NFL Draft flop Shedeur Sanders was stopped by cops for speeding two weeks before getting caught driving over 100mph in Cleveland
The revelation that Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders had been caught speeding by police in the city didn't come as a surprise to law enforcement. Yesterday, it was revealed that Sanders was pulled over in the suburb of Strongsville on Tuesday by authorities who issued a citation. The rookie quarterback out of Colorado was clocked driving at 101mph, 41 miles over the posted speed limit. Nearly a day later, it's been revealed that this is the second time this month that Sanders has been stopped for reckless driving. Back on June 6, Sanders was stopped in another Cleveland suburb - Brunswick Hills - by the Ohio State Patrol. According to records, Sanders was pulled over for driving 91 mph in a 65 mph zone at 12:24 in the morning. A spokesperson for the team told that the team has addressed the citations with the rookie. "He is taking care of the tickets," team spokesman Peter John-Baptiste told the media outlet. For the June 6 incident, Sanders faces $269 in fines and court costs for his recklessness. As for the most recent ticket, he has the choice of either paying the $250 fine or fighting the fourth-degree misdemeanor charge in court on July 3. Sanders was tipped by many - his own father included - to be a top-five draft pick. But the former Colorado quarterback suffered one the most shocking slides in NFL history. He was eventually selected by Cleveland in the fifth round with the 144th overall pick - not before the Browns had taken ex-Oregon star Dillon Gabriel.

NBA star Zach Edey charged with reckless driving after cops allegedly caught him at 101mph
NBA player Zach Edey has been charged with reckless driving after cops allegedly caught him speeding at 101mph. The Memphis Grizzlies center was caught by police while driving through a 55mph zone on May 1. Fox 59 reported that an Indiana State Trooper pulled Edey, 23, over at 7:03pm and issued him a citation. Edey, driving a Kia Sorento, reportedly told the officers that he was only travelling at that speed because he was trying to pass another vehicle. The former Purdue standout is said to be due in Tippecanoe Superior 6 court on Monday to face a misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. The incident occurred in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. That is where Purdue is based and Edey spent four seasons. Purdue's men's basketball team posted a photo of Edey in Mackey on May 6 where he could be seen alongside other players and alumni. Earlier this month it emerged Edey could miss the start of the 2025-26 NBA season after he underwent surgery on his left ankle. Edey needed the procedure to repair and restabilize his ankle after spraining it again during offseason training. The Grizzlies said the 7-foot-3 Canadian would be evaluated again in four months, which is less than two weeks before the 2025-26 season opens October 21. The two-time national player of the year at Purdue missed 12 games early in the season because of a sprained left ankle. He went on to play in 66 games, making 55 starts, and averaged 9.2 points and a rookie-leading 8.3 rebounds. He was voted to the All-Rookie first team.

Man 'intentionally' drives into protesters at 'No Kings' in Virginia, police
Authorities in Virginia arrested a 21-year-old man they said intentionally drove an SUV through the crowd at the town's "No Kings" day event. Culpeper police officers arrested Joseph R. Checklick Jr., of Culpeper, on June 14, at the conclusion of the demonstration. Participants were leaving the area and crossing through a business's parking lot when an SUV drove "recklessly through the crowd of pedestrians," the department said in a news release. Culpeper Police charged Checklick with reckless driving, according to the release. He appeared before a magistrate and was ordered to be held without bond at the Culpeper County Jail. Officers said they stopped the vehicle and identified the driver as Checklick. Their preliminary investigation determined that Checklick had "intentionally accelerated his vehicle into the dispersing crowd, striking at least one person with his vehicle." No injuries were reported to police. The person Checklick is accused of striking with his vehicle has not been identified by law enforcement, the release said. The incident in Virginia occurred as millions took part in coordinated "No Kings" protests from coast to coast, criticizing the Trump administration. The "No Kings" marches, rallies and demonstrations were organized to coincide with the Army's "Grand Military Parade and Celebration, which falls on Trump's 79th birthday and Flag Day. Several years ago, a car drove into a crowd of counterprotesters about an hour from Culpeper in Charlottesville, Virginia, killing a demonstrator. James Alex Fields Jr. was convicted of killing a woman named Heather Heyer, after intentionally driving into a group protesting a 'Unite the Right' rally in Charlottesville on Aug. 12, 2017. Fields was convicted of first-degree and eight other charges, including aggravated malicious wounding and hit and run. Heyer, a 32-year-old paralegal and civil rights activist, was killed, and nearly three dozen were injured during the attack.

Man arrested after 'intentionally' driving into crowd of protesters at 'No Kings Day' rally in Virginia
A man who police say intentionally drove into a crowd of protestors at a 'No Kings Day' rally in Virginia has been arrested and charged. Joseph R. Checklick Jr., 21, drove his SUV through a dispersing crowd in a parking lot, which led to him 'striking at least one person with his vehicle,' police said in a statement. The protest took place throughout Saturday afternoon in Culpeper, a small town roughly 70 miles from Washington, D.C., where President Donald Trump 's birthday military parade - the event 'No Kings' organizers are trying to counter - has already commenced. As of 3:45pm, the Culpeper Police Department said no injuries had been reported as a result of Checklick's alleged attack. The person who was struck by his vehicle also hasn't been identified. As of now, Checklick has been charged with reckless driving, which is merely a class 1 misdemeanor under Virginia state law. This kind of crime comes with no jail time and a mandatory minimum fine of $250. Checklick could face more charges in the future, as the investigation is active and ongoing, police said. He is being held without bond at the Culpeper County Jail. Culpeper Democrats posted on Facebook, thanking Culpeper Police Department for their 'quick response and for keeping our protest safe.' The Culpeper Police Department told that it asking anyone who has information or witnessed the incident at the protest to contact Detective Payne or email the department at tips@ Because the investigation is still in its early stages, a police spokesperson said 'we aren't releasing any information regarding potential or alleged motives for Mr. Checklick Jr's actions.' Social media reports showed large crowds at the 'No Kings Day' protest in Culpeper, with organizers claiming that more than 600 people showed up. Across the country, there have been some 2,000 'No Kings Day' protests, with attendees pushing back against what they describe as Trump's march toward authoritarianism on issues such as immigration enforcement, civil rights and cuts to the federal government through DOGE. It's unclear what Checklick's possible motives were, but Saturday hasn't been a day lacking in political violence. Early on Saturday morning, a gunman entered the residence of Minnesota state Senator John Hoffman, a Democrat, and his wife early Saturday, shooting both and leaving them critically injured. He then proceeded to the home of former Democratic House Speaker Melissa Hortman, where she and her husband were fatally shot. Vance Luther Boelter, 57, who was appointed by Walz in 2019 to serve a four-year stint on the Governor's Workforce Development Board, has been identified as the suspect in the quadruple shooting Vance Luther Boelter, 57, who was appointed by Governor Tim Walz in 2019 to serve a four-year stint on the Governor's Workforce Development Board, has been identified as the suspect in the quadruple shooting. The first shooting occurred just after 2am at Hoffman's home in Champlin, about 20 miles from Minneapolis. Hoffman and his wife were shot multiple times, KSTP reported. The second attack took place at around 4am at Hortman's Brooklyn Park residence, eight miles south. After that shooting, police engaged the suspect in a gunfight on the street, officials said. Drew Evans, head of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, confirmed that the suspect escaped during the exchange and remains at large. According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Boelter stands at 6-foot-1, weighs roughly 220 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. He was last seen on Saturday morning in Minneapolis, wearing a light-colored cowboy hat, a dark long-sleeve shirt, and light pants. Authorities have urged residents not to approach Boelter if they see him. He is considered 'armed and dangerous.'
