Rick Ross has been arrested on domestic violence charges in Florida.
The rapper was arrested by Miami Beach police in the early hours of Thursday on domestic violence charges, including felony battery by strangulation, according to Miami-Dade jail and court records.
The 50-year-old, whose legal name is William Leonard Roberts, was booked into the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 6.10am.
He faces two charges listed as involving domestic violence, including one felony count of battery by strangulation and one misdemeanour count of battery.
The Grammy nominee reportedly turned himself in to police on Thursday after an ex-girlfriend alerted them on Tuesday, claiming he had been violent with her on 28 August.
The woman reportedly told police that Ross allegedly woke her up while she was sleeping and was physical with her while in a "jealous rage" over a photo she was tagged in on social media, according to TMZ.

A woman who reported to the police that Rick Ross allegedly committed domestic violence against her is revealed to be the rapper's former girlfriend by TMZ, just a few hours after Ross himself surrendered on the domestic violence allegations.
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.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Rapper Rick Ross was arrested early Thursday morning and charged with battery related to a domestic violence accusation, authorities said.
Ross, whose legal name is William Roberts II, faces a felony charge of battery by strangulation, as well as a misdemeanor battery charge, according to online court records.
An attorney for Ross, 50, released a statement saying Ross is being wrongfully accused by an ex-girlfriend whose true motivations are unclear.
"The ex did not even file a police report until a month after the claimed incident allegedly took place," defense attorney Steve Sadow said in the statement. "Mr. Roberts is innocent and has pled not guilty to the charges. He respectfully requests that his friends, fans and the general public not prejudge the situation and allow the judicial process to run its course."
Jail records showed that Ross was being held Thursday morning on $5,000 bail. An arraignment is scheduled for Oct. 22.

New claims are being made against Kroy "KJ" Biermann Jr., the son of The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak and estranged husband Kroy Biermann.
The 15-year-old appeared in Georgia's Fulton County Superior Court for a bond hearing on Friday, September 11, after being arrested last month for an alleged incident involving a female classmate. KJ was charged with seven felony counts, including aggravated ****** ual battery, per TMZ.
According to Page Six, Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy revealed that investigators found videos on KJ's phone that allegedly depict intercourse with a relative under the age of 12.
McGillcuddy claimed that this footage allegedly showed the teenager using "predatory, derogatory" language. There were no further details regarding the latest allegation, including any information on who the relative is.
Jason Sheffield, KJ's defense attorney, declined to comment on the new claim, per Page Six. However, Sheffield previously told the publication that KJ is "innocent" of the allegations recently made against him.

Egyptian television presenter Sarah Khalifa has been sentenced to death, but the Sept. 5 judgment does not end her legal fight.
A Cairo Criminal Court sentenced the 39-year-old presenter and 11 other defendants to death after convicting them in a major synthetic-drug manufacturing and trafficking case. Prosecutors had charged 28 people in connection with the alleged network.
Khalifa has repeatedly denied involvement. Her lawyer, Mohamed El-Gendy, now says she is expected to sign appeal papers Tuesday, Sept. 15, beginning another stage in a case that has drawn attention far beyond Egypt.
Egypt changed its felony appeals system in 2024. A Felony Appeals Court can reconsider the evidence, the prosecution's case and the role attributed to each defendant before a death sentence becomes final.
The Cairo Criminal Court convicted Khalifa and 11 co-defendants of participating in an organized criminal group involved in obtaining materials used to manufacture synthetic narcotics for trafficking.

Lindsey Brooke Isaacs was asleep at home when police arrived and told the 23-year-old that her car had been involved in a crash that killed three people. She knew they had the wrong person. Her black Dodge Durango showed no obvious collision damage, and she had a receipt showing where she had been.
Still, the investigation eventually led to her being arrested and 13 days in jail. "My heart was in my stomach," Lindsey told me on The CyberGuy Report Podcast at Cyberguy.com/podcast/. "I didn't know what was going on."
Months later, prosecutors dropped all eight felony charges against her and investigators arrested another woman in connection with the crash. Her case now raises a bigger question about how much weight investigators should give license plate camera data when a person's freedom is on the line.

UFC legend Diego Sanchez has been arrested once again.
Sanchez, 44, was arrested and booked Monday at 5:17 p.m. local time in Socorro, N.M. on two charges: aggravated driving under the influence and probation violation, according to online jail records. Local news outlet KOB4 first reported the news.
No further details about the arrest have become available at this time.
Sanchez was sentenced to five years of supervised probation in March after a July 2025 arrest for shooting a loaded gun out of the window of a car while riding in the passenger seat on the highway. Prosecutors had requested a two-year prison sentence for a fourth-degree felony charge of shooting at or from a motor vehicle. A second charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon was dropped as part of a plea agreement.
Following the judge's decision, Sanchez said he accepted responsibility for the incident and pointed to substance abuse issues and mental health problems, both of which he was seeking help for at the time of the incident, as contributing factors.

Sidney Starr's family and inner circle are speaking out after a judge refused to release the reality star from jail. Starr, whose legal name is Sidney Favors, remains locked up on felony charges involving a 13-year-old boy, but those closest to her say the accusations do not match the person they know—and that she is unraveling behind bars.
"Sidney is still in good spirits and asks that the public try not to make a judgment of guilt based on this decision," her camp said in a statement following the bond hearing.
Her manager, however, offered a far grimmer account of Starr's condition. "She's not doing well at all," the manager told TSR Investigates. "She tears up. She cries on the phone just about how scared for her safety she is."

Starr's friends were equally adamant that the allegations are out of character. "We're gonna get through this," one supporter said outside the courthouse. "This is not her at all."

Seahawks cornerback Terrion Arnold starts the 2026 season on paid leave, due to eight felony charges arising from an alleged armed robbery and kidnapping. And while he can't practice or play, Arnold is with the team.
"He's in the building and being part of our program and learning the heck out of our defense," coach Mike Macdonald told reporters on Saturday regarding Arnold. "Keep training and stay ready for when there's an opportunity."
It's still unknown when an opportunity will arise. In general, players on the Commissioner Exempt list due to criminal charges remain there until the case is over and discipline, if any, is imposed by the league. But the NFL has deviated from that approach in the past; in 2024, then-Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers spent seven games on paid leave, returning before his case went to trial. (He was acquitted of domestic battery in January 2025.)
Arnold's next court date happens on October 5. A trial hasn't been scheduled. Barring a plea deal, it's unlikely Arnold's case will end before the conclusion of the 2026 season.
The overriding question is whether the league will stick to its general approach that players will remain on paid leave until the case ends, or whether the league will allow Arnold to return at some point later in the season.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Former Fox Sports ****** yst Mark Sanchez plans to plead guilty to charges ahead of a trial stemming from an October 2025 fight with a truck driver outside an Indianapolis hotel, according to court records filed Thursday.
A motion asks for a guilty plea and sentencing hearing for Sanchez in Marion County Superior Court. Online records didn't indicate which charges Sanchez plans to plead guilty to.
Sanchez faces a felony battery charge, along with three misdemeanor charges, for what prosecutors have said was a fight over parking.
The ex-NFL quarterback's jury trial was scheduled to start Tuesday. The trial had been rescheduled five times since it was initially set to begin in December. Sanchez and Fox Sports also face a civil lawsuit filed by the truck driver, Perry Tole.
A police affidavit alleges that Sanchez, smelling of alcohol, accosted Tole, who had backed his truck into a hotel's loading docks in downtown Indianapolis. Tole claims in his lawsuit that Sanchez entered the truck without permission, then physically blocked and shoved Tole, who then doused Sanchez with pepper spray.

Former Fox Sports ****** yst Mark Sanchez has plead guilty to charges relating to an altercation from last fall, according to Indiana court records. Sanchez, who was facing three misdemeanors and a felony battery charge, filed a motion for a guilty plea on Thursday.
In October, Sanchez was stabbed in Indianapolis after allegedly sparking an altercation with a truck driver while intoxicated. He was initially charged with three misdemeanors — battery, unauthorized entry of a motor vehicle, and public intoxication — and later charged with a felony for battery resulting in serious bodily injury.
It is unclear which of the charges Sanchez is pleading guilty to. Sanchez's attorneys are reportedly requesting that his sentencing hearing take place on Nov. 9 or Nov. 16 if his plea is accepted, per multiple reports.
Sanchez's jury trial was originally set for March 12, but it was rescheduled four different times, most recently to Sept. 8.
Sanchez, a former New York Jets quarterback-turned-analyst, was fired by Fox a month after the incident.

Golf legend Tiger Woods has pleaded guilty to reckless driving following his March rollover crash and received a five-year driving suspension. He was also fined between $1,000 and $1,500.
According to Yahoo News, Woods initially pleaded not guilty to the charge of driving under the influence. The incident made headlines, given Woods' history of vehicle-related accidents. He was arrested immediately after the rollover crash in Jupiter Island, the Florida town where the golfer lives.
Motorbiscuit reported in March that Woods faced multiple non-felony charges, including driving under the influence, property damage, and refusing to submit to a lawful test. The incident occurred after 2:00 p.m. when Woods was traveling at a "high speed" in a designated 30-mph zone while attempting to overtake a truck hauling a pressure-washing trailer.
The truck driver reportedly saw Woods' Land Rover closing in quickly and tried to move toward the edge of the road to give the SUV more room. However, the maneuver was not enough to prevent a collision, with Woods' vehicle striking the trailer before rolling onto its driver's side and sliding along the pavement for a considerable distance.

Sidney Starr will remain behind bars after the mother of a 13-year-old boy described the severe emotional toll the reality star's alleged actions have taken on her son. A Fulton County judge denied Starr bond on Tuesday, August 25, siding with prosecutors who argued that her limited connections to the Atlanta area and sizable public platform made releasing her a risk while the felony case proceeds.
According to WSB-TV, the mother addressed the court through a written statement, revealing that her son has needed significant mental health treatment since the alleged encounter. "He is required to attend intensive therapy to begin the healing process for what was done to him," she said.
Starr, whose legal name is Sidney Favors, listened from the courtroom in a jail jumpsuit as prosecutors presented new details about the case.

On Wednesday, Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes spoke to the local media for the first time since the team made the decision to cut Terrion Arnold following his arrest in connection with an incident earlier this year that resulted in eight felony charges. It was an opportunity for Holmes to face some criticism on the way the Lions handled Arnold's situation and built the cornerback room behind him.
One of the main lingering questions was why the Lions' opinion on Arnold shifted throughout the process. When his name was first connected to the incident—before his arrest—the Lions organization backed Arnold and his version of the story.
"We got all the information that says he wasn't involved," coach Dan Campbell said during the owners' meeting in April. "That's what we know, that's all we know, and that's really all I can say. As far as I know, it's not a big deal. It seems like he still wasn't involved with this."
The Lions then opted to waive him days after his arrest. Holmes didn't offer many details on what changed, simply noting that when they got more information, they made the move they felt was right.
"The whole situation obviously was unfortunate. Look, the kid made a mistake," Holmes said. "The more information that we got throughout the process, that was the result of us doing what the best and right thing was for the club, which was: move on and move forward."

Former UFC light heavyweight ****** le contender Anthony Smith has had his next MMA fight announced despite his recent legal troubles.
Smith was arrested on July 27 in his native Nebraska on three felony charges of first-degree domestic ****** ault, terroristic threats, and first-degree false imprisonment. He has since pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released after posting a $500,000 bond.
Gamebred FC has announced that Smith will return to the cage against Jordan Heiderman on October 2.
"Gamebred Fighting Championship Official Statement: As we announce Anthony Smith's return to the Gamebred FC cage, I want to speak directly about where our organization stands. Anthony is facing serious allegations, and like every person in this country, he is entitled to due process and the presumption of innocence while his case moves through the courts. He has pleaded not guilty, and that process deserves to play out fully and fairly, on its own timeline, without a promotion, a headline, or public opinion getting ahead of the facts. Anthony also has a family to provide for, and competing is how he does that. Taking away his ability to earn a living before he has had his day in court is not something Gamebred FC is willing to do to him or to the people who depend on him," Gamebred FC's statement read, per Uncrowned.
Despite his legal issues, Smith's MMA career continues for Gamebred FC after he defeated Chase Sherman in the promotion earlier this year as part of its heavyweight tournament.

According to police, Patterson was charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle, aggravated ***** ault with a deadly weapon, criminal mischief, and armed burglary of a dwelling.
Patterson, who spent time with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and New England Patriots, was booked into custody on the charges.
Authorities have not released additional details about the allegations.
The case remains in the judicial process. As with all criminal cases, Patterson is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.

Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider has defended the NFL team's decision to sign Terrion Arnold despite serious felony allegations against the cornerback.
Arnold officially signed with Seattle on August 29 after agreeing to a one-year, minimum-salary contract. The former Detroit Lions first-round pick faces eight felony charges connected to an alleged robbery and kidnapping in Florida.
The NFL placed Arnold on the Commissioner's Exempt List after receiving his contract. He can attend meetings and train at the facility, but cannot practice or play while the legal process continues.

Speaking after the signing, Schneider said Arnold's reputation did not match what Seattle discovered during its evaluation.

So why did the Seahawks sign a cornerback who is facing eight felony charges and possible life in prison, knowing he not only couldn't play for them but can't even practice?
"There's a long-term play," said John Schneider, the man who signed Terrion Arnold Saturday.
That's one reason.
The other: A Seahawks legend told him.
On NFL roster cut day Sunday, exactly as the league had told Schneider and coach Mike Macdonald he would, Arnold went on the NFL commissioner's exempt list. Commissioner Roger Goodell alone will decide when Arnold can practice and play for the Seahawks.

The Seattle Seahawks on Saturday officially signed cornerback Terrion Arnold, who is facing felony charges in Florida and will be placed on the commissioner's exempt list while the case plays out.
Arnold, 23, is facing eight felony charges stemming from allegations he orchestrated the abduction and beating of three men in February. He became a free agent in June, when the Detroit Lions released him a few days after the kidnapping, armed robbery and conspiracy charges were levied.
Arnold will not be permitted to play or practice with the Seahawks as a result of being on the exempt list, but while the league investigates his case he can be paid and attend team meetings. It is not known when he might be able to play.
The Seahawks agreed to terms with Arnold two weeks ago. Coach Mike Macdonald said at the time that the team understood the ramifications of signing Arnold.
"We also understand that it's a serious situation with a legal matter. There's a process behind it, so we respect that," Macdonald said. "That's how we'll operate, just letting that process play out and let the league decide if and when his return to play is. We'll understand that that's at play, but there's also an opportunity to bring him and give him an opportunity to earn a position here."

The Seattle Seahawks have put pen to paper. On Saturday afternoon, following their preseason finale with the Kansas City Chiefs, the Seahawks officially signed embattled former Detroit Lions cornerback Terrion Arnold. This news came via NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
News broke in mid August that Seattle was planning to sign Arnold, who is currently charged with eight felony counts of armed robbery and kidnapping. The signing was delayed as the team was awaiting word of whether or not Arnold would be immediately placed on the commissioner's exempt list. Well, that question became reality, as it was announced a few days later that he would receive that special designation while the NFL conducted its own investigation.
Arnold's status with the league has apparently not deterred the Seahawks in their desire to improve their cornerback room. Arnold is on the team, but he cannot play or even practice with his new teammates while on the commissioner's exempt list. We saw on HBO's "Hard Knocks" that general manager John Schneider sees this signing as a long term investment, hoping he can provide some much-needed reinforcements to the secondary during the playoff push.
For now, the 12th Man must be patient. Arnold's next scheduled court proceeding won't be until October 5th in Tampa, Florida. That's already a long time to wait to get a better idea when... or if... Arnold will take the field as a Seahawk.

Detroit's defense intercepted 13 passes last season, tied for 11th in the NFL. Four of those came from cornerbacks, and D.J. Reed accounted for two of them.

Terrion Arnold, the 24th pick of the 2024 draft, was released by Detroit in June while facing felony charges he has denied, and he agreed to terms with Seattle this month. Reed inherited the No. 1 job, and the group behind him has been shuffled and interrupted by injuries throughout camp.
Tim Twentyman wrote in the club's own training camp position preview in last month that "the Arnold release hurts Detroit's depth at the position," adding it would not surprise him if general manager Brad Holmes added to the spot before the regular season. That went up five weeks before Gonzalez's name entered the conversation, written by someone the team employs.

Jonathon Cooper has an arraignment date for his felony ****** ault case scheduled for Aug. 31, which is one day after the Denver Broncos are set to finalize their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season.
After that arraignment, if Cooper's case goes to trial, it could be months away from a resolution. Cooper could face a potential suspension from the NFL, but the league likely won't make a decision on a potential suspension until after the legal process has been completed.
In the meantime, the NFL could place Cooper on the commissioner's exempt list, but the Broncos have not yet heard a decision from the league.
"I don't know," Payton said on Wednesday when asked if he expects to have clarity from the NFL on Cooper's status before the roster deadline. "In other words, I don't know, and you always want clarity, but I think we'll find out soon and you'll find out probably right when I do."
If the NFL places Cooper on the commissioner's exempt list, he could not practice or play in games, but the pass rusher would still be paid and he would be allowed at the team's facility for meetings, conditioning and weight training. Cooper would not count against the 53-man roster if on the exempt list.

Hayden Panettiere reportedly gave security strict instructions. The detail has emerged following her death at age 36. The actress and singer had told security to keep ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson away from her Manhattan book signing.
The incident reportedly happened while the Sleepwalker star was promoting her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning. According to The New York Times, her private security team was instructed to prevent Hickerson from entering the Barnes & **** le event.
Panettiere and Hickerson dated on and off from 2018 to 2022. Their relationship included multiple domestic violence incidents, and Hickerson pleaded no contest in 2021 to two felony counts of injuring a significant other. He received a five-year protective order and served 13 days of a 45-day jail sentence after credit for time served.
In This Is Me: A Reckoning, Panettiere opened up about the abuse she said she experienced during their relationship. The 36-year-old wrote, "I never wanted to call myself a victim, but here I am. It's part of my story whether I want it to be or not."
The actress also described how violence escalated over time. Panettiere said, "You never forget the first time someone slaps you nor do you forget the last."
