Soulja Boy arrested on suspected weapons charge during traffic stop
Soulja Boy has been arrested and charged with possession of a firearm during a traffic stop. The rapper, whose real name is DeAndre Cortez Way, was a passenger in the car that was stopped in the Fairfax area of Los Angeles early on Sunday morning, the LAPD said. "A passenger was detained and police arrested DeAndre Cortez Way for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm," the statement added. Possessing a firearm as a convicted felon is a felony. The 35-year-old was booked into jail in the LAPD's Wilshire Division shortly after 6am. It is not clear if he has since been released. Police did not provide information on what prompted the traffic stop and who else was in the vehicle with Way. Soulja Boy is yet to publicly comment on the incident. Read more US news: Soulja Boy is best known for his 2007 hit Crank That, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks and landed him a nomination for best rap song at the Grammys. The rapper was arrested and charged with a felony in 2014 for carrying a loaded gun during a traffic stop in LA. In April this year, the Chicago hip-hop artist was ordered to pay more than $4m (£3m) in damages to his former assistant after being found liable for sexually assault, as well as physically and emotionally abusing them.

FBI warns of a particular scam involving QR codes
Scammers are increasingly exploiting QR codes to trick people into revealing financial information or installing malicious software on their devices. The FBI has recently issued a warning about a particular type of scam involving QR codes on packages delivered to people who didn't order them. Recommended Videos The scammers are clearly playing on our curious nature, with the appearance of an innocent-looking QR code likely to tempt at least some people to scan it to find out more about the mystery package they've just received. But this could take you on a journey where you end up being tricked into handing over personal details such as financial information, or downloading malware that could pull data from your phone. 'While this scam is not as widespread as other fraud schemes, the public should be aware of this criminal activity,' the FBI said. The agency said the activity is a variation of the so-called 'brushing scam' where online sellers send you unordered items so that it can use your name to post fake reviews to boost the product's rating. 'In a traditional brushing scam, online vendors send merchandise to an unsolicited recipient and then use the recipient's information to post a positive review of the product,' the FBI explained, adding that in this latest variation, 'scam actors have incorporated the use of QR codes on packages to facilitate financial fraud activities.' The FBI is imploring people to beware of delivered packages that they didn't order, and to avoid scanning QR codes from unknown origins. The agency's warning comes at a time when QR codes are being increasingly used in scams besides those involving unsolicited packages. QR codes are being used increasingly by criminals, mainly because of their growing presence in everyday life. It means scammers are even sticking fake codes over legitimate ones, so you need to be on your guard when you hold your phone over one, especially when you're out and about. The New York Department of Transportation, for example, recently alerted drivers to a scam where criminals were sticking QR codes on parking meters. The code directed anyone who scanned it to a third-party webpage asking for credit card information. These days, most phone cameras automatically recognize QR codes and, unless you've turned off the setting, show you the web address that you'll land on if you tap it to proceed. So even with codes that you think you can trust, take a moment to read that address before going ahead. As for QR codes stuck on packages that you didn't order, just ignore them entirely.

Santa Ana family outraged after police shoot dog upon responding to disturbance call
A Santa Ana family is outraged after their beloved dog was fatally shot by police when they responded to reports of a disturbance at their home on last week. Police said that they were called to the home, located in the 2000 block of Orange Avenue, at around 8:30 p.m. on July 30 for a family disturbance call, according to the Santa Ana Police Department. They said that upon arrival, one of the two responding officers was attacked by the dog, which prompted the officer to open fire. Police claimed that they could not find the dog's owner, so they took it to a veterinary hospital in stable condition. Family members refute this, claiming that their beloved Belgian Malinois named Max, was struck by gunfire multiple times. They said that he was only barking but that he did not attack either of the officers. "Max collapsed and as soon as I seen that ... I was like, 'Stop treating Max like that, let him go that's my dog,'" said Luz Vega, Max's owner. "I did tell them that I was the owner, they didn't even pay attention to me they just ignored what I was saying and they were dragging Max by the neck, like with a stick to put him inside the car." On top of that, Vega says that they had to call around to several Orange County veterinarians to find out where Max was taken. By the time they found him, they were told that the injuries he suffered were substantial and eventually family members had to decide to euthanize him. Neither of the officers were injured in the incident. The Santa Ana Police Department says they are still investigating.
