The 18-year-old girl who went missing from Arizona in 2019 & re-emerged in Montana this week allegedly fought with the man she was living with & threatened to “go back” — just 1 day before she turned herself in at a police station.

Neighbors told The Post they heard a holed-up Alicia Navarro Saturday shouting with an unidentified man inside their apartment building in Havre.

“I was here the other day and I heard them yelling. She did say, ‘I will go back.’ But that’s all I heard,” neighbor Garrett Smith said.

Navarro sauntered into a local police precinct the following day to request that she be taken off the missing person’s list so she could get a driver’s license & could begin living a “normal life.”

She had been missing since police said she “willfully left her home” in Glendale, Arizona home in 2019.

It’s not clear how long Navarro has been living in the Havre apartment, but Smith said she & a man in his 20s have been residents since he moved in about a year ago.

He said that the teenager appeared scared, had a “scratchy voice” & had noticeably insufficient dental hygiene.

Police said Friday that a man was detained & questioned in connection to Navarro’s disappearance, though it is unclear whether it was the same individual she had shared the Havre apartment with.

Navarro fled her family home just days before her 15th birthday, leaving behind a note that read: “I ran away. I will be back. I swear. I’m sorry.”

A missing person report from years prior described Navarro as autistic but high-functioning.

Navarro is still being considered a victim, police previously said.

Navarro told police she was not being held against her will & could come & go freely, and said she had not been hurt. Police have said she does not face criminal charges.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — A Mexican woman who strangled a man to death while defending herself when he attacked & raped her in 2021 was sentenced to more than 6 years in prison.

The ruling against Roxana Ruiz spurred anger from experts & feminist groups who said it speaks to the depth of gender-based violence & Mexico’s poor record of bringing perpetrators of sexual violence to justice.

While the Mexico State court found Monday that Ruiz had been raped, it said the 23-year-old was guilty of homicide with “excessive use of legitimate defense,” adding that hitting the man in the head would have been enough to defend herself. Ruiz was also ordered to pay more than $16,000 in reparations to the family of the man who raped her.

In May 2021, Ruiz was working selling french fries in Nezahualcoyotl, one of the 11 municipalities in the Mexico State with an ongoing gender alert for femicides & another one for forced disappearances of women.

While having a beer with a friend, Ruiz, a Indigenous Mixteca woman & a single mother from the state of Oaxaca, met a man she had seen around the neighborhood. After hanging out, he offered to walk her home & later asked to stay the night because it was late & he was far from home.

Ruiz agreed to let him sleep on a mattress on the floor. But while she slept he climbed onto her bed, hit her, tore off her clothes & raped her, according to Ruiz’s legal defense. Ruiz fought back, hitting him in the nose.

He threatened to kill her & in the struggle that followed, Ruiz grabbed a T-shirt & used it to strangle her attacker.

In a panic, Ruiz put the man’s body in a bag & dragged it out to the street where passing police arrested her.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A retired New York Police Department officer was sentenced on Thursday to a record-setting 10 years in prison for attacking the U.S. Capitol & using a metal flagpole to assault 1 of the police officers trying to hold off a mob of Donald Trump supporters.

Thomas Webster’s prison sentence is the longest so far among roughly 250 people who have been punished for their conduct during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021. The previous longest was shared by 2 other rioters, who were sentenced separately to 7 years & 3 months in prison.

Webster, a 20-year NYPD veteran, was the first Capitol riot defendant to be tried on an assault charge & the first to present a self-defense argument. A jury rejected Webster’s claim that he was defending himself when he tackled Metropolitan Police Department officer Noah Rathbun & grabbed his gas mask outside the Capitol on Jan. 6.

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced Webster, 56, to 10 years in prison plus three years of supervised release. He allowed Webster to report to prison at a date to be determined instead of immediately ordering him into custody.

“Mr. Webster, I don’t think you’re a bad person,” the judge said. “I think you were caught up in a moment. But as you know, even getting caught up in a moment has consequences.”

“The other victim was democracy, and that is not something that can be taken lightly,” Mehta added.

NEW YORK (AP) — Disgraced R&B superstar R. Kelly was sentenced Wednesday to 30 years in prison for using his fame to sexually abuse young fans, including some who were just children, in a systematic scheme that went on for decades.

Through tears & anger, several of Kelly’s accusers told a court, and the singer himself, that he had preyed on them & misled his fans.

“You made me do things that broke my spirit. I literally wished I would die because of how low you made me feel,” said one unnamed survivor, directly addressing a Kelly.

“Do you remember that?” she asked.

Kelly, 55, didn’t speak at his sentencing & showed no visible reaction on hearing his penalty, which also includes a $100,000 fine. The Grammy-winning, multi-platinum-selling songwriter was convicted last year of racketeering & sex trafficking at a trial that gave voice to accusers who had previously wondered if their stories were being ignored because they were Black women.

Victims “have sought to be heard & acknowledged,” another one of his accusers said at his sentencing. “We are no longer the preyed-on individuals we once were.”

A third woman, sobbing & sniffling as she spoke, said Kelly’s conviction renewed her confidence in the legal system.

“I once lost hope,” she said, addressing the court & prosecutors, “but you restored my faith.”

The woman said Kelly victimized her after she went to a concert when she was 17.

A man pardoned by Kentucky’s former governor for a 2014 drug robbery killing will return to prison to serve a 42-year federal sentence for the same crime.

Patrick Baker was convicted of murder committed during a drug trafficking crime last year in a federal trial. He had been out of prison since 2019 when former Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin pardoned him for the slaying of Donald Mills.

But media reports that Baker’s family had political connections to Bevin & hosted a fundraiser for the former Republican governor put a spotlight on the case. Federal authorities brought new charges against Baker for the killing in May & he was convicted in August.

At a hearing Tuesday in U.S. District Court in London, Baker, 43, was sentenced to 42 years in prison, but he was credited for 30 months served on the previous conviction. He was facing a maximum of life in prison. “Baker was convicted of a brazen act of violence — one that resulted in a murder, committed while the victim’s family was nearby,” Carlton Shier, U.S. Attorney for the Kentucky’s eastern district, said in a news release Tuesday night. Shier said law enforcement & the trial team’s “faithful efforts were critical to the verdict, conviction & sentence.”

Baker was convicted of killing Mills, a drug dealer in Knox County, while trying to rob Mills of cash & pain pills. Baker posed as a U.S. Marshal during the crime. Mills’ pregnant wife & children were held at gunpoint while Baker ransacked the home for oxycodone pills.

Attorneys for Baker had asked the judge ahead of the hearing to limit Baker’s sentence to a maximum of 19 years, which would have matched the punishment that was wiped away by Bevin’s pardon. U.S. District Judge Claria Horn Boom denied that request.

Federal prosecutors said Baker was prosecuted the second time under the “dual sovereignty doctrine,” which allows state & federal officials to prosecute the same defendant for the same actions without infringing on double jeopardy protections.

ORLANDO, Fla. – A known Orlando-area gang member was sentenced to more than seven years in a federal prison after pleading guilty to three weapons charges earlier this year.

Jacquavius Smith, known in rap music circles as Glokk9 or 9lokknin, was arrested last year for possessing a gun as a convicted felon.

An Orange County judge deemed him a danger to society and denied him bond.

In February, Smith was indicted on federal firearms charges.

He pleaded guilty to three counts in July, including possession of an unregistered firearm, using another person’s identity and committing a crime while on pretrial release.

According to court documents, Smith will serve 87 months in a federal prison, three years of supervised release and drug treatment.

He was also ordered to pay $10,416 in restitution.

Smith still faces racketeering charges in state court, where his trial is slated to begin in March 2022.

He also faces charges of attempted second-degree murder.

Investigators allege the rapper fired a gun into an Orlando home in July. A woman told detectives she was inside with her children at the time. No one was injured. Investigators said that Smith was targeting another rapper, with a witness telling detectives, “9IokkNine wants to be the only rapper coming from Orlando.”

Several months after the shooting, Orange County deputies said Smith was the target of a shooting between a rival gang outside the food court at the Mall at Millenia on Oct. 8, 2020.

Returning with their second collaborative project within the past six months Harlem, NY heavyweight G4Jag has cooked up again with Mephux on the beats. The resulting full-length entitled Regressions, boasts contributions from their fellow Lord Mobb brethren Flee Lord, Eto, BVNG’s, Aaqil Ali, Mercy Da Harlem Kid and Trillmatic (from Trillmatic Premium Goods).

Combining G4’s highly introspective and relatable to the have-not’s lyrical narratives over dusted jazz, soul and even samples from Russian sound-sources, it’s that head-nod music for the spirit. Another guest on the album is Mephux’s mother, Olga, who spits some flavor in Russian on the aforementioned joint built with Soviet samples.

Speaking on the album title, the emcee relayed “our last EP was Progression, which was dropped on 9-11 (I always drop a project on that date, I was two blocks away from the Towers when the planes hit, so it’s a form of reverence on my part). This release, Regressions addresses the steps we need for balance, including me as a man, a black-man, a father and as a human.

Kellen Winslow II, a former NFL star tight end, was sentenced to 14 years in prison on Wednesday as part of a plea deal for a multitude of sexual offenses against five women in Southern California.

The 14-year sentence was the maximum allowed under the agreement. Winslow was convicted of forcible rape, rape of an unconscious person, assault with intent to commit rape, indecent exposure, and lewd conduct in public. One of the women was homeless.

Winslow, 37, appeared via video conference at San Diego Superior Court in Vista and declined to give a statement saying his lawyers advised him not to speak.

"In the future, I do plan to tell my story," he said.

San Diego County Superior Court Judge Blaine Bowman called Winslow a "sexual predator" who preyed on women who were especially vulnerable.

"The vulnerability of the victims was no accident. It was the type of victim that you sought out yourself because you felt that perhaps they wouldn’t report the crime" or "wouldn't be deemed credible by the jurors," Bowman said.

Four women gave statements and described the suffering afterward.

"It's affecting my life every day and every night," one woman said. "I don’t ever feel safe inside or outside. You brought so much damage to my life."

Winslow’s attorneys said their client, the son of Hall of Fame tight end Kellen Winslow, suffers from a traumatic brain injury from his football playing and a motorcycle accident that ended his career.

Winslow was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in 2004 and during his career also played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, New York Jets and New England Patriots.

Formerly one of the highest-paid players at his position who last played in the NFL in 2013, Winslow was found guilty of raping a homeless woman in Encinitas. Jurors also convicted him of two misdemeanors -- indecent exposure and a lewd act in public -- involving two other women. That jury failed to agree on other charges, including the alleged rape of the hitchhiker and the rape of the unconscious 17-year-old girl in 2003 when he was 19.

Although Chadwick Boseman knew for years he had terminal cancer, we now know he died without writing a will, but he made a key move months before his death to financially protect his wife.

The "Black Panther" star's widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, has filed probate docs, obtained by TMZ, in which she asks to be named administrator of Chadwick's estate. Taylor has to file the docs in probate court because he did not leave a will.

That seems odd considering Chadwick was diagnosed with colon cancer 4 years ago, and knew it was terminal. However, that also puts his marriage to Taylor, who he reportedly dated since 2015, in a new light ... and here's why.

They got engaged in late 2019, and reportedly tied the knot at some point in 2020. That's important because when a person dies without a will and without children, their surviving spouse inherits all the assets of the probate estate.

According to the docs, Taylor gets nearly $1 million in personal property and assets, but that's not a true reflection of Chadwick's wealth and success. Most likely the majority of his assets are held in separate private trusts.

In the docs, Taylor notes Chadwick is also survived by his 2 parents.

As you know, he was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and it progressed to stage IV as he silently battled through it. Chadwick died in his home surrounded by his wife and family.

Were Michael Jordan's rookie teammates part of a "Traveling Cocaine Circus"???

The NBA's G.O.A.T. didn't exactly deny that ... confirming during his 1984-85 rookie year -- he caught his Chicago teammates having a party with blow, weed and women out in Peoria, Ill.

"I walk in, and practically the whole team is in there," Jordan said as part of one of his sit-down interviews for ESPN's "The Last Dance" documentary.

"It was things I had never seen in my life as a young kid. You got your lines over here, you got your weed smokers over here, you got your women over here.”

Jordan -- who had spent the previous three years at the University of North Carolina -- says the incident caused him to be an immediate loner on his new team.

"The first thing I said is, 'I'm out,'" Jordan said. "Because all I can think about is if they come raid this place right now, I am just as guilty as everyone else in this room. From that point on, I was more or less on my own."

Jordan's teammate at the time, Rod Higgins, confirmed MJ never partook in the partying that year ... saying the guy didn't even drink with his new NBA squadmates.

"Whatever somebody else might have been doing off the court, if it was partying or whatever, that wasn’t part of what he wanted to do,” Higgins said. "Orange juice and 7-Up was his go-to."

Turned out to be a pretty good move for Jordan ... he went on to change the culture of the Bulls and win SIX championships.

DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. (WSB-TV) -- Former DeKalb County Police Officer Robert "Chip" Olsen was sentenced on Friday to 20 years, with 12 to serve in prison for shooting and killing a naked, unarmed, mentally ill military veteran.

Last month, a jury convicted Robert Olsen in the death of Anthony Hill but found him not guilty of murder. On Friday, Olsen learned his sentence.

Judge LaTisha Dear Jackson imposed the sentence after an emotion-packed hearing that lasted more than three hours. Her decision brings to a close a case that has lingered for more than four years and has been watched closely as a test of police accountability.

Olsen's defense lawyers had asked that the ex-cop serve five years behind bars; prosecutors had sought 30 years, with 25 to serve and five on probation.

Olsen, 57, was acquitted last month on two charges of felony murder for shooting and killing Hill on March 9, 2015. But the ex-cop was convicted on four lesser charges: aggravated assault, making a false statement to a police officer, and two counts of violating his oath of office.

At Friday's hearing, Hill's mother spoke of how Olsen's decision to shoot had shattered her family.

"I know Mr. Olsen didn't wake up that day and say I'm going to shoot Anthony Hill. But his decision to use lethal force is why I do not have my son. My only son," Carolyn Guimmo told the judge.

DeKalb prosecutor Pete Johnson said Olsen must be face the consequences for shooting an unarmed, naked man in broad daylight and then lying about it.

"That's appalling," Johnson told the judge.

But defense lawyer Don Samuel argued that Olsen represents no ongoing threat to the community and urged the judge to resist efforts to use the case to a make broader statement about police conduct.

"Think about mercy, compassion, forgiveness," Samuel said.

Hill, 26, had stopped taking his meds and had stripped off his clothes when he encountered Olsen in the parking lot of the Heights Chamblee apartment complex. 

When Hill ran toward Olsen, ignoring his commands to stop, Olsen fired twice.

Olsen has maintained that he acted in self-defense.
