Police chief suspended after concerns raised about out-of-work behaviour
A police chief has been suspended after serious concerns were raised about his behaviour outside of work. Staffordshire Police Chief Constable Chris Noble, who denies any wrongdoing, is under investigation by the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) for the matters which pre-date his employment with the force. The watchdog said it is also probing allegations that Mr Noble shared confidential information without a policing purpose. Staffordshire police and fire commissioner Ben Adams said his decision to suspend Mr Noble was a "neutral act" and has "no bearing on any indication of guilt". Mr Adams said: "Public confidence in the police service is vital so all allegations of misconduct must be fully and independently investigated. "In the interests of the public, Staffordshire Police and the chief constable himself, I have decided to suspend Mr Noble from his role pending the outcome of the IOPC's investigation. "Suspension is a neutral act, to enable an independent and thorough investigation to take place. It has no bearing on any indication of guilt and should not be seen as such." Mr Adams added: "I know that this announcement will come as a shock to many across Staffordshire, especially our hard-working officers and staff, but it is right that allegations of this serious nature are dealt with consistently and investigated properly and thoroughly." The police and fire commissioner said his team is working to identify a temporary chief constable. An IOPC spokesman said: "We received mandatory referrals from Staffordshire's Office of the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner on April 30, June 27 and July 29 this year in relation to Staffordshire Police Chief Constable Chris Noble. "The referrals relate to reports we've received raising serious concerns over Mr Noble's behaviour outside of his work duties. "The matters pre-date Mr Noble's appointment as Chief Constable for Staffordshire Police. "The IOPC is also separately investigating Mr Noble over allegations he shared confidential information without proper policing purpose. "That followed a referral in 2024 from the Office of the Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner for Staffordshire. "Our enquiries are ongoing." A spokesperson from the Chief Police Officers' Staff Association said: "Chief Constable Chris Noble completely and categorically denies any wrongdoing, and will continue to co-operate fully with the IOPC investigation."

Ghislaine Maxwell moved from Florida to minimum-security prison in Texas
Ghislaine Maxwell has reportedly been moved from a low-security federal prison in Florida to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in southeast Texas. The move, first reported by The New York Sun on Friday, comes a week after Maxwell's meetings with U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — President Donald Trump's former personal attorney — regarding dozens of people allegedly connected to Jeffrey Epstein. The pair spoke over a period of two days, during which Maxwell indicated she would testify before Congress if granted full immunity from future prosecution, among other conditions including a presidential pardon. It's not clear why the 63-year-old convict was transferred, though the 'sweetheart' deal places Maxwell in a prison that puts her much closer to her family, according to the Daily Beast. The Bureau of Prisons couldn't immediately be reached for comment. Its online inmate tracker didn't list a location for Maxwell as of Friday afternoon. Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 'for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade,' according to the Justice Department. She's appealing her conviction. The president's association with the pair has been under heavy scrutiny amid public demands for the DOJ to release the so-called 'Epstein files,' as well as reports that Trump was once close friends with the billionaire, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that he enjoyed spending time with Epstein. 'It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,' he told the magazine. Trump has since called Epstein a 'creep' and distanced himself from the sex offender, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitutes including a minor. Earlier this week, the president claimed he and Epstein had a falling out many years ago after the disgraced financier 'stole' teenage employee Virginia Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago club, where she worked in the spa in 2000. Giuffre later became one of Epstein's most vocal sex abuse accusers. She died by suicide in April, according to her family, who believe Trump may know more about Epstein's alleged activities than he's telling. Giuffre is not known to have accused Trump of wrongdoing, and he's denied any impropriety involving Epstein and Maxwell. Giuffre's family members and two other alleged Epstein victims sent a statement to media outlets condemning Maxwell's prison transfer. 'President Trump has sent a clear message today: Pedophiles deserve preferential treatment and their victims do not matter,' the statement said. A Trump administration official told one NBC News reporter the any assertion Maxwell is getting preferential treatment is 'absurd,' saying prisoners are often moved for a multitude of reasons including safety concerns. FPC Bryan offers the lowest level of restrictions in the federal prison system — a step down from the low-security FCI Tallahassee that Maxwell was previously in. Camp Bryan famously houses convicted Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes and 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' star Jen Shah, who was convicted in 2023 of running a nearly decade-long nationwide telemarketing scam. _____

Detroit faith leaders, community host rally to end violence against kids
After a recent string of violence killed and injured many young people, members of the clergy and the community gathered in the heart of downtown Detroit Friday to pray for peace and find solutions. "If you're ready to get into a fight, raise your hands!" said community activist Teferi Brent. Designed as a call to action, dozens of people made their way to the Spirit of Detroit statue early Friday afternoon for the Hour of Power, the kickoff to a citywide day of reflection and organization. "I pray that you dispatch us to our own communities, to our own blocks, to our own neighborhoods, and knock on doors and get in schools and do everything we can to turn this city around," said one speaker. Calling it corporate prayer, leaders shared their frustrations with the rise in violent crime and the need to empower one another. As a survivor of gun violence, Kurteiz Thompson says the rally inspired him to continue to advocate for his fellow neighbors. "I'm here today because of gun violence, which is going on in the city of Detroit, which is going on, myself and my family. I just want to give awareness to people that's losing their lives and the young people. I want to be here to help," said Thompson. Thompson says he felt compelled to attend because he wanted people to see the faces of those who have dealt with the consequences of crime firsthand. "They say the numbers are down, violence-wise, but it doesn't feel like it, and when it's a child being killed, it seems like it's three adults. So, regardless of your age, it doesn't matter," said Thompson. To close the demonstration, a group prayer was held in support of law enforcement to show solidarity for the work they are doing in the community.
