Myrtle Beach man jailed after allegedly beating woman so severely she could suffer vision loss, report says
Georgi Angelov of Myrtle Beach was charged with assault of a high and aggravated nature and kidnapping in connection with the April 11 incident at a Myrtle Beach-area home, the report said.
According to the report, Angelov and the woman got into an argument about him allegedly being a drug dealer, and he slammed her face into a wall and punched her multiple times. By the time officers arrived, medics had already taken the woman to the hospital as a Level 1 trauma patient.
Medics told an officer that the woman's eyes were swollen and that she could not open them, the report said. They believed she had been unconscious for an unknown period of time.
The report said officers talked to the woman and a doctor at the hospital, who said that both of her orbital bones were broken and would require surgery. The doctor said the surgery could cause the woman to suffer vision loss, and that she also suffered a broken nose.
The woman told officers that Angelov would hit her anytime she tried to leave and that he took her phone so that she could not able to reach out for help, warrants show. She also said that he hit her in the back of the head with a Grey Goose bottle while she was curled into the fetal position and that her fake nails had been ripped off.
Angelov is being held without bond at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center. No further information on the condition of the victim was available.

Big Fourth of July rule change coming to Myrtle Beach after deadly shooting
Following the third shooting on Myrtle Beach's North Ocean Boulevard tourist strip this summer, the city has announced temporary changes to its juvenile curfew ahead of Fourth of July festivities. The curfew changes come after a recent deadly shooting at the downtown restaurant Peaches Corner. Grayson Meyers, 18, was shot and killed after a confrontation with a restaurant employee, Evony McCray, 17. In an announcement posted to Facebook, Assistant City Manager Josh Bruegger, who oversees public safety in Myrtle Beach, explained that those under 18 years old will have to temporarily adhere to new curfew rules. The changes will take place from Wednesday through Monday. 'The City of Myrtle Beach is working towards permanent juvenile curfew changes,' the announcement reads. 'We realize this will not be a 'fix all' solution to juvenile issues happening along Ocean Boulevard, but it is a step in the right direction.' According to the announcement, an executive order was signed on Tuesday morning by Myrtle Beach City Manager Fox Simons to temporarily expand juvenile curfew rules throughout certain parts of the city. The new curfew will begin at 10 p.m. and end at 6 a.m. the next day within a defined 'protected zone,' as well as all city parks and other city facilities. The protected zone takes up most of downtown Myrtle Beach and the Ocean Boulevard area, specifically the areas of Atlantic Ocean to Kings Highway, between 13th Avenue South and 21st Avenue North. Also included is a small extension west of Kings Highway to Broadway Street, between Seventh and Ninth avenues North. Outside of this zone, the standard city juvenile curfew from midnight to 6 a.m. will remain in place. There are several exemptions to this new temporary curfew. Minors may be in the protected zone during the enforced times if they are: Accompanied by a parent or guardian. Involved in an emergency or emergency errand. Engaged in employment or traveling directly to or from employment. In a vehicle engaged in interstate travel. Attending or traveling for a school, religious or government activity supervised by adults. Attending or traveling for a city-sponsored or civic activity that is supervised by adults. 'Exercising rights protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.' Married or otherwise emancipated by operation of law.

Missing Minn. Teen Found Dead in Landfill Weeks After He Vanished
A Minnesota teenager who was last seen on May 8 has been found dead Human remains found in a landfill over the weekend have been identified as Jordan "Manny" Collins Jr., 16, police announced at a press conference on July 1 Authorities have indicated it's a homicide investigation but have not named any suspectsThe remains of a Minnesota teenager who vanished in May have been found, authorities said, bringing a tragic end to a weeks-long search. Jordan "Manny" Collins Jr., 16, was last seen on May 8 in Columbia Heights, Minn., and reported missing on May 12, Columbia Heights Police Chief Matt Markham said at a press conference on Tuesday, July 1. Over the weekend, investigators found human remains at the Waste Management Landfill in Elk River, Minn., which have now been positively identified as Collins, the chief announced. Markham said authorities have been searching the landfill since June 4. The Midwest Medical Examiner's Office will determine the cause of death. 'I think the fact that a four-week search of the landfill illustrates pretty clearly the tenacity of law enforcement in bringing justice," Anoka County Sheriff Sheriff Brad Wise said at the press conference. "This is a complex investigation." Wise said that investigators obtained a "video that showed some evidence that would suggest the body might have made its way into a dumpster and into a garbage truck." Authorities have indicated the matter is being investigated as a homicide, but have not named any suspects. "Well, a dead body wound up in a landfill, so I guess draw your own conclusion, yes," Wise told reporters. Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

Collins' mother, Ashley Berry, spoke with KARE 11 before he was confirmed to be dead, telling the news station, "He's a really good kid, and anybody who's crossed paths with him knows that he has an old soul." A GoFundMe campaign created by Berry to help her with basic expenses had raised more than $8,000 as of July 1. "Since that day, my life has been turned upside down," she wrote on the fundraising page. "Every moment of every day has been focused on finding him — talking to authorities, sharing his story, posting flyers, and following every lead possible." Read the original article on People

Houston-area family sues Tesla over deadly Cybertruck inferno
The family of a Houston-area man who last year died in a burning Tesla Cybertruck after a crash is suing the automaker over what it says are defective safety designs. The big picture: The wrongful death suit appears to be the first against Tesla involving a Cybertruck, but the company is facing several others related to its autopilot technology in different models. Driving the news: The lawsuit, filed June 13 in Harris County, alleges Michael Sheehan was driving his Cybertruck near Beach City, about 30 miles east of Houston, when his vehicle left the roadway and flipped into a ditch in August 2024. Zoom in: The family says the crash was survivable but that Sheehan died when the truck's batteries ignited and he became trapped in the mangled wreckage. The lawsuit points to Tesla's battery design and energy-absorbing features when the truck is involved in a crash. Attorneys also allege Sheehan was unable to open the doors from the inside once power was lost and that the outdoor handles didn't open properly. Plus, they say "alternate interior door handles are unreasonably difficult to locate in an emergency." The lawsuit is also against a nearby bar in Mont Belvieu that the family alleges overserved Sheehan prior to the crash. The other side: Tesla has not formally responded to the lawsuit and did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Axios.
