Milwaukee police arrest three men at addresses tied to abduction of 7-year-old boy
Jamal was found safe Saturday evening.
A 25-year-old was arrested at the home where Jamal was discovered, while police also made arrests of two people at the home from which White was abducted.
The person arrested where White was found, in the 2000 block of N. 39th St., was arrested July 12 at 5:45 p.m. and is in custody for a probation violation.
One of the two people arrested at the home from which White was taken was being held on tentative charges of resisting and obstructing, and the other was being held on a tentative charge of 2nd degree recklessly endangering safety. Both are 27 years old.
It was unclear Sunday if the charges were related to the abduction. Police have not released any details since Jamal was found.
White was abducted outside his home July 11 in the 6200 block of West Hustis Street on the city's northwest side and put into a white Jeep Renegade by an unknown man in a black face mask. He was found close to 24 hours later around six and a half miles away near 39th and Lloyd.
"Jamal has a been located and is safe," Milwaukee police said in a statement at 6:36 p.m. July 12. "The Milwaukee Police Department would like to thank everyone for their assistance in this matter."
Nikki Harrington, one of White's cousins, told the Journal Sentinel she was excited and relieved when she found out White was found alive.

Fired Lane County administrator's ethics case closed after 12 years
Oregon's ethics board chose to drop the 12-year-old case against former Lane County Administrator Liane Richardson, who was fired in 2013 as part of a scandal over her pay, at its Aug. 8 meeting. In her recommendation to dismiss, Susan Meyers, executive director of the Oregon Government Ethics Commission, said Richardson's case was "very old" and predated all members of the current OGEC board. "I don't have a good explanation" for why the investigation had taken so long, Meyers said, but given its age "it would be very difficult to proceed with any completion of the investigation or contest case simply because of the time that has passed and accessibility to any witnesses," leading her to recommend the board close the case. The board agreed with Meyers in a 7-0-1 vote, with OGEC Commissioner Iván Resendiz Gutierrez abstaining due to his affiliation with Lane County. In 2013, the Oregon Government Ethics Commission began investigating Richardson, who Lane County Commissioners fired that August and the parties agree not to sue. Richardson was promoted on an interim basis in 2010 and hired permanently in 2011. Commissioners said Richardson cashed out PTO and deferred payment in violation of county policy. This occurred while Richardson oversaw the county as it faced a $13.5 million budget shortfall which led to the county laying off employees, proposing forced furloughs and Richardson publicly declining a controversial pay raise. The initial version of the report that led to her firing was highly redacted, and the full version, released later, was unclear on whether Richardson acted entirely on her own or with the tacit approval of county commissioners. Subsequent investigation also found she had pressured the Human Resources director to recommend that raise, and appointed a city of Eugene police officer, with whom her husband alleged she was having an affair, to an internal county committee that recommended approval of her deferred pay cashout, and had scheduled him to attend an out-of-state conference with her and other county employees. In the fall out, Marion County's District Attorney declined to press charges, but the state bar association rejected Richardson's application over her conduct as Lane County administrator.

University of Miami files to dismiss Wisconsin lawsuit alleging player tampering
The University of Miami on Friday filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought upon by the University of Wisconsin and its name, image and likeness collective two months ago that alleged UM had tampered with one of its former players. Wisconsin in its June lawsuit alleged Miami committed tortious interference regarding a binding revenue-sharing deal involving defensive back Xavier Lucas, who left Madison to return home to South Florida to play for the Hurricanes despite the University of Wisconsin blocking his release into the transfer portal. The University of Wisconsin and its name, image and likeness collective filed the suit in June claiming the University of Miami allegedly 'interfered with UW-Madison's relationship with Student-Athlete A [Lucas] by making impermissible contact with him and engaging in tampering.' The lawsuit seeks 'unspecified damages, transparency and accountability from Miami' for its actions. The university is not pursuing legal action against Lucas, who isn't directly named in the lawsuit. In its motion, Miami made the case that Wisconsin does not have jurisdiction to sue it in Wisconsin state circuit court. Part of Miami's motion also included unsworn testimony from Lucas denying contact with anyone from Miami before he attempted to leave Wisconsin. Lucas, a Pompano Beach native who went to high school at Plantation American Heritage, transferred to Miami in January ahead of the spring semester despite a month-long contentious standoff with Wisconsin. Lucas on Dec. 19 originally announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal following his freshman season at Wisconsin, which his attorney Darren Heitner told Yahoo at the time was because his father was dealing with a 'serious, life-threatening illness.' More than a week passed, and Lucas' name wasn't entered into the portal. The NCAA mandates that a school has to enter a player's name into the transfer portal within 48 hours of the player filling out the paperwork. When Wisconsin didn't, it started a protracted standoff between Lucas and the school. 'At the moment, Wisconsin is refusing to release me into the transfer portal,' Lucas wrote on social media on Dec. 27, eight days after his initial announcement about transferring. 'I've met all NCAA requirements of the transfer portal by Wisconsin which is impeding my ability to speak with schools.' Lucas formally left Wisconsin and enrolled academically at Miami on Jan. 17 despite never actually entering the transfer portal. The NCAA said in a statement to Yahoo at the time that its rules 'do not prevent a student-athlete from unenrolling from an institution, enrolling at a new institution and competing immediately.' Wisconsin, however, said shortly afterward that Lucas' transfer violated a 'binding two-year NIL agreement' and that the school had 'credible information indicating impermissible contact' between Lucas and UM football personnel. 'Direct interference with another institution's committed player and contractual interests is prohibited by NCAA tampering rules and the law,' the Wisconsin statement from Jan. 18 said, which also added that the school will 'evaluate all options going forward to determine the appropriate course of action.' In 11 games for Wisconsin, Lucas recorded 18 tackles, one interception and three defended passes. Lucas was a Miami Herald first-team All-County football selection as a senior at American Heritage and was also a standout sprinter and long jumper on the Patriots' track and field team. Lucas is one of four cornerbacks the Hurricanes added via transfer following the 2024 season, joining Michigan State's Charles Brantley, Washington State's Ethan O'Connor and Houston's Keionte Scott. A fifth, Arizona's Emmanuel Karnley, transferred to UM ahead of spring and then transferred out following spring ball. Lucas has three years of collegiate eligibility remaining.
