Glamorous television presenter left mortified after her 'messy' mugshot is released to public
Gloria Torres encountered legal problems after police responded a loud noise complaint in the northeast Mexican city of San Nicolás de los Garza on May 20 around 2am local time.
The 35-year-old model was in the process of being questioned by the cops on Cerro de Mamulique Street when she attempted to flee the scene in her vehicle and was immediately placed under arrest.
The Multimedios Television host was taken to a local police station, where she spent five hours before a judge saw her and released her on a bail bond of $206.
She seemed a bit embarrassed after her legal woes were made public and her arrest photo was released by the San Nicolás de los Garza Municipal Police Department.
'If I had known that they were going to leak that photo,' Torres joked in a social media post, 'they would have let me know so I could retouch it, because my hair comes out very messy.'
Torres also took to Instagram Story, where she vowed to reveal the facts that led to her arrest.
'I will give my version because obviously this is not going to stay like this,' she claimed. 'People with bad intentions want to damage my image.'
In a separate post, she claimed that her run-in with the law may have benefited her.
'There is no such thing as bad publicity, I think this has worked to my advantage,' she said.
Torres is the second Multimedios Television presenter who has had a brush with the law in three months.
Gisselle Sampayo and her boyfriend were arrested at their home in San Pedro Garza García on February 17 after a neighbor heard the couple arguing loudly and called the police.
According to local outlets, Sampayo's boyfriend is the alleged leader of street drug gang that operates in Monterrey, San Nicolas de Garza and Apodaca.
Sampayo was eventually released after the Nuevo León state prosecutor's office found that she did not have any links to her boyfriend's illicit dealings.

Guatemalan town struggles to recover after border shootout
Nearly two months after Mexican police crossed the border into this Guatemalan town in pursuit of alleged criminals, La Mesilla hasn't fully recovered. Like many remote border towns, it lives from commerce — legal and illegal — but locals say things still haven't returned to normal since Mexican state police drove armored vehicles into the downtown and engaged in a daytime shootout in June. On Wednesday, more than 600 Guatemalan police and soldiers carried out nearly two dozen raids in the surrounding areas, but managed to seize only two guns without making an arrest, according to the Interior Ministry. A criminal organization tied to Mexico's powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel controls the area, making locals reluctant to talk. A man who sells clothing in La Mesilla said that when he saw the shootout, he used the border much like the criminals do. 'I ran, left everything; it didn't matter, I ran to the Mexican side,' he said. 'We were afraid. When we saw that everything was alright, we returned, we grabbed everything and left.' That's similar to what led to the shootout on La Mesilla's main drag steps from the border. Mexican police chased suspects they had engaged with in Mexico who fled into Guatemala. ' People want to forget what happened, but there's still fear,' the young man said. The incident was similar to another border escape a year earlier when hundreds of Mexican citizens fled into Guatemala to escape the violence sparked by the competition to control border crossings between the Jalisco and Sinaloa cartels. Some of those Mexicans spent months in Guatemala as refugees. The cartels want to control the crossing of drugs, migrants and guns. Another vendor said sales still hadn't returned to normal. 'That Sunday (of the shootout) was the market day, there were a lot of people,' he said. 'Today we feel safer because there are more police, but sales haven't recovered.' The organization that authorities targeted Wednesday had been led by a father-son duo, who were both killed previously in a clash with Mexican police. Guatemala's Interior Ministry said Wednesday's operation was carried out in coordination with Mexico to attempt to keep the targets from escaping across the border. It was unknown where they had gone. Lusvin López, chief of the National Civil Police antidrug unit, said Wednesday's operation was in response the shootout in June. The United States government also provided support, according to the Interior Ministry, which didn't provide details.

American girl meets nightmarish fate after being abducted for ransom in Mexico
A teen girl from New Mexico was found brutally murdered and buried in a shallow grave in a Mexican border city after kidnappers demanded a ransom for her release, authorities said. The body of Dayana Llaguno, 17, from Hobbs, New Mexico, was discovered last week buried under about two feet of dirt in a yard at a home in Juárez near the Texas border, according to the Chihuahua State Attorney General's Office. Llaguno, who posted frequently on social media from the crime-plagued city, had left her home in New Mexico on July 16. She crossed the border in El Paso, Texas, with a family friend. Three days later, her family received WhatsApp messages demanding money to free her that included photos and videos, prosecutors said. Investigators later searched a home on Sierra Moncayo Street in the UrbiVilla del Cedro neighborhood in southeast Juárez and made the grim discovery. Llaguno's cause of death was asphyxiation by strangulation, prosecutors said. Authorities have not named any suspects. A spokesman for the Chihuahua Public Safety Department, Antonio Garfio, said that Llaguno originally traveled to Juárez to go shopping with her family friend before asking if she could visit someone she knew. She was reported kidnapped after she failed to return. The FBI declined to comment when contacted by the Daily Mail. The US State Department did not respond to a request for comment. Attempts to reach Llaguno's family were unsuccessful. The teen's Facebook profile is filled with photos and videos apparently taken in Juárez. She share her last images around the time her family received the text messages. One shows an empty street in Juárez with a time stamp of 4:20am. Another shows a photo of the teen posing as a song plays and lyrics flash on screen. 'I know I'm going to die, that's why I'm living like crazy,' a portion of the lyrics read. Juárez - once considered the most dangerous city in the world - recorded at least 95 kidnappings in the first six months of 2025, according to data released by the Chihuahua Attorney General's Office. Two of the victims were murdered and six were able to escape on their own. Of the 95 kidnapping victims, 20 held dual Mexico-US citizenship. Llaguno's death stunned her friends, some of whom questioned why she had traveled to Mexico.

Gruesome moment bullfighter is sent flying by furious beast as howling mob looks on
Gruesome footage captured a bullfighter getting violently blindsided by a charging bull in Mexico as a crowd looked on in horror. Spectator videos showed Roberto Pozos challenging a bull at a festival on July 22 in Xico, a city in Veracruz. As the crowd cheered, Pozos is seen kneeling to the ground as he faced off with a honey-colored bull. Suddenly, a black bull charged in from the other side of Pozos, sending him flying into the air as the crowd screamed. A second clip showed the man being throw into the other bull and getting gored in the head. Pozos can be seen writhing on the ground and covering his head as bystanders rushed in to try to distract the beasts. He then got to his feet and scurried away with his shirt soaked in blood. Pozos was airlifted to a medical center in Xalapa, the capital of Veracruz, to undergo reconstructive facial surgery. Pozos was seen writhing on the ground and covering his head as bystanders rushed in to try to distract the beasts 'Hello friends, how are you?' a smiling Pozos said in a video taken from his hospital bed the day after the frightening encounter. 'I'm sending you a big hug from the city of Xalapa. 'I'm feeling very well, thank God. 'It wasn't anything major, though. 'Everything went well with the operation. It's okay.' The incident occurred months after a matador was viciously gored by a bull at bullring in the state of Tlaxcala on March 1. The bull tore through Emilio Macías' left buttock and struck his femur. It also pierced the rectum, colon and right hip. He managed to get to his feet and run away with his shirt soaked in blood. Macías was taken to a hospital in Puebla, where he underwent an operation that lasted almost nine hours. Bullfighting is regulated by state laws in Mexico. The states of Coahuila, Guerrero, Sinaloa, Sonora and Quintana Roo prohibit the practice. In late March, lawmakers in Mexico City government reformed their bullfighting laws to ban the injuring and killing of bulls.
