Port St. Lucie, Fla.

Authorities in Florida say a man has been arrested for throwing a rock through the window of a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicle.

According to the Port St. Lucie Police Department, the incident unfolded quickly outside of a Wawa convenience store earlier this week.

Pasqual Velasquez Martin, 19, is accused of throwing a rock at a federal agent’s vehicle as it drove by, after his father was taken into custody.

“If you commit a crime in the city of Port St. Lucie, we’re going to enforce the law, and that’s all there is to it,” Port St. Lucie Police Chief Leo Niemczyk said.

Authorities said federal agents were making an arrest during an immigration enforcement operation when Martin threw the large rock at an agent’s vehicle that ended up shattering the rear window.

Martin took off from the initial scene, but police said he didn’t get far, as multiple agents were in the area and quickly took him into custody.

The 19-year-old has been charged with throwing a deadly missile into an occupied vehicle, a second-degree felony.

Police also thanked community members for helping to identify Martin as the person responsible for breaking the ICE vehicle’s window.

Norristown, Pa.

Authorities in Pennsylvania say a mother has pleaded guilty to multiple charges in connection with the death of her adult son.

According to the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, Sherrilynn Hawkins was sentenced by Judge Wendy Rothstein to 25 to 50 years in prison on Monday.

Hawkins’ charges included third-degree murder, neglect of a dependent care person, theft by deception and conspiracy to theft by deception.

Hawkins was arrested last December after her son, 21-year-old Tylim Hatchett, a care-dependent person, died Sept. 18, 2024.

Montgomery County authorities said the investigation started after Upper Dublin police responded to an apartment complex in Dresher for a report of an unresponsive person that night.

Officers arrived and found Hatchett severely emaciated and lying on the floor.

Vernon Hatchett, Tylim Hatchett’s father, was at the scene and told officers he found his son on the floor, but officers noted he did not call 911 until about two hours later.

Tylim Hatchett was pronounced dead at the scene.

An autopsy was conducted on Sept. 19, 2024, by a forensic pathologist at the Montgomery County Coroner’s Office. Tylim Hatchett‘s cause of death was found to be complications of cerebral palsy in the setting of neglect, with his death ruled a homicide.

Detectives said they found that from February 2024 to Sept. 18, 2024, Tylim Hatchett lost 31 pounds, dropping from 91 pounds to 59 pounds in about seven months.

According to investigators, they found that Hawkins and Loretta Harris, a Philadelphia woman, were receiving money and submitting hours to Aveanna Healthcare to be compensated for time they were reportedly caring for Tylim Hatchett.

However, investigators said they were not giving him proper care, leaving him alone at times for upwards of 24 hours at a time.

Medical records for Tylim Hatchett found through Aveanna Healthcare listed several medications he was meant to take daily, prepared and provided by a caregiver, as Tylim Hatchett was unable to self-medicate. However, he was allegedly not receiving the proper medications during the reported care times.

Authorities noted that throughout last September, Hawkins messaged Vernon Hatchett about their son’s deteriorating health, yet continued to leave him alone without providing him with food or medicine.

An arrest warrant remains in effect for Vernon Hatchett on charges that include first-degree felony counts of neglect and abuse of care for a dependent person resulting in death.

Authorities also charged Harris with related charges in the case during their initial investigation.

Anyone with further information on Vernon Hatchett’s whereabouts is urged to contact Montgomery County Detectives at 610-278-3386.

Loved ones of Diane Keaton are reportedly sharing how the award-winning actress died at the age of 79.

In a family statement shared by People, Keaton is said to have died from pneumonia.

“The Keaton family is very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11,” the shared statement read.

People reported her death on Saturday while noting that her health had suddenly declined.

According to The Associated Press, a family member said that Keaton died in California with loved ones.

The Oscar-winning actress starred in such films as “Annie Hall,” “The Godfather” and “Father of the Bride.”

Keaton was celebrated with a life achievement award in 2017 and had her hand and footprint cemented in a ceremony outside the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles in 2022.

“I don’t think about my film legacy,” The AP quoted her saying at the event. “I’m just lucky to have been here at all in any way, shape or form. I’m just fortunate. I don’t see myself as anything other than that.”

Autism ‘highly likely’ linked to Tylenol and circumcision, RFK Jr. says

Washington

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed Thursday in a cabinet meeting that there may be a link between circumcision and autism.

The health secretary stated that it was due to the administration of Tylenol to infants following the procedure.

“There are two studies which show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, it’s highly likely, because they were given Tylenol,” Kennedy is quoted by the New York Post as telling President Donald Trump in Thursday’s meeting.

According to The Associated Press, Kennedy appears to be referring to a study in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine in 2015, which looked at ritual circumcision and the risk of autism spectrum disorder in boys under 10.

It reportedly found that those who had undergone the procedure, which involves the removal of the foreskin from the penis, were more likely to develop autism than other boys in the study.

Researchers suggested that a potential link might be due to the pain associated with the procedure.

President Trump urged pregnant women not to take Tylenol during a White House news conference last month, saying that there is a potential link between Tylenol usage during pregnancy and autism.
