Wrestler charged with kidnap after 'HELP!' note left at Jersey Mike's
A professional wrestler has been charged with felony kidnapping and assault after his alleged victim left a note in a Florida sandwich shop begging for help, according to authorities. Jordan Williams, a 34-year-old blue-haired wrestler known as Jayden Steele in the ring, was busted after investigators reviewed surveillance footage at the Jersey Mike's in Navarre where the note was found, according to NBC 15 News. Sandwich maker Eleanor Coffee told the outlet that she found the crumpled-up note on the restroom floor. '[The author] was like, 'Please help me. I'm at this address in Navarre. I need you to call the police and do a wellness check,'' said Coffee, who immediately alerted her manager and called 911. 'Let cops know don't approach the house unless my Hyundai Kona is in the driveway because his parents will alert him and he will hurt me… I just want to get home to my kids and family… He controls my phone so he will know [if you message me],' the note read, according to the arrest report seen by EWrestling News. 'Please help get me home! HELP!' 3 Professional wrestler Jordan Williams was arrested after a chilling note was found in a Jersey Mike's. Santa Rosa County Sheriffâs Office The note was found by employees just 20 minutes after it had been left on May 27, according to the arrest report. Cops were able to track down the alleged victim thanks to the details left in the note. Surveillance footage then led to Williams, who has a history of domestic violence, Chief Tifft from Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office told NBC News 15. 'There was two previous domestic violence incidents, so this is the third,' the chief said. 3 Jersey Mike's employee Eleanor Coffee found the shocking note. Deputies later found the alleged victim at a home they had on file for Williams, just two miles from the Jersey Mike's where the note was found. She had visible injuries and was rushed to the hospital for suspected broken bones and other trauma, police said. The accuser also reported a prolonged period of abuse, including six to eight months in isolation, repeated assaults and threats involving weapons, according to a news release shared by the Sheriff's Office on Facebook. She detailed three recent assaults in the past three months, including an occasion when he allegedly held a knife to her throat, a separate occasion when he strangled her and slammed her to the ground and knelt on her back, and a third when she said he punched her in the face, according to the arrest report. 3 The note was discovered in the restroom of a Jersey Mike's in Navarre, Florida. Google Maps The alleged victim told police Steele repeatedly threatened to kill her if she sought help, and her ex-husband has an active restraining order out against the defendant, according to the arrest report. The ex claimed Williams once held the victim captive for two days, during which time he allegedly tied her to a bed, urinated on her, and spat tobacco in her mouth, according to investigators. Williams made his first court appearance on May 29 and is being held without bond. He faces multiple domestic violence charges including felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, felony kidnap, felony battery, misdemeanor battery/touch or strike and felony battery strangulation. Williams pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him and is currently being held at Santa Rosa County Jail. His arraignment is scheduled for June 19.

The story behind statue of King Kamehameha I
HONOLULU (KHON2) – In the ahupuaʻa of Honolulu, which lies in the moku of Kona here on Oʻahu, stands a symbol of Hawaiian pride. We are speaking of King Kamehameha I Statue. Kaʻahumanu St, from Downtown Honolulu to Pearl City What was originally proposed to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Captain Cook's arrival to Hawaiʻi, an image of a 45-year-old King Kamehameha I was chosen as a monument promoting Hawaiian national pride. At a cost of $10,000, it was politician Walter Gibson representing Lāhainā who had proposed the idea. Having been started in Boston and completed in Paris, the 7-foot-tall statue left Germany on a ship in August of months later, word reached Hawaiʻi that the ship went down off the coast of Falkland Islands, losing all of its cargo. Following the loss of the original statue, a second statue of King Kamehameha I was commissioned. But to the government's surprise, the original was recovered and arrived in Honolulu a couple months prior to its replacement. Today, there are four. Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news Molded after the marble Roman scultpure of Augustus Ceasar, King Kamehameha is shown as a 'Pacific Hero.' The replacement statue was installed first on Oʻahu in 1883 at its present location fronting Aliʻiōlani Hale. The recovered, original statue was unveiled a couple months later in Kohala on Hawaiʻi Island as it is the King's birthplace. In 1969, following statehood, a statue of the Father of the Hawaiian Kingdom was installed in the US Capitol Statutory Hall. The final statue was installed in Hilo in 1997, which was originally for a hotel on Kauaʻi, but Kauaʻi residents said no because King Kamehameha I failed to conquer them. Did you know? Now you do!

Mason Roberson destroyed his phone and vanished
(NewsNation) — A year after their 16-year-old son stormed out of the house and broke his phone, one couple is hoping he is still alive after two mysterious texts sent to his mother. From fishing trips around the family home in Anchorage, Alaska, to annual Hawaiian vacations, the Robersons were the picture of a happy family. Especially in the magical time before teen hormones and ADHD made everything feel harder for son Mason Roberson. Missing California woman, 31, found dead in Arizona 'We do everything together, trying to eat a meal every day together, and doing lots of road trips,' said Marti Romero, Mason's mother. But Mason's smiles also masked pain. 'Mason's had quite a bit of loss in his life,' Romero said. 'He lost a brother, he lost some aunts and uncles at a young age, and he was really questioning, 'Why does this kind of thing happen to one family so much?'' His parents learned Mason had turned to the family liquor cabinet for relief. 'I think the alcohol, as he explained it to us, was a numbing agent for him. It made him not as depressed. It made him not think about all of those bad things,' Romero said. Still, Mason's parents couldn't condone his actions. 'We're not going to just let somebody who's having issues with alcohol and who is a minor drink. We can't,' Romero said. Madeleine McCann search back on, 18 years after disappearance The issue came to a head on May 18, 2024, early in the morning when Mason's father, David Roberson, confronted him. 'I went down to the kitchen and he was heating up some pizza in a microwave, and he was visibly impaired, and so I asked him about it, and he threw his plate of pizza and broke it and stormed downstairs, where his room is,' Romero said. Soon, Mason's parents realized he had gone out the basement door and he wasn't answering their messages. A neighbor's Ring camera recorded Mason staggering down the street, where he sent a final text to his family saying, 'I genuinely don't need you.' Then, he destroyed his phone. 'He goes behind a tree, but you can clearly hear that Mason breaks his phone. He slams it against the ground, and it makes quite a loud pop,' Roberson said. Jonathan Hoang disappeared without his wallet, jacket Mason's mother has a theory about what happened. 'My theory has always been that he's with somebody that he met online, who he knew, if he had his phone with him, he could be tracked or traced, and that's not what he wanted,' Romero said. Even then, the Robersons expected Mason to return home any minute. 'I seriously thought, okay, he's going to blow off steam, he's going to sober up, and he's going to come home,' Romero said. 'Mason's a kid who didn't spend a lot of time away from home. He didn't spend the night at friends' houses. Never in a million years did I think he would not come back.' Searches of the surrounding area yielded no clues. Then, six months later, the family was shocked when Romero received a text. 'So on Mason's 17th birthday, which was Nov. 1, I received a text about seven o'clock in the morning,' Romero said. 'It basically said, long time, no see. I hope you are all right.' The saying 'long time, no see,' was one the family used as a joke when Mason would come up from the basement. But when Romero texted the unknown number back, she got no answer. Then, just weeks ago, around Mother's Day, she received another text, from a different number, asking how her day was and if she had some fun. Father found dead, daughter missing after they went hiking on mountain in Maine Were the texts from Mason? Or just a simple 'wrong number' text scam? 'Usually, when you have a person who either wants money or is just a troll, there's communication back and forth, and it just ended there,' Romero said. 'Without having a phone, without having a wallet, without having an ID, without having any money, there has to be a person who he was planning on getting some assistance from,' Romero said. If Mason is out there, they have a message for him. 'We want Mason to know how much we love him unconditionally and that we recognize that he might not want to be home, but we just want to talk to him. We want to make sure he's safe,' Romero said. What happens to Diddy's $400 million fortune if he's found guilty? For Mason's father, the message has roots in his own experience. 'I left home at 17 myself, you know. I went back a couple times, I didn't leave like this,' Roberson said. 'But just to communicate would be enough at this moment.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
