Clarksville, TN – Today, August 17th, around 1:30pm Justin Newberry, 23 was in a Nissan Altima driving westbound on I-24 when he had to apply his brakes to slow down for traffic. After he applied the brakes, a handgun known as “The Judge” slid out from under the seat.

When Newberry reached down to pick it up he grabbed it by the trigger at which time “The Judge” went off. The round, which was a 410 slug, went into right thigh, exited, and continued on until it hit him in the left leg just above the ankle. He was able to safely pull the car into the median area about mile marker 6 and call 911 for help.

He was transported by Lifeflight to Vanderbilt and is in stable condition. There were multiple forms of identification from different locations in the car so officers were not able to determine where he is from or where he was headed prior to be taken away by Lifeflight.

Additionally, officers on the scene found marijuana and drug paraphernalia inside of the vehicle. Charges are pending.

The photo is a picture of “The Judge” but it is not the actual handgun from the car.

The shots of Soya Keaveney outraged parents, who blasted mum Janis for fuelling the youngster's obsession with a modelling career.

But now that dream is on hold after Soya got pregnant by a 17-year-old boyfriend who is allowed by Janis to stay overnight at the family home. 

Jobless single mum Janis, 48, said she was delighted because the council will now have to give her a bigger house.

 

I'll be a model mum ... pregnant Soya Keaveney

 

 

 

Soya Keaveney ... modelling at 12

 

She added: "Our three-bedroom place was already overcrowded with her sisters Coco and Ritzy, her brother Tarot, Soya's boyfriend Jake and one of her sister's babies.

"Once the new baby comes the council will have to find us a place with four or five bedrooms.

"We've already started packing. Soya's very much against abortion and there was never any doubt she would keep her baby.

"I'm sure she'll make a wonderful mum and will teach her children discipline like I have."

Soya said: "It was a shock at first but now I'm really excited.

"I'm the first of my friends to have a baby - but I don't think I've grown up too fast." 

Janis gave full support to Soya's modelling dream, which involved strict diets and obsessive gym workouts even before she had hit her teens.

 

Family way ... Soya Keaveney with mum Janis

But the magazine pictures of Soya in lacy undies and a bikini caused uproar. One parent said: "I can't believe her mother would let her go on like this. Has she never heard of paedophiles?"

When Soya posted the snaps on Facebook she was deluged by lewd comments from perverts.

Ex-school secretary Janis, who is now on benefits, claims she is a strict but understanding mum.

Soya was going to discos in Thornaby, Cleveland, from the age of seven, wearing make-up, mini dresses and revealing tops.

Janis said: "Soya is still only a girl and very immature in some ways, but I've always 100 per cent trusted her when she goes out with her friends.

"When she was 12 or 13 she went with some pals to an under-18s disco and told me about a contest they had to see who could kiss the most boys. I didn't see any harm in it. After all, it was only kissing."

Janis admitted she had let mechanic Jake stay overnight.

But she insisted he and Soya, who was on the Pill, had separate bedrooms.

And she plans to continue to keep them apart even though Soya is 12 weeks pregnant.

She added: "I know people might think I'm laying down the law after the horse has bolted, but Soya won't be sharing a bed with Jake under my roof until she's turned 16 in January.

"I'm very strict about that. I know they're very much in love but the law is the law. 

"Soya's dream of being a model is taking a back seat. Now she wants to be a midwife."

 

IT is tragic that this baby will arrive with no responsible adult having any realistic idea about what it takes to raise a child.

Mum Soya is still only a child herself and has no idea of the demands of having a baby.

Dad Jake does have a job but clearly no ability to provide a home for his own child. Soya's mum Janis encouraged her to dress like a sex object but talks about being strict in not allowing her to sleep with her boyfriend.

It's a sad cycle repeating itself and we can only hope Soya gets some outside help.

Man Claims NBA Star Bryant Injured Him At Local Church

Lakers Star Was Attending Service At St. Therese of Carmel On Sunday

According to police, Bryant took the phone from Hagos, did not see any pictures on the phone and then left the church.

Hagos claims he injured his wrist in the incident and had to go to the hospital for treatment. In a police report he filed, Hagos said he suffered a sprained wrist.

Parishioner Marsha Murphy told 10News she attended the 11 a.m. mass at St. Therese of Carmel on Sunday. She said she saw Bryant standing in the back of the church while his wife sat in the pews.

Murphy said she did not see any physical encounter between Bryant and another parishioner.

"I saw people, you know, being giddy and kind of excited that he was there, mostly men who were like, 'Wow, it's Kobe Bryant,' but I didn't see any inappropriateness," said Murphy.

On Tuesday, 10News tried to speak to Hagos at his home, but he was not available.

Many people 10News spoke to said they were not sure if they believe the allegations, but most agreed people should not be taking pictures at church.

"Sometimes you can flare up, lose your temper. I've done it myself and maybe you snatch the phone from somebody, so I don't blame him [Bryant]," said Carmel Valley resident Nigel Mallett.

Parishioner Theodora Furtado said, "I think he has a right to his privacy, and if he doesn't want his pictures taken then we need to respect that as well."

"I feel bad for Kobe ... he seemed content, he seemed reverent, there was nothing unusual," said Murphy. "I didn't even see anybody trying to speak with him, even during the sign of the peace. I didn't see anybody try to make contact with him."

Murphy said after Bryant's wife got up to take communion, they calmly left the church together.

"They both dipped hands in baptismal font, crossed themselves and they both exited," said Murphy. "When I looked out, they were the only two people I saw in the parking lot."

Police said they are continuing their investigation into the man's claims, and one parishioner said police have interviewed church staff members about the incident.

John Black, spokesman for the Los Angeles Lakers, told 10News he could not comment on the incident because of the NBA player lockout.

On Tuesday evening, Bryant's lawyer, Mark Campbell, told TMZ his client is "aware of the baseless allegations asserted against him, and is prepared to defend against them fully."

Police said they want to talk to Hagos before they speak with Bryant, but investigators said Hagos is not making himself available for a week.

ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla.  — A High Springs couple accused of hoarding 692 cats have been arrested.

Pennie and Steven Lefkowitz, the owners of Haven Acres Cat Sanctuary, are each facing 35 counts of animal cruelty. They have bonded out of jail.

Alachua County Animal Services removed the cats from the sanctuary in High Springs in June in what is the biggest case of cat hoarding the Humane Society of the United States has ever participated in and is in the top three of the largest cat hoarding cases in U.S. history.

The cats were put in a warehouse that became a makeshift shelter. About 100 of them had to be put down.

The rest have been receiving treatment and are being spayed and neutered by University of Florida veterinary students. They will be put up for adoption in the coming weeks.

Alachua County Animal Services said the agency received calls from people who needed to get rid of their cats and left them at Haven Acres.

The agency said residents thought they were taking their cats to a "country club environment."

Mayor dumps gift-wrapped 20-tonne boulder on ex-wife’s lawn

 

A boulder topped with a pink ribbon and covered in a spray-painted message: "Happy birthday, Isa XX" sits in the driveway of Isabelle Prevost. The 20-tonne stone was left there as a gift by her ex-husband Dany Lariviere, mayor of a nearby municipality.

A small-town mayor is under police investigation after finally giving his wife a nice, big rock.

Make that his ex-wife. And the rock was a 20 tonne boulder, not a ring.

Dany Larivière, the mayor of Saint-Théodore-d’Acton, east of Montreal, told a French news station that he had dropped the boulder off on his ex-wife’s lawn early Sunday morning. The rock is spray-painted “Happy Birthday, Isa XX” and topped with a big pink bow.

“I had to do something so she’d leave me alone,” he toldTVAMonday morning. “That’s the biggest rock she’ll ever get in her life.”

Larivière was unavailable for comment Monday afternoon.

Quebec Police told theTorontoStarthey were still deciding whether criminal charges could be laid, after Larivière apparently refused to remove the boulder.

“It’s a gift. It’s hers now,” Larivière said. “I did it in the middle of the night. It was a surprise.”

He joked that his ex-wife, Isabelle Prévost, had always wanted a big rock, quipping that this one was between 18 and 24 “carat-tonnes.”

Prévost called police to file a complaint after discovering the delivery Sunday morning.

“The investigation is open,” said Sûreté du Québec spokesperson Sgt. Valérie Bolduc. She said police are considering laying charges of harassment or mischief, as well as possible highway-code violations.

The parents of Larivière’s ex-wife described the incident as “disgusting” and her mother toldThe Canadian Pressthat their daughter was too upset to grant an interview.

In his own interview with a local newspaper, Larivière boasted that police stopped him as he transported the boulder with a front-end loader. He owns a small excavation company in Saint-Théodore-d’Acton.

“They checked my papers, everything was in order, and they followed me and were there at the scene,” he toldLa Voix de L’Est.

Larivière said he spent a substantial amount of money during the divorce in order to share custody of their children and added Prévost has been harassing him.

The couple has been separated three years.
