Dodge Charger Sows Chaos For Arkansas Troopers On Independence Day
A guy in a Dodge Charger Scat Pack gave Arkansas troopers a real run for their money on Independence Day this year. Dashcam footage of the chase, which involved quite a few ASP units, shows the guy really uncorked the performance on his Mopar muscle car, almost literally running circles around troopers.The dashcam footage starts with our camera car waiting for the purple Dodge Charger Scat Pack to come along. Sure enough, it blasts into the frame and the trooper gives chase as they both find their way around slower traffic blocking both lanes.
From there, the suspect gaps the trooper big time, then disappears on the horizon. In other words, the guy just smoked the trooper after ditching one right before.
Thankfully, ASP has troopers stationed all over and they're looking for the distinct Mopar. One spots the suspect, who'd probably feeling pretty smug by that point, and another chase ensues once the trooper goes code three.
It's the same story as before, the Scat Pack easily gapping the cop car. However, that trooper stays on the suspect along with some other nearby units. From there, the footage jumps from one ASP unit to another because none of them can keep up with the guy.
But ASP is swarming the area in an effort to put an end to the dangerous chase. We see one trooper almost run into a bystander's car, thankfully stopping just in time, as well as other close calls.
At one point, towards the end of the pursuit, the suspect dodges a Stop Stick as it's thrown right in front of him, so the guy has good reflexes.
Funny enough, what takes out the fleeing Dodge Charger Scat Pack in the end is a roundabout. The guy must've not realized one was coming up, and at his breakneck speed he just couldn't navigate it, wrecking out into the curb instead.

Fact Check: Don't fall for tale of 'guardian angel' dog rescuing girl los in Texas floods
Claim: A story authentically recounts the experience of a dog saving a 3-year-old girl from the July 2025 Texas flash floods. Rating: A rumor that circulated online in July 2025 claimed a dog rescued a 3-year-old girl from deadly Texas flash floods. The floods during the Fourth of July weekend killed at least 132 people and left rescuers searching for around 170 missing people. For example, on July 9, a Facebook page named My Dogs posted (archived) the story, receiving more than 205,000 reactions, 17,000 comments and 31,000 shares. The post displayed two pictures, each showing a dog protecting a young girl in the aftermath of flooding. (My Dogs/Facebook) The story read as follows: Everyone thought she was gone. A 3-year-old girl vanished just hours before historic floods slammed into Texas — but when rescuers finally found her, she wasn't alone. Curled beside her, covered in mud and shaking, was a dog no one recognized. What this animal had done in the hours before the storm hit is now being called a miracle of instinct and loyalty — and the photos have the entire internet in tears. But the real twist? It wasn't even her dog. One Snopes reader emailed, "Trying to find authenticity with a story circulating on Facebook about a 3-year old girl rescued by a dog from the Texas floods." Another user asked, "Is this story true?" At least three other Facebook posts received high numbers of engagement from users, including reaction counts of 38,000 (archived), 119,000 (archived) and 496,000 (archived). Some of the Facebook posts featured links, either in the posts or in comments, leading to advertisement-filled blog articles. For example, the My Dogs post showed a link to an ad-filled article on an unreliable blog. That blog, as well as several others, lacked trust signals such as author names, legal documentation and other standard information. Other users also shared the same claim on Instagram (archived), TikTok (archived), X (archived) and YouTube (archived). However, searches of Bing, DuckDuckGo, Google and Yahoo found no news media outlets reporting about rescuers finding a dog comforting a lost 3-year-old girl following the Texas floods. Prominent news media outlets would have widely reported this rumor, if true. Rather, whoever authored the story fabricated the entire matter as one of at least dozens of fictional, inspirational tales about the Texas floods. The artificial intelligence-detection websites and all detected at least some AI usage with the writing of the blog articles. Also, a AI-detection scan of the pictures of the girl and dog concluded with a 99% score that someone generated the images with an AI tool. The completely fake pictures showed two different-looking girls and two dogs, as well as inconsistent blood or dirt spots on the girl's shirt. The user or users who knowingly created the fictional story and fake photos about the dog and girl aimed to use the tragedy to earn advertising revenue on the blogs linked from the aforementioned Facebook posts. Snopes contacted a manager of the My Dogs Facebook page to ask about the fictional stories displayed on their feed, and will update this story if we receive more information. More about the false rumor An examination of the My Dogs page, possibly the first account to publish the false story, found its page transparency tab showing its lone manager as residing in Vietnam. Vietnam is one of several countries often appearing as participants in the online world of fabricated, AI-driven misinformation involving celebrities and athletes. The My Dogs Facebook page displayed numerous other fabricated stories — also showing AI-generated photos — about dogs saving children from the Texas floods. For example, one of those stories claimed a dog named Shadow rescued a 6-year-old girl (archived). The post showed a fake image containing signs of AI usage, including a woman much older than 6, as well as displaying two snouts for one dog. It received more than 122,000 reactions, 7,000 comments and 18,000 shares. (My Dogs/Facebook) Other fabricated stories on the My Dogs page included a dog named Rani saving a newborn (archived), a dog named Ramu saving two sisters (archived), an unnamed K9 saving two 10-year-old girls who went missing from a summer camp (archived) and another unnamed dog rescuing a 10-year-old girl named Eli (archived). These stories all very much resembled glurge, which defines as "stories, often sent by email, that are supposed to be true and uplifting, but which are often fabricated and sentimental." Users initially inspired by such fictional tales very often become defensive upon learning the stories aren't true. Instead of admitting the fabrication, they edit their posts or submit new comments, asserting the tale remains inspiring "whether true or not." True stories of pets surviving Texas floods In the aftermath of the Texas floods, there were true heartwarming stories about animals. reported the story of a dog that found a unique way to survive the flooding, with the headline "Dog Reunited with Family After Miraculously Surviving Texas Floods by Hiding in a Washing Machine." Also, NPR published information about volunteers helping to reunite pets with their owners. For further reading, Snopes previously reported on other stories involving the usage of AI following the Texas floods, including rumors claiming WNBA star Caitlin Clark and singer Jelly Roll each donated millions of dollars and traveled to the state to rescue victims. Another AI-powered story — unrelated to the floods — told the fabricated story of 14-year-old Madison Taylor Brooks, who briefly died and received a warning from Jesus Christ about the dangers of a life spent looking at screens.

Relatives, authorities ask for public's help with investigation of Ole Miss player's fatal shooting
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Authorities on Monday asked for members of the public to provide surveillance footage and details from eyewitnesses as they investigate the fatal shooting of an Ole Miss freshman football player in a Memphis neighborhood after a pool party. Corey Adams, an 18-year-old defensive lineman from New Orleans, was found with a gunshot wound inside a vehicle at an intersection in the Memphis suburb of Cordova on Saturday night, said Anthony Buckner, chief deputy of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office. Adams died at the location of the shooting. Four other men who suffered gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening arrived at nearby hospitals in personal vehicles. Three of them had been released from the hospital as of Monday afternoon, Buckner said. The shooting happened after a pool party attended by about 100 people, including Adams, Buckner said during a news conference. About 40 rifle and pistol casings were found at the shooting scene. No arrests have been made. Buckner asked members of the public who may have information useful to investigators, including surveillance footage from video cameras at neighbors' homes, to come forward. 'We have far more questions right now than we have answers,' Buckner said. 'We know people saw something or heard something.' Adams, who played at Edna Carr High School in New Orleans, is listed on the Ole Miss football website as a 6-foot-4-inch, 235-pound defensive end. He had been one of the top defensive lineman recruits in the country. Adams' mother, who spoke at the news conference but declined to be named for fear of retribution, said Adams was a loving son and brother who had hopes of playing in the NFL. He had time off from practice and went to Memphis to enjoy himself, she said. Memphis is about 85 miles (135 kilometers) north of Oxford, Mississippi, where Ole Miss is located. The Edna Karr Cougars said in a Facebook post that 'words can't describe this type of pain.' 'Corey Adams was more than a football player! He was a friend, brother, son, student, and all around great young man,' the team stated. 'We never question God but this is one we just don't understand.' ___ AP college football: and Error!

Before alleged Bay Area post office crash, brother of Pat Tillman documented own unraveling online
Just days before Richard Tillman, brother of the former NFL star and fallen Army Ranger Pat Tillman, allegedly crashed his car into a San Jose post office, he said in a rambling 11-minute YouTube video that he was going to 'take down the system,' including the U.S. government. 'What I need to do is absolutely prove who I am and I will do that,' said Tillman, referring to himself as Yeshua, the Hebrew name for Jesus, and the son of God. 'As far as the next phase of the game, I know what needs to be done.' The cryptic video was among dozens that Tillman, a 44-year-old San Jose resident, posted in recent months documenting his own apparent unraveling. The videos, other social media posts and public records reviewed by the Chronicle show a record of legal trouble, mental health issues and isolation from friends and family in recent years. Tillman was arrested early Sunday after allegedly crashing into the Almaden Valley post office, sparking a fire that caused significant damage. His YouTube channel, which had 1,700 subscribers, was taken down after the incident. It was not immediately clear Tillman's remarks in the video posted last week were directly connected to the alleged post office crash. In the latest video, which has since been removed, Tillman recorded himself talking from inside a parked vehicle as traffic cruised past his window. He wore sunglasses and sported a long beard streaked with gray. He spoke about the 'spiritual realm,' ascension and making the planet evolve, while referring to Richard Tillman in the third person and laughing between bizarre statements. 'I'm not going to harm anyone physically, so there's nothing to worry about,' Tillman said. 'You guys will find out what I'm laughing about one day.' Richard Tillman is the younger brother of Pat Tillman, who left the Arizona Cardinals football team to serve in the U.S. Army after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Pat Tillman was killed by friendly fire in 2004 during a chaotic firefight in his platoon while on duty in Afghanistan. Richard Tillman has pursued careers in acting and stand-up comedy. He also wrote a children's book series in 2015 meant to teach kindness and empathy. In 2019, his wife filed for divorce, which turned into a protracted and contentious legal battle, according to Fresno County records. The couple had two children. At one point during the divorce, a hearing was delayed because Tillman was 'in a mental health facility,' according to court records. A judge granted a temporary restraining order against Tillman to protect his ex-wife, records show. The court gave the wife sole custody of their children in 2021 and granted weekly supervised visits for Tillman. The judge also ordered Tillman to attend counseling for a year after finding that it 'would be in the child's best interest,' records show. Several Facebook posts suggest that Tillman became antagonistic toward friends and family members in recent months and years, even as they offered to assist Tillman in getting mental health treatment. 'I'm here to end you…And all your worthless friends,' Tillman apparently wrote in a message to a family member, according to a screenshot of the exchange he posted on Facebook earlier this year. In the crash on Sunday, fifty personnel from the San Jose Fire Department responded to the post office on the 6500 block of Crown Boulevard shortly before 3 a.m. Sunday and extinguished the fire within two hours, according to the agency. There were no injuries reported. Tillman was arrested at the scene on suspicion of arson and booked into Santa Clara County Jail. He remained in custody as of Monday morning on $60,000 bail, according to county records. It was not the first time Tillman had faced criminal charges. Fresno County court records show that Tillman racked up a series of misdemeanor charges starting in 2023, including for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol, trespassing and twice disobeying a domestic relations court order. Judges issued warrants for his arrest in each case because he failed to appear in court, records show. Before that, local court filings indicate, his record included only a traffic infraction in 2015.
