A Chinese tourist died after tumbling into an active volcano in Indonesia while trying to get a photo of the crater\u2019s mouth.<\/p>\n
Huang Lihong, 31, was sightseeing with her husband in Banyuwangi at the Ijen Crater, known for its stunning \u201cblue fire,\u201d on Saturday when the tragic accident occurred, the Straits Times reported.<\/p>\n
The couple\u2019s tour guide said he warned them about keeping a safe distance from the volcano\u2019s opening, which Huang listened to at first.<\/p>\n
However, the woman began inching closer to the edge in order to capture \u201ca more beautiful backdrop,\u201d according to the South Asian news outlet.<\/p>\n
As she walked backward, Huang appeared to trip on her long clothing before plunging nearly 250 feet over the side of the cliff and into the crater.<\/p>\n
Local police confirmed the death on Sunday and classified it as an accident.<\/p>\n
It took more than two hours for Huang\u2019s body to be retrieved, with photos obtained by the Daily Mail showing rescuers lifting her lifeless remains out on a stretcher.<\/p>\n
The active volcano, one of more than 100 that exist across Indonesia, is a popular tourist destination as well as a mining site for yellow sulfur.<\/p>\n
While the crate is active and \u201cregularly\u201d expels gasses and flames, the site is open to the public and frequently has guided tours and hikes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2018Improperly handled\u2019 | Law enforcement officials question local police chief\u2019s handling of rape case against deputy<\/h3>\n
Two separate law enforcement officials are sounding the alarm when it comes to the Fordoche Police Chief and his ability to investigate. This follows a deputy\u2019s call for the chief\u2019s resignation after being wrongfully arrested and charged with first-degree rape.<\/p>\n
Chief Jaroed \u201cTait\u201d Slocum is accused of \u201cmultiple missteps\u201d in the rape and voyeurism case against Mason Troth, a deputy with the East Feliciana Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n
Troth\u2019s name and mugshot were plastered on the majority of news networks after he was labeled a rapist in December 2023. He was accused of first-degree rape of a woman he met on a website. The two had been talking for nearly three months before they decided to meet to have sex. However, days after the alleged consensual hookup, the woman reported that she had been raped by Troth.<\/p>\n
Chief Slocum was in charge of the investigation that led to Troth\u2019s arrest. However, a grand jury chose to drop the charges saying the evidence did not amount to a rape charge or video voyeurism.<\/p>\n
Now Slocum\u2019s investigative methods are being questioned by two high-ranking law enforcement officials and district attorney Tony Clayton.<\/p>\n
Captain Cedrick Epps, who investigated the case while at the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff\u2019s Office, wrote that he \u201cobserved multiple issues\u201d with how Chief Jaroed \u201cTait\u201d Slocum handled the investigation, according to a February 2024 letter to law enforcement officials obtained by UWK. The core issues were that Slocum allegedly:<\/p>\n
\n
- Mishandled evidence including a rape kit and a cell phone with key evidence on it.<\/li>\n
- Gave \u201cfalse information\u201d to the DA\u2019s office.<\/li>\n
- Did not take meaningful steps to investigate the alleged crime before arresting Troth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u201c(Slocum) had the evidence there, and he should have reviewed it,\u201d Clayton told UWK. \u201cUltimately, the actions of Sheriff Jeff Travis and Major Bill Cox, and because of what our investigation revealed, justice was served. Sometimes, the wheel of justice turns slowly, but in this case, justice was served because the deputy was cleared. This was a clear indication in my mind that the deputy should not have been charged with what he was charged.\u201d<\/p>\n
UWK asked Clayton if he had concerns when it comes to the Fordoche police chief.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny case that comes to me, I thoroughly review it to see if the charges are legitimate. I reviewed this case from the Fordoche police chief, and I didn\u2019t think the charges withstood constitutional muster,\u201d said Clayton. \u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that the deputy had to go through this, but we were able to catch it when it got to us, and corrective actions were put into place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Slocum did not answer any questions with much detail when contacted by UWK.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not commenting on anything in reference to this case,\u201d Slocum said on a call with UWK Wednesday.<\/p>\n
In light of these experiences, Troth has called for Chief Slocum\u2019s resignation. However, Chief Slocum declined to comment on that question as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1 killed, 13 hurt after driver rams truck into Tex. state agency, officials say<\/h3>\n
One person was killed and 13 others injured Friday after a man crashed a stolen 18-wheeler truck into a Department of Public Safety office in Brenham, Tex., one day after he was denied a commercial driver\u2019s license in the same building, officials said.<\/p>\n
The driver, identified by authorities as Clenard Parker, 42, was being pursued by police when he slammed the semitrailer into the exterior wall of the government building about 75 miles northwest of Houston, Sgt. Justin Ruiz with the Texas Department of Public Safety said during a news conference Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Parker, who was not hurt, was later taken into custody, he said. Public safety staff had told Parker on Thursday that \u201che was not eligible to renew his commercial driver\u2019s license,\u201d Ruiz said.
\nThe truck hit the building around 10:30 a.m., ramming the area where the driver\u2019s license office and waiting area are located, officials said. Fourteen people, including DPS workers and civilians, were inside.<\/p>\nSix people were airlifted or driven to hospitals and eight others had injuries treated at the scene, Ruiz said. One of those hurt in the crash died after being transported, he said. The victim\u2019s identity has not been released.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not immediately clear how many of the victims were civilians or DPS staffers.<\/p>\n
Texas state Sen. Lois Kolkhorst (R), whose hometown is Brenham, said the incident is a reminder of workplace dangers those in public service can face.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat office right there is something known to \u2026 everyone in Brenham,\u201d Kolkhorst said. \u201cWe\u2019ve taken our children to get their driver\u2019s license there. I\u2019ve gotten my driver\u2019s license there. It\u2019s a place of public service.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we\u2019ve seen today was an act of violence,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
The Texas Department of Public Safety is a sprawling state agency tasked with addressing a wide scope of issues, including threats to schools, mass attacks in public places, sex trafficking and security operations along the U.S.-Mexico border, according to its website. It also has offices across the state that issue driver\u2019s licenses.<\/p>\n
The day after he was denied a license renewal, Parker got into a semitrailer that had been reported stolen, fled police along the highway and ultimately took a \u201chard right turn\u201d into the DPS building, Ruiz said. He is facing multiple felony offenses, Ruiz added.<\/p>\n
The incident remains under investigation, which is being led by the Texas Rangers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will prosecute this person to the full extent of the law,\u201d Kolkhorst said. \u201cBecause this will not be tolerated.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New York D.A. Fails to Stop for Speeding Ticket, Swears at Police Officer: ‘I Understand the Law Better Than You’<\/h3>\n
A New York district attorney was caught speeding and subsequently failed to stop for authorities before having a heated interaction with the officer who attempted to pull her over.<\/p>\n
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley returned home on April 22 following the attempted traffic stop in Webster, N.Y., and then repeatedly refused to comply with the officer\u2019s commands when he arrived at her house, bodycam footage of the exchange showed.<\/p>\n
In the footage, which the Webster Police Department provided to local outlet WHAM-TV, she mentioned her position as district attorney several times, swore at the officer and called Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier on her cellphone, telling him: \u201cCan you please tell him [the officer at her home] to leave me alone?\u201d<\/p>\n
After arriving at her home and exiting her car, Doorley, who could be seen standing inside of her garage, told the officer, \u201cI\u2019m sorry. I\u2019m the D.A. I was going 55 coming from work.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pointing out the reason for the traffic stop, the officer, who was standing outside of the garage, told Doorley, \u201c55 in a 35,\u201d and she responded, \u201cI don\u2019t really care.\u201d<\/p>\n
The officer then asked her to \u201ccome over here,\u201d telling her, \u201cThis is on a traffic stop, ma\u2019am.\u201d<\/p>\n
Visibly irritated, Doorley refused to comply, instead telling the officer to call Chief Kohlmeier \u201cright now.\u201d<\/p>\n
“I\u2019m telling you why I stopped you. You didn\u2019t stop at all. Did you not hear my lights or sirens or anything?\u201d the officer asked, and Doorley claimed she did not.<\/p>\n
She then seemingly reached Chief Kohlmeier on her phone, asking him to tell the officer to \u201cleave me alone,” and continued to refuse the officer\u2019s requests to comply with procedure, including providing her identification.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the tense exchange, Doorley also called the officer an \u201ca——\u201d and told him, \u201cI understand the law better than you,\u201d and \u201cGet out of my f—— house.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later, after more officers arrived on the scene, she apologized for her behavior, telling them, \u201cI\u2019ve had a really bad day.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
