Arrests

Google Christian Kirk.

That's what Kirk's friend told cops to do before both men were arrested for criminal damage to a car in February ... adding, "Y'all costing my dog millions."

TMZ Sports obtained police body cam footage showing police as they interviewed Kirk's friend in an Arizona parking lot after receiving a call for 2 guys throwing rocks at cars.

The video shows Kirk's friends pleading with cops to let Kirk go.

"I'm about to cry for my friend right now man, this sh*t f**ked up. He's about to be a first round draft pick and y'all out here over a van man. Y'all really costing my dog millions."

"Like, Google this man, Google him."

FYI -- Kirk ended up being drafted in the 2nd round of April's NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals ... and the criminal charge against him was dropped.

No word on if they Googled him, bro.

2:37 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... cops responded to a call around 1 AM from a woman claiming Trippie Redd pistol-whipped her. Cops say they noticed a bump on the woman's head where she said she was struck, prompting cops to arrest Trippie Redd.

Rapper Trippie Redd apparently has some heavy hands ... because he's been arrested a second time in less than a month ... and again for an alleged assault.

The rapper was busted by Atlanta PD on Tuesday and is currently being held in Fulton County Jail. According to law enforcement ... Trippie was booked for aggravated assault and battery causing substantial physical harm. We're told he's currently being processed right now.

It's unclear who Trippie allegedly assaulted or what triggered it. TMZ broke the story ... Trippie and his friend, Lil Wop, were arrested 2 weeks ago after he allegedly jumped a local rapper.

Vince Vaughn was leaning against a bar with a drink in his hand hours before he was busted for DUI ... according to photos TMZ has obtained.

The pics were taken Saturday at the Aloft Hotel in El Segundo, CA where Vince was attending a party. We're told he was there from about 7 PM to 10 PM. He was pulled over at a DUI checkpoint about 2-and-a-half hours later ... not far from the hotel.

You can see Vince is wearing the same gray shirt as the one he was wearing in his smirky mug shot.

Hard to make out exactly what he's drinking, but witnesses tell us he seemed to be sipping vodka-sodas while mingling with the guests.

TMZ broke the story ... Vaughn and a male passenger were stopped by Manhattan Beach PD early Sunday morning.

Ex-NFL All-Pro OT Branden Albert just caught a BIG break in his jewelry store taser case ... and if he keeps his nose clean, he won't spend a minute behind bars.

TMZ Sports broke the story ... Albert was arrested back in February in Atlanta after cops say he went berserk while shopping -- ultimately ending in him being tasered twice, arrested and charged with 2 felonies.

Now, we've learned he's been accepted into Georgia's Pretrial Intervention Program -- which means if Albert abides by terms set by the court, he won't be prosecuted.

The terms ... Albert has to pay the jewelry store for the stuff he broke ... and do 40 hours of community service. He also has to complete a mental health evaluation and take any prescribed medication.

Once completed, the case will be thrown out ... and Albert can petition the court to have any trace of the charge expunged from his record.

If he doesn't fulfill the terms ... prosecutors could haul him back into court to face the felony charges -- where he'd face up to 10 years in prison.

Vince Vaughn's taking things slow after his DUI arrest -- opting for a daytime power smoothie, and a good old-fashioned walk instead of a drive.

Vince was out and about Monday in Manhattan Beach, CA -- the same city where he got busted for drinking and driving Sunday. He was strolling around with a blended juice beverage in hand ... probably a good shot of energy after his rough weekend.

TMZ broke the story ... Vince was arrested for DUI, as well as obstructing an officer. Cops say he and his passenger, who was also arrested, refused to get out of Vince's car when they were initially pulled over at a DUI checkpoint.

Chris Johnson was charged with battery for allegedly choking a valet in April ... and now TMZ Sports has the surveillance video of the alleged violent altercation.

Here's the deal ... Johnson was charged with misdemeanor battery after officials in Hillsborough County, Florida say the NFL star roughed up a nightclub valet.

According to court docs, Johnson "became angry at the businesses valet" and "intentionally touched and struck the victim" by "placing him in a choke hold and punching him in the face causing minor injuries" April 9 at The Lodge.

The video quality ain't the best ... but you see a man who appears to be Johnson attempt to grab something from the valet ... before the men leave the frame and are lost in a crowd.

We spoke to Matt Powell -- the alleged victim's attorney -- who tells us Johnson didn't have his valet ticket, and got pissed when his client asked him to prove the Porsche he was trying to take was his vehicle.

Powell says Johnson grabbed the keys before choking his client while an unidentified person punched him in the face -- injuring his face, neck and back.

We also obtained a video taken shortly after the alleged incident, where the victim appears bloodied and beaten ... and says he was scared for his life.

"I thought I was gonna die."

Meek Mill's learned a valuable lesson about popping wheelies ... instead of the street, he did it onstage for a super dope concert entrance Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

Meek was one of the performers at this year's Hot 97's Summer Jam and started his act by riding in on an ATV, rocking his motocross gear before launching into his first song.

If you forgot -- and we're guessing Meek hasn't -- poppin' a wheelie is part of what landed the rapper in prison last November. He was busted for doing it illegally on an NYC street last summer.

Meek was arrested for reckless driving and, since he was on probation at the time, was later thrown in the slammer where he remained until April.

Ex-NFL star Kellen Winslow Jr. was arrested for residential burglary Thursday after cops say he broke into a home at a mobile home park near San Diego.

Officials say cops got a call about an incident around 2:39 PM PT -- someone reported a black male adult walked into a neighbor's home.

The person who called police confronted 34-year-old Winslow -- who then got into a waiting SUV and left, according to police.

Cops say they found Winslow in a matching SUV a short distance away and arrested him for felony burglary.

FYI, Winslow made more than $40 MILLION during his 10-year NFL career as a tight end for the Tampa Bay Bucs, Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots and NY Jets.

Winslow was held on $50,000 bail -- which he posted. He has since been released. He faces up to 6 years in prison.

It's not Winslow's first run-in with the law ... he was arrested for allegedly masturbating in a Target parking lot back in 2014. Cops say they found vaseline in the car and synthetic marijuana.

Hope Solo says she's still furious after her domestic violence case was dropped -- claiming the whole ordeal damaged her personal life and career ... and she wants someone to pay.

Solo was arrested back in 2014 and charged with 2 counts of assault after allegedly beating up family members at a home in Kirkland, Washington. Cops said Solo appeared wasted and she went on a tirade, cussing out officers.

The case had been dismissed back in 2015 on procedural grounds, but prosecutors appealed and the decision was reversed.

But now, officials say key witnesses stopped cooperating and prosecutors felt Solo was unlikely to attack a family member again ... so they dropped the case.

Solo has now issued a statement saying, "I always knew this day would come but I never imagined it would take nearly four years."

"Any sense of relief and gratification is matched by frustration and disbelief knowing the great lengths the City of Kirkland and all involved went to in order to further their own interests. "

"The harm caused to me, my family and my career has been immeasurable and I intend to explore any and all legal remedies to hold those with no regard for the truth, fully accountable."

Conrad Hilton was just formally sentenced in his grand theft auto case -- the same one in which he went off on a racist and homophobic rant.

Conrad was in L.A. County Court Wednesday where he pled no contest to 1 count of felony grant theft auto and 1 count of misdemeanor contempt of court. He was sentenced to 3 years probation and was ordered to continue with mental health and substance counseling.

Hilton violated a restraining order last year against E.G. Daily's daughter, after he allegedly stole her dad's car and drove over to her house. That led to a meltdown with cops.

Hilton was also ordered to stay away from Daily and family for the next 3 years.

As we reported ... Conrad was caught on camera in an incredibly racist and homophobic tirade against cops who arrested him at E.G.'s pad last spring. He screamed homophobic epithets, rape ... and the n-word. It was clear he wasn't well during this time.

Kevin Garnett's younger sister is in serious trouble after cops say she tried to rob THREE check cashing stores in South Carolina ... while making bomb threats.

It all started on Monday ... cops say Ashley Danyelle Phelps tried to rob a Check Into Cash in Greenville -- and told employees she had a bomb. Someone pressed a panic button and Phelps fled without any loot.

The next day, cops say Phelps tried to hit another Check Into Cash store -- but failed so she went to an Advance America shop instead and once again told employees she had a bomb.

Police responded and 37-year-old Phelps was captured a short time later.

She was formally charged with 2 counts of armed robbery, 2 counts of making a bomb threat and 1 count of attempted armed robbery.

She's currently being held in Greenville County Detention Center after a judge denied her bond.

Mira Sorvino says Harvey Weinstein's wasting precious time and money -- taxpayers' money -- with his "not guilty" plea ... because he's guilty as sin and everyone knows it.

We got Mira in NYC Wednesday outside NBC, and asked what she thought of his arraignment this week. Remember, Mira says Weinstein sexually harassed her multiple times while she was acting in his films back in the '90s.

Mira's said she won't feel at peace until Weinstein's convicted, and it's clear in this clip ... she wants a quicker path to that end -- so, his not guilty plea ain't sitting well with her.

We know this ... Mira's dad, Paul Sorvino, might be the only person who wants Weinstein to pay more than her.

Glen "Big Baby" Davis has been formally charged with felony assault stemming from an alleged violent altercation in April and if he's convicted ... he faces up to 7 YEARS in prison, TMZ Sports has learned.

We broke the story ... the 32-year-old ex-NBA player was arrested last month after prosecutors say he beat the living hell out of a man outside a West Hollywood nightclub.

The alleged victim was hospitalized with several major injuries including facial fractures, a broken tooth and broken ribs.

A rep for the L.A. County District Attorney's office tells us the official charge is felony assault with force likely to cause great bodily injury ... and it carries a possible 7-year prison sentence.

Ex-WWE superstar Brian Christopher Lawler -- who famously wrestled as Grandmaster Sexay in the tag team Too Cool with Scotty 2 Hotty -- was arrested in Memphis after allegedly running from a hotel bill.

46-year-old Lawler -- the son of Jerry "The King" Lawler -- was allegedly staying at a Hampton Inn in downtown Memphis ... when he tried to flee the place without paying.

Cops found Lawler a short time later and arrested him for theft of services under $1,000. Lawler reportedly told cops he used a credit card that simply didn't have the funds to cover the $802 hotel bill.

Lawler has a history with cops ... he was arrested at least 3 times in 2009 -- once for disorderly conduct and another time for allegedly threatening a police officer.

Nancy Grace says Harvey Weinstein needs to stop bitchin' about not being able to get a fair trial because he's not a victim here.

We got the former prosecutor and current TV host Wednesday at LAX, where we asked what she made of Weinstein's legal team's concerns that they're not getting access to info needed to defend their client.

Nancy unloads on Weinstein, asking if he ever thought it was fair to all the women he allegedly sexually assaulted. But she makes an even more interesting point ... if O.J. was able to secure an unbiased trial in L.A., Weinstein shouldn't have any trouble in NYC.

Nancy says God help Weinstein if he takes the stand, and uses a Thanksgiving metaphor to describe what will go down.

Harvey Weinstein's legal team feels prosecutors aren't sharing information ahead of his criminal case, and have therefore advised him not to testify before the grand jury.

Weinstein's attorney, Ben Brafman, says his office has been "unfairly denied access to critical information about this case." He added ... Weinstein won't take the stand as the rape case proceeds, because without that information he can't properly defend him.
