Fan who threw sex toy faces multiple charges
College Park police arrested Delbert Carver, 23, on Saturday, and he was released from Clayton County Jail in Jonesboro, Ga., a day later on bond, according to multiple media reports on Monday.
Carver is reportedly charged with disorderly conduct, public indecency/indecent exposure, and criminal trespass. The case is considered "pending" with a court date yet to be established.
In the Atlanta Dream's 77-75 loss to the Golden State Valkyries on July 29, a sex toy was tossed onto the court during game action. Play wasn't impacted before the object was removed.
The WNBA said in a statement, "The safety and well-being of everyone in our arenas is a top priority for our league. Objects of any kind thrown onto the court or in the seating area can pose a safety risk for players, game officials, and fans. In line with WNBA Arena Security Standards, any fan who intentionally throws an object onto the court will be immediately ejected and face a minimum one-year ban in addition to being subject to arrest and prosecution by local authorities."
A similar incident occurred in another Valkyries road game on Friday, a 73-66 victory over the Chicago Sky. No arrests were made in relation to that occurrence, and Chicago police told ESPN on Monday, "We don't see a call of service for that incident."

Diddy's ex Cassie Ventura returns to social media for first time since giving birth... after painful testimony
Cassie Ventura made her return to social media on Thursday after giving birth in May. The 38-year-old singer reposted a humorous video to her Instagram Stories after sharing her last Instagram post on April 19 of this year and welcoming her third child with her husband Alex Fine on May 27. The post, which included a comment from Ventura, appeared to also be her first Instagram activity since her emotional testimony against her abusive ex-boyfriend Sean 'Diddy' Combs, 55, just weeks before she gave birth. Diddy has denied her claims and has maintained his innocence. The jury ultimately acquitted the rap mogul of the most serious charges, but did convict him in July of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, relating to Ventura and an anonymous woman referred to as 'Jane' at trial. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison for each count, though prosecutors have indicated that sentencing guidelines suggest a little over 5 years maximum. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jen Kearney • Newborn, Baby & Toddler Sleep Consultant 💤 (@momswithplans) Diddy's request for bail was once again denied earlier this week, meaning he will have to wait in jail until his sentencing, which is scheduled for October 3. Ventura made her return to Instagram by reposting a video originally shared by Jen Kearney, who bills herself as a baby and toddler sleep consultant. The video, which was soundtracked with DJKhaled and Rihanna's song Wild Thoughts, featured a group of people standing outdoors for a gathering. Suddenly a man dressed in a white button-up shirt stars dancing, even as the rest of the people around him stand perfectly still. 'When your old self slowly starts coming out postpartum,' read the caption on the original clip. Ventura weighed in with her own comment to her Insta Stories repost: 'Factual. Little by little lol.' She appeared to be thinking about getting back into the swing of things after giving birth to her two-month-old son, whose name has not yet been reported. She and Fine share two other children, daughters Frankie, five, and Sunny, four. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Casandra Fine (@cassie) Ventura and Diddy began dating back in 2007, though they reportedly broke up in late 2015 and again in the summer of 2016, before their final split sometime in 2018; pictured in 2017 in NYC The performer announced her pregnancy with her littlest boy in February via a series of black-and-white family portraits in which she showcased her growing baby bump. Ventura and Fine, a personal trainer, got engaged in August 2019 and tied the knot the following month with a ceremony held in Malibu, California. The two began dating sometime after the end of Ventura's on–off relationship with Diddy in 2018, which wasn't announced until October of that year. Ventura and Diddy began dating back in 2007, though they reportedly broke up in late 2015 and again in the summer of 2016, before their final split. During Diddy's trial on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, Ventura testified that the rapper had subjected her to beatings and deviant sexual manipulation during the course of their relationship. During her tearful testimony, she accused Diddy of forcing her to masturbate while looking at a male prostitute and describing what she saw to Diddy, who would watch the encounters. 'It was always awkward… sitting describing someone's penis to another male was pretty awkward and humiliating but eventually it became normal. It would lead to intercourse,' she claimed. Ventura said Combs and the male escort would sometimes both have sex with her, while at other times only the escort would while her boyfriend instead watched. Shockingly, Ventura alleged that the escorts could only ejaculate when given the OK by Diddy, and afterward he had her go into a separate room with her to 'put the semen on his body… usually on his chest, on his nipples.' Ventura also gave a dramatic account of the infamous 2016 hotel hallway surveillance video that shows her trying to leave a freak off in the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles' Century City neighborhood. The video shows Combs — who is wearing only a white towel — punching and kicking Ventura before she is able to get on the elevator to safety, then dragging her back to the hotel room where the freak off party was held.

Pennsylvania shooting: man kills neighbour, ambushes and wounds two state troopers
A 61-year-old man shot and killed his neighbor in rural Pennsylvania on Thursday and then ambushed responding state troopers, wounding two and shooting down a drone while firing dozens of rounds from a semiautomatic weapon, police said. The attacker was killed by police. The boyfriend of the woman who was killed, Lori Wasko, called 911 from their home near Thompson, in Susquehanna county, to report that shots had been fired, state police Col. Christopher Paris told reporters. Police did not say why Carmine Faino decided to kill 57-year-old Wasko outside her home and then fire at responding troopers Joseph Perechinsky and William Jenkins. Faino also fired at police vehicles and at an SUV operated by a responding emergency worker, Paris said. The EMT was injured when his vehicle veered off the roadway. 'I don't want to speak to his motive leading up to this. I would say you can draw certain conclusions from the standpoint that we believe Faino shot our victim prior to our arrival and then from a position of tactical advantage fired dozens and dozens of rounds', Paris said. Investigators are looking into Faino's past. Both troopers were in stable condition with serious injuries Thursday night, he said. Paris said the troopers 'were dispatched to check the welfare of an individual. And there was additional information about shots being fired. But upon their arrival, they were immediately fired upon and ambushed. They are very lucky to be alive'. Perechinsky applied a tourniquet to Jenkins, and two other troopers were able to help rescue them, Paris said. He praised Perechinsky for providing first aid to his colleague after they were shot and for working while wounded to prevent further injuries or death. 'Perechinsky was able to commandeer a tractor-trailer that was driving by, and he ordered the driver of that tractor-trailer to pull his semi rig across the roadway so that more people would not drive down that roadway and potentially be subjected to the fire', the police spokesperson said. Perechinsky was 'still thinking at that point in time, after being shot twice in the chest, what can I do to secure this location? What can I do to make sure nobody else gets hurt?' Paris added. The troopers were flown to hospitals for medical care. Pennsylvania's governor, Josh Shapiro, called the two troopers heroes and said Perechinsky 'saved lives'. 'He acted decisively. He acted thoughtfully. And the work he did today exemplifies the absolute best of the Pennsylvania state police', Shapiro said. Faino had a rifle and did not comply with demands, a state police statement said. He was 'ultimately shot and killed during the incident', police said. The shooting happened about 5 miles north of the borough of Thompson, 163 miles north of Philadelphia. Erika Mills, who lives less than a mile from where the shootings took place, said it made for a terrifying day in a community that is usefully peaceful. 'This is a very very quiet town. There has never been anything comparable', she said.

Drake Baldwin blasts two homers as Braves overtake Marlins
August 8 - Rookie Drake Baldwin hit two homers and drove in five runs as the Atlanta Braves erased a four-run deficit to beat the visiting Miami Marlins 8-6 on Thursday in the opener of a five-game series. Atlanta ended a three-game losing streak and evened the season series against the Marlins at 3-3. The Braves had lost five in a row at home. After trailing 6-2 through four innings., Atlanta cut the deficit to one in the sixth on Baldwin's three-run homer. Baldwin tied the game with an RBI single in the seventh, then scored to go-ahead run on Marcell Ozuna's infield hit and a throwing error by shortstop Otto Lopez. The Braves got an insurance run in the eighth when Jonathan Ornelas singled and eventually scored on a wild pitch. Baldwin went 3-for-5 with his 12th and 13th homers. Braves reliever Pierce Johnson (3-3) threw a scoreless seventh inning. Raisel Iglesias worked a perfect ninth with two strikeouts for his 15th save. Marlins reliever Josh Simpson (2-1) allowed two runs, one earned, on one hit and one walk in one-third of an inning. Neither starter received a decision. Miami's Eury Perez worked 5 1/3 innings and allowed five runs on seven hits -- three of them home runs -- with two walks and one strikeout. Atlanta's Carlos Carrasco pitched 5 2/3 innings and yielded six runs on nine hits and two walks with two strikeouts. The Braves got back-to-back solo homers from Baldwin and Ozuna, his 16th, in the first inning. The Marlins erased the deficit with a five-run rally in the second, getting an RBI single from Jakob Marsee, a two-run triple from Eric Wagaman and a two-run homer from Graham Pauley, his third. Agustin Ramirez added an RBI single in the fourth to increase Miami's lead to 6-2. Baldwin hit his second homer in the sixth, a three-run shot that traveled 422 feet and pulled the Braves within 6-5. --Field Level Media
