Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman is released from jail and won't face criminal charges
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman was released from jail Monday afternoon and will not face criminal charges after he was arrested Friday evening on weapons charges during a traffic stop for vehicle code violations, jail records show. During the traffic stop, officials discovered five firearms, including two assault weapons, in Perryman's car, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said in a statement. Perryman, 32, was booked on felony charges for possessing assault weapons and held without bail, but prosecutors did not file charges, according to jail records. He was released around 1:00 p.m., which means his arrest will be listed as a detention on his record. The LA County District Attorney's Office did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment. A spokesperson for the Chargers also did not respond to an email seeking comment. Perryman, an 11-year NFL veteran, has also played for the Houston Texans and the Las Vegas Raiders. He is in his second stint with the Chargers after rejoining the team before the 2024 season.

New Zealand woman arrested after toddler found in suitcase on bus
Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Authorities in New Zealand have arrested a 27-year-old woman after a 2-year-old girl was found stuffed into a suitcase on a bus. The unidentified woman has been charged with ill-treatment or neglect of a child and was scheduled to appear in court on Monday. She was arrested on Sunday after police were called at about 12:50 a.m. local time when a passenger bus arrived at a planned stop in Kaiwaka, about 60 miles north of Auckland, and the driver noticed a bag moving in the luggage compartment. "When the driver opened the suitcase, they discovered the 2-year-old girl," Detective Inspector Simon Harrison said in a statement. "The little girl was reported to be very hot, but otherwise appeared physically unharmed." The child has since been transported to a hospital where she remains, undergoing what authorities called an extensive medical assessment. Authorities did not state the relationship between the woman and the child. "We would like to acknowledge and commend the bus driver, who noticed something wasn't right and took immediate action, preventing what could have been a far worse outcome," Harrison said. Oranga Tamariki, New Zealand's Ministry for Children, has been notified.
