San Francisco 49ers' Deommodore Lenoir arrested in Los Angeles
San Francisco 49ers player Deommodore Lenoir was arrested in Los Angeles on a charge of obstructing law enforcement and later released Friday, police said.
Los Angeles police said they saw multiple double-parked cars blocking traffic at about 5:30 p.m. Thursday. They said a suspect 'appearing to conceal contraband' threw the keys to one of the cars to Lenoir, who refused to give them to officers.
Officers eventually recovered a gun and narcotics in one of the cars. Lenoir, 25, was arrested and booked on a charge of delaying and resisting a peace officer.
According to the county jail inmate information center, Lenoir was released around 1 a.m. Friday and is due to appear in court July 25.
A spokesperson for the San Francisco 49ers did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Lenoir attended Los Angeles Salesian High School and played for the Oregon Ducks before being drafted by the 49ers in 2021. The cornerback signed a five-year, $92 million extension with the 49ers in November.

US charges 11 people in Russia-based scheme to bilk Medicare of $10bn
US federal prosecutors charged 11 people on Friday in a Russia-based scheme to bilk Medicare – the American health insurance program for the elderly and disabled – out of $10.6bn through fraudulent billing for expensive medical equipment. The 'transnational criminal organization' orchestrated a 'multi-billion-dollar health care fraud and money laundering scheme' that included purchasing dozens of medical equipment companies from prior legitimate owners to perpetrate the fraud, according to the indictment dated 18 June. More than a million Medicare recipients had their personal information stolen and used by the defendants to file for billions of dollars in claims from Medicare and its supplemental insurers, prosecutors said in the filing. The claims were filed through medical equipment providers that the group had purchased, but no equipment was ever sent out for the payments. Medicare paid 'approximately $41 million as a result of the fraudulent submissions' and supplemental insurers are estimated to have paid out $900m more between 2022 and 2024, prosecutors wrote. The scheme was organized by Imam Nakhmatullaev, who is based in Russia, officials said, and managed the other defendants who were in Estonia, the Czech Republic and the US. The fraud was identified after 'hundreds of thousands of Americans reported their concerns to Medicare and its contractors after receiving explanation of benefit forms that reflected them purportedly receiving' equipment that they neither sought or received, the indictment said. The organization moved its proceeds through shell companies to bank accounts in countries such as Singapore, Pakistan and Israel and laundered it using cryptocurrency, according to the indictment, the New York Times reported.

EXCLUSIVE Maniac accused of decapitating his own parents shocks court as he debuts dramatic transformation
A man accused of decapitating his parents looked unrecognizable in court on Friday as he was pictured with a walker, a fuller frame and a full dark beard. Joseph Brandon Gerdvil, 41, is accused of brutally murdering his parents, Antoinette Gerdvil, 79, and Ronald Gerdvil, 77; deaths which horrified their community of San Juan Capistrano in Orange County, California. He appeared at the Superior Court of Orange County for a short pre-trial hearing in a bright green shirt, chains around his waist, and a walker to assist him after police shot him. Gerdvil's appearance is a stark contrast from the selfies he would share on social media before the gruesome attacks. The unimaginable murders occurred on the morning of July 9, when deputies with the Orange County Sheriff's Office responded to a domestic assault call and found Gerdvil's parents and their dog mutilated and decapitated. Gerdvil was caught on police body camera footage only minutes later, covered in blood and chasing a maintenance worker nearby. Deputies responded and found the suspected killer driving a golf cart covered in blood. He was shot by police and transported to a local hospital before he was booked into jail for the double homicide. The gruesome footage revealed Gerdvil walking to the officer, covered in blood. Gerdvil was charged with double homicide in connection with his parents' gruesome murders last July The police officer screamed at the suspect to 'get on the ground' as he yelled incoherently. As he lay on the ground, the deputy directed him to get on his stomach and put his arms out. Officers then arrived on the scene, detained, and handcuffed Gerdvil, who was heard telling police, 'I'm sorry you're going to have to die.' While deputies inspected the suspect for his wounds, he told them, 'Just finish me off. Put one in my head. Put one in my head please. I beg of you.' Gerdvil then began to sing Tina Turner's hit song, What's Love Got to Do with It as officers performed first aid. The suspect was carrying a metal water meter when he charged at the officer. He was later reported to be stable but in serious condition at the hospital. Gerdvil was living with his parents in a mobile home community before their gruesome deaths. Authorities said they were tipped off to the deaths by a cousin, who allegedly received text messages depicting Gerdvil's mother covered in blood. The cousin told dispatchers that Gerdvil suffered from mental health issues and had a history of violence. One of the deputies who responded to the mobile home reported to a dispatcher that there was 'a head on the counter.' Gerdvil was arraigned for two murder charges two days after the shocking sequence of events. He entered a plea of not guilty in December and is due back in court for another pre-trial hearing on September 19.
