Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:39:04 GMT

Authorities said no staff or prison inmates were taken hostage during a daylong “incident” at the Bristol County House of Correction that led to officers escorting prisoners out of the facility in handcuffs. Dozens of inmates could be seen sitting handcuffed in a nearby basketball court after they were removed by heavily-armored officers. The movement came after SKY7-HD spotted columns of officers moving into the scene of the disturbance just before 4 p.m., later escorting out inmates one after the other.Officials said the incident at the facility started earlier in the morning after authorities attempted to move inmates to different housing units. In an update provided by the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office, a public information officer said the incident occurred while staff were taking steps to make the facility “more suicide-resistant.”“Part of this process is moving inmates to different housing units,” PIO Jonathan Darling stated. “Frida...

Saturday will be your better (and dry) day to be outside.More clouds will gather overnight. That’ll keep most of us near 40° tomorrow morning. We’ll hold on to a lot of clouds throughout the day. It’ll start off breezy along the coast. An east/southeast wind will fill in more for everyone through the day. It’ll be gusty on the coast. Like today, that wind direction will pull cooler air off the Atlantic (47° as of this writing) and onshore. The coast will stay in the upper 40s/low 50s. Inland towns will be in the upper 50s/low 60s. Saturday evening will remain dry, but breezy. Rain will move in overnight, and the band will slide west to east through the morning.

Revolution look to extend unbeaten streak against Sporting Kansas City

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:39:04 GMT

The New England Revolution will put their five-game unbeaten streak on the line against underperforming Sporting Kansas City in an interdivisional match on Saturday night (7:30) at Gillette Stadium.The Revolution (5-1-2) are in first place in the Eastern Conference while Sporting Kansas City (0-5-3) is last in the Western Conference. But the most glaring discrepancy between the two clubs is not the records or standing within their respective conferences.The biggest chasm between the Revolution and SKC is measured in goals for and against. Both teams have played eight games with the Revolution netting 13 goals to just two by SKC. The Revolution have allowed seven goals to 11 by SKC.While acknowledging the numerical mismatch, Revolution sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena has looked beyond the disparate stats to avoid falling victim to a trap game.“Well, I think it’s something that doesn’t add up at this point,” said Arena. “There are quality players there in their front line...

Trans lawmaker silenced for 2nd day by Montana House speaker

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:39:04 GMT

By AMY BETH HANSON (Associated Press)HELENA, Mont. (AP) — A transgender Montana lawmaker was silenced for a second day Friday as her Republican colleagues have refused to let her speak on the chamber’s floor this session until she apologizes for saying lawmakers would have “blood on their hands” if they banned gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth.Democratic Rep. Zooey Zephyr sought to speak on a bill to prevent minors from seeing porn online, but House Speaker Matt Regier blocked the request. “I’m still going to expect the same standard for all representatives in this House. I’m still going to stand for the dignity and integrity of this House,” said Regier. He said earlier that the silencing was necessary to “maintain decorum” and will last until the end of the session unless she apologizes.Regier first shut down Zephyr on Thursday, when she wanted to comment on a bill seeking to put a binary definition of ma...

Red Sox were smart to extend Rafael Devers early

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:39:04 GMT

This time last season so much of the discourse surrounding the Red Sox revolved around Xander Bogaerts and his looming free agency. It was like a dark cloud that hung over everything, and even when the Red Sox played well it lingered like an odor you couldn’t escape.Isn’t it refreshing how much different the conversation is now?After failing to retain Bogaerts or Mookie Betts before him, the Red Sox finally reached an agreement with one of their homegrown stars this past offseason, signing Rafael Devers to a 10-year, $313.5 million extension. The deal is the largest in Red Sox history and will ensure Devers remains the face of the franchise for the next decade.Though the extension technically doesn’t take effect until next year, it does have the short-term benefit of removing the threat of yet another superstar walking out the door. As a result fans have been able to live in the here and now, and so far Devers has looked worth every penny of that contract and more....
