Grand jury declines to indict sister of Denton woman who disappeared, later found safe in Michigan
A Denton County grand jury has declined to indict the sister of a 76-year-old North Texas woman who was found safe in Michigan last month, more than a week after being taken without legal authorization from an assisted living facility, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
Accused of violating guardianship
Eva Haron was accused of interfering with the rights of a guardian by removing her sister, Karen May Taube, from Willow Bend Assisted Living & Memory Care without proper authorization.
A Silver Alert was issued, and authorities believed the two were traveling to Michigan in a white Ford F-150, though Taube was not considered in immediate danger.
Jamie Beck, first assistant district attorney in the Denton County District Attorney's Office, confirmed the case had been presented to the grand jury and was "no billed," meaning no charges would be filed against Haron.

Taube was later positively identified at a hotel in Houghton Lake, Michigan, by the Roscommon County Sheriff's Department.
Authorities had considered charges against Haron for violating a court order and taking her sister across state lines.
Guardianship and medical evaluation
Taube, who is under a court-appointed guardianship that prohibits contact with Haron, was evaluated at a hospital and later returned to Denton.

FIFA start investigation into Pachuca player amid Antonio Rudiger racism allegations
Real Madrid saw their Club World Cup victory over Pachuca overshadowed by allegations of racism made by Antonio Rudiger, and FIFA have now taken the next step in their efforts to discover the truth of the situation. UEFA looking into Gustavo Cabral as part of investigation During the match in Charlotte, Rudiger claimed that Gustavo Cabral had called him a 'black s***'. These allegations were denied by the Pachuca player, but the FIFA protocol on these matters was activated. An investigation was started, and now it has been reported by COPE (via Sport), that Cabral is being looked into by world football's governing body. Image via Paul Ellis/AFP Advertisement FIFA are determined to get to the bottom of things, which is why their investigation has progressed in the last 24 hours. It has not been ruled out that witnesses, such as those involved in the match for either side, will be called to testify. But for now, no definitive decision has been made. Real Madrid are standing behind Rudiger in this matter, whom they believe wholeheartedly. And it's not the first time that they have had to do so with one of their players, with superstar winger Vinicius Junior having been subjected to racist abuse on several occasions over the last few years. It is not clear when a resolution will come, with FIFA determined to ensure that everything is looked into before they make their decision. It is unlikely that it will happen in the coming days, and there is no reason for anything to be rushed given that Pachuca have already been knocked out of the Club World Cup, so any punishment that comes the way of Cabral would not have an effect on the ongoing tournament. For now, the investigation that FIFA are undertaking is ongoing, and will remain that way until a definitive outcome is reached.

Police agencies across Western Washington warn of text scams
Multiple police agencies across Western Washington posted on social media this week, warning communities to look out for toll road text scams. The scammers send texts claiming to be from the DMV, the 'Seattle Vehicle Administration,' or Good To Go!, claiming that the user owes toll money and will face penalties if they do not pay via a link in the text. Police are warning people NOT to click these links. Back in March, KIRO 7 spoke to a Washington couple who wanted to warn the public after they lost more than $23,000 to the scam. 'They're good. They're really good. That chick knew everything. She said the right things and reassured us we were doing the right thing, and the whole time we weren't,' they said. The scammer used personal details to lead the couple into losing thousands. 'If you have any doubts at all, hang up and call the institution directly,' they said. As a reminder, WSDOT never texts toll notices, uses web addresses ending in '. and only sends reminders through mail or an official account. If you get a text from one of these scammers, Des Moines PD advises you not to reply, block the caller, and don't reply. You can also report the message as junk/spam. If concerned, you can check your account by visiting directly or by calling WSDOT. Here's a roundup of the local police agency posts:
