Trey Songz found himself in the middle of a physical altercation with a police officer during the KC Chiefs' game, & fans who witnessed it say the cop was way out of line.
We've obtained this video from Arrowhead Stadium Sunday, which -- at first -- shows Trey and the officer in a struggle. Trey connects a punch with the officer's head & gets him in a headlock, but then the officer pins Trey to a seat.
A witness tells us the whole thing started when Trey was being heckled by some fans a few rows behind him & he asked them to chill out. We're told the officer approached Trey & without warning, went after him. The witness says Trey was totally caught off guard when the officer got physical & started to defend himself.
You can hear fans throughout the video shout at the officer, telling him to get off Songz until additional officers arrived. Fans were yelling for the officer to be arrested.
Once backup got there, they were able to separate Trey & the cop ... & they put Trey in handcuffs.
A law enforcement source tells us ... Songz was arrested for trespassing, resisting arrest -- both misdemeanors -- & for assaulting a police officer ... a low-grade felony. We're told he's on a 24-hour hold & will likely be released Monday night.
(KTRK/CNN) -- A video captured the moment an Amazon delivery driver found a baby abandoned on the side of the road after an apparent carjacking in Texas.
As Houston police were responding to a call about a stolen car and kidnapping on Monday, a home surveillance video captured a man dumping a car seat on the side of the road about a mile away.
Amazon driver Juan Carlos Flores said he spotted the car seat and realized something was not right.
"When I saw that baby, I wanted to cry," Flores told KTRK-TV. “How could someone have the heart to leave a child on the side of the road?”
Flores went to the nearest neighbor to ask if someone who lived there left the baby outside. The homeowner, who asked to remain anonymous, did not know the infant but took the child inside and alerted police.
Flores returned to his route. When he saw officers nearby, he helped lead them to the baby, who had been reported missing.
More officers arrived at the scene shortly after and reunited the child and mother.
Police said the mom was trying to track an iPhone left in the vehicle, in hopes of finding her stolen car and baby.
Investigators believe the driver who left the baby on the side of the road is the carjacking suspect, who police have not yet found.

TACOMA, Wash. (AP) — At least two people were injured when a police officer responding to a report of a street race plowed his car through a crowd of pedestrians that had gathered around him and were pounding on the car’s windows in downtown Tacoma on Saturday night, officials said.
The incident happened just before 7 p.m. as about 100 people were blocking an intersection and watching several cars spinning in circles, police told The News Tribune of Tacoma.
A police car arrived, then drove through the crowd after people tried to block the vehicle, a witness said.
Video posted on social media shows the police car hitting several people and running over at least one person.
Tacoma police spokesperson Wendy Haddow told the newspaper that police were notified shortly after 6 p.m. of the street racers.
Haddow said a responding officer used his car’s bullhorn to address the crowd. The crowd then began pounding on his windows, she said.
“The officer, fearing for his safety, tried to back up, but was unable to do so because of the crowd,” Tacoma Police said in a statement. That prompted him to speed out of the scene for his own safety, police said.
One person sustained cuts in the collision and was taken to a hospital, Haddow said.
Puyallup Police Capt. Dan Pashon told KCPQ-TV that a second person was treated at the hospital and released.
City Manager Elizabeth Pauli said the officer involved will be placed on leave. The Pierce County Force Investigation Team will handle the case, Pauli said.
Interim Police Chief Mike Ake released a statement saying he was concerned about another “use of deadly force incident,” and promised his department’s full cooperation in the investigation.
ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Dustin Poirier stopped Conor McGregor with a flurry of punches midway through the second round Sunday, avenging his loss to the Irish superstar with a knockout victory at UFC 257.
Poirier (26-7) caught McGregor with a series of shots to the head before buckling his knees with two left hands. Poirier then sent McGregor to the canvas with a short right hand and finished it at 2:32 of the second, setting off stunned excitement among the few thousand screaming fans allowed inside the Etihad Arena on Yas Island.
In his first fight in a year, McGregor (22-5) had a strong first round before he was stopped by punches for the first time in his mixed martial arts career. McGregor, whose previous four losses all came by submission, stayed on the canvas for several moments afterward, gathering himself after his second loss in his three MMA fights since 2016.
“You know, it’s hard to overcome inactivity over long periods of time,” said McGregor, who hadn’t fought since beating Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds last January. “I just wasn’t as comfortable as I needed to be, but Dustin is some fighter. If you put in the time, you’re going to get cozy in here. I have to dust it off and come back, and that’s what I will do. ... I’ll take my licks, but I’m gutted.”
McGregor and Poirier met for the first time in September 2014 as featherweights, and McGregor won by knockout in just 106 seconds during his incredible early-career success. McGregor became the featherweight champion 15 months later, while Poirier rebuilt his career with just one loss in his next 11 fights.
With a second chance to derail McGregor while boosting his own hopes of regaining the lightweight title, Poirier didn’t miss.
“We’re 1-1, so maybe we have to do it again,” Poirier said.
Sporting a shaved head and a beard, McGregor pushed the action early against Poirier, who landed an early takedown before getting backed against the cage for stretches of the first round. But Poirier bothered and battered McGregor with leg kicks throughout the fight before throwing the punches that ended it.
In the co-main event at UFC 257, three-time Bellator lightweight champion Michael Chandler made a stunning UFC debut with a violent knockout of New Zealand’s Dan Hooker midway through the first round.
Chandler could be the next matchup for Poirier in a fight for the lightweight title apparently vacated by long-reigning 155-pound champ Khabib Nurmagomedov, who announced his retirement after his final victory last fall. Nurmagomedov has beaten both McGregor and Poirier in the past 2 1/2 years.
UFC President Dana White so far has been unable to persuade Nurmagomedov to go back on his vow to his mother to quit the sport after his father’s death, not even for a wildly lucrative rematch with McGregor, who repeatedly vowed to fight on after this loss to Poirier.
McGregor has not fought regularly in recent years, but his popularity was undiminished: UFC 257 is expected to be one of the most popular pay-per-view events in the promotion’s history, according to White, and distribution problems in the U.S. early in the PPV portion of the card led fans to bombard social media and ESPN with complaints.
Chandler’s long-anticipated UFC arrival was worth the wait for his 27th professional fight in a career that began in 2009.
After a deliberate start, Chandler (22-5) jabbed to the body as he lunged forward and caught Hooker with a left hand to the face that crumpled his opponent. Chandler finished a dazed Hooker with punches on the ground before climbing atop the cage and doing a full standing backflip into the octagon from atop the fence.
And Chandler was still fired up in his post-fight interview, calling the bout “the greatest moment of my professional life.”
“Conor McGregor! Surprise, surprise, there’s a new king in the lightweight division,” Chandler added. “Dustin Poirier, your time is coming. And Khabib, if you ever do see fit to grace us with your presence back here in the UFC octagon in your quest for 30 (victories), you know you’ve got to beat somebody, so beat me — if you can!”
Marina Rodriguez opened the pay-per-view portion of UFC 257 by upsetting fellow Brazilian strawweight contender Amanda Ribas. Rodriguez got a second-round stoppage with a flurry of punches and a knee in the opening minute.
UFC 257 concluded a run of three shows in eight days with a few thousand fans allowed inside the promotion’s coronavirus bubble in the Middle East. The promotion hadn’t held shows with fans since before the pandemic began last March.
The UFC returns to Las Vegas in two weeks for another run of shows at the fan-free Apex gym on its corporate campus.
The UK’s own Rex Brezie delivers a refreshing fusion of lyrical poignancy, vocal calm and creative production to the contemporary hip hop scene with this latest single.
Driving with a quickly engaging, smooth and subtle yet recognizable voice, and a compressed, warm beat that feels nostalgic by nature, Pain and Tears is a deeply human, honest and endearing piece of writing and performance, with a mellow, mildly humble presentation, which allows the depth of the lyrics to really reach out.
Kicking into gear with the song’s hook, there’s immediately a rhythmic and memorable moment to cling to as a listener. This line is optimistic, yet it talks with a certain air of realness – the journey isn’t easy, but it’s not something to ever give up on.
Brezie’s verses further this inspiring, motivational core with more detail about the artist’s own journey in life and music. The whole thing moves along and resolves in a satisfying, addictive fashion – circling around and embracing listeners like a classic hip hop anthem for deep thinkers should.
This calm and collected approach is like a breath of fresh air right about now – the Verb T-esque subtlety and clever bars lay bare a new story in a quietly striking way; as opposed to the heavy beats, quirks and volume found elsewhere in the scene in recent years.
Rex Brezie makes himself known in a smart way, and this track proves a worthy introduction.

(CNN) The Justice Department revealed new charges against a Texas man who allegedly participated in the Capitol attack & posted online death threats against Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a US Capitol Police officer.
Garret Miller of Texas faces five criminal charges stemming from the Capitol insurrection, including trespassing offenses & making death threats. Miller allegedly tweeted, "assassinate AOC," according to court documents.
He also said the police officer who fatally shot a Trump supporter during the attack "deserves to die" & won't "survive long" because it's "huntin[g] season."
Prosecutors said in newly released court documents that Miller posted extensively on social media before and during the attack, saying a "civil war could start" and "next time we bring the guns."
He was arrested on Wednesday, according to the Justice Department. Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to keep him in jail pending trial, and a detention hearing is scheduled for Monday.
Clint Broden, a lawyer for Miller, told CNN Saturday that his client "certainly regrets what he did."
"He did it in support of former President (Donald) Trump, but regrets his actions. He has the support of his family, and a lot of the comments, as viewed in context, are really sort of misguided political hyperbole. Given the political divide these days, there is a lot of hyperbole," Broden said.

More legal drama for Antonio Brown ... the Buccaneers star has been ordered to pay his rape accuser $100,000 after he allegedly violated a confidentiality agreement.
But, AB has already responded to the decision in new legal docs ... calling it all BS & asking for the ruling to be thrown out.
Here's the deal ... Brown was sued by Britney Taylor back in 2019 after she alleged he sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, including a violent rape in 2018.
Shortly after filing the lawsuit, Brown & Taylor entered into a confidentiality agreement -- hoping it would help both sides in the process of settlement talks.
But, in new legal docs obtained by TMZ Sports, Taylor alleges Brown violated the agreement multiple times over the past year & half -- & she asked an independent arbitrator to award her some serious cash over it all.
In the docs, an arbitrator found Brown DID violate the agreement one time ... saying when the 32-year-old posted a screenshot of a direct message from a person talking to him about the case in 2019, it breached the agreement.
The arbitrator ordered Brown to pay Taylor $100K for the violation.
But, in the docs, Brown says he should NOT have to pay it ... claiming the arbitrator ignored the law in issuing the award. The docs show he's now asking for the ruling to be vacated.
As for the bigger picture of the rape case ... court records show the dispute between the two parties is still very much ongoing.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Larry King, the suspenders-sporting everyman whose broadcast interviews with world leaders, movie stars & ordinary Joes helped define American conversation for a half-century, died Saturday. He was 87.
King died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Ora Media, the studio & network he co-founded, tweeted. No cause of death was given, but CNN reported Jan. 2 that King had been hospitalized for more than a week with COVID-19. His son Chance also confirmed King’s death.
A longtime nationally syndicated radio host, from 1985 through 2010 he was a nightly fixture on CNN, where he won many honors, including two Peabody awards.
With his celebrity interviews, political debates & topical discussions, King wasn’t just an enduring on-air personality. He also set himself apart with the curiosity be brought to every interview, whether questioning the assault victim known as the Central Park jogger or billionaire industrialist Ross Perot, who in 1992 rocked the presidential contest by announcing his candidacy on King’s show.
King conducted an estimated 50,000 on-air interviews. In 1995 he presided over a Middle East peace summit with PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, King Hussein of Jordan & Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin. He welcomed everyone from the Dalai Lama to Elizabeth Taylor, from Mikhail Gorbachev to Barack Obama, Bill Gates to Lady Gaga.
Especially after he relocated to Los Angeles, his shows were frequently in the thick of breaking celebrity news, including Paris Hilton talking about her stint in jail in 2007 & Michael Jackson’s friends & family members talking about his death in 2009.
King boasted of never overpreparing for an interview. His nonconfrontational style relaxed his guests & made him readily relatable to his audience.
“I don’t pretend to know it all,” he said in a 1995 Associated Press interview. “Not, `What about Geneva or Cuba?′ I ask, `Mr. President, what don’t you like about this job?′ Or `What’s the biggest mistake you made?′ That’s fascinating.”
A native of Bakersfield, CA, K. Fings had an open ear for music, and a family who fed it to him on many levels. With a mother who preferred gospel and a father who loved gangster rap, especially from the West Coast, a young K. Fing was fed everything from spiritual hymns to West Side Connection and Tupac. This mixture had a strong influence on his own choices in the long run as artists like Kayne West, Childish Gambino and J. Cole became the main go-to"s for K. Fings own listening purposes.
K. knew he had a passion for music and his own distinct way for delivering it. But he also felt education should come first. So he wrote, but stayed focused on his schooling and went on to New Mexico State University after high school. Still sending demos to labels, K. Fings found himself gracing the accomplishment of graduating college, and at that point was ready to take his destiny into his own hands. Bringing something different, he was ready to tell the story of life from his own point of view. And there were two things he knew, he had his own original vibe, and he could do it independently.
K. Fings released a few songs that gained popularity, but his latest EP titled "Oxford Blues" is what brings us here today. His single from that EP, "Like That" has been getting alot of word of mouth, and after one listen, it's easy to see why.
K. Fings touches the mic with a calm, clear and intelligently delivered word play. He quickly is seperated from everything else out here as he holds a sound reminiscent of West Coast pioneers, but with his own dash of seasoning. His sound is an immediate homage to the essence that once was real hip hop. The part of it that has been watered down and lost in industry standards and design.
But it doesn't stop in just his sound. K. Fing still gives a true lyricist presence. And that shows in high definition on the single "Like That." K. Fing tells a lyrical story of a kid caught up in the streets and gang activities. Walking the listeners step by step through decisions, choices and repercussions of this child. It quietly tackles a deeper issue of why are our children getting so mixed up in choices with adult punishments. How their young mind views and registers each situation. The song is one for the thinkers. Guaranteed to get your head nodding and your mind wondering. And it is few artists who gives us that feeling anymore.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - The 3 grand jurors who disputed several crucial points in Attorney General Daniel Cameron’s decision not to indict any of the LMPD officers involved in Breonna Taylor’s death are now trying to get him impeached.
Attorney Kevin Glogower signed the petition on behalf of the 3 anonymous grand jurors, all of whom claim Cameron lied about at least 3 things when he announced on Sept. 23 that none of the officers would be charged directly for the death of the 26-year-old Taylor during a botched raid at her Louisville apartment.
“He lied about what was presented to the grand jurors, he lied about what options were given to the grand jurors & he lied about the decisions the grand jury made,” Glogower said on Friday.
One of the three officers who fired their weapons the night of the Taylor raid, Brett Hankison, was charged with 3 counts of wanton endangerment for firing into neighboring apartments.
The petition was filed with the Kentucky House of Representatives on Friday, & will go before the state’s newly-created impeachment committee at a time that is still to be determined.
The petition charges Cameron with:
+ Incitement of insurrection (for financing, directing, and/or permitting radical robocalls that flooded the United States Capitol with rioters on January 6, 2021)
+ Breach of public trust & failure to comply with duties for misrepresenting to the nation the findings of the Grand Jury
+ Abuse of office & breach of duties of professional responsibility & ethics
“The grand jurors were approached by a number of people who wanted to gauge interest in filing something against Mr. Cameron,” Glogower said. “They decided to take this avenue ... to make sure the right people are being held accountable for what happened.”
Saint Cassius connects with Jadakiss for his new single titled "We Make It Look," which also features a contribution from jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold.
