Olympic Gold Medalist Picabo Street Arrested On Assault Charges

  

Olympic gold-medalist skier Picabo Street has been charged with assault and domestic violence after authorities say she pushed her father down the stairs in a Utah home in December.

Street told police she locked her 76-year-old father in the basement of a Park City house after pushing him and then called authorities, according to charging documents released Wednesday. She says her father, Roland Street, pulled her hair in the December 23 fight at a house near Park City that police say Street’s three children witnessed.

Roland Street told police his daughter got angry and started yelling after he bumped his car into the house while trying to leave, documents show. When the two went inside the house, a physical altercation broke out.

He says his daughter grabbed him in the shoulder and neck area and pushed him down two flights of stairs. He said he may have hit his head. Police observed cuts on Roland Street’s elbow & neck.

Picabo Street, 44, was arrested and bailed out. She was charged by prosecutors about two weeks later with three counts of misdemeanor domestic violence in the presence of a child and one count of misdemeanor assault.

Her attorney, Jason Richards, said she denies any wrongdoing in what she considers a private family matter. He said Picabo Street is hopeful an “amicable resolution” can be reached.

Atlanta Rapper Detained At Bank With $200k In Cash


Fox 5 ATLANTA — It was a scene hard to miss by many Friday afternoon commuters in Buckhead as police held about nine people in handcuffs in the parking lot of a busy bank.

It happened at the Wells Fargo on the corner of Peachtree Drive and Piedmont Road. Atlanta Police said officers were requested at the location by the bank manager.

A witness said several people jumped out of an SUV when police arrived. Officers said they placed them in handcuffs while they investigated. Ultimately, police found no crime had been committed and let them all go.

 

“What’s wrong with having $200,000?” It makes me feel like I can’t be young, black, and rich.”

 

Blac Youngsta said he was at the bank to make a large withdrawal to purchase a luxury car.

 
Blac Gangsta is a protege of Memphis rapper, Yo Gotti.

FBI Ranks Churches Top 5 Targets For Crime

  

Via FOX5– The FBI labels places of worship as one of the top five soft targets for crime. That includes everything from mass shootings on down to burglary.

Security trainer Thomas Gillan warns religious leaders. He works for Training Force USA and hosted a workshop at the Hill Country Bible Church. The company reports a steady increase in security threats to places of worship across the country.

In December, a woman was arrested for ramming her car into the Church of Scientology in Central Austin.

“Churches are vulnerable. We open our doors to everyone.” says Gillan.

Over the summer the company was summoned to South Carolina by law enforcement in response to the murder of nine bible study attendees. 

Gillan says recent active shooter cases have caused a mass rush for religious leaders to better arm their facilities.

The Center for Public Safety Innovation advises, ”Lock the nursery door and hide children if alerted to a violent person in the church.”

But Gillan says more likely crimes include things like burglary, embezzlement and arson.
