Woman arrested for DUI after calling 911 to report ‘drunk driver’
WOODS CROSS, Utah – Utah police responding to reports of a drunk driver caught up with the suspect – who turned out to be the 911 caller herself.
Officers arrested 32-year-old Breanna Dawn Hernandez while she was in Woods Cross on Aug. 16, according to a probable cause statement.
Hernandez, through belches and fits of laughter, described both herself and her car to the dispatcher while claiming she was following a drunk driver, according to a police affidavit.
Hernandez tried to run away on foot after spotting officers, then struggled during the arrest. She was so intoxicated, documents state, that she had to be restrained and forcibly taken to the hospital for a blood draw.
Officers found a nearly empty bottle of Fireball whiskey in the vehicle, KTVX reports.
She was charged with DUI and reportedly sentenced to 12 days in jail, a $1,260 fine and 12 months of probation.

Michigan mom buys iPhone from online seller, ends up with 2 bars of soap and loses $450
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (WXYZ) — Samantha Powell is a local mom who says she was just trying to buy her daughter an iPhone, when she ended up getting scammed.
A few weeks ago, Powell says she made a deal with a “seller” on the app ‘LetGo’. They communicated on the app and agreed on a price of $450.
Powell says she had saved money for 6 months in order to buy her daughter an iPhone before school started.
She agreed to meet the “seller” at an apartment complex in Allen Park. She had gone there with her husband, but when they exchanged the money and the iPhone box,
Powell says the “seller” took off running. Her husband opened the box and found no iPhone, just two bars of soap.
Powell told 7 Action News, “When he opened it, we were both dumbfounded. We were just staring at it: Did that just happen?”
She says they tried going after the “seller” but she was gone.
They called police and also filed a police report. Powell says she heard the “seller” even went on Facebook and bragged about what she had done.
“She was pretty much saying haha thinking that she wasn’t going to get caught,” she says.
But she may not be laughing now. Powell says the 18-year-old “seller” used a fake name on ‘LetGo’, but had provided her phone number for the sale. That’s how police were able to figure out who she is.
Powell says that “seller” is an 18 year-old woman. Police say she has been ticketed and if she doesn’t show up for court, a warrant will be issued for her arrest.
Meanwhile, Powell says she hopes her story will help remind others to meet up at a police department for such a transaction. She has since gotten her daughter an iPhone off Craigslist. She said she met the seller at a local police department and had no problem.

Kevin Hart is ‘going through hell’ after terrifying car crash
Kevin Hart fractured his spine in three places and is still “going through hell,” according to a report, as 911 calls show he was incoherent and unable to move after his terrifying car crash.
The 40-year-old actor had surgery in Los Angeles on Sunday night to fuse the fractures, two in the thoracic part of his spine and one in the lumbar, sources told TMZ.
While the surgery was a success, the “Jumanji” star is still heavily medicated and “going through hell,” the site said.
Lumbar fractures can make walking difficult and even lead to partial paralysis, but Hart is expected to make a full recovery, TMZ said.
The update comes as newly released 911 calls reveal the horrors of the crash — and the seriousness of Hart’s condition, even though his team initially took him home rather than to a hospital.
“I don’t know what happened … He’s not coherent at all,” an unidentified woman calling from Hart’s home tells the 911 operator.
“He can’t move,” she said, stressing that he was “breathing” and confirming the injuries were to his back.
A motorist who stopped to help at the crash site in Malibu Hills told dispatchers that the 1970 Plymouth Barracuda — Hart’s birthday present to himself in July — had been destroyed.
“The roof is crushed. And the car is pretty totaled. The door is smashed in,” he told the dispatcher.
The caller assumed Hart had been the driver, despite officials saying his friend Jared Black, 28, was behind the wheel. Black’s fiancée, Rebecca Broxterman, was in the back seat.
“The driver is out of the car,” the caller said.
“They’re trying to get the passengers out,” he added, stressing they were “both awake” and calling out to check they had no serious injuries.
The caller repeatedly tried to comfort Black and Broxterman.
“Help’s coming, guys, don’t worry. The ambulance is on the way,” he shouted out to them.
Officials have said alcohol was not a factor in the crash. The accident remains under investigation by police.

Smollett lawyers say he shouldn’t pay city because he didn’t know the costs
The lawyers for former Empire actor Jussie Smollett have filed a motion arguing that he shouldn’t have to pay the city for the police investigation because he didn’t know how much time and money the department would devote to his report.
His lawyers filed the motion this week, which maintains Smollett’s innocence in staging the hate crime against himself as the police department has alleged, according to the Associated Press.
The Chicago Police Department decided to sue Smollett for $130,000 over his refusal to reimburse the city for the overtime payments made to officers who were investigating the alleged hate crime.
The police department devoted 1,836 hours of police overtime and “untold hours of non-overtime police work” following Smollett’s report.
The motion claims that the “filing of a police report, in and of itself, does not necessitate a sprawling investigation nor does it, as a practical matter, usually result in an investigation as extensive as the one the CPD chose to undertake in this case.” Smollett’s lawyers also point out that a police report only enables “the police and prosecutors to decide whether and how to investigate.”
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said, “Whether it’s Chicago or any other U.S. city, when he reported a vicious hate crime it was going to be investigated at the highest level of vigor and detail.”
The motion is the most recent development in the Smollett saga that began back in January. After contending that Smollett staged the attack to further his career, the Chicago Police Department filed criminal charges against the actor. The Cook County State’s Attorney’s office decided to dismiss those charges back in March, while a special prosecutor was appointed last month.

R. Kelly’s daughter says she doesn’t have a relationship with him
“People (want) to work with me to spite him or people (don’t want) to work with me just because of who he is,” Buku Abi said of pursuing her own music career.
NEW YORK — For a long time, Buku Abi ran away from pursuing music.
Although she is the daughter of one of pop music’s most popular and successful singer-songwriters, her father is also among the most infamous: He is R. Kelly, currently in jail, facing multiple charges of sexual abuse and sex trafficking.
“I think you get to see a different side of it than somebody who sees it from the outside and gets to see the glitz and glam. I got to see the hell part of it,” said 21-year-old Abi, born Joann Kelly, in a recent interview with The Associated Press. “I didn’t want to be in the industry.”
Even before she was born, her father was under scrutiny for his interactions with young women: He had secretly married his then-protege, Aaliyah, when the late R&B sensation was just 15 in 1994. But by the time Abi was a child, while Kelly was still a multiplatinum star raking up hit after hit, he was also on trial, accused of child pornography (he would eventually be acquitted in 2008).
Abi said going to public school for the first time as an early teen was challenging — there she heard stories about her father that she had not heard before.
“At home it’s normal, you’re living a life with your parents; your dad and mom aren’t going to go into all the bad things that might be going on outside of home,” she said, “but kids in school don’t necessarily care. Fifth and sixth grade is when I started learning the sore part of it, the not so good part. I think that was the hardest part for me because for so long I went with this image of who my dad (was) and what my family (was).”
Things were so bad in school, she even contemplated suicide. But though school is where her life almost ended, it’s also where she felt it truly began: She recalls singing onstage in high school during a performance, which she said “literally felt like drugs.”
“I needed more of this,” she added. “Clearly I can’t keep running from this anymore. Ever since then, I’ve been in it and it’s literally saved my life.”
Entering the music business comes with a different challenge for Abi: She can’t escape the fact that R. Kelly is her father. She is no longer in touch with him and says being his daughter is like “a double-edged sword.”
“I definitely run across challenges — people wanting to work with me to spite him or people not wanting to work with me just because of who he is,” she said. “I’ve definitely come across turmoil … being judged for really no reason at all, just based off associations. I’ve been pushing through it. Me making the art, it saved my life so there’s nothing really that would be able to stop me.”
Abi decided not to use the name her parents gave her in her career. She settled on the stage name Buku Abi about three years ago after first going by the name Ariirayé. In the last five years she’s been hard at work on her debut EP, “Don’t Call Me,” released this March. Her sister Jaah Kelly produced the album, which echoes SZA and other millennial artists in the alternative R&B world.
When it comes to making music, she doesn’t deny that’s where she and her father connect: “There’s a lot about him as an artist that inspires me.”
“He has made mistakes in his life and other things that he’s dealing with, but when it comes to that, I can’t take that away from him,” she said. “That’s the one thing that will always keep us connected.”
Abi once thought she and her father would mend things. Under her former stage name Ariirayé, she collaborated with him on the song “Wanna Be There,” a plea to restore their broken relationship. It appears on his 2015 album, “The Buffet.”
“When you conquer the world I just wanna be there/But no matter how successful baby girl/When you need someone to lean on I just wanna be your shoulder,” R. Kelly sings to Abi on the song.
“At that time I was in a place where I was genuinely trying to have a relationship with my father,” she said. “But it was so complicated at that time, as it always is. It was a great experience, I’m glad that I did it, but it just wasn’t like what everybody assumed, and that’s the part that sucks. It wasn’t this big kumbaya moment.”
R. Kelly is currently in a Chicago jail. He pleaded not guilty in federal court to charges that he sexually abused women and girls who attended his concerts there. He has been accused of using his fame to recruit young women and girls into illegal sexual activity, and has also been charged in Chicago and Minnesota for separate incidents. While he had been dogged by allegations that he abused women for years (a charge he denies), scrutiny from January’s highly rated Lifetime documentary “Surviving R. Kelly,” which detailed multiple allegations against him, led to new investigations and new charges (among his legal troubles is also a backlog in child support for his children, including Abi).
Abi said she tries not to pay attention to the daily updates about her father: “I don’t let that be a part of my every day (life).”
“(We) don’t have a relationship, so it’s not like me to check in on him,” she said. “I don’t personally go look it all up and read. I keep myself out of it.”
Abi currently lives in Atlanta and appeared on the WEtv reality series “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” alongside her mother and R. Kelly’s ex-wife, choreographer Drea Kelly.
“Just watching my baby grow into this young woman and be unapologetic about who she is and what she stands for and what she believes, really just being her own artist and owning her artistry and not coming out trying to be or ride the tail of being R. Kelly’s daughter — she’s really going at this alone and that’s what brings her pride,” Drea Kelly said. “I’m elated.”
But Drea Kelly, who was featured in “Surviving R. Kelly” and has accused her former husband of domestic abuse, has also been disheartened by what she sees as the public blaming Abi for Kelly’s alleged misdeeds.
“If your mom has an addiction, should everybody judge you off your mom’s addiction? … Everyone would say no, but then why is it OK for people to do it to my children simply because of who he is?” said Kelly, who has three children with the singer. “I’ve taught Buku, I’ve taught all my children … you don’t wait for the world to give you a shot, you go out there and take your shot.”
Abi says the foul words she heard in school that almost caused her to end her life has prepared her for what’s to come: “Growing up has given me an armor, almost.”
“I just want people to know that, at the end of the day, the stereotypes that you may have for other people, whether it be about race, sexuality, their financial status, don’t judge a book by its cover because nine times out of 10 you’re completely wrong,” she said. “I want to be an example of that.”

Actor Cuba Gooding Jr.’s sex abuse trial has been delayed
Cuba Gooding Jr.’s sex abuse trial, expected to start on Tuesday in New York City, has been pushed back to October 10.
Gooding’s defense team had been ready for trial, but prosecutors with the Manhattan District Attorney’s Officeargued for a later start, Gooding’s lawyer, Mark Heller, said. The parties had failed to come to an agreement before Tuesday’s hearing on the trial date.
Gooding is charged with forcible touching and sex abuse in the third degree related to an alleged groping incident in June. Both charges are misdemeanors. A 29-year-old woman filed a police report claiming Gooding grabbed her breast at Magic Hour Rooftop Bar & Lounge in Manhattan. Gooding has denied the claim and pleaded not guilty.
The actor voluntarily surrendered to New York police for questioning in June and was released on his own recognizance. The woman told police she was with friends when she was confronted by a male patron whom she described as Gooding, a law enforcement source told CNN.
“The male allegedly groped her breasts,” the source said. “The victim later told cops she protested at the unwanted touching and they argued about the encounter.” The woman left the bar and called 911 to report the alleged incident, the law enforcement source said, and NYPD Manhattan Special Victims Squad investigated.
Gooding’s attorney has said video footage taken at the bar that night will clear his client. “There is not a scintilla of criminal culpability that can be attributed to Mr. Cuba Gooding Jr. after I have extensively, with my staff, reviewed the video of almost two hours which reflects the entire event,” Heller told reporters in June. “I am totally confident that when a jury of Cuba Gooding Jr.’s peers assess all of the exculpatory evidence in this case, that he will be totally exonerated,” Heller added last month.

Victim of Sexual Assault By Brock Turner Is Ready for People to Know Her Name
Chanel Miller has revealed herself as the victim of Stanford swimmer Brock Turner. “In newspapers, my name was ‘unconscious, intoxicated woman.’ Ten syllables and nothing more than that,” she told “60 Minutes” in an episode airing Sunday, Sept. 22. Until now, Miller was known only as “Emily Doe,” keeping her name private as a sexual assault victim. Turner was found guilty of sexual assault in 2016, but a judge sentenced him to just six months in jail, of which he only served three months.

US woman arrested with baby hidden in bag at Philippines airport
MANILA, Philippines – An American woman who attempted to carry a 6-day-old baby out of the Philippines hidden inside a sling bag has been arrested at Manila’s airport and charged with human trafficking, officials said Thursday.
They said Jennifer Erin Talbot was able to pass through the airport immigration counter on Wednesday without declaring the baby boy but was intercepted at the boarding gate by airline personnel.
Talbot, from Ohio, was unable to produce any passport, boarding pass or government permits for the baby, airport officials said.
Clad in an orange detainee shirt and in handcuffs, Talbot, 43, was presented to reporters in Manila on Thursday. She kept her head low and appeared at times to be on the verge of tears. She did not issue any statement.

“There was really an intention to hide the baby,” immigration official Grifton Medina said by telephone.
After discovering the baby, airline staff called immigration personnel, who arrested Talbot at the airport. She was later turned over to the National Bureau of Investigation and the baby was given to government welfare personnel.
The investigation bureau said Talbot presented an affidavit at the airport, allegedly from the baby’s mother, giving consent for the baby to travel to the U.S., but it had not been signed by the mother.
