Ocean City police are reporting that four people were assaulted around 12:35 a.m. Friday morning, three of which were flown to local area hospitals as a result.
The assault took place on 130th Street and is believed to be drug-related, according to Ocean City Mayor Richard Meehan. We believe it is drug-related, we’re not really sure at this point, Meehan told C4 and Bryan Nehman Friday morning. We’ll have more information on that as it comes out. Unfortunately, we see more and more of these things throughout the country and everywhere. It’s isolated here in Ocean City. It doesn’t happen often but, unfortunately, it does happen.

WAUCONDA, IL Officer Richard Meehan received the most adorable call of his 13-year career on Monday.
Meehan, a police officer in Wauconda responded to a call from a concerned citizen who spotted some type of injured animal on the side of the road. Since the station regularly fields calls about wild animals, Meehan prepared to shoo away a raccoon or deer but instead scooped up a small red fox that needed immediate help.

Two years ago this week, the global mining industry felt the ground crumble beneath its feet. At the decommissioned Córrego do Feijão iron ore mine in Brazil, a tailings dam suddenly collapsed, unleashing a wall of toxic sludge that roared through the serene valleys around the city of Brumadinho.
Security cameras captured the disaster in stomach-churning detail, including the horrifying moment when the earthen dam burst. An estimated 270 people died, many buried alive by the sludge. The area’s rivers and ecosystems are likely to be polluted for generations. The former CEO of Vale, which owns the mine, faces homicide charges in a Brazilian court.
