$188 Million NC Powerball Winner Given Summons For Harassment 

  
Marie Holmes, the North Carolina mom who won a $188 million Powerball lottery jackpot last year and has spent millions bailing her boyfriend out of jail, now has legal issues of her own.

Holmes, 26, was given a criminal summons this week on charges of making threatening and harassing phone calls to a woman named Lorna Marlowe, according to WECT news.

The phone calls allegedly occurred on Jan. 10, and Marlowe filed a complaint the same day.

According to MyFox8: the summons alleges “Holmes threatened to inflict bodily harm on Marlowe and repeatedly called her for the purpose of harassing her.”

After winning the lottery last year, Holmes has become almost a mainstay in the headlines thanks to her efforts to support her boyfriend, Lamarr McDow, the father of her youngest child. 

  

He recently spoke to The Daily Mail about Holmes and why she has no qualms with spending millions to bail him out of jail. McDow is an alleged heroin dealer who has been arrested on charges of illegal drug possession and illegal street racing.

DJ Khaled Robbed Of $80K After He Accidently Snapchats His Black American Express Card Number

  
DJ Khaled made a big costly mistake on Snapchat, all in the name of the flex.

He did the unthinkable and flashed his American Express Black Card on Snapchat and lost about $80k in roughly 30 seconds.

“I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life and this is just. Another one,” said Khaled in another interview with Snapchat

‘Users’ (no pun intended) took his limitless AMEX card number and immediately started making purchases. 

Khaled is now taking it straight to the law enforcers and says he will file a law suit to Snapchat to locate the unauthorized buyers.

“People who bought something with my card. All purchases are trackable and you will be arrested. Congratulations, you played your self.” 

Umm– the jury is still out on exactly who got “played” here, Khaled. Smh! 

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.
