Three-year-old girl killed, pregnant mother injured after alleged drag racers split car in half in Arizona
A 3-year-old girl died last week after a high-speed crash that split a car in half and left her pregnant mother injured at an intersection in Tucson, Arizona, leading to second-degree murder charges against two alleged drag racers, ages 22 and 16.
Officers responded around 1 p.m. April 10 to the intersection, where a silver Toyota Camry and a white Hyundai Genesis collided in what investigators described as a violent, high-impact crash.
The child, who was properly secured in a car seat, was rushed to a hospital but later died from her injuries. An adult woman driving the Camry was also seriously injured. The Genesis driver suffered minor injuries.
A GoFundMe that the victims’ family created for funeral and medical expenses identified the toddler as Anna, "a bright, joyful, and loving little girl."
1-YEAR-OLD INJURED AFTER TEEN DRIVER CRASHES CAR OFF OKLAHOMA BRIDGE
"In this heartbreaking moment, we lost our sweet Anna, their beloved three-year-old daughter tragically passed away from her injuries from the collision," the family said in the fundraiser post.
The fundraiser identified the adult female as Anna’s mother, who it said is nine months pregnant. It said she was recovering at a hospital while "facing every parent’s worst nightmare" in the "unimaginable loss" of her youngest daughter.
Investigators said the Genesis was racing another vehicle, believed to be a multicolored Dodge Charger, at speeds far above the limit when it struck the Camry as it attempted a left turn, splitting the vehicle in half. The Dodge Charger fled the scene.
ILLEGAL MIGRANT CHARGED IN DEADLY 124 MPH CHASE THAT KILLED PREGNANT TEEN, UNBORN CHILD
Police arrested Christian Isaiah Randall, the 22-year-old driver of the Genesis, and charged him with second-degree murder, along with multiple counts of endangerment and aggravated assault. He is being held on a $500,000 bond.
The driver of the second vehicle was identified as a 16-year-old boy on Sunday after investigators said they located the Dodge Charger involved in the incident.
The boy was arrested and charged with second-degree murder and multiple counts of endangerment and aggravated assault. Police said he was booked into the Pima County Juvenile Detention Center.
Authorities said excessive speed was the primary cause of the crash, though the investigation remains ongoing.
Trump meets US ambassador to China as tensions flare ahead of Xi showdown
President Donald Trump is set to meet with U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue Tuesday, as the administration prepares for a high-stakes summit between the U.S. president and Chinese President Xi Jinping in May.
The talks are expected to focus on both escalating tensions in the Middle East and the broader U.S.–China relationship, as Washington weighs its approach to Beijing ahead of the summit.
The meeting comes just after the U.S. launched a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, where China remains the largest buyer of Iranian crude amid the conflict between the U.S., Iran and Israel.
The blockade risks pulling China more directly into the conflict. Any effort to enforce it against shipments bound for China could trigger a confrontation between the world’s two largest economies.
US, CHINA AGREE TO OPEN DIRECT MILITARY HOTLINE AFTER XI-TRUMP SUMMIT
"This will only aggravate confrontation, escalate tension, undermine the already fragile ceasefire and further jeopardize safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said of the blockade Tuesday. "It is a dangerous and irresponsible move."
The meeting also comes amid reports that China supplied Iran with weapons, which Chinese officials dismissed as "completely made up." Trump has threatened China with 50% tariffs if the reports are accurate.
Meanwhile, Washington and Beijing remain locked in a fragile tariff standoff.
After the 2025 escalation pushed tariffs above 100% on both sides, the two countries agreed to a temporary rollback that lowered U.S. duties on Chinese goods to around 30% and China’s tariffs on American exports to roughly 10%. That truce has held into 2026, but core disputes over technology, market access and national security remain unresolved, with both sides continuing negotiations ahead of the planned summit.
The U.S. has escalated economic pressure beyond tariffs: the Trump administration has moved to eliminate a key loophole that allowed Chinese goods valued under $800 to enter the U.S. duty-free, a step targeting companies like Temu and Shein and affecting millions of shipments.
Despite rising economic tensions, U.S. military posture toward China remains more restrained.
The Trump administration’s national security and defense strategies prioritize defending the homeland above overseas conflicts, even as they identify China as the top long-term threat. Recent intelligence assessments have also downplayed the likelihood of an imminent Chinese invasion of Taiwan, finding no fixed timeline for military action, suggesting Washington is focused more on deterrence than preparing for direct conflict.
The White House could not immediately be reached for comment on the purpose of the meeting.
Graham Platner blames Nazi tattoo on military ‘culture,’ draws backlash from GOP veterans
Progressive U.S. Senate candidate Graham Platner defended his past controversial statements and behavior during a Friday interview, attributing some of his prior views to the "culture" he experienced during his military service and prompting backlash from Republican lawmakers and veterans.
Platner, a Democrat running in Maine's Senate primary, told host Major Garrett on CBS News' "The Takeout" podcast that his time in the U.S. Army shaped earlier beliefs he no longer holds.
"I came out of a hyper-masculine, hyper-violent place," Platner said. "We have a crude sense of humor in the infantry… we certainly have a, I would say, narrow view of a lot of topics. And that colored my opinions and my beliefs."
The comments came as Platner addressed scrutiny over past Reddit posts, a Nazi tattoo and other controversies tied to his earlier conduct. Platner said his evolution stemmed from exposure to different perspectives following his service.
"Once I left and came out and interacted in the civilian world with lots of different people with very different experiences than my own," he said. "Many of those beliefs and thoughts and even just language changed significantly over time."
The remarks drew criticism from Republican officials with military backgrounds, who pushed back on the suggestion that such views are reflective of American military culture.
Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., a retired Air Force general, responded to the comments on X by rejecting the characterization outright.
"I served nearly 30 years and never saw a Nazi tattoo on one of our servicemen or women," Bacon said.
MAINE SENATE CANDIDATE CITES COMBAT TRAUMA WHEN CONFRONTED ON 'TERRIBLE' POSTS ABOUT SEXUAL ASSAULT
Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont., a former Navy SEAL, also criticized Platner’s explanation in a post on X.
"I must have missed the day in basic training where they taught us to get Nazi tattoos and say women deserve to be raped," Sheehy said.
Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., a Marine Corps veteran, similarly dismissed the claim that military culture contributed to the behavior in question.
"Blame the Marine Corps for Nazi tattoos and rape comments? Wasn’t in my training manual," Young wrote.
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, argued that Platner’s comments broadly mischaracterized service members.
"Democrat candidate with a Nazi SS tattoo explains why he got that tattoo — essentially, that the US military are ALL ‘narrow’ minded, ‘hyper-violent’ Nazis," Cruz wrote. "This is FALSE, and slanderous to our servicemen & women."

Platner acknowledged that not all of his past actions could be attributed solely to his military experience, while maintaining that it played a significant role in shaping earlier viewpoints.
"I’ve never laid the entire fault... at the feet of only post-traumatic stress," he told Garrett. "Some of that was not because of my combat service, but much of it was because of the culture I had come out of."
5th accuser comes forward against Rep Eric Swalwell ahead of expected resignation
Another woman accused Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., of sexual assault on Tuesday, just hours before the embattled lawmaker is expected to resign from the House.
The accuser came forward after four women alleged Swalwell committed sexual misconduct and rape, including at least one incident involving a former staffer, as reported by CNN and the San Francisco Chronicle.
The announcement came during a news conference in Beverly Hills, Calif., organized by the women’s attorney, Lisa Bloom.
Swalwell has repeatedly denied any criminal wrongdoing and has promised to fight "false" accusations.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said he expected Swalwell to offer his resignation letter on Tuesday.
When asked whether he agreed with the decision of Swalwell and scandal-plagued Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, to resign, Jeffries replied, "Yes."
This is a developing story and will be updated.
Why your home Wi-Fi needs more than just a strong password
If you've locked down your home Wi-Fi with a strong password, you're already ahead of the game. But here's the reality: a password alone isn't enough to keep your online activity private.
Most people think of Wi-Fi security as simply keeping strangers off their network. And while that matters, it's only part of the picture. Even with a secure password, your internet activity can still be visible to others in ways you might not expect.
A Wi-Fi password keeps people out, but it does not hide what happens inside your connection.

DO YOU NEED A VPN AT HOME? HERE ARE 10 REASONS YOU DO
When you connect to the internet at home, your internet service provider (ISP) can see a surprising amount of what you do online. That can include the websites you visit, how long you spend on them and sometimes even more detailed activity.
In some cases, that data can be:
And it's not just your ISP. Websites, apps, big tech companies, governments and data brokers are constantly collecting information about your behavior, often without you realizing it. Think of it this way: your password locks the front door, but once your data leaves your house, it can still be exposed along the way. That's where a VPN comes in.
A virtual private network (VPN) creates a secure, encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet. That means your data is scrambled before it leaves your home network, making it much harder for anyone to see what you're doing online.
In addition, connecting to a VPN server gives you a new IP address, so your online activity can't be easily traced back to you. This makes it harder for advertisers, social networks and scammers to construct behavioral profiles, which can be used to target you with things like phishing attacks.
With a VPN:
SPRING CLEAN YOUR DIGITAL FOOTPRINT: WHY RETIREES ARE SCAM TARGETS
Many VPN services are popular for their speed, simplicity and overall feature sets. This becomes even more important if you ever use public Wi-Fi, where your data is far more exposed.
What does this mean in practice?
For starters, most VPN services are easy to use. They offer apps for nearly every device imaginable, including options that work directly with routers. These apps are straightforward to set up and configure.
Once running, a single click or tap is all it takes to change your virtual location, mask your IP address and encrypt your connection. High-speed servers mean they don't fall into the trap of slowing you down. In many cases, using a VPN can even provide more consistent, reliable speeds.
With a more anonymous IP address, your ISP is also less able to throttle (cap) your connection speeds, as some providers do.
Setting up a VPN on your router protects every device in your home automatically, including smart TVs, gaming consoles and other connected devices.
Many VPN providers now go beyond basic protection and offer additional privacy tools. These can include password managers, email protection, identity monitoring and even private AI tools designed to keep your data more secure.
In short, it's no longer just about securing your connection, it's about protecting your entire digital footprint.
Your home Wi-Fi is the gateway to everything you do online banking, shopping, working and staying connected. Relying on just a password is like locking your door but leaving the curtains wide open.
Adding a VPN gives you an extra layer of privacy that works quietly in the background while enhancing every corner of your digital life.
It's about being prepared, sure. But it's also about peace of mind.
5 SIMPLE TECH TIPS TO IMPROVE DIGITAL PRIVACY
For the best VPN software, see my expert review of the best VPNs for browsing the web privately on your Windows, Mac, Android and iOS devices at CyberGuy.com.
A strong password is a smart first step, but it only protects who gets onto your network, not what happens to your data after it leaves. Your internet activity still passes through systems designed to track, analyze and sometimes profit from it. Adding a VPN shifts the balance back in your favor by encrypting your connection and limiting how much others can see. It is a simple upgrade that turns basic security into real privacy, without changing how you use the internet day to day.

Titanic survivor life jacket set to fetch staggering price as anniversary nears
A rare life jacket worn by a Titanic survivor is set to be auctioned more than a century after the disaster.
The flotation device, used by first-class passenger Laura Mabel Francatelli during the ship’s 1912 sinking, is expected to sell for roughly $339,000 to $475,000, news agency Cover Media reported.
Francatelli wore the life jacket as she boarded Lifeboat No. 1 after the Titanic struck an iceberg just before midnight on April 14, 1912. She later signed the item along with seven other survivors from the same lifeboat.
The life jacket remained in her family for decades before being acquired by a private collector about 20 years ago.
It is believed to be one of only a handful of Titanic life jackets still in existence — and the only one ever offered at auction, Cover Media noted.
Auctioneers at Henry Aldridge & Son said the item has generated global interest ahead of the sale, which is scheduled to take place April 18.
Francatelli, who was just 22 at the time, boarded the Titanic in France and was traveling as a secretary to fashion designer Lady Lucy Duff Gordon and her husband, Sir Cosmo Duff Gordon.

She later recalled being told not to worry as she was helped into a life preserver before making her way to the ship’s deck, where lifeboats were being lowered.
The group ultimately boarded Lifeboat No. 1 — which had a capacity of about 40 people but was launched with only 12 on board.
The lifeboat later became the subject of controversy after its occupants did not return to rescue others in the water. Reports at the time also raised questions about payments made by Sir Cosmo to crew members, though the circumstances were widely debated.

The survivors were eventually picked up by the RMS Carpathia, which arrived hours after the Titanic sank and rescued more than 700 passengers.
Francatelli later returned to Britain and married Swiss-born hotel manager Maximilian Haering in 1913.
The couple eventually moved to New York, where they worked in the hospitality industry and operated hotels together.
After her husband’s death, she returned to the United Kingdom — where she spent the remainder of her life until her death in 1967.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
The cream-colored life jacket, made of canvas with cork-filled sections, has been displayed at museums in both the United States and Europe.
"There are only a handful of life jackets worn by survivors which still exist today," auctioneer Andrew Aldridge told Cover Media, adding that most are held in museums and are unlikely to be sold.
The upcoming sale is expected to draw collectors and history enthusiasts from all over the world.
Trump admin-Mamdani clash over Stonewall monument reaches final decision
A two-month legal battle over an iconic symbol of the LGBTQ+ movement has ended, with a settlement approving its restoration and New York City’s mayor hailing the decision as a "victory."
The Trump administration agreed under a settlement on Monday to restore the Pride flag to Stonewall National Monument’s federal flagpole within seven days and maintain it there, removing it only for maintenance or other practical purposes. A judge approved the agreement, resolving the dispute over the flag’s removal.
The Stonewall National Monument was first designated by President Barack Obama in 2016, protecting the Stonewall Inn in New York City as a historic site – becoming the first U.S. national monument dedicated to LGBTQ history.
The ruling reins in the Trump administration’s push to eliminate diversity-related programs across national parks, after the flag’s removal in February sparked protests from Democratic leaders and activists and escalated into a broader political flashpoint.
"This is a victory for the LGBTQ+ community and for our entire city," wrote Mayor Zohran Mamdani in an X on Monday. "It’s a reminder that New Yorkers won’t let our history be rewritten."
He added that, "Our administration will keep working to ensure LGBTQ+ New Yorkers can live safely and with dignity in our city."
Fox News Digital reached out to the mayor’s office for comment on Tuesday.
MASSACHUSETTS DROPS CONTROVERSIAL GENDER IDEOLOGY MANDATE FOR LICENSING FOSTER CARE PARENTS
At the time of the flag removal, Mamdani said he was "outraged," calling for the country to live up to the legacy the Stonewall Inn represents, while a Department of Interior spokesperson previously told Fox News Digital that "city leaders seem more focused on theatrics than solutions."
"Hundreds of families in New York City went without power during this year’s severe cold weather, people are being found dead on the streets, and trash has piled up so high it towers over city residents. This is Mayor Mamdani and city officials' New York City," the spokesperson said at the time.
They added, "it would be a better use of their time to get the trash buildup off city streets, ensure there are no more avoidable deaths, and work to keep the power on for the people of New York City."
The Washington Litigation Group (WLG), which initiated legal proceedings, announced the agreement through a press release, writing, the decision "confirms that the Pride flag falls within the law and NPS policy."
JUDGE DEALS BLOW TO TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, ORDERS SLAVERY EXHIBIT RESTORED AT ICONIC PHILLY LANDMARK
"The government has acknowledged what we argued from day one: the Pride flag belongs at Stonewall," wrote WLG lead counsel Alexander Kristofcak. "The flag will be restored and it will fly officially and permanently. And we will remain vigilant to ensure that the government sticks to the deal."
Fox News Digital reached out to WLG for additional comment.
"The removal of the Pride flag from Stonewall was an attempt to erase LGBTQ+ history and undermine the rule of law," said Andrew Berman, executive director of Village Preservation. "This settlement restores both."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer celebrated the decision on X, writing, "the administration was forced to settle and heed our demands that the pride flag at Stonewall National Monument will always fly freely and proudly."
In December, National Park Service (NPS) units were instructed to purge gift stores at parks, removing any items that promote DEI and gender ideological extremism.
Many NPS gift shops are located in visitor centers, which are common in major parks. Some can be found in smaller or remote parks.
Most shops are run by nonprofit partners of the NPS, with funds benefiting visitors and the parks.

Mike Johnson says he supports expelling Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick over dozens of ethics violations
Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, an embattled Florida lawmaker facing a pending criminal indictment, could be the next member of Congress to face expulsion.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters Tuesday that he would support expelling Cherfilus-McCormick from Congress, citing a bipartisan adjudicatory subcommittee finding her guilty of more than two dozen ethics violations in March.
"The Ethics Committee has gone through all of its processes, and they found some alarming facts," Johnson said. "I think the facts are indisputable at this point, and so I believe it will be the consensus of this body that she should be expelled."
The ethics panel’s guilty verdict was the culmination of a yearslong investigation during which the group interviewed hundreds of individuals and reviewed tens of thousands of documents.
LAWMAKERS PUT EXPULSION THREATS ATOP HOUSE AGENDA AS RETURN SETS UP HIGH-STAKES WEEK
Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., has pledged to introduce an expulsion resolution against Cherfilus-McCormick, but he said he would wait until the ethics panel releases its recommended punishment against the Florida Democrat. The group is scheduled to hold a hearing announcing its suggested sanction for Cherfilus-McCormick next week.
Cherfilus-McCormick has continued to deny any wrongdoing and has not signaled that she is considering resigning. The Florida Democrat is also running for reelection ahead of the state’s August primary.
It takes a two-thirds majority to expel a lawmaker, meaning a significant number of Democrats would have to support ousting Cherfilus-McCormick for Steube’s measure to be successful.
Just a handful of Democrats, including Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez, D-Wash., have so far voiced support for Cherfilus-McCormick’s resignation if she does not step down.
Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, announced plans to resign Monday after both lawmakers faced potential expulsion votes this week. Both men have been accused of sexual misconduct and are under investigation by the House Ethics Committee.
Johnson said Tuesday it was "the appropriate thing" for both men to resign, citing the allegations against them.
JEFFRIES DECLINES TO BREAK WITH INDICTED DEMOCRAT AFTER ETHICS PANEL'S GUILTY VERDICT
House Democratic leadership has largely stood by Cherfilus-McCormick despite the House Ethics Committee’s findings. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., has indicated that he will not comment on Cherfilus-McCormick’s fate until the House ethics panel finishes its deliberations.
If Republicans move forward with expelling Cherfilus-McCormick, Democrats could offer a retaliatory measure seeking to oust scandal-ridden Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla.
Mills is currently under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for a range of allegations, including domestic violence and campaign finance violations. He has maintained his innocence and is seeking reelection.
Johnson told reporters Tuesday that he would check the status of the Mills probe.
Cherfilus-McCormick is facing more than five decades in prison for allegedly stealing millions in disaster relief funds to finance her run for Congress and purchase luxury items. She is also accused of participating in a straw donor scheme and conspiring to file a false federal tax return.
Fox News Digital reached out to Cherfilus-McCormick's office for comment.
Critics blast Democrats after Swalwell resignation, say saga shows ‘how politics really works’
Anger over the sexual abuse allegations that led to Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., resigning from Congress is reaching a fever pitch as one critic claimed the saga exposes "how politics really works" in the United States.
While maintaining his innocence, Swalwell, a seven-term congressman and former Democratic presidential candidate, announced Monday he would resign from Congress following sexual assault allegations from multiple former staffers. On the same day, Rep. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, who admitted to an affair with a staffer who later died by suicide, also announced his resignation from Congress. Their departures have prompted new calls to purge Congress of perpetrators of sexual abuse.
After Swalwell announced his resignation, Dale Stark, a political pundit and veteran, reacted, "The Swalwell saga perfectly shows how politics really works in America. They’ve had this dirt on him for years and sat on it until he stepped out of line."
Stark added that this "explains why no matter who you vote for, you get the same results," adding, "One nation under blackmail."
ERIC SWALWELL ACCUSED OF PAYING NANNY WITH CAMPAIGN FUNDS WHILE SHE LACKED WORK AUTHORIZATION
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took a similar line, decrying the Democratic leadership for not taking action against Swalwell sooner.
"The Democrat Party was aware of this guy’s behavior but never said anything until the party was threatened with getting shut out of the governor race," DeSantis wrote.
Until these allegations surfaced, Swalwell was a frontrunner in the California gubernatorial race to succeed term-limited Gov. Gavin Newsom. Swalwell announced he was suspending his campaign for governor on Sunday. His sudden ouster, however, has many speculating that deeper forces are at play.
Conservative pundit and podcaster Michael Knowles suggested Swalwell’s ouster was the result of political maneuvering by the Democrats.
"So the Dems improve their chances in the CA gov race and also avoid putting their members on record in a vote to expel, and all it cost them was a replaceable congressman, whose seat will now be filled by another Dem," he wrote. "Gotta give the devils their due: they're good at the game."
Kari Lake, a former Republican candidate for both Arizona governor and senator, reacted that she is "glad Eric Swalwell is finally on his way out of Congress," but cautioned, "He should take the rest of the creeps with him. Washington is infested with them."
"The American people are fed up with this depraved, disgusting behavior from our so-called leaders," she wrote on X. "It's time to restore basic decency, respect, & real accountability in our nation's capital."
Pundit Scott Jennings reacted, "Democrats and people in the media are openly admitting something shameful and horrifying: They ALL KNEW about Eric Swalwell."
"They said nothing, leaving the victims to suffer in silence. But why? The answer is obvious," he went on. "To protect this Looney Tunes Eric Swalwell because he was good at going out and attacking Donald Trump. I mean, let’s be honest, that’s why he was under their protection."
Meanwhile, some suggested that there are more members of Congress who must be ousted.
SWALWELL’S FORMER DEM RIVAL UNLOADS ON HIS ‘LIGHTWEIGHT’ CAREER AS SEXUAL ASSAULT ALLEGATIONS EMERGE
Madison Cawthorn, a former Republican congressman who sparked backlash after alleging he was invited to an orgy by fellow lawmakers and had witnessed cocaine use, wrote a cryptic post that "Swalwell is not the only one."
"I warned you all about what goes on in Washington. Why is everyone acting surprised?" Cawthorn wrote on X.
California homeowner confronts intruder with shovel after man allegedly breaks in asking for daughter
A man in California was caught on Ring camera trying to break into someone's home demanding to know where their daughter was, only to be confronted by the homeowner, according to police.
Jason Nichols, 30, faces charges of burglary, vandalism and making criminal threats after police said he tried to break into the Fairfield residence and identified himself as a fictional wizard. While Nichols appeared calm when he approached the home, things took a turn after he refused to leave.
At the time, the homeowner's pregnant wife and 5-year-old child hid in the garage.
"I just want to make sure everything is OK. There seems to be something going on," Nichols said, according to KTVU.

"What do you mean?" the homeowner responded, while asking Nichols to leave.
Nichols seemingly appeared to become agitated after talking with the homeowner on the Ring camera, shouting, "Where’s your daughter? Who’s in there with you? Open this f------ door or I’m breaking it down."
"I’m giving you a chance — get the f--- out of my house," the homeowner said.
"My name is Harry Dresden, mother f---!" Nichols said. "This is my neighborhood."

Dresden is a fictional wizard from a TV series.
After the suspect was taken into custody, Fairfield police said a witness came forward regarding a separate incident involving Nichols and her child, but didn't provide more details. Nichols was arrested on charges of annoying or molesting a child under 18 regarding that incident.

At one point, Nichols removed a hanging decoration from the entryway and continued shouting, threatening to "f------ kill" the homeowner if he didn't open the door.
Nichols got into the house by breaking a gate and entering through a sliding glass door, according to police. The homeowner returned as Nichols gained entry into the house and confronted Nichols with a shovel. Fairfield police said the homeowner and Nichols sustained head injuries.
Police arrested Nichols and took him to a local hospital for treatment, and he was later booked at the Solano County Jail.
According to NBC Bay Area, Nichols lives behind the victim's home. His bond was set at $250,000.
