Influencer ‘XenaThe Witch' arrested after shooting stranger with a paintball gun for live stream prank
XenaTheWitch, a popular Kick livestreamer, was arrested in Austin on Wednesday following a viral incident where she allegedly shot a woman with a paintball gun during a scavenger hunt. The alleged incident happened on August 9 around 5:55 p.m. near 2200 South Lakeshore Boulevard along the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail, police said. Amaris Sampson, 29, better known as XenaTheWitch, was taking part in a $30,000 scavenger hunt organized by fellow streamer Paul "Ice Poseidon" Denino. Live footage from the event allegedly shows Sampson shooting a paintball gun at a woman who did not appear to be involved in the hunt or wearing any protective gear. The woman told officers she was in pain and injured after being shot in the thigh. 'Yeah, she f****** shot me. It was one of them girls,' the victim can be heard saying in the viral video. 'I don't give a f***,' Sampson is said to have responded. Following the incident, Austin Police Department issued a warrant for Sampson's arrest. She was taken into custody on Wednesday and booked into the Travis County Jail. Police said Sampson deliberately or knowingly injured the victim by firing a paintball at them, and that she acted recklessly by discharging the paintball gun in a public area without taking proper safety measures, endangering others. Sampson faces assault with bodily injury and deadly conduct charges, both Class A misdemeanors. Sampson has since deleted her Kick account, which had over 37,000 followers before the incident. She has also been banned from the platform. Fans shared their disappointment in Sampson on Reddit, X, Instagram, and beyond. 'The things people do for clout because they think it's 'funny,'' one person tweeted. 'Yep! That will do it lol. You got what you deserve,' another agreed. A third person wrote, 'Clout chasing by these streamers is going to start actually getting people hurt and maybe even wiped out.' Sampson has a history of controversial behavior. In a January livestream, her cameraman allegedly stole an Uber driver's phone and threw it under his car. In November 2023, she faced criticism for urinating out of her room window to attract viewers.

Washington DC Sues Trump, Calling Police Takeover Illegal
(Bloomberg) -- Washington DC is asking a federal court to immediately block the Trump administration's effort to take over the city's police force, saying that the move is illegal and risks public safety. The US-Canadian Road Safety Gap Is Getting Wider Festivals and Parades Are Canceled Amid US Immigration Anxiety To Head Off Severe Storm Surges, Nova Scotia Invests in 'Living Shorelines' Five Years After Black Lives Matter, Brussels' Colonial Statues Remain For Homeless Cyclists, Bikes Bring an Escape From the Streets The lawsuit filed by Washington's Attorney General Brian Schwalb on Friday follows an escalation between city officials and the Justice Department over President Donald Trump's moves to take control of the Metropolitan Police Department and deploy hundreds of National Guard troops to the nation's capital. The complaint, which was filed in Washington federal court, alleged that Trump exceeded the authority granted by Congress in taking those steps. City officials also asked a judge Friday to block the federal government from assuming control of the metropolitan police force or issuing any further orders. A hearing on the issue is set for 2 pm. 'The administration's unlawful actions are an affront to the dignity and autonomy of the 700,000 Americans who call DC home,' said Schwalb in a statement issued by the Washington Attorney General's Office. 'We are fighting to stop it.' The Justice Department declined to comment. 'The Trump administration has the lawful authority to assert control over the DC police, which is necessary due to the emergency that has arisen in our nation's capital as a result of failed leadership,' Abigail Jackson, a White House spokesperson, said in a statement. Trump cited a 'crime emergency' in exercising rarely-used presidential powers to ramp up the federal presence in Washington's local affairs, even though recent data — including from the Justice Department — show sharply declining crime rates. More than 1,750 people, including DC National Guard members, participated in an overnight operation as part of Trump's executive order, said a White House official. The multi-agency sweep across Washington led to 33 arrests, nearly half of them involving people in the country illegally, the official said. Tensions between city officials and Attorney General Pam Bondi flared Thursday when DC Mayor Muriel Bowser and Schwalb rejected an order from Bondi that would strip the Metropolitan Police Department's chief of her authority and place the agency under federal control. Bondi's directive named the head of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Terrence Cole, as 'emergency police commissioner' giving him the full powers of the city's police chief. The missive orders Washington's police leaders to seek Cole's approval before issuing directives, rescinds several department orders and instructs officers to fully enforce laws against blocking streets and occupying public spaces. In her order, Bondi criticized the city's sanctuary policies for shielding criminals who are in the US illegally 'from the consequences of federal law.' The DC attorney general's lawsuit warned that Bondi's order would upend the command structure of the local police and 'sow chaos among the more than 3,100 officers serving the District, endangering the safety of the public and law enforcement officers alike.' Washington has a unique relationship with the federal government. Congress passed a law in 1973, known as the Home Rule Act, that empowers the city to elect its own leaders and run its own day-to-day affairs. But the district is still subject to congressional oversight, its local judges are nominated by the president and confirmed by the US Senate, and the US attorney's office handles a large proportion of local prosecutions. The home rule law includes a section that allows the president to exercise control over the city's police force if 'special conditions of an emergency nature exist.' The takeover can last as many as 30 days, at which point it can only continue if Congress votes to approve the extension. The president also controls the city's National Guard reserve force, another dynamic that sets it apart from states. Washington's lawsuit alleged that Trump doesn't have the authority to 'seize command and control over the police force himself,' but can only require the mayor to offer assistance from the police in 'certain emergency circumstances.' The city also argued that Trump's use of rising crime as a reason to assert his authority was so sweeping that it 'would undermine Congress's decision to transfer control for day-to-day governance of the city to locally elected and accountable leaders.' Bowser supports statehood for the district and has pushed back on Republican calls to repeal the home rule law and federalize the city. Still, she's sought to avoid an aggressively adversarial relationship with the White House during Trump's second term. Bowser said her administration has complied with the DC Home Rule Act's requirement to provide police services for federal purposes during a declared emergency but added, 'there is no statute that conveys the District's personnel authority to a federal official.' Schwalb has taken a confrontational approach, releasing a statement calling Trump's actions 'unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful.' He sent a letter to Washington Police Chief Pamela Smith dated Aug. 14 saying that in his opinion Bondi's order 'is unlawful, and that you are not legally obligated to follow it.' --With assistance from Kate Sullivan.
