Crime & Arrests

Tori Spelling and her kids had a terrifying Wednesday after a SWAT team looking for a man with an assault rifle turned her block upside down.

Tori and co., along with her neighbors, were ordered to evacuate, and no one needed any encouragement to skedaddle.

Witnesses say the talk on the block was that a man next door to Tori's rental house was barricaded inside with an AR-15. Police took one man into custody.

Tori appeared visibly upset as she raced home in a full sprint ... frantically looking for her children. The actress and her family were in the thick of the action.

Tori stood behind the yellow police caution tape as the standoff played out ... and she was talking with neighbors and taking phone calls.

Jussie Smollett is getting help through a rehab treatment facility ... TMZ has confirmed with a rep from Smollett's camp.

The rep tells us, "Jussie has had an extremely difficult past few years. He has quietly been working very hard for some time now and we are proud of him for taking these necessary steps." We're told Smollett is in an outpatient program.

Smollett's rehab stint comes amid his ongoing appeal in his Chicago criminal case. As we've reported, Jussie was found guilty of lying to cops about an alleged attack back in 2019 where he claimed two masked Trump supporters attacked him and put a noose around his neck.

Jussie was sentenced to 150 days in jail for the incident, but was released from jail for his appeal a short time after the sentence. He's been spotted working on film sets here in California as the legal process plays out -- including a project with Vivica A. Fox -- where he seemed to be directing.

JS has also been hanging out with his former "Empire" costar, Taraji P. Henson, spotted on a hike in L.A. -- so, he hasn't necessarily been trying to lay low ... even hitting the BET Awards last year, catching a bit of flack from folks who were shocked to see him attend.

Though we don't know exactly what he's getting treated for ... drug use was mentioned quite a bit during his trial. The Osundairo brothers -- who claimed Jussie hired to be his attackers -- took to the stand to claim they were also his dealers ... and they supplied him with illegal substances on a number of occasions.

Antonio Brown soltó $15.000 para los pagos de manutención para los hijos después de su detención a principios de este mes. En un video que publicó el martes parecía bastante amargado por la situación.

Brown fue encerrado el domingo después de haber sido acusado de evadir los pagos a su ex, Wiltrice Jackson, pero poco tiempo después, se repartió los $15K necesario para salir de la cárcel.

El martes compartió un video en Instagram que lo muestra cantando algunas letras de Young Jeezy que parecía mostrar que estaba enojado con Jackson, la madre de su hija de 15 años de edad.

"Y no quiero decirle a mi hijo que sus madres no valen nada", canturreó mientras sostenía lo que parecía ser un recibo por el pago de manutención y un gran fajo de billetes. "Y esto no se trata de mí, ella es solo una perra hambrienta de dinero".

Jackson le dijo a TMZ Sports la semana pasada que estaba molesta con Brown por no pagar la manutención de su hija, alegando que le debía casi $31.000.

"Yo quiero que lo arresten", dijo. "Porque ahora mismo, se está burlando del juez... de todo, porque se siente intocable".

Myke Towers isn't looking to follow in his fellow Puerto Rican trapper Bad Bunny's footsteps by locking down a celeb relationship -- a la Kendall Jenner -- instead, the "LALA" artist says he has options, and he's ready to explore 'em!!!

TMZ Hip Hop quizzed the Reggaeton megastar about his relationship status outside 'Jimmy Kimmel,' and while he played it coy, Myke ultimately told us the single life works best for him now.

He made it clear, he doesn't want to piss off his existing roster of women. Yeah, we know, first-world playboy problems!!!

It's not hard to see why Myke is iffy on tying down the right one, he's been crackin' since winning the "Best New Artist" at the Billboard Latin Music Awards a couple of years ago.

He dropped his recent album "La Vida Es Una" back in March ... and his track "LALA" has been racking up platinum plaques in the Latin market left and right.

We also inquired about Tekashi 6ix9ine's current standing amongst fans in P.R., especially in light of his recent legal drama in the Dominican Republic for alleged assault.

The chiropractor to a ton of Hollywood stars -- ranging from the Kardashians to Logan Paul and Kevin Hart -- won't be providing services any time soon ... cuz he's now behind bars.

Dr. Patrick Khaziran is famous for appearing on "The Kardashians" and working with huge names like Jamie Foxx and Diddy ... but he got busted for his role in a fraud scheme with former NBA players and is now locked up at USP Lompoc in California.

Known as "Dr. Pat" to the Kardashians, he's featured on the latest episode of the famous family's Hulu series ... getting high praise from Khloe, who is trying to sell him as the answer to Scott Disick's lingering back problems from a 2022 car accident.

In the episode, Scott and Khloe pay Dr. Pat a visit at his chiropractic office in Los Angeles ... which prosecutors claimed was at the center of a scheme to defraud the NBA's health plan out of millions.

The feds say Dr. Pat created fraudulent invoices former NBA players used to bill the league's healthcare plan for medical services that were never actually provided.

The FBI says Dr. Pat was part of the fraud scheme from at least 2016 to 2019 ... during which the feds say he cost the NBA health plan $1.3 million in losses, pocketing $439K for himself and splitting the rest of the dough with former NBA players.

Dr. Pat, who is also a favorite of current NBA players Tristan Thompson and Justise Winslow, was ultimately convicted ... and in February he was sentenced to 30 months in prison.

Chandler Jones was just released from jail ... and apparently one of his first orders of business was to take a selfie video outside the station.

"Fresh out of jail again," Jones said in the clip. "Ya'll Pray For me."

Chandler Jones has been arrested in Las Vegas again.

The former Raiders star was locked up on Tuesday, according to jail records ... the second time in less than three weeks that police have placed the football player into custody.

Records show he was booked on a charge of violating a domestic violence temporary protection order ... and as of Wednesday morning, he remained behind bars.

No further details surrounding the arrest were made immediately available.

Jones was previously arrested for two counts of the same offense on Sept. 29 ... after authorities claimed he went to a woman's home, grabbed some of her items from her backyard, and then appeared to burn the stuff while "completely nude inside of his own backyard."

Jones was released by the Raiders shortly after the initial arrest.

The 33-year-old, however, appeared to be in good spirits following it ... smiling and laughing with artists while at a local tattoo shop in early October.

Antonio Brown coughed up $15,000 toward child support payments following his arrest earlier this month ... and in a video he posted Tuesday, he seemed bitter about the situation.

Brown was locked up on Sunday after he had been accused of ducking payments to his ex, Wiltrice Jackson ... but a short time later, he doled out the $15K necessary to get out of jail.

And, on Tuesday, he shared a video on Instagram showing him singing some Young Jeezy lyrics that seemed to show he was mad at Jackson, the mother of his 15-year-old daughter.

"And I don't wanna tell my child that his moms ain't s***," he belted out while holding what appeared to be a receipt for the child support payment and a large wad of cash. "And this ain't about me, she just a money hungry bitch."

Jackson told TMZ Sports just last week that she was upset with Brown for not paying child support for their daughter ... claiming he owed her nearly $31,000.

"I do want him arrested," she said. "Because, right now, he's making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he's untouchable."

La vida de Natalee Holloway se apagó de una manera enferma y brutal luego de que ella rechazó sexualmente a su asesino, Joran van der Sloot.

En documentos legales, obtenidos por TMZ, van der Sloot admite haber matado a Holloway en una transcripción de una confesión hecha a su abogado, donde expone los últimos minutos de su vida.

Joran dice que él y Natalee estaban caminando por la playa en Aruba después de una noche de fiesta en un bar local. Dice que los dos encontraron un espacio en la arena, se acostaron y empezaron a besarse. Joran le dice a su abogado: "Empiezo a tocarla otra vez y ella me dice que no. Me dijo que no quería que la tocara. Yo insisto. Sigo tocandola de cualquier".

Enojado, Joran dice que Natalee le da un rodillazo en la entrepierna y él se levanta y le da una patada "extremadamente fuerte" en la cara y la deja inconsciente.

En una confesión repugnante, van der Sloot dice que coge un bloque de hormigón y la golpea en la cabeza con él: "Le aplasto la cabeza con él completamente".

Inseguro de qué hacer con su cuerpo, van der Sloot dice que luego la lleva al agua, caminando hasta que está cerca de la rodilla y la empuja hacia fuera en el agua para que se la lleven.

Como hemos informado, van der Sloot estaba en la corte en Alabama el miércoles, donde participó en una declaración de culpabilidad de los cargos de fraude electrónico y extorsión después de decirle a la familia que iba a dar detalles de su muerte por dinero.

Sorprendentemente, van der Sloot ofreció una disculpa a la familia el miércoles, diciendo que había encontrado la religión, pero eso no funcionó con la madre de Holloway —Beth— quien dijo que siempre sería un asesino.

Natalee Holloway's life was ended in a sick and brutal way after she refused sexual advances from her killer, Joran van der Sloot.

In legal docs, obtained by TMZ, van der Sloot admits to killing Holloway in a transcript of a confession made to his attorney ... where he lays out the final minutes of her life.

Joran says he and Natalee were walking along the beach in Aruba after a late night out at a local bar. He says the two found a space on the sand, laid down, and started to kiss. Joran tells his attorney, "I start feeling her up again and she tells me no. She tells me she doesn't want me to - to feel her up. Uh, I insist. I keep feeling her up either way."

Angered by his advances, Joran says Natalee then knees him in the crotch ... and he stands up and kicks her "extremely hard" in the face and knocking her out.

In a sickening confession, van der Sloot then says he grabs a nearby cinder block and smashes her in the head with it ... "I smash her head in with it completely."

Unsure of what to do with her body, van der Sloot says he then carries her into the water, walking until he's about knee-deep and pushes her out into the water to be carried away.

As we reported, van der Sloot was in court in Alabama Wednesday where he entered a guilty plea to charges of wire fraud and extortion after telling the family he'd give up details of her death for money.

Shockingly enough, van der Sloot offered up an apology to the family Wednesday, saying he'd found religion ... but that didn't work with Holloway's mother, Beth, who said he'd always be a killer.

El misterio sobre la famosa desaparición de Natalee Holloway se ha aclarado de una vez por todas, porque el principal sospechoso acaba de admitir que la mató e intentó estafar a su familia.

Joran van der Sloot apareció en un tribunal de Alabama el miércoles, donde los fiscales le dijeron al tribunal que van der Sloot había confesado a los padres de Holloway que había tomado su vida. Al parecer, la apaleó hasta la muerte después de que ella rechazó sus insinuaciones sexuales, esto de acuerdo con la madre de Holloway, Beth, que también habló.

Ella dijo: "Usted no consiguió lo que quería de Natalee, su satisfacción sexual, por lo que brutalmente la mató", añadiendo que él "terminó con sus sueños, su potencial, sus posibilidades". En cuanto a lo que ocurrió con los restos de Natalee (que hasta ahora se desconocía) no se abordó explícitamente en el juicio.

Van der Sloot se declaró culpable de los cargos de fraude electrónico y extorsión a los que se enfrentaba aquí en EE.UU. El caso, aunque indirectamente vinculado a la muerte de Holloway, estaba inextricablemente relacionado con su desaparición.

Curiosamente, van der Sloot expresó remordimiento por el asesinato, diciendo que se había convertido en un cristiano nacido de nuevo, pero la madre de Holloway dijo que siempre sería un asesino sin importar nada.

El caso es un poco complicado, sobre todo porque ella desapareció hace casi 20 años en la isla de Aruba. Los funcionarios en Estados Unidos terminaron acusándolo por tratar de venderle información a la familia de Holloway sobre dónde estaban sus restos, Beth dice que en realidad pagó por desesperación.

Como parte de este acuerdo con la fiscalía, van der Sloot se vio obligado a aclarar finalmente los detalles de la desaparición de Holloway en 2005 y ahora lo ha hecho.

Holloway —que tenía 18 años— estaba en un viaje de graduación de la escuela secundaria en el territorio holandés y los testigos dicen que la vieron salir de un bar con van der Sloot y otros dos hombres, que desde hace tiempo se sospecha que estaban involucrados en el caso.

Los tres hombres fueron detenidos un par de veces durante los últimos años en relación con la desaparición de Holloway, pero también fueron liberados por falta de pruebas. Van der Sloot, sin embargo, es el que ha caído en el punto de mira de los EE.UU., ya que lo acusó en 2010, alegando que había tratado de extorsionar y estafar a la familia Holloway.

Aunque fue acusado en Estados Unidos hace más de una década no había sido extraditado hasta principios de este año, como parte de un acuerdo con el gobierno peruano. Verás, en realidad está cumpliendo una pena de prisión allí por un caso totalmente diferente, donde un tribunal lo declaró culpable de asesinar a otra mujer, Stephany Flores.

De todos modos, una vez que esto se resuelva, se informa que será enviado de vuelta a Perú para terminar su condena, y después de eso, presumiblemente regresará a Estados Unidos para comenzar a cumplir cualquier castigo que reciba como parte de este caso.

La historia de Holloway fue uno de los mayores casos de desaparición en la memoria reciente y su familia la declaró legalmente muerta en 2012 luego de muchos años de no tener respuestas.

The mystery over Natalee Holloway's famous disappearance was cleared up once and for all -- because the prime suspect just admitted he killed her and attempted to defraud her family.

Joran van der Sloot appeared in an Alabama court Wednesday, where prosecutors told the court van der Sloot had confessed to Holloway's parents that he'd taken her life ... apparently, he bludgeoned her to death after she refused his sexual advances -- this according to Holloway's mother, Beth, who also spoke.

She said, "You didn't get what you wanted from Natalee, your sexual satisfaction, so you brutally killed her" -- adding that he "terminated her dreams, her potential, her possibilities."

Beth says van der Sloot admitted to killing Natalee on the beach and putting her body in water.

Van der Sloot entered a guilty plea to charges of wire fraud and extortion that he was facing here in the U.S. case -- while indirectly tied to Holloway's death -- was inextricably linked to her disappearance.

Interestingly enough, van der Sloot expressed remorse for the killing, saying he'd become a born-again Christian -- but Holloway's mother, as she told him that he'd always be a killer ... no matter what.

While van der Sloot might've copped to killing Holloway -- that's not what he'll be punished for here in the U.S. The case is somewhat convoluted -- especially since she first vanished almost 20 years ago on the island of Aruba -- but basically ... officials in America ended up charging him for attempting to sell information to Holloway's family about where her remains are ... which Beth says she actually paid for out of desperation.

As part of this plea deal he struck with the prosecution, van der Sloot was forced to finally clear up the details of Holloway's disappearance in 2005 ... and now he has.

Holloway -- who was 18 -- was on a high school graduation trip in the Dutch territory ... and witnesses say they saw her leaving a bar with van der Sloot and two other men, who have long been suspected to have been involved in whatever it is that happened to her.

The 3 men were arrested a couple different times over the years in connection to Holloway's disappearance -- but they were also cut loose over a lack of evidence. Van der Sloot, however, is the one who's fallen into the crosshairs of the U.S. ... as they indicted him in 2010, alleging he'd tried extorting and defrauding the Holloway family.

While he was charged in America well over a decade ago, he hadn't gotten extradited until just earlier this year -- as part of an agreement with the Peruvian government. You see, he's actually serving a prison sentence there for an entirely different case ... where a court found him guilty of murdering a different young woman, Stephany Flores.

Anyway, once this is dealt with, he'll reportedly be shipped back to Peru to finish his sentence -- and, after that, presumably return to America to start serving whatever punishment he receives as part of this case.

The Holloway story was one of the biggest disappearance cases in recent memory -- and her family had her declared legally dead in 2012 after many years of going without answers.

42 Dugg is a free man again -- released from prison earlier after serving 17 months for gun possession ... TMZ Hip Hop has learned.

The Detroit rapper was greeted by family, friends and his CMG Records boss Yo Gotti on Monday outside the Georgia prison where he'd been since May 2022.

After a rousing welcome home, we're told they immediately got some good grub and headed straight to the studio!!!

If you recall, 42 lashed out about his prison conditions back in May of this year ... claiming he was being held illegally past his court date, and the U.S. Marshals were playing mind games with him as if they'd captured Ethan Hunt.

42 led the feds on a manhunt for months, starting at the end of 2021, when he was supposed to turn himself in to a West Virginia prison.

He eventually was sentenced to 1 year, and quickly had regrets after intake at the prison -- he lashed out at the lack of hot water and other amenities on the inside.

Gotti offered up a pretty penny for his release -- $2 million to any attorney able to get his sentence shortened.

No word if he ended up forking out that dough, but Dugg is definitely home.

His arrival comes just in time for the upcoming CMG Tour featuring, arguably, the hottest team in rap ... Moneybagg Yo, GloRilla, EST Gee and more.

A home belonging to Dodgers reliever Evan Phillips was burglarized earlier this month while he was away trying to help Los Angeles win a playoff series ... this according to cops.

Law enforcement tells TMZ Sports ... the break-in at Phillips' L.A.-area pad happened at some point while he was competing against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Division Series.

We're told one suspect smashed a rear window of Phillips' place, entered the home ... and then allegedly took jewelry and cash totaling over $10,000.

So far, no arrests have been made ... and an investigation remains ongoing.

Phillips, who's been pitching for the Dodgers since 2021, threw 2.1 innings in the series against the D-Backs, giving up no earned runs while striking out three. It's unclear if he was aware of the break-in while on the mound.

It's at least the third time cops say a Dodgers player has had to deal with a burglary at their home in the last few months ... police say places belonging to Max Muncy and Freddie Freeman were also ransacked by thieves this season.

We're told the Phillips case, however, does not appear to be connected to the other two.

La madre de la estrella de "The Sandlot", Marty York, compartió su preocupación en línea no mucho antes de que fuera asesinada, hablando sobre la salud mental de su novio. El hombre que Marty cree que la mató.

La madre de Marty, Deanna Esmaeel, escribió en un grupo de apoyo a la esquizofrenia en Facebook a principios de este mes, preguntando si "¿Alguien más aquí tiene cónyuge o pareja con esquizofrenia, la mía no confía en mí y me acusa de engañarlo constantemente".

Ella continuó afirmando que ha recibido insultos y "violencia física sin razón", refiriéndose a su novio, Daniel James Walter.

Deanna también dejó un comentario la semana pasada en el post de alguien que le preguntó cómo lidiar con el abuso procedente de una pareja esquizofrénica.

Ella respondió: "Aprenderás a ver un patrón en su comportamiento. Cuando veas el patrón, ponte tapones para los oídos o auriculares y sube el volumen de la música. No escuches. Sigue sonriendo".

También explicó que las reacciones abusivas no son un reflejo de los sentimientos de su pareja, añadiendo: "Hago que el mío fume marihuana, ya que el cannabis realmente detiene el episodio y lo redirige".

TMZ publicó la historia, Deanna fue encontrada muerta el jueves dentro de su casa. Justo había hecho una denuncia a la policía local acerca de ponerle a tención a Walter.

Los oficiales dijeron que Walter era un sospechoso, pero los oficiales solo fueron capaces de localizar su coche, aunque más tarde fue capturado en Oregon.

The mother of "The Sandlot" star Marty York shared her concerns online not long before she was murdered ... speaking out about the mental health of her boyfriend -- the man Marty believes killed her.

Marty's mom, Deanna Esmaeel, wrote in a schizophrenia support group on Facebook earlier this month, asking, "Anyone else here have spouse or significant other with schizophrenia .. mine doesn't trust me and accuses me of cheating constantly."

She went on to claim she's been on the receiving end of name-calling and him "becoming physical for no reason" ... referring to her boyfriend, Daniel James Walter.

Deanna also left a comment last week on someone's post, who asked how others deal with the abuse coming from a schizophrenic partner.

She replied, "You will learn to see a pattern in his behavior. When you see the pattern initiate put in earplugs or headphones and turn up the music. Don't listen. Keep smiling."

She told the anonymous asker the abusive reactions weren't reflective of their partner's feelings, adding, "I get mine to smoke pot as cannabis actually stops the episode and redirects it."

TMZ broke the story, Deanna was found dead Thursday inside her home, with the Del Norte County Sheriff's Office -- where she was a deputy -- putting out an alert to help track down Walter.

PD said Walter was a suspect, but officers were only able to locate his car ... although he was later captured in Oregon.

Rams starting cornerback Derion Kendrick was arrested in Los Angeles on Monday ... less than 12 hours after he helped his team beat the Arizona Cardinals.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ Sports ... the 23-year-old was pulled over early in the morning for a traffic violation -- and we're told during the stop, police found a gun and marijuana in his car.

Jail records show Kendrick was then booked at 2:14 AM PT on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon ... and as of 2:30 PM PT on Monday, he remained in custody.

Further details surrounding the arrest were not made immediately available. We've reached out to the Rams for comment, but so far, no word back yet.

Kendrick -- who was drafted by LA in 2022 -- played nearly every defensive down for the Rams just hours before his arrest ... logging two tackles in their 26-9 win at SoFi Stadium.
