Enraged Wisconsin motorist caught on video thrashing ‘idiot' driver's car with stick in road rage rampage
A stick-swinging Wisconsin motorist went berserk and thrashed another driver's car in the middle of traffic during a road rage rampage caught on camera.
The explosive footage captured the blood-soaked driver, identified as Mike Chaltry, storming out of his car and violently smashing the windows of a white Nissan behind him with a stick on a busy downtown Milwaukee freeway Tuesday afternoon.
The Nissan quickly backed up during the chaotic attack and then lunged forward, nearly pinning the frenzied man against another car before attempting to speed off, the dramatic video showed.

But Chaltry followed the car on foot and landed a few final whacks before the fiery clash fizzled out.
'I'm not the one who started it,' Chaltry told WISN 12 News following the tempestuous scuffle, admitting that he's now the 'face of road rage' in Milwaukee.
'I mean, he was driving like an idiot.'
Chaltry claimed the intense encounter began when the other driver recklessly tried to cut him off on the highway as their bumpers nearly collided.
The loose cannon recounted how the hot-headed motorist allegedly followed him off the highway before walking up to his driver's side window when they were stopped at a light and punching him multiple times in the face — prompting Chaltry to grab his stick and start swinging.

'He sucker punched me through the window of my car and broke my nose – I got stitches,' Chaltry told the outlet, noting that he 'didn't see it coming.'
'He put my life in danger three times. When he hit me on the highway, when he punched me in the head and when he tried hitting me with his car. I think you saw that in the video. There's no need for that. I just don't get it. I was angry, but I had good reason to be angry. He didn't.'

Cops later arrested the unidentified Nissan driver for suspected battery — and hit him with citations for driving without both insurance and registration, the local outlet reported.
Chaltry also faces possible charges for disorderly conduct and criminal damage to property after his case was referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office.

Massive cocaine haul valued at £100m seized at UK port
Border Force officers have seized 2.4 tonnes of cocaine with a value of almost £100 million in one of the biggest drugs busts in years. The enormous haul was found under containers on a ship arriving into London Gateway port from Panama, the Home Office said. Specialist officers detected the shipment earlier this month after carrying out an intelligence-led operation. With help from the port operator, they moved 37 large containers to get at the stash. Worth an estimated £96 million, it marks the sixth-largest cocaine seizure since records began. Minister for migration and citizenship Seema Malhotra said: 'Drugs gangs trying to import illegal substances into the UK are a blight on society and we will leave no stone left unturned in our pursuit of organised crime gangs inflicting addiction, misery and death upon Britain's communities. 'Well done to Border Force Maritime officers on a hugely successful operation, which has struck a major blow against the criminals threatening our country.' Cocaine-related deaths in England and Wales rose by 31% between 2022 and 2023, the Home Office said. Border Force Maritime director Charlie Eastaugh said: 'This seizure – one of the largest of its kind – is just one example of how dedicated Border Force maritime officers remain one step ahead of the criminal gangs who threaten our security. 'Our message to these criminals is clear – more than ever before, we are using intelligence and international law enforcement co-operation to disrupt and dismantle your operations.'

Toronto police to be out in force this weekend at east end beach ahead of Canada Day
Toronto residents should expect to see an increased police presence at Ashbridges Bay Park and Woodbine Beach Park all weekend ahead of Canada Day, police said on Friday. Insp. Michael Hayles, spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service, said officers will be patrolling on horseback, on foot and all terrain vehicles for the official city fireworks display, which will be at the Ashbridges Bay Park starting at 10 p.m. Tuesday. City bylaw officers will also be there. "Please leave your fireworks at home and please remember that personal alcohol is not permitted at the beach," Hayles said. "If there is a threat to public safety, obstruction of our officers or other emergency services, officers will use their discretion in dispersing the crowd or laying charges." Simply possessing fireworks and bringing them to the beach can result in a fine, he added. Hayles said bonfires are also not allowed within Toronto parks without a permit. If residents obtain permits for a bonfire, there are only certain areas where they are permitted. Some road closures in and around Lakeshore Boulevard East will be in effect before and after the fireworks display. The city is planning fireworks displays at five other locations in Toronto: Centennial Park, Amesbury Park, Milliken Park, Stan Wadlow Park and Mel Lastman Square. There will be no fireworks display at Nathan Phillips Square. Fireworks allowed only on residents' own private property: city In a news release, the city said: "Residents are allowed to set off fireworks on their own private property without a permit before 11 p.m. on Canada Day and Victoria Day. A permit is needed to set off fireworks on all other days. "Fireworks are not permitted in City parks or on beaches, balconies, streets, parking lots or property that is not owned by the person setting off the fireworks." The misuse or illegal sale of fireworks can be reported to 311 by phone or by submitting a service request. Laura McQuillan, spokesperson for the city, said on Friday that the city is advising people to take public transit for the celebrations. "Be cognizant that there may be more traffic out there. Take transit if you can," McQuillan said. On its website, the TTC says it will provide extra service on Canada Day "to help customers travelling around the city to various events and fireworks displays."

Two men admit to helping move 8-year-old Edmonton girl's body after 2023 homicide
Two men pleaded guilty Friday for their role in the 2023 disappearance of a child who was later found dead. The pair admitted they were part of a group that participated in moving an eight-year-old girl's body from an Edmonton apartment to Maskwacis, Alta., where police found her in the bed of a truck. The girl can't be identified due to a publication ban. According to court records, separate court-ordered publication bans are also in effect for several of the other people involved in the case, including the two men who entered guilty pleas for indignity to a body. Court of King's Bench Justice Steven Mandziuk gave both men sentences of two years and nine months, agreeing to a joint submission from the Crown and defence for a sentence ranging between two and three years. With enhanced credit for time they've already spent in custody since being arrested in April 2023, each is considered to have already served their sentence. The courtroom was full of the girl's family members on Friday, many wearing shirts with the girl's face. "The victim here was an eight-year-old girl — the very picture of vulnerability. And the word indignity to remains doesn't really capture what happens in these types of crimes," Mandziuk said. "It was barbaric, callous and inhumane, and the product of a very, very poor decision." Two other men were also arrested and charged with accessory to murder and indignity to a dead body in April 2023. A 29-year-old woman is charged with first-degree murder in the case — she has yet to go to trial. Court heard that the woman was looking after the young girl at the time, but she is not a biological relative of hers. 'She had so much joy' Reading a victim impact statement in court on Friday, the girl's grandmother said the loss left the family broken. "I think of what she must have went through and it haunts me every time. I miss my baby girl so much," she said. "She loved her cousins and her family so much. She had so much joy. I'm scared for my other grandchildren." The girl's father said in his victim impact statement that he now struggles with fear that everyone could pose a risk of harming his children. "This horrendous tragedy led me down a dark, cold road — one that stripped me of any trust or faith I ever had in anyone or anything." According to an agreed statement of facts read in court, one of the men who pleaded guilty on Friday is a family member of the woman charged with murder, while the other was a friend of hers. That man, who is 68, came to the woman's apartment on the evening of April 22, 2023, and saw the eight-year-old girl's body, the agreed facts say. The next day, he drove the woman south of the city to Maskwacis, knowing that the girl's body was left behind, and no one had called an ambulance. He then drove three other men from Maskwacis to Edmonton, including the 27-year-old who's now been sentenced alongside him. The younger man told another person in the car after they started driving, "They were going to move a body but not whose body." The court heard that at the apartment, a different man put the girl's body in a hockey bag and loaded it into the trunk of the car. The group then drove back to Maskwacis. The girl's body was discovered during a police search five days later, on April 28, 2023. Mandziuk said the loss of a child, especially in a such traumatic way, has a profound and lasting impact on the people left behind. "On no level is this acceptable — no level. And it's a cold-hearted action."
