DENVER (KDVR) -- Medina Alerts in Colorado aren't issued as often as many might believe.A representative with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation said Sunday that, on average, the organization issues five to 10 alerts each year. “You won't see a Medina Alert in every single hit-and-run case out there, even if it is covered in the media," Audrey Simkins, an investigative analyst with CBI said. She said law enforcement agencies will reach out to CBI to have the alert issued if they believe the public can help find the car or driver involved. Denver hit-and-runs on the rise “[To qualify for a Medina Alert], there has to be serious bodily injury, harm or death to the person involved in the accident and there needs to be information that an alert will be of assistance,” Simkins said. Some of the information to help in the alert she said includes a picture of the car, a license plate number or a portion of the plate. She said other good details to share if the vehicle has some unique ...

Chicago Bulls question Nikola Vučević’s ejection by refs: ‘He may have been asking them if they wanted to go out to dinner’

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:47:38 GMT

Chicago Bulls coach Billy Donovan still isn’t certain exactly what Nikola Vučević said to the officials to earn a double-technical ejection from Sunday’s win over the Los Angeles Lakers.Donovan was well within earshot when Vučević shouted down referee Sean Corbin after receiving his first technical foul, which immediately triggered a second technical from crew chief Tony Brothers. It wasn’t a matter of volume or proximity; Vučević was speaking Serbian, a language that Donovan, Brothers and Corbin don’t understand.“I don’t know how they can T him up when he’s talking Serbian,” Donovan said after the game. “He may have been asking them if they wanted to go out to dinner that night.”Vučević exclusively curses in Serbian when he’s on the court, a trait that often helps him to avoid trouble as a typically levelheaded veteran. But that didn’t protect him in the second quarter Su...

UK report: Black kids 6 times likelier to be strip-searched

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:47:38 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Black children in England and Wales were six times more likely to be strip-searched by police, according to a report being released Monday that found children were failed by those sworn to protect them. Children’s Commissioner Rachel de Souza found nearly 3,000 children were strip-searched between 2018 and mid-2022 and more than half the searches were conducted without an appropriate adult present. The investigation was launched after a Black 15-year-old girl suspected of having marijuana was strip-searched at a London school in 2020 by two female officers without another adult present. The girl, identified as “Child Q,” was menstruating and no drugs were found. A previous report said racism was a likely factor for the humiliating search.“The bravery of a girl to speak up about a traumatic thing that happened to her” led to the report that found “widespread noncompliance” of safeguards and evidence of a “deeply concerning practice,” de Souza said. The findings fo...

North Korea test-fires 2 more missiles as US sends carrier

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 12:47:38 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles into its eastern waters Monday, continuing its weapons displays as the United States moved an aircraft carrier strike group to neighboring waters for military exercises with the South. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the two missiles were fired from a western inland area south of the North Korean capital of Pyongyang from around 7:47 a.m. to 8 a.m. and traveled around 370 kilometers (229 miles) before landing at sea. Japan’s military said the missiles flew on an “irregular” trajectory and reached a maximum altitude of 50 kilometers (31 miles) before landing outside Japan’s exclusive economic zone. Japan has previously used the term to describe a North Korean solid-fuel missile apparently modeled after Russia’s Iskander mobile ballistic system, which is designed to be maneuverable in low-altitude flight to better evade South Korean missile defenses. The launches came a day before the American airc...
