'Harry Potter' stars banned from driving after being caught speeding
Two stars of the "Harry Potter" films, including actress Emma Watson, were each banned from driving for six months Wednesday after being caught speeding in separate incidents. Watson, 35, who played Hermione Granger, the friend of boy wizard Potter in the hugely popular movie franchise, was banned for driving at 38 miles (61 km) an hour in a 30-mile zone in southeastern Banbury last July. Zoe Wanamaker, 76, who played Quidditch teacher Madame Hooch in "Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone", was banned for six months for her offence. She had been caught driving at 46 miles an hour in a 40-mile zone of the M4 motorway in southeastern Berkshire last August. The cases were dealt with separately by a lower magistrates court in the town of High Wycombe. Neither of the stars attended the hearings, at which they were each fined £1,044 ($1,400). Watson, who was stopped while driving her blue Audi, has been studying at Oxford University. Her lawyer told the court that although she was a student "she is in a position to pay the fine".

Man arrested after leading police on chase in Craven County
BRIDGETON, N.C. (WNCT) — A man was arrested after Bridgeton Police officers tried to stop him on his motorcycle for a traffic offense on June 4, 2025. The driver, Shayne Hayes, 39, led officers on a chase into New Bern but the chase was stopped due to Hayes' driving and being a danger to the public, officers said. Warrants were then taken out for Hayes' arrest on felony fleeing to elude arrest and numerous traffic violations. Officers went to Hayes' home on Yarmouth Road Saturday, June 7th to serve the warrants and they said Hayes ran away into the neighborhood and hid from them. He was eventually found and taken into custody. Hayes was also charged with resisting, obstructing and delaying arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia. Hayes was jailed in the Craven County Jail without bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
