Police Believe Tyreek Hill Did Not Break Son’s Arm
TYREEK HILL
The investigation into whether or not Tyreek Hill abused his son has been closed, and police reportedly believe the Kansas City Chiefs star was not responsible for the boy’s broken arm.
Prosecutors confirmed last week that the probe involving Hill is no longer active. Ac- cording to a new report from Kevin Kietzman of Sports Radio 810 WHB, authorities believe after investigating that neither Hill nor his fiancee Crystal Espinal played a role in their 3-year-old son breaking his arm. After an ex- amination from a medical staff, investigators “almost im- mediately” concluded that the boy’s broken arm was the re- sult of reaching out to brace a fall in a typical toddler acci- dent.
The report goes on to state that Espinal asked a third party to call police and blame Hill for the injury. Espinal later admitted she was trying to shame Hill because she felt he had become too controlling and abusive.
Both Hill and Espinal re- portedly admitted to physi- cally disciplining the boy with their hands and a belt, and au- thorities found bruises and welts on the child’s body after investigating. However, pros- ecutors reportedly felt they could not establish if either parent went too far with the discipline.
Winslow, II Found Guilty
Of Rape, Lewd Conduct
Involving 3 Women
Former NFL player Kellen Winslow, II is facing some eight years in prison after a Southern California jury found him guilty Monday of rape and lewd conduct charges in which three women were violated.
The Vista, Calif., jury failed to come to a decision on eight other charges involving an- other two women, and the judge instructed the jurors to return to deliberations Tues- day in hopes they will reach a verdict, Fox 5 San Diego re- ports.
Winslow, the 35-year-old son of former San Diego Chargers great Kellen Winslow, was charged last year with multiple counts of rape, kidnapping, lewd con- duct and public exposure in- volving multiple women. The crimes allegedly took place over a span of 15 years from 2003 to 2018, including one Winslow was accused of committing while he was out on bail on the other charges.
Winslow, who played on four NFL teams between 2003 and 2014, either outright de- nied the charges or claimed the encounters were consen- sual.
Winslow was initially charged last summer with raping Jane Doe 1 and 2 in

Encinitas in early 2018, as well as exposing himself to Jane Doe 3 in her yard. Fol- lowing his highly publicized arrest, Jane Doe 4 subse- quently came forward to al- lege that he raped her in 2003 at a home in Scripps Ranch, when she was 17 and he was 19.
Earlier this year, while Winslow was out on bail, he was arrested for exposing himself to Jane Doe 5 at a Carlsbad gym. Bail was re- voked following his arrest in that case.
Winslow on Monday was found guilty of raping Jane Doe 2, as well as of indecent exposure involving Jane Doe 3, and lewd contact with Jane Doe 5.
He faces up to eight years in prison for the rape and an- other six months for the inde- cent exposure and lewd conduct convictions.

Oakland Raiders Selected To Appear On ‘Hard Knocks’
History In 200m
Cash was a four-time All-
LSU Freshman
Sha’Carri Richardson
Breaks Collegiate
Record In 100m, Makes
The Oakland Raiders built a roster of characters that were meant for HBO’s “Hard Knocks.”
Fittingly, they were an- nounced Tuesday as the team that will be featured on the training camp show.
“If you’re a fan of football or great storytelling, HARD KNOCKS with the Oakland
Raiders is going to be must- see television,” HBO Sports executive vice president Peter Nelson said. “We are so grateful to this storied fran- chise for opening up its doors and allowing HBO and NFL Films to spend the summer with the Raiders in what promises to be a compelling and engaging training camp.”
LSU freshman Sha’Carri Richardson is fast. Just how fast? Fast enough to break the women’s 100-meter collegiate record and celebrate midway through the race.
Richardson finished the race with a record-breaking time of 10.75 seconds on Sat- urday, the final day of the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships.
She was so fast that as the race was ending, she threw her arms up in celebration without having crossed the finish line yet.
Richardson’s win broke the record held by LSU’s Dawn Sowell of 10.78, a record that stood since 1989.
With the win, Richard- son also became the world junior record holder and now holds the fastest time in the world this year. Per FloTrack, Richardson is the ninth- fastest performer in world history.
SHA’CARRI RICHARDSON
Heading into the day, Richardson told reporters that she didn’t give herself a target time.
“Coming into today, I never gave myself a time because I said [to myself] ‘If you give yourself a goal, you limit yourself. As long you expect greatness out of yourself, you will deliver greatness that you think you are able to achieve and even more,” Richard- son said.
