Ex-Alabama hoops player Darius Miles set to appear in court for capital murder case
A date has been set for former Alabama basketball player Darius Miles to stand trial for capital murder. Miles' trial will begin Dec. 1 in Alabama Circuit Court, more than two years after his arrest for his role in a fatal shooting in Tuscaloosa, per ESPN. The 23-year-old's co-defendant, Michael Davis, is currently appealing the verdict which found him guilty on capital murder charges in May and sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Miles is accused of 'aiding and abetting' Davis in the murder of Jamea Harris. Advertisement 4 Darius Miles' trial has been scheduled for December. AP Davis, Miles' childhood friend, was found guilty of shooting and killing Harris while she sat in the passenger seat of her Jeep — Davis was in a shootout with Harris' boyfriend, Cedric Johnson. Davis' defense attorneys argued that he was protecting himself from Johnson. Advertisement 4 Miles played in 53 games for Alabama from 2020-23. Getty Images Prosecutors allege that Miles was the one who supplied Davis with the gun prior to the killing of Harris. Miles' teammate at the time, current Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller, was previously tied up in the case as he was initially said to have knowingly delivered the murder weapon. Miller and Miles had been texting in the time leading up to the murder, and Miller drove to Miles' location with Miles' weapon in the vehicle to pick him up. Advertisement 4 Miles puts up a three-pointer in 2022. Getty Images However, Miller testified in Davis' trial, saying that he was unaware of Miles' gun being in his car. Miller has cooperated with the trial and hasn't been accused of any wrongdoing or charged with any crime. It's not yet known if Miller will be called to testify for Miles' trial as he did for Davis' trial. Advertisement 4 Brandon Miller testified in Davis' trial, as Miller was a teammate of Miles at the time and had contact with the two the night of the murder. USA TODAY Sports via Reuters Con Miles has been held in Tuscaloosa County Jail since his arrest on Jan. 15, 2023, which was the day he was also promptly removed from the Alabama men's basketball team. In three seasons for the Crimson Tide, the 6-foot-6 forward average 4.2 points and 2.3 rebounds across 53 total appearances.

Massive haul of methamphetamine seized in one of Minnesota's ‘largest meth busts' ever
Two men were arrested on Monday after law enforcement seized nearly 900 pounds of suspected methamphetamine worth approximately $1.7 million — in what authorities are calling 'one of the largest meth busts in Minnesota history.' '[Nine hundred pounds] of meth seized during two traffic stops in Minnesota yesterday, in a hit targeting drug trafficking rings you'll hear about soon,' FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino wrote in a post on X on Tuesday. 'We're finding them and crushing their operations. More to come. Thanks to our [U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration] partners for the coordination.' Advertisement Two men, 46-year-old Joel Casas-Santiago and 44-year-old Guillermo Mercado Chaparro, are facing charges for their alleged involvement in the crime, FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul reported. Last week, an undercover police officer reportedly purchased meth from Chaparro, and authorities proceeded to secure a court order to track his pickup truck, FOX 9 reported, citing the criminal complaint. On Monday, police saw Chaparro put two bags into a Jeep parked near his pickup truck. Casas-Santiago reportedly entered the Jeep, and the two men drove off in their separate vehicles. 3 A pick-up truck bed is filled with 900 pounds of suspected methamphetamine worth approximately $1.7 million. Dan Bongino/X Advertisement 3 Two men, 46-year-old Joel Casas-Santiago and 44-year-old Guillermo Mercado Chaparro, are facing charges for their alleged involvement in the crime. Ramsey County Sheriff's Office/Facebook Police later found and searched the Jeep, at which point they discovered 251 pounds of suspected methamphetamine. Law enforcement then obtained a warrant for the pickup truck, where they discovered an additional 638 pounds of methamphetamine as well as a drug ledger, according to FOX 9. Chaparro allegedly admitted to being involved in drug trafficking, and investigators believe both men are linked to a larger drug organization that operates out of Mexico, FOX 9 reported. Advertisement 3 The suspected meth was seized and brought back to the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office for proper disposal. Dan Bongino/X Casas-Santiago has been charged with one count of first-degree sale of meth within a 90-day period, while Chaparro is facing two counts of first-degree sale of meth within a 90-day period. '… In Minneapolis, [Violent Crime Enforcement Teams] arrested two men and seized the massive drug load — possibly one of the largest meth busts in Minnesota history,' the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday. 'Both suspects have been charged with controlled substance crimes.' Advertisement Bongino also took to X earlier this week with statistics he says demonstrate the FBI's heightened focus on violent crime and illegal immigration 'is working.' Over the last few months, the FBI has seized 22% more illicit drugs than in the same period last year, including more than 97,000 pounds of cocaine, over 7,000 pounds of meth and more than 2,500 pounds of fentanyl, he wrote. The FBI and the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
