The Bryant Police Department, Arkansas, sadly announced the death of Officer Tanner Peck early Friday morning, 12/13.

Officer Peck joined the Bryant Police Department September 12th of 2022. On September 24th, just 12 days after joining our department, Officer Peck was involved in a serious car accident while working patrol. After a short stay in the hospital and a long recovery, he was able to put his gear back on, and go back to work doing what he most loved, being a Police Officer. It was Officer Peck's dedication and heart that got him through challenges of recovery so that he could once again do his part in keeping the citizens of Bryant safe.

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

A former OpenAI researcher known for whistleblowing the blockbuster artificial intelligence company facing a swell of lawsuits over its business model has died, authorities confirmed this week.

Suchir Balaji, 26, was found dead inside his Buchanan Street apartment on Nov. 26, San Francisco police and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said. Police had been called to the Lower Haight residence at about 1 p.m. that day, after receiving a call asking officers to check on his well-being, a police spokesperson said.

The medical examiner’s office determined the manner of death to be suicide and police officials this week said there is “currently, no evidence of foul play.”

Information he held was expected to play a key part in lawsuits against the San Francisco-based company.

Balaji’s death comes three months after he publicly accused OpenAI of violating U.S. copyright law while developing ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence program that has become a moneymaking sensation used by hundreds of millions of people across the world.

WE NEED YOUR HELP IDENTIFYING THESE INDIVIDUALS

On the night of November 30, a large group shut down an intersection, set a fire in the roadway, and used the space for cars to perform donuts around the flames. The situation escalated as participants harassed innocent drivers, blocked them from passing, and in some cases, climbed on and damaged vehicles.

This reckless and violent behavior poses a serious danger to our community and we are committed to holding those responsible accountable.

This happened at the intersection of South John Young Parkway and Central Florida Parkway.

In this video, we highlight the faces of 30 individuals involved in this takeover. If you recognize anyone, please contact Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS (8477). You can remain anonymous.
