Social media prankster arrested for Long Island hijinks, including dumping beans on head
A Long Island vandal has been charged with being a social media prankster after several online posts highlighting his menacing antics at businesses and private homes, police said Tuesday. Kyle Vazquez, 21, of Coram in Suffolk County, was charged with dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image, unlawful surveillance and criminal tampering after cops say he dumped a large container of eggs on his head outside Ralph's Italian Ices in Centereach in April and posted video of the prank online. He allegedly then drove off and left a mess of eggs and cracked shells by the entranceway and front door of the sweets shop. A day later, according to cops, a shirtless Vazquez went to a nearby Chinese restaurant, where he walked inside and poured a bucket of beans on his head. Cops said he didn't clean up there either and posted the beans to a social media site too. Cops said Vazquez also took his hijinks operation into several private homes. Last month, at three separate residences, two in Centereach and one in Selden, he requested to use the bathroom and then filmed the residents and the inside of their homes without their knowledge or consent while creating a disturbance, cops said. Vazquez was arrested Monday at the home of a friend, officials said.

Iga Swiatek notches 26th straight win at Roland-Garros, will face Aryna Sabalenka in French Open semifinals
Having been searching for her best form in recent months, Swiatek, who struggled in the previous round, was in total control in the opening set. She was made to work harder by her 13th-seeded Ukrainian rival in the second set, dropping her serve in the fourth game after hitting two straight unforced errors into the net. But Swiatek broke back immediately and took advantage of Svitolina's poor service game to break again with a thunderous forehand return and move up, 6-5. Swiatek sealed the win with a final ace. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Swiatek has won five of the six matches she's played on clay against Sabalenka, including a thrilling three-setter in Spain last year. Advertisement 'The Madrid final against her is one of the best and most exciting finals that I have played,' said Swiatek, who has not won a title or reached a final since her victory at Roland-Garros last year. 'It is always a challenge against Aryna.' Sabalenka is trying to reach her sixth Grand Slam final, and first at Roland-Garros. 'I'm super excited to go out there and to fight and to do everything I need to get the win,' Sabalenka said. Advertisement Sabalenka overcame a shaky start and windy conditions to prevail against Zheng, 7-6 (7-3), 6-3, and extend her record against the Chinese star to 7-1. The score did not fully reflect the closeness of the quarterfinal, though, with so little separating the rivals. But Sabalenka demonstrated why she was No. 1, making the difference on big points, while Zheng struggled with her serve in tense moments. Sabalenka had lost her most recent match against Zheng last month in Rome, having previously dominated their first six encounters. She said that loss was actually a good thing in the middle of an already exhausting season. 'I was actually glad I lost that match, because I needed a little break before Roland-Garros,' Sabalenka said. 'Today, I was just more fresh. I was ready to battle, I was ready to leave everything I had on court to get this win.' Sabalenka, a three-time major champion, has yet to drop a set in Paris. What else happened at the French Open on Tuesday? Lorenzo Musetti reached his first semifinal at the French Open and second at a Grand Slam tournament. The 23-year-old Italian beat Frances Tiafoe of the United States, 6-2, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2, in the same stadium where he won a bronze medal at last year's Olympics. The eighth-seeded Musetti improved to 19-3 this season on red clay. He'll face defending champion Carlos Alcaraz or Tommy Paul on Friday for a berth in the championship match. Musetti and No. 1 Jannik Sinner gave Italy two male quarterfinalists at Roland-Garros for the first time since 1973. Sinner faces unseeded Alexander Bublik in the quarterfinals Wednesday.
