‘Drunk' man steals golf cart and drives it along the moving walkways at Buffalo airport
Video footage taken by eyewitnesses on Monday (28 July) shows a man, which police claim is Kevin Sinning, 29, driving the hijacked vehicle around the terminal.
The recording appears to show Sinning sitting behind the wheel of the white buggy as he drove up and down moving walkways, smashing some of the glass panelling as airport workers can be heard shouting at him to stop.
Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority officials said Sinning was 'visibly intoxicated'.
Sinning was eventually arrested and has been charged with criminal mischief, disorderly conduct, criminal possession of stolen property, criminal nuisance and grand larceny.

Diddy receives unlikely letter of support from prosecutor's MIA star witness in bid to escape prison time
Sean ' Diddy ' Combs has received support from an unlikely ally in his fight to escape lengthy prison time as one of his alleged victims urged a judge to free him. The disgraced music mogul, who was recently acquitted of serious sex trafficking and racketeering charges, still faces up to 10 years behind bars after he was convicted of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. But his ex-girlfriend Gina Huynh, who was identified as 'Victim Number 3' and was initially expected to testify against him before going MIA at his trial, has penned a letter to the court supporting Diddy's bid for bail. 'I do not view Mr Combs as a danger to me or the community,' she wrote in the letter, seen by the Daily Mail. 'To my knowledge, he has not been violent for many years and he has been committed to being a father first.' Huynh wrote in her supporting letter that by the time she and Diddy had ended their relationship, he 'embodied an energy of love, patience and gentleness that was markedly different from his past behavior.' 'Our relationship, like many, was not always perfect,' she noted. 'We experienced ups and downs, and mistakes were made, but he was willing to acknowledge his mistakes and make better decisions in the future. 'Over the years that followed, he made visible efforts to become a better person and to address the harm he had caused.' Huynh mysteriously went MIA during his high profile trial, taking no part in it despite earlier expectations she would act as a star witness for the prosecution. Prosecutors told the judge they were unable to get in touch with 'Victim 3' when she was due to appear. Her testimony was supposed to bolster the prosecution's case against the Diddy and support the racketeering and sex-trafficking charges he was acquitted of. Jurors ultimately cleared him of three charges, two of which carried a mandatory 15 years and a maximum of life. The day before the verdict was handed down, TMZ asked Huynh if the thought of a potential acquittal made her fear for her life. 'He never did anything dangerous to me. I'm not scared,' she said, contradicting previous claims she had been the victim of abuse. In 2019, she claimed the mogul once 'stomped' on her stomach and repeatedly punched her in the head during one disturbing encounter. 'He stomped on my stomach really hard — like, took the wind out of my breath,' Gina said in her interview with controversial blogger Tasha K. 'I couldn't breathe. He kept hitting me. I was pleading to him, "Can you just stop? I can't breathe."' Huynh claimed at the time that Diddy had punched her in the head at other times, and her hair would cover signs of her injuries. 'He was mentally, emotionally and physically abusing me,' she also claimed. 'He would always compare me to Cassie and tell me that I'm the bad one, she's a good one.' The pair met in 2013 in Las Vegas. Their romance began a year later and, according to Huynh, they dated for five years. Diddy is waiting to learn his fate for the charges he was convicted of. He was found guilty of flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act. His defense lawyers said that under federal sentencing guidelines, he would likely face about two years in prison. Prosecutors, citing Diddy's violence and other factors, said the guidelines would call for at least four to five years. Locked up since his September arrest, Diddy has already served nine months. 'We fight on and we're going to win,' Agnifilo said. 'And we're not going to stop until he walks out of prison a free man to his family.'

Third child dies nearly a week after a boat collision near Miami, Coast Guard says
The U.S. Coast Guard says a third child has died nearly a week after a barge struck and sank a boat during a sailing camp near Miami. All six people on the sailboat were pulled from the water after the collision, and four kids were rushed to a hospital where two were pronounced dead last Monday. A 10-year-old girl who was in critical condition died on Sunday, according to a Coast Guard statement. 'Our hearts continue to mourn with all those impacted by Monday's tragic incident, especially with the passing of another one of Miami's children today,' Coast Guard Capt. Frank Florio said. Officials didn't immediately identify any of the victims or release a cause for the crash. Salvage operations began Tuesday. 'The Coast Guard remains committed to conducting a thorough investigation to ensure all facts are uncovered," Florio said. The collision between a barge and the sailboat occurred in Biscayne Bay, between Miami and Miami Beach. Everyone on the sailboat, a teenage sailing camp counselor and five children, ended up in the water. They were in their last week of a camp for children aged 7 to 15, according to the Miami Yacht Club. A 7-year-old girl and a 13-year-old girl were pronounced dead shortly after arriving at the hospital. An 8-year-old girl was in critical condition as of Tuesday. A 19-year-old woman and a 12-year-old girl were rescued but not hospitalized. Across the U.S. last year, there were over 550 deaths in recreational boating, but only a sliver of those — 43 — were caused by vessels crashing into each other, according to Coast Guard statistics.

White House denies Stephen Miller's alleged ‘arrest targets' for ICE agents exist
White House attorneys have denied that the Department of Homeland Security gave ICE agents specific targets for immigrant arrests, despite previous statements from senior advisor Stephen Miller. In a court filing last week, reported by The Guardian, lawyers said that although an advisor may have made the remarks, that 'no such goal has been set as a matter of policy, and no such directive has been issued to or by DHS or ICE.' Miller told Fox News in June that agents had been set a target of a 'minimum' of 3,000 arrests a day, as well as reportedly advising officials to target community hubs, Home Depot parking lots and 7-Eleven convenience stores to find suspects, according to The Wall Street Journal. A report in Axios also detailed a 'tense' meeting attended by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Miller in late May, in which they told senior ICE agents to supercharge arrests in order to hit the 3,000 target. 'DHS has confirmed that neither ICE leadership nor its field offices have been directed to meet any numerical quota or target for arrests, detentions, removals, field encounters, or any other operational activities that ICE or its components undertake in the course of enforcing federal immigration law,' the court filing read. '[The] allegation that the government maintains a policy mandating 3,000 arrests per day appears to originate from media reports quoting a White House advisor who described that figure as a 'goal' that the Administration was 'looking to set.' 'That quotation may have been accurate, but no such goal has been set as a matter of policy, and no such directive has been issued to or by DHS or ICE.' The filing added that, while enforcement of federal immigration law was 'top priority for DHS, ICE, and the Administration,' that all government enforcement activities were based on 'individualized assessments, available resources, and evolving operational priorities – not volume metrics.' Despite this claim, the WSJ previously reported that Miller had asked top ICE officials in June if they believed it was possible to reach one million deportations by the end of the year, citing people with knowledge of the meeting. To achieve this, he told law enforcement to 'just go out there and arrest illegal aliens,' the outlet reported. However, such a hardline stance has been defended previously by the Trump administration, including Donald Trump 's 'border czar' Tom Homan. Last month Homan said that although public safety threats were a priority, those who were in the country illegally were 'not off the table,' in regards to deportation. 'We're gonna enforce immigration law,' he said.
