Deputy rescues alligator from backyard pool with bare hands: ‘Florida grown at its finest!'
A sheriff's deputy rescued an alligator from a backyard pool with his bare hands, impressing onlookers who called him, ' Florida grown at its finest!' Just over a week ago, on July 25, Deputy Nathan Richardson from St. Johns County Sheriff's Office kicked out an 'unexpected guest' lounging in the pool of a St. Augustine home. Police body camera video showed Richardson using a pool skimmer to guide the small gator to the edge of the pool before he grabbed it by the neck. The gator thrashed in the water before getting picked up and even managed to escape and tried to make a run for it on the deck before Richardson grabbed it again a few seconds later. 'I gotcha. You're fine,' the deputy reassured the hissing gator. 'I know. You're super mad.' As Richardson picked the gator up, one hand on its neck and the other holding its tail, the group of people at the house can be heard saying, 'You go' and 'Wow.' One of the onlookers joked, 'Obviously, you grew up here.' And it's true. The sheriff's office confirmed to The Independent Richardson is a Florida native. Upon leaving the home, someone can be heard saying, 'Florida grown at its finest!' Richardson is then filmed holding the gator by its tail while opening his patrol car to load it into the back seat. For extra safety, the deputy buckled the gator into its seat. Luckily for the gator, its trespassing adventure did not result in a ride to the station but to a nearby pond. 'The alligator wasn't happy its pool time was over, or about the ride in the patrol car, but it was buckled in and safely relocated to a nearby pond by Deputy Richardson,' the sheriff's office said in a Facebook post. This wasn't Richardson's first encounter with a gator, the sheriff's office told The Independent, although they weren't sure how many he had caught before. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says massive human population growth in the state, paired with a demand for waterfront homes and increasingly popular water-related activities, can cause more frequent human interactions with alligators. The commission advises people to never feed the gators and to keep their distance if they see one. People should also only swim in designated swimming areas during the day and keep their pets on a leash and away from the water.

Teacher pleads guilty to years-long sex abuse of 13-year-old schoolgirl
An Ohio teacher has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing one of her former students, beginning when the girl was just 13 years old. Stefanie Erin Kellenberger, 40, admitted guilt on Friday to four counts of third-degree felony sexual battery and 17 counts of third-degree felony unlawful sexual conduct with a minor, the Mansfield News Journal reports. The former Shelby Middle School English teacher now faces up to 15 years imprisonment at her sentencing on October 6 - just one day before her 41st birthday. Prosecutors say she began grooming the victim when she was 13 years old, and the sexual contact started the following year, after the girl turned 14. It then continued 'until the age of consent,' which is 16 in the state, Bryan Dove, assistant prosecutor for Richland County claimed. The crimes all occurred at Kellenberger's home in Shelby from February 2020 through October 2021. 'You had been a teacher. She had been a student,' Richland County Common Pleas Judge Brent Robinson told the former sixth-grade teacher. 'But at the time these occurred, you were not her teacher and she was not your student.' In court, Kellenberger's attorney also argued that 'consent was never an issue in this case' and Dove noted that there was 'no use of force' involved. Stefanie Erin Kellenberger, 40, a former English teacher at Shelby Middle School in Ohio, has pleaded guilty to four counts of third-degree felony sexual battery and 17 counts of third-degree felony unlawful sexual conduct with a minor Kellenberger was placed on paid administrative leave from Shelby City Schools in February 2024, after Superintendent Michael Browning said he received a call from the Mansfield Police Department that 'allegations were made' against the teacher. She was then officially indicted on the criminal charges in September 2024, and resigned from Shelby City Schools the following month. As the case against her progressed, the victim in the case recommended Kellenberger spend three years behind bars. But Judge Robinson said he did not support such a short sentence, and prosecutors came up with two different options - either she serve a 12-year flat prison sentence or 15 years with the possibility of judicial release after 10 years. Kellenberger opted for the latter option, and Dove said the victim is now 'relieved to not have to testify. 'That's why we entered into this agreement with the defendant,' he explained. Kellenberger will now be subject to fie years post-release control and must register with the county sheriff as a Tier 3 sex offender every 90 days for the rest of her life. She also agreed to avoid all future contact with her victim and to forever forfeit her teaching license in exchange for the possibility of being released after 10 years of good behavior. In the meantime, Kellenberger is to remain under electronic monitoring until her sentence. She may not have any contact with minors at the time and is to avoid any further criminal conduct.

Thomas Partey: Ex-Arsenal player charged with rape to appear in court today
Former Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey is due to appear in court today, charged with raping two women. The 32-year-old, who was charged four days after leaving the north London club when his contract expired back in June, faces five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. He is accused of two counts of rape against one woman and three counts against another. The sexual assault allegation relates to a third woman, the Crown Prosecution Service has said. The alleged offences took place between 2021 and 2022. The Metropolitan Police said it first received reports of an allegation of rape in February 2022. Partey's lawyer Jenny Wiltshire has previously said the Ghanaian "denies all the charges against him" - and looks forward to the chance to "finally clear his name". Partey joined Arsenal from Spanish side Atletico Madrid in 2020 and became a regular for manager Mikel Arteta, who last month said he was "100% sure" the club followed the correct protocols. An Arsenal spokesperson previously said: "The player's contract ended on 30 June. Due to ongoing legal proceedings, the club is unable to comment on the case." Partey made 35 appearances for the Gunners last season, scoring four goals.
