A homeless Black man was shot and killed minutes after he was approached by sheriff’s deputies for allegedly jaywalking.

There is much current unrest in society regarding forceful race-related police interactions, in addition to public cries for defunding the police to ensure specially trained responders can assist in de-escalating situations where officers may have failed to receive specific instruction.

On September 23, around 1:00 pm, bystanders reported to the authorities that they saw a man as he wandered into the street while several cars were traveling on the road. The vehicles were reportedly forced to weave and use their horns to avoid running the man over.

Two women were nabbed while allegedly attempting to leave a Walmart store with stolen merchandise while the store was filled with law enforcement agents and families during the annual “Shop With a Cop” event.

Shop With a Cop, a nationally recognized effort supported by donations, tries to help families with children who have been victims of crimes or are suffering from financial hardships. Some of their outreach is meant to facilitate a trusting relationship between children and law enforcement in cases where children have had interactions with police during criminal situations. The children and their families meet at Walmart and law enforcement agents take children through the store filling baskets with toys and goodies they desire for the holiday season.

On the morning of December 10 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, local families were gathered with their children at Walmart so they could take part in the “Shop With a Cop” event.

A man has been accused of inappropriate sexual behavior toward a teenage girl after the authorities saw pictures he allegedly digitally sent to her, some of which were reported as showing his tattooed privates.

A 16-year-old female student recently told a safety officer at her high school that she had gotten text messages from a man that was a mentor at the outreach program she is a part of. The girl stated that the pictures were illicit in nature and that she did not ask for or expect them. One of them was allegedly a shot of the words “Fun Size” tattooed on the suspect’s penis.

The unique tattoo of the miniature Snicker’s candy bar catchphrase in addition to the other reported details led the authorities to suspect that Joshua Louis Hillyard, a 28-year-old man who provided mentoring for the outreach program, was the man the alleged victim spoke of.
