Woman arrested at dealership after two attempts to receive fraudulent vehicle loan in Fairfax County
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (DC News Now) — A Howard County woman was sentenced in Alexandria after being convicted of bank fraud, aggravated identity theft and possession of a firearm by a felon. 36-year-old Loryn Dorsey stole the identity of two victims, identified as K.R. and Z.B, who had high credit scores in order to obtain a loan for a vehicle in November 2022. She also assumed the fake identity of 'Julia Ball' as part of the conspiracy. On Dec. 6, 2022, Dorsey used K.R.'s information to apply for a loan online in an attempt to purchase a vehicle from a car dealership in Fairfax County. DC police looking for two suspects after teen killed in Northwest shooting The dealership submitted the information to financial institutions to provide the requested credit. Ally Bank was among the banks that received and rejected the application. Later that day, Dorsey again attempted to apply for a loan to buy a car from the same dealership, this time using Z.B.'s stolen information as the co-purchaser and 'Julia Ball' as the co-owner. Through the dealership's website, Dorsey was granted conditional approval of a loan from Ally Bank based on Z.B.'s good credit rating. Dorsey asked a male co-conspirator to pretend to be Z.B. and arranged for someone to create a fake document with Z.B.'s information and the co-conspirator's photograph. The two completed paperwork to purchase a 2015 Cadillac Escalade for $48,629.20, with a $1,000 cash down payment provided by Dorsey. The remaining sum of $47,629.20 was to be financed by Ally Bank. However, their plans were foiled when the Fairfax County police officers arrived at the dealership after the paperwork was completed. When Dorsey was arrested, she was in possession of a firearm. In 2016, Dorsey was convicted of possession with the intent to distribute a controlled substance in Maryland. As a felon, Dorsey cannot legally possess a firearm or ammunition. Dorsey was sentenced to four years in prison for her charges. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

How San Francisco is changing its response to drug addiction
San Francisco is changing its approach to addressing drug addiction with a new policy emphasizing treatment. Why it matters: The city has for years been grappling with a deadly drug epidemic fueled largely by fentanyl. Driving the news: Last week, Mayor Daniel Lurie signed District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey's " Recovery First" ordinance to guide the city's response to addressing substance abuse with an emphasis on long-term remission and drug-free living as its primary goals. The big picture: With this new approach, San Francisco will be prioritizing programs that help people find treatment and stay sober in the long run, instead of short-term solutions that "do the very least" for helping drug users, according to Dorsey. What they're saying:"If there are people who are choosing to use drugs and who are resistant to getting in recovery, we should at least make their drug use safer. But the reality is that is literally the least we can do — we should be doing more," Dorsey, a recovering addict, told Axios. "Having a statement of policy that is a clear, self-directed and healthy life, free from illicit drug use is what we're aspiring to through the process of recovery." Catch up quick: The largely symbolic piece of legislation builds on Lurie's efforts to combat the city's converging homelessness and addiction crises that he's been addressing with initiatives like a new $37.5 million fund for mental health and housing services, an emergency fentanyl ordinance and addition of 279 new treatment beds. Between the lines: The new policy also comes amid the mayor's campaign to roll back some harm reduction programs, a practice that has helped save lives and prevent overdoses but faces criticism for enabling addiction. "Our goal is not only to keep people alive, but to ensure people have access to drug treatment where they can overcome addiction and get their lives back," said Steve Adami, executive director of the Way Out, a recovery-focused homelessness initiative of The Salvation Army. The other side: Jennifer Friedenbach, executive director at the Coalition on Homelessness, said a lack of stable housing has been a big contributor to people falling back into addiction. While harm reduction has also been a crucial tool, the demand for resources has been too high to see visible results. "Why are people seeing so much visible drug use?," she said. "It's not that the system failed, from a perspective of the programs not working. It's failed because there's not enough capacity in the system in these programs to treat everybody who needs it." The bottom line: While Dorsey said he is not against harm reduction due to the non-linear nature of recovery, he hopes this new approach will better demonstrate the city's commitment to getting people help and off the streets.

Lions players coming off injury to watch in OTAs
Lions players coming off injury to watch in OTAs With the Lions first OTA (organized team activities) starting today, here are players to watch who are coming off injuries. Some of these players have yet to be seen this offseason, so their first appearance may be very informative. The dates of OTA are May 28-30 and June 3-5. After OTA's are over, I'll check back to recap what we learned about these players. Important to note that OTA's are voluntary so an absence doesn't necessarily indicate a health issue. The Lions cancelled their mandatory minicamp which was scheduled for June 10-12. Thus any players that skip OTA's may not be seen until training camp starts in late July. Aidan Hutchinson Left tibia/fibula fracture - October 13, 2024 His last rehab video showed that he still had some weakness in his left leg. What will his participation level be during OTA? Full participation would be fantastic of course, but I suspect he'll still be cautiously limited as he gradually ramps up towards training camp. Any limitation he has during OTA should not be cause for concern as all indications are he is on-track to be ready for the season opener at Lambeau. Alim McNeill Right ACL - December 15, 2024 It sounds like rehab is going smoothly so far, but I wouldn't expect any football activities during OTA as he's still letting that ACL heal and rehabbing his leg. Maybe we'll see him doing some individual work on the side. I expect a return around week 11 which is November 16 vs the Eagles. That 11-month timeline would still give him 8 regular season games plus playoffs. Malcolm Rodriguez Right ACL - November 28, 2024 Like McNeill, Rodriguez probably won't be doing any football activities yet. An 11-month recovery would have him return at the end of October. Marcus Davenport Left triceps rupture - September 22, 2024 I have yet to see any offseason updates on Davenport so this OTA could be the first glimpse of where he's at. There is a good chance that the triceps is ready to go, so hopefully he is a full participant. Derrick Barnes Right knee MCL/PCL - September 22, 2024 Barnes has shown up earlier at offseason workouts, albeit with significant right leg atrophy. He might not do everything at OTA but should be ready for the season. Mekhi Wingo Right knee meniscus - November 28, 2024 We have yet to see Wingo this offseason so OTA may tell us a lot. A suspected meniscus repair carries a multi-month recovery, but there is a good chance he is close to ready or even fully ready now. Tyleik Williams Hamstring strain - March 26, 2025 Williams appeared to strain his hamstring during his pro day and was limited during rookie minicamp. He may be ready to fully participate in OTA's. Khalil Dorsey Right tibia/fibula fracture - December 15, 2024 Dorsey has a similar injury to Hutchinson, but Dorsey's injury occurred two months later. He has a good chance to be ready for the start of the season but is unlikely to be doing anything too strenuous during these OTA's. Amik Robertson Left humerus fracture - January 18, 2025 The humerus is fully healed at this point and I'd expect full participation in OTA. There is no tackling in OTA so there shouldn't be any risk to his arm. Ahmed Hassanein Right ankle - December 31, 2024 The Lions 6th-rounder was playing through a suspected ankle sprain in his final college game. All indications are that he is fully recovered which means he should be a full participant in OTA. Pat O'Connor Calf - January 5, 2025 O'Connor participated in offseason workouts earlier so I expect him to be a full participant in OTA. Ennis Rakestraw Hamstring - November 23, 2024 The hamstring ended his season, but he was close to a return for the playoffs. He was at offseason workouts earlier so should be a full participant in OTA. David Montgomery Right MCL - December 15, 2024 In offseason workout pics, Montgomery looked strong and healthy. I'd expect him to be a full participant in OTA. Graham Glasgow Although Glasgow only missed one game last year with an unspecified knee issue, he was listed with a knee at least one other time during the year. Last year was a down year by his standards and a chronic or recurrent knee issue could have been a factor. It will be interesting to monitor how he is looking this offseason. Christian Mahogany While Mahogany looked very good in limited action last year, he was sporting a right knee brace all season. It's uncertain the reason for the brace but he does have a history of a right ACL tear in 2022. Will he still be wearing the brace in 2025? Brodric Martin Right knee hyperextension - August 24, 2024 The knee injury knocked him out of the first half of last season. He wasn't activated until mid-November and only played 25 defensive snaps all year. Could there have been lingering effects from the knee that sabotaged his season? Hopefully, his knee is fully healed and he looks good during OTA.

Mayor Lurie to avoid big cuts to S.F. public safety agencies in upcoming budget
Mayor Daniel Lurie will not cut funding for San Francisco's police officers, prosecutors, firefighters and other core public safety workers as part of his upcoming budget, carving out exceptions from the 15% cuts requested across all city departments, according to sources familiar with the matter. The decision comes as Lurie grapples with a roughly $800 million, two-year budget deficit that he must close in his budget proposal due June 1. In the final days of her term last year, then-Mayor London Breed ordered all departments to find a way to cut 15% from their budget proposals to help close the gap. But a few departments ignored those instructions when presenting their plans to Lurie, arguing that they were already operating as frugally as possible. District Attorney Brooke Jenkins was among the department heads who balked at the requested cuts, telling supervisors this month that it would force her to let go of 25 attorneys. The prosecutors who remained, she said, would have 'unmanageable caseloads.' In a statement, Lurie said continuing to drive down crime was crucial 'to bring our city back.' 'A difficult budget requires difficult choices, but we must always prioritize the safety of San Franciscans—that's why our budget will support the men and women in uniform keeping our city safe with absolutely zero cuts to sworn officers,' Lurie said. 'No matter what comes our way, we must keep our residents safe and bring our economy back, and that's what this budget is going to accomplish.' 'We have made tremendous strides over the last three years to make our city safer, and I look forward to continue making progress in partnership with Mayor Lurie and the San Francisco Police Department going forward,' she said in a statement. Supervisor Matt Dorsey, whose district includes the city's long-troubled SoMa neighborhood, said he was briefed on Lurie's plans to maintain public safety funding was grateful. 'I know that's not going to be easy in a very difficult budget year,' Dorsey said. 'But I think it's essential.' Dorsey, a former police spokesman who has long pushed to boost the ranks of the city's force, said his district's residents and employers are consistently calling for fully funded public safety agencies. 'It's a problem we can't afford not to solve,' he said. While many of the finer points of the budget proposal remain unclear, two city sources who the Chronicle agreed not to name since they were not authorized to speak to the press said the plan would both spare cuts to certain public safety functions and allow for boosts in pay for some positions. Police officers and firefighters and others would receive the raises secured in their contracts, and the Department of Emergency Management would receive more money to fund classes for 911 operators. Other agencies spared from certain budget cuts would include the sheriff's office, the fire department, the district attorney's office and public defenders. It was not clear, however, whether there would be proposed cuts to some of the agencies' non-sworn or administrative functions. In a statement, officials with the Public Defender's office said they had received preliminary indications that their budget would remain intact, and that they would 'welcome the decision.' 'It's important to recognize the broader context: year after year, law enforcement agencies continue to receive substantial increases in funding —resources that are often used to expand arrests and prosecutions, even as crime rates decline,' the statement said. 'Meanwhile, our office faces mounting challenges without a corresponding increase in resources. … Now more than ever, funding public defense is essential to upholding due process and a just legal system.'
