Summary
Joe Thompson resigns as US Attorney and Jordan Addison really can't get out of his own way.
Six federal prosecutors, including Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson, resigned Tuesday amid mounting pressure to investigate the widow of Renee Good, the New York Times reports.
The Department of Justice pressed for a criminal investigation into the actions of Renee Good’s widow on the day she was shot and killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross, according to the report. Good’s wife was seen on video engaging with Ross before the shooting, but none of her actions in the widely shared video appeared to be illegal.
Harry Jacobs, Thomas Calhoun-Lopez and Melinda Williams were also among those who resigned on Tuesday, according to the Times. Jacobs had been overseeing the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s investigation into fraud and Calhoun-Lopez was the Chief of the Violent and Major Crimes Unit, the Times reported.
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is once again in legal trouble.
Just two weeks after the end of Minnesota’s season, the 23-year-old was arrested Monday morning in Florida and is charged with misdemeanor trespassing.
The Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office says Addison was arrested by Seminole Indian Police at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino at around 3:45 a.m. He was booked at around 7:30 a.m. and was released on $500 bond at about 2:40 p.m. local time.
Further details about the incident weren’t immediately available.
