Juice WRLD's movements have been under the microscope of federal agents since at least last month ... and TMZ has learned it started with another private jet search.
Juice's initial run-in with the feds went down on November 18 at LAX ... according to our law enforcement sources. The rapper and his entourage were boarding their flight bound for Sydney, Australia, when Customs Agents conducted the search.
We're told drug-sniffing dogs were all over Juice and co. and their luggage. It's unclear if agents found anything -- we do know the plane was eventually allowed to take off with Juice on board.
TMZ broke the story ... Homeland Security agents, operating under an FBI task force, searched Juice WRLD's private jet early Sunday morning when it landed at Chicago's Midway Airport.
As we reported, cops confiscated 70 lbs. of marijuana and 3 handguns after searching the plane. We're told Juice suffered his seizure -- which turned out to be fatal -- as agents were conducting their search. Our sources say someone in his entourage told cops he had taken several "unknown pills."
As for why the feds were so keyed in to his late-night flight to Chi-Town? It's possible it had something to do with the intel they'd gathered during the LAX search. Additionally, we're told the pilot had reported Juice's bodyguards for having handguns -- a no-no if they're not packed properly, or if the bodyguard doesn't have a permit.
We've reached out to the FBI for more detail on last month's search, but so far ... radio silence.

PRINCETON, WV — A Virginia woman has been jailed for life for the murder of her boyfriend's disabled son.
Roena Cheryl Mills, 43, killed 29-year-old Bo White on Easter Sunday of 2018, before decapitating him and attempting to chop up the rest of his body. The court heard the Mills had been having sex with Bo as well as his father Jimmy White, whom she had first met while working at a strip club in 1995.
Prosecuting Attorney George Sitler told the court that Bo was "sickly, introverted boy" who still played with Star Wars figures, the Bluefield Daily Telegraph reported. He lived alone, but had money thanks to a disability check.
According to his cellphone found on his headless body at his home, Mills texted him on his last night alive, arranging to meet up: "I'm trying to get my things. Give me a few minutes," she sent him late on March 31.
While the reason for their meeting was not determined, Sitler said one theory was that she was trading pills for sexual favors. "His father had introduced him to a manipulative woman. She knew Bo had a pocket full of pills and a pocket full of cash," Sitler said, describing Bo as "an awkward, sickly shut-in who didn't have a real life."
When Jimmy discovered his son's headless corpse, Sitler told the court his first reaction was to take drugs. "He didn't want to face it,”" he said. "He wanted to get high. That's what junkies do. That's how they deal with life or don't deal with it."
That night, Mills texted people from midnight to 4:30am trying to recruit help as she sought to get rid of the body. One witness, military veteran Jo Fleming testified that Mills asked to borrow gasoline and a chainsaw from him, and wanted him to come with her, but he refused.
This left her with just "cheap kitchen knives" Sitler explained, comparing the task of severing Bo's head to cutting up chicken: "all that flesh and bone is hard to cut with a good knife."
Mills — who has "special kinda crazy" tattooed across her chest — was found on the morning of April 1 emerging from a wooded area, agitated and disheveled, telling deputies they had to let her finish what she was doing and "you have to let me go back and get my heads."
Defense attorney Sid Bell claimed it could not be proven beyond reasonable doubt Mills was responsible for the killing, arguing that Bo's father was a more likely culprit. "Our theory is that Jimmy White was jealous of her relationship with Bo... and Jimmy White is a terrible person," he said.
He pointed out that there was no evidence of any problems between Mills and the victim, and that the blows and stab wounds that killed him required "a lot of strength"
"As an old prosecutor, we call that a crime of passion," he said. "Someone with a lot of strength and a lot of rage had to kill this man."
Nevertheless, the West Virginia jury took less than two hours to find Mills guilty of first-degree murder on Thursday. She was sentenced to life in prison "without mercy" — meaning she has no chance of parole.

Entertainment One “eOne” and 8gang announce the release of a new single by Australian artist, songwriter and rapper Zheani. The haunting track “I Won’t Sell My Soul,” like all of Zheani’s creative output, can be best understood as an attempt at manifestation. Taking shadowed and broken pieces of memory and arranging them in such a way that they inspire and invoke strength. The rap verse gives a blunt and chilling insight into Zheani’s family background. WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW!
Her raw and unfiltered approach to her work resonates with her organic and engaged audience.
Zheani states, “Through this project I want to address the dark memories of my past so I never have to look back into the abyss again. It’s not going to be pretty but it’s what I feel I need to do. A part of me hopes that most people will find it hard to relate to the lyrics but the sad fact is I know that far too many will and I’m sorry if you do.”
This new offering will give her listeners the no holds bar honesty her fan base craves and sets a tone for the upcoming release of The Zheani Sparkes EP, scheduled for an early 2020 release.
The video for “I Won’t Sell My Soul” captures Zheani’s appreciation of contemporary performance art and subverts its aesthetics to illustrate the meaning behind the song. “With blood in your eyes you can’t see the same.” There is an occult significance to blood. Blood like the blood spilled in horrific scenes of domestic violence that Zheani bore witness to and experienced in her childhood. In the video, with the help of her creative collaborator Mik Shida, Zheani takes these Gummoesque concepts and attempts to make them beautiful. “I won’t sell my soul.”
Not one to be muffled by the industry, artist’s barriers or controversy, Zheani became a hero in some circles as a David vs Goliath archetype when she dropped her now infamous song “The Question” Since then she has experienced every emotional roller coaster ride the music business has to offer. She has seen her name attached to falsehoods, dealt with people working against her behind the scenes to have her censored and still stood dignified despite attacks that would have shattered the life of the average 26-year-old woman.
“I Won’t Sell My Soul” will be released via eOne and Zheani’s 8Gang records.

Its a song called “One Last Time” we put this song together to thank everyone who has supported us on the project, to reflect on the last few years of music and to give back to people doing what we do best one last time,” commented Bertrand the Visionary. “We made the video from footage taken at various shows and tours we have done over the last 10 years so this is a video that we are really proud to look back on and to be able to share with everyone who has supported us!” Triple-R’s recently released debut album “Red Rum Records” has drawn critical acclaim from HipHopCanada and others since it’s release. The album showcases the Montreal collective spitting venom on tracks with Madchild & Prevail from Swollen Members, Demrick from hip-hop supergroup Serial Killers, and Alberta hip-hop squad Doom Squad. The album also includes works of well-known Quebec artists including DJ Horg , K-Turnaz (Taktika’s DJ) , Jazz Master Snooksta and Anu Budz, owner and founder of MakeWay Studio.

Juice WRLD might've made a fatal decision as law enforcement searched his private jet -- swallowing a bunch of painkillers in an attempt to hide them from the feds.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the pilot who was flying Juice's private plane alerted authorities on the ground that the rapper's entourage had guns on them -- a big no-no in air travel. When they landed, FBI and FAA agents were waiting for Juice and company.
We're told at some point between the plane landing and the feds conducting their search ... Juice was seen swallowing several Percocet pills in what people believed was an attempt to hide them. Our sources say the pills might've contributed to his death in a possible OD.
An autopsy was performed on the rapper Monday, but additional testing, including toxicology, cardiac pathology and neuropathology is still needed before determining an official cause.
BTW, we've also learned that paramedics spent 40 minutes treating Juice, primarily trying to get his heart to beat regularly. They eventually transported him, at 2:55 AM, to the hospital. They arrived at 3:06 AM and doctors at the hospital pronounced him dead.
FWIW ... we're told the 3 guns seized were all registered. As we reported, the feds also seized 70 lbs. of weed ... allegedly found in multiple vacuum-sealed bags inside luggage from the private jet.
Two of Juice's associates were arrested for gun possession. Both men are already out of jail.

NEW YORK (News12) — Parents in Park Slope say their children came home teary-eyed Monday after they say a teacher at P.S. 321 told the first graders that Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy aren't real.
The families say it happened during a lesson about 'convincing.' They add that now they are trying to explain why the educator isn't a believer.
The principal of P.S. 231 says that this was a substitute teacher, but the moms and dads say it doesn't matter, especially that the holiday season is approaching.
In a letter sent out to parents, the principal says she was extremely upset to hear about what happened. She says they are investigating the staff member and that "...I guarantee you that this substitute will not be in class 1-216 again ... we take this very seriously."
Meanwhile, the parents say that just want their kids to understand that everyone is entitled to their own thoughts.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Russia was slapped Monday with a four-year ban from international sports events, including next summer’s Tokyo Olympics, over a longstanding doping scandal, although its athletes will still be able to compete if they can show they are clean competitors.
The ruling by the World Anti-Doping Agency’s executive committee means that Russia’s flag, name and anthem will not appear at the Tokyo Games, and the country also could be stripped of hosting world championships in Olympic sports.
The sanctions are the harshest punishment yet for Russian state authorities who were accused of tampering with a Moscow laboratory database. Russia’s anti-doping agency can appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport within 21 days — an action it has signaled it would take.
“Russia was afforded every opportunity to get its house in order ... but it chose instead to continue in its stance of deception and denial,” WADA president Craig Reedie said.
Russian athletes can compete in major events only if they are not implicated in positive doping tests or if their data was not manipulated, according to the WADA ruling.
For soccer’s 2022 World Cup, WADA said the Russian team will play under its name in the qualifying program in Europe. If it qualifies to play in Qatar, the team name must be changed to something neutral that likely would not include the word “Russia.”
At the past two track and field world championships, Russians competed as “Authorized Neutral Athlete.” A softer line was taken ahead of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games, when the International Olympic Committee suspended the Russian Olympic body yet allowed athletes and teams to compete as “Olympic Athlete from Russia.”
Going forward, “they cannot use the name of the country in the name of the team,” WADA president-elect Witold Bańka told The Associated Press.
Legal fallout from the WADA ruling at CAS seems sure to dominate preparations for the Tokyo Olympics, which open July 24.
Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev urged sports organizations to appeal and said WADA’s ruling was “a continuation of this anti-Russian hysteria which has already become chronic.”
The latest round of sanctions were imposed because tampering with the Moscow data was a new violation of anti-doping rules committed as recently as January.
Handing over a clean database to WADA was a key requirement given to Russia 15 months ago to help bring closure to a scandal that has tainted the Olympics over the last decade.
WADA investigators and the IOC agreed that evidence showed Russian authorities corrupted data from the Moscow lab that was long sealed by security forces. Hundreds of potential doping cases were deleted and evidence falsely planted to shift the blame onto whistleblowers.
“Flagrant manipulation” of the data was “an insult to the sporting movement worldwide,” the IOC said last month.
Athletes whose data was manipulated in the 2012-15 testing period now face disciplinary cases by their sport’s governing body.
“Yes, we do know who those athletes are. They will be kept out of the (Tokyo) Games,” said British lawyer Jonathan Taylor, chairman of the WADA panel whose proposed sanctions were unanimously approved Monday.
However, the doping watchdog’s outgoing vice president was left frustrated by an unwillingness to fully expel Russia from the Tokyo Olympics and 2022 Beijing Winter Games.
“I’m not happy with the decision we made today. But this is as far as we could go,” said Linda Helleland, a Norwegian lawmaker who has long pushed for a tougher line against Russia. “This is the biggest sports scandal the world has ever seen. I would expect now a full admission from the Russians and for them to apologize on all the pain all the athletes and sports fans have experienced.”
Although the IOC has called for the strongest possible sanctions, it wants those sanctions directed at Russian state authorities rather than athletes or Olympic officials.
That position was opposed by most of WADA’s athlete commission. It wanted the kind of blanket ban Russia avoided for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games when a state-run doping program was exposed by media and WADA investigations after Russia hosted the 2014 Olympics in Sochi.
The decision to appeal has been stripped from RUSADA chief executive Yuri Ganus, an independent figure criticizing Russian authorities’ conduct on the doping data issue. Authority was passed to the agency’s supervisory board after an intervention led by the Russian Olympic Committee.
The ROC on Saturday labeled the expected sanctions as “illogical and inappropriate.”
Russia has stuck to its claim that deceptive edits in the data were in fact made by WADA’s star witness, Grigory Rodchenkov. The former Moscow lab director’s flight into the witness protection program in the United States was the subject of an Oscar-winning documentary.
“As usual, Russia has disregarded all of its promises and obligations to clean sport,” Rodchenkov said Monday in a statement from his lawyers.
Sports fans worldwide will still be watching top-tier events from Russia in the next four years despite the hosting ban.
In soccer, St. Petersburg will still host four games at the 2020 European Championship and the 2021 Champions League final, because European soccer body UEFA is not bound by the ruling. Nor is the Formula 1 racing series, which goes to Sochi’s Olympic Park for a race each year.
“The contract is valid through 2025,” Russian Grand Prix spokeswoman Tatyana Rivnaya told the AP in a telephone interview.
World championships in lower-profile Olympic sports — including luge in two months and wrestling in 2022 — could stay in Russia due to legal difficulties moving them.
“There will be practical issues,” Taylor acknowledged, “and we can’t ignore those.”
However, Taylor said a block on Russia bidding for or being awarded sports events in the next four years would have a longer effect beyond the ban.
