Man federally indicted after allegedly shooting police K9
WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – A federal grand jury has returned an indictment charging a Waco man with one count of possession of an unregistered firearm. According to court documents, Darrin King allegedly fled from Waco Police officers on May 28, who were dispatched to a civil disturbance involving a firearm. A police K9 was deployed in pursuit of King, who allegedly produced a firearm and fired multiple shots at the dog, striking the K9 twice in the neck and once in the chest. The Department of Justice says King was subsequently taken into custody and the firearm was recovered. The firearm was allegedly equipped with a machinegun conversion device (MCD), also known as a 'Glock switch,' allowing the firearm to fire as a fully automatic weapon. MCDs are defined as machineguns under the National Firearms Act, even when not installed. PREVIOUS STORY: Waco PD K-9 shot, recovering, man arrested The injured K9 survived his life-threatening injuries – but due to the extent of the injuries, will be medically retired. The DoJ says King faces up to ten years in prison if convicted. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the Waco Police Department are investigating the case. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Here's what the woman forcibly removed from Indianapolis meeting wanted to say
Standing outside the City-County Building on June 9 after sheriff's deputies forcibly removed her, Lauren Roberts — a former deputy campaign manager for Mayor Joe Hogsett and the first woman to accuse the mayor's top aide of sexual harassment — read the statement she had planned to share with the Indianapolis City-County Council before she was kicked out. "If I could tell my younger self what Joe Hogsett and his then-campaign manager, Thomas Cook, were about to put me through," Roberts said of her time working for Hogsett from November 2014 to June 2015, during his first mayoral run, "I would tell her to run away and don't look back." Law enforcement's aggressive removal of Roberts is the latest eruption in a conflict made public in July 2024, when IndyStar reported Roberts and two other women's allegations that Cook pressured them toward intimacy and unwanted sexual encounters while he served as their boss under Hogsett. To investigate the claims, the city hired the Chicago-based law firm Fisher Phillips to conduct an investigation. The 54-page final report released May 29 found that the Hogsett administration followed the law in handling the women's claims. But investigators highlighted ethical concerns around Hogsett's decision to allow Cook to resign in 2020, more than two months after an internal recommendation to fire him. What further outraged Roberts and another Cook accuser, however, is what did not appear in the report: that the mayor, who was married and more than 30 years older than each woman at the time, sent them late-night and personal texts alluding to poetry. Fisher Phillips investigators have declined to comment on the omissions. Cook in the past apologized for his conduct. Hogsett, meanwhile, has defended his handling of his past investigations into Cook and did not address IndyStar's questions about the text exchanges. In her statement, Roberts called the Fisher Phillips report a "political performance" because the text messages were left out and Cook wasn't subpoenaed to testify — an authority granted to the council's Investigative Committee. "Fisher Phillips' report made glaring omissions in favor of the mayor's version of events, made sloppy errors about basic facts that we backed with overwhelming documentation, and frequently, in the most misogynistic way, characterized survivors' statements as claims while the mayor's were treated as facts," Roberts said in her statement outside the council meeting. At the June 9 meeting, the council voted to postpone the final $300,000 payment to Fisher Phillips until councilors learn more about why the law firm left out certain details. The council said its Administrative and Finance Committee would hear public comment on the report in its next hearing on June 17 at 5:30 p.m. During her official comments to the council, Roberts spoke for about 10 seconds before a councilor interrupted her to ask whether her speech was relevant to the meeting agenda. After Roberts restarted and accused councilors of trying to silence her with "manipulative back-room conversations," Council President Vop Osili interrupted Roberts. 'You're welcome to have me hauled out by sheriffs, but I'm going to take my time," Roberts told Osili. 'You will have two minutes," Osili replied, invoking the standard time limit for public comment, "and when you are done with that two minutes, you will be done." When the two minutes were up, Osili said, "Ms. Roberts, you are now done." After she refused to stop talking and leave the microphone, Osili said, "Sheriff, you will remove anyone who is talking at this point." Multiple sheriff's deputies pushed Roberts out of the room while she resisted and told them to stop touching her. "It is never a pleasure to escort someone from our room," Osili told media after the meeting. "But we have a sense of order here and we have rules that we have followed … for a very long time. And others have had to abide by those. When someone indicates or says that they will talk for as long as they like, it's not something that this council can stand with." Roberts' overarching message to councilors Monday night was that they should call for Hogsett to resign. So far, three councilors — Democrat Andrew Nielsen, Democratic socialist Jesse Brown and Republican Joshua Bain, who announced his demand Tuesday — have called on Hogsett to resign. Councilor Crista Carlino, chair of the investigative committee, said after Monday's meeting that she was "deeply considering" that possibility. In her statement, Roberts chastised all the councilors for failing to act. "Survivors, whistleblowers, city workers and campaign staff who speak out about abuse are not the problem for the Democratic party, for this administration, or for this council," Roberts said. "Abusers are the problem. Your constituents cannot afford for you to spend another moment wringing your hands or claiming that your role is limited to policymaking."
