On Friday evening, two inmates managed to break free from a detention facility in Kentucky, sparking a widespread search effort spearheaded by multiple law enforcement agencies. The Morehead Police Department has alerted residents in the surrounding areas about the escape, emphasizing the potential danger posed by these individuals.

The inmates reportedly “walked away” from the Rowan County Detention Center, an incident that has led to heightened security measures and increased vigilance throughout the community. The Kentucky State Police have taken charge of the investigation, working alongside other agencies to track down the fugitives.

Authorities have issued a stern warning to the public, advising them to consider these escapees as dangerous. Community members are urged to remain cautious and to refrain from approaching anyone they find suspicious or unfamiliar. The focus remains on ensuring public safety while the search for these individuals continues.

“These inmates should be considered dangerous,” police said, warning the community not to approach anyone suspicious or unfamiliar.

PHILADELPHIA — With OG Anunoby sidelined, the Knicks faced the daunting task of filling the void left by his absence.

However, the team rose to the occasion with determination and teamwork.

The starting lineup received a significant boost from Mikal Bridges, who scored an impressive 23 points, marking his second-highest performance of the postseason. Meanwhile, the bench played a crucial role as Landry Shamet, previously out of the rotation, made a decisive impact by contributing 15 points and helping to secure the victory.

The entire roster embraced larger roles and responsibilities, leading the Knicks to a commanding 108-94 victory over the 76ers on Friday night at Xfinity Mobile Arena. This triumph pushed the Knicks to a 3-0 lead in the series.

“It was definitely a team effort,” remarked Jalen Brunson. “We obviously want everyone back healthy, but it was crucial for everyone to step up and maintain the right mindset. You have to do whatever it takes to win.”

Friday was too soon for Anunoby, who was out with the right hamstring strain he suffered in Game 2. Subsequent imaging revealed that it is a “very minor” strain, The Post’s Stefan Bondy previously reported, and he is considered day to day with confidence he should not miss much time.

The Knicks would not elaborate Friday whether Anunoby is able to run or what he is actually able to do on the court.

Miles McBride started in place of Anunoby, but he struggled with his shot. It was Shamet who was more effective helping to fill the void, and he ended up playing more than McBride — 26 minutes compared to 21. Shamet went 5-for-6 from the field and 2-for-3 from 3-point range.

“Landry hadn’t played a drop all playoffs,” coach Mike Brown said. “I think the first game, he was in the rotation and then the second game a little bit, then he was out. That’s six, seven games that he hadn’t seen significant minutes on the court. Landry was huge for us tonight. He was huge on both ends of the floor.

“We needed a spark from somebody when we were down and they hit us in the mouth and Landry gave it to us.”

Anunoby has arguably been the Knicks’ most consistent player this postseason, averaging 20.3 points on stellar 61.9 percent shooting from the field and 53.8 percent shooting from 3-point range. His defense — on Jalen Johnson and Onyeka Okongwu in the first round against the Hawks and primarily Paul George in this second-round series against the 76ers — has been superb.

Without Anunoby, Bridges at times had to slide down and guard George and was extremely effective. After scoring 15 points in the first quarter, George went scoreless the rest of the way and missed all nine shots he took.

“Everyone picked it up,” Josh Hart said. “It’s one of those things where it’s next man up. Obviously we say that but that just means it’s more opportunity for guys. Mikal did an amazing job. Deuce [McBride] gave us what he had. Landry, the ultimate professional, giving us big minutes offensively and defensively. We responded well to that adversity.”

UFC CEO Dana White didn’t hold back when discussing who he considers the rudest celebrity he’s ever encountered.

During a recent episode of The Katie Miller Podcast, the outspoken leader behind the Ultimate Fighting Championship revealed that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs tops his list of unpleasant celebrity encounters.

When host Katie Miller posed the intriguing question, White, 56, took a moment to ponder before responding.

“That’s a good question, a great question,” White remarked. “Let me think about this so I can really make my point.”

As he tried to recall his encounters, he turned to someone off-camera for assistance. The response was clear: “Diddy.”

‘Oh, Diddy, 100 percent the biggest douchebag ever,’ agreed White, who needed an interpreter to translate a question from a British journalist during a recent press conference.

He went on to tell a story about how Diddy and his security team ‘scared’ his niece, who used to be fan but probably isn’t one now.

‘Tony Hawk used to have these charity events,’ White added, referencing the professional skateboarder. ‘And when my kids were little, you’d go to these charity events and, like, lots of celebrities would be there. So everybody would do things for each other’s kids,’ White described.

‘So I had my niece at one of them, and Diddy shows up and, it was at Ron Burkle’s house. My niece was, like, all excited, like, “Oh, my God, P Diddy is here.” I said, “Awesome. Go take a picture with them. And she comes back. “Did you get a picture?” And she’s like, “No, they were scary.”

‘The guy’s there with f***ing 10 security guards, right? You need security at a f***ing kids event? And then they were rude to her and scared her. That’s who’s listening to your f***ing s****y music, okay? That’s who’s listening to this, okay? Are you f***ing kidding me? And that’s how you’re going to treat some girl that’s a fan and wanted a picture with you?’

White added: ‘And Conor McGregor was a P Diddy fan. Conor ran into him. It’s the USC game. He wanted to punch him in the face when he met him.’

Diddy, 56, is currently serving a 50-month federal prison sentence in New Jersey for convictions on two counts of transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

The rapper was acquitted of more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering in July 2025, and his lawyers are appealing the sentence.

Meanwhile, White sparked a major fury after describing the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as ‘f***ing awesome.’

The MMA mogul was seated near the head table at the Washington Hilton on April 25 when a heavily armed gunman ran through a security checkpoint, leading to an immediate evacuation of President Donald Trump.

White admitted he refused to follow the instructions of Secret Service agents to get down, even though a majority of the 2,000 guests – including cabinet members and journalists – dived for cover.

Describing his immediate reaction, White told USA Today: ‘It started to get noisy. Tables getting flipped over, guys running in with guns.

‘They were telling me to get down, I didn’t get down. It was f***ing awesome. I literally took every minute of it in. And it was pretty crazy, unique experience.

‘We were sitting right in front of where the President was. Nobody got tackled. Guys came in looking for shooters. They came over to our table. I thought the shooter was over by us or something.’

White’s reaction to the terrifying incident drew some backlash from social media users.

One took to X to write: ‘Pretty weird reaction if we’re being honest.’

‘What a clown,’ another said on the social media platform.

‘WTF is wrong with him. He seems insane,’ a third vented.

White was present at the event as a guest of the President and was seated at a table with representatives from Paramount Skydance, the broadcast partners of the UFC.

White and Trump have built a strong relationship in recent years, with the President regularly appearing at UFC events across the country next to the outspoken businessman.

And White has frequently spoken on Trump’s behalf at political rallies and national conventions.

A Colorado man who taunted the legal system and defied court proceedings now faces life in prison after a judge took drastic measures to ensure his presence in court.

Fifty-four-year-old Caesar Lorenzo Wilson has been sentenced to 224 years for the 2024 murder of Haleh Abghari, a professor at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs (UCCS). Prosecutors described the crime as a home invasion that escalated into a vicious stabbing.

The case has been notable for Wilson’s rebellious conduct and unsettling courtroom antics.

Initially, Wilson refused to attend his sentencing, which led to an unusual judicial order. The judge issued a warrant allowing authorities to use force, if necessary, to bring him to court, according to a report by KTTV.

Even when he did appear, he showed little remorse, at one point asking his attorneys, “Do I have to hear this?” during the hearing, according to the Denver Gazette.

Prosecutors also revealed in court that Wilson made chilling remarks in a recorded jail phone call, allegedly telling his mother he would bring Abghari back to life and kill her again because he believed he had been treated unfairly. The comments underscored what prosecutors described as a complete disregard for human life, the outlet reported.

Tiana Longmire, a former UCCS student of Abghari’s, called those alleged comments “mind-boggling,” saying they showed her what “true evil” looked like, according to the Denver Gazette.

The case dates back to August 7, 2024, when Colorado Springs police were called to a home on Caddy Point and found Abghari, 54, stabbed to death.

Investigators say Wilson entered through an open garage door intending to steal, but instead encountered Abghari inside. A struggle followed, and prosecutors say he stabbed her multiple times before stealing her car and fleeing.

Wilson vanished for months before being tracked to another state, where he was already behind bars under a different name on unrelated charges. He was extradited back to Colorado, where a jury later found him guilty of multiple charges, including second-degree murder and aggravated robbery.

Jurors also determined he was a habitual offender with a lengthy criminal history, a designation that significantly increased his sentence.

“The violence perpetrated by the defendant against Haleh Abghari, an innocent woman alone in her own home, deserved the harsh sentence issued today in court,” District Attorney Michael J. Allen said. “Ms. Abghari’s death was a devastating loss for her family, the UCCS community she helped shape for over a decade, and the entire 4th Judicial District.”

Allen added that the outcome reflects the work of investigators, prosecutors and jurors who saw the case through.

“We are grateful to see a just outcome in this case… and to the jurors who listened to difficult evidence and delivered guilty verdicts on all charges,” he said.

Beyond the courtroom, Abghari’s family and friends say the loss has been immeasurable.

Her sister, Niloofar Abghari, said the sentencing offered “little solace,” describing Haleh as the most important person in her life.

“Every night when I sleep, I think about what happened to her,” she told the Denver Gazette. “There’s no joy anymore. It’s just survival.”

In a fundraiser created after her death, loved ones described Abghari as a devoted daughter and sister who spoke with her parents every night and had visited them just weeks before she was killed.

They said she maintained close friendships across the country and around the world and was known for putting others before herself.

“This senseless act leaves a gaping hole in our hearts,” the fundraiser reads, adding that she “took on the burdens of others in her ongoing quest to make the world a better place.”

CHICAGO – Tragedy struck on the city’s West Side Thursday evening when an Uber driver and a young student became victims of a fatal shooting, according to Chicago police and local authorities.

The heartbreaking incident claimed the life of 18-year-old Damarion Johnson, who was on the verge of securing a full scholarship to play college basketball. His final moments were spent immersed in the passion he held dear.

Exclusive footage obtained by ABC7 captured the harrowing drive-by shooting as Johnson was on his way home from a basketball session, riding in an Uber.

Authorities reported that the shooting occurred in the 200 block of North Homan Avenue in the Garfield Park neighborhood just before 8:30 p.m.

The victims, a 38-year-old man and the 18-year-old Johnson, were traveling south in a white sedan when a grey SUV approached them. A suspect inside the SUV opened fire, according to police reports.

The 38-year-old, shot in the arm, was taken to Stroger Hospital, where he was pronounced dead, CPD said. The 18-year-old, shot in the body, was transported to Mt. Sinai Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The 18-year-old victim was identified as Damarion Johnson by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office.

Johnson’s dreams and aspirations were fueled by basketball, until gunfire tore them away.

“He just kept saying he wanted to make it out,” Project sWISH Chicago founder McKinley Nelson said. “He was just robbed of so many things. And I feel like he was on his way to making it out… He got an opportunity to go to college for free, right, from multiple places. So he was just weighing his options on what decision was best fit for him, and before he could announce that decision, his life was cut short.”

Johnson was in the backseat of an Uber ride when exclusive video obtained by ABC7 showed a gray SUV driving beside it at Homan and Lake in Garfield Park. Someone then leaned out the back window. ABC7 froze the video just as that shooter opens fire on the white car.

“Kids were still outside playing,” nearby resident Latora McCampbell said. “We was all scared, like, everybody dropping to the floor. That’s how loud those shots were.”

ABC7 reached to Uber for comment about one of their rideshare drivers being killed in the shooting, and an Uber spokesperson provided the foillowing statement:
“There are no words to describe this tragic loss of life, and our thoughts are with the victims’ loved ones during this difficult time. We’re doing everything we can to support police during their investigation, and we hope those responsible are brought to swift justice.”

As for Johnson, he spent years playing basketball with Project sWISH Chicago, a basketball program for inner city youth.

“He wasn’t just one of many kids that we’ve seen come in and out of the program,” Nelson said. “He was a real little brother to me, and I really had true love for him.”

The senior student was also a recent transfer at Christ the King Jesuit College Prep in the Austin neighborhood.

“Earlier today we were made aware of the tragic death of one of our students. Our entire Christ the King school family is grieving this senseless loss,” the school said in a statement. “During this incredibly difficult time, our priority is supporting our students and staff as we process this tragedy. Dealing with death is never easy, and it is especially challenging when it involves a young person with a promising future. Our counseling team is available for any student or staff member who needs a safe space to talk. Please keep this student, his family, and our entire school community in your thoughts and prayers.”

Police did not immediately provide further information about the shooting. Area Four detectives are investigating.

“Just a sad situation, like, everyday I’m praying for better,” McCampbell said.

While police have made no arrests, Uber says it is working closely with law enforcement. Grief counselors are available at Johnson’s high school.
