Crime

A Montana bear is apparently graduating from picnic basket theft to grand theft auto ... opening up a car door and jumping inside in a shocking new video.

We've obtained an exclusive clip of this grisly grizzly walking right up a driveway in Whitefish, MT, Friday night around 9 PM local time ... strutting up to the door and letting himself inside.

It's hard to tell exactly what this wild criminal is up to ... but he rattled around in the car for a while -- before heading on his merry beary way. In his defense, maybe he thought it was his Su-bear-u.

Another one of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged victims is finally ready to speak out ... revealing the inner workings of the "cult" he built up.

Julia Molchanova spoke to The Wall Street Journal in a wide-ranging interview ... telling the outlet she met Epstein when she was 22 and became his "assistant" -- a term she says he used to cover his sexual abuse of her.

Julia says being one of Epstein's assistants was like being in a "cult" ... noting she had to follow very specific decorum requirements.

Jack Doherty was arrested in Florida after cops say he got into a physical dispute with a woman inside a residence ... TMZ has learned.

A spokesperson for the Fort Lauderdale Police Department tells TMZ ... cops responded to a residence just before noon Friday and determined Jack and a female victim had gotten into a physical altercation.

The woman was not injured, law enforcement tells us.

D4vd apparently made a pen pal while behind bars ... one whom it appears he initially agreed to help bail out -- before backing out of his promise.

We've obtained letters D4vd sent to a "trustee," an incarcerated person who works inside the prison, who worked at a jail in Los Angeles. This trustee met D4vd while serving food in the joint ... becoming friendly before D4vd started writing him letters. We're told they would mail out the letters even though they were in the same facility.

You can read the letters for yourself ... they are religious in tone with D4vd writing that he's putting his faith in God and telling a fellow inmate to do the same.

Alan Jackson -- the big-time defense attorney who represented Karen Read in Massachusetts during both her criminal trials -- says he sees similarities between her case and Lindsay Clancy's .... especially in the controversial way both were handed a mistrial.

Jackson joined us on "TMZ Live" Friday shortly after a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court justice upheld the mistrial ruling ... and he says the justice system in Massachusetts going after Lindsay again and failing to get a conviction would be a serious black eye.

He says he felt it was a "travesty" when Karen's case ended in a mistrial the first time ... adding he didn't understand when the judge didn't poll individual jurors to see if they'd come to some type of verdict.

An Illinois mother is accused of murdering her 2-year-old son hours after texting friends about the Lindsay Clancy trial.

Shia LaBeouf may be able to rest a little easier ... the woman who had a weird confrontation with him in a parking lot just pleaded guilty to stalking and has been ordered not to come near the actor as part of her sentence ... but she did avoid jail ... TMZ has learned.

Court docs, obtained by TMZ, show Alyssa Couture, who was arrested on July 13 in Louisiana after following Shia to a bank parking lot, pleaded guilty to stalking at the recent hearing.

The judge ordered Alyssa to serve one year in jail but suspended the sentence in favor of giving her a year of probation. Alyssa will also have to enroll in and complete a mental health program and stay far away from Shia.

Lindsay Clancy's ex-husband is speaking out after her case ended in a mistrial ... saying the deaths of their three children are something he'll never recover from.

He added ... "The loss of Patrick's children is something from which he will never recover and from which there will never be closure."

Jack Doherty has been arrested in Florida ... TMZ has learned.

According to jail records obtained by TMZ, the influencer was booked Friday in Broward County on a charge of domestic violence battery.

As of now details of the incident are unclear... but sources close to Jack tell TMZ that his actions were done in self-defense.

As we previously reported ... Jack was arrested by Miami Beach Police in November 2025 outside a smoke shop and booked on charges of possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, and resisting arrest.

Police said Jack was carrying amphetamine at the time ... a medication commonly used to treat ADHD and narcolepsy as well as less than 20 grams of weed.

Video of the arrest showed him arguing with officers.

Jack later told TMZ the experience was the worst day of his life ... describing hours spent in multiple holding cells before he was released on $3,500 bail.

After getting out, Jack posted a video wearing a TMZ T-shirt of his mug shot ... joking about his arrest and complaining that jail was too dirty for him to shower there. He also bragged that he posted bail and was released in under 24 hours.

Lindsay Clancy's mistrial has a ton of people heated ... including TMZ's own Harvey Levin and defense attorney Mark Geragos.

The pair had it out Friday afternoon on their weekly podcast after Judge William F. Sullivan declared a mistrial in the case Friday morning ... and Harvey thinks the D.A. will think twice before asking for a retrial.

As we reported ... Lindsay Clancy's attorney -- Kevin Reddington -- asked Judge Sullivan for time so he could appeal the mistrial decision to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court ... and the judge gave him an hour.

12:41 PM PT -- Lindsay Clancy's attorney, Kevin Reddington, spoke to the media after a Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court justice upheld the mistrial ... blasting investigators and the District Attorney Tim Cruz.

Kevin also called Lindsay a wonderful woman who is going through a very difficult time now ... before thanking the 11 jurors who came to a consensus -- and singling out the 12th for robbing them of their verdict.

Worth noting ... Cruz said Friday his office will not decide today whether to retry the case or not.

11:20 AM PT -- The mistrial will stand in Lindsay Clancy's trial. The State Supreme Court Justice rejected Reddington's motion to overturn the mistrial.

10:05 AM PT -- The judge has given the defense another hour to go before the State Supreme Court and argue the mistrial should be overturned.

We know the defense has filed legal docs with the SC, but it is unclear if the Court will hear the matter. It is likely that one SC Justice will look at the defense petition and make a decision, at least temporarily, until the full Court can hear the case.

A clerk for the SC just told TMZ ... the Court will hear the defense's motion to overturn the mistrial.

Lindsay Clancy, her lawyers, the prosecution, and the judge headed back to the courtroom soon ... and we're live streaming it all.

The trial's principals are back after the judge's shocking deadline to her attorney -- Kevin Reddington ... giving him just an hour to go to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to petition a justice to overturn the judge's mistrial decision.

As we reported ... Judge Sullivan sent jurors back into the deliberation room Friday morning -- but they emerged a short time later and once again said they were deadlocked. He declared a mistrial, then gave Reddington one hour to get someone above his pay grade to change his mind.

10:50 AM PT -- The Massachusetts Supreme Court Justice has heard arguments from both sides, and will make a ruling ... and she says she'll do it pretty quickly. Stay tuned, because she could be back within just a few minutes.

The Supreme Court of Massachusetts has agreed to hear Lindsay Clancy's argument to block the trial judge from declaring a mistrial, and we are livestreaming in the Supreme Court.

Clancy's lawyer, Kevin Reddington, is trying to block the mistrial, arguing in part the holdout juror is not following the law concerning reasonable doubt ... at least so claims the jury foreman.

The vote is 11 - 1, and although we do not know what specific charge is behind the vote, it seems somewhat likely the 11 may be voting not guilty by reason of insanity.

11:20 AM PT -- The mistrial will stand in Lindsay Clancy's trial.

8:32 AM PT -- Wow -- Reddington just told the judge he wanted to immediately go to the Massachusetts Supreme Court to reverse what he called "this travesty." He asked the judge not to dismiss the jury until the Supreme Court ruled. The judge gave Reddington 1 hour to go to the Supreme Court. This is high tension.

The jury in Lindsay Clancy’s murder case was unable to reach a verdict, and the judge just declared a mistrial.

They deliberated for 38 hours ... 2 hours after the judge said the lone holdout could remain on the jury.

The jury has sent the judge a note ... saying it was with a heavy heart that the jury could not reach a unanimous verdict.

The judge said after sending the jury back twice, he was required by law to declare a mistrial.
