Details emerge from Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins' domestic violence, battery arrest
Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins' arrest occurred Saturday after police had been called for a 'delayed battery' and then 'determined a battery had occurred,' a Fort Lauderdale Police Department Media Relations Unit spokesperson told ESPN. Police officers arrived at a location on West Cypress Creek Road around 9 a.m., spoke with the victim and then 'made contact' with Judkins, 21, to arrest him, Sergeant David Soika told the outlet in his statement. Advertisement It's unclear where Judkins, the former Ohio State star who was drafted in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, was located when police spoke with the victim, or when the alleged incident occurred. Judkins was charged with a misdemeanor battery (domestic) crime, according to the Soika's statement, and his inmate log described the charge as 'touch or strike/battery/domestic viol[ence].' Quinshon Judkins was arrested July 12. Zac Jackson/X He was still being held in the Broward County main jail as of early Sunday afternoon, with his bond listed at $2,500, according to his inmate log.

Chinese illegals accused of plotting to scam elderly Americans out of life savings
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested two Chinese illegals accused of conning elderly Americans out of tens of thousands of dollars, authorities said Tuesday. "It takes a real dirtbag to prey on our most vulnerable community members by attempting to swindle them out of their hard-earned savings," ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations Deputy Field Office Director Joseph Freden said in a statement. "We remain committed to the arrest and removal of aliens who undermine the safety of our communities and the integrity of our laws." The suspects, charged with separate crimes, have been identified as Jian Chen and Rihui Yan. Chen allegedly conned a 63-year-old woman out of $42,000 and arranged to obtain nearly $100,000 more in Potsdam, New York. He found agents from Homeland Security Investigations and ICE Enforcement Removal Operations instead of the victim when he went to meet, authorities said. Yan, whom ICE dubbed a "scam artist and illegal alien," allegedly tried to swindle an elderly Wyoming County couple for $20,000 -- their life savings. Both are being held without bond pending removal. "This HSI Massena investigation underscores HSI's commitment to disrupting and dismantling transnational criminal organizations and groups intent on exploiting our vulnerable communities," said HSI Buffalo Special Agent in Charge Erin Keegan. "We will never stand idly by while bad actors – in this case, illegally present Chinese nationals – target innocent New Yorkers for their own selfish gain," A third Chinese suspect, Hui Chen, was arrested on similar charges in October 2024 and is in custody pending deportation, authorities said. Border officials told Fox News last year that the fastest growing group of illegal migrants crossing the southern border was coming from China. Since taking office in January, President Donald Trump has led a massive removal campaign targeting criminal aliens across the country.

Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya asked to take leave of absence amid Mkhwanazi claims
Deputy national police commissioner for crime detection, Lieutenant-General Shadrack Sibiya, has been asked to take a leave of absence following explosive allegations about links to criminal syndicates and interference in politically motivated murder investigations. Sibiya, who was a central figure in the allegations made by KwaZulu-Natal police commissioner Lieutenant-General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi last Sunday, was informed telephonically by his superior, national police commissioner General Fanie Masemola, to remain at home. Mkhwanazi accused Sibiya of being a criminal and of improper conduct for closing a political task unit investigating political killings allegedly at the bidding of Police Minister Senzo Mchunu.
