Travis Hunter's father released from jail in Florida
The father of Jacksonville Jaguars rookie Travis Hunter is being released from jail in Palm Beach County, Florida, after the state of Florida decided at a court hearing July 24 to withdraw its allegation that he violated his probation there. Travis Hunter Sr., 39, was arrested July 22 after he allegedly violated his probation stemming from drug and gun charges in 2023. Advertisement His probation officer said he violated the 'community control' portion of his three-year probation sentence when there was an 11-minute lapse in tracking his whereabouts on his electronic monitoring device. Under community control, he is generally required to be confined to his home under monitoring from the device, which generated a 'bracelet gone' alarm for 11 minutes on the night of June 28, according to the officer's report. 'It was beeping for I think 10 or 11 minutes, and then it was plugged back in, and they verified that he's where he was supposed to be (at his home),' Hunter's attorney Bradford Cohen said via Zoom at a court hearing July 24. 'I don't know if it was a low battery.' As a result of the alleged violation, Hunter Sr. was taken into custody and held without bond until the hearing in court before Judge Howard Coates July 24. Hunter's attorney told the judge he was prepared to admit to the probation violation as part of an agreement with the state to release Hunter and reinstate the terms of Hunter's probation. But the judge advised that such an admission would require a guilty plea that could stack up against Hunter Sr. if he violated probation again. 'Once you get the violation, it's cumulative in this court,' the judge said at the hearing, which was also viewable via Zoom. 'The second violation will be dealt with more harshly.' Advertisement The attorney for the state then agreed to just withdraw the allegation instead and reinstate the terms of his probation as if it never happened. 'Mr. Hunter, you should be released forthwith,' the judge said. 'There will be an order entered reinstating your probation.' Travis Hunter's father in the spotlight more as son soars Hunter Sr. has been in the public eye recently after his son, the Heisman Trophy winner from Colorado, mentioned him in his speech at the Heisman ceremony in December. Hunter Jr. brought attention to his legal situation then when he mentioned his father couldn't be there then or at other times previously. Advertisement Travis Hunter's father arrested in Florida after alleged probation violation Then in recent months, Hunter Sr. has made special requests in court related to his son. He asked for the court's permission to attend the NFL draft with his son in Wisconsin in April and then attend his son's wedding in Tennessee in May. The judge granted both requests. But the judge denied his request to modify his probation so he could be with his son more frequently as he begins his rookie season in Jacksonville. Why Travis Hunter's father is on probation His probation stems from traffic stop in Lantana, Florida, in November 2023, after the police said he didn't have 'any lights for the tag' on his car, according to the police report. Police identified him as a habitual traffic offender with no driver's license and subjected him to a search that allegedly found drugs and a backpack with a pistol and loaded magazine, according to court records. Advertisement Hunter Sr., a former standout athlete in Palm Beach County, ended up being charged with illegally possessing a firearm as a convicted felon after a prior conviction in 2018 for 'sale or possession of heroin with intent to sell.' He reached a plea deal in 2024 that included a sentence of 90 days in jail. He got released on Dec. 5, just nine days before his son's Heisman ceremony in New York. He also was sentenced to three years of probation, including one year of community control supervision. Follow reporter Brent Schrotenboer @Schrotenboer.

EXCLUSIVE 'I looked at the camera and my blood ran cold': Mother describes her horror at seeing CCTV of a pervert burglar who broke into her Marbella home in the dead of night - and leered her naked body as she slept
A woman has told how she felt violated after a burglar broke into her home in the dead of the night and leered at her naked body as she slept. Angie Castillo was in a deep sleep laying next to her boyfriend Alex Varona, 34, when the intruder hold a torch gained entry to their Costa Del Sol property and and 'inspect' her close up. Angie, a mother-of-one, was unaware of what had happened to her until the following day when she noticed her purse was missing and the couple checked the CCTV footage in their home. To their horror, the 32-minute clip showed the masked raider silently creeping around their bedroom looking at Angie on the bed. He appeared to be fixated with her as he repeatedly shone his torch over her body. Speaking exclusively to MailOnline Angie said she could have been raped if she'd been sleeping alone. 'I looked at the camera and my blood ran cold', she said. 'The guy came into the room eight times. He was looking in between my legs, at my intimate parts, looking at my face. He forgot all about the burglary. He was more interested in looking at me.' 'I was very scared, I was shaking. I was in shock. The day before my boyfriend Alex had been in Germany. If I had been alone this man might have raped me. 'Half an hour after he left the house, I went to the toilet. Perhaps if I had seen him I would have screamed. Alex would have done something. But the intruder might have been carrying a knife or a pistol.' 'I am still traumatised by this,' she said. 'Before I go to the toilet at night, I look at the cameras. If Alex leaves the bed at night, I jump. I am now seeing a psychologist.' Instead of stealing her gold ring, €400 Philipp Plein watch or other jewellery, he only took €300 in cash from her purse and dumped it. Spanish police are analysing the security footage to identify the suspect, but no arrests have been yet made. Angie's teenage son was also sleeping in the room next door at the time. 'Marbella is a bit dangerous now with people coming into people's houses. I would advise people to put alarms in their homes,' she said. Mr Varona, a Brazilian black belt jiu-jitsu champion, said if he had woken up when the intruder was there, the outcome would have been different. 'I can detain nearly anyone. Someone came into our house and with the knowledge that I have, you can imagine how angry I felt. If I had woken up then the video that everyone has seen on social media would have been very different, I would have detained him until the authorities would have arrived, without doing him any harm.' He had returned from a jiu-jitsu tournament in Germany the day before. The couple went to the cinema and finally went to bed late deeply. 'The intruder did not steal anything from me, but perhaps he stole my pride. For me being a jiu-jitsu black belt and doing what I do, I should not have any excuse. I train about three times a day, six days a week, sometimes seven and I could not do anything with this intruder in our house,' he said. The couple did not report the burglary immediately partly out of embarrassment and because they felt that as the intruder wore a mask, gloves and socks, they doubted if he could be caught by police. Later, they found the courage to report it after being encouraged to by friends. Disturbed by the intruder's behaviour and desperate to catch him, police published the footage. The incident comes as residents in Spain have been warned to beef up their security systems after more burglaries. In more footage, a man is seen wearing a mask and a grey hoodie and breaking into a series of villas between San Pedro de Alcantara in Marbella and Benahavis. Dubbed the San Pedro Prowler, he is seen picking locks with a sharp tool. He then walked off carrying luxury items including handbags and jewellery. Among the recent stolen items include €10,000 in cash and a €30,000 watch. The robber appeared to be wearing no shoes, just in socks apparently to avoid alerting anyone inside the house. Neighbourhoods he has targeted include Guadalmina, and La Quinta, in upmarket Benahavis.

Canadian star swimmer Oleksiak notified of anti-doping rules violation
TORONTO — Swim star Penny Oleksiak of Toronto has been notified of an apparent anti-doping rule violation by the International Testing Agency. According to the ITA, Oleksiak committed three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period between October 2024 and June 2025. She has been made aware of the case and has accepted a voluntary provisional suspension pending the resolution of the matter. She has the right to provide her explanations for each of the three whereabouts failures. Given that the case is underway, there will be no further comments from the ITA, World Aquatics or Oleksiak during the ongoing proceedings. That implies that the third missed test came after Oleksiak qualified for the Canadian team at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Oleksiak announced two weeks ago that she was withdrawing from the World Championship team and accepting a voluntary provisional suspension. Any eventual sanction would be reduced by the amount of time she was suspended under the voluntary provisional suspension. In the post, Oleksiak asserted "I am and always have been a clean athlete' and that the case 'does not involve any banned substance; it's about whether I updated my information correctly.' Swimming Canada echoed the sentiment and said 'We support her decision and believe she is a clean athlete who made an administrative mistake.' A Whereabouts Case is an Anti-Doping rule violation that can affect athlete eligibility even if they have never taken a banned substance. The World Anti-Doping Code defines a Whereabouts failure as any combination of three missed tests or filing failures in a 12-month period. Athletes who are members of the 'Registered Testing Pool' which is the highest tier of athlete testing, are required to report an accurate and up-to-date filing of their whereabouts at all times. This is so they can be drug tested at any time and any place with no advance notice. According to World Aquatics, if an athlete in the testing pool submits 'late, inaccurate or incomplete whereabouts that lead to (them) being unavailable for testing, (they) may receive a Filing Failure.'
