Shedeur Sanders' interaction with police after getting pulled over for speeding revealed in bodycam footage
Bodycam footage has emerged of Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders being pulled over for speeding by an Ohio police officer. Sanders, a member of the Cleveland Browns for less than two months, was pulled over for speeding twice in the month of June, police records show. Sanders, the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, was cited for allegedly driving 101 mph in a 60 mph zone, while a woman identified as Jasmine Hammond was driving in another vehicle nearby, according to footage from the most recent incident June 17. The footage showed an officer pulling Sanders over and approaching the quarterback. "I got you at 101 miles per hour," the officer says. "I got her at 92." Hammond was ultimately let go with a warning, an officer said. "I'm going to give your girl a break," the officer added. "I'm gonna cut you a break," the officer told Sanders in the clip. "I'm not going to give her a ticket. … But 101, I got a dashcam and stuff, man." The speeding tickets at the start of Sanders' NFL career have raised concerns. Records also indicate Sanders failed to appear for a June 13 arraignment for the first speeding ticket he received June 6. The rookie quarterback addressed those traffic tickets while appearing at teammate David Njoku's charity softball game Thursday. "I made some wrong choices personally, and I can own up to them," Sanders said, via Pro Football Talk. "I made some, you know, not great choices. … I learned." The former Colorado standout entered April's draft with many projecting him as a first-round selection. It took until the fifth round for the young signal-caller to hear his name called. Sanders was drafted 144th overall by the Cleveland Browns. His slide in the draft began after the New York Giants traded up to 25 to select Jaxson Dart. Then, on the second day of the draft, three other quarterbacks — Tyler Shough, Jalen Milroe and Dillon Gabriel — were all taken. Gabriel also went to the Browns. Questions about Sanders' character arose heading into the draft and have persisted in the months since. The Tuesday before the draft, NFL Media released a summary of the top 18 prospects in this year's class. Sanders' section included comments from an anonymous assistant coach, who said Sanders was "the worst formal interview I've ever been in in my life. He's so entitled. He takes unnecessary sacks. He never plays on time. He has horrible body language. He blames teammates. … But the biggest thing is, he's not that good." An anonymous longtime executive added, "It didn't go great in our interview. He wants to dictate what he's going to do and what's best for him. He makes you feel small." Then, weeks after Sanders was drafted, a CBS analyst recalled when Sanders skipped out on something he was "supposed to be doing." Star players, normally quarterbacks, and coaches often meet with broadcasters in the days leading up to a game. Before a game against Colorado State, Sanders skipped one of those meetings, according to CBS' Ross Tucker. Tucker said Sanders was initially supposed to speak with CBS on a Wednesday, but it was pushed back two days because he was getting treatment for an injury. But he never showed up to the rescheduled meeting. "We weren't really given a reason, but we did not talk to Shedeur at the production meetings, which, as you know, starting quarterback, especially high-profile player like that, very unusual. I walk out of the hotel, and there's a pickup truck in front of the hotel, and Shedeur is just sitting in the back of the pickup truck," Tucker said on "The Dan Patrick Show." "It just made me wonder. People asked me, NFL people asked me after that game, 'What did you think of Shedeur?' And I said, 'I didn't get to talk to him.' Maybe he's the greatest kid ever, maybe he's a bad kid. I don't know. But I told them the story, and they just kind of nodded their head. "And it just made me wonder how many stories are there like that in which Shedeur did things that were not customary. He did things non-traditionally. It certainly seemed like that was the deal with a lot of the combine interviews and meetings with teams. And especially at that position, I think it makes them very nervous that already in college he was getting out of things that you're supposed to be doing. What's he gonna be like if he's a first-round pick in the NFL Draft?" Sanders, the son of Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, is one of several quarterbacks competing for the Browns' starting role. While Joe Flacco brings the most experience in the group, Kenny Pickett has also started games in the NFL. Dillon Gabriel and Sanders were both part of the Browns' 2025 draft class. Deshuan Watson vowed to return "better than ever" after reinjuring his Achilles tendon in January, but it remains to be seen whether he will take snaps in 2025.

Violent week in Fort Worth highlights urgent need for funding for shooting prevention program
A 22-year-old woman has been arrested in connection with a shooting early Friday morning at a FedEx Ground facility in Fort Worth. Police say Gerneicea Fulton has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly shooting someone during a fight in the facility's parking lot. The victim remains in critical condition. Private lot shooting raises concerns CBS News Texas "With our extra patrols on the street, you've got a private parking lot where something like this takes place," said Officer Buddy Calzada, a public information officer for the Fort Worth Police Department. "In that private parking lot, people just have to be adults. They don't need to bring weapons to try to solve some kind of disturbance." Calzada added, "That concerns us — that people think this is the way you solve an argument, when it's not." Spike in gun violence across Fort Worth The incident is the latest in a string of violent events across Fort Worth this week. On Sunday, five people were killed in separate, unrelated shootings over the course of about 20 hours. Then, on Wednesday night, officers found a man shot in the head inside a car in west Fort Worth. Police say that in nearly all of this week's shootings, the violence began with an argument or altercation that escalated when someone pulled out a gun. Community leaders urge conflict resolution "Our biggest concern is how can we prevent it from leading up to that?" Calzada said. "You know, speak to somebody, get your frustrations out by talking to another individual." That's exactly what local nonprofit VIP Fort Worth aims to help young people do. Nonprofit scales back after funding loss The organization mentors young men ages 11 to 29 who live in neighborhoods identified as "shooting hot spots." "Our purpose is to try to stop retaliation whenever it takes place, as well as stop gun violence before it happens," said Rodney McIntosh, program director of VIP Fort Worth. "We just engage with these young men on a day-to-day basis, talking about emotional intelligence, emotional maturity, de-escalation, how to deal with conflict." But the group has had to scale back its efforts dramatically after losing federal funding in May — an outcome McIntosh says is already having deadly consequences. Call to restore violence prevention programs "In the last month, since we kind of had to slow things down — we hadn't lost a fellow in I think three years — we've lost two in the last month," he said. McIntosh emphasized the urgency of restoring the program to full capacity. "When this program is not functioning or not working, the chances of a young man losing his life becomes far greater," he said. "And so we have to make sure that we keep this program going in this city."

Husband of Colorado woman Suzanne Morphew re-arrested 3 years after charges were dropped in her 2020 death
CrimeFacebookTweetLink Follow The husband of Colorado woman Suzanne Morphew, whose remains were discovered over three years after she was reported missing on Mother's Day 2020, was arrested again Friday on a first-degree murder charge, authorities said. Barry Morphew was arrested in Arizona after a Colorado grand jury returned an indictment Wednesday. His bond was set at $3 million, cash only, according to court documents. The district attorney's office said in a statement that it is seeking to bring him back to Colorado. A 2024 autopsy report said Suzanne Morphew died of 'unspecified means' but ruled it a homicide. While there was no indication of trauma in her remains, a drug cocktail used to tranquilize wildlife was found in one of her bones, the report said. A tranquilizer gun and accessories were found in the Morphews' home, according to investigators. Barry Morphew has maintained his innocence since his wife disappeared, and his attorney David Beller blasted the new indictment. 'Yet again, the government allows their predetermined conclusion to lead their search for evidence,' Beller said in a statement. 'Barry maintains his innocence. The case has not changed, and the outcome will not either.' He was first charged with murder in May 2021, but prosecutors dropped that case the following year just as Morphew was about to stand trial. A judge barred prosecutors from calling key witnesses for repeatedly failing to follow rules for turning over evidence in Morphew's favor. That included DNA from an unknown male that was found in Suzanne Morphew's SUV. At the time, prosecutors said they wanted more time to find her body. Barry Morphew filed a $15 million lawsuit against county officials, accusing them of violating his constitutional rights. His lawyers also filed a complaint asking that the prosecutors be disciplined for allegedly intentionally withholding evidence. Iris Eytan, who was Morphew's attorney in 2021 but no longer represents him, said prosecutors 'fumbled' the case. 'Not only is he is a loving father, but he was a loving husband,' Eytan told The Associated Press on Friday. The mystery surrounding Suzanne Morphew began when the 49-year-old mother of two daughters, who lived near the small town of Salida, was reported missing on Mother's Day 2020. Suzanne Morphew's mountain bike and helmet were found in separate spots not far from her home, but investigators suspected the bike had been purposefully thrown down into a ravine because there were no indications of a crash. A week after she went missing, Barry Morphew posted a video on Facebook pleading for her safe return. 'No questions asked, however much they want, I will do whatever it takes to get you back,' he said. When he was initially charged, the arrest affidavit laying out investigators' case against Barry Morphew said his wife insisted on leaving him. He later changed his statements as evidence developed. Morphew, an avid hunter, did not initially tell investigators that he went out of his way as he left for work on Mother's Day, driving toward the place where his wife's bicycle helmet was eventually found. Later, he said he went that way because he had seen an elk cross the road, according to the initial arrest affidavit. Because the initial charges against Morphew were dismissed without prejudice, prosecutors could pursue a case against him later. That happened after Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents stumbled upon Suzanne Morphew's skeletal remains in September 2023 in a shallow grave during an unrelated search near the small southern Colorado town of Moffat, about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of the Morphews' home. Most of Suzanne Morphew's bones were recovered and many were 'significantly bleached,' according to the affidavit. Investigators removed a port through which Morphew could receive medicine to treat follicular lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, and found clothing similar to bicyclist clothes she was known to wear. Based on the status of the remains and clothing, a forensic anthropologist theorized that the body decomposed elsewhere, the affidavit says. Toxicology testing revealed all three drugs in a sedative used for wildlife called 'BAM' were in the bones. The presence of a metabolite for one of the drugs, butorphanol, suggested the remains would not have been contaminated with BAM after death, the affidavit says. The coroner's office determined the cause of death was 'homicide by unspecified means' through intoxication of the three drugs, butorphanol, azaperone and medetomidine. Barry Morphew obtained and filled several prescriptions for BAM while living in Indiana, shortly before the Morphews moved to Colorado in 2018. Barry Morphew was a deer farmer in Indiana and allegedly told investigators he used BAM to tranquilize deer in Indiana and Colorado, according to the indictment. In the area surrounding their home in Colorado, no private citizens or businesses, only Colorado Parks and Wildlife and National Park Service officials, had obtained BAM between 2017 and 2020, records show. No government officials reported missing BAM supplies. 'Ultimately, the prescription records show that when Suzanne Morphew disappeared, only one private citizen living in that entire area of the state had access to BAM: Barry Morphew,' the indictment concluded.
