A local police chief is on leave after allegations that one of his officers failed to reveal that his own brother was a suspect in a murder he was investigating.

Channel 2′s Tom Jones spent the day in Griffin talking to residents about the controversy.
Police Chief Michael Yates was put on non-disciplinary administrative leave after the Georgia Bureau of Investigation was called in to investigate allegations that Sgt. D’Marquivius King concealed information that his brother was a suspect in a murder.

King was placed on administrative leave back in February because of the allegations. Months later, Yates is now on leave as well.
The city manager said that Yates going on leave does not reflect any specific concerns about him. Instead, the action is meant to minimize any possibility of misunderstandings surrounding the investigation.
Damon Beck is King’s brother. King is accused of failing to notify his chain of command or document that Beck was a suspect in the murder of Javareis Reid in May of 2021.
The then 22-year-old Beck was finally arrested eight months later and charged with murder and aggravated assault. He is one of three co-defendants in the case.
The GBI is still investigating Reid’s murder.

Jones talked to some neighbors, who said it was disturbing to learn someone who worked for the police department hid information about a murder.
“It’s really disappointing. You expect better,” a woman said.

Woman charged with faking her own abduction to hide fact that she dropped out of college, state police say​

Chloe Stein, 23, was found Tuesday night at a residence in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, and eventually confessed to authorities that she made up her disappearance, state police said.



Pennsylvania woman charged with faking her own kidnapping​

A 23-year-old Pennsylvania woman allegedly faked her own abduction earlier this week in a far-fetched effort to hide the fact that she dropped out of college and wasn't about to graduate, Pennsylvania State Police said.
Chloe Stein, 23, was arrested Tuesday evening and has been charged with four misdemeanors: false alarm to a public safety agency, falsely reporting an offense that did not occur, obstructing administration of law, and disorderly conduct, court records show.

Stein was last heard from Monday evening at 10:30 p.m. when she texted her boyfriend while driving home from work saying she was being pulled over by a police officer, state police said in a Monday evening news conference.
Her boyfriend tried to contact her again numerous times, but to no avail, police said.
State police later heard from her family who said they found her vehicle, a Volkswagen Beetle, abandoned on Radebaugh Road in the area of North Greengate Road.
It was at that time the family made a missing person declaration and an expansive search for Stein was launched.
State Police Trooper Steve Limani said in a news conference Tuesday evening that the department spent "tens of thousands" of dollars in the search which included flying a helicopter in the area.
But the case unravelled when a tip came in Tuesday night that Stein was actually at a home in Jeannette, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, Limani said. When officers arrived, they found her safe inside and she was taken in for questioning.
At the state police station, Stein told officers she was pulled over and abducted “by an unknown male who posed as a police officer,” the criminal complaint said. She said her abductor had a firearm, she was blindfolded and taken to various locations in the area, the complaint said.
But investigators were already suspicious of her account. Before they found her, they had received a call from Penn State University officials which said Stein was not a currently enrolled student, contrary to news reports that described her as a senior.
“During the course of that phone call we found out that she had not been attending college for quite some time — almost at the point where it’s over a year, maybe two — and graduation was right around the corner," Limani said.
"That really led us in the direction that at any point of time there was no police interaction, there was no pull over," he said. "None of that happened."


A representative from Penn State said Stein was last enrolled in the fall of 2018 at Penn State Fayette.
Police said they found inconsistencies with Stein's account and evidence obtained in the investigation. When Stein was confronted about them, she “admitted that she had fabricated all of the information pertaining to the incident,” the criminal complaint said.
Limani said that she appeared to launch the hoax because she wasn't actually attending college.
“The fact of not going to school apparently for so long and maybe disappointing people was the reasoning behind it,” he said.
He said that at no point was she in danger during the search and she "knew" the way she set up her last text message would "cause alarm."
Limani condemned her actions, particularly for the fear it instilled in the community who thought there was an abductor at large.
He said police are investigating whether other people were involved in her alleged hoax and said the home she was found in belonged to an acquaintance.
NBC News has reached out to an attorney for Stein for comment.
Stein will appear before Magisterial District Judge Joseph R. DeMarchis in Westmoreland County on May 25 for a preliminary hearing.
 

Man gets 14 years in 1/6 case, longest sentence imposed yet​

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Kentucky man with a long criminal record was sentenced Friday to a record-setting 14 years in prison for attacking police officers with pepper spray and a chair as he stormed the U.S. Capitol with his wife.
Peter Schwartz’s prison sentence is the longest so far among hundreds of Capitol riot cases. The judge who sentenced Schwartz also handed down the previous longest sentence — 10 years — to a retired New York Police Department officer who assaulted a police officer outside the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Prosecutors had recommended a prison sentence of 24 years and 6 months for Schwartz, a welder.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced Schwartz to 14 years and two months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release.
Mehta said Schwartz was a “soldier against democracy” who participated in “the kind of mayhem, chaos that had never been seen in the country's history.”
“You are not a political prisoner,” the judge told him. “You're not somebody who is standing up against injustice or fighting against an autocratic regime.”
Schwartz briefly addressed the judge before learning his sentence, saying, “I do sincerely regret the damage that Jan. 6 has caused to so many people and their lives.”
The judge said he didn't believe Schwartz's statement, noting his lack of remorse.
“You took it upon yourself to try and injure multiple police officers that day,” Mehta said.
Schwartz was armed with a wooden tire knocker when he and his then-wife, Shelly Stallings, joined other rioters in overwhelming a line of police officers on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace, where he threw a folding chair at officers.
“By throwing that chair, Schwartz directly contributed to the fall of the police line that enabled rioters to flood forward and take over the entire terrace,” prosecutor Jocelyn Bond wrote in a court filing.
Schwartz, 49, also armed himself with a police-issued “super soaker” canister of pepper spray and sprayed it at retreating officers. Advancing to a tunnel entrance, Schwartz coordinated with two other rioters, Markus Maly and Jeffrey Brown, to spray an orange liquid toward officers clashing with the mob.
“While the stream of liquid did not directly hit any officer, its effect was to heighten the danger to the officers in that tunnel,” Bond wrote.
Before leaving, Schwartz joined a “heave ho” push against police in the tunnel.
Stallings pleaded guilty last year to riot-related charges and was sentenced last month to two years of incarceration.
Schwartz was tried with co-defendants Maly and Brown. In December, a jury convicted all three of assault charges and other felony offenses.
Mehta sentenced Brown last Friday to four years and six months in prison. Maly is scheduled to be sentenced June 9.
Schwartz’s attorneys requested a prison sentence of four years and six months. They said his actions on Jan. 6 were motivated by a “misunderstanding” about the 2020 presidential election. Then-President Donald Trump and his allies spread baseless conspiracy theories that Democrats stole the election from the Republican incumbent.
“There remain many grifters out there who remain free to continue propagating the ‘great lie’ that Trump won the election, Donald Trump being among the most prominent. Mr. Schwartz is not one of these individuals; he knows he was wrong,” his defense lawyers wrote.
Prosecutors said Schwartz has bragged about his participation in the riot, shown no remorse and claimed that his prosecution was politically motivated. He referred to the Capitol attack as the “opening of a war” in a Facebook post a day after the riot.
“I was there and whether people will acknowledge it or not we are now at war,” Schwartz wrote.
Schwartz has raised over $71,000 from an online campaign entitled “Patriot Pete Political Prisoner in DC.” Prosecutors asked Mehta to order Schwartz to pay a fine equaling the amount raised by his campaign, arguing that he shouldn’t profit from participating in the riot.
Schwartz was on probation when he joined the Jan. 6 riot. His criminal record includes a “jaw-dropping” 38 prior convictions since 1991, “several of which involved assaulting or threatening officers or other authority figures,” Bond wrote.
Schwartz was working as a welder in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, before his arrest in February 2021, but he considers his home to be in Owensboro, Kentucky, according to his attorneys.
More than 100 police officers were injured during the riot. More than 1,000 people have been charged with federal crimes related to Jan. 6. Nearly 500 of them have been sentenced, with over half getting terms of imprisonment.
The 10-year prison sentence that Mehta handed down in September to retired NYPD officer Thomas Webster had remained the longest until Friday. Webster had used a metal flagpole to assault an officer and then tackled the same officer as the mob advanced toward the Capitol.

Kouri Richins' husband was found dead at the foot of their bed last March.
She'd just closed on a house for her business, she told investigators at the time. Around 9 p.m., she brought her husband, Eric Richins, a celebratory Moscow Mule cocktail in the bedroom of their home in Kamas, Utah.

She left to sleep with their son in his room and returned around 3 a.m. to find her husband lying on the floor cold to the touch, she told authorities. About a year to the day her husband died, Richins published a children's book, "Are You With Me?" about navigating grief after the loss of a loved one.
But investigators now allege she killed her husband of nine years with a lethal dose of illicit fentanyl. This month, they charged her with aggravated murder and three counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute.
Newly released court documents detailed a series of illicit fentanyl purchases in the months leading up to his death.
Kouri Richins, 33, allegedly bought the drugs from an acquaintance identified as C.L. in court documents. Weeks before her husband's death, the Richins had marked Valentine's Day with a dinner at home.
"Shortly after the dinner, Eric became very ill. ... Eric told a friend that he thought his wife was trying to poison him," court documents say.
Kouri Richins was arrested Monday and remains in custody. CNN has reached out to her attorneys for comment.

He had a lethal dose of fentanyl in his system​

An autopsy and toxicology report revealed that Eric Richins, 39, died of a fentanyl overdose. He had about five times the lethal dosage in his system, according to a medical examiner.
Investigators obtained a search warrant and seized his wife's phone and several computers in their home. They discovered communications between Kouri Richins and C.L., who had an extensive police record that included drug-related offenses, court documents say.
C.L. told detectives that at some point between December 2021 and February 2022, Kouri contacted C.L. and asked for prescription pain pills for an investor. C.L. said they obtained hydrocodone and left the pills at a property Kouri was flipping, picking up cash left for them, court documents say.
A couple of weeks later, Kouri Richins reached out again and asked for "some of the Michael Jackson stuff," according to court documents. Kouri Richins allegedly went to C.L.'s house around February 11 and paid $900 for "15-30 fentanyl pills" that C.L. had obtained from a dealer.
About two weeks later, on Feb. 26, she allegedly reached out to C.L. for more fentanyl pills. C.L. left them at an outdoor fire pit at the same property where the hydrocodone had been delivered. Again, the money was left there for pickup. By this time, according to court documents, Kouri Richins no longer owned the property.




 Partially-eaten ice cream leads investigators to man accused of killing woman

He died six days after alleged pill delivery​

About 3:30 a.m. on March 4, 2022, Summit County Sheriff's deputies and EMS personnel responded to a report of an unresponsive man at the couple's home.
First responders unsuccessfully tried to revive Eric Richins. It was six days after the latest alleged pill delivery.
His wife gave investigators her version of what happened that night. The couple was celebrating closing on a house for her business and she brought him a cocktail in bed. Kouri Richins said she left him in the room and went to sleep with one of her three sons in his room because the child was "having a night terror," court documents say.
"Defendant said she awoke around 03:00 hours and came back to her and Eric's bedroom. She felt Eric and he was cold to the touch. That is when defendant called 911," court documents say.
Kouri Richins allegedly told law enforcement officials that she left her phone plugged in next to her bed and did not take it to her son's room.
"However, between when the defendant said she went to child's room and when she called 911, the status on her phone shows that it was locked and unlocked multiple times and there was also movement recorded on the phone. In addition, tolls on defendant's phone show that messages were sent and received during that time. These messages were deleted," court documents say.
For months, Kouri Richins worked on her book. Last month, she appeared on "Good Things Utah," a show on local television station ABC4, to talk about the importance of her children's book on mourning.
She said it's based on three concepts: connection, continuity and care.
"Connection: Keep the person's spirit alive who has passed. ... Continuity: Try and keep routines and schedules as normal as possible. ... Care: Affirming their feelings; understanding when they are sad, mad, lonely and talking about those feelings and letting them know it's OK," Kouri Richins said in the interview.
Her three young sons helped her write the book to help them articulate their feelings, she said.
Weeks later, Kouri Richins was arrested in her husband's death.
Her detention hearing is set for May 19.
 
The shocking moment cops found RI council member Matthew R. Reilly passed out in car before crack arrest

​



A Republican city councilman from Rhode Island is facing calls to resign after police found him Monday passed out and seemingly “choking” in his car with a crack pipe in his hand.
Cranston City Council member Matthew R. Reilly was found sleeping in the vehicle just before noon, according to a police statement and bodycam footage of the incident.
Video shows Reilly, 41, being shaken awake by an officer who says: “You were literally choking in your sleep. Someone was flagging me down about it.”
“I have sleep apnea. I’m sorry,” Reilly says, to which the officer replies: “Well, you have a crack pipe in your hands.”
Reilly initially denied having drugs in his car, telling officers he smoked “earlier” and was heading to work at Family Court.
After police found crack cocaine in the vehicle’s center console, Reilly admitted to having relapsed after 13 years of sobriety, in part because of a “really bad divorce.”

Reilly was seen passed out in the bodycam footage.

The councilman admitted he had a problem and was getting help.
“If you’re getting help, what happened?” one of the officers asked.
In the video, police can be seen testing the crack found in Reilly’s vehicle, which contained fentanyl.

The driver’s seat of the car was coated in white residue, and officers in the video mentioned a burning smell.
“This is a terrible situation, we’re all in a tough spot, but we gotta do what we gotta do by the numbers. It’ll help you in the end, … and you’ll say to us a month from now, ‘Best thing that ever happened to me,’” one of the officers said to Reilly.
“I look at you, you’re not the Matt Reilly we know,” the officer added. “Your health and your well-being is worth more than your political career.”

Reilly has already stepped down as chairman of the Cranston Republican Party at the behest of Mayor Kenneth J. Hopkins, the Boston Globe reported.
Hopkins, who is also a Republican, said in a statement that he has known Reilly and his family his entire life, and urged the councilman to step down from his role.
“By relieving himself of his elective duties, Matt will have time to focus his attentions on his personal well-being. It will allow him to focus on his family, away from the important responsibilities and spotlight of public office,” the mayor said.

City Council President Jessica Marino, a Democrat, told the newspaper she also wanted Reilly to resign “for his sake, for that of his family and for the city as a whole.”

What do you think? Post a comment.
“Anyone that is going through the situation, my thoughts of his overall well-being as a human is first and foremost, and that of his family,” she said. “Politics should not be a priority in the situation that he’s currently facing.”
Reilly is charged with unlawful possession of crack cocaine/fentanyl, which is a misdemeanor. He was released ahead of his arriangment on June 15.

GOP Rep Complains Biden Isn’t Appointing Enough Straight White Guys as Judges

2022-06-08T182413Z_10328661_RC2UNU9R647Z_RTRMADP_3_USA-GUNS_rve14s

Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) cried oppression on the House floor Thursday when he complained to peers that Joe Biden isn’t appointing enough straight “white guys” to be judges. In the president’s first two years, he appointed 97 federal judges. “I was expecting maybe 25 or 30 were white guys,” Grothman said. “Five of the 97 judges were white guys. Of those, two were gay. So, almost impossible for a white guy who’s not gay, apparently, to get appointed here.” The federal judiciary is still, largely, white and male. As of 2022, 78 percent of Article III federal judges are white, while 70 percent are men, according to the American Bar Association. Only 4 percent of federal judges were black women. White House chief of staff Ron Klain said in January that addressing this inequity has been a “top priority” for the Biden administration. “When he talks about rights and liberties, he knows that in the end those rights and liberties are decided by federal judges, so the makeup of the federal judiciary is connected to everything else we do,” Klain told NPR.
