This is every parent's nightmare. A 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL missed her school bus, and deputies say a 42-year-old man saw an opportunity to prey on her.

Cherokee County investigators say Raymond Sookram approached the girl while she was walking, offered her a ride and convinced her to get into his truck.

Instead of taking her where she needed to go, she told investigators he drove her to another location, s*xually assaulted her and eventually dropped her near her school.

Absolutely sickening.

But THIS is where some very good police work comes in. The girl gave investigators a description, and the sheriff's office used automated license-plate readers to hunt for the truck. Detectives identified Sookram, executed a search warrant and arrested him.

He is now being held WITHOUT BOND on charges including aggravated child molestation and trafficking a person for s*xual servitude.

Give these investigators credit for finding him FAST - and the court for holding him without bond.

The Houston Fire Department is asking the Houston community to come together and keep one of its newest firefighters and his family in their thoughts and prayers.🙏🏻

Probationary Firefighter Carleon Jones remains hospitalized in critical condition following an off-duty medical emergency Wednesday evening.

Jones is a recent graduate of the Houston Fire Department Training Academy, graduating on July 23 as a member of Cadet Class 2026 Bravo. He is currently assigned to Fire Station 20, A Shift.

Houston Fire Chief Thomas Muñoz says Jones may be one of the department's newest members, but he is already considered family.

“Carleon is one of our newest firefighters, but he is already part of the HFD family, and right now that family is surrounding him and everyone who loves him.”

Chief Muñoz added that the department will continue standing beside Jones and his loved ones during this difficult time.

FIFTEEN NEW YORK SHERIFFS sued the state over its ICE crackdown on Tuesday (LET'S GO!). But just two days later, Kathy Hochul and Letitia James sued one of those sheriffs for refusing to back down.

The sheriffs are challenging New York's new law prohibiting local agencies from maintaining 287(g) agreements, which allow specially trained local officers to perform certain federal immigration-enforcement duties.

Rensselaer County Sheriff Kyle Bourgault called the law “REALLY dangerous” and said it is “crazy” that sheriffs are being prevented from working this closely with federal law enforcement.

So the sheriffs went to court, as they should, and New York responded FAST.

On Thursday, Hochul and James sued Bourgault because he refused to terminate his county's ICE agreement.

Think about where this has gone.

Fifteen elected sheriffs are suing state leaders for restricting their cooperation with ICE, and state leaders responded two days later by suing one of those sheriffs for refusing to comply.

They aren't arguing anymore. They're officially at war in court.

What an incredible waste of resources just to STOP local sheriffs who WANT to help federal immigration officers enforce the law. The Sheriffs should never have had to SUE just to do their jobs.

It is with profound sadness that the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office informs our community of the loss of Correctional Officer Ryan Marietti.

In the early morning hours of August 28, 2026, Ryan was involved in a solo-vehicle accident on Highway 50 near Strawberry, CA. This tragic accident took the life of a member of our Sheriff’s Office family and a valued member of our community.

Ryan began his career with the Sheriff’s Office in December of 2024, serving at both the Placerville and South Lake Tahoe Jails. Among his many attributes, Ryan demonstrated a strong work ethic, professionalism, and a genuine desire to grow within the Sheriff’s Office. He had set his sights on advancing through the ranks and building a career in service to our community.

Prior to his employment with the Sheriff’s Office, Ryan was a member of the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office Explorer Post 457, where he excelled and proudly represented the Post as a member of its competition team. Ryan was also an alumnus of Ponderosa High School, graduating in 2023.

Rest Easy Brother. Prayers for his family of blue and blood.🙏🏻

Karen Bass became the first Los Angeles mayor to serve on the influential governing board for the region’s lead homelessness agency when she appointed herself to it three years ago. Since joining, the mayor has skipped more than half of the meetings held by the L.A. Homeless Services Authority Commission, according to an LAist review of attendance records.

Sebastian Gorka: Whether it's the tariffs, whether it's the 168 jihadis killed in 18 months, or whether it's the 110 hostages liberated in 18 months — President Trump is the very exemplar of leadership.

We inherited a massive DNA processing backlog that kept critical information out of the system law enforcement uses to help solve homicides, sexual assaults, mass shootings, and other violent crimes.

Under President Trump’s leadership, we made the changes necessary for this FBI to deliver.

🔻 1.81 MILLION sample backlog → ZERO
🔻 Technology upgraded
🔻 Resources moved where they were needed
🔻 Processing dramatically accelerated
🔻 DNA now being put to work helping solve violent crimes across America

Huge credit to the men and women of our FBI Laboratory, CJIS, and everyone who put in the work to deliver for the American people.

MAIN STREET RIVER 🌊 Heavy rain sent floodwater rushing through Orangeville in Emery County, turning Main Street into what looked more like a river.

Tyler Kay captured this video as muddy water moved through the community, which sits along Cottonwood Creek near the edge of the Manti-La Sal National Forest.

Another round of summer storms bringing a lot of water to parts of Utah.

Incredible scenes from behind the fire line as firefighters continue the hard work of building containment, protecting homes and communities, and suppressing hot spots on the Ross Fire in Palo Pinto County, Texas.

For days now, strike teams and crews from fire departments across North Texas have worked alongside local firefighters to battle this fire from the ground and the air. These crews are putting in long hours, working through challenging conditions, and doing what they do best.🔥

As of Saturday evening, the fire has reached approximately 90,000 acres and is 31% contained. There is still a long road ahead.

Please continue to pray for the firefighters on the ground and in the air, the departments supporting the response, and every family and community impacted by the fire. 🙏🏻

HERO ALERT: But sadly, this news story ends in tragedy. THIS is the kind of courage that deserves to be remembered. Twelve-year-old Charlotte Ghekiere d*ed trying to save her family, and now she is being honored for what she did in her final moments.

Charlotte was inside the Billings, Montana, home when authorities say a relative opened fire on the family. Her father says police confirmed that SHE was the one who called 911 while the massacre was unfolding, trying to get help for everyone inside.

She was 12 YEARS OLD.

Now the Youth Peace & Justice Foundation is posthumously giving Charlotte its National Heroism Award. The group also plans to establish a living memorial tree in Montana in her honor.

Charlotte was supposed to be starting seventh grade. Her family described her as funny, caring, strong-willed and having a heart of gold.

She deserved a lifetime ahead of her. Instead, her final act was trying to save the people she loved.

Please join us in praying for her family.

The results of criminals stealing telecommunication copper wiring is often, internet outages, no cell phone service, no hard line phone service, no way to process payments to buy food at the store if their point of sale system doesn’t have internet. Kids can’t do their homework on their computer. The whole community suffers so selfish individuals can benefit monetarily. 📷heavy_metal_task_force

CHP Air located a reported stolen Tesla, and with assistance from CHP Baldwin Park and CHP East LA, officers initiated an enforcement stop. The driver fled, resulting in a pursuit. Fullerton air support safely tracked the vehicle and directed ground officers to the parked Tesla. Officers secured the vehicle and arrested the driver. No injuries or additional incidents were reported.

PSA 🚨🚨:
Yield to emergency vehicles, avoid interfering with pursuits, slow down near police activity, maintain a safe distance, and follow officers’ directions.
