Menasha man fled crash, led pursuit, engaged in standoff, and will be arrested later on, police say
The Menasha Police Department said the incident took place July 18 at about 12:16 p.m. following a crash with injuries in Fox Crossing in the 1100 block of Appleton Road.
Witnesses said a vehicle fled the scene of the crash and it was later being reported to authorities that the vehicle was driving recklessly in the city of Menasha, according to police. Officers located the vehicle and a pursuit ensued, ending when the man drove to his residence in the 300 block of Naymut Street in Menasha, police said.
The man exited the vehicle and entered his apartment before telling officers through the door that he was the driver who fled the scene of the crash, but would be refusing to exit the apartment, according the police.
Police said negotiations went on for several hours and authorities were able to positively identify the man, but the risk of forced entry was too high in order to protect the safety of the people inside the apartment, which included a young child.
Authorities have not yet taken the man into custody but charges will be referred to the Winnebago County District Attorney's Office, police said.

Former Fort Worth private school piano teacher sentenced to 10 years for indecency with students, prosecutors say
A former piano teacher at Trinity Valley School in Fort Worth was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to five counts of indecency with a child by exposure, according to the Tarrant County District Attorney's Office. Trent Muse, 29, received what prosecutors described as the maximum sentence for repeatedly exposing himself to at least five students during private piano lessons in the 2022-2023 school year. In March, a group of parents sued Trinity Valley School over multiple reports of alleged sexual abuse by Muse, a former teacher whom they claim the school covered up for years. Multiple families alleged the school's negligence allowed more than a dozen young girls to be abused. According to the lawsuit, filed March 25, the incidents of sexual abuse happened over eight months during the 2022–23 school year, involving 16 girls ranging in age from 6 to 11 at the time of the alleged abuse. The lawsuit, which notes Muse was fired in April 2023, claims the school told parents that Muse left for personal reasons and "encouraged families to continue lessons with Muse off campus," and that there was "no cause for concern" regarding Muse's departure. Court documents show Muse was arrested in June 2024 and faces at least five counts of indecency with a child. Earlier this year, Trinity Valley School wrote in a statement: "Since the arrest of former piano teacher Trent Muse last year, Trinity Valley School has remained steadfast in its commitment to supporting our students and families and seeking answers as best we can. After the school received a report of an incident involving Mr. Muse in April 2023, he was promptly terminated from his position and a report was made to Child Protective Services. Upon learning of his June 2024 arrest, we immediately initiated a third-party investigation to understand the circumstances surrounding Mr. Muse's termination and the school's actions related to his departure. Out of respect for the privacy of those involved and due to ongoing legal proceedings, we are limited in what we can share publicly. However, we will continue to navigate this process with the compassion, sensitivity, and thoughtfulness our community deserves." CBS News Texas will continue to provide updates on the lawsuit as it progresses.

Modesto youth soccer coach faces child porn charges, police say
A Turlock man who coaches a youth travel soccer team based out of Modesto is accused of possessing and distributing child pornography, officials said Wednesday. Turlock's Police Department said a cybertip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children led to the investigation into and the arrest of Matthew Paez, 33. Paez was found to have uploaded child porn files "to an internet-based platform," police said. Several electronic devices found during a search of his home on Meandering Lane are being analyzed for additional evidence. None of the players coached by Paez are believed to be a victim, police said. Paez was taken into custody on Monday and faces one count of possession of child pornography and one count of distribution of obscene material involving a minor, police said.

Attorney says former Aramark employee at UI Health was not involved in shooting
On Monday, University of Illinois Chicago police arrested a contracted employee after he got into a quarrel with a patient inside the lobby of the UI Health Outpatient Center. UIC said the employee, Glenn Rhymes, had a gun, which was confiscated. UIC went on to say Rhymes was released from custody — only to go on to shoot two people. Now, the attorney for Rhymes said that is not true. There has been a lot of back-and-forth trying to figure out exactly what happened. The last report from UIC was that they were asking anyone who knew Rhymes to call police. But on Wednesday, Rhymes' attorney said police are not looking for him at all. On Monday morning, inside the lobby of the UI Health Outpatient Care Center at 1801 W. Taylor St., UI Health said UIC police arrested Rhymes — an employee of third-party foodservice contractor Aramark — when he got into a quarrel with a patient in the lobby. UI Health said Rhymes took out a handgun and "made a threatening statement." UIC said Rhymes was charged with entering a prohibited place with a gun, disorderly conduct, and aggravated assault using a firearm. All are misdemeanor counts. Rhymes' Firearm Owners Identification Card was revoked, his weapon was taken, and he was released. No one was injured, UIC said, until early Tuesday morning — when the university connected Rhymes to a double shooting. Police sources said the double shooting happened at 2:33 a.m. Tuesday in the first block of North Lavergne Avenue. Chicago police said the victims were walking outside when a black vehicle went by, and four men inside opened fire from within the vehicle. A 39-year-old man was shot multiple times, while a 35-year-old woman suffered a graze wound to the head. Both were taken to Stroger Hospital of Cook County in good condition and are expected to make full recoveries, police said. Bullets shattered glass doors in the Lavergne Avenue shooting, and police sources said close to 40 shots were fired. Sources said the 39-year-old man who was shot also worked for Aramark. "I don't know what has happened since Monday — only that I got a call from Mr. Rhymes indicating that it's on the news that they reported looking him for two shootings," said attorney Denise Brewer. "He knew nothing about it." Brewer contacted CBS News Chicago. She said that she is representing Rhymes, and that police are no longer looking for him. Brewer was asked if Rhymes has some sort of alibi to say he was not at the location of the double shooting in South Austin at the time that it happened. "He doesn't know where the shooting was," Brewer said. "But again, the police department has said that they're not looking for him." Chicago police do not release the names of suspects until they have been charged, and declined to connect Rhymes to the South Austin shooting. Police sources, however, have made that connection. UIC has not retracted any of its previous statements connecting Rhymes to a later double shooting. CBS News Chicago was waiting late Wednesday to hear the university's reaction to Rhymes' attorney's comments.
