A few weeks after being released from the Mississippi Department of Corrections following a prior DUI-related case, a 50-year-old man from Decatur, Mississippi, found himself behind bars again for allegedly knocking out his girlfriend’s teeth during a domestic dispute.

According to the Neshoba County Sheriff’s Office, deputies received a report around 9:30 p.m. of a domestic disturbance in which someone may have been seriously injured. Dispatchers also warned responding deputies that the suspect might be armed.

When the deputies arrived at the location, they attempted to get the man inside the camper on the property to come outside. They said he initially refused but eventually complied, and that he resisted before being restrained and placed under arrest. After being seated in a patrol vehicle, the suspect allegedly continued to behave disruptively by yelling, hitting the interior of the vehicle, and damaging equipment.

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.

After a Missouri woman escaped from an alleged sex trafficking situation, a Kansas City man was arrested and charged with multiple felony offenses.

Investigators reported that the woman told police she first connected with the man through social media. What began as online communication allegedly led to the two staying together at an extended-stay motel for several weeks. During that time, the woman reported that she was pressured to engage in sex acts with numerous men each day, and the man allegedly set up the encounters.

The situation allegedly escalated a few days before she escaped. The woman told authorities that she was subjected to repeated physical assaults, including being struck, kicked, and choked to the point of losing consciousness. She also claimed the violence continued even after she experienced a miscarriage and that she was forced to continue participating in sex acts despite her condition. One allegation also involved a threat toward her child, with the suspect reportedly holding a knife near her 1-year-old son during a video call.

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. At the time this was written, both women were being held in lieu of $500,000 bonds.

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.

An allegedly tense encounter in a Miami neighborhood led to the arrest of a Florida man after the authorities said he threatened a couple with both a knife and a gun during a road-rage outburst.

The incident reportedly occurred on November 6, when a woman was slowly backing into her driveway along a residential street. Police reports noted that a passing driver became impatient as he approached and blasted his horn before swinging around her vehicle. He then reportedly stopped in the roadway, got out, and shouted angrily as she was still trying to park. Investigators later wrote that he confronted her directly and accused her of intentionally obstructing his path.

What began as shouting allegedly escalated quickly. According to officers, the driver behaved in a threatening manner and moved toward the woman while holding a pocketknife. She called out for her husband, who came outside and stepped between them. A brief scuffle reportedly followed, during which the driver still had the knife out and allegedly continued making threats toward both of them.

A Florida man allegedly claimed he had an extraterrestrial encounter that resulted in him being transported into a vehicle he was accused of stealing.

The series of alleged events took place in Volusia County and began in Ormond Beach, where a BMW owner briefly stepped away from his vehicle at Bicentennial Park while walking his dog. The car had been left unlocked, and the keys were reportedly sitting inside. Deputies later said someone appeared to take advantage of that opportunity and drove away in the convertible. A witness in the park recalled seeing a man who seemed disoriented get into the BMW. The witness later told the authorities that the individual had behaved oddly and had asked for help lighting a cigarette.

Not long after the vehicle was reported stolen, deputies spotted it traveling at extremely high speeds, estimated at more than 130 miles per hour. The BMW eventually crashed near a local intersection. When deputies arrived, the car was already in flames, and passing motorists had begun pulling the driver from the wreckage. First responders also worked to extinguish the burning vehicle. Body-camera video later released by the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office showed the man was injured and had blood on his face.

Police in South Carolina arrested a man after a domestic situation turned violent when his wife tried to keep him from getting behind the wheel while he was allegedly intoxicated.

Officers went to the couple’s neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon after receiving a call that a woman had gone to a nearby home. When the police spoke with her, she explained that the argument had begun earlier in the day over something small. She reported that her husband had been drinking, and tensions rose after she smoked the last of his cigarettes. She said he became upset and announced he was going out to buy more, despite her belief that he was intoxicated. She added that she thought he might hurt himself or someone else if he drove, so she grabbed his car keys and tried to stop him from leaving.

According to reports, they struggled, and the situation escalated quickly. The man’s wife told officers he hit her in the face, leaving her nose bleeding, and lunged at her several times before she fled to the neighbor’s house. She also mentioned that she had ongoing concerns about his health and drinking habits, saying her efforts to encourage him to get treatment often caused friction between them.

Authorities in Texas say a young child was placed in serious danger after she was captured on a property owner’s overnight camera roaming through a field in the early morning hours. The footage, taken around 3 a.m., reportedly showed a young girl wandering alone in the dark in temperatures that had dropped into the 40s. She appeared to be dressed only in a light outfit and was barefoot. The cam owner contacted the authorities a couple of hours later and reported the images.

Deputies immediately began searching the surrounding area. Not long into the search, the child’s mother contacted authorities and reported that her daughter had gotten out of the house earlier that morning. She said she had located the child around 4:15 a.m. but had not informed law enforcement until after sunrise.

When deputies arrived at the family’s residence, they reported finding conditions that raised concerns. The home allegedly contained trash, spoiled food, unsanitary clothing, and evidence of rodents. The toddler was also reportedly dirty, and the mother allegedly declined to provide fresh clothing or accept assistance.
