A personal trainer in South Carolina has gone missing ... eerily vanishing into the woods after she was done working out at the gym.

Authorities have searched the area on foot and with a drone ... and so far, nothing.

Ms. Juicy got emotional while speaking to cops after her arrest for driving on a suspended license ... crying while handcuffed in the back of a squad car ... and you see it all in police body camera footage.

TMZ obtained the body cam from the “Little Woman: Atlanta” star's arrest on April 18 in Winder, Georgia. Officers cited Ms. Juicy, whose real name is Shirlene King-Pearson, for issues with her license and not having proof of insurance.

In the video, Ms. Juicy explains she was unaware of any issues with her license and believed she had handled any problems.

The reality star, who was using an asthma pump device connected to her nose, told cops she needed the device. The officers helped Ms. Juicy get into the cop car and then put handcuffs on her in front ... and it didn't take long for tears to flow.

The Los Angeles Police Department shot and killed a 2-year-old dog after his owner had the cops called on her for screaming after the Knicks the NBA title ... and we're told police have yet to apologize to the grieving woman.

Marie Marseille is the late dog's owner and her sister, Vanessa, tells TMZ ... the family is mourning the death of Marie's doodle, Jameson, and they're trying to comfort each other amid a "very shocking and devastating" situation.

And to rub salt into the wound, Marie's sister tells us LAPD has NOT offered the family an apology following Saturday night's tragedy.

A GoFundMe page for the 2-year-old dog shot and killed by an LAPD officer has soared to over $100,000 in donations.

As we reported ... the dog, Jameson, was shot to death when cops responded to his owner's home after a concerned neighbor heard a woman screaming after the New York Knicks won the NBA Finals.

LAPD says the dog charged at them, and that's why an officer pulled the trigger ... but his owner, Marie Marseille, claims her dog wasn't doing anything wrong.

9:34 AM -- The Los Angeles Police Department has issued a news release on the shooting. They said in a statement ... "The officers met with the person reporting (PR) who directed the officers to the apartment unit. The officers contacted the resident in the apartment unit; while speaking with the resident, a large dog was by its side barking at the officers."

They continue ... "The officers asked her to secure the dog, and the resident closed her door momentarily. She re-opened the door, and the dog exited the apartment. Once outside of the apartment, the dog charged at one of the officers, resulting in an Officer-Involved Shooting (OIS)."

LAPD says the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services responded and took Jameson's body. They added Marie was cooperating with authorities.

According to the release, the Force Investigation Division is investigating the incident.

LAPD shot and killed a 2-year-old dog who wasn't doing anything wrong ... at least according to his owner.

Cops were responding to a call Saturday from a resident who wanted them to check on a screaming woman in a Canoga Park condo building. When officers arrived, they fatally shot the woman's dog, Jameson, claiming he rushed at the officers.

But his owner, Marie Marseille, says that's not what happened. She told FOX 11 ... "Jameson wasn't baring teeth. He wasn't growling. He wasn't aggressive. He wasn't barking. He was just moving towards the officer."

A shooting in Times Square left one teenager injured following the Knicks’ Game 5 NBA Finals victory ... with police describing a night of widespread chaos across New York City.

Law enforcement sources tell us the most serious incident unfolded around 43rd Street and Broadway, where a 17-year-old victim was shot during the post-game celebrations.

Authorities say the NYPD, not an ambulance, transported the teen victim to the hospital because emergency vehicles were unable to access the area due to massive crowds that had "completely taken it over."

Officials also confirm a firearm was recovered at the scene, and three people of interest are currently in custody as the investigation continues.

The city that never sleeps didn’t even try to chill Saturday night ... because the moment the Knicks secured a massive Game 5 victory in the NBA Finals, New York City exploded into celebration.

Rick James' son, Tazman Johnson, is currently locked up in the Los Angeles County Jail facing serious drug charges involving Fentanyl ... TMZ has learned. 

TMZ obtained jail records that show the late musician's son was arrested April 29 on a felony warrant and no bail warrant.

Court docs, obtained by TMZ, say Tazman was initially arrested in March 2024 for possession of Fentanyl. Rick's son was charged with misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor drug paraphernalia. He was released from custody on bond.

A couple weeks later, a judge issued a bench warrant for $10K after Tazman failed to appear in court.

He wasn't arrested on the bench warrant until April, and last month he pleaded not guilty to both charges.

I want to say categorically that these allegations and accusations that have been circulating are false. Additionally, it’s important to clarify that Francesca and I have never been anything more than friends and respected colleagues. I’d like to apologize to her for the impact of these last few days."

Tigger added ... "Out of respect for everyone involved, I ask for grace, privacy, and restraint as my family navigates this difficult moment. For more than 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of serving my community through music, entertainment, and connection, and I remain grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in me throughout that journey. I intend to continue living and leading in a manner worthy of that trust.”

Big Tigger's latest headline has nothing to do with radio ... it's a police investigation involving his wife, Alicia Brown, and cops say he's the prime suspect in an alleged assault.

According to police documents obtained by TMZ, Brown was involved in an alleged assault during a May incident that prompted authorities to open a domestic dispute investigation. The records identify Big Tigger -- the longtime radio personality and former host of BET's iconic "Rap City," whose real name is Darian Morgan -- as the suspect.

Dispatch records show Brown sought medical treatment for her injuries before police were contacted and an investigation was launched. She was later transported to a hospital ... though authorities noted her injuries were not considered life-threatening.
