POLICÍA ESTATAL DE PENSILVANIA DETENIDO POR INTERNAR ILEGALMENTE A SU EX EN UN PSIQUIÁTRICO
Un policía del estado de Pensilvania fue arrestado por internar ilegalmente a su ex novia en un psiquiátrico, pero su plan salió mal luego de ser grabado sujetándola violentamente mientras ella rogaba por su liberación.
Ronald Davis fue detenido el pasado jueves y acusado de delito grave de estrangulamiento, restricción ilegal, detención ilegal, asalto simple, imprudentemente poner en peligro a otra persona y opresión policial.
El Fiscal de Distrito del Condado de Dauphin dijo que Davis está casado y tiene familia, pero tenía una "relación íntima" con su ahora ex novia.
Davis supuestamente aseguró ilegalmente una orden de internamiento involuntario y tenía a la mujer interna en un centro de salud mental en contra de su voluntad de acuerdo con una denuncia ante un tribunal penal.
Un amigo acompañó a Davis para grabarlo mientras detenía a la mujer antes de entregar el vídeo al fiscal, que lo hizo público.
Échale un vistazo al perturbador registro... Davis está sentado encima de la mujer, manoseándola en el suelo.
Ella le suplica que la deje, diciendo: "Esto no es normal. ¿Puedo levantarme? No he hecho nada malo, excepto estar en desacuerdo contigo".
La mujer intenta liberarse, luchando con Davis y dándole codazos en la espalda.
Pero Davis es demasiado fuerte y la mantiene bajo su control hasta que llegan más policías y es llevada al hospital para ser evaluada. La mujer pasó cinco días enteros en el pabellón psiquiátrico antes de ser dada de alta, pero no debería haber estado allí en primer lugar.
El fiscal dijo que Davis mantuvo una relación inestable con la mujer durante cuatro meses, amenazándola en un momento dado diciéndole: "Sé que no estás loca, te haré pasar por loca, conozco la ley".
Blueface I Can Post My Son's 🥜 If I Want ... Blame Chrisean For Neglecting Him
Blueface may have successfully destroyed any bit of public goodwill he had in his custody fight with Chrisean Rock ... posting a pic of their son's unhealthy genitals in an effort to prove his point -- but he's sticking to his guns.
On Sunday, Blueface shocked and angered onlookers online by uploading the graphic pic on social media with a complaint ... "This what my son d**k look like an she worried about me an lil baby c*** like bih get our son c*** right then do what you want."
We blurred the pic for obvious reasons, but Blue's defense is their still weeks-old son was suffering from a hernia but Chrisean still hadn't scheduled the necessary surgery to correct the condition.
Fans were split over Blueface's lack of family discretion ... one fan noted Chrisean's behavior during pregnancy may have pre-doomed the entire situation while Blueface even challenged another who questioned his parenting skills.
Others still want CPS to intervene ... which pretty much mirrors the thoughts of Blue's manager Wack 100, who demands the child return to the hospital so it can get the proper care.
Blue and Chrisean have been at each other's throats since the baby's birth ... last week Chrisean admitted fault for not cradling his head properly while shopping at Walmart, much to Blue's disappointment.
He doesn't think she's serious about raising the child but until something's done, the lil tyke will be the main one suffering.
Should there be legal consequences to Blueface posting a photo of his child's genitals? Vote below.

Psychotic Plan PA Trooper Arrested for Illegally Committing Ex To Psych Ward ... Disturbing Video
A Pennsylvania State Police Trooper allegedly had his ex-girlfriend illegally committed to a psych ward, but his crazy plan backfired after he was caught on video violently restraining her as she begged for her release.
Ronald Davis was arrested last Thursday and charged with felony strangulation, unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and official oppression.
The Dauphin County District Attorney said Davis is married with a family, but had an "intimate relationship" with his now former girlfriend.
Davis allegedly unlawfully secured an involuntary commitment order and had the woman tossed in a mental health facility against her will, according to a criminal court complaint.
A friend went along with Davis to record him taking the woman into custody before turning the video over to the D.A., who released it publicly.
Check out the disturbing clip ... Davis is sitting on top of the woman, manhandling her on the ground.
She pleads with him to get off her, telling him, "This isn't normal. Can I please get up? I didn't do anything wrong except disagree with you."
The woman tries to break free, wrestling with Davis and elbowing him in the back.
But, Davis is too strong and keeps her under his control until more cops arrive and she's taken to the hospital to be evaluated. The woman spent five whole days in the psych ward before getting discharged -- but she shouldn't have been there in the first place.
The D.A. said Davis carried on a four-month rocky relationship with the woman, threatening her at one point by saying, "I know you're not crazy, I'll paint you as crazy, I know the law."

Tory Lanez Wants Gen Pop in New Prison ... Not Scared of Dangers
-
Exclusive
- 153 shares
Tory Lanez is isolated in his prison cell, and amid a new, volatile environment, the guy's actually gunning to be among the normie inmates ... and he's not afraid at all.
Ceasar McDowell -- a member of Tory's legal team and the CEO of Unite the People -- tells us he's spoken to TL a few times since he was denied bond pending his appeal, and apparently Tory has a preference on where to be housed at the new facility ... gen pop.
Indeed ... we're told Tory's first choice is to be among the other inmates, as opposed to being siloed away in a protective wing ... where high-profile inmates often go. Instead, McDowell tells us Tory's relayed to him ... he wants to be among the common crowd, which is somewhat shocking.
TMZ broke the story -- Tory's currently isolated because of his celebrity status, getting frequent guard checks and escorts for meals -- but he doesn't want the special treatment ... he wants to be out with everybody else.
It goes without saying ... gen pop is where a lot of danger exists, and where an inmate could more easily run into problems. And despite this, we're told Tory has absolutely no apprehension about his safety ... as McDowell explains Tory thinks he can handle himself.
McDowell tells us that Tory's been fully briefed on prison life from several people in his own world -- and, generally speaking, he's a confident guy. In other words, it sounds like TL thinks he'd be able to fit right in without any problems.
More than this ... we're told there are practical reasons Tory's gunning for a gen Pop placement. An inmate in gen pop tends to have access to more programs and resources (like help/support groups) than the special wing prisoners do ... and McDowell says Tory wants the option to take advantage of those.
Unclear which of these Tory might want to join, but what McDowell does tell us is this ... Tory believes being a part of that will help him rehabilitate faster and come home sooner.
Now, while Tory might not fear his own safety in the new prison ... we're told he does have one lingering fear ... the real possibility of losing touch with his loved ones. We're told the communication rules at North Kern State Prison are different than what he had at L.A. County Jail ... where he could call anyone he wanted at any time.
Here, and for the time being, he'll have limited access to the outside world. McDowell says Tory can't make calls himself, but can still receive them from his legal team. This will only be temporary, however, as Tory sits tight in the "reception center" for the next 30 days.
McDowell says once Tory finishes his month in the reception center, he'll head into inmate orientation -- where they'll determine his fate as far as gen pop, etc. In the meantime, Tory's team is working round-the-clock to get a higher court to reverse the bond denial.

Alicia Keys is dipping her toes in the beverage game, but not booze ... the singer filed a trademark for her own lines of teas, and it seems to be inspired by a gift from Swizz Beatz.
According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Alicia's company, AK Worldwide, filed to lock up rights to the name, "Alicia Teas" for a line of teas -- an obvious pun on her own name that fits perfectly in the world of drinks.
And, here's the funny part -- it all seems based on a gift from her boo!
Swizz pulled out all the stops for AK's birthday in 2020, gifting Alicia her own personal line of teas ... something folks rarely get to unwrap on their big day.
Swizz even joked the line would eventually be sold in Starbucks stores worldwide ... so this could be a sign that fans of the coffee chain could be waking up with a daily dose of "Alicia Teas" pretty soon!

TORY LANEZ quiere estar con el resto de los reclusos Sin miedo
Tory Lanez está aislado en su celda de la prisión y con ganas de que lo trasladen con todos los demás.
Ceasar McDowell, un miembro del equipo legal de Tory y el CEO de Unite the People, nos dice que ha hablado con Tory un par de veces desde que se le negó la libertad bajo fianza en espera de su apelación y al parecer Tory tiene una preferencia sobre dónde ser alojado en la nueva instalación... gen pop.
De hecho, nos informaron que la primera opción de Tory es estar entre los otros reclusos en lugar de ser aislado en un ala de protección, donde los reclusos de alto perfil van a menudo. En cambio, McDowell nos dice Tory le ha dicho que quiere estar entre la multitud común, lo cual un poco chocante.
TMZ publicó la historia, Tory está actualmente aislado debido a su estatus de celebridad recibiendo frecuentes controles de guardia y escoltas para las comidas, pero él no quiere el tratamiento especial. Prefiere estar con todo el mundo.
Hay que tener en cuenta que ahí es donde existe más peligro, y donde un recluso podría tener problemas más fácilmente. Y a pesar de esto, se nos dice Tory tiene absolutamente ninguna aprensión por su seguridad, como McDowell explica Tory piensa que puede manejarlo.
McDowell nos dice que Tory ha sido informado sobre la vida en prisión de varias personas de su propio mundo y, en general, es un tipo seguro. En otras palabras, parece que Tory cree que podría encajar sin problemas.
No solo eso, nos informan que hay razones prácticas por las que Tory está intentando que lo trasladen a gen pop. Un recluso en gen pop tiende a tener acceso a más programas y recursos (como grupos de ayuda y apoyo) que los presos del ala especial, y McDowell dice Tory quiere la opción de entrar a alguno de esos programas.
No está claro a cuál de estos Tory podría unirse, pero lo que McDowell nos dice es que Tory cree que si logra rehabilitarse podría volver a casa más rápido.
Ahora, mientras que Tory podría no temer por su propia seguridad en la nueva prisión, nos informan que tiene un temor persistente... la posibilidad real de perder el contacto con sus seres queridos. Nos dicen que las normas de comunicación en el Norte de Kern State Prison son diferentes a las que tenía en Los Ángeles County Jail, donde podía llamar a quien quisiera en cualquier momento.
Aquí, y por el momento, tendrá acceso limitado al mundo exterior. McDowell dice Tory no puede hacer llamadas, pero todavía puede recibirlas de su equipo legal. Esto sólo será temporal, sin embargo, Tory tiene que permanecer en el "centro de recepción" los próximos 30 días.
McDowell dice que una vez que Tory termine su mes en el centro de recepción, se dirigirá a la orientación de reclusos donde van a determinar su destino en cuanto a gen pop, etc. Mientras tanto, el equipo de Tory está trabajando día y noche para conseguir un tribunal superior para revertir la denegación de bonos.
ALICIA KEYS Presenta solicitud Para lanzar su propia marca de té
Alicia Keys se está sumergiendo en el mundo de las bebidas, pero no precisamente del alcohol. La cantante ha presentado una solicitud de marca para su propia línea de té y parece estar inspirada en un regalo de Swizz Beatz.
De acuerdo con los documentos obtenidos por TMZ la compañía de Alicia, AK Worldwide, solicitó los derechos del nombre, "Alicia Teas" para realizar una línea de té. un juego de palabras obvio en su propio nombre que encaja perfectamente en el mundo de las bebidas.
Y aquí está la parte interesante... ¡todo parece estar basado en un regalo de su novio!
Swizz se lució en el cumpleaños de Alicia en 2020 regalandole productos de su propia línea personal de té, un negocio en el que la gente rara vez se ve envuelta estos días.
Swizz incluso bromeó con que la línea eventualmente se venderá en las tiendas de Starbucks en todo el mundo. Esto podría ser una señal de que los fans de la cadena de café podrían disfrutar de una dosis diaria de "Alicia Tés" muy pronto
Alleged Police Brutality CA Deputy Body Slams Teenage Girl ... Caught On Video
A California deputy was recorded committing alleged police brutality, body-slamming a teenage girl and nearly knocking her unconscious.
Disturbing footage of the terrifying ordeal was posted on Instagram late Friday night after Victorville PD deputies were called to squash a fight at Victor Valley High School earlier in the evening.
The video opens just after the deputy has hoisted the 16-year-old girl into the air, and then you see him aggressively throw her to the ground. Like a rag doll, her body goes limp.
People rush over to help her, including the photog ... the girl seems completely out of it and barely conscious.
A rep for Victorville PD tells TMZ ... deputies tried to disperse the rowdy group by firing pepper balls at them, but it didn't work.
The crowd then converged on the deputies as the girl tried to seize the pepper ball launcher.
That's when "the deputy pulled the female away causing her to land on the ground," according to police. Yet, the video clearly contradicts the PD's statement.
The teen was taken to a local hospital for treatment, but the extent of her injuries and her condition were not disclosed.
Cops said they arrested a 16-year-old boy for punching a deputy in the face and later booked him into a juvenile hall due to his age.
The D.A. is currently reviewing the matter to determine if charges are warranted against the boy -- and the girl.
Police brass would not comment on whether they're investigating the actions of the heavy-handed deputy, or if he would face any discipline.

La estrella de "The Challenge", C.T. Tamburello y su ex esposa, han acordado algunas estrictas reglas sobre el tiempo de crianza compartida de su hijo en medio de su divorcio. Esto ocurre un año después de que presentaran los papeles de divorcio.
Según documentos legales obtenidos por TMZ, C.T. y Lilianet "Lili" Solares han dado luz verde a múltiples reglas y regulaciones respecto a la custodia de su hijo, Christopher Jr., que nació en 2016, una de las cuales es que ninguno de los dos puede grabarlo con el propósito de interrogarlo.
Es más, C.T. y Lili no tienen permitido preguntarle a Christopher Jr. sobre el otro mientras pasan el tiempo acordado para cada uno. Los días en que está con uno de los progenitores, el otro tiene derecho a dos llamadas telefónicas con él a lo largo del día, aunque la orden le permite al niño acercarse al otro progenitor todo lo que quiera.
En cuanto a la manutención, el acuerdo temporal es que C.T. le pagará a Lili 332 dólares semanales cuando Christopher Jr. pase todo el tiempo con ella, y 175 dólares semanales cuando CT ejerza realmente su tiempo compartido con el niño.
TMZ dio la noticia, C.T. solicitó el divorcio el año pasado en Florida, luego de varias idas y venidas. En 2020, la estrella reveló que se habían separado el año anterior, pero terminaron volviendo.
Desde la solicitud de divorcio, la pareja acordó que C.T. se quede con su casa de Florida. Los documentos muestran que ella se mudaría a una propiedad alquilada. Aunque C.T. tuvo que darle una suma de $7.200.

"The Challenge" star C.T. Tamburello and his estranged wife have agreed on some strict rules regarding shared parenting time with their kid amid their ongoing divorce ... this coming a year after he originally filed.
According to legal docs, obtained by TMZ, C.T. and Lilianet "Lili" Solares have given the green light to multiple rules and regulations regarding the custody arrangement with their son, Christopher Jr., who was born in 2016 ... one of which is the parties agreeing not to record their son with the purpose of interrogating him.
What's more, C.T. and Lili aren't allowed to ask Christopher Jr. about the other parent while spending their designated time with him. On the days when he's with one of the parents, the other is entitled to 2 phone calls to him throughout the day, although the order does allow the kid to reach out to the other parent as much as he wants.
As for child support, the temporary arrangement is that C.T. will pay Lili $332 a week when Christopher Jr. spends all his time with his mom, and $175 a week when C.T. actually exercises his time with the kid.
TMZ broke the story, C.T. filed for divorce last year in Florida ... coming after a very on-again, off-again relationship. He revealed in 2020 that they separated the year before, but ended up back together.
Since filing, Lili's agreed that C.T. gets their Florida home, with docs showing she would be moving into a rental property quickly ... but C.T. had to fork over her $7,200 deposit.

Dog House of Horrors Dozens of Special Needs Pups Saved After Animal Abuse Claims
A woman said to be running a special needs dog rescue out of her Arizona home landed in jail after mounting allegations of animal abuse ... resulting in a major confiscation of pups.
April Mclaughlin was arrested Friday evening in Chandler, AZ following a search warrant that was executed at her house by local law enforcement ... which resulted in her being hauled away and booked on 55 counts of animal abuse, 55 counts of animal cruelty and a lone count of vulnerable adult abuse. All of this stems from what they found in this one home.
Multiple agencies were on the ground last night responding to the scene ... including the Arizona Humane Society, which assisted in removing dozens of canines from the property.
There were even hazmat teams deployed to deal with this -- as there was a reported foul odor emanating from the home that could be smelled from the street. Multiple bystanders watched as they removed dog after dog ... many of which were disabled and couldn't walk.
The bust follows weeks of claims from different animal rights orgs and other dog rescues in the area, as well as outside of the state ... with a key handful of women beating the drum on social media trying to raise awareness about what they alleged was going on here.
Essentially, they claimed this woman had gone around taking in special needs dogs from other dog rescues that didn't have the resources to accommodate them -- bringing them to a rescue called the Special Needs Animal Welfare League ... which these accusers allege is a total front, and that it simply existed as her own house as opposed to a legit facility.
Instead of providing them proper care, however ... these other orgs assert Mclaughlin treated them terribly -- allegedly removing the doggy wheelchairs of several of the pooches under her watch, and allegedly leaving them malnourished -- among other horrible conditions. Some of the court docs obtained by local outlets appear to back at least some of this up -- detailing what officers say they found inside, including several dead dogs in the freezer.
Here's another twist ... some outlets report that Mclaughlin had used multiple aliases to do what she's been alleged to have carried out. Obviously, unraveling this case will take time.
Unclear if AM's still in custody or not -- she's said to have been taken to Maricopa County Jail on $2,500 cash-only bond. Some reports have her on record as denying wrongdoing.
Whether she gets out or not ... her house has been officially condemned by the authorities.

Tory Lanez Party Of 1 In Prison ... Lonely Life Behind Bars

Tory Lanez has gotta be feeling lonely inside those prison walls ... because we're told his day-to-day schedule puts him in a solo situation, because of his celeb status.
Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the rapper's currently in Administrative Segregation at North Kern State Prison in Delano, CA ... because he's a high-profile inmate.
Our sources say Ad-Seg doesn't come with a whole lotta social interactions -- he's got a cell all to himself -- with frequent checks from guards.
We're told he's escorted to the showers where he bathes by himself, and if he chooses to spend time in the yard, he'll be the only one in the fenced-off area.
He also isn't going to the chow hall like his fellow inmates, so all meals are brought to him -- and, as we reported, he's been chowing down on bologna sandwiches and hard-boiled eggs.
We're also told he's in handcuffs whenever he's escorted out of his cell ... but that's just policy for folks in Ad-Seg.
Remember, Tory arrived at the state prison Tuesday after being sentenced to 10 years for his conviction in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case.
Keep in mind, this isn't his permanent prison home -- it's a transition prison while authorities determine where he should serve out his sentence.

Tory Lanez Fiesta para uno en prisión Solitaria vida tras las rejas
Tory Lanez se debe estar sintiendo muy solo dentro de los muros de la prisión porque, según nos han dicho, su horario del día a día lo deja en una situación solitaria debido a su estatus de celebridad.
Las fuerzas del orden le dicen a TMZ que el rapero se encuentra en segregación administrativa en North Kern State Prison en Delano, California porque ser de alto perfil.
Nuestras fuentes dicen que este estatus no viene con un montón de interacciones sociales, pero tiene una celda para él solo y recibe frecuentes controles de los guardias.
Nos dicen que es escoltado a las duchas donde se baña él mismo y si decide pasar tiempo en el patio, será el único en la zona vallada.
Tampoco va al comedor como el resto de sus compañeros. Le traen todas las comidas y, como ya informamos, ha estado comiendo sándwiches de mortadela y huevos duros.
También nos dicen que está esposado cada vez que es escoltado fuera de su celda. Pero esa es una política solo para la gente en segregación administrativa.
Hay que recordar que Tory llegó a la prisión estatal el martes después de haber sido condenado a 10 años por el caso de disparos contra Megan Thee Stallion.
Tengan en cuenta que este no es su hogar permanente en la cárcel. Esta es solo su situación actual hasta que averiguar en qué instalación pasará el resto de su condena en.
Sophie Turner Tiempo con las niñas luego de salir con Taylor
Sophie Turner nos está diciendo que puede hacer ambas cosas: tener una noche de diversión con Taylor Swift y pasar un tiempo de calidad con sus hijas, todo en medio de su acalorada batalla por la custodia con Joe Jonas.
La estrella de "Juego de Tronos" estuvo con sus hijas el viernes en Manhattan, empujando a Willa de 3 años y a su hermanita de 1 año, en un cochecito.
La discreta salida de Sophie ocurrió el día después de que tuviera su segunda dosis de "noche de chicas" con Taylor. Recuerden que ambas fueron vistas yendo al Hotel Barriére Fouquet de Nueva York el jueves por la noche.
Por supuesto, el telón de fondo de todo es que Taylor salió brevemente con Joe en 2008.
Las chicas se veían muy cercanas el martes cuando se dirigían a Via Carota para tomar y cenar algo juntas, mientras el divorcio de Sophie y Joe se calienta más y más.
Como informamos, Sophie presentó una demanda el jueves contra Joe, alegando que está manteniendo ilegalmente a sus hijas en EE.UU. en lugar de dejarlas volver a Inglaterra con ella. Incluso citó una ley de sustracción de menores
Joe ha negado cualquier delito, y dice que Sophie es en realidad la que estaría violando una orden judicial de Florida, donde fueron presentados los documentos de divorcio, que prohíbe a los padres la reubicación de sus hijos.
También tenemos fotos de Sophie y Joe almorzando el lunes en Manhattan. Nos dijeron que no había signos de drama ese día, lo que claramente cambió con la demanda de Sophie.
Por cierto, la actriz también había sido vista con Willa horas después de presentar su demanda, por lo que parece que es totalmente capaz de equilibrar el tiempo de mamá y el tiempo de diversión con los amigos.
Sophie Turner Mommy Time with Her Kids After Night Out with Taylor
Sophie Turner's sending the message that she can do both -- have a fun night with Taylor Swift AND get in some QT with her kids -- all amid her heated custody battle with Joe Jonas.
The "Game of Thrones" star was out with her kids Friday in Manhattan ... pushing 3-year-old Willa and her 1-year-old little sis in a stroller.
Sophie's low-key outing comes the day after her second dose of girls' night with Taylor ... remember, the ladies headed into NYC's Hotel Barriére Fouquet Thursday night.
Of course, the backdrop to them hanging out is that Taylor briefly dated Joe back in 2008.
The women were like 2 peas in a pod Tuesday, hitting up Via Carota to grab some dinner together -- of course, all while Sophie and Joe's divorce really heats up.
As we reported, Sophie filed a lawsuit Thursday against Joe, claiming he's unlawfully keeping their daughters in the U.S. instead of letting them go back to England with her ... citing a child abduction law.
Joe's denied any wrongdoing, and says Sophie's actually the one violating a court order in Florida -- where he filed his divorce docs -- blocking both parents from relocating their kids.
We also got pics of Sophie and Joe grabbing lunch Monday in Manhattan. We were told there were no signs of drama that day ... which, of course, changed with her lawsuit.
BTW, Sophie was also spotted with Willa hours after filing her lawsuit, so it appears she's fully capable of balancing mommy time and fun time with friends.

Bijou Phillip's divorce filing against Danny Masterson seemed shocking considering her very public support of the actor, but behind the scenes, it wasn't a big surprise ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the estranged couple tell TMZ Masterson knew the divorce docs were coming, so he wasn't blindsided as many had suspected. We're told Danny and Bijou's main concern now is to protect their daughter from upcoming appeals and legal challenges.
As we reported, Danny was sentenced to 30 years to life behind bars for two rape convictions.
Many speculated Bijou's divorce filing could be an attempt to protect their daughter's future assets if civil lawsuits follow ... though the exact reason she filed is still unclear.
As we reported, Bijou was steadfast in her support of Danny throughout his trial ... even writing a letter to the judge and praising Danny for his character and her trust in him as a father and partner.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis also wrote letters of support for Masterson, but faced heavy backlash from the public ... Ashton stepped down from the anti-child trafficking organization he co-founded in wake of the anger.
