with a fatal shooting.
Williams was tending to his 10-acre farm and walking on the dirt road when Chapman confronted him about trespassing on May 15, 1895.
The two men physically fought as the more muscular and younger Chapman, 38, was overpowering the older Williams, 63.
As Chapman was choking Williams, Williams managed to pull a revolver from his pocket and fired a shot, instantly killing Chapman.
Williams, a captain in the Union Army during the Civil War, never married and lived with several dogs in a hut on his farm. He surrendered himself to Constable John V. Johnson.
After Johnson confirmed the murder by finding Chapman's body, he arrested Williams and took him to the Luzerne County Prison where he was placed in Cell 15.
The next day, Williams gave an interview to a reporter for the Evening Leader, claiming the shooting was self-defense.
Williams was asked if he was sorrowful.
"No, I'm not. If I didn't kill Chapman, he would have killed me, and a man is a drunken fool to let another man kill him if he can prevent it," Williams is quoted in the Evening Leader story published May 16, 1895.
Williams also gave another motive to the killing as he claimed Chapman was abusive toward his own mother.
The Evening Leader reporter noted in the story Williams had a large gash on one side of his face from where Chapman struck him with a stone.
Williams' trial was held a month later, June 17, 1895, before Judge John Lynch in Courtroom One at the courthouse that once stood on Public Square, Wilkes-Barre.
At a time before the exchange of evidence called discovery, it was learned during the trial that Williams once lived with Chapman's mother when Chapman was a young lad. As the relationship ended, Williams purchased the 10 acres across Mud Pond and constructed himself a two room hut and an outhouse.
"Williams lived across Mud Pond and cultivated the land, selling his produce to merchants in Nanticoke. Williams cleared a dirt road between the two farms to make it easier for him to access the country road but Chapman maintained he was not entitled to use the dirt road," the Wilkes-Barre Record reported June 8, 1895.
Williams, who was represented by Attorney John McGahren, testified in his own defense telling the all-male jury made up of merchants, miners, a steam boat captain and a farmer, that Chapman first struck him with a rock causing him to fall to the ground.
Williams told the jury Chapman jumped on him and choked him until he managed to remove a revolver from his pocket and fired a shot into Chapman's stomach.
There was no post-mortem examination of Chapman, who was buried in Ceasetown Cemetery in Jackson Township.
The jury deliberated for two hours before finding Williams not guilty of murder on June 21, 1895.
"The verdict was received with applause by the audience and one man who gave vent to his feelings more vociferously than the rest was ordered up before the bar and Judge Lynch gave him a severe reprimand," the Sunday Leader reported June 23, 1895.
