Since retiring from Major League Baseball, Carl Crawford has turned himself into a music label CEO and he is currently the head of Houston-based 1501 Entertainment which boasts the likes of Megan Thee Stallion. According to TMZ, it was reported today that Crawford was arrested in Texas for Domestic Violence, specifically, “assault fam/house mem impede breath/circulate” which is code for choking. 

As for the details surrounding his arrest, a woman alleges she had recently broken up with Crawford and that on May 8th, they met up with each other to talk things out. That’s when Crawford allegedly got violent and pulled out a gun. The former MLB star allegedly eventually unloaded the gun and grabbed her by the neck. The woman claims Crawford was interrogating her about a man she had recently been seeing and that he even threatened to hurt the man. From there, Crawford allegedly continued to send her upsetting text messages.

Last month, Crawford experienced a tragedy at his home when a woman and a small child drowned in his pool. Following that tragic event, Crawford had issued a statement saying: “My Hearts Heavy. The tragic events that occurred at my home will be with me forever. I’m at a loss for words I’ve struggled all week to manage my emotions and I keep thinking of the families of those who’ve passed and their grief, I know they have it the hardest. They are the first and last thing I think of these days. Please keep them in your prayers, I know they will always be in mine.”

Police brutality has become all too common in the United States over the past few decades although now that we are in the internet age, the egregious acts of police officers have been put on full display. While many are still mourning the death of George Floyd, a brand new video has surfaced from Midland, Texas in which a man by the name of Tye Anders was arrested for allegedly rolling through a stop sign.

In the video below, you can see officers point their guns at Anders despite the fact that he is clearly surrendering himself with his hands up in front of his home. At one point, his 90-year-old grandmother came out to help calm everyone down but when the officers went to go arrest the 21-year-old, they ended up knocking the elderly woman to the ground. Justin Moore, Anders' attorney, is now speaking out on behalf of his client, noting that he did nothing wrong.

It seems like the United States will be dealing with COVID-19 for the indefinite future. The Texas Department of Health reported that just this Saturday, amid the relaxation of social distancing protocols, over 1,800 new coronavirus cases have been reported, the highest single-day increase of confirmed cases since the pandemic began.  

Before this massive single-day increase, the average daily number of new infections was about 1,227, and the state had never seen an increase greater than 1,500 in one day. Texas began lifting social distancing protocols in early May and allowing restaurants, malls, movie theaters, and stores to open at 25% capacity. Gyms will be able to open, starting today at 25% capacity.  

On the increase in confirmed COVID-19 cases, Governor of Texas Greg Abbott said in a statement that this increase in confirmed cases was expected with an increase in testing being done. “These teams conducted a site survey of high-risk areas to begin testing employees in meat packing facilities,” Abbott continued, “Today, Texas is seeing the results of those tests and will continue to see these results in targeted areas over the next two weeks.” 

Even with these increases in cases, Gov. Abbott is expected to announce plans on Monday to move forward with reopening the state and allowing businesses to operate at an increased 50% capacity.

H-Town Hottie Megan Thee Stallion was previously linked to Moneybagg Yo but that ended several months ago, leaving room for Bagg to move on with Ari Fletcher. The Suga rapper never seemed too interested in moving onto another relationship, messing around with some select names but never locking herself down. She’s said on numerous occasions that nobody is ready to handle her. Could that be what’s holding her back?

If you ask fellow Texas rapper Slim Thug, he may just be what Megan needs to feel comfortable enough to settle down. 

Sliding into her comments on social media, Slim Thug wrote that she needs what he’s got.

“She need a Texas n***a that’s taller than her that can handle all dat ass get u a OG like B,” wrote Slim Thug, flirting with the star. 

What do you think? Could he and Megan Thee Stallion become the next rap super-couple? Only time will tell.

Giving back to fans of Texas rap, Stalli recently released the Chopped Not Slopped version of her latest project, collaborating with The Chopstars for some fun. She has also been sharing a flurry of bikini thirst traps to her social channels, which is what got Slim Thug interested in the first place.

Do you think they can make it work?

The city of Houston will be dedicating a day each to Beyoncé and Megan Thee Stallion in recognition of all their contributions toward helping their hometown with their "Savage" remix. On Wednesday, Bey and Meg dropped a bomb on all of us when they revealed that they'd linked up to remix Meg's "Savage" and bless us all. The song has been blowing up, and there's no doubt it'll be putting some extra coin in these ladies' pockets. However, it turns out that these two Houston Hotties have decided to donate all the profits from the "Savage" remix toward Bread For Life, a local Houston charity that aims "to end homelessness and improve the quality of life of those in need."

Mayor of Houston, Sylvester Turner, has recognized the good that these two Houston natives are doing for the community, and decided to show the whole city's appreciation with a pretty big gesture. After the remix dropped, Mayor Turner tweeted that both Beyoncé and Megan will each be receiving their own respective days dedicated to them.

Dak Prescott found himself in some hot water last week when he was caught on camera holding a party for one of his friends at his home in Texas. Running back Ezekiel Elliott was at the dinner party as well so both players ended up getting into quite a bit of trouble with the media. Of course, this was only an issue because of the Coronavirus and how we are all supposed to be practicing social distancing right now. In fact, there is a stay at home order in Texas urging people not to go out.

Prescott recently issued a statement to ProFootballTalk about the matter and as you can see, he never meant to do any harm.

Per Prescott:

“I understand and accept that there are additional responsibilities and media scrutiny that come with being an NFL quarterback, but it is very frustrating and disappointing when people provide completely inaccurate information from anonymous sources, especially now. To set the record straight, I know that we all need to do our best to socially distance and like everyone else, I am continuing to adjust to what that requires, but the truth is that I was with fewer than 10 people for a home dinner — not a party — on Friday night. I am very sensitive to the challenges we are all facing and making sure to support the first responders and medical personnel and everyone else putting in long hours. We are all at a time when we need to keep educating ourselves about the importance of health and isolation during this pandemic and I will continue to make sure to do my part by following the guidelines until we are approved to start returning to normal activities.”

While Prescott is adamant the dinner plans had less than 10 people, it’s clear that he won’t be hosting any sort of engagements like this again.

Blowing the “wind of God” might be the cure to the coronavirus according to a Texas Pastor.

Just this past Thursday, Televangelist Kenneth Copeland held a sermon and stated that the pandemic will end “much sooner than you think” due to Christians all over praying for the country and announced that “the wind of God” will destroy the deadly virus. Last month, Copeland's sermon declared that COVID-19 was "finished" and that the United States was "healed and well again." 

In this latest sermon, which you can see in the clip below, the Fort Worth-based pastor blew his breath towards the camera so that God could kill the COVID-19 with heat and wind. "I blow the wind of God on you. You are destroyed forever, and you’ll never be back. Thank you, God. Let it happen. Cause it to happen," he declared. Copeland, along with a few fellow members of his church, chanted to an empty room calling out, "Wind, almighty, strong, south wind, Heat: Burn this thing, in the name of Jesus. I say, you bow your knees. You fall on your face." 

Three years ago, Pastor Copeland stated that God told him he needed to raise $300 million dollars for his ministry and will not let the Coronavirus stop him from reaching that goal. He's continued to urge viewers of his show to pay tithes, despite unemployment claims reaching new heights every week. 

This isn't the first megachurch pastor to hit the news during the pandemic.

InfoWars host Alex Jones was arrested on a misdemeanour DWI charge in Austin, Texas, according to TMZ. Jones was booked around 12:30 AM on Tuesday morning (Mar. 10) at the Travis County Sheriff’s Department and was released on a $3,000 bond by 4 AM. 

The police report obtained by TMZ details that police were called to Jones’ residence over a family disturbance. His wife claimed that she and Jones were embroiled in a verbal altercation, but at some point earlier in the day, it “was physical.” TMZ noted that it is unclear who Jones’ wife is in this case, as the conspiracy theorist divorced his previous wife in 2015 and it was not public knowledge that he had remarried. Whoever this woman is, she supposedly told the cops that Jones drove off in his car and may have been drinking.

Jones was found and pulled over around 10 PM on Monday. The report states that a strong odor of alcohol was detected emanating off of Jones’ person. He blew slightly below a .08 on the Intoxilyzer twice, but struggled with the field sobriety tests and displayed impaired balance. Jones told the police he drank a bottle of sake while he and his wife were at a sushi restaurant a couple hours earlier. After walking home from dinner and getting in an argument, Jones supposedly took the car out to get away from her. 

A Texas man by the name of D’Adrien Anderson is going to jail for posting a video of himself licking a carton of ice cream in Wal-Mart and putting it back on the shelf. Anderson was supposedly influenced by a 17-year-old girl who committed the same revolting act in a video that went viral in July 2019. The young woman who was later identified by authorities inspired a string of social media videos of people contaminating grocery store products and putting them back on the shelves. While the trend has officially come to an end, it has led to multiple arrests across the country including Anderson's who be serving time in the clink for his attempt at social media fame.

In Aug. 2019, the 24-year-old posted a video of himself licking a carton of Blue Bell creamery ice cream and putting back on the shelf of Wal-Mart's refrigerated aisle. In court, Anderson revealed that he paid for the ice cream that he licked in the video and even provided a receipt for the container as concrete evidence. 

Unfortunately for him, he was still arrested and charged with criminal mischief due to Wal-Mart having to dispose of all the Blue Bell ice cream in their refrigeration system. According to NBC's WHTR, Anderson was sentenced to 30 days in jail with an additional 180 days probation over the next two years. D’Adrien Anderson is also obligated to finish a total of 100 hours of community service. Jefferson County District Attorney’s Office court documents state that Anderson is required to pay a fine of $1000 and compensation in the amount of $1,565 to Blue Bell Creameries. 

Check out the video of the class A misdemeanor charge that led to Anderson's jail sentence in the video provided below. 

A woman in Texas was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison after being accused of stabbing and beheading her five-year-old daughter, back in 2017. 27-year-old, Krystle Villanueva, was officially sentenced by a Hays County judge and jury this past Thursday (March 5) in connection to the death of her daughter, Giovanna Hernandez. The adolescent girl was reportedly murdered by her mother at their home in Kyle,  located approximately 20 miles southwest of Austin.

In 2017, Villanueva was arrested after police were called to the home she shared with her daughter Giovanna, Giovanna’s father, and his parents. The prosecutors claim that the young mother told 911 operators that she killed and mutilated her daughter’s body after she “asked for cereal.” According to AP News, Villanueva was also found guilty of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the stabbing of the five-year-old’s grandfather.

Krystle Villanueva’s defense attorney attempted to claim that she was clinically insane which should have garnered her a not guilty verdict. Her lawyer, Carlos Garcia, released a statement to The Associated Press on Friday (March 6) declaring his client suffered from psychosis for a multitude of years. In court, Garcia stated that on the day of the attack and beheading, Villanueva believed that her family had been taken over by clones.

Prior to Villanueva’s official verdict, the Austin American-Statesmen revealed that the authorities had previously only told the media and general public that the child’s body had been ‘mutilated.’ But now, with Villanueva officially locked up behind bars for life without parole, they revealed her horrendous crime to the masses as one of the most brutal and unnecessary murders of this current generation.
