Crime

Grace Lilly's latest arrest last week apparently didn't come out of nowhere ... it seems to have been triggered by new lab results tied to her previous run-in with cops, TMZ has learned.

According to an incident report, obtained by TMZ, cops say they tested the pills police found in the "Southern Hospitality" star's purse during her December arrest in Charleston, SC. Authorities say the lab results showed the 12 white pills contained clonazepam -- which is often sold under the brand name Klonopin -- a controlled substance commonly prescribed for anxiety and seizure disorders.

It's illegal to possess the medication without a valid prescription ... and the report says an officer drafted an affidavit and a judge signed a warrant, which appears to be what ultimately led to Grace's arrest on March 10.

There's new evidence that the death of Celeste Rivas was not accidental ... and it's something people didn't pick up on over the weekend.

Neo posted on Saturday ... that he's clamming up over the mystery surrounding Celeste's death. In the Insta post, he says ... "... at the end of the day this case isn't about me, it isn't about you, it's about getting justice for the victim and her family ..."

The word "victim" is critical ... our sources say the L.A. County Medical Examiner has had enormous trouble establishing cause of death, in large part because of the state Celeste's body was in when it was discovered in the trunk of D4vd's Tesla.

We do not know if the M.E. ultimately established cause of death ... but even if they did rule it a homicide, they had so much trouble it will almost certainly be a hotly contested issue when the case goes to trial.

A$AP Rocky was spotted for the first time in public since Rihanna was at home during a frightening incident when her house was shot up earlier this month ... and we have the pics.

The rapper was snapped carrying a large red leather bag over his shoulder, pairing a graphic jacket layered over a hoodie, as he walked down a New York City street Sunday night ... one week after the shooting.

As you know ... Rihanna was at home with their 3 children when an assailant fired multiple rounds into her Los Angeles house on Sunday, March 8.

Jayden Wallace's attorney, Graham McKinnon, tells TMZ ... Wallace, 18, was not driving his pickup truck "in a dangerous or unsafe matter" as he left the home of his "mentor," Jason Hughes, after toilet papering Hughes' property with his buddies. 

As a result, McKinnon says it's not "appropriate to charge a crime" because it was a straight-up accident. Wallace was arrested and booked for vehicular homicide after the March 6 tragedy.

John Alford -- a British actor who was convicted on sex offenses connected to two teenage girls last year -- has died in prison.

The Mirror and the BBC confirmed the news with a spokesperson for the prison system ... who told them, "John Shannon died in prison on 13 March 2026. As with all deaths in custody, the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman will investigate."

Shannon was Alford's legal last name ... however, he went by Alford professionally.

A member of Jasmine Crockett's congressional security detail was shot to death by police during a standoff in Texas, according to CBS News.

The violent encounter unfolded in Dallas Wednesday night, when Mike King reportedly ran inside a hospital parking garage and then barricaded himself inside a vehicle while being pursued by SWAT officers.

CBS reports the cops then tear-gassed King, prompting him to jump out of the vehicle and pull a gun before he was fatally shot by police.    

Law enforcement sources told CBS ... King was wanted for impersonating law enforcement while running a platform online, Off Duty Police Services, which finds off-duty gigs for North Texas cops. 

Neo -- a friend of D4vd who blasted the guy on social media this week -- says he doesn't care what the public thinks of him ... and he's done commenting on the case publicly.

Neo took to Instagram Saturday to speak out in a series of fiery posts ... kicking one off by saying he knows his silence in previous months has led to a "void of information that everyone wants to fill."

However, this case isn't about him, Neo notes ... it's about getting justice for Celeste Rivas, whose mutilated body was found in the trunk of D4vd's Tesla more than 6 months ago.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett's bodyguard -- who was killed in a standoff with police this week -- reportedly had a checkered past.

The bodyguard went by Mike King ... but CBS News is now reporting that was an alias -- and his real name was Diamon-Mazairre Robinson.

The outlet reports Robinson was using aliases while running a business that put cops in off-duty security jobs ... and, he reportedly found himself in the crosshairs of a federal investigation for allegedly impersonating an officer.

A man shot and killed 2 people in Florida Friday, about a mile from where the ongoing PGA Tour is being played ... leading to the entrance time for the third round to be delayed by a couple of hours Saturday.

The suspect, identified by St. Johns County Sheriff Rob Hardwick as Christian Barrios, drilled 2 people with bullets around 10:30 PM Friday night in a Walgreens parking lot in connection with a domestic violence situation, Hardwick announced. He then sent authorities on a wild manhunt, including on TPC Sawgrass property, where the tour is being played.

Hardwick says Barrios stole a PGA Tour radio but later dropped it, and that K-9 units were hot on his trail at the TPC Sawgrass property.

The gunman then hopped into a black BMW and led cops all the way to Nassau County, where he crashed the car into the woods and fled on foot. He was eventually apprehended and put behind bars.

The two victims died in the hospital. Their identities have not been released.

Barrios has a criminal past with at least 27 arrests and was out on probation, Hardwick said, and he knew both people he murdered.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, a federal judge denied Steve’s effort to get the civil suit brought by the U.S. government against him tossed out of court.

In this case, the government claimed that Steve was notified of an ongoing federal investigation of potential crop insurance fraud involving various farming operations owned by Steve in June 2023.

Dirty Boxing heavyweight champion and former UFC fighter Jairzinho Rozenstruik can put his domestic violence arrest behind him -- TMZ Sports has learned officials have declined to pursue charges.

According to court records we obtained, the state filed its decision earlier this month -- formally dropping the case.

As for the reason why, the DA said "the victim refused to provide a sworn statement," adding that the "parties were engaged in mutual combat and provided conflicting accounts of the incident." The DA concluded that "[w]ithout the victim's cooperation there is no reasonable likelihood of conviction."

Lawyers for Sean "Diddy" Combs are arguing his sentence is far too harsh ... accusing the judge in a new legal filing of punishing him for crimes for which he was acquitted.

The rapper's legal team filed an appeal Friday in which they point out a jury found Diddy not guilty of sex trafficking and RICO charges ... yet Diddy received a sentence his lawyers say is roughly four times higher than normal for his prostitution-related Mann Act convictions.

Diddy's lawyers blast his 50-month sentence as a "perversion of justice."

The FBI has some new information to pore over in the Nancy Guthrie case ... 'cause the feds have been able to recover more images from surveillance cameras at her Arizona home.

According to ABC News, the feds recovered thumbnail images from Nancy's motion-activated cameras that were pointed at her swimming pool, backyard and side yard.

The report says the images show several people in the backyard and side yard ... and they are from before Nancy's abduction and shortly afterward, including the law enforcement response.

Interestingly, the cameras did not capture anything on the night of the abduction ... other than what the FBI has already released, showing a masked suspect with a backpack.

D4vd's good friend Neo is a friend no more ... at least that's the way it seems based on how he is privately torching the singer.

Neo, as you know, was arrested last month for failing to appear before a grand jury in the apparent murder of Celeste Rivas, and D4vd is the prime suspect.

Neo, who appeared before the grand jury for only 40 minutes, clearly did not offer much info, but now he says he knows a lot.

According to Neo's private Instagram posts -- posted Friday and shared via "Close Friends" -- he says, "Thankfully I'm legally fine in every way, AND BOI DO I GOT ALL MY RECEIPTS FOR THINGS HAHAHAHA."
