Arrests

Mackenzie Shirilla is trying to breathe new life into her latest appeal ... but Ohio prosecutors say she's merely recycling arguments the court already rejected.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office urges the Supreme Court of Ohio to deny Shirilla's motion for reconsideration ... arguing she has not raised a single new issue warranting another look at her case.

Prosecutors acknowledge reconsideration can be used to correct a decision later deemed erroneous ... but say it is not available when someone simply reargues their case.

Celeste Rivas' parents made the trek into court on Tuesday ... looking serious as they arrived for the preliminary hearing in D4vd's murder case.

Jesus Rivas and Mercedes Martinez were spotted walking down the street in downtown Los Angeles ... holding hands on their way into the courthouse ... and looking solemn.

Celeste's parents have attended some of the prior court proceedings ... so it's not a total surprise to see them in court today ... but today's prelim won't be any easier for them to stomach.

A murder suspect behind the wheel of a Range Rover led California Highway Patrol officers on a high-speed chase through Los Angeles County Tuesday morning ... reaching 117 MPH on a busy freeway before crashing on a surface street.

The suspect exited the freeway into a neighborhood near Paramount Boulevard and Bradbury Drive in the South San Gabriel Valley ... where the Range Rover sped through an intersection and struck a car, veering onto the sidewalk.

CHP caught up to them and performed a textbook PIT maneuver to disable the Range Rover.

D4vd's preliminary hearing begins today, and over the course of this week the prosecution will be presenting an avalanche of evidence in court as they try to convince a judge there's enough to warrant a murder trial ... and it's expected to get graphic.

The proceedings are finally getting underway after a few delays ... back in April, D4vd was arrested charged with first degree murder in the stabbing death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

D4vd -- real name is David Burke -- is also charged with continuous sexual abuse of a child under the age of 14 and unlawful mutilation of human remains.

It will be interesting to see what evidence the prosecution has -- they say they have DNA evidence, surveillance footage, text messages and phone records -- but they've already laid out some of it in court documents ... claiming D4vd and Celeste began a sexual relationship when she was 13.

Andrew and Tristan Tate are gearing up for a major legal battle ... 'cause their lawyer says they're "100 percent" fighting extradition back to the United Kingdom.

Lawyer Joseph McBride tells TMZ ... fighting extradition is a high bar, but he'll argue there are special circumstances why the brothers shouldn't be sent back. He says they're not a flight risk, pointing to what he calls their total compliance with the courts over the past three years. According to McBride, they haven't missed a single court date in either their Romanian human trafficking case or Palm Beach defamation case.

McBride says the brothers were "startled" when U.S. Marshals in plain clothes wearing vests and badges approached them during Saturday's arrest and ordered them to put their hands behind their backs.

D4vd's asking if he can ditch his handcuffs for his preliminary hearing in Celeste Rivas' murder case.

According to NBC 4 Los Angeles, the singer filed a motion requesting his cuffs and other restraints be removed for the prelim, which is set to start tomorrow.

D4vd's attorney, Blair Berk, said in the motion that he's never tried to escape or been disruptive, arguing that his 5 court appearances have all been uneventful.

Andrew and Tristan Tate are used to a life of luxury ... but now the two brothers are cooling their heels in a federal lockup -- and eating crappy prison food instead of lobster and steak.

The brothers are currently incarcerated at FCI Miami -- a low-security detention facility in Florida -- while awaiting extradition to the United Kingdom to face charges of rape and sex trafficking.

The food in the UK gets a bad rap ... but it's a delicacy compared to jail menus in the United States ... and we fond out what they've been eating since their arrests.

Tulsi Gabbard's brother Bhakti's family was pushing for him to get help due to an alleged mental health episode before he was arrested for allegedly trying to lure children into a hotel room ... at least according to his wife.

Bhakti's wife, Kimberley, filed for a temporary restraining order on July 17 ... the same day he was charged for an alleged July 12 incident at a Waikīkī hotel pool. In her petition, obtained by TMZ, she said her husband of nearly a decade has been exhibiting bizarre behavior.

Kimberly claimed Tulsi's brother recently renamed himself "Batarti" and "Jim Morrison Jr." ... and she says he had a "psychotic break."

She claims to have "photos and video to prove this erratic, impulsive, and bizarre behavior that has made me concerned and feel/fear for my safety."

"Long Island Lolita" Amy Fisher is back in the headlines ... this time over a disturbing animal cruelty case involving her eldest son, who is being accused of microwaving his pet cat.

25-year-old Brett Anthony Bellera is charged with aggravated animal cruelty ... after authorities say his pet cat, Reaper, died in December 2024 in what investigators describe as a horrific incident inside a South Florida apartment.

Investigators say a forensic examination determined Reaper suffered extreme pain before dying from "involuntary heat exposure" ... and the injuries are consistent with microwave radiation, immersion in hot water, or exposure to hot water vapor. Investigators have not publicly concluded which method caused the fatal injuries.

According to the Broward County Sheriff's Office, Bellera' girlfriend -- Jennifer Armenti -- is also charged.

Former Pittsburgh Steelers star running back Le'Veon Bell was busted over the weekend ... and it's connected to child support payments, or an alleged lack thereof.

Le'Veon's attorney, Thomas Shaffer, tells TMZ ... Le'Veon did not make support payments, which are based on a healthy NFL salary -- a salary he's not earned in years.

Shaffer notes the support guidelines by law are based on current income, not his NFL salary, so computing these guidelines on inaccurate information is unfair.

Le'Veon allegedly owes more than $50,000 for child support.

The child in question lives in Michigan ... which is why the Michigan Attorney General has the case.

Jason Bateman has played plenty of questionable characters ... but one of his wildest roles was apparently himself -- drunk, disorderly, dressed in leopard print and under arrest in Monaco.

The actor dropped the hilarious confession on a new episode of his podcast "SmartLess," telling co-hosts Will Arnett and Sean Hayes about the time a glamorous night at a casino in Europe went completely off the rails.

Take a listen ... Jason says he was busted for being "drunk and disorderly" while decked out in a "nice little leopard outfit" and fresh from the tables.

Tulsi Gabbard's older brother is facing criminal charges after Hawaii police say he allegedly tried to lure several young children to a hotel room by offering them money and gum.

According to the Honolulu Police Department, 55-year-old Batarti Gabbard, brother of President Trump's former Director of National Intelligence, was arrested Friday in connection with a July 12 incident at a Waikīkī hotel pool.

Cops say Gabbard approached multiple children including a 9 year old boy and allegedly offered them gum and cash if they followed him to a nearby hotel room. Police say he also asked the kids for their names and wrote them down in a notebook.

The man who allegedly stormed the "TODAY" show set Thursday and hurled racist remarks at Craig Melvin seems to have been taped in the background of one of the show's segments just before the whole thing went down.

You can see who appears to be Andrew Truelove hanging outside the studio at Rockefeller Center as Savannah Guthrie and Craig report on a massive 14-foot-long great white shark that may be heading for Cape Cod.

The man who appears to be Truelove can be seen pacing back and forth in the background during the segment ... seemingly smoking. TMZ has not independently confirmed this is the perp, but it looks like this person has the same hairstyle, mustache, and clothing from when he was seen cuffed by cops hours later.

Two U.S. Forest Service employees have been freed after being held at gunpoint for 15 hours in a Northern California national forest.

The horrifying incident went down Thursday at the Shasta-Trinity National Forest ... with authorities being alerted around 11 AM when a Forest Service law enforcement officer called the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office and reported the two employees -- whose identities have not been released -- were zip-tied and being held inside a trailer at gunpoint, according to Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue.

Authorities say more than two dozen law enforcement officers responded to the situation, including a SWAT team, snipers, hostage negotiators, bomb experts, and more. Deputies located the trailer using drones around 1 PM in a heavily forested campground area near Gumboot Lake.

Footage captured by the drones showed one of the suspects carrying an assault weapon and walking in and out of the trailer.

Tyler Robinson's dad doesn't seem to be hurting for cash ... because he runs a successful local masonry business.

According to the California Post, Matthew Robinson is back to work in St. George, Utah after his son spent days in court for the alleged murder of Charlie Kirk.

The outlet reports that folks who have done business with Tyler's pops say business is booming ... thanks to loyal clients and word-of-mouth.

Tyler's dad isn't cutting the checks for his son's defense ... taxpayers are on the hook ... and experts recently told the CA Post earlier this week that the bill could get up to $10 million, maybe more.

Scary moment at Beyoncé and Jay-Z's pad this week ... cops say a man crashed his car into the front gate of their swanky New York estate ... and he left in handcuffs.

The 63-year-old motorist drove his car "at a high rate of speed up the driveway" of their East Hampton mansion and smashed through the gates ... according to the police report, obtained by TMZ.

Officers say the man didn't the brakes when he came up on the mechanical gates, allegedly causing "significant damage."
