Arrests

MLB star Jayson Werth got into it with a police officer during his DUI arrest back in April -- ultimately telling the cop he's not sure the officer had his best interests at heart.

Werth was pulled over in Scottsdale, AZ on April 17 for expired registration and, during the stop, the officer suspected he was drunk.

Werth tried to celebrity his way out of the arrest -- handing the cop an MLB "courtesy card" which shows he's a pro baseball player -- and told the cop, "We do a lot of work with you guys."

Didn't work.

When the cops tried to conduct a field sobriety test, Werth objected -- refusing to comply and telling the cop, "I'm just not sure I trust you."

The cop tried to explain that he was NOT misleading Werth and was only trying to do the right thing.

Werth replied, "A lot of people have gotten into a lot of trouble assuming that police officers have their best interests [at heart]."

That's when the cop broke out the handcuffs and arrested the baseball player.

As we previously reported, Werth was taken to a nearby station where he ultimately surrendered to a blood draw -- which showed he had a .12 BAC.

As Bill Cosby settles into life behind bars, the convicted comedian will undergo a rigorous evaluation to determine the extent of his sex offender treatment ... and it all hinges on how much of a danger he poses.

Cosby will go through a program called Responsible Living: A Sex Offender Treatment Program ... something all sex offenders must complete as part of their sentence.

There are seven phases ...

-- Phase 1: Responsibility Taking

-- Phase 2: Behavioral Techniques

-- Phase 3: Emotional Well-Being

-- Phase 4: Victim Empathy

-- Phase 5: Anger Management

-- Phase 6: Sex Education

-- Phase 7: Relapse Prevention

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections, Cosby will go through an evaluation process to determine what category of risk he falls in and what sort of treatment is deemed fit in the state sex offender program.

The FBI is now involved in investigating possible police corruption in connection with Stormy Daniel's arrest at a Columbus, Ohio strip club.

As we reported, Stormy was arrested in July while she was performing at Sirens strip club after several patrons made physical contact with her. It appeared the vice cops were lying in wait for Stormy.

Fact is ... there was no basis to arrest Stormy because the law under which she was arrested did NOT apply to her since she was not a regular performer at the club. The police chief apologized and launched an internal affairs investigation.

What we're told ... some of the officers were pro-Trump and it looked like a personal vendetta.

Well, now the FBI's Public Corruption Task Force has been called in at the request of the police chief.

The task force includes the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.

Michael Darby's facing charges for allegedly grabbing a 'Real Housewives of Potomac' cameraman's butt, but at least one judge believes that's not enough to keep him away from the crew member.

Ashley Darby's husband was facing a restraining order on top of criminal charges for sexual assault, but for now it's been denied because the cameraman couldn't meet the required burden of proof ... according to new legal docs.

We broke the story ... Orville Palmer claims Darby groped him on Sept. 1 while he was filming an episode of the show and then gave him "a flirtatious look." The 'Housewives' star's been charged with felony assault and misdemeanor improper sexual contact. He's also been suspended from the show by Bravo.

According to the new docs ... the incident went down at the home of fellow 'RHOP' stars Chris and Monique Samuels. Palmer also claims Darby kicked him in the lower buttocks a couple weeks earlier.

Palmer obtained a temporary restraining order against Darby, but it expired Thursday ... and the judge rejected his request for a permanent one.

Actor Steven Grayhm's home was surrounded by cops when a maniac on the run ended up on his roof ... and TMZ has video of the crazy incident and arrest.

Grayhm -- known for his roles on the Netflix show "Between" and the movie "White Chicks" -- tells us he was awakened early Tuesday by his dog barking and knew something dangerous was going down ... which he confirmed when he saw cops with guns drawn at the front of his house.

Next thing he knew, the suspect smashed the bedroom window with a shovel in an attempt to get in his house, so he got his wife and dog and fled to safety with the cops out front.

Check it out ... instead of going in, Steven says the guy scaled his home like Spider-Man to get on the roof, where he's seen chucking the shovel like a javelin and shouting threats. Thankfully, he was eventually brought down and arrested before anyone got hurt.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... the man was fleeing police when he came upon Grayhm's home and tried to get in. After he was arrested, he was placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold because he was deemed a threat to himself and others.

Grayhm believes the man is a transient who was on heavy drugs. He says the guy damaged his wife's car, destroyed their backyard, skylights and AC piping on the roof, and all in all ... did more than $5k worth of damage.

BTW ... here's Steven in "White Chicks."

Michael Darby is no longer filming with "The Real Housewives of Potomac" -- he's been suspended from doing so in the wake of being charged for sexual assault.

According to Bravo and the show's production company, Truly Original ... they've stopped shooting scenes with Ashley Darby's husband following the allegation he groped a cameraman.

Bravo says it has "comprehensive policies and guidelines relating to the safety of cast and crew. We take all allegations seriously and then proceed accordingly with our producing partners."

We broke the story ... 'RHOP' cameraman Orville Palmer claims his butt was grabbed and groped by Darby on Sept. 1 while shooting an episode, and Darby followed it up by giving him "a flirtatious look."

Darby's been charged with felony assault as well as misdemeanor improper sexual contact.

It's ironic ... the day 'Carter V' was released, we've confirmed Birdman is under investigation for allegedly plotting to shoot up Lil Wayne's tour bus.

The Cobb County, GA D.A. tells TMZ they are indeed investigating the man who calls Wayne his son.

We're told Young Thug is also being investigated in connection with the shooting.

TMZ broke the story ... Wayne's tour bus took on gunfire in Atlanta back in 2015, after Wayne performed at a nightclub.

The shooting went down just minutes after the bus pulled away from the club.

No one was injured, but not for lack of trying.

Adam Levine is driving ladies wild north of the border ... 'cause one fan snuck onstage and tailed the Maroon 5 singer before getting arrested!

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the 22-year-old woman was busted for public mischief and released without bail.

You gotta watch the vid ... it's an unreal scene inside Scotiabank Arena in Toronto Thursday night during Maroon 5's concert.

You see the woman (white jacket, black pants) dancing onstage in front of the band before sliding past a guitarist and hauling ass down a runway toward Adam ... showing everyone she's got moves like Jagger.

Bill Cosby's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame isn't going away despite his sexual assault conviction ... but that doesn't mean it's safe from vandals.

Somebody took what looks like a permanent marker to add their own branding to the disgraced comedian's star -- adding the words "SERIAL RAPIST." and "#METOO."

As we reported ... the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce says Cosby's star will stay put on the famous Walk of Fame ... even after he was sentenced to 3 to 10 years in prison and deemed a "sexually violent predator."

His star had already been defaced once earlier this week with the words "SERIAL RAPIST" ... but it was quickly removed. It's unclear how long the latest graffiti will remain.

Nelly has mutually settled with the woman who claimed he raped her on a tour bus ... TMZ has learned.

The woman, Monique Greene, claimed last October she was at a club in Seattle where Nelly had performed. She says after the show she was drinking and hanging out with Nelly, who invited her on his tour bus.

She claims once on the bus he assaulted her and had both oral and vaginal sex against her will.

Afterward, Greene says she screamed she wanted off the bus and she was thrown off as Nelly threw a $100 bill at her and said, "Bye Bye."

Nelly countersued, claiming the sex was consensual and she defamed him.

We broke the story ... Nelly was arrested for rape while on tour with Florida Georgia Line. Prosecutors dropped the case after Greene refused to cooperate.

A lawyer for Nelly says both parties agreed to dismiss their cases and no money changed hands.

O.J. Simpson is concerned Bill Cosby will be attacked by some "nut" in prison -- and he would know, right?

Juice spent 9 years behind bars in Nevada for kidnapping and armed robbery and warns that people like Cosby -- convicted sex offenders -- don't do well behind bars.

"The problem is the nature of the crime," O.J. said while golfing out in Nevada ... "Rapists are frowned upon in prison."

"I'm sure there will be guys protecting him but they're gonna have to put him in protective custody ... because it takes one nut, ya know?"

81-year-old Cosby was convicted of 3 counts of aggravated indecent assault -- stemming from a 2004 incident in which officials say he drugged Andrea Constand at his Pennsylvania home and molested her.

He's been sentenced to 3 to 10 years in state prison.

But, Simpson thinks the punishment is too severe -- and he's calling for mercy.

Bill Cosby is now at the prison he will call home for 3 to 10 years.

Cosby's official inmate number is NN7687. He was moved Tuesday after his sentencing to the Pennsylvania State Correctional Institution Phoenix in Schwenksville, PA.

It's significant ... prison is a maximum security facility, meaning it houses some of the most violent offenders in the state. The prison is fairly new and has 3,830 beds.

The judge deemed Cosby a "sexually violent predator" ... which apparently was the trigger for the choice of prison.

Cosby will be housed in a single cell next to the infirmary ... possibly because of his medical problems. He's allowed phone calls and visitation consistent with prison policies.

A prison official says, "We are taking all of the necessary precautions to ensure Mr. Cosby's safety and general welfare in our institution." The official says the long-term goal is for Cosby to go into the general population.

The disgraced comedian spent a few hours at the county jail before being transferred to the prison facility.

If Cosby serves the full 10-year sentence, he will be 91 when he is released.

Philadelphia Flyers forward Jori Lehtera is DENYING any involvement with a suspected Finnish coke ring -- after authorities raided a cottage he owns in his home country.

Details are sketchy at this point, but Finnish news outlets say 7 people have already been locked up in connection to the suspected drug ring.

Local news outlets are saying cops are focusing on 2 kilos of cocaine (worth about $25k each). Unclear if they found the load during the raids or if that's what they suspect is being distributed.

Officials have reportedly seized more than $700,000 in jewelry and other valuables and have more than 23 persons of interest in the case.

30-year-old Jori was not at the cottage when it was raided over the summer. No charges have been filed against him and he's reportedly denied all wrongdoing.

Jori is a decent NHL player. He's in the middle of a 3-year, $14.1 million contract.

Bill Cosby's got a lot to think about while he's behind bars ... like figuring out how to pay his ex-lawyers who just reminded the disgraced comedian he owes them hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Cosby's former law firm -- Schnader Harrison Segal & Lewis -- has filed new legal docs obtained by TMZ outlining exactly how much the 81-year-old is on the hook for ... $282,948.40 in unpaid legal bills.

We broke the story ... the law firm sued Cosby earlier this month but the details were scant. The firm now says Cosby owes them for work from August 2017 through August 2018.

Cosby would later go on to hire Michael Jackson's lawyer, Tom Mesereau, but that fizzled too.

Making matters worse ... Cosby -- who was sentenced to at least 3 years behind bars -- was also fined $25k in his sexual assault case plus the costs of the prosecution team.

"America's Got Talent" finalist Michael Ketterer will not be charged after getting arrested last week for domestic violence ... TMZ has learned.

The L.A. City Attorney's Office tells us it's declined to file charges against Ketterer, and has instead opted to hold a City Attorney hearing for the 'AGT' singer. The hearing is often used as an alternative to criminal prosecution for low-level crimes.

We're told the Office looked at the evidence in Ketterer's case, and decided a hearing would be the best route. During the hearing, Ketterer will receive counseling on domestic violence, violence prevention and warned of the consequences for any repeat violations. It's essentially a stern talking-to.

TMZ broke the story ... Ketterer was put in cuffs last Thursday in Hollywood after cops were called to a hotel where he and his wife were staying. When officers arrived, they saw a visible red mark on Ketterer's wife, and arrested him for felony domestic violence.

Our law enforcement sources tell us cops had to book Ketterer for felony DV due to the mark, but the charge was being reduced to a misdemeanor because the injury was minor.

Niecy Nash says it's great Bill Cosby finally got what he deserved, and there are some lessons to be learned from his case ... lessons she thinks apply to President Trump and Brett Kavanaugh.

We got Niecy at LAX and got her take on Cosby's 3-10 year prison sentence. She applauded the justice system for doing right by Cosby's victims, and added she also believes the women who've accused the Supreme Court nominee and Trump.

Niecy wants them held to the same legal standard as Cosby, and if they're not ... she suggests it would be a blatant case of racism.
