Woman fires gun indoors and sets curtains on fire 'to make a point': Police
Background: A section of Newtonsville Road in Wayne Township, Ohio (Google Maps). Inset: Crystal Foster (Clermont County Sheriff's Office).
A woman in Ohio is accused of firing a gun and lighting curtains on fire inside a residence "to prove a point" during a daylong argument.
Crystal Foster, 47, has been charged with first-degree aggravated arson, as well as two counts of first-degree aggravated menacing and first-degree using weapons while intoxicated, both misdemeanors. She is being held in the Clermont County Jail without bail, the Clermont County Sheriff's Office announced in a press release.
On Monday at about 4:15 p.m., someone called 911 from a home in the 5900 block of Newtonsville Road in Wayne Township, Ohio. The area lies between Cincinnati and Dayton.
The caller claimed that Foster had fired a gun inside the home after an argument "that had continued throughout the day," according to the sheriff's office.
But apparently that wasn't all that took place.
Deputies say that when they arrived at the location about 15 minutes later, they "discovered Foster had set fire to curtains inside the residence." The fire had since been extinguished, and no one had been hurt.
Officers with the sheriff's office continued investigating, and they reportedly learned from witnesses that Foster had "intentionally set the home's curtains on fire" and declared that she was "going to burn this place down." At one point, the witnesses recalled hearing a loud "pop" come from a bedroom inside the residence.
When deputies spoke with Foster herself, she apparently told them that she had been drinking and shot the gun "to prove a point." She further "indicated she wasn't sure why she lit the curtains on fire and admitted to consuming alcoholic beverages throughout the day."
Foster allegedly also told detectives that she fired the weapon to "show them she was serious and to make a point." It is unclear what relationships she had with the witnesses.
The defendant was scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday morning.

Add The California Post on GoogleA beloved California radio station has lost its final local voices as an iHeartMedia bloodbath spreads nationwide.
Riverside-based 99.1 KGGI cut longtime on-air personalities Evelyn Erives, Nick Nack and Garrison King las week as part of the radio giant’s latest wave of layoffs, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The trio had been among the last familiar voices at the Inland Empire station — leaving KGGI without any local on-air hosts.

The cuts came as iHeartMedia restructures its radio programming to better “leverage” technology, according to an internal memo cited by the outlet.
The memo framed the overhaul as a way for the company to “move faster and operate with greater precision across markets” and “position us not just to adapt to the future, but to lead it.”
iHeartMedia declined to say how many workers were affected, though dozens of on-air personalities and other staffers have reportedly been cut across the country.

The layoffs are part of a broader cost-cutting push at the nation’s largest radio operator, which owns more than 850 stations across 160 markets — including Los Angeles-area stations KFI-AM, KLAC-AM, KOST-FM and KIIS-FM.
In May, iHeartMedia announced a new savings plan aimed at trimming another $50 million on top of $100 million in previously announced cuts.

The company has also pushed deeper into podcasting as traditional radio faces shrinking audiences and shifting ad dollars.
But KGGI cuts come after iHeartMedia rolled out its “Guaranteed Human” campaign last year — pledging that its stations and podcasts would not use AI-generated personalities or AI-generated music.
With KGGI now stripped of its last local hosts, iHeartMedia has not who — or what — will take their place.

Bonus payments from $725M Facebook settlement could be coming to some users — here’s when you may receive more money
By Sheetal Banchariya Published June 30, 2026, 4:37 p.m. ETSee more of our coverage in your search results.
Add The California Post on GoogleFacebook’s $725 million privacy class-action lawsuit settlement keeps on giving — as users of the social media platform are expected to rake in more settlement money soon.
Facebook users who were active on the platform between May 24, 2007 and December 22, 2022 and signed up for the class action started to receive emails about the new payments starting early June.
“This additional settlement payment will be issued in the next 3–4 business days. The payment method you selected to receive your settlement payment was ACH,” read the email reviewed by The California Post.

The first rounds of payouts were made in September 2025. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California approved a second payout distribution in May 2026 — users are being paid over a period of four weeks.
However, the payout is not a life-changing amount of cash as it involved millions of users. Facebook had more than 240 million US users in 2022. While all were eligible, payouts are only to be sent out to those who filed a claim.

Some people took to other social media platforms to boast about the not-so-grand settlement payment.
“Thanks to the Facebook privacy settlement I was able to buy TWO slices of pizza from 7-eleven today,” a payee wrote on X.
Another X user posted, “A Facebook class action settlement paid me $7.31! However shall I spend it?”
The class-action lawsuit, sparked by the Cambridge Analytica scandal of 2018, was brought by Facebook users alleging that the social media giant misused their data and sold it to third parties. Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms agreed to shell out a whopping sum of $725 million to settle the lawsuit.

Mexico fans upset Team Ecuador with sleep deprivation tactics before World Cup showdown
By Grace McCarron Published June 30, 2026, 4:56 p.m. ETSee more of our coverage in your search results.
Add The New York Post on GoogleSoccer fans are going to great lengths to try and get their teams World Cup wins.
Mexico’s fans got a head start on showing their support ahead of their match with Ecuador in their capital city Tuesday night.
On Monday night, Mexico fans stationed themselves outside the hotel where Ecuador’s national team was staying to loudly make noise in an attempt to disrupt the squad’s pre-match sleep.

Mexico fans showed up from midnight to early morning, per the Associated Press, to chant loudly and honk their car horns outside the hotel.
Videos of the spectacle quickly spread on the Internet. If they’re any indication, the cheering could have been loud enough to interrupt what Ecuador needed to be a good night of sleep before their first knockout stage match.

Ecuador, clearly unhappy with the behavior of Mexico’s fans, said they complained to FIFA about the tactic, calling it “conduct [that] falls far short of the principles of fair play, equity, and unity that a football World Cup should represent.” The statement went on to ask “relevant authorities” to exercise control over the incidents amid concerns over player, staff and fan safety relating to the incidents.
It remains to be seen whether Ecuador’s game will be affected by the disruption. Ecuador and Mexico face off in the Round of 32 at 9 p.m. ET in Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca.
As it will be a home game for Mexico, their fans will surely bring their A-game to the match, much like they did outside Ecuador’s hotel Monday night.
