Woman wanted on warrant for CT vehicle theft allegedly attempts to flee from state police at court
A woman tried fleeing from state police at a courthouse in Manchester on Monday as troopers were trying to arrest her on a warrant connected to a theft investigation, state police said.
Troopers at 2:13 p.m. responded to Manchester Superior Court after learning that a woman there had a warrant out for her arrest, according to Connecticut State Police.
While taking the suspect into custody — who was identified as 25-year-old Jada Williams of Worcester, Massachusetts — she reportedly ran from troopers and tried getting into a vehicle, state police said. She was brought out of the vehicle before she could get away, at which point she continued resisting troopers, according to state police.
Williams was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit fourth-degree larceny, conspiracy to commit third-degree criminal mischief, conspiracy to commit receipt from illegal use of credit card and interfering with an officer.
According to state police, the warrant out for her arrest stemmed from an incident in October 2024 when she allegedly broke into a vehicle and stole several things from inside. The stolen items included several credit and debit cards, which state police allege Williams used to rack up more than $1,000 in charges.
Williams was held on bonds totaling $100,000 and was expected to be arraigned Tuesday in Rockville Superior Court.

St. Paul man pleads guilty in repeated assault of woman at his apartment
A 22-year-old St. Paul man pleaded guilty on Monday to his role in the assault of a woman at his apartment earlier this year, according to court documents.

As part of the plea agreement, all other charges aside from the first-degree assault charge will be dropped at Junior's sentencing, which is scheduled for Oct. 1. He could be sentenced up to 20 years in prison. Charges say a Junior repeatedly assaulted a 19-year-old woman between Jan. 27 and Jan. 29 at his apartment. The two allegedly got into an argument over claims she was texting other guys, which is when the dayslong assault began. The woman's wounds were so severe that she wasn't able to see from her right eye, according to the criminal complaint. She suffered from burns to her face, arms and torso. She also had a stab wound on her leg. On Jan. 29, Junior walked his victim to a bus stop on Wabasha Street and Fillmore Avenue in St. Paul, according to charges. There, he called 911 and handed the phone to her. Junior allegedly asked her to lie about her injuries, but ran back to his apartment when he heard sirens. While talking to police, Junior claimed that on Jan. 27 the woman came over with the marks on her body and he let her use his phone. Junior claims that's when he found she was texting with other guys, charges say. He allegedly pushed her and was scratched by her. Charges say Junior told police he accidentally stabbed the woman when tending to one of her injuries.

The victims, who are in their 20s, are in stable condition. "It's a nice area, it's a working-class area.

Richard Sherman is formally charged with DUI following February 2024 arrest
More than a year after he was arrested for DUI, former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman officially has been charged. Via Brady Henderson of a spokesperson for the King County Prosecuting Attorney said Tuesday that a formal charge has been filed, after the Monday receipt of blood-test results from the Washington State Patrol Crime Lab. Advertisement The test showed that Sherman had a blood-alcohol concentration of 0.11 percent, which exceeds the legal limit of 0.08 percent. The charge is a gross misdemeanor, which was enhanced by Sherman refusing a breath test. On the surface, it seems unusual that it would take more than 16 months for the blood sample to be tested. The prosecutor's office told Henderson that a protracted delay is not uncommon, given the capacity and increased caseload of the lab. Sherman spent 11 years in the NFL, playing for the Seahawks, 49ers, and Buccaneers. He currently serves as an analyst on Prime Video's Thursday Night Football.
