An Elizabeth man aged 21 is charged with hindering apprehension and a few traffic violations for stating a false name to the police when he got pulled over. He had told the police officer he went by the name of Richard Tiru, but when he signed some documents, police wondered why he signed a different name. Turns out Tiru is not really Tiru, but Kyle C. Gonzalez. He had told the cop that he had left his license at home. Gonzalez was trying to avoid the consequences of having a suspended license, and by doing so he ended up in jail. Bail was $2,500 and Gonzalez was released almost immediately after.

The woman, Nabielas McCray, 26, was a nother victim that feared the consequences of driving with a suspended license. When the cops walked over to her window, McCray decided to speed away. The cops chased after her for a short amount of time. They decided to stop the chase because they noticed the one year old child in the car and did not want to put him in any danger. The cops then found McCray walking along the sidewalk and arrested her. They checked her phone to find out where she had dropped off the child. The child was at her mother’s house and they also learned she had left a 6 year old boy at home alone as well. Both children were taken in until their father came by to pick them up.

In Sports…

It turns out Jason Collins is in fact NOT the first sports player to come out of the closet. In 1976 a baseball player names Glenn Burke was a gay man and claimed he had nothing to hide. However Burke knew the media was nowhere near ready for society to have a gay baseball player.

When your lingerie shots don't get enough attention, the solution is simple: Take off your bra!

Well, that seems to be the Amanda Bynesplan, at least. On Wednesday, after tweeting some sexed-up selfies the day before, the 27-year-old actress upped the ante with some completely topless photos.

In the first shot, the erstwhile Nickelodeon darling wears nothing but a gold watch, a wrist cuff and some kind of underwear/ripped-tights combo. Amanda scrunches up her face as she (kinda) covers up her assets with her long hair and arms across her chest. She captioned said shot simply "Rawr!"

Actually, Jason Collins Isn't the First Openly Gay Man in a Major Pro Sport

Major-league baseball player Glenn Burke was comfortably out to his teammates and friends in 1976—but back then, it was the press that wasn't ready for a gay male athlete.

A few months back, the Baltimore Ravens' Brendon Ayanbadejo, an outspoken advocate for LGBT rights, told USA Today that he thought the first player in the three major sports to out himself would be a baseball player: "The religious roots are a lot deeper in basketball and football. With that being said, I think baseball players are more open-minded."

What Ayanbadejo didn't know was that one baseball player already had. This week's coming out by NBA player Jason Collins is momentous, but the Jackie Robinson of gay rights was Glenn Burke, who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers and Oakland A's from 1976 to 1979. He tried to change sports culture three decades ago—but back then, unlike now, sports culture wasn't ready for a change.

RELATED STORY

Burke made no secret of his sexual orientation to the Dodgers front office, his teammates, or friends in either league. He also talked freely with sportswriters, though all of them ended up shaking their heads and telling him they couldn't writethat in their papers. Burke was so open about his sexuality that the Dodgers tried to talk him into participating in a sham marriage. (He wrote in his autobiography that the team offered him $75,000 to go along with the ruse.) He refused. In a bit of irony that would seem farcical if it wasn't so tragic, one of the Dodgers who tried to talk Burke into getting "married," was his manager, Tommy Lasorda, whose son Tom Jr. died from AIDS complications in 1991. To this day, Lasorda Sr. refuses to acknowledge his son's homosexuality.

Burke, who also died of AIDS-related causes in 1995, came out to the world outside baseball in a 1982 article for Inside Sports and even followed it up shortly after with an appearance on The Today Show with Bryant Gumbel. But his story was greeted by the rest of the news media and the baseball establishment, including Burke's former teammates and baseball commissioner Bowie Kuhn, with silence. Even his superb autobiography, Out at Home, which published the year he died, failed to stir open conversation about homosexuality in sports. Practically no one in the sports-writing community would acknowledge that Burke was gay or report stories that followed up on his admission.

NEW: A politician and his son are gunned down in Karachi

·         Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali is shot dead heading to court in Rawalpindi

·         Ali was trying the case of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Gunmen in Pakistan killed a leading prosecutor working on high-profile terrorism cases and an anti-Taliban politician and his son, the latest violence ahead of next week's national elections.

Chaudhry Zulfiqar Ali was heading to a court in Rawalpindi, where he was trying a case stemming from the death of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who was assassinated while she was campaigning for her party.

Ali's attackers opened fire on his car as it passed through an Islamabad neighborhood, police said.

He was rushed to a hospital, but died before arrival, said hospital spokesman Dr. Wasim

The ambush also wounded his bodyguard, whom authorities assigned to protect him after he received threats from the Pakistani Taliban, according to police spokesman Javed Hussain.

The unidentified gunmen fled and are still at large, police officials said.

In Karachi, gunmen on a motorbike shot and killed Sadiq Zaman Khattak and his 4-year-old son when they were leaving a mosque, said Zahid Khan of Awami National Party, an anti-Taliban liberal party.

Khattak, representing the Awami National Party, had been a candidate for a seat in the National Assembly. No one claimed responsibility for the attack, and Khan blamed "interim government" and election officials.

(CNN) -- A military judge on Wednesday set a May 29 court-martial for U.S. Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who is charged in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in November 2009 that left 13 people dead.

Hasan is charged with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder charges for the alleged shootings at the post's processing center, where soldiers were preparing to deploy to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Hasan's court-martial has been repeatedly delayed since it was initially set to begin in March 2012, most notably after an appeals court delayed the case over the question of whether the Army major's beard could be forcibly shaved.

(CNN) -- A Kentucky mother stepped outside of her home just for a few minutes, but it was long enough for her 5-year-old son to accidentally shoot and kill his 2-year-old sister with the .22-caliber rifle he got for his birthday, state officials said.

The shooting that took the life of Caroline Sparks in southern Kentucky has been ruled an accident, Kentucky State Police Trooper Billy Gregory said.

"It's just one of those nightmares," he said, "a quick thing that happens when you turn your back."

Young children in the area are often introduced to guns at an early age, Gregory said.

Ferguson: Irresponsible humans, not guns

"In this part of the country, it's not uncommon for a 5-year-old to have a gun or for a parent to pass one down to their kid," he said.

Her family kept the Crickett rifle in what they considered to be a safe spot, Cumberland County Coroner Gary White told the CNN affiliate.

The boy was playing with it Tuesday when it accidentally went off and killed his sister, White said.

"The little Crickett rifle is a single-shot rifle, and it has a child safety," White told CNN. "It's just a tragic situation."

Piers Morgan interviews Lee Heist, whose wife Brenda disappeared for 11 years on Piers Morgan Live tonight, 9pm ET

(CNN) -- A Pennsylvania woman who mysteriously disappeared 11 years ago has resurfaced in Florida, saying that she just walked out on her family, her life and her problems.

Brenda Heist, 54, turned herself into authorities in Key Largo, Florida on Friday, informing them that she thought she might be wanted in another county.

The responding officer checked her name and saw that she was listed as "missing and possibly deceased" from Lititz, Pennsylvania, according to a news release from the Monroe County Sheriff's Office in Florida.

Authorities in Monroe County immediately contacted the Lititz Borough Police, informing them that Heist was in their custody.

After exchanging pictures and details, Detective Sgt. John Schofield confirmed that it was indeed the Brenda Heist he had been searching for since 2002.

"Two days later, I flew down to Florida to meet with her," said Schofield.

ELIZABETH — A city woman faces charges of fleeing from police with a 1-year-old son in the car and running through a red light to elude officers.

Police first stopped Nabielas McCray, 26, at 10:26 p.m. Wednesday on South Spring Street, for talking on her cell phone while driving, Lt. Daniel Saulnier said. Officers discovered her license was suspended, and when the officers approached the car and saw the child in a car seat, McCray sped away, Saulnier said. He said police briefly pursued her but broke off the chase because of the child.

Officers broadcast an alert, and about 30 minutes later, police found McCray walking on Catherine Street in the city, but without the child, Saulnier said.

When McCray refused to give the location of the child, officers flooded the area looking for her car and the son, the lieutenant said.

He said the officers found the car on Catherine Street, but the child was not there. Then police checked McCray's cell phone and saw she had recently called one number numerous times. Police called that number, discovered it was McCray's mother and learned McCray had dropped the child off at her mother's home, Saulnier said.

Police took the infant to Trinitas Hospital in the city, along with a 6-year-old brother who officers discovered had been left home alone while the mother was out in the car, Saulnier said.

He said both children were later released to their father.

McCray, now faces charges of eluding officers and endangering the welfare of a child. She was being held without bail this morning.

Saulnier commended Officers Herbert Gonzales and Lysandra Alvarado for breaking off the chase.

"The decision to terminate the pursuit was an excellent one. What if something would have happened while the baby was in the car," he said.

LINDEN — A Linden man was arrested on charges he sold heroin along North Wood Avenue, police said.

Nicholas P. Lazo III, 33, was allegedly caught Wednesday night with 50 folds of heroin, after police set up a surveillance operation in response to complaints of the drug being sold in the vicinity of Dunkin Donuts.

Lazo was charged with possession and distribution of heroin, and distribution within 500 feet of a park zone and 1,000 feet of Public School No. 1. He also had three contempt warrants out of Linden.

He is being held in lieu of $75,000 bail, with a court date set for May 10.

ROSELLE PARK — A 21-year-old Elizabeth man was charged with hindering apprehension at approximately 9:30 a.m. on April 26 after allegedly giving a false name to police. Kyle C. Gonzalez identified himself as Richard Tiru of Linden after he was pulled over on Galloping Hill Road by Patrolman John Fitzgerald, police said. He claimed to have forgotten his license at home.

As part of the on-scene investigation, "Tiru" complied when he was asked to sign a police document, but he signed what turned out to be his real name, police said. He was speechless when asked why he had signed a different name and an inquiry into the name confirmed his true identity, police said.

Gonzalez was found to have a suspended N.J. driver's license and two traffic warrants totaling $279 from East Hanover and Roseland. He was charged with hindering apprehension and several traffic violations and bail was set at $2,500. He was released after posting bail in full.
