Crime & Arrests

We're a few days away from throwback Thursday, but that didn't stop Baker Mayfield from strolling down memory lane during Monday night's "Manningcast," cracking a joke about his infamous 2017 arrest!

Mayfield was a guest on Eli and Peyton Manning's popular show, where the three quarterbacks were chopping it up with the 8-year pro and NFL star ... when they rolled a week 6 highlight of Baker scrambling, looking like a Mike Vick (not really) rather than the Bucs signalcaller.

The Giants legend then asked Bake when he got the time to practice scrambling ... and cue the comedy.

Jake Haro -- the man who pleaded guilty to killing his 7-month-old son, Emmanuel Haro -- was sentenced to 25 years to life in state prison Monday.

Last month, Jake pleaded guilty to second-degree murder -- an unlawful killing with "malice aforethought" -- as well as child endangerment and filing a false police report.

Emmanuel's mother, Rebecca Haro, separately pleaded not guilty to the same charge.

Blueface's homecoming from prison is already tested just hours after his release ... after his first baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, is ready to set it off on his 2nd, Chrisean Rock!!!

The "Thotiana" rapper served 21 months and reunited with his son Chrisean Jr. and 2 other kids with Jaidyn -- and she says she did NOT approve of Lil Javaughn and Journey being around a "crackhead." Uh oh!!!

Jaidyn abruptly cut off the stream, demanding everyone stay put so she can get to work ... talk about a Debbie Downer!!!

It didn't take long for Sean "Diddy" Combs to see a familiar face in prison ... because he ran across a famous basketball player from Brooklyn who he's known for years ... former NBA star Sebastian Telfair.

Diddy and Bassy are the most famous inmates doing time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey ... and they hung out Saturday in the prison yard ... and we have photos from their chat.

We showed you pics of the Bad Boy Records founder laughing and chatting with a bunch of convicts ... and Sebastian's publicist tells us that's him talking to Diddy in a couple of the photos.

Police in Peru had their spidey senses tingling on Halloween ... because they busted three suspected drug dealers ... with the help of an undercover officer in costume as Spider-Man!

Check out this video from the National Police of Peru ... you see the Spider-Man cop and some of his fellow agents busting into a home and arresting a criminal group known as "Los Diabolicos de Malambitoo."

The three folks who were arrested on Halloween by Spider-Man and Co. were allegedly involved in drug trafficking ... and police say they seized 2,100 packets of cocaine paste and a bunch of cash.

Sean "Diddy" Combs will have a quicker appeals process after a judge gave it the go-ahead ... and his lawyers and federal prosecutors could be making oral arguments as early as April 2026.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge on Monday approved Diddy's request for an expedited appeals process ... after the convicted mogul said it would be the only way to ensure justice can be done, given his relatively short sentence and the risk of him just serving it out while the appeal is pending.

The judge adopted Diddy's proposed briefing schedule and it looks like this ... Diddy's opening brief is due by December 23, the government's response is due by February 20, Diddy's reply is due by March 13 ... and if the timeline holds, oral arguments will be heard as early as April 2026.

Here's the first look at Sean "Diddy" Combs as an inmate at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey ... and he's all bundled up behind bars.

TMZ obtained this photo of the Bad Boy Records founder walking around the prison yard Friday during his recreation time.

As you can see, Diddy's got an orange prison beanie and a navy blue puffy jacket to keep warm. It was in the 50s today in Jersey, and Diddy's dressed for the cold.

Megan Thee Stallion's lawyers are going to pay Tory Lanez a visit in prison ... because a judge just ordered him to sit for a deposition in a lawsuit she filed.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Tory's attempt to dodge the deposition was denied.

Megan is suing blogger Milagro Cooper for an alleged online campaign to spread misinformation about her in the wake of Tory's conviction in the case about shooting her ... and Megan’s lawyers want to grill Tory under oath.

Joe Giudice says money goes a long way at Fort Dix -- the minimum-security prison where Diddy’s now doing time -- and it can make life a whole lot easier behind bars.

The former reality star -- who did hard time there from 2016 to 2019 -- tells TMZ inmates are “all about money,” and says Diddy could even dodge certain responsibilities if he’s willing to cough up some cash … like his new gig in the laundry room.

Joe says he used to pay other inmates to do the chores he didn’t want to do -- including prison work -- and claims Diddy could easily slide someone a few bucks to mark him as showing up for his job.

John Salley is certain Chauncey Billups didn't help rig card games to make the mob money ... saying this week he's "100 percent" sure his good friend was framed.

The NBA legend didn't make many bones about it during an airport chat on Thursday ... insisting there's just no way the suspended Portland Trail Blazers head coach knew of any kind of illegal activity at poker games he attended.

"You think Chauncey's got time to make [an X-ray] table?" Salley said. "Like, 'Hmm, we're going to make this table and we're going to go --?' No."

Sean "Diddy" Combs is all checked in at his new home for the next two-and-a-half years ... TMZ has learned he's begun serving his federal prison sentence.

Law enforcement sources tell us Diddy was transferred to FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey early Thursday morning and began the check-in process. Remember, this is the prison he requested to serve his time at after Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him to 50 months in prison.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons ultimately granted Diddy's request.

"Family Matters" star Darius McCrary has officially landed in a Michigan jail after being extradited from California ... and here's his fresh mug shot.

According to online records ... the former sitcom actor was booked into Oakland County Jail near the Detroit metro area on Wednesday night.

In the new photo ... Darius is seen in a blue jumpsuit, staring blankly into the camera.

4:17 PM PT -- DEA New York Special Agent in Charge Frank Tarentino tells TMZ ... "Today, justice has been delivered. While the arrest of these five individuals will not bring back the lives lost, we hope it brings some measure of closure to the families who continue to grieve the loss of their loved ones."

He continued ... "These arrests serve as a stark reminder of the dangers that social media can pose, and of the predators who hide behind social media applications, looking to exploit our youth and sell their fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills through digital connections. Whether you deal on the screens or in our streets, the DEA and our law enforcement partners remain committed to targeting those responsible. This is a fight to save lives."

The death of Robert De Niro's 19-year-old grandson Leandro Anthony De Niro-Rodriguez is allegedly linked to a criminal network that targeted teens and adults living in New York City ... this according to federal prosecutors.

Five alleged drug suppliers arrested in the case -- Bruce "Tea" Epperson, Eddie Barreto, Grant "Dizzy" McIver, John "John John" Nicolas and Roy Nicolas -- were purportedly wrapped up in a drug distribution ring that also involved 2 other unnamed drug dealers who helped distribute their supplies. One of the unnamed dealers allegedly sold Leandro the lethal batch of drugs that took his life.

The unnamed dealer allegedly DM'd back and forth with someone the documents refer to as "Victim 3" -- reportedly Leandro -- about providing him with fentanyl pills after the overdose death of another alleged victim.

Rosie O'Donnell says she's worried about her daughter Chelsea's safety when she's in prison ... but, at least for now, her accommodations at a Wisconsin jail seem easy enough to handle.

Marinette County Assistant Jail Administrator Jake Roberts tells TMZ ... Chelsea's housed in general population -- where she and the other inmates have dayroom time -- time in a shared common area outside of cells where they eat foods like chicken patties, tacos, pizza and rice -- from 6 AM to 10 PM.

Roberts tells us inmates have access to games -- with the ability to buy Phase 1, Uno, chess and checkers -- a TV, phones on the wall, a kiosk to send out messages and video visits ... so, she's got a line to the world outside. She's also able to see visitors.

Two years after the death of Robert De Niro's 19-year-old grandson, Leandro Anthony De Niro-Rodriguez, the family is still searching for answers ... now authorities have made 5 more arrests in the case, TMZ has learned.

Leandro was found dead on July 2, 2023 from what was reportedly determined to be an accidental drug overdose. According to People, a DEA official told the outlet the suspects taken into custody in New York are being charged with death resulting from the sale of narcotics.

The 5 men were charged with conspiracy to distribute controlled substances resulting in death, NBC 4 New York reports.

Luigi Mangione is keeping himself going behind bars thanks to some surprising ladies -- Taylor Swift and Charli XCX.

In a new fan letter circulating online, which we authenticated, Luigi explained he recently downloaded their music to his prison tablet at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center -- even admitting he’d never really listened to them before, but decided to give it a shot after a fake list of his "favorite artists" went viral.

Turns out, the alleged murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson actually tried out Taylor’s "cardigan" while walking laps on the tier... until another inmate, known as "King," caught wind of it.
