Indiana Democrat arrested after allegedly campaigning in neighborhood while on cocaine An Indiana Democratic State Senate candidate was arrested while allegedly canvassing a neighborhood while high on cocaine, according to police, after officers say his erratic behavior and a brief struggle led to the discovery of drugs in his car. Andrew Dezelan, 38, who is running in the May 5 Democratic primary for Senate District 31, faces one count of possession of cocaine and a misdemeanor count of resisting law enforcement, following his arrest Sunday night, FOX59 Indianapolis reported. Police responded to reports of a man going door-to-door soliciting around 8 p.m. in a neighborhood in Fishers, WRTV reported. Officers located Dezelan sitting in his car at a nearby clubhouse, where he told them he was canvassing. According to a probable cause affidavit obtained by the outlet, officers quickly noticed signs Dezelan might have been impaired, including rapid speech, erratic movements, sweating and constricted pupils. more at https://www.foxnews.com/politics/indiana-democrat-arrested-allegedly-campaigning-neighborhood-cocaine

and another one.......... Army major in Virginia charged with conspiring to aid Cameroon separatist fighters WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. Army major employed as a nurse on a military base near Washington, D.C., has been charged with conspiring to provide financial and tactical support to separatist fighters in his native Cameroon, according to court records unsealed earlier this week. Maj. Kenneth Chungag, a nurse who lives and works on Fort Belvoir in Virginia, is accused of using his military training and experience to assist the Ambazonia Defense Forces in Cameroon. Chungag is “greatly dismayed by these charges and looks forward to a timely and just resolution of the matter,” defense attorney Robert Jenkins told The Associated Press in an email Friday. Chungag, a 50-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, and co-defendant Mercy Akwi Ombaku were arrested Monday on federal conspiracy charges. A magistrate judge ordered their release from custody after initial court appearances in Alexandria, Virginia. Prosecutors didn’t seek their pretrial detention. more at https://wset.com/news/local/army-major-in-virginia-charged-with-conspiring-to-aid-cameroon-separatist-fighters-fort-belvoir-va-washington-dc-ambazonia-defense-forces-april-2026

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — One person is dead and five others were injured in a mass shooting at the Mall of Louisiana in Baton Rouge on Thursday afternoon. Baton Rouge Police Chief TJ Morse confirmed that 5 suspects have been taken into custody in connection with the shooting. The incident unfolded around 1:25 p.m. According to police, two groups of people got into an argument at the food court when gunfire erupted. Authorities say at this time, the mall has been evacuated and there is no known threat to the public, but the incident does not appear to be a random act of violence. Mayor-President Sid Edwards joined authorities at the scene, saying, “To the thugs who did this, we are going to catch you.” The mayor’s office confirmed that the victims are currently at city hospitals receiving treatment for their injuries. more at https://www.louisianafirstnews.com/news/shooting-reported-at-mall-of-louisiana/

Brass is being stripped from fire hydrants across Detroit, leaving officials livid and the hydrants inoperable. City leaders are calling it unacceptable. On Wednesday, Detroit Fire Department members displayed a vandalized hydrant where thieves removed the brass stem inside. The theft made the hydrant non-working, that puts many at risk, said Chuck Sims, executive fire commissioner, DFD. "It’s not only a theft to the fire hydrant, but it’s a theft to our citizens, our residents, or firefighters and public safety in general," said Sims. "Totally unacceptable. Fire hydrants are an important part of our infrastructure and no matter how fast we get to a fire, if we don’t have an operable fire hydrant, it takes seconds and even minutes away from us - maybe saving lives." "The problem is whoever is doing this is doing multiple hydrants in a row," said Sam Smalley, DWSD deputy director. "So when DFD shows up, they’re not going to have a hydrant within 600 or 900 feet which puts peoples' lives at risk." more at https://www.fox2detroit.com/news/detroit-fire-hydrants-getting-stripped-brass-thieves-leaving-them-non-working

A Mexican national who voted illegally in U.S. elections and falsely claimed to be a citizen has been convicted and could face removal under federal immigration law. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to Fox News Digital that Jose Ceballos-Armendariz, a lawful permanent resident who has held a green card since 1990, pleaded guilty to three counts of disorderly election conduct following prosecution by the Kansas Attorney General’s Office. Officials said Ceballos-Armendariz unlawfully voted multiple times and falsely claimed U.S. citizenship on voter registration forms, including a 1999 application in which he affirmed he was a citizen of the United States. He later applied for U.S. citizenship in February 2025. DHS said he falsely stated on that application that he had never claimed to be a U.S. citizen. DHS said Ceballos-Armendariz also has a prior criminal conviction, having been found guilty of battery in 1995. Existing federal law — 18 U.S.C. § 611: "Voting by aliens" under the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) of 1996 — prohibits noncitizens, including lawful permanent residents, from voting in elections for all federal offices. more at https://www.foxnews.com/politics/mexican-national-convicted-illegally-voting-us-false-citizenship-claims-faces-removal-dhs

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Southern Poverty Law Center was indicted Tuesday on federal fraud charges alleging it improperly raised millions of dollars to pay informants to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said. The Justice Department alleges the civil rights group defrauded donors by using their money to fund the very extremism it claimed to be fighting, with payments of at least $3 million between 2014 and 2023 to people affiliated with the Ku Klux Klan, the United Klans of America, the National Socialist Party of America and other extremist groups. “The SPLC was not dismantling these groups. It was instead manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred,” Blanche said. The civil rights group faces charges including wire fraud, bank fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering in the case brought by the Justice Department in Alabama, where the organization is based. more at https://apnews.com/article/southern-poverty-law-center-criminal-investigation-db7fdcf9baa0d1b24b8f1e1f2cebc0be

Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigns minutes before hearing on whether she should be expelled WASHINGTON — Embattled Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., resigned on Tuesday, moments before the House Ethics Committee was set to consider whether to recommend she be expelled from Congress. Last month, the Ethics panel found her guilty of 25 ethics violations related to allegations she stole federal relief funds and used some of the money to fund her political campaign. Her criminal trial is expected to begin in February 2027, and she complained that it was a "dangerous path" for the Ethics panel to weigh her expulsion before her day in court. She has denied wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty. "I will not stand by and pretend that this has been anything other than a witch hunt. I simply cannot stand by and allow my due process rights to be trampled on, and my good name to be tarnished," Cherfilus-McCormick said of the Ethics process in a statement posted on X. more at https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/democratic-rep-sheila-cherfilus-mccormick-resigns-ethics-probe-rcna341199
