Ex-NYPD cop gets 3-6 years for L.I. DUI crash that injured 2
George Moore, 40, pleaded guilty in the case back in November 2024. Nassau County Judge Howard Sturim told Moore he considered his years of police work before delivering the sentence, Newsday reported.
Moore was still an NYPD officer on the morning of Aug. 4, 2023, and was traveling from a night out in Rockville Center to his job in Queens, according to investigators.
Moore was behind the wheel of a 2014 Mercedes with a woman in the passenger's seat and speeding along the Meadowbrook State Parkway when he collided with the back of a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, police said.
The collision ended with Moore's vehicle upside down and engulfed in flames on the side of the road, cops said. Miraculously, both he and the woman in the passenger's seat survived the wreck. A woman driving the Jeep was also injured but survived.
'As a member of law enforcement, George Moore had a sworn duty to protect and serve the public, yet he did the opposite. He chose to violate that trust by driving while intoxicated and put lives at risk,' Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly said Monday. 'His actions were not only a betrayal of his oath, but also a stark reminder of the devastating consequences of impaired driving.'
Moore resigned from the NYPD after the crash.

Manhattan bomb plot foiled as feds charge NY man with building, stashing IEDs across city
A New York man is facing federal charges after allegedly building and stashing homemade bombs across Manhattan, including on active subway tracks and residential rooftops. Michael Gann, 55, of Inwood, was charged Tuesday with manufacturing at least seven improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using chemicals he bought online, according to US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton. Advertisement 'The safety of New Yorkers is paramount,' said Clayton. 'As alleged, Michael Gann built explosive devices, stored them on a rooftop in SoHo, and threw one onto the subway tracks—putting countless lives at risk. Thanks to swift work by our law enforcement partners, no one was harmed. That vigilance assuredly prevented a tragedy in New York,' Clayton said in a statement. Authorities say Gann's alleged actions included throwing an IED onto the Williamsburg Bridge subway tracks and hoarding explosives, some with shotgun shells, above Manhattan apartment buildings. He was arrested June 5 with another device on him, officials said. On Instagram on the same day, Gann reportedly posted, 'Who wants me to go out to play like no tomorrow?' 4 Michael Gann, 55, of Inwood, was charged Tuesday with manufacturing at least seven improvised explosive devices (IEDs) using chemicals he bought online.

Florida official under state investigation after hosting LGBTQ event
A protester makes a sign during a protest in San Francisco. Drag performances have because a flash point in culture wars, particularly in Florida where a local official is under investigation for possibly exposing children to a sexualized performance. File Photo by Terry Schmitt/UPI | License Photo July 22 (UPI) -- A small town elected official in Florida is under investigation by state Attorney General James Uthmeier for hosting a drag show that may have exposed children to a "sexualized performance." Uthmeier announced Tuesday he had subpoenaed Linda Moore, the vice mayor of Vero Beach, over a "Pride Tea Dance" held last month at the Kilted Mermaid, a wine bar she owns in the town on the Atlantic coast. However, it's unclear what charges Moore might face and questions remain concerning Uthmeier's legal basis for the investigation. Uthmeier's office cited evidence that the event was promoted as being open to all ages and included sexualized adult performers who "wore revealing attire and burlesque outfits while interacting with the children." "In Florida, we don't sacrifice the innocence of children for the perversions of some demented adults," Uthmeier said in a statement. The subpoena demands Moore turn over employee schedules, surveillance videos, contracts with performers, ticket sales records, the bar's age-verification protocols and other documents by Aug. 8. Moore told NBC News that the subpoena did not make sense to her because it did not accuse her of a crime. "We have the event every year; it's our gay pride event, and it is all ages," Moore told the news outlet, adding that the bar has hosted it for at least the past five years. "It's a family-friendly event, and then once the drag show actually starts, we tell the parents who have small children that they can't stay for the show." She said that the performances can be a "little racy" but do not include any nudity. Jennifer Pippin, a member of a local chapter of conservative parents group Moms for Liberty, called attention to the events at the Kilted Mermaid on social media. She alleged that Moore had violated Florida's "Protection of Children Act," which was signed into law by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in 2023. However, the law has been held up in court as federal judges have suggested it is likely unconstitutional.
