Sheriff Rejects Miami-Dade GTA Vice City Marketing Plan

Miami-Dade Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz is opposing a proposed marketing deal with Rockstar Games for GTA VI that would turn real-world sites into Vice City branding, saying the game’s crime-focused world clashes with the county’s public-safety image; the plan, floated by Mayor Daniella Levine Cava’s staff, includes airport signage, manhole branding, and Metromover wraps, and comes as the county weighs Sheriff’s Office funding and other leaders cite potential economic benefits.

117 Dog Remains Found in California Field as Sheriff Probes Rescue

Investigators using ground-penetrating radar uncovered 117 intact dog remains buried in a field in California as part of a sheriff’s probe into a local rescue operation; many remains show gunshot wounds, and investigators found evidence of bullet fragments on site. The sheriff’s office said hundreds of dogs were transferred or turned over to Miranda’s Rescue by private citizens and other shelters. Miranda’s Rescue described itself as no-kill, noting euthanasia would only occur in rare humane circumstances, while authorities continue to investigate potential wrongdoing.

Arkansas sheriff candidate's murder charge dropped over lost dash-cam evidence

A judge dismissed the second-degree murder charge against Aaron Spencer, the Lonoke County sheriff nominee who shot Michael Fosler, citing egregious law-enforcement misconduct after the dash-cam video evidence was mishandled or lost; Spencer says he acted to protect his daughter from Fosler, who had been charged with sexual offenses against her, and the case was dropped weeks before trial.

New Orleans Sheriff Faces 30-Count Indictment as Term Ends

The New Orleans sheriff, Susan Hutson, and her chief financial officer, Bianka Brown, were indicted on a 30-count and a 20-count slate respectively, alleging malfeasance, conspiracy, payroll fraud and obstruction linked to jail operations and a May 2025 mass escape. Hutson’s term ends soon; bonds were set at $300,000 for Hutson and $200,000 for Brown, passports must be surrendered, and both must stay in Louisiana. Former interim New Orleans police chief Michelle Woodfork will take office in May to replace Hutson, with officials pledging accountability and improved jail oversight.

CA Sheriff’s Fresh Ballot Seizures Intensify Battle Over Election Recount

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco, a Republican candidate for governor, seized 426 additional ballot boxes as part of a criminal probe into alleged voter irregularities, adding to a prior seizure of about 650,000 ballots. State officials led by Attorney General Rob Bonta say the investigation lacks credible evidence and have filed lawsuits to pause or challenge it; a separate lawsuit seeks to block a recount tied to last year’s Prop 50. A UCLA Voting Rights Project suit and a secretary of state critique underscore concerns about undermining public trust in elections, while a court panel denied a bid to stop the recount. Critics note a claimed discrepancy of 45,896 votes versus the actual difference of 103, highlighting the dispute over the case’s basis.
