Browns All-Pro DE Myles Garrett ticketed after police say he drove 100 mph in Cleveland suburb
The Strongsville Police Department stopped Garrett just after 2 a.m. Saturday in a 60 mph zone on Interstate 71 near the Ohio Turnpike, according to a citation.
Garrett is scheduled to appear in court on Thursday but he could pay a $250 fine without appearing. Garrett is expected to be with the Browns in Philadelphia for a joint workout with the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles.
Garrett was stopped less than an hour after the Browns landed at Hopkins International Airport after their 30-10 victory over the Carolina Panthers.
It is the second time in less than two months a Browns player has been stopped by Strongsville Police for speeding. On June 17, Shedeur Sanders was stopped for going 101 mph near the same stretch of highway as Garrett.
In 2022, Garrett flipped his Porsche when he veered off a rural road near his home following practice. He suffered a sprained shoulder, strained biceps, cuts and bruises in the wreck and was cited for failure to control his vehicle and unsafe speed.

Man accused of faking death to avoid rape charges guilty of sexual assault
A Rhode Island man accused of faking his death and fleeing the United States to evade rape charges was found guilty of sexually assaulting a former girlfriend in his first of two Utah trials. A jury in Salt Lake County found Nicholas Rossi guilty of a 2008 rape after a three-day trial in which his accuser and her parents took the stand.

He will be sentenced in the case on October 20 and is set to stand trial in September for another rape charge in Utah County. First-degree felony rape carries a punishment in Utah of five years to life in prison, said Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. Mr Gill said: 'We are grateful to the survivor in this case for her willingness to come forward, years after this attack took place. Advertisement 'We appreciate her patience as we worked to bring the defendant back to Salt Lake County so that this trial could take place and she could get justice. 'It took courage and bravery to take the stand and confront her attacker to hold him accountable.' Utah authorities began searching for Rossi, whose legal name is Nicholas Alahverdian, when he was identified through a decade-old DNA rape kit in 2018. Nicholas Rossi was arrested in Scotland, but claimed he was the victim of mistaken identity. He was extradited to the US in January 2024 (Andrew Milligan/PA) He was among thousands of rape suspects identified and later charged when the state made a push to clear its rape kit backlog. Advertisement Months after he was charged in Utah County, an online obituary claimed Rossi had died on February 29 2020, of late-stage non-Hodgkin lymphoma. But police in his home state of Rhode Island, along with his former lawyer and a former foster family, cast doubt on whether he was dead. He was arrested in Scotland the following year while receiving treatment for Covid-19 after hospital staff in Glasgow recognised his distinctive tattoos from an Interpol notice. Rossi said he was the victim of mistaken identity, claiming to be an Irish orphan named Arthur Knight who was being framed. Advertisement Months of court proceedings in Edinburgh followed but in November 2022, Sheriff Norman McFadyen determined the man claiming to be Knight was indeed Rossi. A hearing took place in June 2023, with Sheriff McFadyen ruling there was no barrier to Rossi's extradition. An extradition warrant was signed in September 2023 and Rossi was finally sent to the US in January 2024. Investigators say they identified at least a dozen aliases Rossi used over the years to evade capture. Throughout trials in Scotland and the US, Rossi appeared in a wheelchair and sometimes with an oxygen mask (Andrew Milligan/PA) He appeared in court this week in a wheelchair, wearing a suit and tie and using an oxygen tank. Advertisement Throughout the trial, prosecutors painted a picture of an intelligent man who used his charm to take advantage of a vulnerable young woman. She was living with her parents and recovering from a traumatic brain injury when she responded to a personal ad Rossi posted on Craigslist. They began dating and were engaged within about two weeks. On Monday, the woman described being asked to pay for their dates, cover Rossi's car repairs, lend him 1,000 dollars so he wouldn't be evicted from his apartment and take on debt to buy their engagement rings. He grew hostile soon after their engagement and raped her in his bedroom one night after she drove him home, she testified. The woman said dismissive comments from her parents convinced her not to go to the police at the time. She came forward a decade later after she saw him in the news and learned he was accused of another rape from the same year. Rossi's lawyers sought to convince the jury that his accuser built up years of resentment after he made her foot the bill for everything in their month-long relationship. They argued she accused him of rape to get back at him years later, when he was getting media attention. Nicholas Rossi is set to stand trial in September for another rape charge in Utah County (Firecrest Films/AP) Lawyers for Rossi did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment after the verdict. Rossi's accuser in the Utah County case did, however, go to the police at the time. She gave evidence on Tuesday about her own experiences with Rossi, though he will not stand trial for that rape charge until next month. Rossi is accused of attacking the second woman, another former girlfriend, at his apartment in Orem in September 2008 after she came to collect money she said he stole from her to buy a computer. When police initially interviewed Rossi, he claimed she had raped him and threatened to have him killed. Rossi grew up in foster homes in Rhode Island and had returned there before allegedly faking his death. He was previously wanted in the state for failing to register as a sex offender. The FBI has said he also faces fraud charges in Ohio, where he was convicted of sex-related charges in 2008.

Trump news at a glance: president eyes ‘long-term' DC police takeover; warns Putin of consequences if no ceasefire reached
After deploying the national guard to the streets of the American capital, Donald Trump is now eyeing longer-term powers over authorities, saying on Wednesday that he is seeking to extend his temporary powers over Washington DC's police department. Trump earlier this week invoked a never-before-used clause of the law that sets out the federal district's governance structure to take temporary control of the police department, but will need Congress's permission to extend it beyond the 30 days allowed under the statute. 'We're going to need a crime bill that we're going to be putting in, and it's going to pertain initially to DC,' Trump said. He alluded to other options for extending control of the police department, saying 'if it's a national emergency, we can do it without Congress'. Here are the key stories at a glance: Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would ask Congress for 'long-term' control of Washington DC's police department and signaled he expected other Democratic-led cities to change their laws in response to his deployment of national guard troops and federal agents into the capital. The president's comments came as the White House took credit for dozens of arrests overnight in Washington as part of Trump's campaign to fight a 'crime crisis', which its leaders say does not exist. Read the full story Vladimir Putin will face 'very severe consequences' if he does not agree a ceasefire in the war in Ukraine at his summit with Donald Trump in Alaska, the US president said on Wednesday. Speaking after a call with Volodymyr Zelenskyy and other European leaders, including Britain's Keir Starmer, Trump also suggested he would push for a second summit if his meeting with Putin goes well – this time including his Ukrainian counterpart.

DC braces for massive turning point in Trump's takeover as protesters take the streets shouting 'Go home, fascists'
Washington DC is bracing for an influx of armed troops to crack down on crime as President Trump's federal takeover was expected to launch into its next stage. Trump vowed earlier this week to clean up the streets of the capital and has already sent hundreds of troops with the National Guard in to clean up crime. More are on the way however, with officials saying they will have between 100 and 200 soldiers out on patrol at any given time as more arrive in the city, Col. Dave Butler said. 'D.C. has been under siege from thugs and killers, but now, D.C. is back under Federal Control where it belongs. The White House is in charge,' Trump said on Truth Social Wednesday night. 'The Military and our Great Police will liberate this City, scrape away the filth, and make it safe, clean, habitable and beautiful once more!' After the announcement, residents started lining up to protest the crackdown. 'Go home, fascists' and 'Get off our streets,' the protesters shouted. Law enforcement set up a vehicle checkpoint along the busy 14th Street Northwest corridor. Some protesters stood at the intersection before the checkpoint and urged drivers to turn away from it, while shouting at officers to 'take off their f****** masks'. Day two of President Donald Trump's takeover of D.C. Check points monitored by federal law enforcement officers have been set up on 14th Street in Washington D.C. — Elaine (@MallonElaine) August 14, 2025 Images also emerged on Wednesday night of one individual being arrested by officers, authorities say he was driving without a license. The commander-in-chief on Monday said the plan was to 'rescue our nation's capital from crime, bloodshed, bedlam and squalor'. Trump has repeatedly said that crime in the city was at emergency levels that required a federal intervention to straighten out. District of Columbia leaders however pointed to stats that show violent crime was at a 30-year-low after a sharp rise two years ago. Over the last few days small groups of officers had been visible in scattered areas across the city. Their presence was more noticeable on Wednesday as the amount of boots on the ground continued to rise. A National Guard spokesman, who spoke with the Associated Press anonymously, said troops would start carrying out more missions on Thursday. On Wednesday, agents from Homeland Security Investigations patrolled the popular U Street corridor. Drug Enforcement Administration officers were seen on the National Mall, while National Guard members were parked nearby. DEA agents also joined Metropolitan Police Department officers on patrol in the Navy Yard neighborhood, while FBI agents stood along Massachusetts Avenue. Hundreds of federal law enforcement and cops who patrolled the streets Tuesday night made 43 arrests, compared with about two dozen the night before. The arrests made by 1,450 federal and local officers across the city included those for suspicion of driving under the influence and unlawful entry, as well as a warrant for assault with a deadly weapon, according to the White House. Seven illegal firearms were seized. There have now been more than 100 arrests since Trump began beefing up the federal law enforcement presence in Washington last week, White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said. Trump suggested he could seek a longer period of control or decide to call on Congress to exercise authority over city laws his administration sees as lax on crime. 'We're gonna do this very quickly. But we're gonna want extensions. I don't want to call a national emergency. If I have to, I will,' he said. His Wednesday night post added: 'D.C. has been under siege from thugs and killers, but now, D.C. is back under Federal Control where it belongs. The White House is in charge.' Police Chief Pamela Smith said during an interview with the local Fox affiliate that the city's Metro Police Department has been down nearly 800 officers. She said the increased number of federal agents on the streets would help fill that gap, at least for now. DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, who described the move on Tuesday as being 'authoritarian', said officials did not get any specific goals for the surge during a meeting with Trump's attorney general, Pam Bondi. She said: 'I think they regard it as a success to have more presence and take more guns off the street, and we do too.' On Monday, the president also teased this type of action could extend to other major cities including New York City and Chicago. 'This will go further,' the President said. 'We're going to take back our capital … and then we'll look at other cities also,' before he singled out Chicago, LA, New York, Baltimore, and Oakland.
