Fugitive arrested after posting video taunting police on social media to ‘locate him’<\/h3>\n

A Tennessee man wanted on a warrant was arrested after police said he posted pictures on social media, challenging them to “come find him.”<\/p>\n

The Shelby County Sheriff\u2019s Office says Devon Bart, 25, was found and arrested on Friday after sharing pictures on his page on a popular social media site, taunting deputies.<\/p>\n

Along with the pictures, which have since been removed from the social media site, deputies said that Bart claimed “that if he was going to jail, the authorities would have to find him first.”<\/p>\n

“We take all warrants and the law very seriously at the Sheriff\u2019s Office,” said Chief Deputy Anthony Buckner said in a post on the department’s Facebook page.<\/p>\n

“Evading Deputies is not a game \u2014 ignoring the law has serious consequences,” he continued.<\/p>\n

Deputies located Bart and arrested him without incident and booked him into the Shelby County Jail.<\/p>\n

Bart’s warrant was in connection with a domestic-related assault, according to the sheriff’s office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

State police arrest one of their own for stealing from National Guard<\/h3>\n

New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau agents arrested an NMSP officer Tuesday for the theft of three night vision goggles from the New Mexico National Guard.<\/p>\n

The agents had begun an investigation into the theft from 249 North Armory Road in Las Cruces back on March 13. They soon learned that Santiago Pacheco, an NMSP officer and sergeant in the National Guard, and one other soldier were present during an inventory.<\/p>\n

Pacheco was arrested and charged with larceny, a third-degree felony, and conspiracy to commit larceny, a fourth-degree felony. Pacheco was booked into the Dona Ana County Detention Center and placed on administrative leave with NMSP.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am extremely upset by the arrest of one of our officers,\u201d said New Mexico State Police Chief Troy Weisler in a press release. \u201cAs members of the New Mexico State Police, we are held to the highest standards. Those who cannot meet those standards, do not belong in this agency. His actions are unacceptable and do not reflect the integrity, dedication, and honor exhibited every single day by the men and women of this agency. We remain committed to being a department that holds our officers to the highest accountability standards\u2014even if it means arresting one of our own.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Glamorous drug mule caught trying to smuggle 35kg of cannabis into UK wants to visit SCHOOLS so she can urge kids to stay away from life of crime<\/h3>\n

A glamorous drug mule spared jail after being caught attempting to smuggle over 35kg of cannabis into the UK hopes to visit schools so she can urge children not to make the same mistake she did.<\/p>\n

Shamed ex-nurse Levi-April Whalley, now 31, and close friend Sophie Bannister, 30, have admitted making a ‘stupid’ decision – but blamed their downfall on being ‘groomed’ by international criminals.<\/p>\n

Since unsuccessfully trying to bring the drugs \u2013 worth around \u00a3160,000 \u2013 hidden inside two suitcases on a flight from New York to Birmingham in December 2023, Whalley has given birth to a baby, a daughter now aged five months.<\/p>\n

After both were given suspended prison sentences, she said becoming a mother had made her realise why drug smuggling has to carry such heavy penalties \u2013 a maximum of 14 years’ imprisonment in the case of cannabis.<\/p>\n

The pair \u2013 both originally from Blackburn, Lancashire – have nearly 60,000 followers on Instagram, and until their arrest regularly posted about enjoying beach holidays around the world.<\/p>\n

They claim that a woman Bannister had met in Marbella offered them a free holiday in New York in return for bringing back what they thought were watches and jewellery.<\/p>\n

The pair were among 134 suspects arrested for smuggling a total of 5,609kg of cannabis into UK airports in 2023.<\/p>\n

Last year a staggering 26,924kg was seized from around 750 smugglers flying into UK airports \u2013 a five-fold increase on the year before.<\/p>\n

Saying she now bitterly regrets accepting the offer, Whalley said: ‘I’d love to be able to speak to people now and go in schools and try to change and people.<\/p>\n

‘I’d really like to open people’s eyes up and say always think twice about every opportunity that’s offered to you, because it’s not always the route that you should go down.<\/p>\n

‘You’ve got to think about the whole of the consequences, not just one angle of things.<\/p>\n

‘You’ve not got to just go in and think “Oh yeah, it’s a free holiday, let’s go and do this”.’<\/p>\n

Whalley \u2013 who faces being struck off the nursing register and has retrained offering beauty treatments \u2013 said her baby daughter was her ‘biggest blessing’.<\/p>\n

‘I didn’t realize how much children do change you,’ she added.<\/p>\n

‘I want the best for my daughter.’<\/p>\n

Asked if that had brought it home to her why drug smuggling can carry such strong punishments, she said: ‘Yes of course it does.’<\/p>\n

Saying she wanted to share her message of the perils of being ‘grooming’ into becoming a drugs mule, Whalley said: ‘It worries me for my own daughter, exploitation.<\/p>\n

‘I wouldn’t want her to be exploited. I want her to choose the right actions in the future.<\/p>\n

‘It’s always “Do you want to go on holiday?!<\/p>\n

‘Don’t be sucked into this type of false reality. We just got sucked into it.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
