"Controversy Surrounds Arrest of 13-Year-Old at Summerville Walmart"

The family of a 13-year-old boy arrested at a Walmart in Summerville plans to pursue civil and legal action after viewing police bodycam footage of the incident, which their attorney, Marvin Pendarvis, described as an unnecessary escalation. The boy, who was selling Palmetto Roses, is facing charges of assaulting a police officer, but the attorney claims the video does not clearly show the boy striking the officer. Pendarvis is calling for accountability and a full investigation into the arrest, expressing concerns about over-policing and the criminalization of young rose vendors.

Terry McDonough Vows Legal Action Against Neighbor Over Assault Allegation

Former Cardinals executive Terry McDonough denies assault allegations made by a neighbor, vowing civil and criminal action against the neighbor for trespass and destruction of private property. McDonough's attorney claims the neighbor maliciously used a tractor to destroy McDonough's land and attempted to cause physical harm to him. McDonough's ongoing arbitration claim against the Cardinals is unaffected by the new allegation, which his attorney believes is part of a smear campaign.

Charges Dropped for Iowa State Athletes in Sports Gambling Probe

Prosecutors in Story County, Iowa, have dropped charges against four current and former Iowa State Cyclone athletes after new court documents suggested that a DCI investigator may have exceeded the allowable use of geofence technology. The athletes were among several charged with gambling offenses, but their attorneys challenged the investigative techniques, leading to the discovery that the Iowa DCI had its geofence technology privileges revoked due to alleged misuse. This development prompted prosecutors to file a Motion to Dismiss, potentially opening the door for civil action by the athletes against the state.

Federal authorities won't pursue charges in Shanquella Robinson's death.

The U.S. Attorney's Office has announced that there is not enough evidence to prosecute anyone in the Shanquella Robinson case, and any legal action over her death will come from Mexican authorities. Shanquella Robinson, 26, was killed while on vacation in Cabo, Mexico, with a group of people at the end of October 2022. The people she traveled with said she died of alcohol poisoning, but an autopsy performed in Mexico revealed that it was a severe spinal cord injury and atlas luxation. The U.S. autopsy performed after Shanquella was embalmed showed she did not have a spinal cord injury, which directly contradicts the findings of Mexico's autopsy report.
