According to the Ridgeland Police Department, Walter Lafler and Arthur J. Fraleigh were involved in a child custody dispute at Sailfish Circle in which Saul Cisneros-Hernandez was reportedly assaulted.
When police arrived at 125 Sailfish Circle on July 16, Hernandez was found lying on the ground with lacerations to his face and right arm. Hernandez told police he had been attacked by Fraleigh and Lafler.
According to police, Lafler is Cisnero's-Hernandez's brother-in-law. Officials said Lafler intervened in a domestic dispute between his sister and the victim over a child-custody issue. Police said Lafler assaulted Cisneros-Hernandez in his front yard.
While Lafler was helping his sister with her kids, Fraleigh also got involved and attacked Cisneros-Hernandez.
Lafler turned himself in to police, but Fraleigh has yet to come forward. Police signed an arrest warrant for Fraleigh, who already had an outstanding assault warrant stemming from an incident Jan. 17.
Lafler was charged with third-degree assault and battery. He was released from the Jasper County Detention Center after posting $1,092 bail.
Lafler is scheduled for a hearing at the Criminal/Traffic Court in Ridgeland on Monday.
Ridgeland Police officers were back at Sailfish Circle last Wednesday when they received a complaint about a man who was attempting to gain entrance without permission and was allegedly throwing items. Police called the incident a domestic dispute, and issued a trespass notice against Cisneros-Hernandez. No charges were filed.
�Ridgeland Police responded to a collision on Interstate 95 North on July 16 in which a vehicle struck a large grill that fell from the bed of a truck just ahead. Officers arrested Ernesto Gutierrez, who was transporting the grill in the back of a Chevy Silverado pickup.
Gutierrez was operating the truck without a driver's license.
No injuries were reported. Gutierrez, who is out of jail on $237 bail, has a court hearing Monday.
Move taken by Bangladesh authorities to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply for the 2014 cricket tournament.
Authorities in Bangladesh asked fertiliser factories to halt production in a bid to divert gas supply to power plants and ensure an uninterrupted electricity supply ahead of the 2014 World Twenty20.
The World T20 will feature 16 teams and starts on March 16 with the final on April 6.
"We have no other options but to shut down fertiliser factories for some time to ensure gas supply to power plants," Mohammad Hussain Monsur, chairman of the state-owned Oil, Gas and Mineral Corporation, said.
"Today we have asked all seven, except one, fertiliser factories to close down for a month."
Chronic power shortages often stir public anger and trigger violent protests. Fans have previously gone on the rampage, attacking electricity supply centres, when blackouts have hit coverage of games.
TORONTO (Reuters) - Crew members of two Canadian fishing vessels were approached by the United States border patrol in Canadian waters in the Gulf of Maine in late June, according to the Canadian government, which is investigating the matter.
“Canada continues to investigate these incidents that occurred in Canadian waters, including through engaging with U.S. agencies involved in the matter,” John Babcock, a spokesman for Global Affairs Canada said on Wednesday.
Babcock said the incidents occurred on June 24 and June 25 near Machias Seal Island.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. embassy in Ottawa were not available for comment due to the Independence Day holiday in the United States.
The association declined to comment on the matter.
“Canada’s sovereignty over the Machias Seal Island and the surrounding waters is long standing and has a strong foundation in international law,” Babcock said.
The Kentucky doctor who was forcibly dragged off a United flight in 2017 so his seat could be used by an airline employee said Tuesday that while the ordeal pained him and his family, he is glad it forced the airline to re-evaluate its policies.
David Dao, of Elizabethtown, spoke publicly about the ordeal, which garnered international attention, for the first time ever on Tuesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"Everything happens with a reason," Dao said, adding he was not angry with the Chicago Department of Aviation officers who pulled him from the plane.
"They have a job to do," he said. "They had to do it."
Dao, who suffered a broken nose and concussion and lost two two teeth in the incident, said he was finally speaking publicly to thank supporters outraged by what happened.
He said the first few months after the incident were "horrible" and he spent months learning to walk again.
A spokeswoman for the law firm that represented Dao in a civil case against the airline told the Courier Journal he was unavailable for further comment.
Dao's ordeal began April 9, 2017, as he was trying to fly to Louisville from Chicago O'Hare International Airport with his wife. The airline asked the couple and two other passengers to leave the plane to make way for United employees who needed to fly.
Dao, 69 years old at the time, refused to give up his seat and was forcibly pulled off the plane.
Videos taken by other passengers showed Dao's face bloodied and his glasses broken as he was dragged down the aisle, resulting in outrage and international scrutiny at how United handled the situation.

Dao said Tuesday that he found the videos hard to watch in the months after the incident. "I just cried," he said.
United reached a settlement with Dao for an undisclosed amount. The airline also instituted new rules, including never removing boarded passengers unless for safety or security concerns.
Dao said he refused to leave the plane because he needed to get back to Kentucky to oversee the opening of a clinic he founded for U.S. veterans.
He started the clinic with his wife as a way to thank American servicemen and women, he said, mentioning he was plucked from the ocean by the U.S. Navy as he fled communism in Vietnam about 44 years ago.
United CEO Oscar Munoz initially characterized Dao as "disruptive and belligerent." But following a public backlash, he apologized to the doctor and promised a similar incident would never happen again.
In a statement to ABC News, United said the changes it has made since the incident "better serve our customers and further empower our employees."
"This year, we are focused more than ever on our commitment to our customers, looking at every aspect of our business to ensure that we keep their best interests at the center of everything that we do," United said in the statement. "As our CEO Oscar Munoz has said, we at United never want anyone in the United family to forget the experience of Flight 3411. It makes us a better airline, a more caring company and a stronger team."
Dao said on "Good Morning America" that he does not remember anything after bumping his head during the altercation but that he later woke up in the hospital with a trauma team surrounding him.
Dao, now retired, said he still has sleep issues and trouble with his concentration and balance. While he had run more than 20 marathons before the incident, Dao said he now can only run about 3 miles.
Dao said the United employees who asked him to leave the plane could have explained why he was being bumped from the flight "nicely" and "reasonably."
"That makes a difference," he said.
The Chicago Department of Aviation later fired two officers involved in the incident, with a third officer resigning.
One of the fired officers sued United, Chicago's Department of Aviation and its commissioner in April 2018, alleging he was not properly trained on how to use force.
That same month, nearly 300 Chicago Aviation Police officers filed a lawsuit after the city of Chicago and state of Illinois ended their law enforcement authority at airports.
On Tuesday, Dao shared how he made a promise to God to devote his time to charity work if he recovered. Since his recovery, Dao said he helped residents in Texas displaced by Hurricane Harvey and traveled to Vietnam and Cambodia to help install solar power in villages with no electricity.
"Well, the most important thing is the accident turned out the positive way," Dao said.

The “trusted” sources Christopher Steele said he used in composing the Trump “dossier” have become a lot less reliable since the ex-British spy was called to defend himself in a libel lawsuit.
Congressional Republicans are now “demanding that the FBI explain how the deeply contested, Democrat-financed document took on such importance in a major government investigation,” Rowan Scarborough wrote in a Dec. 20 report for The Washington Times.
Steele had “bragged to Mother Jones magazine that he started the Mueller investigation by convincing FBI agents about the credibility of his dossier,” Scarborough wrote.
In the dossier, Steele stated that an “extensive conspiracy between Trump’s campaign team and the Kremlin” existed.
One memo in the dossier also claimed that the Kremlin had compiled enough financial and personal information on Trump that it could blackmail the Republican nominee.
Steele wrote that Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign manager, and a campaign volunteer, Carter Page, orchestrated the campaign with Moscow to meddle in the 2016 election. He also maintained that Michael Cohen, Trump’s attorney, traveled to Prague in August 2016 to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s personal staff and orchestrate a cover-up of the campaign’s hacking conspiracy.
“All of those charges have been denied, and none has been confirmed publicly by a press leak or congressional inquiry,” Scarborough noted.
Steele has accused Gubarev of being pressured by Russian’s FSB intelligence service to take part in hacking against the Democratic Party.
A question from Gubarev’s legal team asked about the lengths Steele took to brief American reporters during the 2016 campaign.
At the request of Fusion GPS, the investigative firm hired by Democrats to handle and pay Steele, the former spy said he briefed The New York Times, The Washington Post, Yahoo News, The New Yorker and CNN in person. He later briefed Mother Jones magazine via Skype.
Steele said he told journalists that they may not quote his research. He “understood that the information provided might be used for the purpose of further research, but would not be published or attributed,” Steele said through his attorney.
Steele also acknowledged that his final December memo, the only one that dealt with Gubarev, contained information he never vetted.
“The contents of the December memorandum did not represent (and did not purport to represent) verified facts, but were raw intelligence which had identified a range of allegations that warranted investigation given their potential national security implications,” he wrote.
BuzzFeed posted the complete Steele dossier on Jan. 10. Gubarev is suing the online news site for libel in federal court in Florida and wants to know who supplied the dossier to BuzzFeed.
Has Chris Stapleton Cracked the Code?
Country music star Chris Stapleton wrote hit songs for others for nearly fifteen years before winning the industry’s top awards in 2015 and 2016 for his debut album, Traveller.
He grew up in Kentucky and moved to Nashville in 2001, where he got a job right away as a songwriter. He spent the next several years writing songs for other artists, trying a solo career and playing bluegrass. From 2008 to 2010, Stapleton played with The SteelDrivers, whose first two albums brought three Grammy nominations. His solo album, Traveller (2015), had a decent start, but his career as a performer didn’t really take off until he performed with Justin Timberlake at the 2015 Country Music Awards show. People took a second look, and Stapleton’s record shot up the charts. By 2016, Stapleton was touted as the best undetected country star around, and new fans discovered his soulful, gravelly voice and traditionally Nashville songs. He was nominated for four Grammys and won two. At the 2016 awards for the Academy of Country Music, he won six trophies, including male vocalist and album of the year.
Songs Stapleton has written for other country music stars include “Drink A Beer” by Luke Ryan; “Never Wanted Nothing More” by Kenny Chesney; “Love’s Gonna Make It Alright” by George Strait; and “If It Hadn’t Been For Love” by Adele.
Morning weather forecast (October 16, 2015) for the St. Cloud, Minnesota area.
Central Minnesota residents can expect to wake up to Saturday morning temperatures below freezing.

According to the National Weather Service, temperatures in St. Cloud will hover right around 24 degrees overnight. A freeze warning has been issued from 10 p.m. Friday night through 9 a.m. Saturday.
Weisman said this will be the first time temperatures in St. Cloud have dipped into the 20s since April 27.
Friday night will be the second night in a row that temperatures in the St. Cloud area dropped below freezing. Thursday night into Friday morning saw temperatures reach a low of 30 degrees. Wind chills in Central Minnesota Friday morning made the temperature feel like it was in the 20s over most of the area.
The weather service forecast for Saturday is sunny with a high of 52 degrees.
The new batch of celebs who'll be living in the 'Big Brother' house for another season of drama are filling with one thing in common -- starting salaries ... TMZ has learned.
Sources familiar with the contacts for all 12 stars in season 2 of "Celebrity Big Brother" tell us each of them will rake in $100k ... just for entering the house. The winner can walk away with an additional $250k.
In other words, Anthony Scaramucci isn't more important than Dina Lohan this year ... at least not from the jump, money-wise.
Our production sources also tell us the houseguests had been sequestered in separate hotel rooms for 4 days prior to entering the house Wednesday. We're told CBS brass didn't want anyone in the cast knowing who else was set to appear until the premiere.
Other celebs set to appear on 'CBB' include Natalie Eva Marie, Ryan Lochte, Joey Lawrence, Kato Kaelin, Lolo Jones, Tom Green, Kandi Burruss, Tamar Braxton, Jonathan Bennett and Ricky Williams.
Side note ... the American version of 'CBB' doesn't pay nearly as much as its U.K. counterpart. Just look at what Speidi made, not to mention Ray J. Big difference.
The City of London will be inspecting Springbank Dam’s three working gates over the next two weeks as lawyers prepare to debate who’s responsible for damage that has rendered the structure inoperable since upgrades went awry in 2008.
Around $ 7 million in upgrades, including the installation of the steel gates that would make the dam easier to operate, were nearly complete in 2008 when one of the four gates was dislocated during testing. The Thames River has been flowing unimpeded through the dam ever since.
Copeland said equipment is being set up this week in hopes that testing can begin July 13 and finished by the end of that week. He said he doesn’t expect the work to impact water levels.
Who’s to blame in the 2008 incident that damaged the dam isn’t the only contentious issue surrounding the structure.
Over the past nine years since the dam was last operational, observers say the health of the Thames River has been improving without the impediment. The Thames River Anglers Association is circulating a petition to have the dam decommissioned and has so far collected thousands of signatures.
But others, including rowers who have been forced off the Thames and officials interested in making recreation a key part of the river’s revitalization, are eager to have the dam operating again as soon as possible.
Rugby World Cup winner Sir Clive Woodward is looking increasingly likely to play a part in the controversial review into England's woeful performance in the 2015 tournament.
There has been uproar throughout the game at the insular make-up of the five-strong RFU panel – Ian Ritchie, Ian Metcalfe, Ian Watmore , Sir Ian McGeechan and Ben Kay - that will decide the future of England head coach Stuart Lancaster and his assistants.
Such is the upset at what's regarded as a group set up to deliver a whitewash job – certainly in safeguarding the RFU high command if not the doomed Lancaster – that some RFU councillors are already agitating for another review of the review.
Woodward, the people's favourite, not being chosen as one of RFU chief executive Ritchie's handpicked group despite masterminding England's only World Cup triumph has been the cause of much disbelief throughout the sport.
But it now seems that Woodward will be given the opportunity to present his views to Ritchie on where England went so badly wrong.
For the new U2 record, No Line On The Horizon (due March 3rd), Bono had a spiritual quest, says producer Daniel Lanois. “He thought that our job was to create contemporary gospel music,” Lanois, who shares production credit on the album with Brian Eno, told Rock Daily at a Grammy Foundation event honoring music photographers Danny Clinch, Robert Knight and Herman Leonard. “Bono wanted to be at a spiritual Mecca.” Which, for the band, meant an extended stay in Fez, Morocco (their second visit to the country — U2’s 1991 video for “Mysterious Ways” was also filmed there). So did he find what he was looking for?
Babies whose mothers smoked during pregnancy were more than twice as likely to have a cleft palate or lip as those whose mothers didn't, according to research results released today.
Although the study confirms earlier findings, it is unique because it did not rely on women's self-reported smoking habits during pregnancy. Instead, researchers used the more reliable method of measuring the levels of cotinine, a metabolite of nicotine, in the blood from about 500 pregnant women.
"This research is the first time we've been able to measure something - in this case cotinine - and determine the risk of smoking during pregnancy for oral-facial birth defects," Gary M. Shaw, PhD, research director and senior epidemiologist of the March of Dimes California Research Division, Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute in Oakland, Calif.
Nearly 7,000 babies are born annually with an oral-facial cleft in the United States. Children with oral clefts often have difficulty feeding, frequent ear infections, hearing loss, speech difficulties, and dental problems. Surgery often can repair these birth defects, which typically occur by the seventh week of pregnancy.
"The message to women is simple and clear: Don't smoke during pregnancy or even if you are considering becoming pregnant," said Dr. Jennifer L. Howse, president of the March of Dimes.
"This research supports our 2008 Petition for Preemies, which calls on federal and state officials to include smoking cessation programs as part of maternity care. If we can help mothers quit smoking, we can help give more babies a healthy start in life," Dr. Howse continued.
