Alleged trespasser at Memphis mayor's home charged with attempted kidnapping
A man accused of trespassing at the home of the Memphis, Tennessee, mayor has been charged with attempted kidnapping and stalking, according to police, who said the suspect had a Taser, gloves, rope and duct tape in his vehicle at the time of his arrest. The suspect was apprehended and charged after police investigated "suspicious activity" in Mayor Paul Young's neighborhood, the Memphis Police Department said Wednesday. "On Sunday night, around 9:30 pm, a man jumped a wall leading into our subdivision," Young said in a statement. "We now know that he walked straight to our home, knocking on the door with gloves on, a full pocket, and a nervous demeanor." Surveillance footage showed that the individual went directly to the mayor's residence upon scaling the wall and did not approach any other home in the neighborhood, according to the Memphis Police Department. The suspect -- 25-year-old Trenton Abston -- has been charged with attempted kidnapping, stalking and aggravated criminal trespass, police said. He is detained at the Shelby County Sheriff's Office jail and is scheduled to appear in court on Friday, online jail records show. It is unclear if he has an attorney at this time. The Memphis Police Department credited the "rapid response" of its officers and the surveillance footage throughout the neighborhood with quickly identifying, locating and arresting the suspect. "We understand the concerns raised by this incident and want to reassure the public that the Memphis Police Department remains fully committed to the safety of all residents, including our city's elected officials," the department said in a press release. "We take any potential threat seriously and will continue to act swiftly and thoroughly." The incident comes amid heightened concerns over violence against elected officials, after two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses were shot on Saturday in what prosecutors called "political assassinations." Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed, and Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, were wounded in the attacks. Young, who has served as Memphis' mayor since January 2024, cited the Minnesota shootings while making a plea that political violence "cannot become our norm." "In today's climate, especially after the tragic events in Minnesota and the threats my wife and I often receive online, none of us can be too careful," Young said in a statement on Instagram while sharing a photo of him and his family. "The link between angry online rhetoric and real-life violence is becoming undeniable." "Let's do better," he added. "Let's raise our discourse, reduce the hate, and protect one another -- no matter our beliefs. Let's reclaim our strength as one community. Let's choose love."

South Miami woman speaks out after man arrested in indecent exposure case
A South Miami woman is speaking out exclusively with CBS News Miami after she said a man followed her in his car and exposed himself during her morning walk. "I was terrified," the woman said. "I didn't know what else was going to happen. I didn't know. I was alone. I didn't know if he was going to put me in his car. I was very, very scared." She requested her identity remain confidential but said she felt it was important to speak publicly to encourage other victims to come forward. South Miami Police said the incident is part of a wider pattern that may involve multiple victims in surrounding communities. Morning walk turns frightening The incident happened around 8:45 a.m. on Saturday, June 7, near 5800 SW 86th Street in South Miami. The woman said she was on her usual morning walk when she noticed something strange. "I was walking through my neighborhood and I felt a car following me. I was about to turn down a street, but I decided otherwise," she said. Roughly 20 minutes later, she saw the same vehicle again. "The same car pulled up and when I walked past it, the windows were down and the man was fully exposed, staring at me," she said. "He was touching himself." The woman immediately called her husband and then the police. Thanks to a witness who recorded the car's license plate number, authorities were able to identify a suspect. The victim later confirmed the suspect's identity through a photo lineup. At 7 a.m. the following morning, police arrested 34-year-old Demetrius Reshad Sams at his home. Suspect may be tied to multiple cases South Miami Police Sgt. Fernando Bosch said Sams was arrested after a joint investigation with Coral Gables Police. Surveillance video showing a 2021 black Dodge Charger, the same vehicle allegedly used in the incident, was released by South Miami Police to CBS News Miami. "We believe this individual has done this in other municipalities close by," Bosch said. "There are probably four to five cases with the same M.O. We believe he has been doing this for a while. Things like this can escalate." Bosch added that while Sams has admitted to being in the area, he denies exposing himself. Public records show Sams has previously been cited for traffic infractions, including fleeing and eluding. Call for more victims to come forward Authorities are urging anyone who may have experienced a similar incident to contact police. "If they can contact the police station and let them know if they experienced any similar situation," the woman said. Both South Miami and Coral Gables police are asking potential victims or witnesses to come forward. South Miami Police can be reached at (305) 663-6301, or tips can be submitted anonymously to Miami-Dade Crime Stoppers at (305) 471-TIPS (8477). "I very much enjoyed walking in my neighborhood. It is a safe and nice community. Now, I feel that has been taken away from me," the woman said.
