Crime & Arrests

Yesterday, we got video of Shia LaBeouf headbutting a man ahead of a bar brawl for the ages in New Orleans ... but he's actually pulled this same stunt before.

We got footage of the "Transformers" star in 2014 doing the same thing to a guy in South London.

Watch the two videos and compare ... in the first vid from over a decade ago, Shia is talking to the guy in a menacing way. He gets all in the guy's face ... then he smashes his head into his opponent's face like a fighting ram.

Rashee Rice's lawyer, Sean Lindsey, released a statement, claiming that on October 9, 2025, Jones stated under penalty of perjury in an affidavit for non-prosecution that Rice did not punch her. It was just a verbal argument.

"We will allow the legal process to run its course and have no further comment at this time," Lindsey said.

Rashee Rice's longtime partner and mother of his children has filed an explosive lawsuit against the NFL star, accusing him of choking, strangling, scratching, hitting, and headbutting her over a nightmare 19-month period.

The grisly details are part of a lawsuit filed by Dacoda Jones this week in district court, and obtained by TMZ Sports ... where she lays out what he says was a horrific pattern of abuse between December 2023 and July 2025.

"Rashee Rice continued to repeatedly [assault] Dacoda Jones over the course of their relationship," the lawsuit claims.

Jones -- who has two children with Rice -- says she was also subject to "other violent and abusive behaviors," which included the Chiefs' wideout throwing things at her, "punching walls, and breaking furniture."

Jones claims the abuse caused "bleeding, swelling, bruising, and other pain and physical injury to her neck, face, mouth, arms, legs, chest, and shoulder."

To make matters worse, Dacoda says most of the abuse occurred while she was pregnant.

It's not the first time Jones has gone public with the allegations of abuse. Last month on social media, Dacoda accused Rashee of getting physical with her ... and at the time, included photos she says prove he was abusive.

After hearing of the allegations, the NFL launched an investigation into Rice for possible violations of the league's Personal Conduct Policy. The investigation is still active.

We actually saw RR at LAX recently, and asked him about the situation ... but he stayed mum.

Rice, a game-breaking weapon on the field, has been in hot water off it. He served jail time in 2025 after pleading guilty to multiple felonies for his role in a multi-vehicle crash on a Dallas highway.

In that case, the NFL suspended Rice six games before he returned to play for Kansas City.

On a personal level, Rice has a new woman in his life, recently going IG official on Valentine's Day with Instagram model Rubi Rose.

Republican Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's son Tyler is facing a new charge of child abuse after his 2-year-old son went wandering out of the house ... TMZ has learned.

This is the second time Tyler, 20, is in trouble with the law after his son got loose ... he was slapped with a similar citation last year.

A watch commander at the Windsor Police Department in Colorado confirmed the latest incident ... and Tyler was cited on a misdemeanor charge of child abuse without injury.

Jonathan Majors broke down in tears while speaking about his wife Meagan Good's unwavering support through his assault and harassment trial ... crediting her with building him up when he needed it the most.

Watch the emotional clip from his Tuesday appearance on "For The Fellas" ... he immediately tears up talking about Meagan's presence through the trial. He showers her with praise, and says she shows up for him in every way he needs, calling her his "everything."

The actor and Meagan tied the knot in 2025 ... after she stood by his side through his 2023 trial for assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend in March of that year. He was found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment in the domestic dispute.

Shia LaBeouf was apparently looking for a fight before he got his butt kicked early Tuesday ... and we have video of what may have instigated his epic beatdown.

Watch the video ... Shia appears to be talking to a guy on the street, which seems normal ... but for some reason, Shia has his arms tucked inside his T-shirt.

Then, he suddenly starts shouting obscenities at the guy -- an older gentleman who stays cool the whole time -- and lunges forward to deliver a headbutt straight to the guy's face!

Shia LaBeouf apparently messed with the wrong people in New Orleans ... we have video of the actor getting the ever-living hell beat out of him before cops arrived at the scene.

Watch the video ... while Shia struggles to get back to his feet -- apparently already having been knocked to the ground -- a man warns him to stay down as he delivers 2 huge blows to Shia's face.

"We gon' beat the f*** out you, boy. Chill!" the man yells.

Former NBA star Lamar Odom is staying sober and feeling better after spending weeks in a rehab ... this, according to sources close to the situation.

R. Kelly is under investigation for possessing a retired warden's phone number at his federal lockup in North Carolina ... and he's been placed in isolation for the duration of a probe of the incident, according to his lawyer.

Kelly's attorney, Beau Brindley, tells TMZ ... the R&B singer's problems began when he got involved in a mentor program to help guide other inmates, which was overseen by the warden at FCI Butner Medium 1.

Recently, the warden retired ... but before he left, he gave Kelly his cell phone number in case the convicted felon needed to reach out to him to seek advice about the mentor program.

Tragedy in Las Vegas ... a mother allegedly shot and killed her 11-year-old cheerleader daughter before turning the gun on herself in a suspected murder-suicide.

Cops say 38-year-old Tawnia McGeehan and her daughter, Addi Smith, were found dead Sunday in a room at the Rio Hotel & Casino, with what appeared to be a suicide note left behind.

The Utah mom and daughter were in town for a cheer competition ... but when they didn’t show, their team, Utah Xtreme Cheer, sounded the alarm on social media, asking for help finding them.

TMZ Sports has obtained the body-worn camera footage from the January arrest of Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore ... and it shows the NFL vet telling cops he had no weapons in his car, before a search revealed otherwise.

Police initially pulled over the car -- owned by Lattimore and driven by a female acquaintance -- for a minor traffic violation. When they ran the plates, they were expired, according to law enforcement.

Before returning to his patrol car to begin writing up the citations, the officer asked if there were any guns or knives in the car.

The personal chef who accused Stefon Diggs of choking her following a Patriots game in December is speaking out after his first court appearance Friday in Boston, saying she's focused on healing as the legal process begins to play out.

Mila Adams shared her statement shortly after Diggs entered a not-guilty plea in the case, writing that she would "never make false claims for personal gain or to damage someone's reputation."

"I did not seek public attention and reported this matter through the proper legal channels. This is an active criminal matter, and I will continue to respect the legal process. I will not engage in rumors, personal attacks, or respond to misinformation on social media, and I will ask others to refrain from spreading false narratives."

The FBI has a better idea of what the suspect in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance might look like ... and, they've increased the reward to aid in their efforts.

The federal agency posted a statement mere minutes ago ... announcing the reward for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie or the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her abduction has been raised to $100,000.

On top of the reward increase, the FBI also announced its Operational Technology Division reviewed the doorbell camera footage ... and the suspect is a male, standing 5' 9" - 5' 10" tall, with an average build. The FBI says he had a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack -- a detail we also ascertained from the video.

This looks like a big update in the D4vd case ... prosecutors want to call the singer's mother, father, and brother to testify before the grand jury in California, but D4vd's family isn't giving in without a fight.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, D4vd's fam is claiming a court order summoning them to testify in California violates their due process rights.

Dawud, Colleen, and Caleb Burke, who all live in Texas, claim they were denied due process because they were given redacted versions of the affidavits used to support a lower Texas court's order summoning them to be witnesses in a California grand jury proceeding.

BYU wide receiver Parker Kingston was charged with first-degree felony rape in Washington County, Utah, on Wednesday ... stemming from an alleged incident that occurred in February 2025.

If James Pearce Jr.'s case goes to trial, the alleged victim, Rickea Jackson, is down to take the stand, according to her attorney, who notified the court she's "willing to testify."

Rickea's attorney also indicated she hopes to put the matter behind her, sooner rather than later.
