Crime & Arrests

TMZ Sports has obtained footage of the incident that led to Adam "Pacman" Jones' arrest ... showing the ex-NFL star getting heated with flight attendants and passengers before being booted from his flight -- but the former Bengal believes the video proves he did nothing wrong.

39-year-old Jones was heading to New Jersey from the Cincinnati area for the New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills game early Monday morning ... when he asked to change seats due to a faulty electric outlet.

In the clips, Pacman is heard going back and forth with flight attendants about the technical issues ... and at one point, they explain the aircraft will be taken back to the gate due to his behavior.

Throughout his argument with one attendant, Pacman defends himself ... saying he was simply trying to relocate to a seat that worked. Sources tell us Pacman was hoping to charge his iPad so he could go over his notes for the Monday Night Football matchup he was slated to cover later that night.

As the plane was heading back to the gate, Pacman sounded off over the debacle ... cussing and bickering with pissed-off passengers who were upset about the delay.

In fact, Jones is heard referring to several travelers as "crackers" ... bragging about his wealth and asking why no one backed him up.

Once the plane got back to the gate, Jones was met by Northern Kentucky International Airport police officers, who took him into custody.

Jones was booked for disorderly conduct, alcohol intoxication and terroristic threats ... but he tells us the charges are bogus.

"I did not threaten anyone," Pacman tells TMZ Sports. "I was not drunk. And, as the video clearly shows, I was the one who was mistreated."

El prófugo Danelo Cavalcante ha sido capturado luego de una masiva y alocada persecución de dos semanas que hizo temer a todo el estado de Pensilvania.

Cavalcante, un asesino convicto, fue detenido el miércoles sin incidentes por un equipo SWAT en la misma zona rural donde entró en una casa y robó un rifle después de recibir un disparo por el residente.

Se desconocía su estado tras 14 días de fuga, pero en un vídeo se le veía alerta y receptivo mientras estaba detenido.

En un momento dado, un gran grupo de los agentes que participaron en su captura se reunieron alrededor de Danelo para posar para una foto con el fugitivo capturado.

Las imágenes también muestran a agentes con uniforme militar que esposan a Cavalcante y lo introducen en la parte trasera de un camión blindado negro. El camión se alejó calle abajo con las luces rojas parpadeando.

La buena noticia llega luego de que un equipo especializado en fugitivos buscara a Cavalcante por toda Pensilvania. Aunque se produjeron varios avistamientos, Cavalcante consiguió eludir la captura, hasta hoy.

Cavalcante escapó el 31 de agosto escalando un muro del patio de recreo de la prisión del condado de Chester. Trepó por encima del alambre de espino, corrió por el tejado y saltó al suelo.

Pennsylvania escaped prisoner Danelo Cavalcante has been captured ... this, after a massive, crazy two-week manhunt that put the entire state in fear.

Cavalcante, a convicted murderer, was arrested Wednesday without incident by Border Patrol Tactical Unit (BORTAC) and SWAT teams in the same rural town where he broke into a home and stole a rifle after getting shot at by the resident.

His condition after 14 days on the lam was not known, but video appeared to show him conscious and alert while in custody.

At one point, a large group of the officers involved in his capture all gathered around Danelo to pose for a pic with the captured fugitive.

The footage also captured officers in military gear handcuffing Cavalcante and leading him into the back of a black armored truck. The truck then took off down the street with its red lights flashing.

The good news comes after a fugitive task force had been looking under every rock in Pennsylvania for Cavalcante. While there were a number of sightings, Cavalcante managed to elude capture ... until today.

Cavalcante made his getaway August 31 when he scaled a wall in the recreational yard at Chester County Prison. He climbed over razor wire, ran across a roof and jumped to the ground below, fleeing the area.

Gunna's return to Los Angeles will be just as smooth sailing as his NYC one ... at least according to AD, who feels the saga of Gunna's alleged snitching is officially in his rearview!!!

We got Mr. Cuhmunity himself Tuesday at LAX where he noted one tidbit about Gunna's upcoming L.A. sold-out show -- the people obsessed with street gossip about snitching aren't the ones buying tickets to Gunna's concerts.

Gunna filled Barclays Center with fans last weekend ... a good indicator he can successfully tour again as a solo artist.

The embattled YSL rapper was harassed in public this summer -- and AD says that's just the side-effect of Gunna getting sprung from jail early, as the public was still weighing in on why he got out.

Now, AD didn't exactly cop to pushing play on Gunna's music himself, but admitted he hears it out at all the poppin' spots around town.

He did, however, make it clear it's still "Free Young Thug" all day, every day on his end.

Brittney Griner is adding another accolade to her resume ... the Phoenix Mercury star has just won AP Comeback Player of the Year honors -- some nine months after she returned to the United States from Russian detainment.

The Mercury announced the award on Tuesday ... revealing the 6-foot-9 center would share the hardware with Lynx forward Napheesa Collier, who came back to Minnesota this season after sitting out last year to give birth to her first child.

As we reported, Griner was arrested in February 2022 after Russian authorities said she had hash oil in her luggage at an airport. She was eventually sentenced to nine years in prison in the case, though she was set free following a prisoner swap for arms dealer Viktor Bout.

A couple months after she landed back on U.S. soil -- she signed a one-year deal with the Mercury -- and she shined in her return to the hardwood ... averaging 17.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game.

The season wasn't without its lows, however ... she did battle injuries, and she took a few games off for a mental health break. She also infamously had a run-in with a troll at an airport.

But, she was selected to her ninth WNBA All-Star team regardless ... and last week, when reflecting on the season, she told media members, "I tell you one thing, it's not good being at the end of the standings but it's better than where I was a year go, that's for sure."

Earlier Tuesday, Breanna Stewart took home AP Player Of The Year honors ... while Aces star Alysha Clark won Sixth Woman of the Year. Sun honcho Stephanie White won Coach of the Year ... and 2023 first overall pick Aliyah Boston won Rookie of the Year.

El hombre que se escapó de la cárcel en Pennsylvania y que actualmente está en la carrera no es el Robin Hood de la gente, y probablemente lo capturen pronto. Esas son las palabras de un ex U.S. Marshal.

Hablamos con Art Roderick el martes en "TMZ Live" y le preguntamos al veterano oficial— que ha trabajado en casos como este con anterioridad— si Danelo Cavalcante está preparado para eludir a las autoridades para siempre, teniendo en cuenta que ha estado sin capturar durante casi 2 semanas.

Roderick cree que el fugitivo será llevado ante la justicia, sin embargo, reconoce que las cosas están empezando a verse un poco complicadas teniendo en cuenta que su ubicación está en constante cambio. Además, la única forma de hacer el seguimiento es por medio de la gente que lo ha visto y pronosticando a donde se dirige.

Dicho esto, Roderick confía en que Cavalcante será detenido y que es sólo cuestión de tiempo.

Por supuesto, el último desarrollo es preocupante, Cavalcante se robó un rifle de una casa en un pequeño pueblo de Pensilvania. Así que ahora está armado y es peligroso, lo que sin duda complica las cosas.

Roderick reconoce la gravedad de la situación, pero confía en que este tipo no quiere hacerle daño a nadie, lo más probable es que esté intentando huir del país.

A la pregunta de si los lugareños podrían aceptar su historia de bandido en la línea de los antihéroes estadounidenses como D.B. Cooper, Roderick responde que la gente de la zona sabe muy bien que no es un buen tipo y no lo aceptarán.

The man who escaped prison in Pennsylvania -- and who's currently on the run -- ain't no Robin Hood of the people, and he'll likely be caught soon ... so says a former U.S. Marshal.

We talked to Art Roderick Tuesday on "TMZ Live" and asked the veteran law enforcement official -- who's worked on cases like this one before -- if Danelo Cavalcante is primed to elude the authorities for good, considering he's gone uncaptured for almost 2 weeks.

Roderick tells us he does believe this fugitive will be brought to justice eventually, however ... he does acknowledge it's starting to look a little murky considering their ever-changing perimeters based on where this guy is spotted and where he might realistically be heading.

With that said ... Roderick is confident Cavalcante is going to be apprehended, and that it's just a matter of time.

Of course, the latest development is a concerning one -- Cavalcante snagged a rifle from someone's home in a small PA town. So, now, he's armed and dangerous ... which certainly ups the ante.

Roderick acknowledges the severity of the situation, but says he's confident this guy probably isn't out to hurt anyone -- in all likelihood, he's probably trying to flee the country.

On the question of whether locals might embrace his bandit-esque story -- in the vein of American antiheroes like D.B. Cooper -- Roderick halts that notion in its tracks, saying people in that area know damn well this isn't a good guy, and will not embrace him.

Una celebración se convirtió en caos cuando una boda en Rhode Island terminó en una pelea sin cuartel con los agentes de policía... y todo está en video.

Media docena de miembros de la fiesta de la boda fueron detenidos la madrugada del domingo después de una pelea con la policía fuera de un restaurante de Newport. Las imágenes muestran cómo el incidente pasó de una interacción tensa a un combate brutal.

En el vídeo, los puñetazos lanzados por ambas partes vuelan y se conectan y una mujer con un vestido naranja —que la policía identificó más tarde como Alexandra Flaherty— se ve pateando a un policía en la ingle.

Otra mujer de la boda queda inconsciente y cae al suelo cuando un agente la reduce.

En el informe obtenido por TMZ, el policía dice que la mujer estaba por alcanzar su arma de fuego cuando se dio la vuelta y le lanzó un puñetazo que conectó con su mandíbula. La policía dice que la mujer —más tarde identificada como Rachael Onik— finalmente tomó conciencia y fue detenida.

La policía dice que el marido de Rachael, David Onik, inició todo el asunto luego de que se le negara la entrada a un bar. La policía dice que David se puso violento con el personal del bar y llamaron a la policía.

La policía dice que cuando los oficiales llegaron a hablar con David, su esposa "comenzó a meterse en el incidente y a no cooperar" y cuando un oficial trató de hacerla retroceder, tropezó en la calle empedrada. Ahí es donde el vídeo recoge y se desata el desastre.

Las imágenes también muestran a un hombre con traje y corbata al que la policía identificó más tarde como Robert Nash, golpeando a un policía en la cara, tirándolo al suelo y golpeándolo después.

Celebration turned to chaos as a Rhode Island wedding party got into an all-out brawl with police officers ... and it's all on video.

Half a dozen members of the wedding party were arrested early Sunday morning following a melee with cops outside a Newport restaurant ... and footage shows the incident escalating from a tense interaction to straight-up combat.

In the video, punches thrown by both sides fly and connect ... and a woman in an orange dress, who police later identified as Alexandra Flaherty, is seen kicking a cop in the groin.

Another woman in the wedding party gets knocked out cold ... hitting the deck when an officer throws her to the ground.

In the police report, obtained by TMZ, the cop says the woman was reaching for his firearm when he turned around and threw a punch connecting with her jaw. Police say the woman, later identified as Rachael Onik, eventually became conscious and was arrested.

Cops say Rachael's husband, David Onik, started the whole thing when he threw a fit after being denied entry to a bar. Police say David got physical with bar staff, who called the cops.

Police say when officers arrived to talk to David, his wife "began injecting herself into the incident and becoming uncooperative" ... and when an officer tried to move her back, she tripped on the cobblestone street. That's where the video picks up and all hell breaks loose.

Footage also shows a man in a suit and tie, who police later identified as Robert Nash, punching a cop in the face, taking him to the ground and then pummeling him.

La persecución del prófugo de Pensilvania ha dado un giro inesperado, al parecer, el asesino irrumpió en una casa y le dispararon mientras robaba un rifle.

El lunes por la noche, Danelo Cavalcante forzó la entrada de su casa en East Nantmeal Township, un pequeño pueblo en la zona rural de Pensilvania, según Fox 29 Philadelphia.

El medio de comunicación informó de que el residente sacó una pistola y disparó 7 tiros a alguien que encajaba con la descripción de Cavalcante. El ladrón se dio a la fuga, pero no antes de llevarse el rifle del calibre 22 del interior de la casa.

Los investigadores no pudieron confirmar si el hombre que se creía que era Cavalcante resultó herido, pero dijeron que sus zapatillas podrían haberse encontrado cerca. La policía considera ahora a Cavalcante armado y peligroso, y ha cerrado una escuela debido a la amenaza que representa.

TMZ publicó la noticia, Dog the Bounty Hunter podría unirse a las autoridades en su búsqueda masiva del asesino convicto que fue condenado a cadena perpetua luego de apuñalar mortalmente a su ex novia en 2021.

Cientos de agentes que forman parte de un grupo especializado en fugitivos, están buscando a Cavalcante por todos los rincones del estado. Se han producido varios avistamientos la última semana, pero ninguno de ellos ha conducido a su captura.

Cavalcante se dio a la fuga el 31 de agosto cuando escaló un muro del patio de recreo de la prisión del condado de Chester. Trepó por encima del alambre de espino, corrió por un tejado y saltó al suelo, ganando así su libertad.

The manhunt for the escaped Pennsylvania prisoner Danelo Cavalcante just got a whole lot crazier … the killer reportedly broke into a house and got shot at while stealing a rifle.

On Monday night, Cavalcante forced his way inside the home in East Nantmeal Township, a tiny village in rural PA, according to Fox 29 Philadelphia.

The outlet reported the resident pulled a gun and fired 7 shots at someone who fit the description of Cavalcante. The burglar got the hell out of dodge, but not before he swiped the .22 Caliber rifle from inside the house.

Investigators could not confirm if the man believed to be Cavalcante was injured but said his sneakers might have been found nearby. Police now consider Cavalcante armed and dangerous, closing a school due to the threat he poses.

The frightening development comes as TMZ broke the story … Dog the Bounty Hunter might join authorities in their massive search for the convicted murderer, who was sentenced to a life term after fatally stabbing his ex-girlfriend in 2021.

Hundreds of officers, part of a fugitive task force, are looking in every nook and cranny across the state for Cavalcante. There have been a number of sightings over the past week or so, but none of them have led to his capture.

Cavalcante made his getaway August 31 when he scaled a wall in the recreational yard at Chester County Prison. He climbed over razor wire, ran across a roof and jumped to the ground below, winning his freedom.

The Dodgers appear to be done with Julio Urias following his arrest earlier this month ... the team has removed the star's locker from its clubhouse -- and scrubbed a couple murals he was featured in around its home stadium as well.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the ace's locker was given away to the team's new infielder, Kolten Wong, after Urias was arrested for allegedly roughing up his girlfriend back on Sept. 3 at an MLS game in L.A.

In an interview with reporters Monday afternoon, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said he believed the decision indicated the team was moving on from Urias.

"It's sad," he said, revealing he hasn't spoken to Urias since the arrest. "It's sad on every level."

He added, "It's a very, very unfortunate, sad situation."

In addition to booting him from the locker room, the Dodgers also removed at least two images of Urias from Dodger Stadium -- including painting over one mural he was prominently featured in.

Urias is currently away from the team after the MLB put him on administrative leave while it investigates claims he pushed a woman into a fence after watching Lionel Messi compete against LAFC. Urias is facing one felony charge of corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant over the allegations.

"Pawn Stars" cast member Corey Harrison had bloodshot eyes, a blank stare, and reeked like booze during his DUI traffic stop ... so says the cop who busted the reality star.

TMZ broke the story, Harrison was arrested for DUI early Friday morning in Vegas on his way home. According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Corey was driving his white Ford F250 pickup and unable to maintain his lane ... at times swerving into the bike lane.

Cops say when they pulled Corey over and made contact, he smelled like booze and had bloodshot eyes, but explained his truck sometimes pulls to the right.

The report states officers gave Corey a field sobriety test and asked he provide a blood or breath sample. When Corey allegedly replied he should "probably ask for his lawyer" the officer informed him they'd get a search warrant for his blood, and if he did refuse his driver's license would be revoked.

Corey eventually agreed to provide a breath sample, but the report states the breathalyzer at the jail was broken, so Corey allowed his blood to be drawn. The report does not state the results of the blood sample, but Corey was booked for DUI.

Houston Rockets player Kevin Porter Jr. was arrested on Monday ... after allegedly hitting his girlfriend and putting his hands around her neck.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports the incident happened at the Millennium Hotel in New York.

We're told police responded to a call of a dispute around 6:45 AM ... and at the scene, cops observed a laceration above the 26-year-old woman's right eye and noticed there was blood on her face.

The woman -- who also complained of neck pain -- claimed KPJ struck her multiple times throughout her body during the physical altercation. EMS responded to the scene ... and the girlfriend was taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.

Porter is currently behind bars in New York on assault and strangulation charges.

Our sources claim Porter's girlfriend was upset over how long he stayed out earlier in the night ... so she locked the doors to keep him from entering their room when he got back.

We're told KPJ eventually got into the room with help from hotel security ... and the alleged altercation ensued minutes later. Witnesses say the girlfriend ran out to the hallway of the hotel and screamed for help.

KPJ -- the 30th overall pick out of 2019 NBA draft -- has played for the Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers so far in his career ... averaging 19.2 points and 5.7 assists a game for Houston last season.

Ex-NFL star Adam "Pacman" Jones was arrested for making terroristic threats and alcohol intoxication at an airport near Cincinnati early Monday morning ... after officials say police were called to assist with an "unruly passenger."

TMZ Sports has confirmed the former 6th-overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft was taken into custody around 6 AM ... and was officially booked an hour later.

Jones is facing misdemeanor charges of alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct and terroristic threatening. While we're working to gather more information, the latter charge is especially of note ... considering Monday is the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Prior to the arrest, Jones posted a video of himself walking through the Northern Kentucky International Airport ... ranting about the Bengals' 24-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

This isn't Jones' first run-in with the law ... and isn't his first airport incident, either -- he famously got in a brawl in Atlanta back in 2018, although officials determined he was not the aggressor.

Jones -- who played for the Titans, Cowboys, Bengals and Broncos over the course of his 13-year career -- was most recently arrested in 2021 ... after he got in a violent altercation at a bar in Cincinnati.

8.30 AM PT -- Adam "Pacman" Jones compartió su versión del incidente tras salir de la cárcel, defendiéndose apasionadamente ante un grupo de periodistas.

Pacman afirma que no hizo nada malo y calificó de ridículas las acusaciones en su contra por amenazas terroristas y negó rotundamente estar borracho durante el supuesto altercado.

"¿Te parece que estoy borracho?", le preguntó Pacman a un periodista. "Sólo he estado encerrado dos horas".

"Estás hablando de las 6:30 de la mañana. ¿Quién diablos está borracho a las 6:30 de la mañana?".

Pacman - que no es ajeno a la controversia - dice ser la víctima de la situación, añadiendo: "Esta s*** se está haciendo vieja, hermano. Se está haciendo viejo. Y tenemos que dejar de hacer esto".

Pacman, que no es ajeno a la controversia, dice ser la víctima de la situación, añadiendo: "Me estoy volviendo viejo, hermano. Este **** se está haciendo viejo, y tenemos que dejar de hacer esto".

También hizo un llamado a los medios de comunicación a "informar de los pu**** hechos", explicando que todo se desencadenó cuando pidió que lo cambiaran de asiento porque el enfuche eléctrico del lugar que le habían asignado no funcionaba.

La ex estrella de la NFL Adam "Pacman" Jones fue arrestado por realizar amenazas terroristas y estar en estado de ebriedad en un aeropuerto cercano a Cincinnati la madrugada del lunes. Los funcionarios dicen que llamaron a la policía para que los ayudara con un "pasajero rebelde".

TMZ Sports confirmó que el ex número 6 en el Draft de la NFL 2005 fue puesto bajo custodia alrededor de las 6 AM, y fue oficialmente ingresado una hora más tarde.

Jones se enfrenta a cargos de delito menor por estado de ebriedad, conducta desordenada y amenazas terroristas. Aunque estamos trabajando para reunir más información, este último cargo es especialmente importante teniendo en cuenta que el lunes es el aniversario de los atentados del 11 de septiembre de 2001.

Antes de la detención, Jones publicó un video de sí mismo caminando por el Aeropuerto Internacional de Northern Kentucky, despotricando sobre la derrota de los Bengals por 24-3 ante los Cleveland Browns.

Este no es el primer encontronazo de Jones con la justicia y tampoco su primer incidente en un aeropuerto. En 2018, fue agarrado públicamente en una pelea en Atlanta, aunque los funcionarios determinaron que no había sido el agresor.

Jones -quien jugó para los Titans, Cowboys, Bengals y Broncos en el transcurso de su carrera de 13 años- fue arrestado más recientemente en 2021, después de estar envuelto en un violento altercado en un bar en Cincinnati.
