🚨 DEVELOPING: Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin ARRESTED — Now Behind Bars

This story just took another turn.

Former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin was arrested Thursday evening in Paris, Kentucky, by the Bourbon County Sheriff’s Office after months of legal battles in a family-court case involving his adopted son.

Bevin had an active Jefferson County bench warrant after being found in contempt of court for failing to provide financial records the judge ordered him to turn over.

He was later booked into Louisville Metro Corrections, where the case is listed as contempt of court/resistance to a court order.

The judge had previously ordered Bevin to serve 60 days in jail and pay a $500 fine over his failure to comply with the court’s orders.

The case involves Bevin’s adopted son, Jonah, who is seeking retroactive child support.

And in a bizarre twist, Kentucky Public Radio reports Bevin was working as an extra on the set of a Christian movie in Paris when deputies arrested him.

Bevin had also been ordered to appear in person at court. At the July 28 hearing, he reportedly attempted to participate through Zoom, but Judge Angela Johnson removed him from the hearing, saying her order requiring him to appear in person was clear.

Now the former Kentucky governor is sitting in a jail cell.

Jonah Bevin’s attorneys issued a short response following the arrest:

“No one is above the law, and that’s been demonstrated today.”

The underlying child-support case is still ongoing.

From a former governor to an arrest on an active bench warrant — this Kentucky story is definitely not over. 👀

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.

A 22-year-old man is accused of fatally shooting his cousin after an argument over whose green chile enchiladas were spicier.

Ervin Joaquin Gutierrez is charged with murder in the Aug. 27 death of his cousin, 25-year-old Nathaniel Cavazos.

According to court documents, and as reported by NEWS4SA, the two had been drinking and cooking with family when they began arguing over the enchiladas. The dispute moved outside and escalated into a fistfight, with Cavazos allegedly punching Gutierrez and leaving him bleeding.

'Really hurtful': Break-in leaves church on Cincinnati's...

After the fight ended and Cavazos began walking away, Gutierrez allegedly pulled a handgun and shot him three or four times in the back from about 10 feet away.

"We're family! We're family! How could you do this to me?" Gutierrez allegedly said before opening fire, according to a witness.

The station reports that investigators noted that a handgun belonging to Cavazos was later recovered roughly 10 yards from his body, though witnesses stated he did not have it drawn during the shooting.

Police found Cavazos with multiple gunshot wounds. He died at the scene.

Investigators said Gutierrez later sent a relative Snapchat messages asking, "Is he really dead?" and claiming Cavazos had threatened him.

"I did not want to kill him but I didn't want him to kill me," Gutierrez allegedly wrote.

Gutierrez later turned himself in to police.

🚨🕊️🕊️🕊️HE WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD — TWO OLDER BOYS DANGLED HIM FROM A 14TH-FLOOR WINDOW AND DROPPED HIM BECAUSE HE WOULDN’T STEAL CANDY

THE MURDER OF ERIC MORSE
Chicago, Illinois — October 13, 1994

Five-year-old Eric Morse lost his life over candy he refused to steal.

On October 13, 1994, Eric and his 8-year-old brother, Derrick Lemon, were at Chicago's Ida B. Wells housing complex when 11-year-old Tykeece Johnson and 10-year-old Jesse Rankins approached them.

The older boys had previously tried to get Eric to steal candy for them.

Eric refused.

That day, Johnson and Rankins lured the brothers into a vacant apartment on the 14th floor of the building at 3833 South Langley Avenue.

What happened inside would haunt Derrick for the rest of his life.

The boys grabbed 5-year-old Eric and dangled him outside a 14th-floor window while Derrick desperately begged them to stop.

Then they let him go.

Eric plunged 14 stories to the pavement below.

Derrick raced down all 14 flights of stairs and found his little brother still alive but suffering catastrophic head injuries. He ran screaming for their mother, Toni Morse.

Toni rushed to the building and found her son lying face-up on the pavement.

“My baby was laying on the ground,” she later told a jury. “Eric, Eric, say something to me.”

Approximately 30 minutes later, Eric was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Johnson and Rankins were convicted of first-degree murder in juvenile court. Because of their ages, they received the maximum sentence available at the time — 5 years in juvenile detention.

Rankins was later sentenced to an additional 9 years after s*xually assaulting another juvenile inmate.

The tragedy continued to follow Eric's family.

Derrick was later awarded $1 million in a lawsuit against the Chicago Housing Authority over unsafe conditions at the housing complex. But in 2006, the brother who had helplessly watched Eric fall from that window became involved in another killing.

As an adult, Derrick shot and killed his aunt's boyfriend during a dispute at a family barbecue. He was sentenced to 71 years in prison.

But before all of that, Derrick was simply an 8-year-old boy running down 14 flights of stairs as fast as his legs could carry him, hoping he could somehow save his little brother.

Eric Morse was 5.

He refused to steal candy.

And for that, two older children took him into a vacant high-rise apartment, held his tiny body outside a window while his brother begged them to stop — and dropped him 14 stories to his death.

🚨 TWO MOTHERS. CHILDREN KILLED. TWO VERY DIFFERENT CASES — BUT WHY DOES THE PUBLIC JUDGE THEM SO DIFFERENTLY?

The Lindsay Clancy case has sparked an enormous debate about what happens when a mother kills her own children and claims severe mental illness played a role.

Now compare that conversation with another disturbing case involving a mother accused of killing her own children.

In Cleveland, 28-year-old Aliyah Henderson is accused of killing her daughters, 10-year-old Amor Wilson and 8-year-old Mila Chatman.

The girls were found deceased inside suitcases that had been buried in a field. Henderson has pleaded not guilty, and prosecutors have brought multiple murder-related charges against her.

Then there's Lindsay Clancy.

Clancy is accused of killing her three children in Massachusetts in 2023. But unlike a simple question of “Did she do it?”, her trial has largely become a battle over why she did it and whether she was legally responsible for her actions.

Her defense has argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and other serious psychiatric symptoms.

Prosecutors have challenged that explanation and argued that she remained criminally responsible.

The jury is now deciding her fate.

And THIS is where the debate gets uncomfortable…

When a mother kills her children, should we automatically look at mental illness, circumstances, warning signs and what happened beforehand?

Or should the circumstances make absolutely no difference when innocent children are involved?

Because here's the question I keep seeing people argue about:

👉 If two mothers are accused of killing their children, why does one case become a national conversation about postpartum psychosis and mental illness, while another is discussed almost entirely as a horrific crime?

Is it because the evidence is different?

Is it because the circumstances are different?

Or does the public simply have a harder time believing that a mother could commit something this horrific unless there is a mental-health explanation?

Imagine dropping your teenage daughter off for a totally normal weekend sleepover, completely unaware that the stepdad of the house was a convicted s*x offender and was supposed to be in court the very next morning.

If you haven't heard about the Jesse McFadden case out of Oklahoma, this one is absolutely horrifying. And honestly, the more you learn about his history, the more questions you have about how he was allowed to be around children.

McFadden had been convicted of first degree r*pe in 2003 and spent about 20 years in prison. While he was still incarcerated, he was caught using a contraband cellphone to contact a 16 year old girl and exchange n**e photos.

He was eventually released in 2020.

After getting out, he married a woman named Holly and moved with her and her three children to rural Oklahoma. From what Holly's family has said, she was a very protective and devoted mom. There doesn't seem to be any indication that she knew everything about McFadden's past.

Then in 2023, Holly's 13 year old daughter Tiffany had two friends over for the weekend. Ivy Webster was 14 and Brittany Brewer was 15.

Their parents thought they were dropping their daughters off for a sleepover.

They had no idea McFadden was supposed to be in court that Monday morning facing new charges.

When Ivy and Brittany didn't come home Sunday, their families started looking for them. Then Monday morning came, McFadden didn't show up for court, and police went to the property.

What they found was devastating.

Seven people were dead, including Holly, her three children, Ivy and Brittany. McFadden also died by su***de.

And investigators later determined that Ivy and Brittany had been s*xually assaulted before they were killed. I debated whether to include that detail, but I think it's important because these girls went to that house for what their parents thought was a completely normal sleepover.

And this is the part I keep coming back to.

Those two girls' parents had no idea about the man living in that home. They trusted that their daughters were safe going to a friend's house.

I'm not saying there was some obvious way their parents could have known. But knowing what we know now, it really makes you question whether there should have been more safeguards in place when someone with a history like McFadden's is living around children.

Do you think parents should have been notified about his history, or is that something the law simply doesn't allow? I'm curious what you guys think.


“I’M INNOCENT… I AIN’T K1LL NOBODY”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, A 26 YEAR OLD MISSISSIPPI WOMAN DENIED BOND FOR A SECOND TIME ...

“I’M INNOCENT… I AIN’T K1LL NOBODY”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, A 26 YEAR OLD MISSISSIPPI WOMAN DENIED BOND FOR A SECOND TIME INSISTS SHE THOUGHT SHE WAS ONLY DRIVING THREE MEN TO BUY MARIJUANA… BUT JACKSON POLICE ALLEGE THE TRIP TURNED INTO A ROBBERY AFTER THE GROUP LEARNED THE TARGET HAD RECENTLY WON A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY… AND BEFORE IT WAS OVER, A 2 YEAR OLD BOY, HIS 25 YEAR OLD MOTHER AND HIS 30 YEAR OLD AUNT WERE DEAD.

New testimony presented in court is providing more details about what investigators allege happened before 2-year-old Camari Givens and two women were killed inside a Jackson, Mississippi home.

At the center of the latest court proceedings is 26-year-old Mikala Young, who maintains that she had no idea a robbery was planned and took no part in the killings.

According to Jackson Police Department investigators, four suspects initially traveled to the home on Queen Alexandria Lane because they were allegedly going there to purchase ma*****na from Camdarian Givens, Camari’s father.

But investigators allege the purpose of that trip changed.

Police say the suspects learned that Givens had recently won a large amount of money and sold ma*****na. Authorities allege what was supposed to be a ma*****na purchase then became a plan to rob him.

According to investigators, when Givens came outside, Cornelius Carter and Devone Modacure allegedly began firing at him.

Givens reportedly escaped and hid behind a neighbor’s house.

Detectives allege Carter and Modacure then entered the residence.

Inside were 2-year-old Camari Givens, his mother, 25-year-old Keyana Weathersby, and Keyana’s 30-year-old sister, Erica Weathersby.

Police allege all three were fatally shot.

Investigators say Young and Jordan Carter remained in the vehicle while the violence unfolded inside the home.

Young allegedly drove away after hearing the shots.

Police further allege that approximately two pounds of ma*****na were taken from the residence and later divided among the suspects.

But Young’s defense presents a substantially different account of what she knew before arriving at the house.

Young denies knowing that anyone intended to commit a robbery or murder anyone.

Her attorney told the judge that Young believed she was simply transporting the men to the residence to purchase ma*****na. Her defense also contends that she did not leave sooner because she was allegedly being held against her will.

A judge has now denied Young bond for a second time.

As she left court, Young directly addressed reporters:

“I’m innocent, I ain’t kill nobody.”

Young also accused Cornelius Carter and another person she referred to only as “Bunny” of being responsible for the killings.

She did not explain who “Bunny” is.

Cornelius Carter and Jordan Carter, both 28, have also been arrested on capital murder charges and denied bond.

Young’s case will now be presented to a Hinds County grand jury, which will determine whether prosecutors have sufficient evidence to move forward toward trial.

At this stage, investigators’ description of the alleged robbery and Young’s involvement represents the prosecution’s allegations. Young maintains that she did not know about the alleged robbery and did not participate in the killings.

Young, Cornelius Carter and Jordan Carter have been charged, not convicted, and they are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

“I WANT TO F1GHT YOU”!!! BELIEVE IT OR NOT, A 240 POUND FLORIDA MAN ALLEGEDLY LOOKED AT A UNIFORMED POLICE OFFICER INSIDE A HOSPITAL, ANNOUNCED THAT HE WANTED TO FIGHT HIM… THEN POLICE SAY HE ACTUALLY CHARGED THE OFFICER, GRABBED HIM AND FOUGHT AGAINST ATTEMPTS TO RESTRAIN HIM… LEAVING THE OFFICER WITH A CUT THAT REQUIRED STITCHES.

A disturbance inside a Florida hospital allegedly escalated into a physical confrontation after a 51-year-old man reportedly made his intentions perfectly clear to the police officer approaching him.

Ronald Jeffery Johnson, 51, was arrested on August 29 at Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale.

According to the arrest report, Johnson was allegedly yelling at medical staff and creating a disturbance in the hospital’s waiting room.

A uniformed Fort Lauderdale police officer approached Johnson to intervene.

That’s when Johnson allegedly issued a remarkably direct challenge:

“I want to fight you.”

Police say Johnson, who was listed as weighing approximately 240 pounds, didn’t stop with words.

According to authorities, Johnson allegedly charged directly at the officer and grabbed him.

A physical struggle followed as the officer attempted to restrain Johnson.

Police say Johnson continued resisting the officer with violence before he was eventually subdued.

The confrontation reportedly left the officer with a cut to his hand serious enough to require stitches.

Johnson also suffered facial injuries during the struggle and received medical treatment before being transported to jail.

But authorities say Johnson’s legal problems weren’t limited to what allegedly happened inside the hospital.

Investigators discovered that he also had an active warrant out of Georgia after allegedly failing to appear in a separate case involving terroristic threats.

Following the hospital confrontation, Johnson was arrested on charges that include aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, disorderly conduct and assault on an officer, firefighter or EMT.

Johnson has been charged, not convicted. The allegations against him have not been proven in court, and he is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

⚪️Former Illinois Deputy Sean Grayson Dies in Prison While Serving 20-Year Sentence for Killing Sonya Massey

Former Sangamon County sheriff’s deputy Sean Grayson, 32, died Sunday while serving a 20-year prison sentence for the fatal shooting of Sonya Massey inside her Springfield-area home.

Grayson was convicted of second-degree murder in October and sentenced in January to the maximum 20 years.

Massey, 36, had called 911 in July 2024 to report a possible prowler outside her home. Body-camera footage later showed her crouching in her kitchen and apologizing moments before Grayson shot her in the face.

Grayson had argued that he feared Massey would throw a pot of hot water at him. Another deputy who responded to the call testified that he did not consider Massey a threat.

Grayson had been diagnosed with colon cancer before the shooting, and his attorneys later said the disease had spread to his liver and lungs.

In May, he sought medical release under an Illinois law allowing certain seriously ill or terminally ill prisoners to be considered for early release.

The Illinois Prisoner Review Board denied that request last month.

His attorney confirmed Grayson’s death Sunday but did not provide additional details.

Massey’s killing became a national flashpoint over police use of force and officer hiring practices. Grayson had worked for several law enforcement agencies before joining the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office.

Illinois later passed the Sonya Massey Act, requiring agencies to more closely review applicants’ prior law-enforcement employment histories before hiring them.

The Justice Department also opened a civil rights investigation and later reached an agreement requiring reforms involving training, behavioral-health response and emergency services.

Grayson was sentenced to 20 years for killing Sonya Massey. He served only a fraction of it before dying in prison.

For Massey’s family, the conviction brought legal accountability. It still could never bring Sonya home.

🚨 SHE WAS STABBED 19 TIMES BY HER 12-YEAR-OLD BEST FRIENDS… BECAUSE THEY BELIEVED SLENDER MAN WAS REAL. THEN, 11 YEARS LATER, ONE OF THEM ESCAPED.

If you were online in 2014, you probably remember hearing about the “Slender Man stabbing.” But the actual details of what happened to 12-year-old Payton Leutner are so much crazier than the headline ever explained.

Payton was best friends with Morgan Geyser. Morgan later told police Payton had been her best friend since fourth grade and, for a long time, essentially her only friend. Morgan had also become close with another girl, Anissa Weier, and Morgan and Anissa shared an obsession with creepy internet stories—especially the fictional character known as Slender Man.

Except somewhere along the way, this apparently stopped being a scary internet story to them.

The girls became convinced Slender Man was real. They believed he watched people, could hurt their families, and that killing someone would prove their loyalty to him. Eventually, the person they chose to sacrifice was Morgan's own best friend.

And this wasn't some completely spontaneous decision made that morning.

Morgan and Anissa had reportedly discussed killing Payton for months. Different plans were considered, including killing her while she slept. Eventually they decided Morgan's birthday sleepover would give them the opportunity they needed.

On May 30, 2014, Payton went to Morgan's house in Waukesha, Wisconsin, for what she believed was a completely normal birthday sleepover with Morgan and Anissa.

The following morning, May 31, the three girls went to a nearby park. At one point, Payton was told to lie on the ground and cover herself with sticks and leaves as part of what she believed was a hide-and-seek game.

Morgan then attacked her with a knife. Payton was stabbed 19 times. Her arms. Her legs. Her torso. And then Morgan and Anissa left her there.

Payton was 12 years old, critically injured and alone in the woods after the two girls she trusted had just tried to kill her.

But somehow, she got up.

She used trees for support and fought her way out of those woods until she reached a path near a road where a bicyclist spotted her.

Morgan would later tell investigators that killing Payton had been “necessary.” She described Slender Man as a tall, faceless man who preyed on children and said she believed he was everywhere. She also told police she had been afraid of what would happen if they didn't go through with the plan.

Morgan was ultimately diagnosed with schizophrenia. Both girls eventually entered pleas connected to mental disease or defect rather than being sent through the system like typical convicted adult offenders.

Anissa was committed for up to 25 years and was conditionally released in 2021. Morgan received a much longer commitment—40 years in a psychiatric institution.

For years, Payton quietly rebuilt her life.

When she finally spoke publicly about what happened in 2019, she said she had learned to accept her scars as part of herself. But there were reminders of what that little girl endured that never completely disappeared. She revealed that she still slept with broken scissors nearby “just in case.”

She went back to school, took honors classes, attended college and talked about wanting a career helping other people. The little girl who wasn't supposed to make it out of those woods did exactly what her attackers never expected her to do. She grew up.

After years of treatment and several attempts at release, Morgan was finally granted conditional release in 2025 and placed in a supervised group home. On November 22, 2025, Morgan cut off her GPS monitoring bracelet and disappeared from the group home.

Authorities began searching for her.

By the following night, police found Morgan nearly 200 miles away in Posen, Illinois, with an adult acquaintance. They were reportedly sleeping outside near a truck stop.

When officers tried to identify Morgan, police said she initially gave them a false name. Eventually she reportedly told them she didn't want to reveal who she was because she'd done “something really bad” and suggested they Google her.

Imagine being Payton and her family when you receive THAT phone call.

In December 2025, a Wisconsin judge revoked her conditional release and ordered her back into a state psychiatric hospital.

Payton is now an adult. She survived, went to college and has tried to build a normal life outside the shadow of the crime that made her name known around the world.

And I think that's the part of this story people sometimes forget.

We remember Slender Man.
We remember the creepy drawings.
We remember the two 12-year-old girls.

But the most important name in this story is Payton Leutner.

Because a 12-year-old child was betrayed by people she trusted, stabbed 19 times, abandoned in the woods and somehow found enough strength to drag herself toward help.

Slender Man wasn't real.

But Payton's fight to survive absolutely was.

And parents—this case will forever make me think differently about sleepovers. We spend so much time warning our kids about strangers that sometimes we forget the people who hurt children aren't always strangers.

Sometimes they're the people our children trust enough to call their best friends.

Teacher arrested for s*xual misconduct with 16-year-old.

A 46-year-old Texas teacher allegedly used her position to target a 16-year-old student at the Galveston County Juvenile Justice Center, a place where vulnerable kids are already supposed to be getting help and structure.

According to the Galveston County Sheriff’s Office, Kristi Rae Hanks was arrested August 19 after investigators received a report in early August. They say evidence, interviews, and her own admissions showed she maintained frequent contact with the student outside any academic setting and engaged in an improper relationship.

She’s charged with improper relationship between educator and student, a second-degree felony that carries 2 to 20 years. Bond was set at $100,000.
