Ross voluntarily surrendered to Miami Beach police and was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center shortly after 6 a.m. on October 1. CBS12 reported from Miami-Dade court records that Ross and attorney Bradley ****** nstein filed a written plea of not guilty and demanded a jury trial.
Ross later bonded out and denied the allegations while speaking to reporters outside the jail. "I'm totally innocent of these fabricated allegations made against me," he said, according to WSVN 7News. His legal team has likewise said he is being wrongfully accused and asked that the case be allowed to proceed without prejudgment.
The arrest report describes an alleged August 28 confrontation involving a woman who said she had been in a relationship with Ross and living with him. The allegations have not been adjudicated, and Ross is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
According to the arrest affidavit reviewed by CBS12, the woman went to Miami Beach police on September 29 to report an incident she said had occurred about a month earlier. She told investigators that Ross became angry after seeing an Instagram photograph in which she had been tagged and questioned her about another person.

Rick Ross, whose real name is William Leonard Roberts II and who is 50 years old, turned himself in to Miami Beach police early Thursday morning. According to the documents provided by the county jail and court, Ross has been charged with felony battery by strangulation and misdemeanor battery related to domestic violence and booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 6:10 a.m. He has posted a $6,000 bond for his release: $5,000 for the felony and $1,000 for the misdemeanor.
The sources in law enforcement, cited by TMZ, claimed that the woman contacted the police on Tuesday, roughly a month after the alleged **** ault. The website has not disclosed the complainant's identity, and authorities have not yet released the arrest affidavit.
As TMZ reports, the woman said that the alleged **** ault took place on August 28th, when Ross woke her up over a photo she had been tagged in on social media.
According to the woman, Ross demanded explanations from her about lying to him, slapped her in the face, and accused her of having affairs with other men. She told the police that he hit her every time she denied it. Moreover, the woman claimed that Ross struck her in the chest several times, choked her till she could not breathe, yanked her ponytail, and pushed her against the wall. Then she showed the photos of the injuries to the police, according to TMZ.

Iowa wrestler Jordan Williams has been charged with operating while under the influence, according to Johnson County court records.
This is Williams' second OWI charge, according to court documents, with the first coming in Payne County, Oklahoma, in August 2023.
The incident occurred Sept. 7. According to a police affidavit, an officer approached a vehicle that had been running with its lights on for "at least" two hours in a parking lot/garage at 180 E. Burlington St. in Iowa City. The officer found Williams unconscious with an open container of alcohol in his lap.
The police affidavit states that after Williams woke up, the officer observed an alcohol smell, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes, as well as Williams showing impairment in standardized field sobriety tests. Williams refused a preliminary breath test, according to the police affidavit.
This is Williams' second off-the-mat incident since committing to Iowa in 2025. On June 14, 2025, while Williams was publicly committed to Iowa but not yet signed, he was involved in an incident at ReUnion Brewery in Iowa City. He and his attorney later agreed to an amended plea of a simple misdemeanor charge for disorderly conduct.

Kim Zolciak is facing nearly $150,000 in alleged debts as she deals with ongoing legal issues involving her family. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star faces two separate lawsuits over unpaid debts. The cases involve money tied to her former business and a credit card account. Both lawsuits remain ongoing.
According to Us Weekly, Headway Capital sued Zolciak in April 2026. The financial company claims she entered a business-use line of credit agreement for 8 Busy B's LLC. The company alleges Zolciak did not repay $75,000. Headway Capital is seeking $130,634.03, including interest.
According to court documents, Headway Capital claims Zolciak owes $74,983.89 in principal. The lawsuit also lists $55,650.14 in accrued interest through Aug. 13, 2024. Headway Capital also seeks prejudgment interest from Aug. 14, 2024, plus statutory post-judgment interest. Zolciak received the lawsuit papers at her Georgia home from a Gwinnett County sheriff's deputy on June 23. A hearing set for Aug. 8 was later canceled, and the court has not set another date. Zolciak has not responded to the lawsuit.
Zolciak also faces a separate lawsuit over an alleged unpaid credit card balance. Portfolio Recovery ****** ociates, LLC sued her on July 13 and claims she owes $16,759.51. The company says it bought the debt from Barclays Bank Delaware in May 2024. The lawsuit says Zolciak "failed to make payments" and "defaulted" under the agreement.
According to an affidavit, a process server made more than 10 attempts to serve Zolciak at her former home. Security reportedly said she no longer lived there, while several calls went unanswered. The process server's most recent attempt was on Aug. 22.

Professional golfer Tiger Woods pleaded no contest to reduced charges of reckless driving and refusal to submit to a lawful test on Wednesday, Sept. 2, in a plea deal in his DUI case in Martin County Circuit Court in Florida.
Woods' driver's license was suspended for five years as part of the agreement, and he agreed to pay $1,500 in fines.
Woods' SUV collided with a trailer being hauled by a truck on a busy Florida roadway on March 27, causing his vehicle to roll onto its side.
Woods told police responding at the scene that he had looked down at his phone and adjusted his radio, failing to see the vehicle in front of him slowing down.
But officers at the scene said Woods was "sweating profusely," according to an arrest affidavit.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has seized more than $560,000 in cryptocurrency donations intended for Hamas, the Justice Department said Tuesday in announcing a disruption of financing for the militant group.
In addition to seizing cryptocurrency meant to support Hamas' military wing, the department said that it had taken control of website domains and communication platforms used for fundraising and recruitment, and had obtained information about thousands of people who had contacted Hamas with a goal of giving money to the group.
"My message to Hamas is clear: your networks are not secure, your crypto is vulnerable, and we will not stop until your ability to wage war is defeated," Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said in a video statement announcing the operation.
According to FBI affidavits filed in connection with the seizures, Hamas began testing virtual currency fundraising in or around early 2019 through its Qassam Brigades, or military wing, and solicited donations on its Telegram channel and also used direct online fundraising. Hamas officials bragged that the currency would be untraceable and their websites offered instructions for how to make anonymous donations, the affidavits say.
A major investigative break arrived last year when FBI officials identified a financing network soliciting donations to the Qassam Brigades via virtual currency and a confidential source located in the United States alerted law enforcement to a Telegram post asking for contributions to an email address **** ociated with Hamas.

WASHINGTON, Aug 28 (Reuters) - U.S. officials are correcting earlier statements that several government agencies were hacked by Chinese hackers, now saying that the organizations were among the hackers' targets.
In a newly edited statement, the Department of Justice said on Friday that the U.S. Senate, the Federal Reserve, NASA and others were "among the targets of QTFY," a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group that officials identified on Wednesday during an internet domain seizure operation.
A previous version of the statement said the government agencies had been among the hackers' victims.
A note left at the bottom of the newly edited statement said that "Edits have been made to ensure this press release accurately reflects the government's allegations in the affidavit in support of the domain seizures."

Miami running back Jordan Lyle was estimated to be driving 130 mph while attempting to flee a traffic stop in South Florida last month, according to a probable cause affidavit released on Tuesday, via the Miami Herald.
Lyle was arrested last week on charges of aggravated fleeing and eluding law enforcement, each of which are felony complaints in Florida. He is also facing a misdemeanor complaint of reckless driving.
He turned himself into the Sunrise Police Department on Thursday after an arrest warrant was issued. He was then released on bond that same day.
According to the report, Lyle was spotted driving north on the Sawgrass Expressway shortly after 7 p.m. on July 10 and was clocked by an officer driving 92 mph. The speed limit in the area is just 65 mph. When the officer tried to pull Lyle over, Lyle allegedly sped up and got to as fast as 130 mph while making "rapid, abrupt and unsafe lane changes to maneuver between vehicles." At one point, Lyle allegedly made a U-turn from a through lane after exiting the expressway.
Eventually, the officer turned off his lights and sirens and let him go to avoid further danger. An investigation later determined that the car was registered to Lyle, and it was linked to him via his parents' home surveillance system. Police spoke to Lyle via FaceTime on July 15, and he arrived at the police department with a lawyer to give a sworn statement later that day.

INDIANAPOLIS — Ex-Indiana Pacers point guard Ty Lawson, who came to the team in 2016 with court-ordered supervision for multiple drunk driving charges, was arrested again last week — this time for stealing a $34 bottle of **** o's vodka from a liquor store in Colorado, court records allege.
During the arrest July 16 in Douglas County, Col., while being booked into jail, Lawson allegedly verbally **** aulted police, screaming and repeatedly calling an officer (expletive) and “white (expletive),” according to the New York Post, which obtained the probable cause affidavit.
"At times, according to the report, he kicked his cell’s glass wall and yelled 'stop' over and over again," the Post reported. "He also allegedly spit on the floor."
Court records say Lawson eventually “calmed down” and apologized for his actions.
Lawson, 38, played almost his entire NBA career with the Denver Nuggets from 2009 to 2015. In July 2015, he was traded to the Houston Rockets.

Former Fox Sports and ESPN host Marcellus Wiley has been released from Orange County Jail after posting a $1,000 bond, according to a report by Mike Florio in Pro Football Talk. The former NFL defensive end was arrested on Saturday after police responded to an alleged domestic battery incident.
Florio reports, per details obtained from the Arrest Affidavit, that the incident occurred at the World Marriott in Orlando on Saturday afternoon, and the alleged victim was Wiley’s wife. Wiley’s wife asked officers to “remove her husband from their shared hotel room due to her being afraid of him,” saying that Wiley “told [her] he was going to kill her and [she] was afraid of his behavior.”
Asked to elaborate by the officers, Wiley’s wife said “on the previous morning Marcellus had put his hands on her,” by using “one finger to sternly and intentionally poke her in the cheek.”
The affidavit noted Wiley’s wife displayed no “visible injuries” and that she did not request medical attention. However, she did say that Wiley “had an unreported history of violence toward her and she was planning to divorce him when they returned home to California.”
Per Florio, “Wiley denied any physical altercation with his wife,” and claimed she made the report because she intended to divorce him.

With an injunction hearing coming up Wednesday, the NCAA has filed a response in an eligibility lawsuit regarding the age-based eligibility model. It also includes an affidavit from the commissioners of the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and Big East conferences.
The suit was filed in Ohio after the NCAA unanimously approved the age-based eligibility model. Xavier’s Filip Borovicanin and Cincinnati’s MJ Collins are among the 15 athletes listed as plaintiffs. A judge denied a request for a temporary restraining order, but set a hearing for a preliminary injunction for July 1.
[ $19.99 gets you a FULL year of On3 | Rivals national coverage ]
Ahead of the hearing, the NCAA filed its response, and the conference commissioners defended the decision not to “grandfather” athletes who would have another year under the age-based model. They cited the need to protect incoming athletes and their roster spots in their decision.
“The downstream effects of granting an additional year of eligibility would, without question, harm college sports across the country,” the affidavit reads, in part. “If a court were to allow Plaintiffs and similarly situated student-athletes to compete during the 2026-27 academic year, immediate and significant uncertainty in the collegiate athletic landscape necessarily follows.

An Indiana man was charged Wednesday on accusations he stalked WNBA player Sophie Cunningham and sent her threatening and explicit messages on social media.
Kevin Singh, 48, faces felony charges for stalking and intimidation, as well as a misdemeanor harassment charge. He was arrested Tuesday, according to the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office.
Cunningham, a player with the Indiana Fever, told investigators she had been staying at home more and having nightmares because of Singh’s continued messages, according to the affidavit. She was first made aware of Singh’s alleged online conduct in February, she said.
Singh's online behavior escalated that month and his conduct “became increasingly threatening after he was contacted by team security," the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office said in a news release.
According to an affidavit, Singh allegedly sent numerous messages — including explicit messages — on the social media platform X in April. One of the messages featured the text, “You're literally down the street from me!” After Cunnigham's team sent Singh a cease-and-desist letter on April 30, Singh sent more messages on X, making explicit and threatening comments, according to the affidavit.

The victim is setting an example by speaking out.

Bode Miller, a six-time Olympic medalist and one of the most decorated American Alpine skiers, said he expects to be cleared of two misdemeanor drug charges filed against him this month in Idaho, disputing the account in a sheriff's affidavit.
Miller, 48, was arrested June 6 in Fremont County on one count of possession of a controlled substance and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia, according to records obtained by ABC News.
In a statement posted to his Instagram account, Miller said he was pulled over for accelerating while passing another vehicle on an Idaho highway. He said a friend traveling with him had a small amount of cannabis and a cannabis pipe that Miller was not aware of.
"We fully cooperated with the officer," Miller said. "I am hopeful the misdemeanor charges will be dropped once the facts are reviewed."
His account differs from the probable cause affidavit. A Fremont County Sheriff's deputy wrote that Miller had a white dispensary bag containing 4.1 grams of psilocybin mushrooms and knew the mushrooms were illegal, KTVB reported. The affidavit was filed June 9 in Fremont County Magistrate Court.
