Combs was convicted on two counts of transporting individuals for
prostitution under the Man Act. He was sentenced to four

(02:01):
years in two months, but acquitted of the more serious charges,
including racketeering and sex trafficking. He's been in federal custody
since September twenty twenty four. His projected release date May eighth,
twenty twenty eight reflects time already served and credits earned
under the First Stepped Act, which allows inmates to reduce

(02:24):
their sentence through good behavior, but could Combs be released
even sooner.

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump confirmed that Combs had
requested a pardon, saying, in part, I call him puff Daddy.

I'm Drew Nelson. A neighbor's quick action stops a toddler
kidnapping attempt in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. Police say twenty two
year old Chris Shawn Parker of Norristown tried to snatch
a two year old girl from her mother's arms while
claiming the child was his. The attack began on the
seven thousand block of Emerson Avenue and ended at the
fence line of second Ward Park. Surveillance video showed him

(03:08):
approaching Syana Carter outside her home in broad daylight. Carter
tells WPVII she screamed and ran pounding on Doris for help.

I turned and go right to the corner because that
guy camer that corner house got come my knock. I said,
kill someone help me. He like, you got my daughter.
He's telling me, I'm like, this is not your daughter.
Once he said that this was his daughter, I might
kiss someone out.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
Carter said, Parker caught up to her near the park.

Speaker 6 (03:31):
He grabs me and grabbed my daughter, Like give me
my daughter. He punches, shoving me. I'm not letting my

Speaker 2 (03:37):
Neighbor Sean Miller heard the screams and ran toward the commotion.
I just flung right in action.

Speaker 7 (03:42):
I didn't think twice.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
I just gave him a little shove, a little one too,
Miller says. Parker yelled, quote, my name is Christopher, this
is my baby. I'm from Norristown. He told police he
knew the mother and child and that Parker was lying.
Officer Jacqueline Benedict and Detective William Gotch arrived and took
Parker into custody. He was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault,

(04:04):
unlawful restraint, reckless endangerment, simple assault, and terroristic threats. Parker's
bail was set at ten percent of five hundred thousand dollars,
and he remains in jail awaiting a preliminary hearing Thursday
before District Judge Andrew Goldberg. Carter suffered minor injuries, her
daughter was ultimately not her.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
I'm Jennifer Gould. A father's violent explosive meltdown over a
missed classroom snack led him to threaten mass murder and
shoot up his child's elementary school. This parent, spoke to
CBS Detroit.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
Thought it was crazy for something, you know, that minuscule
for that type of big reaction soundscraft.

Speaker 2 (04:44):
I thought it was a joke etforts.

Speaker 7 (04:45):
The terrifying confrontation sparked by the most trivial of reasons,
unfolded at Pleasant View Elementary School in East Point, Michigan.
When David Scott Junior, forty three arrived to pick up
his son. The snack rage intensified instantly. Scott, a repeat
felon with a history of crime, flew into a torrent

(05:06):
of profanity, screaming death threats at the teacher in front
of terrified students and shocked parents. Here's the judge, followed
by East Point Police Lieutenant Alexander Hollish.

Speaker 5 (05:18):
Listen you allegedly confronted the teacher and stated words to
the effect of, I'll air this out and I'll be
back tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
Let's come a knowledge that airplace out means to shoot
out the place.

Speaker 7 (05:31):
Lieutenant Hollish confirmed the entire class had been skipped for
the snack time, confirming Scott's child was not individually targeted,
making this threat all the more unwarranted. The school immediately
raised the alarm, prompting police to track down and arrest
Scott within two hours. The subsequent execution of a search

(05:52):
warrant on his home yielded a disturbing discovery. Police found
multiple rounds of ammunition. This evidence underscored the severity of
the threat, and it resulted in Scott being hit with
the devastating fourth offense habitual offender notice, guaranteeing a maximum
sentence if he's convicted. Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido slammed

(06:17):
the incident, stating the absurdity of threatening mass violence over
something as minor as a classroom snack desert a treat
was quote unquote absolutely inexcusable. Scott was arraigned on charges
including possession of weapons and ammunition by a prohibited person,
intentional threat to commit an act of violence against school,

(06:39):
school employees or students, and disorderly conduct. He pleaded not guilty.
His bond was set at one hundred and fifty thousand
bucks should he be released. Scott must wear a GPS
ankle monitor and is strictly prohibited from contacting the school,
its staff or its students. Scott was also ordered to

(07:02):
undergo a mental health evaluation. His next core data is
set for November fifth. For the latest crime and justice news,
