Shocking details emerge in Quadruple suspect Austin Drummond's cushy jail life, here's all you need to know
Quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond lived in shocking comfort during his 13-year prison term, posting Facebook photos of his cell stocked with Ciroc vodka, Roku streaming devices, video games, and cellphones. One November 2023 photo showed him holding vodka with the caption: 'Almost home living it up'. Experts say this contraband points to major security failures. "Prison staff showed irresponsibility and neglect," said former NYPD detective Pat Brosnan, noting mandatory "shakedowns" should catch banned items. Drummond faced four prior contraband charges but kept accessing luxury goods, possibly with staff help. On July 29, Drummond allegedly murdered four relatives in Lake County: parents James Wilson (21) and Adrianna Williams (20), grandmother Cortney Rose (38), and teen uncle Braydon Williams (15). Their bodies were found in woods near Tiptonville, hours after their 7-month-old daughter was abandoned in a stranger's yard in Tigrett. Authorities called the baby's abandonment a "sign of compassion" that ensured her safety. Drummond, who reportedly dated Rose's sister, had a "familial relationship" with the victims, though his motive remains unclear. Despite warnings, Drummond was freed in September 2024 after serving time for armed robbery and prison retaliation charges. In 2020, District Attorney Jody Pickens urged parole boards to keep him jailed, calling Drummond a "confirmed Vice Lords gang member" with 25+ discipline violations including weapons possession and assaults. Over 12 agencies hunt Drummond across Tennessee after he was spotted August 4 in camouflage, armed with a rifle, near Jackson. Three associates, Tanaka Brown, Giovonte Thomas, and Dearrah Sanders, face charges for helping him evade capture. Authorities recovered his white Audi and Ford truck but warn he remains 'armed and dangerous'. A $32,500 reward is offered for tips leading to his arrest. Residents are urged to lock doors and report sightings to the Dyer County Police Department using 1-800-TBI-FIND.

In Mamdani battle, Vivek Ramaswamy invites crime-hit to Ohio townhall
In a move seemingly aimed at projecting Ohio as a model state for public accountability, strong law enforcement, and a "refuge from progressive governance", Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy invited victims of crime to a townhall meeting in Cincinnati. The event also seemingly served as yet another indirect jab at Democratic Socialist leader Zohran Mamdani, who is New York City's mayoral primary winner. Mamdani is a vocal critic of traditional policing methods, contrasting with Ramaswamy's tough-on-crime townhall comes just weeks after a digital billboard in New York City's Times Square, funded by the pro-Ramaswamy "Vivek Super PAC – Victors, not Victims (VPAC)," urged residents to flee what it called the socialist "tyranny" of 33-year-old Mamdani and "move to Ohio." The provocative ad campaign in July underscored Ramaswamy's strategy of contrasting Ohio's image with the liberal stance of July campaign declared, "For those New Yorkers who have had enough, freedom and prosperity are waiting for you in Ohio," positioning the state as a stark alternative to New York. This also appears to be an attempt to signal that Ohio offers stronger law and order and greater public accountability – factors often seen as crucial for attracting the townhall meeting on Monday (US time), Ramaswamy focused on public safety and addressed mounting concerns over crime in the CALLS FOR STRONGER LAW ENFORCEMENTThe Indian-American politician spoke directly in the aftermath of a widely circulated street altercation that took place on July 26, describing it as a reflection of deeper issues affecting urban communities across a moving speech, Sarah Heringer, whose husband was stabbed to death in the city, laid blame at the feet of city leadership, accusing officials of "negligence, silence and cowardice" for failing to protect her emphasised the need for stronger law enforcement support and community-led solutions, as residents voiced frustration over what they see as a growing sense of insecurity in local Republican leader pointed to the recent attack as a wake-up call."We're here because less than two weeks ago... there was a group of people going out in their city who were violently attacked by a violent mob in the city of Cincinnati," Ramaswamy said, Cincinnati-based newspaper Cincinnati Enquirer guests were invited and attended the townhall, including Cincinnati mayoral candidate Cory Bowman and Heringer, whose husband Patrick Heringer was stabbed to death in Over-the-Rhine earlier this year, WLWT5, a news portal, gave an emotional speech that recounted the night her husband died and blamed city leaders for the this. You're asleep. You wake up to a man standing over your bed with a weapon. How did he get there? Because someone made a decision, because someone signed a paper, because someone did nothing. That's what leadership looks like in Cincinnati: negligence, silence and cowardice," Heringer was quoted as saying Cincinnati Enquirer."When he needed protection, this city gave him nothing, not even basic safety," Heringer said of her husband. "The city failed him," she TAKES A SWIPE AT ANTI-LAW ENFORCEMENT CULTURERamaswamy pointed to the suspect's parole status as evidence of deeper flaws in the criminal justice system that he says require urgent reform."We need leaders who are going to act with spine... not sweeping these issues under the rug," Ohio-based public broadcaster, Ideastream Public Media, quoted Ramaswamy as of the townhall, Ramaswamy also spoke to Fox News Digital, where he condemned what he called an "anti-law enforcement culture", a remark that appeared to be a veiled swipe at Mamdani and other Democratic leaders.A video showing a group of people being badly beaten in downtown Cincinnati led Ramaswamy to speak out, saying there's a growing attitude in the country that disrespects the police and makes crime worse, according to a report in Fox called the beating of Holly, a woman in the video who apparently was attempting to intervene to help another victim, "totally unconscionable", according to the video shows a group attacking two people, including Holly who suffered serious brain injuries. The assault happened in the early hours of July 26 near the corner of Fourth and Elm streets, just outside a well-known shared that he has been in contact with Holly after first reaching out to her to check in on her well-being after the beating. He previously revealed Holly told him that no local elected officials reached out to her after the incident, Fox News Police Chief Teresa Theetge announced at a press conference that six people were injured in the incident. So far, six suspects have been charged, with four already in custody. The city's fugitive task force is actively searching for the remaining two who are still on the the many onlookers who failed to act during the beating, Ramaswamy commented, "It is sad to see the anti-law enforcement culture, the anti-rule of law culture spread across our country."advertisement"I think there are deeper issues relating to just people being agnostic to the rule of the law, people being desensitised to this kind of violence," he was quoted as saying by Fox News."At our best as human beings, that's not who we are. We feel compassion when something like this happens. Ignoring it is not compassion. Ignoring is cruelty," he called for more "open dialogue" rather than "sweeping these issues under the rug", Fox News RALLY AGAINST RAMASWAMYProtesters assembled across the street from the townhall to express their opposition to Ramaswamy and criticise how he and other conservative leaders had portrayed the July 26 Feist is a Cincinnati resident who came out to protest Ramaswamy. He called the July 26 fight "very unfortunate" but felt it was a complex situation that has been used for political ends by Ramaswamy and others, Ideastream Public Media reported."They take one incident out of context and it's really, really upsetting," he held signs that said that "we love our city," and "Cincinnati is united against racism," WLWT5 protesters' main point was to argue that Cincinnati is safe to live, work and play. Many said they feel safe and live within the city, according to the report.- EndsMust Watch

Forged signatures found on New York Mayor Eric Adams' re-election petition: Report
More than 50 signatures submitted on New York City Mayor Eric Adams' petition to run as an independent candidate in the upcoming November election appear to be fraudulent, according to a Gothamist investigation reported by The Guardian. The findings include three signatures from deceased individuals and dozens more from people who claimed their names were forged. The Gothamist also reportedly spoke to several residents who said they were misled into signing the documents. Candidates running as independents are required to submit at least 7,500 valid signatures to qualify for the ballot. Adams' campaign submitted nearly 50,000 signatures, well above the threshold. The questionable entries reportedly came from nine campaign workers who together submitted over 5,000 signatures. One person allegedly collected more than 700 in a single day. In some instances, the Gothamist observed strikingly similar handwriting among multiple entries from the same apartment building. Adams' campaign had earlier told the Gothamist it expected contractors to follow legal procedures and said it would conduct its own audit of the petitions. An attorney for the mayor said there is no evidence Adams instructed anyone to break the law and added that the campaign would 'determine whether any corrective action is warranted,' reported The Guardian. Veteran election law expert Jerry Goldfeder noted that while invalid signatures are not unusual, cases involving blatant fraud can lead to criminal referrals. 'Every now and again, somebody tries to cut corners, and they're generally caught,' Goldfeder said as per The Guardian. 'Sometimes those cases are referred to the district attorney or the US attorney, and there are prosecutions.' The revelation comes as Adams faces stiff competition in the November 4 election. His challengers include Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, and ex-prosecutor Jim Walden. Cuomo and Walden, like Adams, are running as independents. The election takes place amid heightened public concern after a gunman shot and killed four people in a Midtown office building earlier this week. Among the victims was off-duty NYPD officer Didarul Islam. Adams' administration has urged New Yorkers to seek mental health support in the aftermath of the attack. Meanwhile, Mamdani has sought to distance himself from past calls to defund the NYPD, saying Wednesday, according to The Guardian: 'I'm not running to defund the police… I am running as a candidate who is not fixed in time, one that learns and one that leads.'
