Chicago man charged after crash into Indiana highway wall
Kyle N. Davis, 32, is charged with causing serious bodily injury when operating a vehicle while intoxicated and two misdemeanors.
He is in custody, held on a $2,000 cash bond.
Indiana State Police responded at 12:22 a.m. July 21 to the .02-mile marker on I-80 west in Hammond, just inside the state line.
Davis initially told police he swerved to avoid someone in front of him and hit the wall. Then, as cops went to get the woman's ID, he changed his story, saying they had been at the casino for hours and he lost control of his white Chevrolet Equinox.
'You can test me right now, I ain't even drunk,' he said.
He told police he had a busted lip and an injured leg. His female passenger was taken to the hospital with a cut lip, head pain and 'memory issues.'
An affidavit shows Davis had a no contact order that barred him from seeing the woman. He told police he thought it just prevented them from fighting.

Suspect in Davis Picnic Day shooting now faces federal charge
A suspect arrested in connection with a shooting on Picnic Day in Davis that left three people wounded is now facing federal charges, prosecutors announced on Friday. Federal prosecutors said a criminal complaint was unsealed on Friday, charging 19-year-old Joseph Davis with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Officials said during a search of Davis' apartment, law enforcement seized a short-barrel AR-15 style pistol. Prosecutors said he was prohibited from possessing any firearms and ammunition due to a previous conviction for a gun possession offense. The Davis Police Department announced Davis was arrested in May on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and several firearms-related charges, such as possession of an illegal assault rifle, in connection with the shooting at Community Park on April 12. He has since pleaded not guilty. The shooting left two teenagers and a 24-year-old woman with non-life-threatening injuries. The Davis Police Department has said it suspects there was more than one shooter and the suspects are believed to be outside of the Davis area. However, no other arrests have been announced. Federal prosecutors said Davis could face up to 15 years in prison if he's convicted on the charge. Davis's next scheduled appearance in Yolo County court is on Tuesday.

Purdue basketball star Zach Edey admits to speeding; offers to pay larger fine
LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Former Purdue men's basketball star Zach Edey admitted last week to speeding in excess of 91 mph in a 55-mph zone, according to court records. Edey, currently a Memphis Grizzlies' center, agreed to pay a $500 fine plus $139.50 in court costs. As part of his July 23 agreement with the prosecutor's office, the state dropped the charge of reckless driving, a Class C misdemeanor, which changed Edey's case from a criminal case to a civil infraction case. Tippecanoe County Prosecutor Pat Harrington said Edey's attorney offered the $500 fine during negotiations with prosecutors, and they agreed. The prosecutor's office and Edey's attorney notified the court of the settlement last week. Court records indicated on Tuesday that Edey has not yet paid the debt. Ordinarily, a person with a moving violation who admits to the offense and does not have a prior violation in the county within the past five years pays court costs and $35.50 in fines, according to Indiana law. If a person has a previous violation in the last five years, the fine can be as high as $250, according to state law. If the person has two prior violations, the fine can be as high as $500. An Indiana State Police trooper stopped Edey along Indiana 25 south of West Point on May 1. Court records indicate that the trooper clocked Edey as going 101 mph in a 55-mph zone. He was driving northbound in his Kia Sorento, and the trooper was going southbound. Edey, Purdue's all-time points leader, now has eight points against his driver's license for speeding in excess of 91 mph, according to Indiana law. Earning 20 points on a license results in a suspension. The former Boilermaker was drafted by the Memphis Grizzlies after leading Purdue in the NCAA championship game in 2024. Purdue's men's basketball social media accounts posted a photo of Edey, among other players and alumni, in Mackey on May 6.

Tupac Shakur slaying suspect files appeal with Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss charges
LOS ANGELES -- The man charged with ordering the 1996 killing of rap icon Tupac Shakur in Las Vegas is asking the Nevada Supreme Court to dismiss his murder charges. Duane 'Keffe D' Davis filed an appeal with the court Tuesday after a lower court judge upheld his charges. Davis, the only man ever to be charged in Shakur's killing, was arrested in September 2023. Other conspirators in the drive-by shooting have since died. The 62-year-old has admitted in interviews and in his 2019 tell-all memoir, 'Compton Street Legend,' that he provided the gun used in the shooting. His attorney, Carl Arnold, said Davis' constitutional rights were being violated. 'Mr. Davis cooperated with law enforcement over the course of more than a decade, relying on repeated assurances that his statements would not be used against him — yet those very statements now form the core of the State's case,' Arnold said in a statement. Arnold first filed a motion to dismiss the case in January of this year, alleging constitutional violations because of a 27-year delay in prosecution. He also said Davis had immunity agreements granted to him by federal and local authorities. A district court judge upheld his charges, saying he was not protected from prosecution because he had not provided proof of those immunity deals and that the decades-long delay was not intentional. According to the appeal, Davis was interviewed in 1998 and 1999 by federal prosecutors under the agreement that his statements would not be used to prosecute him. At the time, he denied knowing who was involved in Shakur's killing. He was interviewed again in 2008 and 2009 under the same conditions that he would not be prosecuted with his statements, according to the appeal. It was then that he described his 'alleged involvement in the murder and identified the alleged shooter," the appeal said. Arnold said prosecutors had not presented any evidence connecting Davis to the slaying other than his own statements, which is not enough for a trial. He asked the Nevada Supreme Court to grant their motion to dismiss the case, or recognize that he was granted immunity from prosecution for the statements he made during law enforcement interviews. Davis remains in custody at the Clark County Detention Center. His trial is scheduled to begin in early February 2026. Shakur's death at 25 came as his fourth solo album, 'All Eyez on Me,' remained on the charts, with about 5 million copies sold. Nominated six times for a Grammy Award, Shakur is still largely considered one of the most influential and versatile rappers of all time.
