Two 18-year-olds charged with aggravated assault after reported drunk canyon fight
UTAH COUNTY, Utah () — Two 18-year-olds have been charged with aggravated assault after a fight broke out in a canyon, leaving another young adult in the hospital.
Tyler Shad Janeway and Aiden Jay Fullenwider, both 18, have been charged with felony aggravated assault. Janeway is also facing charges of possession of forged writing, prohibited use of an identification card, and unlawful purchase, possession, and consumption of alcohol by a minor.

According to documents, on June 1, a group of young adults went up one of the canyons in Utah County. Before going up the canyon, Janeway used a fake ID card to purchase alcohol and brought it with him.
While in the canyon, two of the young adults, the victim and the witness, began arguing. Janeway and Fullenwider got between the two and began physically fighting with the victim. He was pushed to the ground, and Janeway and Fullenwider continued physically attacking him.
The witness begged Janeway and Fullenwider to stop before they finally managed to get between them and remove the victim from the situation. The victim and witness left the canyon, and the victim was transported to the hospital by an ambulance.
The Utah County Sheriff's Office was called to the area on reports of a physical fight. When they arrived, they began searching the area for the young adults and located several cans of alcohol. According to documents, the sheriff deputies were told one of the victims was at home and being taken to the hospital.

In conversation with the victim and witness, they told law enforcement that 'a significant amount of alcohol' had been consumed by the group before the altercation. They also told sheriff deputies that Janeway had used a fake ID to purchase that alcohol, which the victim's mother later found in the vehicle her son had driven up the canyon.
The victim had significant injuries to his abdomen and head and sustained a concussion. Medical staff said that the victim had severe bruising, and blood was found in his urine due to his injuries. He was discharged from the hospital, but told police he would need follow-up visits.
Another witness from the night of June 1 came forward with videos of the altercation. According to documents, Janeway can be seen 'kicking and hitting the victim several times' with Fullenwider.
Both Janeway and Fullenwider were booked into the Utah County Jail on felony charges.

What happens next in Texas redistricting and for Democrats facing civil arrest warrants
Source: CNN Texas Republicans are scheduled to reconvene Tuesday after they voted to issue civil arrest warrants for Democrats who fled the state to stop a GOP-led redistricting effort. The Texas House on Monday authorized the warrants for dozens of Democratic lawmakers who didn't appear and denied the Texas House a quorum necessary to move forward with redistricting. The warrants empowered state troopers to arrest the absent Democrats and bring them to the Capitol. But the Democrats who left the state fled to Illinois, New York and Massachusetts, three Democratic-led states outside Texas law enforcement's authority without local officials' cooperation. 'That's why in this case and in previous recent quorum breaks, they have left the state to escape the jurisdiction of the marshals and other arresting officers in the state,' Sarah Chen, a voting rights attorney with the Texas Civil Rights Project, told CNN. And since the Democrats aren't breaking any criminal or state laws, Chen said, it wouldn't be possible for officials to seek the lawmakers' extradition from the states they're holed up in. 'Any sort of work with other states or federal law enforcement would be more of like calling in a favor rather than any sort of legal obligation,' she said. One of the Texas lawmakers who fled to New York, state Rep. Jolanda Jones, said Monday that Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was 'trying to get soundbites' by threatening arrests of the absent legislators. 'Subpoenas from Texas don't work in New York, so he's going come and get us how?' Monday's action 'is just the procedure of what you do when people walk out,' said Andrew Cates, a lawyer in Texas who specializes in legislative and political law. 'No one is scared of it' if they've left the state. 'They haven't broken any laws that anyone knows of, so extradition is not going to work,' he added. The state House is currently scheduled to meet at 2 p.m. EDT (1 p.m. CDT). It doesn't appear that the House will have enough lawmakers present to reach the two-thirds attendance needed for quorum. Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows said he had signed civil warrants for the Democratic lawmakers who fled the state. The speaker told reporters that House Republicans will work with the Texas Department of Public Safety 'to locate members.' He said one Democrat had announced a fundraiser Tuesday in Austin. 'I've sent that fundraising letter to DPS and said they should be invited to attend, as well. We'll see how that goes forward,' he said. Abbott said in a statement he had ordered DPS 'to locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans.' 'This order will remain in effect until all missing Democrat House members are accounted for and brought to the Texas Capitol,' he said. The House Democrats' decision to flee the state and deny majority Republicans a quorum comes as the state's legislature seeks to redraw the Texas congressional districts to make five seats more favorable for the GOP. Doing so would improve the party's chances of holding onto control of the US House, where they now have a three-seat majority, next November. As he presided in the House on Monday, Burrows said he would do 'everything in my power to establish quorum and move this body forward by any and all means available to this office.' 'To those who are absent: Return now,' he said. 'Show the courage to face the issues you were elected to solve. Come back and fulfill your duty, because this House will not sit quietly while you obstruct the work of the people. The people of Texas are watching, and so is the nation, and if you choose to continue down this road, you should know, there will be consequences.' Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said he would do 'everything in my power' to force Democrats back to Austin. 'It's imperative that they be swiftly arrested, punished, and face the full force of the law for turning their backs on the people of Texas,' Paxton said in a statement. Republicans tried a similar tactic to force an end to Democrats' 2021 quorum break — that one a failed attempt to block restrictive new voting laws. The House sergeant-at-arms sent the warrants to those Democrats, deputized law enforcement to find them and even dropped paperwork off at some members' homes, though no arrests were made. The Texas Supreme Court ruled in 2021 that the House does have the authority physically compel the attendance of absent members. In the wake of that 2021 quorum break, the Texas House also adopted new rules that allow for $500-per-day fines for those who are absent. Lawmakers cannot use their campaign or official funds to cover their own fines. Those new rules have not yet been tested in state court, Chen said. Cates noted the fine for absenteeism has not been enshrined in state law. If a lawmaker refused to pay, he said: 'How do you enforce it?' Abbott issued warnings about potential bribery charges – and suggested he will seek to remove the absent Democrats from office and replace them – in a Fox News interview Monday. 'I believe they have forfeited their seats in the state legislature because they're not doing the job they were elected to do,' he said. The GOP's threats, and civil warrants, were not a surprise to Democrats who said they knew the consequences when they left the state. 'If law enforcement arrests me, I will go peacefully. But I am doing this because I'm fighting for my constituents,' state Rep. James Talarico told CNN. CNN's David Wright, Devan Cole and Fredreka Schouten contributed to this report.

Texas redistricting vote at a standstill after Democrats scatter: Morning Rundown
The Texas House approved arrest warrants for Democrats who fled the state to block a GOP-favored redistricting plan. Attorney General Pam Bondi orders a grand jury investigation into the Obama administration's review of Russia's actions during the 2016 election. And the double-edged sword facing travel influencers in Afghanistan. Here's what to know today. Texas House approves the arrests of Democrats who fled the state Republican lawmakers voted to issue arrest warrants for dozens of Democrats who fled Texas to block the GOP's plan to redraw the state's congressional lines. The House requires a quorum to proceed with a vote and with 51 of the state's 62 Democratic House members out of the state, the legislation is effectively stalled. 'They've shirked their responsibilities under the direction and pressure of out-of-state politicians and activists who don't know the first thing about what's right for Texas,' said Republican Speaker Dustin Burrows. Shortly after gaveling in, Republican lawmakers locked the chamber doors and moved for the sergeant-at-arms to 'send for' the lawmakers 'under warrant of arrest, if necessary.' Republican Gov. Greg Abbott called for a special session of the Legislature this summer with redistricting on the agenda, an issue President Donald Trump has said would allow the GOP to pad their slim majority in the U.S. House with five more seats. The move enraged many Democrats who consider it a power play to prioritize House seats before passing legislation to address the disastrous floods that killed over 100 people in Kerr County, San Antonio, this summer. Inside the chamber, they proceeded with a House vote and signed the civil arrest warrants, but Democrats have shrugged off threats so far. A majority traveled to Illinois and others to Boston and Albany, N.Y., but their next steps aren't clear. The special legislative session cannot last more than 30 days, but Abbot could continue to call new sessions indefinitely. U.S. ties with India, a key security partner in Asia, are being tested by trade, tariffs and New Delhi's purchases of Russian oil. Meanwhile, the European Union will pause its plan to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods while trade negotiations continue. White House officials began their search for a permanent replacement after Trump fired former Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner Erika McEntarfer. Ron DeSantis has a longstanding presence in the Florida GOP, but after losing his presidential bid, the momentum within the state's Republican Party seemed to shift towards Trump. Pam Bondi orders grand jury probe of Obama administration review of 2016 election Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered Justice Department prosecutors to launch a probe into whether Obama administration officials committed federal crimes in a review of Russia's actions during the 2016 election. Trump and his supporters have long claimed that intelligence and law enforcement officials attempted to undermine his first term by overstating Russia's interference in the 2016 election and investigating Trump's aides over any possible contacts with Moscow. Special Counsel Robert Mueller found that Russia intervened in 2016 to undercut Hillary Clinton but found no evidence that the Trump team colluded with the Kremlin, as some on the left had previously suggested. In an official letter signed by Bondi, an unnamed federal prosecutor is now instructed to begin presenting evidence to a grand jury to secure potential federal indictments. The letter doesn't specify what the charges will be, who the grand jury will investigate or give a timeline for completion. The announcement is the latest in a series of actions by the Trump administration designed to rewrite the history of the 2016 election and seek retribution against those whom Trump accuses of trying to sabotage his first term in the White House. The Agriculture Department allowed West Virginia, Florida, Colorado, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas to bar participants who receive SNAP benefits from using their aid for certain types of processed foods. A federal judge rejected 'Sean Diddy' ' Combs' efforts to be released from prison ahead of his sentencing. A bronze statue depicting Confederate Gen. Albert Pike will be reinstalled in Washington, D.C, after demonstrators toppled and burned it in 2020. Staff Pick: Travel influencers boost tourism to Taliban-run Afghanistan When I read about the three-month solo trip Margaritta, a 33-year-old travel influencer from Germany, took through Afghanistan, my heart soared. It is rare to read anything about Afghanistan that isn't about war, violence or extremism, so it was a welcome relief to find someone appreciating the country's heart-stoppingly beautiful landscape and fascinating history. Margaritta says that she 'felt fantastic' and safe in Afghanistan. She and other travel influencers explore the country's landlocked, mountainous terrain and its tribal culture, with their glowing account contesting what has been painfully evident over the decades: that the country is unsafe and hostile to women. Here's the thing: Afghanistan is one of the world's most violent countries, and arguably one of the worst places to be born a girl (if you look at maternal mortality rates, as well as laws that prohibit girls from studying beyond the age of 12 and women from working outside the home -- just to name a few). I fear Margaritta and others' sunny travelogues risk whitewashing the harsh realities of life for the people of Afghanistan, not only its women. They also betray a lack of interest in or understanding of why some of us — wealthy, white Westerners — might be 'treated like a queen.' In sum, it's great to share your adventures, but probably while keeping at the front of your mind that millions of people may well be living desperately difficult lives under harsh and austere circumstances that rosy travelogues might entirely miss. — Brinley Burton, a ssistant managing editor NBC Select: Online Shopping, Simplified Ever heard of onion shampoo?
