Virginia State Police Are Now Driving S650 Mustangs
Read the full story on The Auto Wire If you live in or travel through Virginia, be on the lookout for state troopers behind the wheel of S650 Mustangs. Virginia State Police just announced a whole slate of these new pony cars have officially been added to the fleet and delivered to troopers, so they're out on the prowl as we of the Mustangs are GTs with nary an EcoBoost in the lineup. It might be a tough pill for the four-banger crowd to swallow, but the Coyote V8 not only is more powerful, it's far more reliable and durable. Those sorts of things matter to law enforcement agencies. Ford will allow law enforcement and other government entities to create custom specs of duty cars. In this case, VSP appears to have selected the wheels and Brembo brakes included in the GT Performance Package without also including the rear wing (maybe that interfered with the cruiser's equipment?). With a top speed of 155 mph, these Mustangs are fast, making it harder for determined suspects to ditch troopers in a chase. That might be in part why we see more and more law enforcement adding pony cars to their fleets. It probably also doesn't hurt that Dodge has watered down its performance, forcing police to look elsewhere for fast rides. There are some problems with using Mustangs in law enforcement. For one, they don't have a push bar, so officers can't do a PIT maneuver with them. With only two doors, there's no putting suspects in the backseat. Also, interior space is more cramped than in an SUV, so police have to deal with that challenge. But something tells us VSP troopers won't complain. However, speeders and aggressive/distracted drivers will probably loathe these new Mustang GTs added to the fleet.

Nashville music community mourns deaths of ‘American Idol' executive, husband
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — An 'American Idol' executive and her songwriting husband, with close ties to Nashville, were found dead in their California home, leaving many people heartbroken. The couple — identified as Robin Kaye and Thomas Deluca, both 70 years old — were discovered with multiple gunshot wounds on Monday, July 14 after officers responded to the upscale Encino, California, residence for a welfare check around 2:30 p.m., according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Authorities said they believe the suspect, 22-year-old Raymond Boodarian of Encino, entered the home through an unlocked door. Then, when the homeowners returned, a violent struggle reportedly ensued between the couple and the suspect, resulting in the victims' deaths, before Boodarian ran off. ORIGINAL STORY | 'American Idol' executive, her husband fatally shot in California home: reports According to the Associated Press, investigators believe Boodarian was burglarizing the home several days earlier while the couple was away, but even though police were called to the residence on Thursday, July 10, they found no signs of trouble or forced entry. Among the couple's close friends is Ronnie Brooks, who was in a band with Deluca called The Piggies in the late 1970s and early 1980s. 'Tom and I had played music together, and so I can just say, locally, that we had lots of fans that loved Tom's music, his writing and singing, and what we did as a band, and then Robin, her career really blossomed when they got to L.A.,' Brooks recalled. PREVIOUS | Arrest made in deadly shooting of 'American Idol' executive, her husband in California Brooks and Deluca both played the guitar, and that passion for music developed into a close friendship that lasted many years. He considered them family, adding that they always insisted Brooks stay at their home while visiting Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Kaye was an award-winning music producer who had worked on 'American Idol' since 2009, but she had also worked on Miss Universe, the NAACP Image Awards, and other high-profile shows, according to News 2's sister station, KTLA. 'We are devastated to hear of Robin and her dear husband Tom's passing. Robin has been a cornerstone of the Idol family since 2009 and was truly loved and respected by all who came into contact with her,' an 'American Idol' spokesperson said in a statement sent to KTLA. 'Robin will remain in our hearts forever and we share our deepest sympathies with her family and friends during this difficult time.' ⏩ If you have any information that will help with this ongoing double homicide investigation, you're asked to contact LAPD's Valley Homicide Division at 818-374-9550.
