Congresswoman Lauren Boebert Ex-Hubby Jayson Arrested In Colorado ... After Their Heated Confrontation

Published | Updated

update

7:29 AM PT -- Silt PD Chief Mike Kite tells TMZ Jayson Boebert's arrest Tuesday stems from two different arrest warrants -- one from their own department and another from the Garfield Sheriff's Office, noting that the offenses on their end (Silt PD) pertain to disorderly conduct, obstructing and criminal trespass ... whereas the Garfield charges relate to the other violations.

We're told the restaurant incident from this weekend is still under investigation, and one other interesting thing ... the Chief here tells us Rep. Boebert did NOT punch Jayson twice, as some witnesses claimed. The whole thing is still a little hazy, but Kite says the probe should be wrapped soon -- with more answers to come.

Congresswoman Lauren Boebert's ex-husband Jayson was just arrested for a number of offenses after the two got into a nasty altercation in Colorado over the weekend.

Jayson was cooling his heels in the Garfield County Jail on six misdemeanors/petty violations Tuesday before he was later released on $2,500 bond, a rep for the correctional facility told TMZ.

He was booked on prohibited use of weapons, assault, harassment and obstructing a peace officer – all misdemeanors -- as well as trespass and disorderly conduct, both of which are considered petty crimes.

The Silt Police Department has been investigating the former couple since Saturday when the two got into a confrontation in a local restaurant.

WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

Eyewitnesses told TMZ that Lauren slugged Jayson twice in the nose, but the Republican Colorado congresswoman categorically denied the accusations. Our sources say an unknown person called 911, but quickly hung up.

Silt PD has yet to confirm Jayson's bust was connected to the restaurant incident, but we'll keep you posted on any updates. For the record, Lauren has not been arrested or charged in connection with breaking the law.

As you may recall, Lauren filed for divorce from Jayson last April after more than 15 years of marriage, citing "irreconcilable differences." Their divorce was reportedly finalized in October 2023.

MLB's Julio Urias L.A. D.A. Rejects Felony Charge ... Over Alleged DV Incident

Published | Updated

Julio Urias will NOT face a felony charge for the alleged physical altercation involving his wife at a soccer game in September, TMZ Sports has learned ... with the L.A. District Attorney rejecting the case, concluding the incident didn't warrant such a serious charge.

Although it's good news for the 27-year-old pitcher, it doesn't mean he's fully in the clear ... the D.A. will now send the case to the City Attorney, who could opt to file a misdemeanor charge.

Our sources tell us after law enforcement's investigation, they believe Julio was in a verbal altercation with his wife that turned physical ... but because of Urias' lack of criminal record and other factors, the D.A.'s office doesn't believe it rises to the level of a felony. Thus the rejection.

Remember, Urias allegedly roughed up his wife Daisy after an LAFC vs. Inter Miami soccer game on September 3, when the couple went to BMO Stadium to watch Lionel Messi.

Julio was arrested at the scene for felony domestic violence. He was taken to jail before posting $50k bond.

The L.A. Dodgers, Urias' team since breaking into the Majors in 2016, almost immediately distanced themselves from the soon-to-be free agent, cleaning out his locker and wiping his images from Dodger Stadium.

Major League Baseball also placed him on administrative leave a few days after the alleged incident.

Urias is currently a free agent ... and his status with MLB is still in flux, though the D.A.'s decision could represent a step towards signing with a new team.

Of course, it's not the first time Julio has faced allegations of domestic violence.

The World Series champ agreed to participate in a diversion program in 2019 after he was accused of pushing a woman at a popular L.A. mall. Urias was not convicted, nor tried, in that case.

Tupac Shakur Murder Suspect Keefe D Gets Bail ... You're Free for $750k!!!

Published | Updated

The man cops say is responsible for Tupac Shakur's death can walk out of jail today as he waits for his criminal trial to get going -- but only if he can come up with a helluva lot of cash.

Duane Davis -- AKA, Keefe D -- was in court out in Vegas Tuesday for a hearing on his potential release on bail pending his criminal trial ... where his legal team was arguing before a judge that their client wasn't a danger to society, nor was he a flight risk if they'd agree to cut him loose from lockup until the trial.

Mind you, Keefe's been in the Clark County jail since late September -- when he was first indicted for the murder of Tupac and taken into custody by cops ... the first big break in the cold case for a long, long time.

Remember ... Keefe's been out there publicly claiming to have been in the car that night way back in 1996, when Tupac was shot and killed while riding passenger with Suge Knight.

Keefe has suggested he wasn't the trigger man himself, but he's also the only one left alive to prosecute over the long-unsolved crime -- and Vegas officials finally brought him in.

Keefe's legal team pointed out that the proof was in the pudding in terms of Keefe not being a risk -- openly asking the court, if he was so dangerous, why did it take so long for cops to haul him in, even though his affiliation with the Tupac murder was well-known for a while.

They also doubled down on his not guilty plea -- saying he only said all that stuff about Pac's murder for entertainment/monetary gain ... but prosecutors pushed back, arguing this guy was a cold-blooded killer and absolutely should not be out on the streets.

010824_ufo_promo_kal
WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON

In the end, the judge agreed to let him out pending trial ... but set his bail pretty high at $750,000. He also said even if Keefe could cough up the dough, he'll be confined to house arrest with electronic monitoring while he waits for his trial.

Until he's able to post bail, Keefe will remain behind bars.

GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD I WAS IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT ... Because of a Super Fan!!!

Published

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is dishing new surprising confessions about her time behind bars ... admitting she once spent 2 weeks in solitary purely because a total stranger posted something about a prison break.

Her new e-book, "Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom," was released Tuesday and in it, Gypsy says the super fan's social media post declared she didn't belong in prison, and they wished they could bust her out.

She says that was enough to trigger staff at Chillicothe Correctional Facility in Missouri to send her straight to isolation.

Gypsy says the experience was traumatizing as prison officials used that time to go through her stuff and look for any plans or correspondence indicating she knew the person behind the post ... but she didn't.

The e-book features a collection of letters, phone transcripts and photos from her prison stay ... and was written with Michele Matrisciani and Melissa Moore -- the latter interviewed Gypsy while she was locked up.

It also details her opioid addiction while in prison ... and features an open letter she penned to her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, telling her that fear, manipulation, and isolation were all she learned from her type of love.

Gypsy served 7 years of her 10-year sentence for the second-degree murder of Dee Dee, and since her release on Dec. 28 she's been embraced by fans on social media and in public.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Estuvo en confinamiento solitario... Por culpa de un fan!!!

Published | Updated

Gypsy Rose Blanchard está haciendo nuevas y sorprendentes confesiones sobre su tiempo tras las rejas, admitiendo que una vez pasó 2 semanas en régimen de aislamiento solo porque un total desconocido publicó algo sobre una fuga de la cárcel.

Su nuevo e-book, "Released: Conversations on the Eve of Freedom", fue publicado el martes, y en él Gypsy dice que la publicación de la fan en las redes sociales declaraba que ella no pertenecía a la cárcel y que deseaba que la pudieran sacar.

Ella dice que eso fue suficiente para que el personal de la Correccional Chillicothe de Missouri la enviara directamente al aislamiento.

Gypsy dice que la experiencia fue traumática, ya que los funcionarios de la prisión utilizaron ese tiempo para revisar sus cosas y buscar cualquier plan o correspondencia que indicara que conocía a la persona detrás del correo. Pero ella no tenía.

El e-book cuenta con una colección de cartas, transcripciones telefónicas y fotos de su estancia en prisión y fue escrito junto a Michele Matrisciani y Melissa Moore, quienes entrevistaron a Gypsy mientras estaba encerrada.

También detalla su adicción a los opioides mientras estaba en la cárcel y contiene una carta abierta que escribió a su madre, Dee Dee Blanchard, donde le decía que el miedo, la manipulación y el aislamiento eran todo lo que había aprendido de su clase de amor.

Young Thug On Trial Casually Wears Shirt That Says 'Sex Records' To Court!!!

Published

MAKING A FASHION STATEMENT

Young Thug made an unexpected fashion statement in court on Monday ... rocking a white dress shirt with some hot and heavy language emblazoned on the front. Take a guess ...

The rapper -- who's in the middle of a criminal trial right now -- randomly told his followers to call him by the s-word years ago and the shirt's full message read, "SEX Records: Truly Humble Under God." Indeed, he was wearing this right there in front of the judge and jury.

His lawyer Brian Steele argued back in November that his rap name was an acronym for "Truly Humble Under God" ... and the "Young" was an ode to Tupac Shakur.

A calm and collected YT's bold wardrobe choice didn't seem to alarm his legal counsel ... the retired police sergeant reporting on the trial had a difference in opinion, though.

It was an eventful day in court for YSL ... Young Thug’s friend Trontavious “Tick” Stephens also took the stand and said some things ... but in a plain shirt.

AGRESOR DE JUEZ REGRESA A LA CORTE, DA LA CARA A LA MISMA JUEZA Recibe dura condena tras las rejas

enfrentándose a la jueza ... nuevamente

El hombre que audazmente atacó a una jueza de Las Vegas regresó a la corte para finalmente recibir su condena… y fue dictada por la misma jueza a la que derribó la semana pasada.

Deobra Redden se enfrentó a la jueza Mary Kay Holthus en el Tribunal del Distrito del Condado de Clark el lunes, llevando una mascarilla y cubiertas en sus manos, así como guardias a ambos lados de él. Probablemente por una buena razón, considerando lo que sucedió la última vez.

Es seguro decir que se aseguran de que no se repitiera el ataque, ya que Redden sorprendentemente se lanzó sobre el estrado elevado para atacar a la jueza Holthus la semana pasada mientras se preparaba para sentenciarlo por su condena por intento de agresión.

Ahora, sobre cómo fue la comparecencia del lunes, afortunadamente fue mucho más tranquila.

010324_court_room_fight-kal 1/3/24
enfrentamiento legal

La jueza Holthus mantuvo la calma durante la sentencia y no mencionó en absoluto el incidente anterior… pero sí le impuso una condena de 19 a 48 meses tras las rejas, que aparentemente es lo que los fiscales estaban solicitando. En otras palabras, sin verdadera clemencia.

Realmente no se le puede culpar por castigarlo severamente con todo lo que ha sucedido.

Recuerda que Redden fue puesto inmediatamente en aislamiento después de atacar a la jueza Holthus, clasificado como un recluso “2C”, que es la clasificación más restrictiva para los reclusos en la Cárcel del Condado de Clark. El video de él saltando sobre el estrado y más allá para alcanzarla fue impactante.

Además de todo esto, Redden ahora enfrenta 13 cargos relacionados con el ataque a la juez y el martes regresará a la corte.

Esperamos que los sustos de saltar se mantengan al mínimo tras las rejas, algo nos dice que no serían bien recibidos a donde se dirige.

Judge Attacker Back In Court, Faces Same Robe at Bench Gets Hard Time Behind Bars

010824_vegas_judge_attacker_kal_v2 1/8/24
FACING THE JUDGE ... AGAIN

The man who brazenly attacked a Las Vegas judge was back in court to finally be given his sentencing ... and it was handed down by the exact same judge he took down last week.

Deobra Redden faced Judge Mary Kay Holthus in Clark County District Court Monday, donning a face mask and covers over his hands ... as well as guards on either side of him. Probably for good reason considering what happened the last time around.

Safe to say they're making sure there's no repeat attack here -- as we reported, Redden shockingly dove over the raised bench to attack Judge Holthus last week while she was gearing up to sentence him for his attempted battery conviction.

Now, as for how Monday's appearance went -- it was thankfully much calmer.

Judge Holthus kept her cool during sentencing, and didn't mention the prior outburst whatsoever ... but she did hit him with a sentence of 19-48 months behind bars, which is apparently what prosecutors were asking for. In other words, no real leniency.

Can't really blame her for throwing the book at him with everything that's gone on.

Remember, Redden was immediately put into isolation after attacking Judge Holthus, classified as a "2C" inmate, which is the most restrictive classification for inmates at the Clark County Jail. The video of him leaping up onto and past the bench to reach her was wild.

On top of all this, Redden's now facing 13 charges in connection with the attack on the judge and is due back in court for that on Tuesday.

Here's hoping the jump scares are kept at a minimum behind bars -- something tells us those wouldn't go over too well where he's going.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. Arrested For 'Ghost Gun' In L.A. Illegal Weapons Possession

Published | Updated

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. was arrested for illegal possession of an assault rifle this weekend in L.A. ... after cops were called to the scene by a concerned fan who believed the boxer may be a danger to himself or others.

TMZ Sports has learned the 37-year-old former champ, son of the legendary Mexican pugilist Julio Cesar Chavez Sr., was taken into custody by LAPD around 1:30 PM ... after Jr. permitted responding officers to enter his home, where they located the illegal rifle.

Law enforcement sources tell us the weapon was an untraceable "ghost gun."

Chavez Jr. was ultimately transported to the Valley Jail in Van Nuys ... where the 6'1", 170 lb. fighter was booked.

It's not the first time people around Julio have feared for his safety. In fact, Chavez Sr. recently opened up about fears his son could lose his life if he continues down the same path.

Speaking of his God-like figure of a dad, although Julio didn't come close to the astronomical success his dad achieved in the squared circle, Jr. finished his boxing career with a 53-6-1 record ... fighting the likes of Daniel Jacobs and Canelo Alvarez.

Chavez Jr. a former WBC middleweight champion in 2011, last fought in December 2021, when he beat David Zegarra.

RESPONSABLE POR ESTAR ALLÍ

Jonathan Majors mantiene su inocencia incluso después de ser declarado culpable por un jurado, afirmando en su primera entrevista televisada que quedó impactado por el veredicto.

El actor habló en exclusiva con ‘GMA’, emitido el lunes, donde Linsey Davis hizo algunas preguntas bastante difíciles, incluyendo si hizo lo que se le acusó por parte de la Oficina del Fiscal del Distrito de Manhattan, a saber, el agredir a su exnovia Grace Jabbari.

CACERÍA SALVAJE EN LAS CALLES

Majors insiste en que no lo hizo… por lo que afirma que quedó atónito por el resultado, una condena por dos de los cuatro cargos, incluyendo el acoso y agresión, aunque eran los 2 cargos menos graves.

Davis le preguntó cómo Jabbari pudo haber sufrido sus lesiones si no fue él… encogió los hombros, diciendo que no tiene idea, pero que le encantaría descubrirlo para encontrar algo de paz.

También se le interrogó sobre un audio en el que sermoneaba a Jabbari sobre cómo debía ser más como Michelle Obama y Coretta Scott King si quería estar con él.

Jon afirma que simplemente señalaba a grandes personas a las que aspiraba a ser como ellas… defendiendo su discurso.

Hay otros puntos destacados, pero estos son los más importantes, Majors termina expresando su arrepentimiento por cómo manejó las cosas con su ex. Alega que debió ser lo suficientemente hombre como para dejarla antes de esa noche… y que no debió estar en el auto con ella.

No se menciona nada sobre la visión a futuro de su carrera, por lo que escuchamos… supongo que todo está por verse.

RESPONSIBLE FOR BEING THERE

Jonathan Majors is maintaining his innocence even after being found guilty by a jury of his peers -- saying he was shocked by the verdict in his first televised interview.

The actor spoke to 'GMA' in an exclusive sit-down that aired Monday, and Linsey Davis was asking him some pretty hard questions ... including whether he did what he'd been accused of by the Manhattan D.A.'s Office -- namely, assaulting his ex-GF Grace Jabbari.

WILD CHASE THROUGH THE STREETS

Majors insists he did not ... which is why he says he was stunned by the result, a conviction on two of four counts -- including harassment and assault, albeit the 2 lesser charges.

Davis asks him how Jabbari might've sustained her injuries if it wasn't him ... and he shrugs his shoulders, saying he has no idea -- but that he'd love to figure it out to find some peace.

JM was also grilled about this wild audio in which he's lecturing Jabbari about how she needed to be more like Michelle Obama and Coretta Scott King if she wanted to be with him.

Jon says he was simply pointing out great people he aspired to be like ... defending his rant.

There are other highlights, but these are the big ones -- and Majors ends by expressing regret over how he handled things with his ex. He says he should've been man enough to leave her before that night ... and also says he shouldn't have been in the car with her.

No mention of his future career prospects from what we heard ... suppose that's all TBD.

Ian Ziering La policía se centra cargos de vandalismo todavía no hay cargos de agresión

Published

Los policías que investigan la loca pelea de motociclistas de Ian Ziering se están centrando en los cargos de vandalismo que podrían enfrentar los motociclistas, aunque Ian no está del todo libre de culpa todavía.

Los oficiales le dicen a TMZ que el foco principal del caso en este momento es un potencial cargo de vandalismo y delito grave contra los ciclistas por dañar el carro de Ian, pero no se han hecho detenciones hasta el momento.

Nos dicen que los nuevos videos que han surgido en los que se ve a Ian empujando a uno de los motoristas, muestran que este incidente podría ser considerado un caso de combate mutuo, en cuyo caso no se presentarían cargos por agresión.

La policía dice que ninguno de los ciclistas se ha presentado ninguna queja contra Ian y por una buena razón -nos dicen que las mini motos del grupo son ilegales para montar en la calle y en el tráfico, por no decir que uno fue visto rompiendo el parabrisas de Ian.

El Fiscal de Distrito de Los Ángeles puede añadir cargos de agresión si sienten que tienen la evidencia correcta.

Ian Ziering Cops Focused On Vandalism Case But Fight Charges Still Loom

Published | Updated

Cops investigating Ian Ziering's crazy biker brawl are zeroing in on at least one of the bikers for vandalism charges ... and, as of now, they're not as concerned about the fight side of things.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the main focus of the case is a potential felony vandalism charge against the bikers for damaging Ian's car, but no arrests have been made yet.

We're told the new videos that emerged, in which Ian is seen initiating the violence by pushing one of the bikers, show this fight could be considered mutual combat. If that's the case, battery charges are unlikely, especially since none of the bikers have filed a police report.

Let's face it ... that wouldn't be a very biker gang thing to do.

Another reason they're not running to cops ... we're told the mini motorbikes they were riding are illegal to ride on public streets or freeways.

As for the vandalism -- one of the bikers is seen clearly on video using a helmet to smash Ian's windshield. When the case gets submitted, however, the L.A. District Attorney can add battery charges if they feel the evidence is there.

ICYMI, we spoke with 2 men who ride with the 605 Minibike Gang, which was spotted in the infamous New Year's Eve vid ... and they told us it was Ian who started the big brawl, not their crew.

Criss Angel ayuda a reducir a un hombre problemático durante un espectáculo de magia

Published

Criss Angel realizó el acto de desaparición perfecta durante su último show, la desaparición de un hombre problemático causando disturbios.

Los testigos le dicen a TMZ que el mago estaba realizando su show "MINDFREAK" la semana pasada en Las Vegas Planet Hollywood, cuando un hombre en la segunda fila comenzó a causar problemas y su comportamiento solo empeoró a medida que el espectáculo continuó.

Según un informe de la policía obtenido por TMZ, al hombre, Brandon McDonald, se le pidió que guardara su teléfono, pero no lo hizo. Intercambiaron palabras y luego las cosas finalmente escalaron con McDonald supuestamente lanzando puñetazos.

Los testigos nos dicen que a partir de ahí se desató el infierno cuando los de seguridad vinieron a sacar al hombre. A continuación se produjo una refriega y otro asistente fue agredido.

Nos dicen que fue solo cuando McDonald trató de agarrar a un guardia de seguridad por detrás que Criss intervino para someterlo, ayudando a la seguridad en la escolta McDonald fuera del teatro.

Cuando llegó la Policía Metropolitana, McDonald fue arrestado por agresión.

Criss fue un verdadero showman y gestionó las cosas de la mejor manera para terminar su show a pesar de los disturbios.

Witnesses tell TMZ the magician was performing at his show "MINDFREAK" last week in Vegas' Planet Hollywood ... when a man in the second row of the audience started to cause a scene ... and his behavior only worsened as the show continued.
