Ex-Louisville basketball star Russ Smith arrested on suspicion of drunken driving
Former Louisville basketball star Russ Smith was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Kentucky over the weekend, according to online records. Smith, a member of the team that won the 2013 NCAA title which was later vacated due to rules violations, was arrested just after midnight on Sunday and charged with operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. The Louisville Courier Journal reported that officers noted Smith's vehicle driving across multiple lanes, including a crosswalk, and that the vehicle's tags were expired. According to the report, officers detected a "strong odor of alcoholic beverages" on Smith's breath during the traffic stop. Smith reportedly failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol content of 0.073. The Louisville Courier Journal reported that Kentucky law allows that drivers with BAC greater than 0.04 but less than 0.08 may still be charged based on other evidence. Smith reportedly admitted to officers that he had "two bourbon pours neat" before driving. Online jail records indicated that Smith was also charged with not having proper registration plates and reckless driving. He was released on Sunday and is due back in court on Wednesday. The 34-year-old former college basketball player was a member of the 2013 NCAA men's basketball championship-winning team where he averaged 18.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.9 assists in the tournament. The NCAA stripped the basketball program of that title because of a major rules violation years later. Smith spent a brief period in the NBA playing for the New Orleans Pelicans and the Memphis Grizzlies.

CNN reporter 'detained' by LAPD on TV covering anti-ICE protests
A CNN reporter and his camera crew were detained on live television by Los Angeles police on Monday night as anti-ICE protests continued to roil the city. Veteran national correspondent Jason Carroll had just concluded a segment from one of the protest zones during anchor Laura Coates' 11 p.m. broadcast when cops in riot gear briefly restrained him. 'I am being detained,' Carroll can be heard saying as Coates began to ask CNN law enforcement analyst John Miller a question in the studio. 4 Los Angeles police detain CNN national correspondent Jason Carroll during his coverage of the anti-ICE riots on Monday. CNN Coates abruptly interrupted Miller when she heard Carroll. 'Wait one second, John… Hold on. I wanna — Jason, what's going on? I hear you. Am I seeing Jason Carroll being — what happened? Jason?' she asked. 'I'm being detained, Laura,' Carroll repeated. CNN cameras then captured a tense exchange between Carroll and the officers during which the correspondent sought clarity. Carroll, wearing a black Polo shirt and jeans, is seen with his hands behind his back while bookended by two officers. 'I'm not being arrested, correct, officers?' Carroll asked. An officer's response, though initially unclear to Carroll, was direct: 'We're letting you go, but you can't come back… Because then if you come back in, then you go. Ok, please?' Carroll acknowledged: 'Ok, thank you, officer.' He then attempted to relay the situation to Coates. 'If you guys can still hear me, what happened was, I was — ' he began, only to be interrupted by an unexpected intervention. 'I'm Chris with The New York Times,' a voice interjected. 'We got video of you guys. If you need it later, call The New York Times.' It is unclear who Chris is or what his role is at the Times. 4 'I am being detained,' CNN national correspondent Jason Carroll said while reporting live during Laura Coates' Monday night broadcast of 'Laura Coates Live.' CNN The Post has sought clarification from the paper. Carroll expressed his gratitude to the Times employee, saying: 'Thank you, I appreciate that.' He then resumed his account for the CNN audience. 'So here's what happened, Laura,' he explained, 'I was called over, and the officer told me to put my hands behind my back. I said, 'Am I being arrested?' He said, 'You are being detained.' I was walked out of the area. They took down my information.' As Carroll's audio feed abruptly cut out, Coates turned to Miller for analysis. Miller, a former NYPD terror chief, elaborated on the increasing complexities faced by police during protests, attributing it to the presence of 'anarchist groups and agitators.' 4 CNN cameras then captured a tense exchange between Carroll and the officers during which the correspondent sought clarity. CNN These individuals, he noted, often claim media status. 'Well, I have a blog, so therefore I'm press… So therefore, even though I've been throwing bottles and screaming epithets, I'm not part of the protest. I want to be treated as media,' Miller said. A CNN spokesperson told The Post: 'A CNN reporting team was briefly detained in Los Angeles while capturing the events that were unfolding as police attempted to clear an area during the ongoing protests and police and military response in the city.' The network rep added that 'we are pleased the situation resolved quickly once the reporting team presented law enforcement with their CNN credentials.' 4 'A CNN reporting team was briefly detained in Los Angeles while capturing the events that were unfolding as police attempted to clear an area during the ongoing protests and police and military response in the city,' a spokesperson said. CNN 'CNN will continue to report out the news unfolding in Los Angeles.' The Post has sought comment from the LAPD. Video footage from the protests also captured the moment that Post photographer Toby Canham was shot in the head with a rubber bullet. On Sunday, an Australian news correspondent who was covering the events in LA also was shot with a rubber bullet while doing a live report from the scene. The Trump administration ordered thousands of National Guard troops to respond to the growing protests which centered around federal buildings in downtown LA following ICE raids on suspected undocumented migrants.

Oak Creek man pleads guilty in drunk driving homicide of St. Francis teacher
An Oak Creek man has pleaded guilty to homicide by driving intoxicated in connection with a crash in Cudahy that killed a local teacher. Troy Vaillancourt, 28, was facing the felony charge for allegedly driving drunk and causing an accident that took the life of St. Francis teacher Michelle Engman on Dec. 6, 2024. Vaillancourt changed his plea to guilty June 9 as part of a plea agreement, according to online court records. He initially pleaded not guilty in December 2024. The court found him guilty and Vaillancourt was remanded into Milwaukee County Sheriff's Department custody. Sentencing is scheduled for Aug. 22. Following the crash, a GoFundMe was launched to help support Engman's family. As of June 9 it had raised $31,777 ― well above its $19,000 goal. According to the complaint: Cudahy police were dispatched to East Van Norman and South Lipton avenues for a two-car crash at 3 p.m. Dec. 6, 2024. Authorities found a Honda Civic and Chevrolet Trailblazer with severe damage and determined the crash occurred in the middle of the intersection. Engman, who was driving the Civic, was unconscious with no pulse. Officers attempted lifesaving measures until paramedics arrived and took her to the hospital. She died Dec. 8 from injuries received in the crash, according to the autopsy. Vaillancourt told police he was the driver of the Trailblazer and said he'd just finished work and was traveling south on South Lipton Avenue when the crash happened. Traffic southbound on Lipton has a stop sign while traffic on Van Norman Avenue has no stop sign. 'I'm 90% sure I blew the stop sign then hit her,' Vaillancourt told an officer, adding that he 'probably was speeding.' Officers observed Vaillancourt exhibited signs of intoxication though he denied drinking before the crash. He did admit to drinking the night before, including the early morning hours of Dec. 6. Vaillancourt took a breathalyzer which indicated his blood alcohol level was 0.169%. The legal limit in Wisconsin is 0.08%, but since Vaillancourt had two prior OWI convictions he must maintain a BAC under 0.02%. Contact Erik S.
