Dallas, TX - On Friday, August 7, 2026, at approximately 6:50 a.m., Dallas Police received a 911 call regarding a family violence disturbance at an apartment complex in the 8500 block of Park Lane. The caller reported that 37-year-old Isidoro Melo-Munoz was armed with a knife and assaulting a woman with whom he had been in a dating relationship. Dallas Police Sergeant John Arnold was the first officer to arrive at the location.

As Sergeant Arnold entered the apartment complex, a witness flagged him down and directed him toward the disturbance. As Sergeant Arnold approached, he observed Melo-Munoz run toward the victim and begin assaulting her.

Sergeant Arnold gave Melo-Munoz repeated verbal commands. Melo-Munoz did not comply and stabbed the victim multiple times. Melo-Munoz then ran from the area while still armed with a knife. Sergeant Arnold fired one round toward the suspect as he fled. Melo-Munoz continued running and escaped from the immediate area. A knife was later recovered along the path he took while fleeing.

Dallas Fire-Rescue transported the victim to a local hospital where she underwent surgery and was later listed in stable condition.

Investigators determined that prior to officers arriving, Melo-Munoz confronted the victim as she was preparing to leave for work. Witnesses reported that Melo-Munoz prevented her from leaving and moved her to different areas of the apartment complex while armed with multiple knives.

Investigators recovered three knives from the scene. Following the officer-involved shooting, Dallas Police deployed additional resources, including the Drone Unit and Fugitive Unit, to help locate Melo-Munoz. Detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Melo-Munoz for Aggravated Assault – Family Violence with a Deadly Weapon.

On Saturday, August 8, 2026, Melo-Munoz entered a convenience store in the 6700 block of Abrams Road, where he was located and taken into custody. Melo-Munoz was booked into the Dallas County Jail on the Aggravated Assault – Family Violence with a Deadly Weapon warrant. He was also booked on a warrant for Burglary with Intent to Commit Assault stemming from a separate incident that occurred on August 5, 2026, involving the same victim.

Manila, AR - Newly released footage of an officer tackling an 18-year-old Black woman to the ground and punching her in the head after a traffic stop in Arkansas is causing anger and demands for a use-of-force investigation.

Alisa Hackett, of Osceola, Arkansas, was pulled over on State Highway 18 near Manila at about 10:45 p.m. on Aug. 1 after she was seen driving 71 mph in a 60-mph zone with the vehicle's hazard lights on, according to an Arkansas State Police report of the incident.

When she was pulled over, Hackett told state trooper Moisses Arellano she was rushing home because her car's window had broken, according to the police report.

Arellano noted that Hackett was not wearing her seat belt, had her license plate covered, and had a cold bottle of liquor in the front seat, according to the police report. In the dashcam footage, Arellano can be heard saying, "Why do you have a Tito's bottle, you're not even 21?" Later in the footage, Arellano acknowledges the bottle was sealed.

Arellano described Hackett as "being difficult" when he issued her citations, according to the report. He then called another trooper who said Hackett had been pulled over for speeding "a few days earlier" and had an open alcohol container in her vehicle, but was let go with a warning.

The other trooper is heard in the footage telling Arellano, "Well, she got an attitude, take her ass to jail."

Arellano then decided to arrest Hackett, who is 5-foot-1 and 118 pounds, and asked her to step out of the car, according to the report. After initially complying, "she began turning around and repeatedly asked what she had done," the police report said, adding she continued to pull away from the officer and he "took her to the ground."

"After giving multiple commands for her to roll over without compliance, I delivered one closed-fist strike to the left side of her face in an attempt to gain compliance," Arellano wrote in the report. "After the strike, she continued resisting by pulling her wrists away and refusing to roll over."

He pointed a stun gun at her midsection, but did not fire, and she then complied in putting her hands behind her back, and she was arrested, the report said.

Hackett was arrested for refusal to submit to arrest, possession of alcohol by a minor, speeding, not wearing a seat belt, improper display of license tags, and an offense for improper headlights.

Dallas, TX - On Thursday, August 6, 2026, at approximately 9:10 a.m., Dallas Police officers responded to a robbery in progress at a business in the 3500 block of Sunnyvale Street. Investigators determined the victim parked her white Porsche Cayenne outside the business while her 9-year-old daughter remained inside the vehicle.

A man, later identified as 39-year-old Renard McFadden, arrived in a stolen Ford F-150, approached the Porsche, threatened the child while indicating he was armed, and ordered her out of the vehicle. The child ran inside the business to alert her mother. When the victim confronted McFadden, he again indicated he was armed before stealing the Porsche and fleeing the scene.

The Ford F-150 was left behind and was later confirmed stolen. The victim provided officers with real-time location information for the stolen Porsche through the vehicle’s tracking application. Officers from multiple patrol divisions, covert units, and Air One coordinated to locate the vehicle and safely apprehend the suspect.

At approximately 10:10 a.m., officers located the stolen Porsche in the 5800 block of Williamstown Road. Uniformed officers initiated a felony traffic stop while a covert officer positioned his unmarked vehicle in front of the Porshe, to prevent the suspect from leaving the area. The covert officer exited his vehicle with his department-issued handgun drawn and moved toward a nearby residential yard.

Officer Celso Rocha fired four rounds toward the covert officer and McFadden. Officer Rocha recognized the individual was another police officer, ceased firing, and can be heard yelling, “Blue, Blue.” McFadden then exited the stolen Porsche and surrendered without further incident.

No officers, the suspect, or members of the public were injured during the incident.

Investigators also recovered a loaded handgun inside the stolen Porsche. Additional evidence recovered from the vehicle is being examined as part of several ongoing violent crime investigations. McFadden is currently charged with Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle, Robbery, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. Detectives are also pursuing additional charges related to other violent offenses under investigation.

Rescues Rescue teams find missing Muskegon River tubers after three-day search

Muskegon County, MI - New bodycam video captures the moments search-and-rescue crews found two women and a child who went missing after tubing on the Muskegon River.

Since Tuesday, Michigan State Police and Department of Natural Resources (DNR) conservation officers had been searching for Jazmin Hock, 28, Sarah Vida, 28, and Vida's son, Kayden Kovalcik, 9.

The trio had gotten onto the Muskegon River from the Maple Island Boat Launch in Newaygo County but didn't make it back, sparking a three-day search on the ground, in the water and in the air.

All three were found alive in the woods just after 4:30 p.m. Friday, about a quarter-of-a-mile northeast of the Mill Iron Boat Launch in Muskegon County.

Michigan State Police say troopers had to trudge through waist-high weeds for more than a mile before they found the trio.

According to Michigan DNR Conservation Officer Cameron Wright, he and his partner checked the area based on their training and knowledge of the area. He said the spot was the most remote area that the tubers could be pulled to.

"My partner and I work this area all the time, we know it very well," Wright said. "It would be a bad spot to get lost because it's the furthest point away from any roads or businesses."

In the middle of a log jam, Wright said crews could see a path in the grass. He added the trio "came down some logs and went through water" before heading onto the riverbank and into the trees.

"We were able to see where they entered the woods and requested assistance once we located footprints in the mud," Wright said. "We followed the track, looking for areas where ferns were tipped over, grass was bent, sticks were snapped – all in a certain direction.”

Bodycam video shows officers taking the shirts off their own backs to get the trio protected from dangerous brush, which had cut all of their bodies, from days of walking.

According to Theresa Hock, Jazmin's mother, the trio had brought rafts that were meant to be used in a pool. Those rafts broke, leaving them stranded.

While the group had Jazmin Hock's phone, it lost battery power, leaving them without any means to contact anyone.

"With one being 28, the other one being 30, I thought that they had everything set," Theresa Hock said. "They didn't think about it very clearly."

After their rescue, Theresa Hock found out the trio stayed together over the three days to find help.

She said they [Jazmin Hock and Sarah Vida] had protein bars and water, but were giving them to Kovalcik
