.@ATFCharlotte and @OburgSO secured a five-year federal sentence for a man who burned a puppy alive on Facebook Live in December 2025. Desmond Levon Brown, 30, of Orangeburg, S.C. was convicted under the Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, the first-ever PACT Act prosecution in South Carolina, which is a powerful federal enforcement effort aimed at ending extreme animal cruelty.
“This was an awful act of animal cruelty that deserves accountability,” said ATF Charlotte Special Agent in Charge Alicia Jones. “No animal should ever have to experience such terrible abuse, and those who commit reprehensible acts of violence like this will be brought to justice.”
Under federal law, Brown will also serve three years of supervised release, and is barred from owning animals. More at justice.gov/usao-sc/pr/orang….

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 18, 2026
SUMMIT TOWNSHIP, Jackson County, Mich. – At approximately 3:50 a.m. on October 18, 2026, troopers from the Michigan State Police (MSP) Jackson Post attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a white Jeep Patriot near West Michigan Avenue and 24th Street in the Township of Summit. The vehicle fled southbound on 24th Street. Troopers did not initiate a pursuit.
Moments later, Jackson 911 received an iPhone crash notification near 24th Street and Morrell Street. Troopers responded to the scene and located the Jeep, which had crashed into a tree.
Preliminary investigation indicates the Jeep was being driven by a 17-year-old male from Jackson, who had fled from the attempted traffic stop. The vehicle was traveling southbound on 24th Street at a high rate of speed and failed to stop at the intersection of Morrell Street before crashing into a tree. Alcohol and speed are believed to be factors in the crash.

A strong gust of wind caused a canoe trailer to tip over on the Mackinac Bridge, but thanks to quick thinking and teamwork, everyone made it safely across.
On October 17, 2026, at about 11:12 p.m., a Michigan State Police trooper from the St. Ignace Post responded to a trailer that had tipped over while crossing the Mackinac Bridge.
The trailer was being pulled by a pickup truck and was carrying eight canoes. A gust of wind caused the trailer to tip over and come to rest against the bridge railing on the northbound lanes. The trooper helped keep the driver and his dog safe and warm inside the patrol car while waiting for more help to arrive.
George’s Towing from St. Ignace responded and was able to pull the trailer back onto the road and upright again, without losing a single canoe. Once upright, the goal was then to get everyone to the north side of the bridge safely.
To help keep the trailer from tipping over again, the tow truck stayed attached while the trooper escorted everyone to the north side of the bridge. Thanks to the teamwork, everyone made it safely across with all eight canoes.

ICE transferred Rajinder Kumar, a criminal illegal alien from India, to Oregon state custody to face prosecution in connection with the deaths of two newlywed Americans.
Kumar has been indicted in Deschutes County, Ore., on 2 counts of first-degree manslaughter and other related charges stemming from a deadly November 2025 tractor-trailer accident.
After his local arrest, ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the Deschutes County Jail, but in April 2026, Deschutes County released Kumar from custody without honoring ICE’s detainer. ICE officers subsequently located and arrested Kumar at large earlier this year.
Following the conclusion of state criminal proceedings, ICE will pursue Kumar’s immigration case consistent with federal law.
