Soulja Boy arrested on weapons charges in Los Angeles

Rapper Soulja Boy, who exploded onto the scene in 2007 with the smash hit "Crank That (Soulja Boy)," was arrested on weapons charges in Los Angeles early Sunday morning, according to authorities. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that the arrest of DeAndre Cortez Way, his birth name, took place at about 2:35 a.m. in the Melrose neighborhood of L.A. Officers conducted a traffic stop in the area of Melrose and North Genesee avenues and discovered that Way, a passenger in the vehicle, was in possession of a firearm. He was arrested on suspicion of possession of a firearm while being a felon. It's not yet clear what spurred the traffic stop. No additional details were immediately made available.

He's continued to release music since and has had success as an online streamer. CBS News Los Angeles reached out to Soulja Boy's representatives, but did not immediately hear back.

Police in a northern Twin Cities suburb say a potentially impaired driver evaded law enforcement after crashing during a pursuit early Sunday. The Brooklyn Park Police Department says it was requested to help the Minnesota State Patrol as the chase entered city limits shortly after 3 a.m. Authorities believed the suspect was impaired, and said he was driving erratically and posing a public safety risk. While Brooklyn Park officers were on the way, the suspect crashed at the intersection of County Road 81 and West Broadway Avenue, according to police. Law enforcement searched the area after the suspect fled the scene of the crash on foot, but they were unsuccessful in finding them.

Woman, 51, Mauled to Death by a Large Pack of Stray Dogs During 'Chaotic Scene' at a California Park

Another woman was injured during the incident at the Perris Hill Park in San BernardinoNEED TO KNOW A woman was mauled to death by multiple dogs at a California park on July 31 Another woman was also injured in the attack "It was a bit of a chaotic scene at first, because there were multiple dogs out there," a local police officer saidOne woman died and another was injured after they were attacked by more than a dozen dogs at a park in southern California. Police responded to a call that an individual was being attacked by dogs at the Perris Hill Park in San Bernardino at around 5:00 p.m. local time on Thursday, July 31, KTLA and the Los Angeles Times reported. Officers arrived to find two victims 'lying on the ground about 30 yards away from each other," the San Bernardino Police Department (SBPD) said, per the outlets. KTLA identified the one victim as Teodora Mendoza, 51. The outlet said the woman had severe face injuries and was taken to the hospital, but she was later pronounced dead. The identity of the second woman has not yet been released. It is not currently known if the two victims knew each other. Speaking with the Times, San Bernardino Police Sgt. Chris Gray said of the animals involved, "It appears they may have been stray dogs." "It was a bit of a chaotic scene at first, because there were multiple dogs out there," he added. According to KTLA, one Pitbull was shot dead after it charged at a police officer when they arrived at the scene. The incident occurred near a homeless encampment, and San Bernardino Animal Control later responded to the scene and removed 14 dogs, per KTLA and the Times. Mendoza's son, Alex Lozano, told the Times his mother had been homeless for more than a year at the time of the death. He added that she often visited Perris Hill Park with a male companion. 'My grandpa from Texas called and said that my mom was attacked by Pit bulls. That's how I found out,' Lozano, 21, said. He added that he and his mother had not spoken for some time.
