After collecting the driver’s license, the woman presented, it was reportedly learned that it had been suspended.

The situation worsened when the trooper told the woman that it was recorded that she had multiple warrants out of Georgia, and she would need to have the youngster’s father take a 90-minute cab ride to retrieve the child. It was chilly outside, and the trooper made space in his vehicle to allow her and the youngster to wait inside with his heater on. According to reports, instead of taking the trooper’s offer, the woman quickly drove away. He was able to follow her, and the woman ended up on a dead-end street.

A late-night crash in Milwaukee led to the arrest of a woman who allegedly left the scene of the accident and filed a false insurance claim to cover her losses.

On the evening of December 1, multiple 911 callers reported that a pedestrian had been struck by a vehicle that then left the scene. The injured man, later identified as a Lyft driver, was found unconscious but breathing. He was rushed to a local hospital, where he had to have multiple brain surgeries and remained in a coma.

When they arrived at the scene, police officers noted extensive damage to the driver’s car, which appeared to be consistent with being sideswiped by another vehicle. Pieces of vehicle debris were found around the crash site, and upon reviewing surveillance video from nearby cameras, it was observed that a light-colored SUV was traveling with only its lights on at the moment of impact. Paint transfer marks on the alleged victim’s vehicle appeared to match the color of the SUV in the video.

In the early hours of December 15, 2025, Howell County deputies were called to a residence after receiving reports that someone was attempting to break into a home. When law enforcement arrived, they saw two men near the property. It was reported that one fled into the surrounding woods, while the other got into a dark SUV. Attempts to communicate with him failed, and deputies noticed him repeatedly reaching into his waistband and pockets, raising concerns that he could have a weapon.

The deputies tried multiple measures to gain control of the situation. Taser deployments, pepper spray, and a K9 unit were all used in an effort to stop the vehicle, but the driver reportedly still got away, initiating a high-speed pursuit along the U.S. Highway, where speeds reached close to 100 miles per hour at times.

Tactical interventions were used to try to halt the vehicle, which eventually struck a telephone pole and later rolled over after colliding with a guardrail. The deputies were able to safely extract the man from the wreckage.

A pair of Pennsylvania caregivers was taken into custody after authorities learned of severe mistreatment involving their adopted teenage son.

School staff contacted police in early September when the 16-year-old arrived looking underweight after months without in-person classes. Investigators said he reported being confined to a nearly empty room under constant camera surveillance, punished for moving around, and denied regular meals, leading to significant weight loss. He also reportedly described being forced into cold showers, made to stay in the basement with minimal clothing, and at times bound to the floor with duct tape. It was reported that the teenager told officers he had been cut with a blade and threatened with additional harm. Child welfare officials removed him from the home, and medical staff helped him regain weight within weeks.

Both women were taken into custody and booked into the Jefferson County Jail. They are facing many charges, including more than 460 second-degree felony counts of unlawful restraint of a minor by a parent with risk of bodily injury, more than 460 second-degree felony counts of false imprisonment of a minor by a parent, two second-degree felony counts of endangering the welfare of children by a parent, six third-degree felony counts of endangering the welfare of children by a parent, two first-degree felony counts of aggravated assault with attempts to cause serious bodily injury with extreme indifference, one second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault with attempts to cause serious bodily injury with extreme indifference, one count of second-degree felony strangulation, one first-degree felony count of involuntary servitude, five second-degree misdemeanor counts of simple assault, five second-degree misdemeanor counts of recklessly endangering another person, three first-degree misdemeanor counts of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another, and one second-degree misdemeanor count of tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.

Authorities in Palm Beach reported that an incident unfolded in the midtown beach area late last month, leading to the arrest of a man accused of using a dead hog as part of a social media stunt.

Investigators allege that the individual brought the carcass to a public sidewalk and began filming himself as part of his online content. Reports described how the man allegedly cut into the hog before biting into the flesh, all while recording the encounter. The scene reportedly alarmed a passerby who believed she had witnessed someone mutilating a dog, and she called the authorities.

When officers arrived, they relied on details about a vehicle seen leaving the area and used a license plate reader system to help identify a suspect. When he was found and questioned by Palm Beach Police officers, the man allegedly acknowledged that he had been consuming raw meat from the hog and showed officers the footage he had captured. Some of that video was later uploaded to his social media account.
