According to reports, the child was outside near her driveway with her brother on October 13. They were playing in the dirt close to an alley when she was allegedly struck by a passing SUV.

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 Texas man reportedly posing as a sports representative for an NBA player visited a Tiffany & Co. store in Florida and allegedly swallowed over $750,000 worth of jewelry in a purported attempt to steal the high-priced merchandise.

On February 26, a man visited a Tiffany and Co. store in Orlando and reportedly introduced himself as a representative for an Orlando Magic basketball player. It was reported that the man said he was sent by the player to buy two pairs of earrings and a ring. After pointing out the desired $1,356,500 worth of jewelry, the man was taken to a private VIP room to view the pricy pieces.
