Kentucky man indicted of punching woman, abducting toddler in Dayton
Adam Anderson, 34, of Ghent, Kentucky, was indicted in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on felony counts of aggravated robbery, felonious assault and abduction, as well as a misdemeanor count of domestic violence.
Around 3:30 p.m. on June 5, police were called to Big Daddy's Mini Mart & Gas at 1627 E. Third Street for a domestic violence call.
According to an affidavit filed in Dayton Municipal Court, police found a woman who was "dazed, bleeding from her mouth, and missing a tooth."
She said that Anderson, who is her son's father, punched her in the mouth, stole her car and left with the 2-year-old boy in the car.
A family member who witnessed the assault said they got a second child out of the car before Anderson took it, the affidavit said.
Police found Anderson standing outside the stolen vehicle, with the toddler still inside, at Sammy's Drive Thru at 1290 Woodman Drive, documents said.
Anderson had blood on his left hand, the affidavit said. The child was reportedly uninjured by crying.
Dayton Police Sgt. Andrew Zecchini previously said that Anderson was found just over an hour after officers were dispatched, and that the child was checked by medical professionals out of an abundance of caution.
Anderson told police that he had been dating the woman for three years and that they had broken up that day. He said that he lost his temper because he suspected she cheated on him, and claimed he hurt his hand slamming it on a door, the affidavit said.
Initially he denied punching the woman but allegedly admitted to knocking out her tooth and taking the toddler during a jail call.
He also reportedly admitted the vehicle belonged to the woman and he took it wanting to leave.
Police said previously that Anderson does not have custody of the child, and has a warrant for his arrest in Kentucky for violent crimes.
Anderson is currently in the Montgomery County Jail, and is scheduled for arraignment Friday.

Donald Trump Repeats False Claim Beyoncé Was Paid $11 Million To Endorse Kamala Harris; Calls To Prosecute Singer, Oprah & Al Sharpton
On Saturday, Donald Trump repeated false claims that Beyoncé was paid $11 million to endorse Kamala Harris on the campaign trail in October of last year. The Truth Social post comes as the president faces scrutiny from his own base over the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Taking to his social media platform yesterday, the GOP leader wrote, 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!), Three Million Dollars for 'expenses,' to Oprah, Six Hundred Thousand Dollars to very low rated TV 'anchor,' Al Sharpton (a total lightweight!), and others to be named for doing, absolutely NOTHING! These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PAY FOR AN ENDORSEMENT. IT IS TOTALLY ILLEGAL TO DO SO. Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, BROKE THE LAW. They should all be prosecuted! Thank you for your attention to this matter.'

'It's time to sing a new song, a song that began 248 years ago. The old notes of downfall, discord, despair no longer resonate. Our generations of loved ones before us are whispering a prophecy, a quest, a calling, an anthem. Our moment right now — it's time for America to sing a new song. Our voices sing a chorus of unity. They sing a song of dignity and opportunity,' she said to the crowd. Federal campaign spending records show a $165,000 payment made from the Democratic presidential candidate's organization to Beyoncé's production company, per CNN, with 'campaign event production' listed as the reasoning for the expenditure. Last year, senior spokesperson for the Harris campaign Adrienne Elrod told Deadline that the campaign did not pay any celebrity endorsers but was required by campaign finance law to cover costs associated with holding such events, per Federal Election Commission rules. This accounts for the $1 million the Harris campaign spent on Oprah's Harpo Productions, as the famed TV personality endorsed her at a Michigan-held 'Unite for America' event in September 2024. The baseless allegation was fact-checked by websites and PolitiFact last year, though Trump repeated his sentiments about Beyoncé, Oprah and Al Sharpton back in February. Trump has also previously harped on the matter in a post made back in May, where he named other influential Harris endorsers like Bruce Springsteen and Bono, calling for a 'major investigation.' There's also no evidence to suggest such expenses were incorrectly categorized, and though Trump maintained payment for endorsement is illegal, there's actually no FEC law that prohibits such campaigns for paying for endorsements, though they must disclose such expenditures.

More than 30 cars vandalized in Massachusetts as police search for suspect seen on video
More than 30 vehicles were vandalized in Quincy, Massachusetts over the weekend, leaving dozens of residents facing costly damage. Angela Taylor, a North Quincy resident, was returning from vacation when she learned her car had been among those targeted. "It's frustrating, considering the fact that you come back from vacation, you're expecting to relax and now you have to go and file a police report and let your insurance know and try to figure out how to remedy the damage to the car that you don't want rusting come New England winters," said Taylor. Taylor lives in a condominium complex that she said is in a safe neighborhood in North Quincy. "I think if you have a nice vehicle especially, then you're going to be far more concerned now parking your car out," she said. "And we live in a condo that's supposed to be safe and North Quincy's supposed to be safe." According to neighbors and home surveillance video, the suspect was seen walking up and down Oakridge scratching cars with a rock. The act has left residents shaken. "We want the policemen to find him right away and do something," said Vicky Zhang. Zhang said that at least seven or eight cars on her street were scratched up by the suspect. She shared Ring video with WBZ-TV that shows the suspect, dressed in all black, walking up and down the block. Taylor said this isn't the first time vandalism has occurred in the neighborhood. "30 [cars] is a lot and considering this is not the first time this has happened in the area either, I think it's increasingly frustrating because it happened around Christmas as well, my car was keyed up then too," said Taylor. The Quincy Police Department is asking anyone with information or surveillance video to contact them as the investigation continues.

Fleeing Motorcyclist Walks Away From 100-Plus MPH Crash
Read the full story on The Auto Wire A man fleeing from police at speeds over 100 mph crashed his motorcycle on a Los Angeles highway, then walked away. Actually, he started with walking, then jogged down the side of the road, we guess trying to figure out another way to escape from the seen so many police chases like this one end badly with the suspect and perhaps others dying in a horrific crash. This time it at first looked like the guy was going to be street pizza, but he apparently drove for the slide instead of just the ride and that paid off. Sure, he eventually was caught by police after trying to escape on foot. But that's better than if he had died or been horrifically mangled. At least once he gets out of jail or prison or whatever, he can just keep living his life. Originally, the motorcyclist took off from an attempted traffic stop by California Highway Patrol for speeding. He must have heard if he went fast enough police would just back off. And they did. However, a police helicopter was overhead tracking his every move. That meant he couldn't see the cruisers behind him, but surely he could see he was traveling in one giant spot light. Still, the guy pushed his bike to 140 mph at one point, just weaving through slower traffic and cutting it super close repeatedly. It's a miracle he didn't run into some truck with a steel bumper while he was doing that. Instead, his motorcycle went down in a shower of sparks for a reason we can't perceive. Its possible he hit a rough patch in the pavement, his bike suffered death wobble and he dumped it, or maybe he clipped a car. Whatever it was, all that protective gear he was wearing did its job. This is why you wear that stuff while riding. Image via ABC7 Join our Newsletter, subscribe to our YouTube page, and follow us on Facebook.
