It's safe to say there will be no shortage of storylines for the next episode of "Hard Knocks."
We know all about the ugliness surrounding Chad Johnson right now, but we also have a quarterback race that's turned into a wide-open affair.
With David Garrard temporarily out of the mix following knee surgery, it's Matt Moore and Ryan Tannehill competing to take this team into the regular season. Both quarterbacks will split reps with the first team this week, with coach Joe Philbin saying he'll "let things play out" before naming a starter for Friday's pr...
"As the week progresses, we're going to kinda make a decision," he said. "Our plan all along was to hopefully get all three of those quarterbacks reps with the first group in preseason. Again, we haven't quite crossed that bridge yet."
"I think I've stated in the past, in an ideal situation when you have a quarterback competition going on in training camp, you'd probably like to have your starter potentially named after your second preseason game."
Make no mistake: The player who gets the nod on Friday night will be in the driver's seat in this race. For Moore, it's a second life just when it appeared his Dolphins career was at a crossroads. As for Tannehill, this job is his ... if he can find a way to take it.
State police shot and wounded a man holding a shotgun Saturday night in the Town of Barton in Tioga County.
Troopers wounded Joel P. Shelley, 23, of Marietta several times after he allegedly approached troopers aggressively while holding a shotgun.
At approximately 10 p.m. Saturday, Shelley pulled into a U-Turn on State Route 17 and allegedly pointed a shotgun at a trooper already parked in the U-Turn. Shelley then fled in his vehicle.
Close to 20 minutes later, two other troopers observed Shelley’s vehicle traveling north on State Route 34 in the Town of Barton, close to the Chemung County line.
The troopers attempted to pull Shelley over, who initially refused. Several minutes later, he stopped and exited the vehicle, allegedly carrying the shotgun and advancing on the troopers, forcing them to open fire.
Shelley was transported to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, Pa., by Greater Valley Ambulance, where he was treated for gunshot wounds.
The investigation is continuing, with charges pending against Shelley.
A caregiver was sentenced for theft and credit card fraud from elderly women in Accomack County court.
An Accomack County woman who worked as a caregiver for two elderly women and who prosecutors said stole from both of them will spend a year in jail.
Brenda Lee Johnson, 53, of Keller was in Accomack County court Sept. 20 for sentencing.
In February, Johnson had entered an Alford plea to seven counts of forgery, credit card fraud and larceny in the case where she was accused of altering checks and using an employer’s credit card.
The plea of no-contest means she did not admit to the crime but knows the commonwealth has enough evidence for a conviction.
At her sentencing, the defendant’s husband and a friend both testified that Johnson had family obligations that would make it impossible for her to spend any time in jail.
Laura Thomas testified that her friend provided care for her stepdaughter who suffers from a multitude of diseases.
Johnson’s husband, Thomas Pruitt, testified that she provided round-the-clock care for his daughter and that she herself had a number of ailments including spinal stenosis, an upcoming knee replacement and was in constant pain.
He told the court his wife denied all the charges even though, at her trial, she pleaded no contest.
Pruitt appeared surprised when Commonwealth’s Attorney Spencer Morgan questioned him about his wife’s 2004 embezzlement conviction.
He said Pruitt had no idea about her prior conviction.
“In light of her lack of candor, a year (in jail) would be just and sufficient,” he said.
Defense attorney Paul Watson mentioned her care of her stepdaughter as well as her own health problems. He said she spent three weeks in jail when arrested and had paid full restitution.
“She has a lot of issues at home,” he said.
Watson asked that the court go below the sentencing guidelines and sentence her to time served.
In one of the cases, Johnson was hired by by a woman to take care of her mother, according to court testimony during her February trial.
The agreed upon rate for Johnson was $10 an hour, Morgan said at the trial. Johnson altered her paychecks by changing the written amount, he said.
One check for $720 was changed to $820, Morgan said. Another check written for $890 was changed to $1,890.
There was a photo of the defendant presenting the checks at each of the banks, Morgan told the court at the time. When confronted by police, Johnson denied altering the checks, he told the court.
A second case with a different family involved credit card larceny, Morgan said.
The woman who hired her noticed a fraudulent charge on her credit card bill. There was a charge on her Discover card paying a Dish Network bill. Investigation showed the address on the Dish bill was the residence of the defendant.
Morgan said there was money missing from that employer as well but police were unable to find evidence sufficient to prove that charge.
The incidents dated to 2016.
“This was a serious situation,” said Judge W. Revell Lewis III at the sentencing. “You were a caregiver getting $10 an hour. You altered the checks, one by $1,000 and one by $100. This is most egregious in that someone trusted you to be in their home.
“It is always inconvenient for people to go to jail,” he said.
He sentenced Johnson to a total of 12 years with all but 12 months suspended.
Johnson cried and then turned and glared angrily at the people who had hired her as a caretaker for their family members before being led from the courtroom to begin serving her time.
Not long ago, as Mario M. Cuomo lunched with friends at the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center, someone asked him why he had no plans to run for office again.
It has been nearly a year since Andrew Cuomo, 40, Mario's eldest son and heir apparent, became Secretary of Housing and Urban Development -- the youngest ever -- and began aggressively shaking up the troubled agency to help rebuild its battered reputation.
And ever since, political pundits and power brokers have tracked his ascent like weather forecasters follow the path of a hurricane.
Will he go back to New York and run for the Senate in a Democratic primary against George Stephanopoulos? Is he shooting to become Vice President Al Gore's running mate on the ticket for 2000? Why did he make a political appearance in New Hampshire in October?
The questions are clearly a nod to a flourishing career, given his fast start as Housing Secretary, his close relationship with the Vice President and his marriage to Kerry Kennedy, a daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, joining two of America's most famous political families. Almost anybody who talks about Andrew Cuomo wond...
But the focus on his political ambition enrages Mr. Cuomo, who is intent on trading his image as a New York-style backroom wheeler-dealer -- one so well known in Washington that he was the inspiration for the character Jimmy Ozio in the political novel ''Primary Colors.'' Mr. Cuomo prefers a more dignified portrait as ...
Andrew Cuomo wants nothing more than for people to quit rehashing his past and predicting his future. He wants them to focus on the present, on accomplishments he can point to without dispute.
