Crime & Arrests

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Charles Snowden has been charged with DUI ... after he was arrested in Sin City earlier this week.

Court records, obtained by TMZ Sports, show Snowden was hit with a misdemeanor count on Dec. 10.

8 News Now reports it all stems from a traffic stop police conducted on the 26-year-old after they got a call about "a suspicious vehicle." The outlet states Snowden was arrested and booked into a local jail early Tuesday morning, before he was released a short time later.

Luigi Mangione admirers looking for merch celebrating the suspected killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson need to look elsewhere ... 'cause Esty has pulled a lot of gear with his infamous face.

Even before he was identified, Thompson's killer was cheered by some as a folk hero -- but that movement got turbo-charged when Mangione was arrested and charged ... and fan-made merch flooded the e-commerce site.

However, as of Thursday morning, most of the prior Mangione items -- including shirts, cups and even a Christmas ornament -- are gone ... their pages now read, "😔Sorry, this item is unavailable."

Luigi Mangione's grandmother left behind tens of millions of dollars to her family ... but now there's a strong chance Luigi will be iced out of the will after being charged with murder.

According to documents obtained by TMZ ... Mary C. Mangione -- a philanthropist and grandmother of the alleged murderer -- left behind an estate worth at least $30 million to be distributed among her 10 children.

The docs insinuate the number might be much higher than $30 million -- perhaps even north of $100 million, though it doesn't say exactly how much she left behind when she passed in 2023 ... it's all pretty technical.

Christmas is the season to be jolly --- but not for one Massachusetts drug suspect who tried to pull a Santa Claus escape, but got stuck inside a chimney, according to police.

Tuesday night, police officers executed a search warrant at a residence in Falls River, MA, prompting Robert Langlais and Tanisha Ibay to flee to the roof, cops said.

Ibay allegedly jumped from the roof onto a car parked on the street, while Langlais climbed inside the chimney ... but his attempt to evade capture failed miserably.

Accused UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione went ballistic outside a Pennsylvania courthouse this week because he was "irritated" he didn't have legal representation at the time, according to his lawyer.

Attorney Thomas Dickey, sat for an interview Wednesday night with CNN host Erin Burnett and set the record straight on the shocking moment Mangione yelled at the media while being led by police into the Blair County, PA, courthouse, for his extradition hearing a day earlier.

Sporting an orange jumpsuit with his hands cuffed behind him, Mangione shouted at reporters a cryptic message about being "completely out of touch and an insult to the intelligence of the American people and their lived experience!"

Luigi Mangione's fellow inmates are giving the inside scoop about conditions in the prison where he's staying -- screaming out about his treatment from behind the prison walls.

Here's the deal ... NewsNation shared a clip from outside SCI Huntingdon where a prisoner screamed out at the top of his lungs, railing against Mangione's living situation.

Watch the video ... the inmate clearly yells, "Luigi's conditions suck! Free Luigi!' It's unclear if he's joking or if this is a sincere condemnation.

Jon Voight is calling on Americans to realize the difference between right and wrong ... taking a minute to praise Daniel Penny -- who was found not guilty in the fatal choking of Jordan Neely -- and slam Luigi Mangione, the suspected killer in Brian Thompson's murder.

We caught up with the actor following the big updates in Penny and Mangione's respective New York cases ... and Angelina Jolie's dad made his opinions crystal clear on the highly discussed true-crime stories.

As Voight put it ... Penny should be hailed as a hero, and applauded the Marine veteran for having "the guts" to do what he did.

Luigi Mangione, the suspected killer in the Brian Thompson murder case, was unafraid to let loose and have a good time during his college years ... going wild in a video from his time at the University of Pennsylvania.

In the video obtained by TMZ ... Luigi is seen repeatedly smashing a beer on his forehead before chugging down the alcoholic beverage. Several partygoers hype up Luigi during the party trick ... as he's filmed gulping down the beer.

A source tells TMZ ... the wild scene took place at a massive St. Patrick's Day party -- which explains the number of green shirts in the footage -- at the Ivy League school in 2019.

When Luigi Mangione made his initial court appearance Tuesday in Pennsylvania after a nationwide manhunt finally ended a day earlier ... and along with his outburst at the cameras, came some trolling from onlookers.

Here's the deal ... Mangione was apprehended Monday at a Pennsylvania Mickey D's ... and hours later, the Manhattan D.A. charged him with murder in the brazen December 4 fatal shooting of Brian Thompson.

After his brief extradition hearing Tuesday ... Mangione was led out of the Blair County courthouse by police where a group of reporters and others screamed questions at him ... along with a very specifical taunt.

12:23 PM PT -- The gun allegedly found in Luigi Mangione's possession when he was arrested Monday has been forensically tested ... and New York Police confirm the "ghost gun" has been matched to shell casings found at the scene of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murder.

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said the gun is being processed at the NYPD crime lab ... and said the gun matches "the three shell casings" found in midtown Manhattan a week ago.

As TMZ reported ... the words "deny," "defend" and "depose" were engraved in shell casings found at the scene.

Police say Luigi Mangione's fingerprints match prints found at the scene of Brian Thompson's murder last week in New York City.

CNN reports two law enforcement officials confirmed that information Wednesday morning.

It was previously reported a partial fingerprint was lifted from a water bottle, possibly bought at a Starbucks down the street from the shooting scene moments before the crime. It's unclear if that's the print to which police are referring.

Luigi Mangione's not on suicide watch after being examined by mental health professionals ... TMZ has learned.

A representative for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections says ... the man accused of killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson isn't currently under any psychiatric order at SCI Huntingdon, a correctional facility just outside Altoona.

We're told he was evaluated by medical and psychology professionals as part of the regular screening ... and, no psych order was put in place.

Luigi Mangione’s online fan base is next-level, with the hype so wild that people are even offering to cover his legal bills after he was charged in the Brian Thompson murder case.

Thomas Dickey, the attorney for 26-year-old Mangione, admitted he hasn’t seen the emails himself, but his office staff filled him in on the wild offers to cover his fees.

When asked why fans were offering to pay, Dickey told CNN's The Source with Kaitlan Collins that they'e "exercising their right to free speech and they're saying that's the way they're supporting my client."

Luigi Mangione's getting his own cell at a Pennsylvania correctional facility, and he hasn't been interacting with other inmates recently ... and, we now know what he'll be eating too.

A representative for the PA Department of Corrections tells TMZ ... Mangione will be held in a single cell -- no roommate locked up with him -- at SCI Huntingdon just outside Altoona.

We're told he's not in solitary confinement ... but, he won't be interacting with other inmates at this time -- so, no hanging out in the rec yard for now it seems.

The McDonald's where suspected UnitedHealthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione was apprehended is on high alert ... police presence has been beefed up -- whether they want it or not.

Altoona Police tell TMZ ... they have increased patrols around the local McDonald's where LM was nabbed on Monday. We're told the additional eyes on the restaurant will likely continue at least until Mangione is hauled off to NYC ... something he's currently fighting in court.

Per the police, staff at the McDonald's didn't ask for the patrols ... but it is "common practice" when a high-profile crime occurs.

Luigi Mangione planned to dive headfirst into self-help books it appears ... including one all about living with self-involved and distant parents -- providing what could be a clue to relationships in his own family.

As we've told you ... the alleged killer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was apparently active on Goodreads -- a website where people log what they read and what they plan to read.

An account bearing his name logged hundreds of titles over the last 8 years ... and included many more on the "Want to Read" section -- including "Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents: How to Heal From Distant, Rejecting, or Self-Involved Parents" by clinical psychologist Lindsay Gibson.

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson's murder is inspiring warnings to other healthcare executives ... with "wanted" posters popping up in NYC of other big players in the industry.

Video of these posters is going viral online ... showing a dark green traffic control box in Lower Manhattan decorated with three posters featuring healthcare CEOs -- including Thompson's photo with a huge red "X" slashed through it.

The other 2 execs are at OptumHealth and UnitedHealth Group and the poster accuses them of denying medical coverage in order to bolster their companies' bottom lines.
