CNN correspondent detained by LAPD during live shot
A reporter for CNN was briefly detained by police Monday while covering the widespread protests in Los Angeles following federal immigration enforcement operations in the area over the weekend. CNN cameras caught correspondent Jason Carroll being told by police he needed to leave the area he was reporting from and placing his hands behind his back as he and members of the network's crew were escorted away. 'I asked. 'Am I being arrested?'' Carroll said of the incident on the network after he was escorted away. 'He said, 'No … you're being detained.' You take a lot of risks as press. This is low on that scale of risks, but it is something I wasn't expecting.' CNN, in a statement to The Hill, said it was 'pleased the situation resolved quickly once the reporting team presented law enforcement with their CNN credentials.' 'CNN will continue to report out the news unfolding in Los Angeles,' the outlet said. The protests in Los Angeles have sparked intense reaction from the White House, with President Trump mobilizing hundreds of Marines and thousands of National Guard troops, a move that has sparked criticism from Democrats and the state's governor.

Driver charged in fatal bicycle crash at 131 and Pearl in GR
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — A Wyoming man is charged with a misdemeanor in a crash that killed a bicyclist near downtown Grand Rapids early this year. Steve Dowhan, 53, was hit and killed instantly the evening of January 11, 2025, as he rode his bicycle west on Pearl Street near the Ford Museum. A stagehand for venues in downtown Grand Rapids, Dowhan had just finished a job at DeVos Place. On May 29, Kent County prosecutors charged the driver of the vehicle that struck Dowhan, Kaleb Stressman-Pilot, with moving violation causing death. Police: Bicyclist hit by car, killed in Grand Rapids 'The alcohol was not over the legal limit, it was under it,' said Kent County prosecutor Chris Becker. 'So, we didn't have any drunk driving charges we could file. We didn't have any reckless driving charge we could file…. After we took a look at everything, the moving violation causing death was the only charge we had.' Becker noted fatal accidents usually take a few months to investigate as police await the results of toxicology testing and conduct accident reconstructions to determine charges. According to the probable cause affidavit, Stressman-Pilot had a 'solid green traffic signal.' But an accident reconstructionist said Stressman-Pilot had been speeding when the crash happened, driving 48 to 61 miles per hour in a 30-mph zone. Bicyclist killed in downtown GR was stagehand, driver had prior arrest Officers also determined that Stressman-Pilot should not have been driving that night; he had a restricted license and a conviction for operating while intoxicated from an August 2023 traffic stop. But in the January fatal crash, toxicology results measured Stressman-Pilot's blood alcohol content as .05, under the legal driving limit of .08. Still, the affidavit noted evidence of impairment. 'Officers advised they could smell an odor of intoxicants coming from Stressman-Pilot and displayed (sic) other clues that indicated impairment,' wrote an officer in the court record. 'Stressman-Pilot was eventually arrested for OWI and a chemical blood test was conducted. The results of the chemical blood test show Stressman-Pilot had a BAC of 0.057.' The officer went on to document Stressman-Pilot's comments the night of the crash. 'Officers on scene questioned Stressman-Pilot who advised them he was going 'Wherever I want to go,'' wrote the author of the affidavit. '(Stressman-Pilot) also added that he was headed to the 'strip club.' Officers spoke to the (female) passenger in the vehicle, who stated they were 'cruising downtown' and 'looking for something to do.'' If convicted of the high misdemeanor, Stressman-Pilot could get up to one year in jail and a mandatory one-year license suspension. Steve Dowhan's friends and fellow union members are still trying to determine a permanent location for a ghost bike that was dedicated in his honor. It can't be displayed at the crash site because Grand Rapids does not allow tributes in public rights-of-way. For now, it's in the front window of a Bridge Street building that houses the union to which Dowhan belonged, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 26. The union said it will continue to fight for more parking for downtown workers. 'That's what we're seeking as a way to honor (Steve's) legacy,' said Tom Burke, president of IATSE Local 26. 'That's why Steve was on his bicycle in the middle of winter.' Burke said the lack of affordable parking forces downtown workers to park on the outskirts and ride their bicycles to their jobs. Burke described Dowhan as a lover of music and culture and a stickler for safety on the job. 'He was also quite persnickety,' Burke said with a chuckle, 'and he could be difficult in a debate or an argument. But that was also a strength when it came to demanding safety for workers, which was his thing. If he saw an unsafe situation, he would help us stop the work until we made it safe.'
