Kennedale ISD substitute accused of showing sexual material to students, police say
The substitute teacher, identified in court records as 38-year-old Ashley Nicole Evans, was booked at the Tarrant County Jail and released on $50,000 bond on Wednesday.
Evans faces two misdemeanor counts of displaying harmful material to a minor, according to court records.
According to a search warrant affidavit obtained by the Star-Telegram, multiple students at Kennedale Junior High School reported to school administrators that Evans had talked to them about drug use and pornography and showed them sexually explicit material on her cellphone.
Parents Daphne Todd and Ashley Baker told WFAA-TV that they were notified of the April incident via an e-mail from school officials and a phone call from police this week.
Baker's 14-year-old daughter and Todd's 14-year-old son were both in the junior high school class that Evans was teaching at the time, the mothers said.

Baker and Todd said that officials told them Evans showed their children explicit photos and engaged them in inappropriate conversation on April 7, WFAA-TV reported. Court records indicate that a second alleged incident took place in January.
'I'm disturbed because you have to be mentally ill and a very perverted, sick person to be in a classroom full of pre-teens, like teens, and be watching that kind of stuff,' Baker told WFAA-TV.
Kennedale ISD issued the following statement to the Star-Telegram:
In April, the district received a report regarding inappropriate conversations between a substitute teacher and students. In accordance with district policy, the substitute was immediately removed from access to all campuses and law enforcement was notified.
Since that time, additional allegations have been made as part of the ongoing investigation with law enforcement. The District is actively cooperating with appropriate agencies. We remain committed to the safety and well-being of all students and will continue to take appropriate action in accordance with district policy and legal requirements.
Kennedale police declined to release additional details, citing the ongoing investigation.

AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM: Beyoncé's Unreleased Music Was Stolen In Atlanta During ‘Cowboy Carter' Tour Stop
Renaissance Act III might be even further away than we thought… Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty During Beyoncé's sold-out four-show run in Atlanta, the star's choreographer and one of her dancers said thieves broke into their SUV and stole numerous items. According to reports from local station Channel 2 WSB-TV , the items stolen include jump drives containing unreleased music, footage plans for her show, and past and future set lists. While news of the theft only became public on July 14, ahead of her final night in ATL, a spokesperson for Atlanta police told the station the break-in happened just after 8 p.m. on July 8. The break-in, which happened less than 48 hours before her first show in the city, occurred inside a parking deck at Krog Street Market. Channel 2's Michael Seiden reported on Monday evening that an arrest warrant has been issued for a suspect. Christopher Grant and Diandre Blue told police that they parked their rental black Jeep Wagoneer in the parking deck around 8:09 p.m. When they returned to their SUV, they discovered someone broke in through the back lift gate, and their two suitcases had been stolen. 'Mr. Grant advised he was also carrying some personal sensitive information for the musician Beyoncé,' an officer wrote in the incident report. 'He advised he was her choreographer and Mr. Diandre Blue was a dancer for her and that her hard drives for her upcoming show in Atlanta were stolen also. The hard drives contained water marked music, some un-released music, footage plans for the show and past and future set lists.' According to reports from Billboard , who received a statement from Atlanta police, ' the suspect remains outstanding, and their identity is not yet available for release.' 'On July 8, 2025, Atlanta Police Zone 6 officers responded to 99 Krog St. NE regarding a report of a theft from motor vehicle. Preliminary investigation revealed a Jeep Wagoneer was broken into at the location and two suitcases had been stolen,' the statement read. 'Investigators with the Atlanta Police Department's Larceny from Auto Unit led the investigation and have subsequently secured an arrest warrant for a suspect.' Beyoncé does not play about music leaks, so if whoever stole her hard drives puts unreleased songs on the internet, Bey just might end up scrapping them all.

New Lenox police say resident conned out of more than $100,000
New Lenox police say a resident lost more than $100,000 over three months in an online cryptocurrency investment scheme that began in March and ended in early July when he became suspicious. The unidentified resident, who is in his 50s, told officers he encountered a woman online who persuaded him to invest in Bitcoin, a type of digital currency that operates separately from a central bank. Cryptocurrency scams target victims through texting, social media and dating websites, establish trust, convince the victim to financially participate and then try to increase the victim's participation, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation website. The resident told police he wired money from his bank account and used Apple gift cards and Bitcoin machines to deposit funds in an investment platform via WhatsApp and Telegram, two cross-platform messaging applications that contain group chats and other features. New Lenox police warn no legitimate business or government entity will request payment by means of a gift card or cryptocurrency. Eventually the resident learned he'd earned a profit but couldn't retrieve it without additional investment, prompting him to question whether he was being scammed. The woman put him in touch with an individual claiming to be from the FBI to help investigate the matter, but the self-described FBI agent began to request money to investigate the fraud, prompting the resident to contact New Lenox police July 8. The FBI will never ask for money, move communications to private messaging apps or request bank account details or personal identifying information, according to the agency's website. New Lenox police said the FBI is not involved in investigating the case, which it is classifying as a deceptive practice. New Lenox officers suggest people never send money to persons they have not met in person, noting no legitimate business or government entity will request an individual's password, personal identification number or Social Security number. They also invite any resident questioning the legitimacy of such requests to contact the Police Department for assistance.

Toronto rapper Top 5 stabbed following Drake concert in U.K.
Hassan Ali, also known as Toronto rapper Top 5, was stabbed in the leg by a mob that surrounded his vehicle in London, U.K., hours after he attended a concert by fellow Torontonian Drake, police have confirmed. Police were called to the area after midnight Monday for reports of a stabbing. 'The victim, a man in his 20s, was approached by a group who damaged his car before stabbing him in the leg. He was taken to hospital and his injuries are not believed to be life-changing,' Metropolitan Police said in a statement. No arrests have been made. Hassan Ali, the underground Toronto rapper Top 5, has been released on bail on firearm London tabloid websites linked to cellphone footage showing a group of men climbing onto a white Mercedes and stomping on the windshield, before several kicked the driver while onlookers recorded the frightening scene with their phones. On Sunday, Ali, 27, posted clips of himself watching Drake's set from a VIP section near the stage at the three-day Wireless Festival at Finsbury Park in North London. Ali is currently facing a firearms possession charges in Toronto where the case was in zoom court Monday. Last fall, the prosecution withdrew a first-degree murder charge after a judge excluded crucial prosecution evidence, including his social media posts, videos and lyrics. After Ali walked out of court a free man, he suggested Drake had paid his legal bill and posted a photo on Instagram praising his lawyer, Gary Grill, for being 'the best lawyer in Toronto.' Could Top 5's jury be expected to tell fact from fiction in the postings of a rapper who built However, Grill confirmed he is no longer representing Ali and a different lawyer told the judge on Monday her firm is in the process of being retained. After his arrest earlier this year, Ali was initially released on bail with electronic ankle monitoring, a curfew, and order to live with his parents. However, Grill told the Star that Ali's bail conditions were changed so there was nothing preventing him from being in the United Kingdom. He has a reputation for using social media to stoke feuds with other rappers and in 2021 was ordered to stay off the internet as a condition of his bail. After the stabbing, there was online speculation about whether Ali could have incited the attack after saying on a live stream 'there is no real killers in London.' Error!
