An aspiring New York City actress has finally faced down the suspect she helped police capture in connection with her father's 1986 slaying.

Joselyn Martinez watched in court as Justo Santos pleaded not guilty Monday at his arraignment on murder and weapons possession charges. She said after the court appearance she felt "satisfaction."

Santos was arrested this month in Miami. He had been named a suspect soon after November 1986 killing of Jose Martinez in Manhattan but had fled to the Dominican Republic.

Joselyn Martinez says since 2008 she had been paying for online background search programs to look up Santos' name. One of her searches turned up a phone number and a Miami address. She handed her information over to police, leading to Santos' arrest.

An Arizona man on trial for sending his 16-year-old nephew into a busy intersection last summer with a fake grenade launcher was convicted Monday of endangering the teen's life and carrying out a terrorism hoax.

Jurors in Maricopa County Superior Court got the case Monday afternoon and deliberated two hours before finding 40-year-old filmmaker Michael David Turley guilty of endangerment and knowingly giving a false impression in the July 28 mock terrorism scenario at a northwest Phoenix intersection.

Sentencing is set for Aug. 28. Prosecutors said Turley faces penalties ranging from probation to more than five years in prison.

In a YouTube video that Turley made of the hoax, his young relative was dressed in a sheet, had a scarf wrapped around his head, made erratic movements while in a crosswalk and pointed the fake weapon at vehicles, prompting motorists to call 911.

Prosecutor Michael Anderson told jurors in closing arguments Monday that Turley, who was responsible for his nephew's safety that day, could have gotten his young relative killed in the hoax.

Anderson said some motorists who saw the teen with the realistic-looking fake launcher had discussions about whether they should run him over. Still, some recordings of 911 calls also showed that some witnesses assumed the weapon was a fake.

Turley's attorney, Brad Rideout, said callers weren't terrified and instead figured they were witnessing a joke, pointing out that they could see his client filming the hoax and that his nephew did a brief dance while on the street corner.

Earlier in the trial that began June 11, Rideout had told jurors that it was foolish for Turley to get his nephew involved but noted that no one was injured and no vehicles wrecked as a result of the hoax.

In testimony last week, Turley said his video of the hoax was meant to be satirical and that most passing motorists laughed at them. He told jurors he didn't think his actions endangered his nephew's life.

In the YouTube video, a narrator identified as Turley said he wanted to see how long it would take authorities to respond to a terrorist situation and mentioned a movie theater shooting two weeks earlier that killed 12 people in Aurora, Colo.

The teenager carried the fake launcher on his shoulder as he made his way across a crosswalk. The narrator said the teen wanted to appear as intimidating as possible in hopes that people would call police.

The video also showed the first police officer to arrive on the scene, finding the 16-year-old standing in his uncle's driveway. The officer calmly told the teenager to put down the weapon and Turley to put down the camera. The officer didn't draw his gun.

Police left without making any arrests, but Turley was arrested nearly two months later after police interviewed people who called emergency services and later saw the video posted on YouTube.

Police in Oregon say they have arrested the driver they say fatally struck a man trying to dribble a soccer ball 10,000 miles from Seattle to Brazil for the World Cup.

Scott Van Hiatt, of Neskowin, was arrested Monday on a charge of criminally negligent homicide.

Richard Swanson, of Seattle, planned to dribble the ball for more than a year through 11 countries before reaching Sao Paolo, Brazil, where the opener of the World Cup soccer tournament will be played on June 12, 2014.

He was struck from behind by a pickup while walking south along busy U.S. 101 near Lincoln City on May 14.

Hiatt was indicted by a Lincoln County grand jury last week. He is jailed on $50,000 bail.

A California man who made a 911 call that ended with Pasadena police fatally shooting a college student has pleaded guilty to making a false report.

Oscar Carrillo was sentenced to 90 days in jail after pleading guilty Monday to two misdemeanor false reporting charges.

Carrillo told a dispatcher last year that he was robbed at gunpoint by two young men. He mentioned a gun eight times during the 911 call.

Responding officers shot 19-year-old Kendrec McDade, who was unarmed.

Carrillo later acknowledged he lied about guns to get a faster police response.

Carrillo was arrested for investigation of involuntary manslaughter, but prosecutors declined to charge him with that.

Besides going to jail, Carrillo will also perform 90 days of community service and pay $3,000 to Pasadena police.

A central Ohio day care worker sprinkled drugs on snacks to get children in her day care to sleep during the day, according to police charges filed Monday that the woman adamantly denies as a misunderstood joke.

Tammy Eppley was charged in Franklin County Municipal Court with six counts of child endangering after police in suburban Westerville say they obtained text messages in which she admits giving children the allergy drug Benadryl and Melatonin, a hormone and sleep aid.

"Tammy was bragging about how they were all perfectly still and being quiet or asleep," said a police report describing a video Eppley allegedly recorded on her cellphone and sent a friend.

"Tammy jokes about one of the children almost discovering her actions by remarking that the sprinkles on some cupcakes tasted funny," according to the report obtained by The Associated Press through a records request.

Eppley is also accused of mixing crushed Benadryl into pancake batter and juice for the children at her daycare, Caterpillar Clubhouse, Westerville police Det. Richard Tiburzio said in an interview Monday.

Eppley, 37, denied the charges in a phone interview, saying Tiburzio was "obsessed" with pursing the charges against her. She said she did provide drugs to children but only after getting permission from their parents.

She acknowledged making light of giving the drugs in text messages to a friend but said they were jokes.

Eppley described the comments as "very tongue-in-cheek."

"It was, `Good grief, I wish these kids would go to sleep, I wish I could drug them,"' she said.

"I do regret making that comment, obviously," she said. "It was not, `I did it."'

Tiburzio said he stands by the investigation and there is other evidence in the case.

Franklin County Children Services concluded an investigation in May and are not presently working with Eppley, said spokesman Bruce Cadwallader.

"So to us it's unsubstantiated," he said. "But the police have a different role than we do."

In 2010, two former Ohio church day care workers were each sentenced to six months in jail for slipping Melatonin into candy to get children in their care to sleep.

A central Ohio day care worker has been accused of sprinkling drugs on snacks to get children to go to sleep.

Tammy Eppley was charged Monday in Columbus with six counts of child endangering after police in nearby Westerville said they obtained text messages in which she admitted giving children the allergy medicine Benadryl and the hormone and sleep aid melatonin.

Police say Eppley jokes in one text that a child almost discovered her action after saying sprinkles on some cupcakes tasted funny.

The 37-year-old Eppley denies the accusations. She says the text messages were tongue-in-cheek jokes she regrets and they don't refer to anything that really happened.

Police reports don't indicate any children were hurt.

A county children's services agency investigation couldn't substantiate allegations of physical abuse against Eppley.

A Mississippi woman has been charged in a second death related to giving buttocks-enhancing injections without being trained or licensed.

The state attorney general's office says 53-year-old Tracey Lynn Garner of Jackson, formerly known as Morris Garner, was arrested Thursday and charged with one count of depraved heart murder. Conviction carries a potential life sentence.

The release says Garner injected "a silicone substance" into Marilyn Hale of Selma, Ala., on Jan. 13, 2010, and Hale later died.

Records show Garner was in the Hinds County Detention Center on Monday. Her attorney, John Colette, was not immediately available.

Garner had been on house arrest awaiting trial in a similar case in the 2012 death of an Atlanta woman.

A Maryland man hurt in a fight during a Baltimore Orioles game last month has moved to a rehab facility, and his lawyers said Monday they are looking for anyone who may have witnessed the exchange.

The family of 25-year-old Matthew Fortese, a doctor who treated him and his lawyers held a news conference Monday in Baltimore. The doctor said Fortese has moved to an in-patient rehabilitation facility and is working with physical, occupational and speech therapists.

Fortese's brother, Jimmy Fortese, said his brother is learning again how to talk. Jimmy Fortese said his brother is "starting to understand things a little more, starting to ask some more questions, starting to recognize some people more, but then in the next breath he could say something totally off the wall that makes no sense."

Police say Fortese was punched in the head and fell off a 5-foot wall onto a concrete walkway while attending a May 29 Orioles home game against the Washington Nationals.

Police say the episode began when a man threw beer on Fortese, who was with a date. Two men were ultimately charged with assault. Fortese was wearing a baseball cap of the Orioles' American League East Division rivals, the New York Yankees.

The family's lawyers — Erin Voss, Andrew Alperstein and E. Lynn Hoffman — asked anyone who may have witnessed the events leading up to the fight as well as the fight itself to call a tip line they've set up.

"We need help for this family. There were a lot of people that were in the stands. Those folks saw things, and we need to reach out to them. We need to hear from them," Alperstein said.

The tip line number is 410-605-2976.

A dispute over public access to court records in the case of Pfc. Bradley Manning has moved to a civilian court.

The New York-based Center for Constitutional Rights asked an Army court in 2012 for access to documents in the court-martial, which is being held at Fort Meade. In April, the military's highest court ruled it wasn't the right place for the dispute.

A government lawyer said Monday the issue is moot because the Army is now making pre-trial records available online and promises to continue to do so.

Manning is accused of aiding the enemy by leaking classified documents to the website WikiLeaks.

The center is representing itself, WikiLeaks and several others. More than 30 news organizations, including The Associated Press, supported the center's request.

A former U.S. Marine facing extradition to the Philippines on double murder charges says he is innocent.

Timothy Kaufman has been in jail since his arrest in April at business near his grandfather's Albany-area home. The 35-year-old from Knoxville, Tenn., is one of three men charged by Philippine authorities with killing a retired Northern Ireland police officer and his girlfriend in 2011.

Authorities claim it was a premeditated killing in an area known for its sometimes-seamy club scene.

In a handwritten letter sent to the media from jail, Kaufman says he would never do something as "heinous and stupid" as killing the couple. He says he left the country after the killings because he feared for his safety.

An extradition hearing is scheduled for June 25 in Albany federal court.

Investigators are digging up a Michigan field in hopes of discovering the remains of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa, whose disappearance has baffled authorities for decades.

Mobster Tony Zerilli, 85, said earlier this year that the former Teamsters president was buried in a vacant lot in northern Oakland Township, which is about 20 miles from the restaurant where Hoffa was last seen in July 1975, WJBK Fox 2 reports.

Zerilli added that the plan was to move Hoffa's body at a later date, but it never materialized.

"Once he was buried here, he was buried and they let it go," he said. Zerilli was in prison at the time.

Before his disappearance, Hoffa said he was going to meet a suspected member of the Detroit Mafia and a Teamster boss from New Jersey at the Machus Red Fox Restaurant in Bloomfield Hills, Mich.

Hoffa was legally declared dead in 1982, Fox 2 reports.

In 2004, Frank Sheeran, a close friend of Hoffa and a mob hitman, told Fox News that he killed Hoffa inside a Detroit house in 1975. Testing done by former state police detectives found the presence of blood in the floor of the house, matching Sheeran's story that he shot Hoffa and dragged his body down a hallway.

At the time, Sheeran said Hoffa was cremated in a funeral home.

One person was injured in an early-morning shooting at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino, Milwaukee police said.

Sgt. Mark Stanmeyer said the 23-year-old Milwaukee woman was shot in the leg at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday during a fight inside the casino. Her injuries were not life threatening.

A 27-year-old Wauwatosa man from arrested at the scene, Stanmeyer said. He was not immediately charged.

Police did not disclose either person's name.

The casino said in a statement that it closed temporarily after the shooting, but reopened at 9 a.m. Sunday. The statement called the shooting an "extremely isolated event."

Cheryl Anderson of Milwaukee told The Associated Press she was at the slot machines when she heard a shot, which she said was fired at the nearby table games, followed by more shots.

"We all of a sudden heard a bang," Anderson said. "It was a shooting, you could tell. It was so loud like a cannonball. We hit the floor, everybody was panicking. We just stayed there because we didn't know what the heck to do. We saw a guard running, everybody running."

Stanmeyer said the case will be referred to the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office in the coming days for possible charges.

Helen Brush Jenkins, a pioneering photojournalist who made Life magazine when she snapped a photo of her child moments after giving birth, has died. She was 94.

Columbus, Ohio, police are seeking any video that may have been taken of a shooting at a weekend festival that wounded an 11-year-old boy.

The shooting happened Saturday night at the Juneteenth Festival, which celebrates the end of slavery in the U.S. The violence ended the annual festival at a park just outside downtown Columbus.

The boy was hit in the leg by a stray gunshot and hospitalized with injuries that weren't life-threatening. A 15-year-old boy was arrested.

Police say four other young people had been involved in fighting and were arrested before the shooting.

Officers are asking the public to take a look at any cellphone or other video captured to see if it could be used as evidence in the case.

Chicago Police are investigating after a violent weekend left at least six people dead and more than three dozen wounded in a series of shootings.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Monday that it was the most violent weekend of the year in the city.

Authorities say the first homicide of the weekend happened late Friday on the city's West Side. The tally, which included at least 41 injuries, spanned Friday night through Sunday night.

The Cook County Medical Examiner's office said Monday morning that the youngest victim was 15-year-old Michael Westley, who died Sunday.

Chicago Police officials told the newspaper that more shootings took place during the same weekend last year and that there have been fewer murders so far in 2013 than any year since the mid-1960s.

A Pennsylvania teenager with a metal detector has stumbled across a 1962 high school class ring and returned it to its owner.

The Centre Daily Times reports 19-year-old Robert Nese says he was searching the ground behind Lemont Elementary School when he made the discovery recently. He found the gold State College Area High School ring buried 8 inches below the grass, with the initials DLT inside the band.

He tracked down a yearbook and found two people with matching initials. On his second try, he found that Donna Tressler had lost the ring playing softball 52 years ago.

She says she had searched the grounds for the ring for years and is floored by Nese's honesty and hard work at finding her.
