Cyclist claims Miami Beach police unfairly arrested him after cruiser incident
A 55-year-old cyclist said he was unfairly arrested and charged with two felonies after placing his hands on a police cruiser during an operation on Ocean Drive. Vladimir Tovar, an engineer from Miami, faces charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. According to the arrest report, Tovar "intentionally struck" the cruiser hard enough to cause dents "approximately four to five times" before ignoring commands to stop. "I put my hand (on) the police car," Tovar said after bonding out of jail Friday morning. Tovar said he rode his bicycle into Miami Beach Thursday evening. On Ocean Drive, he rolled past undercover officers preparing to arrest people involved in illegal sales. During the operation, officers requested a cruiser nearby to keep everyone safe, a Miami Beach Police Department spokesman said. The cruiser was partially in the bike lane when cameras recorded Tovar approaching. "A cyclist traveling northbound reportedly struck the marked police vehicle intentionally before fleeing the area despite a sergeant's lawful directive to stop," MBPD Public Information Officer Christopher Bess said in a statement. "The cyclist was subsequently located and arrested." Tovar insists he did nothing wrong. He said video shows another cyclist approaching him as he neared the cruiser. He claims he put his hand on the vehicle to keep his balance while avoiding the other cyclist and barriers in the street. "The first hand (on the cruiser) was to stop," Tovar said. "The second hand (was) to (not) fall down. I just (tried) to stop." Tovar also expressed frustration with how officers treated him after his arrest. "It's crazy," he said. "At the Miami Beach detention center, they sent me to a little jail with people with mental problems. Then, they put me in a van with nine people with 90 degrees outside like you see people at the border." "How can I explain this to my 17-year-old son?" he asked. Tovar said he plans to fight the charges.

At Nationals Park, It Was Game Time as Usual
As the Nationals game against the Philadelphia Phillies got underway Friday night, thousands of Major League Baseball fans streamed into Nationals Park in Washington as they would for any other game. Outside the stadium gates, young people packed into picnic tables outside bars and restaurants, enjoying a warm and muggy Friday night as vendors hawked water, sausages and merchandise. There weren't any federal law enforcement agents around as the game began, as far as this reporter could tell, and even the Metropolitan Police Department presence seemed fairly muted. Two friends, Meredith Barnett, 45, and Kimberly O'Connor, 56, said they had come for the game but also for the Sam Hunt concert that was expected to start at the end of the ninth inning. The pair had come into the city from the Virginia suburbs. Ms. Barnett, a federal contractor, said she was supportive of the efforts President Trump had made to crack down on crime, which she said was a problem in Washington. Just the other day, she said, she saw a man being arrested in downtown Washington after he had tried to mug a woman in broad daylight. 'Cleaning up the city, getting rid of people doing bad things — I just don't understand how anybody cannot support that,' Ms. Barnett said. 'People are doing bad things — shooting people, robbing people.' But both women said they weren't personally concerned about their safety in the city on Friday night or other nights. They still go out at night, and they said it was always a good idea to be aware of one's surroundings. A little before 9 p.m., about an hour after the Navy Yard's nightly youth curfew had gone into effect, a group of federal agents began a patrol of the area, walking slowly down Half Street. They weren't there to enforce the curfew, one agent said, just conducting a normal patrol. The agents, most of whom wore masks over their mouths and noses, wore uniforms that identified them as members of the Secret Service, the Department of Homeland Security and the F.B.I. The group paused on a corner near the stadium's entrance to pose for photos with a young boy and his parents and then continued on their way. As the group of agents passed a bar, one woman sitting at a counter outside called out to them, mockingly. 'Oh, scary,' she called. 'Oh, the F.B.I. I'm scared.'

Lawsuit against Roblox alleges sexploitation of 10-year-old Michigan girl on platform
A new lawsuit against Roblox alleges that a 10-year-old Oakland County, Michigan, girl was subjected to sexual exploitation due to a lack of safety measures by the website. The lawsuit was filed in a U.S. District Court in California, where the company is based, alleging that the platform is a "digital and real-life nightmare for kids" despite its advertising as safe for children. According to the lawsuit, the young girl was targeted by someone posing as a child. The individual allegedly sent the girl graphic messages and explicit photos of himself and convinced her to send him photos. The lawsuit alleges that Roblox "misrepresented and deliberately concealed information about the pervasive predatory conduct that its app enables and facilitates." The lawsuit also claims that the platform has allowed users to create scenarios where their "avatars" can engage in virtual sexual activity, exposing children to the acts. CBS News Detroit contacted Roblox for comment and has not heard back. "For nearly two decades, Roblox has provided a safe 'no questions asked' space for predators to roam freely amongst the very population it was created for… children," said Attorney Matthew Dolman with Dolman Law Group, which filed the lawsuit on behalf of the family. "Roblox's priority is putting as many users on their platform as possible to substantiate and grow their valuation, not the safety of our children and most vulnerable communities." Roblox has faced multiple lawsuits alleging sexual exploitation of children. A lawsuit in February 2025 alleged that a 13-year-old boy from Spokane, Washington, was targeted by a child predator on Roblox and Discord. Additionally, Roblox is also at the center of an alleged kidnapping, where investigators believe a California man met the young girl on the platform. In the Michigan case, the 10-year-old was an avid user and was given permission by her mother, "assured of Roblox's representations of child safety," the law firm said in a news release. The lawsuit alleges that the company made recent child safety changes, such as removing the ability for users to message others outside of games on the app for children under 13 years old and giving parents a separate dashboard to monitor their child's account. However, the lawsuit alleges that predators still can message children on public chats while playing games. "Roblox has left child predators' blueprint for finding children on the application intact since predators have always found children by playing games they know that children will frequent," read the lawsuit, adding that the platform also "failed to address core issues like the app's lack of age verification and refusal to require parental consent to make an account."
