Photos show skid marks left from over 100 cars street racing in Newton
Photos show the aftermath of what police say was a street racing incident involving more than 100 cars on a popular road in Newton. WBZ-TV's helicopter captured skid marks that were still visible days later in Newton Centre. Police say that residents reported the street racing on Beacon Street and Centre Street just after 12 a.m. on Sunday. "Numerous NPD [Newton Police Department] units responded to Newton Centre for a report of over 100 cars in the area driving erratically, street racing* and burning tires," the Newton Police said in a Facebook post on Thursday. Several drivers were cited after being stopped by officers, but most fled the scene. Police said that this is not common for the area. "This driving behavior is dangerous!" Newton Police said online. Anyone who suspects that people may be street racing near them should call 617-796-2123. Police ask that if it is an emergency, call 911. A similar incident was reported in neighboring Boston last year. Around 40 cars were seen drag racing in Boston's Back Bay in April of 2024, according to police. They were caught on camera speeding down one-way streets and doing donuts in intersections. Residents in the area said that the smell and sounds disturbed them early in the morning, just after 2 a.m. Police said that when they arrived, they were attacked with glass bottles, fireworks, and the streets were blocked off.

State investigation targets St. Louis County Executive's office
CLAYTON, Mo. – The Missouri State Highway Patrol showed up unannounced to the St. Louis County Executive's office on Monday to gather evidence as part of a state investigation. 'The Missouri State Highway Patrol's Division of Drug and Crime Control is completing an investigation at the request of the Missouri Attorney General's Office,' Lt. Eric Brown, assistant director of the MSHP Public Information Division, said. But MSHP or the Attorney General's office did not say what they were investigating. St. Louis County Councilwoman Rita Heard Days says she is also in the dark. She said she showed up for a meeting on Monday with County Executive Sam Page, but Page was not there. 1 dead, 1 critically injured after altercation at north STL Wendy's 'There was one quick question about where is the county executive and was a warrant served. One person said yes; the other said no,' Days said. Page's office did not return FOX 2's request for comment on Tuesday. 'We have received nothing from the county executive's office. We have received nothing from the administration as to what has happened,' Days said. She said she thinks it is likely related to the use of public funds on election mailers. FOX 2 reported back in April that the county executive was billed about $5,000 to pay for Prop B postcards; the ballot measure that would give the county council the ability to remove department heads.

The St. Louis County Courts confirmed that Attorney General Andrew Bailey was appointed as special prosecutor on this investigation, but it could not confirm if a subpoena or search warrant was served at Page's office on Monday related to that case. FOX 2 News has obtained a letter from Councilwoman Shalonda Webb's office to Page demanding answers. The letter says that if Page does not provide the council a copy of a subpoena or warrant served at his office, then she will seek a vote of the council to issue a subpoena for the information.
