Woman allegedly attacked boyfriend with box cutter because he didn’t get her a birthday present
WEST NEWTON BOROUGH, Pa. – A woman is accused of attacking her boyfriend with a box cutter because she didn’t get the birthday she was expecting.
A few hours after taking Georgia Michelle Zowacki out to dinner for her 55th birthday, her boyfriend said she became upset nobody bought her a card, cake or gift. He also said she had been drinking vodka throughout the day to celebrate.
“Next thing you know, I’m getting stabbed,” the boyfriend, David Rae, told KDKA.
Rae alleges Zowacki attacked him with a box cutter, putting it near his throat and threatening to kill him. “She went to my neck, she says, ‘I’m going to kill you,’” Rae explained. He said his girlfriend then slashed his arm with the weapon.
After cutting him, Rae told Westmoreland County Police Zowacki went into his bedroom and threw his TV set on the ground, broke his bed, tipped over his nightstand and threw other objects around the room.
“Destroyed my bedroom,” Rae said. “Destroyed it.”
The two had been living together at their West Newton home for about four months prior to the incident, according to the criminal complaint.
After the alleged attack, police said Zowacki left the residence on foot. When police arrived at the scene, she was on a nearby neighbor’s porch.
Zowacki spent the rest of her birthday in jail. She has been charged with aggravated assault, held on a $25,000 bond.
Meanwhile, Rae received several stitches. But he told KDKA, he feels lucky he didn’t end up dead.

They said he eventually crashed, and two people were hospitalized as a result.
While being held in the Norfolk Jail, court documents state that Gaye spoke to three women over the phone, encouraging them to threaten the witness in his case.

Court records state Pinkett mentioned photographing the act.

Florida man arrested as he live streams his own crime, hits baby in head
PINELLAS COUNTY, Fl. (CNN Wires) — A Florida man has been arrested as he live streamed his crimes inside a Walgreens, including hitting a newborn in the head with a box.
Ryan Greenlee was arrested by Largo police on Wednesday night on six different counts including child abuse, battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest and resisting arrest with violence.
In a public video, live streamed on Facebook, Greenelee went inside the Walgreens on Ulmerton Road and taunted the camera with his money to buy two packs of beef jerky.
However, Greenlee didn’t have enough money and was eventually asked to leave the store as he became belligerent, according to an arrest report.
While leaving, Greenlee became disorderly and started throwing items off the counter, including a box that hit a newborn in the head.
In the video, you can hear the confrontation, but you don’t see the baby hit with the box — but seconds later you hear the two-month old crying.
“I was just so angry that I didn’t even cry,” said the mother, “I was just trying to be as level headed as I could.”
After the baby was hit, an arrest affidavit states that Greenlee then hit a male clerk who was trying to intervene.
The video carries into the parking lot, where it’s hard to make sense of what was happening, but it appears the camera is being tossed around.
Greenlee returns the vehicle he arrived in laughing as a friend in the car said he took things too far.
“I didn’t do nothing, all I wanted to do is go to the store, bro,” said Greenlee in the live stream.
A spokesperson for the Largo Police Department said if you’re ever a witness or a victim to people acting belligerent, remove herself.
“If you are ever out in public and someone behaves in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, remove yourself from the situation and notify someone of authority,” said Sgt. Scott Gore.
A mugshot of Greenlee has not been taken as he is in the healthcare wing of the jail.

Texas man used hacksaw to cut off mother’s head
DENTON, Texas (AP/Meredith) — A Texas man used a hacksaw to cut off his mother’s head before fleeing and leading police on a chase into Oklahoma last week before they arrested him, authorities said.
Isaac Israel Warriner, 22, was being held Friday in a Denton County, Texas, jail on charges including the abuse of a corpse. He hasn’t been charged with killing his mother, Sarah Warriner, 65, and investigators will consult with the district attorney’s office and medical examiners to determine if additional charges will be filed, Denton city police spokeswoman Khristen Jones said.
Police in Denton, which is about 35 miles (55 kilometers) northwest of Dallas, were called to an apartment complex May 5 by a neighbor who said Isaac Warriner “was acting weird” and carrying around cleaning supplies, according to an affidavit. Officers found his mother’s headless body and the hacksaw inside the Warriners’ unit. Her head wasn’t found in the apartment and Jones, citing the ongoing investigation, declined to say whether it’s been located.
Authorities believe Sarah Warriner had been dead for at least two days before her body was found.
Days earlier, she had taken her son to a Denton hospital after he used a razor to cut his arms, the affidavit said. A nurse called security when Isaac Warriner threatened to kill his mother and himself. Police eventually were called, but he fled the hospital before officers arrived.
Isaac Warriner was spotted in his mother’s car on May 6 and led police on a chase up Interstate 35 into Oklahoma, where he was arrested and held before being returned Thursday to Denton. Online jail records don’t indicate whether he has an attorney.
His father, Kenneth Warriner, told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram this month that his son suffered a mental breakdown a few months ago.
“She had allowed him to stay with her after his last rehabilitation stay,” Kenneth Warriner said of his ex-wife. “He was prescribed psychotic drugs to try and help, but that didn’t seem to work.

Willow Smith Reveals She Used to Cut Herself
Article via PopCulture
Willow Smith shared her story of self-harm in an episode of Jada Pinkett Smith‘s Red Table Talk, sparking conversations about mental health and coping mechanisms.
The Smith family has put some important topics into the public conversation in the last year on Red Table Talk, the generation-spanning talk show on Facebook Watch. They revisited some of their biggest moments on Thursday at an event in Los Angeles, celebrating the talk show’s upcoming second season. According to TooFab, Jada Pinkett Smith said that her daughter has done a lot of good by opening up about her history of self-harm.
“I’ve had a lot of young people come up to me about Willow as well,” she said. “In that particular episode when she kind of revealed about self-harm, we had people in our family that we didn’t even know that felt like now they could reveal what had been going on with them because Willow did.”
Pinkett Smith said that her daughter’s revelation opened up important conversations throughout their whole family, and now the world is having those discussions as well.
“That particular episode was a deeply healing episode within our internal family because there had been a few people who had been going through stuff that none of us knew about,” she continued. “Because of Willow’s strength and courage, we were able to connect on a different level. That was a really powerful episode for us personally as a family.”
Willow Smith told her story in one of the show’s first episodes, back in May of 2018. She recalled feeling like she has lost her “sanity” in 2010, after the explosive release of her song “Whip My Hair.”
“I had just stopped doing singing lessons and I was kind of just in this gray area of, ‘Who am I? Do I have a purpose? Is there anything I can do besides this?'” she explained. “After the tour, the promotion and all that, they wanted me to finish my album and I was like, I’m not going to do that,” she recalled.
“After all of that kinda settled down and it was like a kind of lull, I was just listening to a lot of dark music. It was just so crazy and I was plunged into this black hole, and I was cutting myself,” she went on.
That caught Pinkett Smith off guard, as she apparently heard it for the first time on air. Willow said that she had kept her self-harm a secret from everyone except for one friend.
“I never talk about it because it was such a short, weird point in my life,” she said. “I honestly felt like I was experiencing so much emotional pain, but my physical circumstances weren’t reflecting that. One night I was like, this is actually psychotic and after that I just stopped.”
Red Table Talk will be back for another season on Facebook Watch.

Halle Berry admits she knew this movie she starred in was doomed to flop
Article via FoxNews
Halle Berry had a confession to make during an appearance on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” this week.
On the show, the actress played “Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts,” a game in which the contestant can choose to answer one of Corden’s questions or eat something unappetizing.
At one point, Corden asked Berry if she had ever worked on a movie she knew would likely not be a success.
In lieu of eating beetle nachos, the 52-year-old had a candid response.
“I’m sorry everybody who worked on this movie but I kind of knew it wasn’t going to be the greatest cinematic experience for the people,” she said of the 1996 film “The Rich Man’s Wife.” The movie, in which Berry played the character Josie Potenza, has a total lifetime gross amount of roughly $8.5 million, per Box Office Mojo.
“You go into these movies always with the best intention,” she continued. “But then sometimes you get on the set and then you realize, ‘What was I, high when I agreed to do this?'”
Berry’s honest answer came just days after she showed off her bold new hairdo at a special screening of “John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.” The actress stars alongside Keanu Reeves in the new film.

Arnold Schwarzenegger blindsided, dropkicked in the back during sporting event in South Africa
Article via FoxNews
Arnold Schwarzenegger appears to have avoided serious injury after the 71-year-old former Governor of California was blindsided and dropkicked in the back while at an event in South Africa Saturday.
The “Terminator” actor is in Sandton, South Africa, for a sporting event called the Arnold Classic Africa, per The Sandton Chronicle.
In a video of the incident which emerged online, Schwarzenegger can be seen watching and videoing a jump-rope competition at the event at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

At one point, just as Schwarzenegger appears to hand someone the cell phone he was using to take video, a man appears behind him, jumps and kicks him in the back, sending him sprawling to the ground. The man was promptly detained by security and dragged away.
Later on, the video shows Schwarzenegger, who appears to be unharmed, leaving the convention center.
Following the attack, Schwarzenegger took to Twitter to comment on the incident.
“Thanks for your concerns, but there is nothing to worry about. I thought I was just jostled by the crowd, which happens a lot. I only realized I was kicked when I saw the video like all of you. I’m just glad the idiot didn’t interrupt my Snapchat,” he wrote.

Cop resigns after pulling gun on black college student picking up trash outside dorm
A white police officer who pulled out his gun during a heated confrontation with a black college student picking up trash outside his Colorado dorm is resigning — and will continue to collect his paycheck for the next eight months, city officials said.
The officer, John Smyly, was identified Thursday as the 14-year department veteran seen in a 16-minute video posted to YouTube after confronting Zayd Atkinson outside a Naropa University dorm in Boulder on March 1, the Boulder Daily Camera reports.
Smyly, who had been on paid leave since the tense encounter, was found in violation of two department policies but resigned his post before the end of the city’s disciplinary process.
As part of an agreement, he’ll remain an employee through February and earn roughly $69,000 in salary for unused holiday and sick time, officials said.
“The exchange between Officer Smyly and Mr. Atkinson does not represent the professionalism of the Boulder Police Department nor the community Boulder desires to be,” City Attorney Tom Carr said in a statement to the newspaper. “While we have no proof racial bias was a motivating factor, the internal affairs investigation resulted in sustained violations of police policies.”
Smyly violated police authority and public trust and conduct, according to the review process that would’ve likely ended in his suspension or termination had he not already resigned from the department, police told the newspaper.
Smyly was conducting extra patrols due to recent crime in the area when he encountered Atkinson with an “unknown object in his left hand,” according to a summary of the probe released by Boulder police Chief Greg Testa.
Video shows Smyly approaching Atkinson in a partially enclosed patio area behind a “private property sign,” prompting the officer to ask if the man had a right to be there. Atkinson, who was holding a trash picker at the time, then told Smyly that he both lived and worked there before giving the officer his ID card.
Atkinson then started to walk away and continue picking up trash after Smyly asked for his address and date of birth, leading Smyly to radio for help. Atkinson then raised his voice, causing the officer to become “threatened by the trash grabber,” according to the report.
“You’re probably going to get tased in a second, because you have a weapon,” Smyly told Atkinson before brandishing his handgun.
Smyly later said he believed his stun gun would be ineffective in subduing Atkinson because of the heavy coat he was wearing at the time, according to the report.
Atkinson asked for Smyly’s supervisor several times during the footage and a total of eight officers and a sergeant responded to the scene. But none of those officers, including Smyly, pointed their weapons at Atkinson, the report found.
“The subject officer should have ended his contact with Mr. Atkinson as soon as Mr. Atkinson provided his name, address and a brief explanation of what he was doing,” the report read.
Investigators also determined that a person overheard on the footage telling Atkinson that he was likely racially profiled was a Naropa employee — and not one of the responding officers.
Atkinson’s attorney, meanwhile, said he was upset that Smyly is allowed to stay on the city’s payroll for more than eight months.
“If you or I did what Officer Smyly did to Zayd Atkinson, not only would we be immediately fired, we would be criminally prosecuted,” attorney Siddhartha Rathod told the newspaper. “The citizens of Boulder should be outraged that Boulder either doesn’t have the ability or the will to fire this officer and root out discrimination from this police department.”
