A Georgia judge denied bond Friday for the father and son charged with murder in the February slaying of Ahmaud Arbery. Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley said he’s concerned that Gregory McMichael and his adult son, Travis McMichael, took the law into their own hands and endangered neighbors when they pursued the 25-year-old Black man with guns and shot him in a residential street. Defense attorneys say the McMichaels had reason to suspect Arbery was a burglar and Travis McMichael was defending himself when he shot Arbery in the port city of Brunswick. An investigator testified previously that a third defendant, who took cellphone video of the shooting, heard Travis McMichael, 34, utter a racial slur after he blasted Arbery three times with a shotgun. They weren’t arrested until the cellphone video of the shooting leaked online and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation took over the case. Prosecutors say Arbery was merely out jogging.
A homeless man was arrested for arson after a small brush fire ignited Friday morning in Malibu just off the Pacific Coast Highway near Tuna Canyon Road, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. The fire broke out shortly after 5 a.m. and burned roughly an acre-and-a-half in the 18900 block of PCH. Fire authorities said the fire was moving uphill and with heavy fuel. Just before 8 a.m., the Lost Hills Sheriff's Station said the eastbound lanes of the PCH had reopened. About 45 minutes later, the remaining roadways in the area were reopened, according to the sheriff's department and the California Highway Patrol. The flames were confronted from the ground and the air, and after about an hour, the fire department reported that the fire's forward progress was stopped. No structures were damaged.
