Arrests

A woman who claims to have been attending service during the Minnesota church protest covered by Don Lemon last month is now suing Lemon and other protesters, saying she suffered severe emotional distress as a result of the incident.

In court documents, obtained by TMZ, Ann Doucette claims she was attending a worship service at The Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on January 18 ... when she alleges Don and others "unlawfully interfered" with her ability to "freely exercise her religion in a private place of worship."

Remember ... the demonstration was held in the wake of Renee Good's death and was meant to confront the Cities Church pastor David Easterwood, who is a Minneapolis ICE official.

Doucette is suing for an unspecified amount, claiming she suffered "severe emotional distress, fear, anxiety, and trauma" as a result of the protesters' conduct.

Weston Gosa -- Whitney Purvis' baby daddy -- has been arrested for felony shoplifting ... TMZ has learned.

The "16 & Pregnant" star was arrested and booked on a charge of felony theft by shoplifting Friday in connection with the alleged events of November 6, 2025 ... when cops say he stole $542.96 worth of merchandise from a company called Tractor Supply in Georgia.

Gosa -- sporting a thick salt-and-pepper beard -- looks none too happy to be in police custody in the mug shot.

Ghislaine Maxwell's brother is publicly backing former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor ... claiming his actions may have been "sleazy" -- but, prosecutors clearly can't find any sexual misconduct dirt on him.

Ian Maxwell -- Ghislaine's older brother -- spoke with the UK publication The Telegraph on Thursday ... which just so happened to be the day Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The former prince had a known association with Ghislaine and her late partner Jeffrey Epstein ... so naturally, the arrest came up.

Maxwell says Mountbatten-Windsor is going through an even more difficult time than his sister -- because while he and other family members stand behind her, he thinks the royals have abandoned Andrew.

"American Idol" alum Caleb Flynn appeared in court on Friday after being charged with murdering his wife ... and he's standing by the fact that he just wants to care for his two daughters, who were allegedly asleep in another room during the time of the killing.

Flynn remotely stepped foot into Miami County Municipal Court for his arraignment, where he is seen on video emphasizing to the judge he just wants to "take care of his daughters" ... and in terms of being a flight risk, he adds "I'm not a risk" while holding back tears.

His lawyer is heard in the video -- even though it's a bit hard to hear -- saying Flynn's entering a plea of not guilty and asking for a preliminary hearing to be scheduled for late February.

The "American Idol" alum charged with murdering his wife allegedly shot her inside their Ohio home while their two children slept in another room, according to a new report.

Caleb Flynn was arrested Thursday on charges of murder, assault and tampering with evidence in connection with the fatal shooting of his wife Ashley in their Tipp City home, just north of Dayton, police said. 

The Dayton Daily News obtained a police affidavit, stating the couple's two daughters were home at the time of the shooting, but did not wake up and were still in their bedroom when police arrived on scene. The family's two Goldendoodles were also in the house during the shooting, according to the affidavit.

Police say Caleb shot Ashley in the head but tried to cover up the murder by trying to make it look like a fatal home invasion burglary. Cops found Ashley in bed with at least one gunshot wound to the head and two spent shells on the floor nearby, the docs say.

The neighbor told the cop the Range Rover was parked at a home nearby. The officer went over to the home and says Kim answered the door. According to the report, she admitted the Range Rover was hers and that she had used it recently.

“I know what this is about,” Kim told the officer. Cops say she admitted to hitting the truck that was parked on the side of the road but said “another car” had caused her to collide with the car.

She told the police she planned to go back to the scene later. When asked if she had any drinks that night, cops say Kim told them she had two margaritas at Chili’s.

The Department of Justice shared news of the verdict Friday morning, saying Gray was the mastermind of a scheme to bill Medicare for "unnecessary genetic tests designed to evaluate the risk of various cardiovascular diseases and conditions."

In reality, the DOJ says there was no medical need for the tests ... but Gray kept billing Medicare, to the tune of an astounding $328 million, which resulted in a return of around $54 million from the government agency.

Darius McCrary won't be sentenced for missing a court appearance related to his failure to pay child support until next year ... but, even when he does, it sounds like one of his kids holds no ill will toward him.

The judge in McCrary's case ruled sentencing will take place January 25, 2027. The judge ordered McCrary to stay away from firearms, maintain employment, and not to try and contact the woman in this case for the next 11 months.

Andrew was arrested earlier today on suspicion of sending confidential British trade reports to Jeffrey Epstein back in 2010 ... allegedly revealed in Epstein Files documents amid his longtime friendship with the convicted pedophile.

One of Shia LaBeouf's alleged assault victims from his crazy night in New Orleans Monday told police Shia repeatedly hurled gay slurs at him during the alleged attack.

According to the report, Shia said at one point, "These f*****s put me in jail. I'm a Catholic."

An out-of-control driver slammed into the back of a school bus on a Florida street, shearing off his roof, somehow survived ... and later got arrested for an unrelated crime.

Here's the deal ... the Lee County Sheriff's Office shared a video of a Jaguar rapidly accelerating down a road in Fort Myers Wednesday, running headlong into the bright yellow bus.

It looks like a pretty nasty crash initially ... with the car wedged hard underneath the rear of the bus. However, authorities say the driver -- 32-year-old Jacob Novak -- was relatively uninjured and no children were riding in the bus at the time. The bus driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.

King Charles III is weighing in on the arrest of his brother, formerly known as Prince Andrew, saying he fully supports the police investigation into Andrew's alleged wrongdoing in connection with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

As the world knows, Andrew was arrested Thursday by British cops at his home in England on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

The ex-royal has been under tremendous scrutiny due to his longtime association with Epstein, who died by suicide in his Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.

King Charles has now issued a public statement, sharing that he's deeply concerned after learning of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest. 

Charles then said there will be a "full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities."

The family of the late Virginia Giuffre -- who publicly accused convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and former Prince Andrew of sexual abuse, and died by suicide last year -- is applauding the Andrew's arrest Thursday.

Her brother Sky Roberts and sister-in-law Amanda Roberts told NBC News the arrest feels like a "surreal moment" and a "piece of justice" that Giuffre has been fighting for.

Her siblings told CBS News in a separate statement... "At last, today, our broken hearts have been lifted at the news that no one is above the law, not even royalty."

The younger brother of King Charles III was arrested over suspicions of misconduct in public office after being accused of sharing confidential information with Epstein while working for the British government in 2010.

Check out the footage of him from fellow Mardi Gras attendees in New Orleans -- the former Disney star is super nonchalant as he's approached by a streamer ... and claims he's not anyone famous. Yet, he's got no problem talking to the thrilled fans eager to get a word in with him.

In other video, he's happily waving his release papers as he vibes with the crowd. Court docs obtained by TMZ confirm he was released from jail on his own recognizance ... which means he was let out of the clink without paying bail.
