Details emerge about how 2 men may have escaped Philadelphia prison

PHILADELPHIA - Two Philadelphia prisoners were able to leave their holding cells and walk through an unmanned housing unit before escaping to freedom through a hole in a perimeter fence, according to a new report obtained Tuesday by FOX 29.Ameen Hurst, 18, and Nasir Grant, 28, sprung themselves free from the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center around 8:30 Sunday night, investigators said. Prisons Commissioner Blanche Carney told reporters the duo missed three headcounts before prison guards realized they were missing Monday afternoon."That’s part of our investigation, to see what happened, what was followed, what wasn’t followed," said Commissioner Carney who told reporters investigators are "combing through the timeline" of events that lead to Hurst and Grant's escape. The hole that Hurst and Grant used to escape was cut with an unknown tool, according to Commissioner Carney, and the fence that was compromised was not equipped with an alarm that would have notified prison guards about a possible escape.Ameen Hurst (left), Nasir Grant (right) Authorities are particularly urgent to get Hurst back into custody due to his violent past.

And what have schools and conferences been doing to safeguard competition since legal sports betting has become widespread in the United States?Alabama lost 8-6 at top-ranked LSU on April 28 in a game in which the Crimson Tide's top starting pitcher was a late scratch with an injury.A Louisiana gambling official who received a report from an sports integrity monitor said two bets were placed in Ohio at a sportsbook located in the Cincinnati Reds stadium, Great American Ball Park.Matthew Holt, the president of U.S.

Mistrial declared in case against former Philadelphia SWAT officer accused of pepper spraying protesters

PHILADELPHIA - A mistrial has been declared due to a hung jury in the case against Richard Nicoletti, a former Philadelphia SWAT officer who was captured on video pepper spraying protesters from close range during the 2020 George Floyd unrest. Nicoletti faced charges of possession of an instrument of crime, three counts of simple assault, reckless endangerment, and official oppression. The Philadelphia District Attorney's office says they plan to retry the case. A video of Nicoletti dressed in riot gear approaching three protesters kneeling on Interstate 676 on June 1, 2020, pulling down at least one protester's mask or goggles, then pepper-spraying them, was circulated widely on social media and was included in several news stories about the national police response to demonstrations.The Philadelphia District Attorney's Office alleged that Nicoletti assaulted the protesters nearly three years ago. His defense, meanwhile, claimed the disgraced officer was doing his job. Closing arguments were made Thursday, after which the jury began deliberations.

South Jersey little league team implementing new rule to curb wild behavior from unruly parents

DEPTFORD, N.J. - As youth sports gets more competitive, parents across the country are taking things too far, causing teams to put a stop to wild behavior from unruly parents in the stands. The Deptford Little League has introduced a new rule to keep parents in line. The organization's President, Don Bozzuffi, Vice President, Jim McDevitt, and a parent, Dewey Hatton, joined Good Day Philadelphia to discuss the behavior they are looking to stop. Hatton said he's heard the use of expletives from irate parents in the stands, which has then influenced some children to use foul language on the field. McDevitt, who also serves as an umpire during games, says he has had parents heckle him about calls he's made. Bozzuffi says that while 99% of parents serve as positive reinforcements to the young team members, 1% make it difficult for everyone, especially when violence is involved. RELATED COVERAGEIn an effort to create change, McDevitt says they called in younger umpires who may have a better appeal with the children's parents, but that move was not enough. "After about two and a half three weeks they went, ‘That’s it Don. I had enough.

North Korea says it tested new solid-fuel long-range missile for first time

SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea said Friday it flight-tested a solid-fuel intercontinental ballistic missile for the first time, a possible breakthrough in its efforts to acquire a more powerful, harder-to-detect weapon targeting the continental United States.North Korea’s official Korean Central News Agency issued the report a day after the country’s neighbors detected a launch of a long-range missile from near Pyongyang, which extended a run of weapons displays involving more than 100 missiles fired into the sea since the start of 2022.Thursday’s test did not appear to demonstrate the weapon’s full capacity, and it remains unclear how far North Korea has come in mastering technologies to ensure the warhead would withstand atmospheric reentry and accurately strike targets. Still, analysts said the test was likely a meaningful advance in North Korea’s goal to build a nuclear arsenal that could directly threaten the United States.Later Friday, the U.S.
