Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:43:23 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A teenager accused of intentionally driving a stolen vehicle into a bicyclist in Las Vegas, killing him, told a police officer after his arrest that he expected he would be out of custody in 30 days because he was a juvenile.“It’s just ah … hit-and-run,” the teen said after the Aug. 14 crash, according to a police arrest report released Monday. “Slap on the wrist.”The admission was recorded on the officer’s body-worn camera, police said, after investigators located a stolen Hyundai allegedly used in the apparently intentional crash that killed bicyclist Andreas “Andy” Probst.Probst, 64, was a retired police chief from the Los Angeles-area city of Bell. The vehicle had “major front-end damage and a broken windshield … consistent with an automobile versus pedestrian collision,” the police report said, and “fresh blood on the windshield.” The car was found abandoned with the engine running on a busy thoroughfare in northwest Las Vegas.Poli...

Bengals’ Burrow had to change his game because of calf injury. Titans D presents another challenge

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:43:23 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow still wasn’t fully healthy when he took the field for Monday night’s win over the Rams. He said as much after the game.“Don’t have any setbacks — basically, that was the criteria for me,” the Bengals Pro Bowl quarterback said.Still trying to manage a persistent calf injury, Burrow had to adapt. He didn’t scramble or move in the pocket much. Short, quick passes mostly kept him out of the crosshairs of Aaron Donald and the Rams pass rush. Throws he usually makes were off target.“I was pretty cautious,” Burrow acknowledged. “I was quick to throw the ball away, but we were able to get the job done.”The Bengals were faced with the question of whether Burrow being slowed by a leg injury is still better than any of the other healthy quarterbacks on the roster. Coach Zac Taylor put his faith in Burrow, who got an assist from the Cincinnati defense, which was magnificent on a night it was needed most.Burrow was good enough to beat the Rams 19-16...

NICE, France (AP) — Tonga No. 8 Vaea Fifita was suspended for their last two Rugby World Cup pool games against South Africa and Romania on Tuesday for his red card.Fifita shoulder-charged the head of Scotland’s Finn Russell in a ruck near the end of a pool match that Scotland won 45-17 on Sunday in Nice.Fifita was yellow-carded at the time and it was upgraded to red after the match by a bunker review. At his judicial hearing on Tuesday, the former All Black admitted to foul play but challenged the red card.The panel said it was always illegal and there was no mitigation. The charge was reckless with a high degree of danger, the panel added.It started the sanction at six matches and removed two for Fifita’s remorse and disciplinary record.His four-game ban included the Pool B games against South Africa on Sunday and Romania on Oct. 8, and two club games for Scarlets.___AP Rugby World Cup: https://apnews.com/hub/rugbySource

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Kim Mulkey, the coach of defending national champion LSU, is publicizing that she had two stents put in a major artery this summer as she tries to promote screening for life-threatening arterial blockages.Mulkey, 61, was not having obvious symptoms of a blockage when she asked for imaging to check on a half-decade-old disc procedure in her neck, she said in recent media interviews.That’s when a radiologist noticed what looked like arterial plaque buildup and told her to see a cardiologist, who determined there was a blockage of 95% to 99%.Mulkey had stents put in by catheter in late June and has fully resumed coaching activities, overseeing the first practice for the 2023-24 season, which was open to fans. “It’s not going to slow me down,” Mulkey told The Advocate of Baton Rouge. “I can’t do at 61 what I did at 23, but I’m good.”This summer, the Hall of Fame coach agreed to a 10-year contract worth about $32 million that would have her calling out...

What to know about Elijah McClain's death and the criminal trial of 2 officers

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:43:23 GMT

DENVER (AP) — The trial of two Aurora police officers charged in Elijah McClain’s death resumed Tuesday as prosecutors press their case that excessive force transformed the late-night stop of the Black man in the summer of 2019 into a fatal encounter.Criminal charges were brought in 2021 after a national racial reckoning over the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police galvanized criticism over law enforcement abuses against Black people and revived interest in McClain's case. Aurora police warn of card-tapping scam The officers put McClain in a neck hold during the stop, and McClain can be heard on body camera footage saying he's having trouble breathing. Defense attorneys argue the officers were correctly performing their duties before paramedics gave McClain an overdose of a powerful sedative that led to complications causing his death.A defense attorney suggested Tuesday that McClain’s attempts to resist the officers also could have contributed to his death by making it h...
