    CARLISLE, Pennsylvania (WGAL) — A Cumberland County woman is now charged with third-degree murder in her two-year-old daughter’s death several years ago.

Annjalee Nunez, 27, of Carlisle, called 911 on Jan. 10, 2023, saying she thought her daughter, Ivory Nunez, was dead, according to court documents.

“The defendant informed the dispatcher that the child was purple in color and stiff to the touch. The defendant was refusing to go to the room where the child was to check on her,” the affidavit of probable cause states.

Police, fire and EMS responded to the second-floor apartment where Nunez was just after 5 a.m.

“First responders found the child on the bed, face up. The child was found with signs of lividity, and her limbs were in full rigor mortis,” the affidavit states.

Toxicology tests performed on Ivory’s body showed that she had been exposed to fentanyl, investigators said. A doctor ruled the toddler’s death as acute fentanyl toxicity and the manner of death as homicide.

Phone records, searches Detectives obtained a search warrant and obtained Nunez’s phone. According to digital forensics performed on the device, investigators said the following searches, among others, were made and then deleted:

“Where is fennel can get in your system” “Ways that fentanyl gets in your system” “Where is the fennel can get in your system”

Nunez is charged with:

    ENGLEWOOD, Florida (WBBH) — When you step on the diamond, age is irrelevant.

It doesn’t matter if it’s on the playground at school or in a senior league, it has and always will be a kid’s game!

Just ask today’s starting pitcher, Matt “Matty” Mondile, who just turned 90 years old.

Matty served for 30 years in the armed forces with the Navy, and nowadays, his arm is a force in the Englewood Senior Softball League.

Matty said, “I just started off with track in high school and baseball, softball. I just love playing it, that’s it, you know?”

90 years young and still letting the kid inside run wild.

Matty said, “That’s the key; keeping active, don’t slow down. When you slow down, that’s when you get old.”

Matty’s teammate, John Anjos, said, “He is small in stature, but he’s a giant amongst men. He really is. It’s a pleasure to know him, and I feel honored that I had the chance to play with him.”

Age is just a number, just like the score in this game, but Matty was the winning pitcher in case you were wondering.

Neighbor dispute leaves two victims and suspect dead

    PORT ST. LUCIE, Florida (WPBF) — Authorities confirmed that 62-year-old Paul Maraio, the suspect in the Tropical East HOA double homicide, has died.

Port St. Lucie officials say Maraio died around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday morning.

A neighborhood dispute in the Tropical East Community of Port St. Lucie resulted in two deaths and a suspect injured after a standoff with police Thursday afternoon. Port St. Lucie police Chief Leo Niemczyk described the scene as chaotic when officers first arrived.

“You can imagine. There were multiple neighbors out and about in the area. And we had two people shot in two locations and a suspect at large,” Niemczyk said.

The police chief explained that officers immediately asked residents to shelter in place due to the uncertainty of the suspect’s whereabouts. The victims were shot near their homes, and the suspect was identified as one of their neighbors.

“It appears there was some sort of ongoing neighbor dispute and something just brought our suspect to the edge today, where he took things into his own hands,” Niemczyk said.

Police have identified the suspect as Paul Maraio, 62, of Port St. Lucie.

Officers on scene learned that Maraio had fled into a third home, taking a woman inside hostage. SWAT teams and crisis negotiators responded and began a dialogue with him.

“About an hour in, he released the hostage. He was inside the home by himself, armed and barricaded,” Niemczyk said.

The standoff lasted for two and a half hours, during which Maraio informed police that he had shot himself in the chest. Police deployed an interior drone to assess the situation.

“We were able to see where he was in the house. We could eventually see that he was in fact injured,” Niemczyk said.

Officers then entered the home and took Maraio into custody. He was flown to a hospital for treatment of the gunshot wound. Niemczyk stated that if he survives, he will face multiple charges, including two counts of homicide.

Nearby Mariposa Elementary School was not directly involved in the incident, but 14 children who were there for aftercare were kept inside until police deemed it safe for them to leave.

    SPARTANBURG, South Carolina (WYFF) — A South Carolina man is facing charges after police say he entered a dorm through a laundry room window and was found standing at a student’s bed.

A report from the Spartanburg Police Department said an officer was called to Converse University on Monday morning about a suspicious person.

When they arrived, they learned that Dante Lundy, 43, had broken into the Belk Hall through a laundry room window, according to the police report.

After breaking in, Lundy is accused of going into a dorm room and standing by a student’s bed.

The student told police she woke up about 6 a.m. to find a man standing by her bed.

She told officers that she yelled at the man and asked him what he was doing, but he did not respond.

Lundy was identified through an ID card, the report said.

The report said he refused to speak and was taken to the Spartanburg County Detention Center.

Lundy is charged with trespass into enclosed space and third-degree assault and battery.

Converse University issued the following statement about the incident:

“This morning, an arrest was made following an incident of unlawful entry into a university residential hall. Campus Safety was promptly notified and immediately responded to the scene. The subject was located, detained without incident, and subsequently taken into custody. The Spartanburg City Police Department was contacted and arrived promptly to assist and complete the arrest process.

“Campus Safety is conducting a full review of the incident in coordination with the Spartanburg City Police Department.

Residents raise concerns at city council meeting after viral arrest video involving police officer

By Bethany Cates

    GREENSBORO (WXII) — Steps are being taken to release the body cam footage related to the arrest of a man by a Greensboro police officer.

The 25-second video shared on social media shows the officer striking Nathaniel Williams. Greensboro Police Chief John Thompson said the officer was using a standard technique taught in training, called a suprascapular strike to the shoulder area. Williams told WXII 12 News he was hit in the head and feels he was targeted. The Greensboro Police Department also said Williams was resisting arrest. Thompson said he would file a petition so that he can release the video to show the arrest.

As Greensboro City Council members took their seats Monday for one of their last meetings before the new council is sworn in, they were faced with questions from the community about holding law enforcement accountable.

“What gives you the right, what gives you the right to behave this way?” said a community member.

Several people spoke at public comment Monday to let the city council know they want to see a change in how Greensboro police officers use force.

“In this particular case, from what I have seen, it was used to stun that nerve. What you do is when you stun that nerve, it kind of incapacitates that arm temporarily, allowing officers to gain control of that arm,” Thompson said at Thursday’s press conference.

Community members said they want to know more about what led up to the response and they’re calling on city leaders for answers.

“It is a culture of policing that has deep roots in this city’s history that gives you the right; it is the habitual and perpetual failure of the city council and the council’s past,” said a community member.

Council members said they are also working to get answers.

“If he approves the petition, it will go on to superior court hopefully, it will be on the docket by next Monday, but that is completely up to the superior court,” said the city attorney.

Court documents allege former officer self-reported child sexual abuse material

By KETV Staff

    BELLEVUE, Nebraska (KETV) — New court documents allege a former Bellevue Police Department officer self-reported receiving a nude photo from a 17-year-old girl.

Ryan Agustin, 38, was arrested Friday as part of a child enticement investigation. He faces a charge of manufacturing visual depiction of sexually explicit material and felony child abuse.

An affidavit said Agustin had a conversation with an Internal Affairs lieutenant back in June 2025. During that conversation, court documents say Agustin self-reported he was “sent a nude photo by a 17-year-0ld female … via Instagram.”

Agustin reported his Instagram account had been deactivated. Investigators did a search of his email later and found that his account was suspended for “violating community standards on child exploitation, abuse and nudity.”

Investigators then contacted the victim, who disclosed she had sexual contact with the former Bellevue police officer and called her names. She alleged the officer said he would not stop being mean to her until she sent photos.

Court documents say investigators issued search warrants to Meta for the accounts of the victim and the officer. They said they found several messages, videos and images exchanged between the two.

Court documents say Agustin admitted to soliciting photos from the 17-year-old and that he and the victim sent photos to each other on Instagram throughout the past year. They also alleged the two had been in a sexual relationship since the summer of 2024.

Project Harmony said it is difficult for children to come forward about possible abuse.

“It can always be difficult for a child to disclose in any situation, whether it be somebody who is in an authoritative state or if it’s somebody who is just a normal person in their life,” Tippery said.

Jessica Tippery, director of children’s services at Project Harmony, said it’s crucial to ensure children know they’re not in trouble when they come forward. Tippery said children need to know they have a trusted adult they can confide in.

“The most important thing is to be available, so listening to your children, letting them know that you’re there, if they feel like they might be in trouble for something that, they may have played a part in, that they know that, you know, you’re there to support them no matter what,” Tippery said.

When it comes to social media, Tippery said it starts with education before a child creates an account.

“So what information is is okay for them to share and what information should they not be sharing?,” Tippery said. “What should they do if somebody ever, sends them a message or sends them something inappropriate?”

Agustin was fired from the Bellevue Police Department. He is expected to be in court on Wednesday.

Project Harmony said caregivers can always call and speak with one of their advocates to help guide them through any situation. You can also find tips and training on their website.

Yuma County looks to update food codes

Madeline Murray

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – Yuma County is moving towards adopting updated food codes that could impact local restaurants as well as mobile food vendors.

The Yuma County Health District (YCHD) would like to adopt the 2022 Food and Drug Administration food code.

The County says the food code has not been updated since 1999, and says the new code includes temperature changes for hand washing and food holding, requiring all vendors to have a food handlers card and classes to educate vendors on these new laws.

YCHD says it shouldn’t change much of food vendors’ day-to-day operations, but it’s necessary to stay up to date.

“We are emphasizing support not surprise, so we are planning to have educational sessions, more outreach before we roll, roll out the food code,” said Rueben Gonzalez, Environmental Health Programs Manager.

If the new food code is adopted, YCHD says it will give food establishments plenty of time to make the necessary adjustments.
