Couple confront a suspect on video after they spot him near a burning tree in Runyon Canyon
Scott Anthony Mitchell and Davanh DiMarco of Hollywood were on their regular Sunday hike at Runyon Canyon when they saw a Palm tree on fire and a man emerging from the bushes nearby. Six months after they evacuated their home during the Sunset fire in the same area, the couple were aware of the risks of flames in the Hollywood Hills, home to multimillion-dollar houses and acres of wildlife habitat. Together, they detained the suspect and caught him on video apparently admitting to starting the blaze. 'There was no doubt in my mind he did it,' said DiMarco, a designer. In the man's hand was what appeared to be a lighter, she said. Mitchell, 41, is a former professional football player, and was able to chase the suspect down, quickly closing a 150-yard gap. Given that the incident occurred toward the end of a hilly hike, 'I was just surprised I had a little left in the tank,' he joked. By the time DiMarco got her cellphone camera rolling, Mitchell was already confronting the suspect. 'I made sure he knew that he wasn't going anywhere,' Mitchell said. Other hikers on the busy trail joined in to help detain the man and to call the police and fire authorities. Some passersby filmed in the now-viral video of the encounter expressed frustration at the man. The Los Angeles Fire Department arrived at the scene with helicopters and fire trucks, and the fire was out within an hour. State park rangers and Los Angeles Police Department officers arrested the suspect, according to LAFD spokesperson Margaret Stewart. LAPD officials did not identify the suspect and referred all questions about the incident to state park rangers, who did not respond immediately to calls for comment. After the couple left, the shock set in. DiMarco uploaded the video when the couple got off the hill. 'I didn't realize how big it would be,' she said. 'It's sad that he admitted that he did that and didn't care.' Their video was viewed hundreds of thousands of times on Instagram. Among thousands of comments were some claiming they saw the same man at other parks trying to set fires. The couple had time to think back to the deadly fires of January. The Sunset fire burned 43 acres near Runyon Canyon and triggered massive evacuations Jan. 8 but damaged no homes. Still, it ignited during the same period of strong winds that fueled the devastating fires that burned in Altadena and Pacific Palisades, taking 30 lives. 'We don't wanna relive that, and we don't want anybody else to have to relive that,' Mitchell said.

Suspected Los Angeles arsonist run down by former college football player
A former college football player ran down a suspected arsonist, and Los Angeles firefighters tackled hillside flames before the burning brush could get out of control, officials said Tuesday. One-time University of Kentucky wide receiver Scott Mitchell and girlfriend Davanah DiMarco were out on their regular 7-mile hike on Sunday when they came upon a burning tree and a suspicious, disheveled man leaving the scene. "'Oh wait, that tree's on fire,'" Mitchell recalled DiMarco telling him. "'Hey, that guy lit that tree on fire. He started that fire. Get him!' " By this point, that man was about 150 yards down the road. And then all of a sudden, Mitchell found himself back on an SEC gridiron in the fall of 2004 or 2005. "Even without digging, I was able to chase that guy down," Mitchell told NBC News. "I didn't know I still had it, I'm not going to lie." The man told the couple he was a fire marshal and started the blaze as part of a controlled burn — a tale they didn't believe given his disheveled state. "So I asked him, 'Where's your badge, fire marshal?'" said Mitchell, a talent manager. "And there was nobody else over there, so you can reasonably deduct that he set the fire." Other hikers on the trail helped keep the man at bay and called 911. Andrew Wistic O'Calliham, a 43-year-old homeless man, was booked on suspicion of arson upon a structure or forest land, jail records showed. He was being held in lieu of $75,000 bail on Tuesday. Aerial personnel and about 53 firefighters on the ground 'fully extinguished all active flames' along Runyon Canyon Road in the Hollywood Hills on Sunday afternoon, according to an LAFD statement. Mitchell and DiMarco were evacuated during the devastating Eaton Fire earlier this year, so they're hyper-sensitive to smell or sight of any flames.

NYC influencer accuses scandal-plagued Brandy Melville of ripping off her logo on new t-shirt: ‘They're so shameless'
A Big Apple fashion designer is accusing the scandal-plagued fast-fashion chain Brandy Melville — worn by pop star Ariana Grande and other celebs — of ripping off her western-themed logo. 'Brandy Melville stole my logo and put it all over a bunch of shirts, and we're doing some investigative research today to see if they're in store and, unfortunately, buy them, so I can get them to my lawyer,' influencer Emma DiMarco, the founder of the Brooklyn-based vintage and apparel brand 'Kissing Cowboys,' said in a May 31 Instagram video. The clip then shows DiMarco, 29, inside of Brandy Melville's Union Square location, pulling one of its $21 red T-shirts – which bears the words 'Kissing Cowboys' in white font and a black-colored silhouette of a cowboy – off a hanger. Advertisement 'I'm, like, actually speechless. This is so insane,' DiMarco continued in the video, which has amassed nearly 175,000 views. Brandy Melville, which launched in Italy in the 1990s before coming to the US in 2009, has repeatedly been accused of fostering a toxic environment — racial and size discrimination included — among its workers, according to reports.

Kissing Cowgirls/ Instagram 3 Brandy Melville removed the $21 t-shirt off its website this week. Helayne Seidman DiMarco claims the popular fashion brand has now victimized her as well, by stealing and profiting off of the design she created for a vintage pop-up she hosted in Brooklyn last year, which remains visible on her public Instagram profile. Advertisement 'They must have screenshotted the flyer and removed the cigarette from the cowboy's mouth … but the space between the letters, the letters, and the space between the cowboy's head — it's all the same,' DiMarco fumed. 'They're so shameless — that's the part that makes me really angry, is that they're basically like, 'What the f–k are you going to do about it?' DiMarco told The Post. 3 'They're so shameless – that's the part that makes me really angry,' DiMarco, who sells her own 'Kissing Cowboy'-brand merch, told The Post. Helayne Seidman Advertisement The fast-fashion chain removed the t-shirt from their website this week. DiMarco is still considering taking legal action against the company, she said. Brandy Melville did not respond to The Post's requests for comment.

Son of a PGA Tour winner, Canadian teen and investment banker qualify for RBC Canadian Open
Just a couple weeks after making his Korn Ferry Tour debut, Cristian DiMarco is moving on up to the big time. The 29-year-old son of three-time PGA Tour winner and former U.S. Ryder Cupper Chris DiMarco, carded five birdies and two bogeys and shot 3-under 68 at The Pulpit Club on Sunday to take medalist honors at the RBC Canadian Open qualifier. In doing so, he earned one of four open spots into the field of 156 and secured his first start at a PGA Tour event. [It was held on Sunday rather than Monday to make way for U.S. Open Final Qualifying.] Advertisement DiMarco, who played his college golf at University of South Florida and remains a Tampa resident, previously played on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica in 2019 and 2022, making just one cut each year, and PGA Tour Canada in 2023, where he also managed to make just one cut in five starts. But he recently Monday qualified for the KFT's AdventHealth Championship and made the cut, finishing T-45. A southpaw who putts right-handed, DiMarco earned a spot in the field at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley (North Course) in Caledon, Ontario. DiMarco's father, 56, who lost to Tiger Woods in a playoff at the 2005 Masters and to Vijay Singh at the 2004 PGA Championship, played in the RBC Canadian Open 17 times, including recording a T-9 in 1998. Yi Cao and Josh Goldenberg both made five birdies and three bogeys and tied for second at 2-under 69. Like DiMarco, Goldenberg had never made a start even in a KFT event and started a job in March at investment bank Goldman Sachs. But with the qualifier being held on Sunday, he decided to give it a go. 'A dream come true,' he told Moday Q Info's Ryan French. Eighteen-year-old Canadian amateur Matthew Javier, a Team Canada NextGen member, overcame a double bogey to shoot 70 and won a two-for-one playoff for the final spot over Toronto's Mark Hoffman.
