Man charged in connection with child's death in MD released on bond despite prosecutors' ask
Cedrick Britten, 44, was charged on June 11 with accessory to first- and second-degree murder after the fact, failure to report child death and "other related criminal charges" for his role in the death of Nola Dinkins, Maryland State Police said.
On June 12, prosecutors in Cecil County, Maryland, requested that Britten, 44, be held on no bond.
A county district court judge denied the request and instead gave Britten $75,000 cash bail and home detention, the Office of the States Attorney for Cecil County said in a news release.
Britten, who Delaware court documents say was in a relationship with Dinkins' mother, was released from custody after posting bond.
Dinkins' mother, Darrian Randle, has been charged with murder and a litany of other offenses in Maryland. She was also charged with felony lying to police in Delaware and remains in a New Castle County prison on $1 million cash bond.
She awaits extradition to Maryland.

Gilbert Arenas arrested alongside Israeli crime figure over illegal gambling business allegations
The post Gilbert Arenas arrested alongside Israeli crime figure over illegal gambling business allegations appeared first on ClutchPoints. Gambling has become a big part of the sports world, and there have been punishments that have come down when players end up getting involved. In this most recent situation, it had to do with former NBA player Gilbert Arenas, and he was arrested after allegedly being a part of an illegal gambling business, according to NBA insider Chris Haynes. 'Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas and suspected Israeli crime figure were arrested today on federal indictment alleging they operated illegal gambling business in which high-stakes poker games were played at Encino mansion Arenas owned,' Haynes wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Arenas is charged with one count of conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business, one count of operating an illegal gambling business, and one count of making false statements to federal investigators. Five other people were charged in the indictment and arrested in connection with the illegal gambling business, and were charged with one count of conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business and one count of operating an illegal gambling business. As stated in the indictment, from September 2021 to July 2022, Arenas and the other defendants built an illegal gambling business. Arenas decided to rent out an Encino mansion he owned for the purpose of hosting high-stakes illegal poker games. Arthur Kats, who lived in West Hollywood, would stage the mansion to host the games, find co-conspirators to host the games, and would collect rent from the co-conspirators on Arenas' behalf. According to the indictment, the other defendants would manage illegal poker games at the Encino mansion and collect a rake, which was a fee the house charged from each pot either as a percentage or a fixed amount per hand. If they're convicted, the defendants would face a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison for each count.

Gilbert Arenas breaks silence on conspiracy charge arrest
The post Gilbert Arenas breaks silence on conspiracy charge arrest appeared first on ClutchPoints. Former NBA All-Star Gilbert Arenas was arrested for illegal gambling allegations and is facing federal indictments, but was all smiles in a recent post on social media. Arenas is being charged with one count of operating an illegal gambling business and one count of making false statements to federal investigators after renting out a mansion to host illicit poker games. With the caption, 'Im Back on the Streets. This aint got shyt to do with me ' just rented the house' Wasnt apart,' Arenas posted a video of himself walking down a flight of stairs with his hands in the air via his X, formerly Twitter. 'Can't hold me, baby,' Arenas says in the clip. 'They can't hold me.' Arenas' lawyer, Jerome Friedberg, spoke to reporters outside a courthouse on Wednesday, claimed he hadn't had a chance to talk with his client, and couldn't comment on the case, per 'At this point in the case, he is presumed innocent, right?' Friedberg said. 'He has the same right as any other citizen to that presumption, and that's how he should be treated.' The 'Gil's Arena' podcast host was a three-time All-Star who was named to three All-NBA teams and won the Most Improved Player award in 2003. He played 11 seasons in the NBA.

I tried The Tea app and saw its dating dysfunction firsthand
On Tuesday, I published a column about a toxic app called The Tea that allows women to anonymously defame their dates without recourse. One must apply and prove their identity to get onto the females-only app. Despite being promised my application would be processed in mere 'hours,' I spent weeks waiting. Then suddenly, mere hours after dropping my piece, I was accepted. Naturally, I had to double back and give you a taste of the tea behind the curtain. What I found: hundreds of Jerry Springer-worthy plots unfolding in real time. 9 Many posts on The Tea accuse men of having sexually transmitted diseases. 'Have you dated my HUSBAND,' one New York City post reads. 'Seriously. We are NOT in an OPEN relationship. Someone went to the lengths of finding my email to tell me they went on a date with my husband and sent me [a dating app] screenshot amongst 20+ others.' Another accused a local 26-year-old — whose photo, full name, and Instagram account are all attached — of being a porn addict who had a 'whole girlfriend.' 'I also discovered a secret Instagram where he follows tons of OnlyFans models and weird fetish accounts,' the post alleges. 'He visits sex parlor massage shops to hook up with women and even follows one of the parlors on Twitter.' 9 One woman asked other users whether they have dated her husband. 9 Many users take swipes at the sexual performance of past lovers. Because The Post hasn't been able to verify any of these accusations and to protect people's privacy we're not including any names or faces in this article. One local apparent 'Instagram influencer', 31, is accused of being 'verbally and emotionally abusive' and, weirdly, being,'controlling of shared food while living together.' The user also took a swipe at him sexually: '[He] has a small and dirty [penis], and doesn't last longer than 30 seconds in bed (I wish I was joking.)' One 39-year-old New York City man is accused of 'always having 5+ girls on rotation, many believe they are in exclusive relationships with him. This behavior has been going on for YEARS… He is a professional at this game. Has lots of 'client dinners' which is just code for he's on a date.' Another 31-year-old is accused of having genital herpes and being 'desperate and disgusting.' One user warned others of a 28-year-old New Yorker, who she dated long distance for nearly a year. 'He went to prison for eight months last year for illegally hoarding ghost guns,' she wrote. 'All you have to do to find out more about this is google [his name and] ghost guns and you'll have plenty to read about.' Some other posts are just straight up petty. One user, looking for info on a guy she apparently was planning a date with, was merely told: 'He talks too much.' 9 One New Yorker was accused of hoarding ghost guns in a post. 9 A Tea user posted an image of another woman, accusing her of trying to steal her boyfriend. 9 The female-only Tea app has caused a stir with its mna-targeting content. REUTERS 'D—k type small but chat like he got some big ole s—t,' another user wrote about a 21-year-old New York man. Someone posted an image of a 22-year-old New York City woman, writing, 'This is not a man I know but I think it's important. She continued to come on to my boyfriend despite knowing everything and me confronting her.' The app also allows women to ask one another for advice, from whether it's possible for a porn addict to change his ways to whether it's 'okay for a guy you've been talking to for 3 years to ghost you without any communication.' A more shocking question: 'I (20) have been talking w this guy (33) on tinder/snapchat and he's been talking abt all the things he wants to do to me sex wise … is it wrong if I ask for money?? and if so how much? we already hooked up once but I wanna feel like im getting something in return.' Answers — like, 'He sounds insatiable but go ahead' and, 'Get your money!' — were unanimously supportive. The app also offers a reverse phone number search, which we tested but it proved to be largely useless. 9 One user claimed that their former flame was really on dates with other women when at 'client dinners.' 9 A local man was accused of being a porn addict and having secret Instagram accounts. Their local sex offender map failed to actually load on my phone, but the app will help direct you towards background checks, criminal record searches, and court record searches if you have adequate information on your date. Scroll through The Tea, and you'll find thousands of men's faces with often damaging comments attached to them. According to media lawyer Robert Roth, Section 230 protects The Tea from being sued, and anonymous users are very difficult to hold accountable for defamation and false claims.. 'What this means is that users of the app can write nasty things about other users but the ones written about can only sue the writers if they can actually figure out who they are,' Roth told The Post. 'Since most use pseudonyms, that's next to impossible.' So, the women of The Tea can continue spilling it with abandon for the foreseeable future.
