Ex-school principal sidelined for Charlie Kirk comments makes sick admission
A former Oregon high school principal who had already been sidelined over controversial comments about slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk is now headed to prison in a child sex abuse images case.
Jeremy P. Williams, 50, of Longview, Washington, was sentenced Feb. 23 to 61 months behind bars after pleading guilty to three counts of first-degree possession of depictions of a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct.
Williams will also have to register as a sex offender and serve three years of supervision after his release, prosecutors said.
Williams was leading Rainier Junior/Senior High School since 2022. The Rainier School District serves fewer than 800 students, according to state data.

His legal troubles came to light after social media platforms flagged accounts tied to him for sharing files that matched known child sexual abuse material — a digital fingerprinting process known as hash matching. That alert kicked off an investigation, and detectives later searched his home, seizing phones, computers and other devices.
Before his arrest, school officials were already responding to concerns about Williams’ conduct.
In a message to families, Superintendent Chad Holloway said the district was aware of “concerns… following a recent comment by an employee… regarding Charlie Kirk,” calling the activist’s killing “deeply unsettling” and acknowledging the impact on students and staff.

Following those concerns, Williams was placed on paid administrative leave.
Days later, Holloway sent another letter to the community describing “very disturbing” developments after learning of Williams’ arrest on charges involving depictions of minors in sexually explicit conduct.
He emphasized that the district was working closely with law enforcement and taking steps to support students, including making counselors available and allowing early dismissal for families who felt it was needed.
“The safety of our students is our highest priority,” Holloway wrote.

He stressed that investigators did not believe any students in the district were involved and said the district was fully cooperating with law enforcement.
Authorities have echoed that point, saying there’s no indication Williams possessed images of students from the school.
Williams was arrested in September 2025 and booked into the Cowlitz County Jail.

The case itself unfolded largely behind the scenes until sentencing, where Williams reportedly offered only a barely audible apology, according to the Daily Chronicle in Longview. The outlet also reported that he had previously boasted about winning awards for his erotic fiction.

Woman dies after gondola cabin falls from cable at ski resort
One person died Wednesday when a cable car cabin at a Swiss ski resort fell and crashed on a snowy mountainside.
The fatal incident happened at the ski resort of Engelberg in central Switzerland around 11 a.m. local time, authorities said.

“A cabin of the ‘Titlis Xpress’ gondola lift between Trübsee and Stand detached from the cable and plunged down the snow-covered slope in rugged terrain,” a press release states. “A person who was in the cabin at the time of the accident sustained fatal injuries.”
The person was identified as a 61-year-old woman. Her exact cause of death has not been disclosed.
Investigators from several agencies were looking into how the accident happened.

“It’s also important for us that the incident is investigated down to the second. We will provide all the data without gaps,” said Norbert Patt, CEO of Titlis cable cars, during a news conference, the Blick newspaper reported. “It’s an extraordinary event. Gondolas shouldn’t crash,” he added.
Patt said there was a breeze at the time the gondola fell, but could not say how strong the winds were.
Several schoolchildren attending a ski camp witnessed the accident.

“I was really shocked. We were then afraid to go back down in the gondola,” a 14-year-old girl told the news outlet.
State’s takeout container ban could drive up food prices, impact quality, critics warn
A proposal being weighed by Connecticut lawmakers could change how takeout food is packaged and delivered, and critics say it could affect quality and cost and could even threaten the livelihood of individual restaurant owners, with one saying he could “go broke” as a result.
House Bill 5524 would prohibit restaurants and other food service businesses from using polystyrene, commonly known as Styrofoam, for takeout, while also limiting items like utensils, napkins and straws.
Restaurant owners say packaging directly affects how food holds up during takeout because trapped steam, temperature loss and movement during delivery can affect everything from crispness to presentation. Different materials, they say, tend to perform better depending on the type of dish.
STATE OFFICIALS MOVE TO BAN PAPER STRAWS AT RESTAURANTS, CITING ‘CONCERNING HEALTH RISKS’
Pedro Garcia, owner of Mo’s Midtown Restaurant in Hartford, said takeout makes up between 30% and 50% of his business, making container choice a critical part of the takeout experience.
Styrofoam is cleaner and easier to package, he told FOX 61.
“For me, it’s more convenient,” he added.
Garcia said he relies on the material to keep made-to-order meals fresh during transit.
It’s a concern shared by other operators, who say certain foods don’t travel as well in other types of packaging.
CALIFORNIA ESCALATES ITS WAR ON PLASTIC GROCERY BAGS, BANNING EVEN ‘REUSABLE’ VERSIONS
The bill would also require customers to request utensils and napkins rather than receiving them automatically.
Customers may forget to ask and blame restaurants when items are missing, Garcia argued.
He added that lawmakers should conduct more outreach to restaurant owners before establishing a law that could shake up their business model.
RESTAURANT BILL WOULD BAN PLASTIC UTENSILS AND CONDIMENT PACKETS FROM ON-SITE DINING IN MOST CIRCUMSTANCES
“They should — because then we’ll have to be stuck with this. Or we go broke,” Garcia said.
Industry groups are also warning the changes could affect day-to-day operations and costs.
“Most alternatives do not provide the same insulation as Styrofoam.”
The proposal would add “operational and financial strain” to an industry already dealing with rising costs and labor challenges, the Connecticut Restaurant & Hospitality Association (CRHA) said in a statement.
“While this bill is well-intentioned, it unfairly burdens restaurants and hotels with unclear organic recycling mandates, a ban on expanded polystyrene not applied consistently and restrictions on single-use items that are difficult to enforce,” the group said in a Facebook post.

The changes could slow prep times, require additional training and generally cause unnecessary friction, according to Milos Eric, the Florida-based co-founder of OysterLink, a hospitality jobs platform.
“In high-volume restaurants, having just a few additional seconds per order adds up over a single shift, particularly during peak hours when employees are already short-staffed,” Eric told Fox News Digital.
While alternatives exist, including paper-based packaging, no one solution works for every situation, he said.
“Most alternatives do not provide the same insulation as Styrofoam,” Eric pointed out.

Some Connecticut restaurants have already moved away from Styrofoam.
At Acme Burger in Middletown, which uses cardboard containers, General Manager Branden Bullock said the choice has worked overall, though questions remain about convenience, particularly when it comes to providing utensils, WFSB reported.
Acme Burger customers often pick up food to eat on a picnic at the nearby Harbor Park, which sits on the Connecticut River.
“So, having the plastic accessible makes sense,” Bullock told WFSB.

Lawmakers backing the bill say the proposal is part of a broader effort to address growing waste challenges, modernize the state’s trash and recycling systems and reduce the amount of waste sent out of state.
“This is some of the low-hanging fruit that has a big impact,” state Rep. Aundre Bumgardner, D-Groton, a sponsor of the bill, told the CT Mirror.
Similar efforts in Connecticut have failed in past sessions.
The measure is under review by the legislature’s Environment Committee and has not yet advanced to a full vote.
If approved, the measure would take effect in 2028.

It would add Connecticut to the list of states that have enacted similar restrictions on Styrofoam takeout containers, including California, New York, New Jersey and Washington.
Virginia is also phasing in a similar ban, which will apply to all food vendors statewide by July 2026, according to reports.
Fox News Digital reached out to the bill’s sponsors, as well as the CRHA, for additional comment.
Scalise rips House Dems for trying ‘dumbest idea in political history’ again
EXCLUSIVE: A senior House GOP leader is accusing Democrats of reviving their controversial push to “defund the police” with their latest bid to circumvent funding for law enforcement under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., called the progressive slogan “one of the dumbest ideas in the history of politics” in an interview with Fox News Digital.
“The American people lambasted them, and they moved on for a little while, but they came back to it, and they’re trying it again,” Scalise said. “We’re not going to let them do it. And by the way, we’re at a heightened level of threat — this is when everybody should be coming together and making sure that the Department of Homeland Security has all the tools they need to keep Americans safe.”
Democratic leaders announced on Wednesday that they would move to force a vote on legislation to fund all of DHS except for agencies that aid in President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration. It comes as the ongoing partial government shutdown, only affecting DHS, has gone on for over a month with no end in sight.
DEM SENATORS IN THE HOT SEAT AS REPUBLICANS RIP THEIR DHS VOTE AMID TERROR THREATS: ‘UNDER ATTACK’
“If you look, they fund everything except the law enforcement side, which is defunding the police. So here they go again. Democrats, for some reason, just hate law enforcement,” Scalise said.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., announced Democrats are filing a discharge petition on a bill to fund all of DHS except immigration enforcement on Wednesday. A discharge petition is a mechanism to force a vote on legislation over the objections of House leadership, provided the measure in question has support from a majority of House lawmakers.
“We can fund [the Transportation Security Administration], fund the Coast Guard, fund our cybersecurity professionals or continue to allow ICE to brutalize and in some cases kill American citizens or to violently target law-abiding immigrant families,” Jeffries told reporters.
It would need some GOP support to reach that threshold under current numbers. Scalise would not say whether he anticipated it getting that support, but he was skeptical that it would unite all House Democrats.
“Frankly, there should be Democrats that don’t want to be a part of that, that don’t wanna be associated with defunding the police again. They touched the stove and got burned a few years ago. Are they really gonna be stupid enough to make that same mistake again?” he said.
The infamous three-word slogan made headlines in 2020 amid nationwide racial justice protests in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis.
Progressives across the country demanded that their governments withhold funding from police departments if they did not radically change their standards, while some on the far-left called to abolish law enforcement altogether.
But it quickly became unpopular with the majority of Americans, who were concerned it would lead to nationwide policies that led to more crime across towns and cities.
Then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., famously said the movement was “dead” in 2022 and said “defund the police” is “not the position of the Democratic Party.”
CORNYN BLASTS ‘DEFUND THE POLICE’ DEMOCRAT FOR HOLDING TSA AGENTS ‘HOSTAGE’ DURING AIRPORT CLASH
Democrats faced significant losses in the midterms that year, with Republicans winning back control of the House of Representatives.
But Republicans are arguing that Democratic leaders are mounting that push once more in their efforts to partially fund DHS.
Their proposal would mean that both Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) are both left unfunded, agencies that Republicans argue are responsible for law enforcement that’s critical to national security.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., pointed out during a Tuesday press conference that CBP is the largest federal law enforcement agency in the country.

“Customs and Border Protection plays an irreplaceable role in our national security framework. This is not a game. Our CBP agents stand on the front lines. They protect our nation against transnational crime, drug and child trafficking, and terrorist threats before they reach our communities,” Johnson said.
“The law enforcement agencies that are part of the Department of Homeland Security are what they’re targeting. Democrats refuse to reopen TSA and FEMA and the Coast Guard and these other critical functions of government unless they can reopen our borders to illegal aliens.”
Both ICE and CBP’s responsibilities extend beyond border security as well.
ICE is responsible for investigating transnational crimes, including terrorism, narcotics smuggling, and international gang activity. CBP also has its own counterterrorism responsibilities, along with its duties to facilitate lawful travel into the U.S. and combat transnational crime.
Arrest made in haunting case of realtor shot dead while hosting open house
Iowa authorities have announced an arrest in the cold case murder of realtor Ashley Okland nearly 15 years after her death.
On Wednesday, officials revealed 53-year-old Kristin Elizabeth Ramsey, of Woodward, is charged with first-degree murder stemming from Okland’s death.
“Ashley’s story has kept many of us awake at night, revisiting the details over and over in our minds,” West Des Moines Assistant Police Chief Jody Hayes said in a press conference. “Searching for that missing piece that would tie everything together and lead us down the right path to identifying a person that was responsible for this act.”
On April 8, 2011, the body of 27-year-old Ashley Okland was discovered inside a model townhome where authorities say she was hosting an open house. She had been shot twice.

An employee working within the complex heard a commotion inside the townhome and went to investigate the cause of the noise, according to Crime Stoppers of Central Iowa. Upon entering the building, the worker found Okland on the floor and dialed 911.
At the time of Okland’s death, Ramsey worked as an administrative assistant and sales manager for Rottlund Homes, which was the developer of the townhome where Okland was killed, according to the Des Moines Register.
HEADLESS, HANDLESS BODY FOUND ON NEW YORK ROAD 56 YEARS AGO IDENTIFIED THROUGH DNA; KILLER REMAINS UNKNOWN
The case went unsolved for nearly 15 years.
The case rattled the Iowa community, with authorities revealing on the four-year anniversary of Okland’s death that nearly 900 leads had been investigated and approximately 500 people had been interviewed, the outlet reported.

“That Friday afternoon when Ashley was taken from us seems so long ago,” Okland’s sister, Brittany Bruce, told reporters on Thursday. “We had lost our hope in finding answers and having any justice for Ashley. It was really difficult to accept that the case had gone cold.”

Spring break party scenes turn ugly as cops ramp up public shaming campaign
Authorities in the Florida Panhandle are taking spring break by storm by sharing viral bodycam video in an effort to crack down on rowdy college students allegedly breaking the law.
The Bay County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), which has jurisdiction over hotspot Panama City, has launched a social media campaign looking to deter college students from engaging in unlawful behavior by promoting arrests online.
“We appreciate visitors that respect our community and laws, but will not tolerate disorder in illegal activity,” Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford said in a video posted to Facebook.
The department is sharing clips of recent incidents stemming from spring break chaos, earning hundreds of thousands of views as officials throughout the Sunshine State grapple with another year of college students descending on their city’s beaches.
VIDEO SHOWS PANICKED SPRING BREAK CROWDS FLEEING BEACH HOTSPOT AFTER REPORTS OF FIVE WEEKEND SHOOTINGS
In the fourteenth episode of “Busted in the Panhandle,” BCSO takes viewers along for the ride as they break up multiple house parties and street racing events tied to spring break.
A portion of the video shows a chaotic scene outside a residential home in which a college-aged man is covered in blood while claiming he was “jumped,” as authorities respond to a call regarding a house party disturbance on Feb. 28.
According to an incident report obtained by Fox News Digital, authorities arrived on the scene to find Steven Claghorn “with blood on his face and shirt attempting to enter a vehicle,” while a woman identified as “Ava” was yelling at him.

Upon speaking to several witnesses, deputies learned Claghorn had broken up with Ava “on her birthday” during a party at the house, resulting in a fight between the pair.
The altercation allegedly turned physical when Claghorn raised his fist and attempted to swing at Ava, but was blocked by the group, according to the incident report.
After officers arrived, the situation quickly escalated after Ava appeared to shove a female police officer, causing her to be taken into custody.

“Don’t handle her like that,” Claghorn, who appears to be intoxicated, tells the officer. “I don’t care about the job title. Don’t handle her like that.”
Ava can be heard hysterically screaming as she is handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car after being arrested on charges of willfully and knowingly obstructing or opposing a law enforcement officer.
Claghorn was subsequently arrested on charges of assault and resisting a law enforcement officer without violence, according to police.
Another clip shows officers breaking up a house party hosted by students at the start of spring break on March 8.
Approximately a dozen students, dressed in party clothes and bathing suits, can be seen filing out of the home as officers try to determine who is in charge of the party.

At one point, the students are lined up along the wall and questioned as to who is currently staying at the house.
“We live in a city where people come in for vacation and have a good time, but at no point does that mean that we’re going to be okay with people coming into our county or our city and breaking our rules and our laws,” an officer can be heard telling the group. “Does that makes sense?”
In another clip, authorities take an individual into custody for allegedly street racing with a pair of vehicles on Feb. 28.
According to an incident report obtained by Fox News Digital, an officer witnessed two vehicles engaged in an apparent street racing match in which the leading vehicle was observed reaching speeds of 107 mph.
VACATION HOT SPOT MAY BAN ALCOHOL SALES DURING KEY HOURS IN SWEEPING NEW CRACKDOWN
Bodycam video shows officers taking the driver into custody.
“I’m under arrest?” The driver can be heard asking.
“Yeah, 107 [mph] in a 45 [mph zone],” the officer replies as he places handcuffs on the individual.
The driver, identified as Rodney Jackson, was subsequently arrested and charged with racing on the roadway and super speeder – speed over 100 mph.
In response to the Spring Break chaos, authorities have banned alcohol on Panama City Beach for the month of March and bars must close by 2 a.m. Additionally, BCSO has implemented a nighttime curfew for minors and vacation rentals are barred from renting to anyone under 21 years of age.

In nearby Volusia County, officials made 133 spring break-related arrests over the weekend.
“If you plan on engaging in this type of activity, I’d recommend you find somewhere else to go,” Ford said. “We encourage parents of minors considering coming to Panama City Beach to make them aware of these rules to avoid significant expense and legal consequences.”
Steelers legend grows ‘tired’ of Aaron Rodgers charade as QB keeps team waiting
Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers signed a one-year deal with the Steelers last offseason. At 42, he has not ruled out a 2026 return, but the team is waiting to see what comes next.
The NFL’s new league year kicked off last week and the draft is next month. As the Steelers continue through the offseason, at least one former standout made it clear Rodgers’ time in Pittsburgh should be over.
Pro Football Hall of Famer Rod Woodson urged his former team to simply move on from Rodgers. “Is he gonna play? Listen, I get kinda tired of it,” Woodson said on “The Rich Eisen Show.”

“Listen, if he’s gonna play, say he’s gonna play, he’s gonna come back. And the team shouldn’t wait for Aaron Rodgers. They need to move forward.”
While Woodson’s frustration appears to be growing, the Steelers still appear willing to wait. Rodgers recently said he is not aware of any “deadline” but has maintained his offseason training routine.
NFL FREE AGENT QUARTERBACKS: THE TOP 10 QBS AVAILABLE THIS OFFSEASON
Rodgers started in 16 games last season, throwing 24 touchdowns. He helped the Steelers end a five-season AFC North division title drought. But Pittsburgh ultimately could not break its playoff windless streak, losing to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round.
Rodgers spent the first 18 seasons of his NFL career with the Green Bay Packers. He had a two-year stint with the New York Jets before signing with the Steelers.
“What is it with these ex-Green Bay Packers quarterbacks that they have to be talked about all the time?” Woodson added. “‘Cause Brett Favre was that way for years. Remember how we used to have to talk about Brett Favre, talk about Brett Favre.”
Former Ohio State standout Will Howard and NFL veteran Mason Rudolph are set to return to the Steelers in 2026. Concerns about the Steelers’ quarterback room continue to mount, with former star Rod Woodson arguing the team missed a chance to secure a long-term answer in last year’s draft.
“They should’ve taken Jaxson Dart (in the 2025 NFL Draft),” Woodson said. “He fell to them. It was the best opportunity for them to take that quarterback who has that swag, kinda fit into that Steeler mold.”

The Steelers formally introduced Mike McCarthy in January, kicking off a new era. McCarthy replaces Mike Tomlin, who stepped down after 19 seasons as the Steelers’ head coach.
McCarthy coached Rodgers in Green Bay. The new Steelers coach said he’s been in contact with his former quarterback this offseason, adding earlier this year he viewed Rodgers as a “great asset” to the team and suggested the franchise would welcome his return.

Reality star’s glam night goes sideways after tumble outside Oscars after-party
Kim Kardashian knows how to make an entrance.
The “All’s Fair” actress turned heads Sunday while party-hopping around Hollywood after the 98th Academy Awards.
While her skin-tight gold Gucci gown caused all the right commotion, the reality TV star missed her mark and fell into a bush while heading into the ultra-exclusive Vanity Fair soirée in Los Angeles.

Her eight-inch stilettos proved to be a bit of an issue though, as Kim narrowly avoided a nasty spill while walking outside the event.
While walking with her longtime friend Stephanie Shepherd, the influencer asked whether her right shoe “should be tighter,” before crashing down.
As the “Kardashians” star stumbled into a bush, a trio of handlers came to her aid and helped prevent the SKIMS founder from hitting the ground.
Earlier this year, Kim dished on the “crazy” drama surrounding her family’s royal “photogate” involving Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex went noticeably missing from Kris Jenner’s party post only hours after the momager shared snaps from her star-studded soirée to celebrate her 70th birthday.
“Mom and Meghan have been friends for some years now, and they have a really sweet relationship,” Kim confessed on her sister’s podcast, “Khloé In Wonder Land.” “We took a photo and then I think we were all going through them, we’re all communicating about what we’re going to post. We’re never ones to post without permission – it’s not who we are.”

Kim continued, “We were told that it was totally cool to post and then after it was posted, I think they realized it was Remembrance Day, and they didn’t want to be seen at a party even though it’s already up, and then taken down. I think they realized, ugh this was so silly.”
The Good American designer noted that Meghan and Harry were party-hopping and had been at “Baby2Baby right before.”
Kim admitted that “you just gotta laugh at the situation sometimes and just lighten up” while dealing with the social media situation. The pro-active entrepreneur was inspired by the “photogate” and wanted to pitch the idea for something more lucrative.
“If everyone’s taking it the wrong way, like lean in,” she advised. “I was like, ‘We should do a full SKIMS campaign.’ Take the photo … even just us. I’ll shoot you … post it and then delete it like 30 minutes later, and then I say, ‘Oh, sorry. I didn’t have permission to post those photos for the campaign.'”
