He remained there until Feb. 4, when he began driving north to Brooklyn, where his son and ex-wife live, Essig said. On Feb. 5, Sor was pulled over in South Carolina and cited for reckless driving and marijuana possession. He was then spotted in New Jersey on Sunday, a day before the mayhem in Brooklyn, Essig said.

Both sides declare victory after Governor Hochul and Congressman Zeldin debate

Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul and Republican challenger Congressman Lee Zeldin faced off at Pace University in Manhattan Tuesday night, which aired on Spectrum News NY1. It’s because I’m the governor of the State of New York and he’s not,” Hochul responded. Even the issue of a 1.4 billion dollar new Buffalo Bills stadium, funded in part by state tax dollars, brought fireworks.

I’m focused on 14 days from today, defeating Kathy Hochul and saving New York State.”Election Day is November 8th.

Lions owner says she is still confident in team’s leadership

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Lions owner Sheila Ford Hamp shared her frustration with the team’s 1-5 record and expressed confidence in the franchise’s leadership. “I believe in the leadership,” Hamp said when asked if Holmes and Campbell’s jobs were safe regardless of how the season ends. “It was extremely thorough, and we really believe we’ve come up with the right people.”So far, Holmes, Campbell and their players have not led a turnaround. The 71-year-old Hamp, whose great-grandfather, Henry Ford, founded Ford Motor Co., began attending Lions games when she was 5 and has witnessed decades of futility. “I really believe in the top leadership in this organization.

Column: Brady may join top 10 who should’ve stayed retired

Despite Ali's covering up as he does here, Holmes was pretty much able to pepper Ali at will. Holmes successfully defended his crown when Ali failed to answer the bell at the start of the 11th round. The Boston Celtics star retired in 1980 with two NBA championships, an MVP award and eight All-Star Game appearances. He won three more championships with the Chicago Bulls, and retired again in 1998 as the league’s MVP. With his skills shot, the 38-year-old Ali spent 10 rounds serving as a punching bag for the quicker, stronger Holmes.

German president arrives in Ukraine as tensions rise

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Germany’s president arrived in Kyiv Tuesday for his first visit to Ukraine since the start of Russia’s invasion, a trip that comes amid Moscow’s unsubstantiated warnings of a “dirty bomb” attack as the conflict enters its ninth month. The German president, whose position is largely ceremonial, made it to Ukraine on his third try. Citizens in the southern city of Mykolaiv lined up for water and essential supplies Tuesday as Ukrainian forces advanced on the nearby Russian-occupied city of Kherson. He told reporters a dirty bomb blast could contaminate thousands of square kilometers (miles). German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht on Monday dismissed as “outrageous” the Russian claim that Ukraine could use a dirty bomb.

Russia says it’s withdrawing from key city in Ukraine

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia’s military announced Wednesday that it’s withdrawing from Ukraine’s southern city of Kherson and nearby areas, in what would be another humiliating setback for Moscow’s forces in the 8-month-old war. The city, with a prewar population of 280,000, is the only regional capital to be captured by Russian forces since the Feb. 24 invasion began. Ukrainian forces had zeroed in on the strategic industrial city, which sits on the Dnieper River that divides the region and the country itself. In this photo provided by the Ukrainian Presidential Press Office, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, left, walks with U.S. actor Sean Penn after their meeting in Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022.
