A woman in Georgia experienced a terrifying ordeal during her Sunday morning workout when a stranger allegedly tried to run her down multiple times just after she had greeted him.

This frightening incident occurred on July 19 at the Sedgefield Apartments in Cobb County. The woman was engaging in her usual exercise routine when she encountered 21-year-old Jesse Allen Davis, as detailed in a criminal warrant obtained by News Media.

Though unfamiliar with Davis, the woman exchanged a “brief, polite greeting” with him, as described in the authorities’ warrant.

Minutes later, Davis allegedly entered his nearby 2004 Nissan Sentra, started the vehicle, and accelerated toward the woman, apparently intending to hit her, according to the warrant’s details.

The progression of this shocking event was halted when another driver intervened by blocking Davis’ path, which prevented him from allegedly injuring the woman.

The woman fled toward her residence, but Davis allegedly pursued her in his vehicle to the area of Commons Lane before intentionally driving toward her a second time.

She was forced to run onto a sidewalk and seek cover behind a dumpster to avoid being struck, according to the warrant.

But her alleged attacker kept coming.

While the woman remained hidden, Davis allegedly yelled profanities, maneuvered the vehicle and attempted to strike her a third time before fleeing the area, the warrant states.

“He got into a vehicle, and for whatever reason he attempted to strike her with the vehicle while she was in the parking lot,” Cobb County Police Sgt. Eric Smith told local outlet WSB-TV.

The woman called 911 while taking cover behind the dumpster, according to the outlet.

“He attempted to strike her with the vehicle two additional times,” Smith said.

Davis allegedly struck another vehicle as the incident unfolded, according to a separate criminal warrant obtained by News Media.

The warrant alleges Davis was driving a gray Nissan Sentra when he collided with a gray Ford Fusion and failed to immediately stop or return to the scene.

WSB-TV also reported that Davis eventually crashed into a pole.

Neighbor Lloydethan White said he witnessed part of the chaos and claimed Davis nearly hit him, too.

“When I had seen him, he almost hit my car and her,” White told WSB-TV.

White said he checked on the woman but did not initially realize what she had allegedly just endured.

“I think it’s wrong that a woman has to fear for her life and she’s just trying to go about her normal day and workout,” he said.

Davis was arrested and booked into the Cobb County Jail on felony aggravated assault and misdemeanor hit-and-run charges, with jail records listing a total bonding amount of $5,720.

The motive behind the alleged attack remains unclear. Police have not said whether Davis and the woman had any interaction beyond the seemingly innocuous greeting before he allegedly got behind the wheel.

In a courtroom twist, a model who once graced the pages of Penthouse magazine has turned the tables on her billionaire ex-fiancé as she confronts multiple charges accusing her of swindling wealthy older men.

Adva Lavie’s recorded jail conversations with her ex-husband, Edan Ives, a notable figure in the adult film industry, were unveiled during a mental health diversion hearing in Los Angeles on Monday.

Over the course of ten calls, Lavie and Ives discussed exploiting her billionaire ex-fiancé Stephen Cloobeck’s credit card. The chatter emerged after Cloobeck ended their rapid-fire romance just last month.

Within those conversations, she expressed her willingness to testify against Cloobeck in his legal proceedings. These proceedings are linked to accusations of witness intimidation related to her criminal activities.

Detective Lopez reported Lavie, dressed in a yellow jumpsuit, communicated through “10 calls” with Ives. These calls were laden with affectionate terms and “I love yous,” reflecting her current stance on Cloobeck.

The calls revealed that Cloobeck and Lavie were not on “speaking terms” but that she still had access to his credit card.

Lavie told Ives “to use Cloobeck’s credit card, use the F**** out of it,” and suggested her mom should too, according to Lopez.

When asked by Ives if “Cloobeck would be mad?” Lavie replied “I don’t give and f—” and said she would testify against him in his upcoming case.

The billionaire is facing witness tampering and other felony charges related to Lavie’s case. Cloobeck was in the same courthouse Friday where he pleaded not guilty to all charges. 

The Post has learned the billionaire is no longer paying for Advie’s defense. Those familiar with the matter say when it comes to legal fees, Lavie is “on her own,” despite being surrounded Monday by high profile attorneys Lou Shaipiro, Jeffrey Rubenstein, and Jeremy Lessem.

Lessem argued Lavie should be released from jail and put into a rehab facility, which the defense has hand picked and Lavie has been accepted into.

“It’s in the mountains of Orange County, no cell phones allowed, a six months program addressing mental health and substance abuse,” Lessem told the court.

Ives and Lavie were officially divorced in March. The two had “an open relationship” according to Ives and made x-rated content.

In her diversion motion, filed last month, Lavie claimed that Ives had physically and sexually abused her. 

“She tells how abusive he is, he slaps her, mocks her. Yet she is calling him at least 10 times. She has a loving relationship with him not an estranged one,” prosecutors said.

Lavie is facing 11 years behind bars, and a decision on diversion is expected Monday afternoon.

Gillian Anderson, known for her iconic role in The X-Files, celebrated turning 58 with a touch of whimsy, sporting a cheerful purple party hat and sharing a makeup-free photo with her followers on Sunday.

The two-time Emmy winner, who boasts 6.1 million social media followers, wrote: ‘Thank you everyone for all my birthday messages!’

Anderson is currently immersed in rehearsals for a new theatrical challenge as she prepares for her role in the West End version of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

In this much-anticipated production, Anderson portrays Martha alongside Billy Crudup’s George, under the direction of Marianne Elliott. This three-hour revival of Edward Albee’s classic 1962 play will be staged at @sohoplace in London from September 21 to December 19.

Fans on Instagram, like user @adacelik090, are taken aback by Anderson’s ageless beauty, expressing admiration by saying, ‘I wanna age like this bro, WTF!’

Another fan, @valeriagiir, echoed these sentiments, likening her to a finely aged wine, exclaiming: ‘Aged like good wine, OMFG!’

’45 again, how do you do it!’ Instagram user @vvdm90 commented. ‘Congrats!’

Instagram user @sc4rxli3zz._ wrote in all caps: ‘HOW DOES SHE STILL LOOK THE SAME?’

‘Still freaking gorgeous,’ Instagram user @williambarney36 commented.

The Sara Price: Chasing Dakar narrator also reposted birthday tributes from her The Last King of Scotland co-star Kerry Washington and her Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma co-star Hannah Einbinder.

Speaking of which, Anderson currently stars as final girl Billy Presley in Jane Schoenbrun’s critically acclaimed slasher satire, which only earned $251,500 back from its $10 million budget opening weekend.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma – hitting UK theaters August 21 – also stars Einbinder, Sarah Sherman, Kevin McDonald and Dylan Baker.

The Daily Mail has reached out to the Miu Miu muse’s rep for comment about the festivities but did not immediately hear back.

Anderson also has a role in Niki Byrne’s coming-of-age drama The Julia Set, about a young mathematician prepping for a contest, which premieres at the Toronto Film Festival next month.

On July 21, the G Spot creator reprised her breakout role as FBI Special Agent Dana Scully for a commercial for The LEGO Ideas The X-Files set.

‘The strange thing is I don’t identify with Scully in the same way I do with other characters that I played for much less time,’ Anderson told the LA Times last Thursday.

‘Part of that is because of how square she was. I have such an intrinsically rebellious nature. I can, obviously, play square, but I think because of that, she didn’t necessarily get her hooks inside me in the way that some of these other characters that really push against the establishment did.’

The four-time Actor Award winner portrayed the skeptical Catholic for 11 seasons of Chris Carter’s Fox drama (1993-2002 and 2016-2018) followed by films The X-Files (1998) and The X-Files: I Want to Believe (2008).

Sinners director Ryan Coogler began shooting a Hulu reboot in May starring Danielle Deadwyler, Himesh Patel, Amy Madigan, Steve Buscemi and Ben Foster.

Anderson’s other upcoming projects include Ben Affleck’s crime thriller Animals for Netflix, Peter Morgan’s seventies-set miniseries The Boys from Brazil for Netflix,

Chris Roberts’ video game Squadron 42 and Nicholas Ashe Bateman’s animated film The Turning Door.

The Trespasses producer-star was technically born in Chicago but has lived in London since 2002 after growing up there from ages two to 11.

On the personal front, Anderson has reportedly been in an on/off romance with British playwright and screenwriter Peter Morgan for the last decade.

The bisexual feminist welcomed her eldest child, 31-year-old daughter Piper Maru Anderson-Klotz, during her marriage to X-Files assistant art director Clyde Klotz, which ended in 1997.

Anderson is also mother to two teenage children – son Oscar, 19, and son Felix, 17 – with businessman babydaddy Mark Griffiths, whom she split from in 2012.

ELIZABETHTOWN, NY – In a chilling verdict, Canadian father Luciano Frattolin was declared guilty on Monday of drowning his 9-year-old daughter in a swamp in the Adirondacks. Prosecutors argued the macabre act was spurred by his desire for vengeance against his former wife.

The jury in Elizabethtown swiftly delivered their verdict against the disgraced coffee entrepreneur. Frattolin’s heinous crime involved the murder of his young daughter, Melina, followed by the disposal of her body near Ticonderoga during what was supposed to be a court-sanctioned vacation in July 2025. He fabricated an audacious story, alleging that Melina had been kidnapped, which ignited an extensive search throughout the Adirondacks.

Frattolin now stands to serve a life sentence, having been convicted of second-degree murder and the concealment of a corpse, after a trial filled with gripping testimonies in Essex County Court.

“Tragically, Melina’s life was cut short in a brutal act of violence,” remarked Essex County District Attorney Michael Langey during his closing arguments on Monday. He fixed a steely gaze on Frattolin in court, prompting the convicted father to look away.

Langey painted a haunting picture of the crime scene describing, “Her once neatly braided long black hair was found disheveled with mud, dirt, and grass clinging to it.”

Frattolin shook his head, at no point showing remorse for drowning the girl and then trying to cover up her body with a large rock.

The twisted dad had even considered taking the stand, but revealed Monday morning he’d begrudgingly decided not to.

“I really want to, but I was advised not to,” he told Judge Tatiana Coffinger of his decision not to testify.
Jurors deliberated for only about an hour before handing down their verdict.

Melina’s mom, Kali Galanis, had full custody over her after she broke off she and Frattolin’s long distance relationship in 2019.

In recent years, Kali had permitted Melina to see Luciano on yearly trips, such as one planned to Ethiopia last year until something prompted the Montreal-based Mom to cancel the plans, allowing them to take a trip to New York City instead.

Twisted, rambling notes Luciano left in his rented Prius the night he killed Melina spoke of “ending the madness” and a “Luciano Frattolin 2.0,” who was with a “10/10 blonde” and bought a Porsche.
“Let God decide. If you want to become famous. God, do not give me money until I end this evil. I mean big money, like two million,” he wrote in a note.

“Don’t let Melina suffer anymore,” he wrote in another.

Frattolin, a dual citizen of Ethiopia and Italy, had accused his ex-wife Kali Galanis of abusing the girl — then alleged she was  framing him in Melina’s purported kidnapping.

“If she is behind this, she does this to make me look like a bad person,” Frattolin can be heard saying on a recording with investigators.

Jurors ultimately sided with prosecutors in finding that Frattolin’s narrative kept changing.

In a startling development on Capitol Hill, Republican Senators have unveiled a trove of COVID-era text messages from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s government-issued cellphone. This release, made public on Monday, has captured widespread attention.

Senators Ron Johnson and Rand Paul disclosed a selection of messages dated January 25 and 26, 2021. These texts delve into discussions surrounding the COVID vaccine, specifically concerning its effects on pregnant women.

The exchanges involved prominent figures: Dr. Fauci, Rochelle Walensky—then director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—and Vivek Murthy, the former Surgeon General of the United States. Their conversation highlights pivotal health concerns of the time.

A particularly eye-opening text from the released collection shows Fauci expressing worry in January 2021. He noted that the second COVID vaccine dose might, at least theoretically, be linked to miscarriages during the first trimester.

The senators emphasized the extensive nature of the data, revealing that Fauci’s device holds an impressive cache of over 34,000 text messages and 522 voicemails. This discovery underscores the depth of communication involved during the pandemic’s critical period.

‘Oddly, only three contacts are listed; all other text messages are identified only with phone numbers rather than contact names. It is too early to determine whether any data has been deleted,’ the duo noted in a Monday press release.

Johnson has requested transcribed interviews with the infamous COVID-19 doctor, as well as other Food and Drug Administration officials.

Johnson alleges that senior FDA officials ignored warnings that the agency’s COVID-19 vaccine safety monitoring system was failing to detect potential safety signals.

The closed-door transcribed interview process is what the House Oversight Committee has been using in the Epstein investigations. Information obtained has been released to the general public within days of the interviews.

Johnson is requesting that Fauci appear before his committee to ‘provide much-needed transparency about the COVID-19 pandemic and the government’s response to it, including early treatments and the development, deployment, safety monitoring, and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccines.’

Fauci appeared before the Senate for a bombshell hearing last month, during which he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times under questioning from Senators. He was found by Paul’s committee to be in contempt of Congress. Paul later referred the contempt vote to the Department of Justice.

During his opening statements on Capitol Hill in last month’s hearing, Fauci accused Paul of having an ‘unhinged obsession’ with him.

And several moments went off the rails.

Republican Senator Bernie Moreno called Fauci a ‘total disgrace,’ also noting that he felt compelled to run for office six years ago when he saw a story of a mom being arrested while watching a football game outside with her family, due to breaking guidelines issued by governments based on Fauci’s advice.

‘Who the f**k do you think you were for doing that? It was a total disgrace to this country, and if my Democrat colleagues are standing there defending you, I hope the voters of the United States of America have watched clips of every one of them building a guy who was more interested in being a celebrity than doing his job,’ he exclaimed. 

Fauci’s lead attorney, David Schertler, was also removed by security from the hearing after trying to speak on his client’s behalf.

‘I didn’t invite you here to testify,’ Paul told him, before ordering guards to eject him.

Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat, later read out a statement from Schertler accusing Paul of running something other than ‘a serious effort to seek information’. The Republican, it said, has ‘built a personal brand’ around his pursuit of the doctor.

Paul hit back that in no courtroom in America can a witness plead the Fifth and then have his lawyer testify for him.

‘The attorney is complaining and testifying, saying you didn’t do it. The prosecution is unfair. You don’t get to do that,’ he said. ‘That’s one thing you give up when you take the Fifth Amendment and say I’m not going to testify.”He was not invited to testify, he was out of order, and it was appropriate to have him ejected,’ Paul told the room of attendees and reporters at the hearing.

Fauci’s personal diaries were released by Paul last month, showing how he delighted in his interactions with celebrities as America went through the death throes of the early pandemic. 

A chilling video has surfaced, capturing the dramatic collapse of a building after a devastating 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked western Colombia on Monday. The powerful quake leveled structures across numerous cities, claiming at least 73 lives as the death toll climbed and many were trapped beneath the debris.

In the footage, the building succumbs to the tremors as onlookers watch in shock, their screams filling the air just moments before the structure gives way entirely.

Colombia’s geological service reported the earthquake’s magnitude at 7.4, occurring at a depth of 96 kilometers (approximately 60 miles). According to the U.S. tsunami warning system, there is no threat of a tsunami.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated on X, “The Trump Administration is closely monitoring the large earthquake that struck Colombia and stands ready to support the people of Colombia and President @ABDELAESPRIELLA’s Administration.”

“American citizens in Colombia should enroll at http://STEP.State.gov and follow @USEmbassyBogota’s social media accounts for the latest information.”

The highest reported death toll was in Pereira, a city in Colombia’s coffee-growing region, where Mayor Mauricio Salazar said 18 people had died. In nearby Manizales, Mayor Jorge Eduardo Rojas said three people were killed.

One person died in Buenaventura, Colombia’s main Pacific port, when a building collapsed, trapping several people, Mayor Ligia del Carmen Cordoba said.

People remained trapped in Cali, one of Colombia’s largest cities, after more than two dozen structures collapsed, Mayor Alejandro Eder said. He added that the city had asked authorities in Bogota and Medellin to send disaster teams to support rescue efforts.

“At this point, two people have already been rescued alive, one elderly woman and one young girl. There are more people trapped,” Eder told Blu Radio. “We have at least 12 critical points and 25 collapsed structures that we are responding to.”

The quake’s epicenter was near San Jose del Palmar, in Choco, a sparsely populated province on Colombia’s Pacific coast. Choco Governor Nubia Carolina Cordoba-Curi said there were injuries and significant damage in Quibdo, the provincial capital, and warned residents about aftershocks.

Colombia’s civil aviation authority said flights were suspended at airports in Pereira, Manizales, Quibdo, Armenia, Cartago and Buenaventura while inspectors checked for structural damage.

The country’s disaster agency said the quake, which occurred at 7:34 local time (8:34 ET), was felt in nine departments and all 32 departmental capitals, triggering evacuations and reports of damage.

Reuters witnesses in the Venezuelan border state of Tachira and the central-western city of Barquisimeto reported the quake had been felt there. Venezuela was hit by devastating twin earthquakes in June, which killed more than 6,000 people, mostly on the coast near the capital, Caracas.
