BELLEVILLE, Michigan -- Dashcam footage shows a Michigan State Police trooper pulling an unconscious driver out of a burning pickup truck on eastbound I-94 Tuesday morning. Officers were dispatched to the area of I-94 and Haggerty Road near Belleville in Wayne County at around 6:15 a.m. for a car and attached boat engulfed in flames. Troopers found the driver, a 63-year-old male, slumped over the steering wheel unconscious. An officer attempted to break the passenger side window using his baton, having to then use his hands to push the window in due to tints on the front windows, sustaining cuts to his arms and hands. The officer then pulled the unconscious driver from the truck and took him to the grassy median. Medics arrived at the scene and treated the man for low blood sugar and the trooper for the cuts along his arms.

Officers were notified of a white male at the front entrance of the Springfield Police Headquarters at 321 East Chestnut Expressway, causing a disturbance and urinating on the front door. After the man was asked to leave, he then got into a white SUV, drove away, then circled back through the parking lot, heading toward the front entrance. He then accelerated directly toward Officer Mark Priebe, who was standing in front of the building. Priebe attempted to get out of the way, but the driver intentionally struck the officer, trapping him under the vehicle. A second officer yelled at the driver to stop and get out of the vehicle, the officer fired shots striking the suspect and stopping the vehicle. Both Priebe, a 21-year veteran of the Springfield Police Department, and the suspect, identified as 28-year-old Jon Tyler Franklin Routh, were transported to a local hospital.

⚠️ #WANTED! The #FBI and Boston authorities are on the hunt Wednesday for two men seen posing in front of a burned-out police vehicle. The unidentified men, the FBI’s Boston Division says, “may have information relevant to the ongoing investigation into the vandalism and arson of a Boston Police Department cruiser” on May 31. That night, “two Boston police officers responded to a call for assistance and parked their vehicle in the area of the Beantown Pub near Suffolk University,” according to the FBI. “Shortly thereafter, several individuals vandalized the cruiser, breaking its windows, and eventually setting it on fire,” it added. Investigators described both men as being around 6 feet tall with medium builds. One of them was last seen wearing a white hoodie and red bandana, while the other was wearing a black T-shirt and shorts.
Travel restrictions currently in place during the coronavirus pandemic have forced a collapse in the price of one of the building blocks of cocaine, a report says, with the coca leaf plunging as much as 73 percent in value in some parts of South America. The worldwide lockdowns – which have resulted in a steep drop in domestic and international travel – are now leaving drug cartels scrambling to find ways to move around their product. “The [coca] economy has collapsed,” Rubén Leiva, a Peruvian farmer who grows the plant for traditional indigenous uses – told the newspaper. “We plant coca because it is a solution for our survival. But now, no one is buying it.” “In short, the cartels are taking a beating,” Michael S. Vigil, former chief of international operations for the Drug Enforcement Administration. Meanwhile, the street price of cocaine is rising in prominent American cities like Miami, New York, and San Francisco, as DEA offices across the U.S. are seeing supplies of illicit drugs starting to run low.
Boston police launched an investigation Wednesday after the city’s Christopher Columbus statue was beheaded overnight. Images taken at Christopher Columbus Park this morning show the head of the monument lying on the ground next to its base, surrounded by crime scene tape. The toppling comes just hours after protesters in Richmond, Va., pulled down a Columbus statue there, set it on fire and then threw it into a lake.In that incident -- which reportedly was preceded by a peaceful protest for indigenous people -- the statue’s base was also spray painted and someone left a cardboard sign on top of it that read “Columbus represents genocide.” The beheading of the Columbus statue in Boston is not the first time it has been vandalized.
