Ohio State coach Kevin McGuff facing DUI charge
May 13 - Ohio State women's basketball coach Kevin McGuff is facing a drunken-driving charge after police said they found him parked in his front yard last week in Dublin, Ohio.
On Tuesday, authorities confirmed McGuff's arrest on May 6 for operating a vehicle while intoxicated.
The incident report released Tuesday said Dublin officers located McGuff, 55, inside a Toyota SUV that was partially parked on his lawn.
Another driver had called police to report a vehicle driving recklessly and striking several curbs, officials said.
Responding officers performed several field sobriety tests, including asking McGuff to say the alphabet from D to R.
"Kevin could only say 'D' and could not recite any other letters," read the police report obtained by the Columbus Dispatch.
McGuff refused a breathalyzer test and was taken into custody and charged with OVI, a first-degree misdemeanor. He was released about an hour later into his wife's custody.
Ohio State's athletic department said it was aware of the arrest and is "monitoring the situation closely."
"This is an ongoing, personal legal matter, and the department will share additional information at the appropriate time," a school spokesperson said.
McGuff has a 276-113 record since taking over at Ohio State in 2013. The Buckeyes have reached the NCAA Tournament eight times under his leadership, including 2024-25 when they finished with a 26-7 record. He was the Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2023-24.

BREAKING NEWS Brittney Griner finally breaks silence on viral footage of angry moment in game against Caitlin Clark
Brittney Griner 'can't remember' what she said in the viral clip after she fouled out against the Indiana Fever last month - but she knows it wasn't a racist slur. After taking her seat on the sideline at State Farm Arena, TV cameras spotted a furious Griner ranting in frustration, with viewers torn on what the Atlanta Dream star said. The 34-year-old first appeared to say 'trash' at the end of a sentence before pausing and continuing her tirade, with a number of users on X alleging that she said 'f***ing white girl' in a racist insult aimed towards Fever sensation Caitlin Clark. Others, however, were adamant that she did not use those words on the night, insisting she was actually moaning that the referee had made a 'f***ing wack call' by penalizing her for the sixth time in the game. A few weeks on, Griner has vehemently denied using a racist slur after finally speaking out on the video, despite not remembering exactly what she said. When asked by Outkick reporter Dan Zaksheske if it was possible that she said 'f***ing white girl', the Dream center insisted: 'No, I would never say that. There's no place for that in our league, I wouldn't say that. I was mad about a call. After the game, I asked Brittney Griner if it was possible that she said "f***ing white girl" after fouling out against the Indiana Fever, even though she couldn't remember what she said. "I know it wasn't that because I wouldn't use that type of language," she said. — Dan Zaksheske (@RealDanZak) June 15, 2025 'I know it wasn't that because I wouldn't use that type of language.' Alongside a clip of the rant, Riley Gaines - who has become a leading conservative voice in recent years - condemned Griner over the alleged racist remark in a post on X. 'Just a reminder: this is who we traded for the Russian Merchant of Death,' Gainers wrote. 'Now imagine if Clark had said the inverse.' Griner, of course, missed the 2022 season when she was detained for nearly 10 months in Russia after authorities said a search of her luggage revealed vape cartridges containing oil derived from cannabis, before she was freed in a prisoner swap. One person who didn't agree with Gaines' take on the video of Griner was ex-ESPN host Jemele Hill, who took to social media to hit back at the ex-swimmer. Hill responded: 'I get that your whole personality is caught up in stuff like this, so you don't care about spreading misinformation. '1) the foul call made on her had nothing to do with Caitlin Clark. It was because she fouled Natasha Howard.

Minnesota gunman ‘motivated by hatred of abortion'
The gunman suspected of fatally shooting a Democratic politician and her husband in their Minnesota home was an evangelical Christian who had a list of targets of people who advocated for abortion. Vance Luther Boelter, 57, is said to have 'hated' abortion but had kept quiet about it for years, according to a friend of more than five decades. Police are searching for Mr Boelter after Melissa Hortman, the Democratic speaker in Minnesota's House of Representatives, and her husband were shot dead in the early hours of Saturday. John Hoffman, a Democratic state senator, and his spouse were also shot multiple times. Both have undergone surgery and are expected to survive. Mr Boelter, an evangelical Christian who travelled to Africa and the Middle East to preach, left a list of targets including Democrats and figures linked to Planned Parenthood or the pro-choice movement in his car, according to reports. He is alleged to have impersonated a police officer and drove what appeared to be a police SUV equipped with emergency lights to carry out the attack. Mr Boelter also had fliers for anti-Trump 'no kings' protests in his car. Ms Hortman used her position as speaker in 2023 to champion expanded protections for abortion rights, including legislation to solidify Minnesota's status as a refuge for patients from restrictive states who travel to the state to seek abortions – and to protect providers who serve them. Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat senator for Minnesota, said she believed abortion was a motivation for Mr Boelter. 'It was politically motivated, and there clearly was some throughline with abortion because of the groups that were on the list, and other things that I've heard were in this manifesto. So that was one of his motivations,' she told NBC's Meet The Press. 'We believe he's somewhere in the vicinity and that they are going to find him... But right now, everyone's on edge here, because we know that this man will kill at a second', she said. On Saturday morning the suspect texted David Carlson, a long-standing friend who he lived with for part of the week, saying: 'I've made some choices and you guys don't know anything about this, but I'm going to be gone for a while. I'll be dead shortly. So I just want to let you know that I love you guys both. And wish it hadn't gone this way. 'I don't want to say anything more, and implicate you in any way because you guys don't know anything about this, but I love you guys and I'm sorry for all the trouble this has caused.' Mr Boelter was appointed to the workforce development board in 2016 and then reappointed by Tim Walz in 2019 to a four-year term that expired in 2023. Ms Hoffman served on the same board, though it was not clear if or how well they knew each other. Mr Walz, Kamala Harris's former running mate, is also understood to have been on the list of targets. Donald Trump said he 'may' call Mr Walz about the targeted attacks. 'Well, it's a terrible thing. I think he's a terrible governor. I think he's a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too,' he told ABC. Mr Walz spoke with JD Vance, the vice-president, on Saturday. Mr Walz expressed thanks for the coordination between federal law enforcement and state public safety officials, according to CNN. The attacks prompted warnings to other state elected officials and the cancellation of planned anti-Trump demonstrations over fears they could be targeted. Some protests went ahead anyway, including one that drew tens of thousands to the State Capitol. Law enforcement agents recovered several AK-style firearms from the suspect's vehicle, and he was believed to still be armed with a pistol, officials said. The shootings happened at a time when political leaders nationwide have been attacked, harassed and intimidated amid deep political divisions. 'We must all, in Minnesota and across the country, stand against all forms of political violence,' Mr Walz said. 'Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place!' Mr Trump said in a statement. Police responded to reports of gunfire at the Mr Hoffman's home shortly after 2 am, Champlin police said, and found the couple with multiple gunshot wounds. Police sent officers to proactively check on Ms Hortman's home. There they encountered what appeared to be a police vehicle and a man dressed as an officer at the door, leaving the house. 'When officers confronted him, the individual immediately fired upon the officers who exchanged gunfire, and the suspect retreated back into the home' and escaped on foot, said Mark Bruley, the Brooklyn Park police chief. Authorities believe the shooter was wearing a mask when carrying out the attacks, according to a law enforcement official. The FBI released photos of the suspect including an image that appears to show him wearing a mask that covered his face and head, a police uniform, and holding a flashlight. Mr Boelter is chief executive of Praetorian Guard Security Services, and has armed security experience across the Middle East, Africa, Eastern Europe and North America, according to a biography on its website.

Washington Post investigating cyberattack on journalists, WSJ reports
June 15 (Reuters) - A cyberattack on the Washington Post compromised the email accounts of several journalists and was most likely the work of a foreign government, the Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday. Matt Murray, the Washington Post's executive editor, said in an internal memo that the breach was discovered on Thursday and an investigation had been initiated, the WSJ reported. Staffers at the Washington Post were told the intrusions compromised journalists' Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab accounts and could have granted the intruder access to work emails, the WSJ reported, citing people familiar with the situation. The reporters whose emails were targeted included members of the national security and economic policy teams, including some who write about China, the report added. The Washington Post did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment. In 2022, News Corp (NWSA.O), opens new tab, which publishes the WSJ, was breached, opens new tab by digital intruders. The email accounts and data of an unspecified number of journalists were compromised in that incident.
