Two massive earthquakes rocked Venezuela on Wednesday, killing at least 164 people and injuring nearly 1,000 others while buildings shook, and the power went out across the country.

Videos circulating online captured all the chaos caused by the quakes -- one of which was considered the worst in over a century in Venezuela.

The first quake struck with a magnitude of 7.2, and then about a minute later, a more powerful 7.5-magnitude quake hit the South American country, according to U.S. monitoring agencies. The epicenter of the quakes was near the city of San Felipe, which has a population of about 220,000 and is roughly 127 miles west of the capital of Caracas.

Terrion Arnold turned himself into police Wednesday evening in Florida on multiple felony kidnapping and robbery charges ... but Detroit Lions star vehemently denies doing anything wrong, and says he intends to prove it in court.

Arnold, 23, is currently being held in a Hillsborough County jail facility after being booked at 10:11 PM.

The charges -- four counts of robbery with a firearm or deadly weapon and four counts of kidnapping with intent to harm or terrorize -- go back to an alleged incident in Tampa in February.

The allegations have been floating around for months, and Arnold, a former first round draft pick in 2024, has always maintained he did nothing wrong.

On Tuesday night, shortly after he surrendered, Denise White, Terrion's rep, adamantly denied her client did anything wrong, citing a lack of evidence.

"Terrion Arnold categorically denies any involvement in the matters underlying the allegations made against him and maintains his innocence," White said in a statement provided to TMZ Sports.

"There is no credible evidence linking Mr. Arnold to these allegations. Instead, the government appears to be relying on testimony from multiple convicted felons who have admitted their own involvement and may have substantial incentives to shift blame in an effort to lessen their sentences."

White continued, vowing to fight the charges.

"Mr. Arnold looks forward to his day in court and is confident that the judicial process will lead to his ultimate vindication."

Arnold is being held without bond.

11:00 AM PST -- TikTok has removed any videos that appear to show content creators making fun of Austin Metcalf's fatal stabbing. A spokesperson tells TMZ ... "Our Community Guidelines make clear we don’t allow content that harasses or bullies others, including mocking someone's death. Any violative content is being removed."

A disturbing TikTok trend is drawing widespread backlash after users began posting videos that appear to mock the killing of Texas teen Austin Metcalf.

The videos feature people dancing to a rap song called "Austin Bop," with some seemingly acting out stabbing motions and others holding knives as they mimic the fatal attack. Additional clips include jokes and memes targeting Metcalf and his family.

The trend centers on the 2025 killing of the 17-year-old, who was fatally stabbed during an altercation at a high school track meet. Karmelo Anthony was later convicted of murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison after a jury rejected his claim of self-defense.

Former San Francisco Giants first baseman Aubrey Huff went scorched earth over the team's Pride Night firestorm ... unleashing a homophobic rant that he said spoke for "almost everyone" in Major League Baseball.

The controversial slugger, who was with the team for two World Series title runs, said the fallout over some players writing Bible verses on their Pride Night hats was absurd ... and he defended legendary Giants player and front office honcho Buster Posey for holding court with the media, only to deflect all questions about Pride Night.

Had he been in Buster's shoes, Huff says he would have responded ... "I'm not wearing this gay bulls***. Queers don't watch Baseball anyway. They watch 'The View,' enjoy therapy, & f**** p***ing sessions. And anyone inside the LGBTQ community, or those who support them don't like what I just said, then I say to you…. Go f*** yourselves, & eat a d***. And I mean that in the most literal sense."
