GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A Gainesville resident, 78-year-old Katie Graham Wilson, found herself in police custody on charges of allegedly threatening a family member with a knife during a heated altercation.
Just before 10 p.m. on June 12, a Gainesville Police officer was dispatched to Pine Grove Apartments, located at 1901 NE 2nd Street, following a report of a domestic disturbance. Notably, this was the officer’s second visit to the same address that evening, as he had been called there only minutes earlier.
According to the victim’s account, the argument with Wilson escalated when she reportedly grabbed a butcher knife from the kitchen and brandished it in the living room. The victim expressed fear for his safety, noting that although frequent disagreements occurred, they had never reached such a threatening level before.
After being read her Miranda rights, Wilson allegedly confessed to wielding the knife, acknowledging her frustration over what she described as ongoing disrespect from the victim. However, she insisted she had not directly threatened the victim, asserting that he was aware she had no intention of causing harm.
After the officer placed Wilson in handcuffs, she reportedly said that the victim also had a knife, but he pulled it after she already had a knife in her hand.
Wilson has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. She has two misdemeanor convictions (both violent); she was arrested in 2024 for cutting a neighbor with a knife in the elevator of her apartment building, but that charge was later dropped. Judge David Kreider ordered her held without bail pending a hearing on a motion from the State Attorney’s Office to hold her without bail until trial; if the judge denies the motion, bail will be set at that hearing.
Articles about arrests are based on reports from law enforcement agencies. The charges listed are taken from the arrest report and/or court records and are only accusations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Steamy high temperatures in the mid 90s Saturday afternoon.
ORLANDO, Fla. – Saturday brought scorching temperatures to the region, with the mercury soaring into the mid-90s and heat indices surpassing the 100ºF mark. Despite the heat, most of the area stayed dry, with only a few isolated storms popping up. As the evening progressed, a handful of storms lingered until around 10 p.m., after which the skies cleared to partly cloudy conditions, promising a dry night ahead.
Mid 90s expected Sunday afternoon with scattered sea breeze storms.
Looking ahead to Sunday, residents can expect a repeat of Saturday’s weather, though with a slight twist. The day will kick off dry, featuring a blend of sunshine and clouds, but as the afternoon heats up, more scattered storms are anticipated. The combination of sunshine and a gentle southwest wind will again push temperatures into the mid-90s, with the heat index soaring between 100ºF and 105ºF.
Scattered sea breeze storms hovering around I-4 late Sunday afternoon.
Storm activity is likely to ramp up around 2 p.m., driven by a stronger westerly flow that will push these storms toward the east coast later in the day, lasting into the early evening hours.
Upper level ridging expected to build over Florida next week.
As the week progresses, expect the heat to intensify. A ridge of high pressure is predicted to form in the mid-upper levels of the atmosphere over Florida, ushering in a period of sinking, warming air across Central Florida. This atmospheric setup will not only reduce the likelihood of rain but also lead to higher temperatures.
High temperatures expected to remain above average into next week.
By the end of the week and into the weekend, temperatures could climb from the mid to upper 90s, with heat indices climbing well beyond 100ºF, marking a particularly hot spell for the region.

Mexican authorities have uncovered a decomposing body showing “signs of violence” near Tijuana’s Caliente Stadium, where the Iranian national soccer team is currently training for the World Cup, as reported by the New York Post.
The discovery came after authorities responded to complaints about a foul odor emanating from a gray Toyota SUV with California license plates, which was parked in a supermarket parking lot close to the stadium, according to the Post.
“Upon inspecting the vehicle, they found a person wrapped in a black bag in the trunk, showing signs of violence,” a spokesperson from the Tijuana prosecutor’s office confirmed to the Post.
The report further detailed that the vehicle had a damaged rear end and was fitted with a license plate holder from a local Tijuana car dealership.

Inset: Billy Joe Nelson (Crawford County Sheriff”s Office). Background: The road near where Nelson shot and killed two men in Chester, Ark. (Google Maps).
Two men from Arkansas are facing extraordinarily long prison sentences, though their roles and punishments differ significantly.
Back in May, 45-year-old Billy Joe Nelson admitted guilt to two charges of first-degree murder and was also charged as a habitual offender. His crimes led to the deaths of Jay Collins, aged 66, and Donny Shipp, aged 70.
For these actions, Nelson received a hefty sentence totaling 160 years in an Arkansas prison. This sentence breaks down into two 80-year terms for each murder, to be served consecutively.
More recently, Eddie Sterling, aged 54, has also pleaded guilty, but to lesser charges of hindering apprehension and tampering with physical evidence. His sentence amounts to 20 years in prison.
The tragic events unfolded in late June 2025 at Collins’ residence on Lands End Road in Chester, a small town nestled in the Ozarks, approximately 30 miles northeast of Fort Smith, near the Oklahoma border.
Both victims were found shot inside the residence late at night, Crawford County Sheriff Daniel Perry told Fort Smith-based ABC affiliate KHBS and Fayetteville-based The CW Plus affiliate KHOG, which collectively broadcast as “40/29 News.”
Investigators say the defendants visited the victims’ residence earlier that same day and left after arguing about money.
“There was some discussion between the two about some debt between the families,” Perry told the local TV stations. “And one had made a threat to the other one that if the debt didn’t get taken care of, that there would be consequences for their actions.”
Then, Nelson and Sterling went back to the house and an altercation began anew – this time ending with gunfire.
“Words were exchanged, and they pulled a gun and started shooting,” the sheriff added.
Nelson fired multiple shots – killing both men. Collins died at the scene of the crime. Shipp was airlifted to a nearby hospital but ultimately succumbed to his injuries.
Sterling did not fire a weapon that day. Instead, his role was in securing the gun used to commit the crime.
“Eddie Sterling said he went and got the gun,” Perry explained. “He is not the shooter, but he was the one that went and retrieved the gun for the two.”
During an interview, Sterling said he drove Nelson to the house so they could “work out a deal to protect [Sterling] and his family,” according to an affidavit obtained by Rogers-based NBC affiliate KNWA.

The less-culpable man said he did not know Nelson actually intended to hurt anyone that fateful day.
Sterling also admitted to angling the car in such a way so that he and Nelson could make a quick break for it “in case something happened.”
And something did.
Sterling stayed in the vehicle while Nelson went inside. He recalled hearing more than five shots reverberating through the wooded area near the Boston Mountains – and then he heard Nelson shouting “Go!” as he jumped into the vehicle, according to the affidavit.
Brazil narrowly emerged as the leader in a challenging group that included Cameroon, Switzerland, and Serbia during their recent campaign. Despite an unexpected loss to Cameroon in their final group match and the setback of Neymar’s injury in their opener against Serbia, the team showed resilience.
In the round of 16, Brazil delivered a spectacular performance with a 4-1 victory over South Korea. However, their journey came to an abrupt end when they bowed out in the quarter-finals after a penalty shootout loss to Croatia. This marked yet another disappointment for the Brazilian squad. However, this moment is seen as a new beginning for the team.
Meanwhile, Morocco’s journey was nothing short of remarkable. They successfully navigated the “group of death,” which included Croatia, Canada, and Belgium, ultimately sending Belgium packing.
Morocco then faced the daunting challenge of Spain in the round of 16. In a dramatic turn of events, they triumphed over the Spanish team in a penalty shootout, causing a significant upset.
Continuing their extraordinary run, Morocco went head-to-head with one of the tournament favorites, Portugal, in the quarter-finals. Defying expectations once more, they clinched a 1-0 victory to advance further in the competition.
The semis were a step too far as they were beaten by France and then lost the third-place play-off, but, wow, what a run.
Tom Brady’s son, now 18, stood notably taller than his father as the delighted dad marked his eldest child’s milestone of graduating from high school this week.
The 48-year-old former NFL star expressed his emotions in a touching tribute to his son Jack, whom he co-parents with actress Bridget Moynahan, his former girlfriend.
Jack celebrated his graduation from Riverdale Country School in the Bronx, New York, on Friday, with his whole family gathered to applaud his achievement.
The legendary seven-time Super Bowl champion looked exceptionally polished in a sleek navy suit paired with a coordinating deep blue tie, while Moynahan radiated sophistication in a white-and-blue striped sundress.
Additionally, Brady’s younger children, Benjamin, 16, and Vivian, 13, whom he shares with ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, were present to support their brother on his special day.

Brady posted a series of photos from the jubilant celebration alongside an emotional message to his eldest.
‘One of the proudest days of my life, watching Jack walk across the stage, and graduate into the next chapter of what’s already an impressive life,’ a gushing Brady wrote on Instagram. ‘You are an amazing son, brother, grandson, nephew, and friend amongst many other things.
‘What makes me happiest is knowing who you are when no one is watching. The way you show up for your friends. The way you check on people having a hard day. The love you give our family, and the fact that you still let me win in 1v1 every once in a while.
‘This isn’t an ending. It’s a starting line. Whatever you chase next we know you’ll find success in. Take the risks. Be kind. Be yourself. And know your family and friends are always right behind you cheering the loudest because you do the same for everybody else! We love you.’
The Fox commentator also self-deprecatingly mocked himself as he made a subtle dig at his height.
Jack, who is reported to stand at six-foot-six, towered over his signal caller father by inches even despite his young age.
Brady shared a solo shot of the pair together to his Instagram story, adding, ‘On my tiptoes,’ along with a couple of laughing emojis.
Brady’s parents, Galynn and Tom Snr, also appeared to be in attendance at the ceremony as well as his three older sisters, Maureen, Julie and Nancy.

The future Hall of Famer was spotted enjoying some quality father-son time with Jack, sitting courtside together in April to watch the Miami Heat face off against the Boston Celtics.
The retired sports icon also recently opened up about his hands-on parenting style, jokingly admitting during a television appearance that his constant presence at his kids’ various youth sporting events can occasionally ‘irritate’ them.
‘They want me to stand outside the arena when they’re playing,’ Brady joked, explaining that he deliberately wears low-profile hoodies and hats to ensure the spotlight stays entirely on his children’s achievements rather than his own fame.
Jack had appeared to have followed in his father’s footsteps, playing quarterback and safety in high school football.
However, it appears basketball could be his chosen sport with even his famous father admitting that he’s got game on the court.
‘Yeah, he played this last year, and I don’t even know if he’s going to play next year. And to be honest, whatever he chooses, I’ll be very happy,’ Brady previously told People.
Brady later welcomed Benjamin and Vivian with his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen
‘But he loves lacrosse… basketball’s probably his favorite sport, but he’s a very good student.’
Despite their separations, Brady appears to maintain good relationship with his exes, wishing them both a happy mother’s day last month.
Brady and Bundchen split in 2022 after 13 years of marriage. They share two children, Benjamin and Vivian , while the Brazilian supermodel has another child with current partner Joaquim Valente.
Moynahan and Brady were never married but instead learned they were having a baby after splitting up in late 2006.
The New York City Police Department’s primary oversight body is currently investigating claims made by the city’s largest police union, which accuses some of its investigators of harboring anti-police sentiments, as reported by The Post.
In a letter dated May 7, the Police Benevolent Association (PBA) called for the dismissal of a supervisor and seven investigators from the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB). The union cited social media activity and college essays from these individuals as “blatant examples of anti-police bias.”
The union highlighted instances where some board employees used the acronym “A.C.A.B.”—standing for “All Cops Are Bastards”—in social media posts. Additionally, some investigators authored essays advocating for the reduction or elimination of policing, according to the PBA.
Jonathan Darche, Executive Director of the CCRB, addressed a group of city council members by stating that the agency has initiated an internal review of the allegations brought forth by the PBA.
“The claims regarding various social media posts necessitate a thorough examination to decide on the appropriate course of action, keeping in mind employee rights and protections,” Darche explained.
The CCRB initially responded to the PBA that its investigators review cases fairly and impartially.
It changed its tune after the eight councilmembers fired off a May 28 letter raising “serious questions about the fairness of CCRB investigations and the reliability of substantiated findings in which the employees played a role.”
Councilmembers Phil Wong, D-Queens, Kamillah Hanks, D-Staten Island, Vickie Paladino, R-Queens, Darlene Mealy, D-Brooklyn, David Carr, R-Staten Island, Inna Vernikov, R-Brooklyn, Joann Ariola, R-Queens and Frank Morano, R-Staten Island, also called for the employees to be placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the probe.
CCRB investigators look into civilian reports of misconduct by NYPD officers. The cases, which are not criminal, can lead to internal charges and punishment.
Residents of a Utah apartment complex experienced a terrifying wake-up call in the early hours of June 7 as firefighters and officers from the St. George Police Department urgently informed them that their building was ablaze, according to bodycam footage released to News Media.
The dramatic video captures an officer forcefully entering an apartment where a family was asleep, urgently shouting, “Hey, you guys, your unit’s on fire, you need to get out!”
Startled and confused, the family responds with disbelief, “Wait, what?”
Another segment of the footage shows an officer guiding a shirtless resident through his smoke-filled living room, urging him to “Run, run!” as they head toward safety.
The St. George Police Department’s quick response was critical in alerting and rescuing residents during the alarming incident.
“Hey everybody out!” an officer can be heard shouting in the bodycam footage.
Officers communicated over radio about a man stuck in a second-floor apartment that was on fire. Footage shows the officers using a ladder to escort the resident to safety.
“There’s one more guy up there!” an officer yells.
One sleeping resident did not respond to an officer’s warning.
“Hey, building’s on fire, you gotta get out!” an officer yelled while shining a flashlight on the slumbering citizen’s face. Video then showed the resident wake up screaming as a loud bang occurred.
“You gotta go! Let’s go, let’s go!” the officer yelled as he yanked the resident out of bed.

Further video shows officers calmly evacuating two small children as the kids’ family comforts them.
“Come here buddy, I’m gonna lift you over the wall, it’s alright, okay?” an officer says.
A large explosion can be heard toward the end of the video as a mother pushes a baby in a stroller. One officer at the end of the video says a roof collapsed on top of him.
Eight officers who responded to the incident were sent to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation, but all have since been released, according to the St. George Police Department.

The fire began in one unit and spread out through a shared attic, eventually burning down or damaging 20 units in total, according to FOX 13 Salt Lake City.
News Media contacted St. George Police Department for further information.
In a significant legal development, a federal judge has mandated the removal of President Donald Trump’s name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. This decision has been met with approval from members of the Kennedy family, who view it as a restoration of the institution’s historical identity.
The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in May 2026, spans 94 pages and concludes that the authority to rename the federally chartered Washington, D.C., landmark resides solely with Congress. This judgment not only nullifies the recent renaming efforts but also halts the controversial two-year closure planned for the venue under the guise of renovations, creating uncertainty about its immediate future.
During his second presidential term, which commenced in January 2025, Trump took the unusual step of appointing himself as the president of the Kennedy Center. Following his appointment, he dismissed the existing board of trustees and installed a new one, who swiftly voted to rename the facility as “The Donald J. Trump and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts.”
Further developments regarding the Kennedy Center reveal Trump’s ambitious vision for the venue. He announced plans for the “Trump Kennedy Center” to close on July 4, 2026, coinciding with the 250th anniversary of the United States. In a statement shared on his Truth Social platform, Trump, aged 79, expressed intentions to commence construction on a “new and spectacular Entertainment Complex” following the closure.
President Donald Trump has even more plans for the Kennedy Center after he worked to rename the landmark. “The Trump Kennedy Center will close on July 4th, 2026, in honor of the 250th Anniversary of our Country, whereupon we will simultaneously begin Construction of the new and spectacular Entertainment Complex,” Trump, 79, wrote via Truth […]
Judge’s Ruling Explained
A judge ruled in May 2026 that Trump and the Kennedy Center’s Board of Trustees acted unlawfully when they added the president’s name onto the venue, which Congress previously dedicated to President John F. Kennedy in 1964 — a year after his assassination.
“The Kennedy Center’s organic statute makes crystal clear that the Center is to be named for President Kennedy, and it cannot bear any other formal name or public memorial based on the Board’s unilateral say-so,” Cooper wrote in his decision. “Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.”
The judge also halted Trump’s planned two-year shutdown of the venue, which was originally scheduled to begin in July 2026 to coincide with the country’s 250th anniversary. Cooper found that “none of the board members had sufficient information in advance of the March 16 meeting to make a well-considered decision to close the center,” according to TheNew York Times. He left the door open for the board to revisit the closure if it independently weighs “its multiple obligations to the Center in a prudent fashion.”
Kennedy Center Staff Told to Scrub Trump References
In a June 4, 2026, memo obtained by Politico, Kennedy Center employees were told to strip Trump’s name from internal and public-facing materials.
“You must immediately change email signatures, letterhead, and other documents to reflect the name as ‘The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,’ or ‘Kennedy Center,’” the memo read. “Other changes, such as to templates and forms, signage, brochures, and website pages, must be completed no later than Friday, June 12, 2026.”
Trump’s name had already been quietly removed from the center’s official website, voicemail and YouTube channel in the days leading up to the memo, according to the Associated Press.
A Kennedy Center spokesperson said in a statement, “We are complying with the court’s order while evaluating all legal options to preserve this revitalization and recognize President Trump’s leadership.”
Construction workers were spotted removing Trump’s name from the building facade on June 13, 2026.
Maria Shriver and Jack Schlossberg Celebrate the Decision
JFK’s niece Shriver called the ruling a “birthday present” for her late uncle, who would have turned 109 the day Cooper issued his decision.
“An appropriate birthday present on my uncle’s birthday today. A federal judge ruled that President Trump and the Kennedy Center Board acted unlawfully in renaming the Kennedy Center after him,” Shriver wrote via Threads in May 2026. “The judge held that only Congress can change the Center’s name and blocked the planned two-year closure for now. I know they’ll probably appeal and the story isn’t over, but for today, let’s celebrate a great birthday gift.”
JFK’s grandson, Schlossberg, took an even sharper tone, writing via X: “Trump can take the Kennedy Center for himself. He can change the name, shut the doors, and demolish the building. He can try to kill JFK. But JFK is kept alive by us now rising up to remove Donald Trump, bring him to justice, and restore the freedoms generations fought for.”
Donald Trump Responds to Judge’s Ruling
The president slammed Cooper’s decision in a lengthy Truth Social post, accusing the judge — a President Barack Obama appointee — of bias and vowing to push Congress to take the building off his hands entirely.
“Shockingly, a Judge appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, Christopher Cooper, ruled that The Kennedy Center, which was going to close in early July for large-scale renovations and construction due to years of neglect, decay, and poor maintenance, and which was to be transformed by the Trump Administration into the Finest Facility of its kind, anywhere in the World, is not allowed to close for these renovations,” Trump wrote, claiming that he instructed the Department of Commerce to “make all necessary arrangements” to transfer control of the Kennedy Center back to Congress.
Kennedy Center Board of Trustees Files Appeal
The Board of Trustees voted to seek a stay of Cooper’s order in June 2026, arguing the name change reversal would be “both wasteful for the Center and confusing for the public.”
Roma Daravi, the Trump Kennedy Center vice president of public relations, said in a statement, “With $257 million secured by President Trump and approved by Congress, the resources are in place and we remain committed to pursuing every lawful avenue to ensure the Trump Kennedy Center is restored as a national cultural landmark for all Americans to enjoy.”

In a notable development following the tragic events at Robb Elementary School, former Uvalde school police chief Pete Arredondo is set to face trial early next year. Accusations against him center on allegations that he endangered students by not promptly addressing the 2022 mass shooting incident.
During a recent court session, Judge Sid Harle provisionally earmarked February 22, 2027, as the trial’s start date for Arredondo. However, this timeline may be subject to change as the court navigates ongoing civil litigation. These proceedings are pivotal, as they aim to compel testimony from members of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection’s Border Patrol Tactical Unit, who played a crucial role in neutralizing the shooter.
Attorney Paul Looney, representing Arredondo, expressed optimism to ABC News that establishing a tentative trial date might expedite the resolution of these civil lawsuits. “We are both doing everything we can,” Looney affirmed, highlighting the cooperative efforts from both legal teams to move the process forward.
Arredondo’s attorney, Paul Looney, told ABC News that both sides hope the tentative trial date could speed up those ongoing civil lawsuits.
“We are both doing everything we can,” Looney said.
Nineteen students and two of their teachers were killed when Robb Elementary School was attacked by a former student on the last day of school on May 24, 2022. Arredondo was charged in 2024 with 10 counts of endangering students by failing to quickly respond to the shooting.
Arredondo led the response to the shooting rampage, and prosecutors allege that he ignored his training by waiting some 77 minutes before agents stormed a classroom and killed the gunman. Earlier this year, a jury acquitted former school police officer Adrian Gonzales on similar charges after a three-week trial.
Families of the victims responded to that verdict with outrage, and some are looking to Arredondo’s trial as another opportunity for justice.
“We had a little hope, but it wasn’t enough,” Jacinto Cazares, whose 9-year-old daughter Jackie died in the shooting, said after Gonzales’ acquittal in January. “Again, we are failed. I don’t even know what to say.”
Arredondo has pleaded not guilty, arguing he followed his training and saying he did not consider himself the incident commander that day, though investigators said he was just that. Arredondo’s attorney, Paul Looney, told ABC News that he believes the case against Arredondo is weaker than the failed prosecution of Gonzales.
“They tried the one they thought that they had the best shot at, but now they’re going to put everything they’ve got into doing this one, because they do want to win at least something,” Looney said.
Friday’s status conference comes as Judge Sid Harle weighs the future of the case. The judge has said he wants to determine how the trial against Arredondo can proceed amid the ongoing litigation with CBP and whether — as in the case of Gonzales — the trial ought to be moved out of Uvalde.
Both Uvalde District Attorney Christina Mitchell and Arredondo filed federal lawsuits to compel the federal agents to cooperate with investigators and potentially testify at trial.
“The three border patrol agents whose cooperation is now being sought by District Attorney Mitchell — two of whom participated in the actual killing of the gunman and the third who was present in the hallway during most of the incident — are essential to the pending Texas criminal prosecution,” Mitchell wrote in her lawsuit.
CBP attorneys have argued that the request for testimony is unreasonable, unnecessary, and “negatively impacts CBP operations and national security” by taking up resources and potentially disclosing sensitive information.
Attorneys have argued that CBP revealed enough information through the investigative summaries prepared by the Texas Rangers and a report released by CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility.
“It is unclear from your request how testimony from the identified CBP employees is genuinely necessary to the proceedings,” an attorney for CBP said in a court filing.
Earlier this year, a new judge was assigned to the lawsuit filed by Mitchell, and this week she filed a motion to schedule a status conference in that case. Looney, who filed a separate lawsuit largely mirroring the District Attorney’s, said he anticipates the litigation will take another eight months to a year.
Friday’s hearing was held in Uvalde, though the trial of Gonzales was held in Corpus Christi in order to find an impartial jury, due to the widespread impact of the shooting on the Uvalde community.
Arredondo’s lawyer said he expects Harle to grant his motion for a venue change, though he claimed there is “no sense of urgency” to resolve the venue issue while the case remains stalled by the ongoing civil litigation.
