Jelly Roll Deepfake Used in Car Contest Scam: ‘I Really Thought It Was [Him]'
A Springfield man says he was scammed out of money by a fake account using artificial intelligence to impersonate country music star Jelly Roll. Ronnie Flint told 2 NEWS he was stunned at how convincing the scam appeared, and he now wants to warn others before they fall victim. According to Flint, the ordeal began when he received a Facebook message claiming he had won $50,000 and a brand-new car. The account then sent him a video that appeared to show Jelly Roll asking him to cover shipping costs for the prizes. At first, Flint was skeptical—even after the page sent him what they claimed was the singer's official driver's license. But a second video shocked him.

"When they sent the second video where he actually said my full name, that got me. I was like, wow, it really is Jelly Roll. He said my name." Believing the videos were real, Flint sent the scammers $70 in Apple gift cards, even though he's on a fixed income: "I even told him that I'm on disability. You know, this is all the money that I have for the rest of the month." A family member eventually warned Flint that it was a scam, and he filed a police report. However, the fake account has continued to message him, demanding more money. "They're thinking I'm going to send them another $30 on the 3rd, which ain't going to happen," Flint told 2 NEWS. "That's why I called you guys, because I want to put it out there because maybe somebody else already fell for it. I don't want them to fall for it the way I did."

Indiana State Fair announces 2025 Taste of the Fair winners
The Indiana State Fair has announced the winners of its annual Taste of the Fair competition, the rare contest at the Fair where the entrants are eaten before receiving a blue ribbon. After 10 days of voting by fairgoers, Sheridan-based Wilson Concessions claimed first place Aug. 13 with its Cinnamon Toast cookie butter pretzel bites. The dish, which features doughy hunks of pretzel doused with cinnamon, sugar, cookie butter spread and Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, also tied for the highest-rated concession in IndyStar's annual fair food ranking. In addition to the obvious glory, Wilson Concessions will receive $2,500 for its first-place finish. Coming in behind Wilson was Florida-based Swains Concessions, who narrowly missed out on its third overall victory in four summers with its latest frightening twist on pizza, this year topped with pickles, bacon and ranch dressing. The 2025 runner-up receives $1,000. Another familiar name rounded out the podium as 2024 Taste of the Fair champ Nitro Hog BBQ took third with its BBQ Machos, tortilla chips topped with macaroni and cheese, pulled pork, cheese sauce and barbecue sauce. Nitro Hog owners Jessica and Jeff Orme are no strangers to top-three finishes and finally broke through last year with their prize-winning fried sugar biscuit with pulled pork and apple butter barbecue sauce. The Ormes will take home $500. The three finalists were the highest vote-getters among 39 competing vendors, whose creations included deep-fried pickle-topped Oreos, burgers sandwiched between grilled Little Debbie Honey Buns, cotton candy-flavored beer and five different funnel cakes. The State Fair runs through Aug. 17. That means you still have nearly four full days to try this year's most acclaimed fair foods, or perhaps whichever ones strike you as the best balance of delicious and unsettling.
