2 suspects arrested at San Jose hotel for alleged sex trafficking of teenage girls
Two men were arrested last month for allegedly assaulting and attempting to sex traffic two teenage girls from a San Jose hotel, police said Monday.
In a press statement, the San Jose Police Department said officers responded to a report of a battery that occurred at a hotel on Monterey Road between Senter Road and Skyway Drive in South San Jose. Two men had driven two sixteen-year-old female survivors to the location and one of the suspects told one of the survivors she was going to work for him and make him money, according to police.
When the survivor tried to leave, the suspect punched her, leaving her with minor injuries but she refused medical treatment at the scene, police said.
The department's Human Trafficking Task Force responded and officers identified the suspects as Peter Supnet and Edwin Dickerson III. Detectives gathered evidence suggesting Supnet and Dickerson III were attempting to sexually traffic the two teenagers, police said.
Both victims were provided with resources at the location and the suspects were taken into custody. They were later booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail for crimes related to human trafficking of minors.
Anyone with information about the case was asked to contact the department's Human Trafficking Task Force at 4860@sanjoseca.gov or by phone at (408) 537-1224.

Former NFL player Kelvin Joseph facing charges after crash that killed motorcyclist
DALLAS — Former NFL player Kelvin Joseph is facing charges for his involvement in a crash that killed a female motorcyclist on a Dallas-area freeway, The Dallas Morning News reported. Police in the Dallas suburb of Richardson said on social media that Joseph, who has been playing in the United Football League this spring, called police in Plano, another Dallas suburb, to report his involvement in the predawn crash Saturday. The 25-year-old Joseph, who was driving a BMW, was arrested on charges of driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and collision involving personal injury or death, a second-degree felony. Police said 27-year-old Cody Morris of Plano was killed in the crash. Joseph was drafted by the Cowboys in 2021 and spent two seasons with them before he was traded to Miami. He also played briefly for Seattle and Indianapolis. The cornerback has been playing for the DC Defenders, who were set to play in a UFL conference championship game Sunday. The UFL said in a statement sent to Dallas TV station WFAA that it was aware of Joseph's arrest, but declined further comment. During the 2022 offseason with the Cowboys, Joseph was the passenger in an SUV from which two people fired shots into a group of men in Dallas, fatally striking one of the men in the head. Police concluded Joseph wasn't the shooter, and the NFL didn't suspend him. An attorney who previously represented Joseph didn't return a phone call from The Dallas Morning News. It wasn't immediately clear whether Joseph had an attorney following his arrest Saturday. ___ AP NFL:

Lithium-Ion batteries cause fire in Hernando County home: HCFR
BROOKSVILLE, Fla. (WFLA) — A fire broke out in a Brooksville residence Saturday afternoon after lithium-ion batteries were left charging inside the home. Hernando County Fire Rescue responded to the 800 block of Live Oak Drive to find smoke billowing out from the front door. Two people were inside the home at the time but escaped safely with no injuries. As an important safety reminder, continuously charging lithium-ion batteries can cause the battery to fail, which creates a very deadly gas release that can not only incapacitate people but also overheat and spontaneously catch fire.
