Four Marion County Fire and Rescue employees were arrested in connection with a "violent hazing incident" that included allegedly waterboarding a 19-year-old co-worker, the county's sheriff's office said in a news release.

“A small group of employees treated the firehouse like a frat house,” Marion County commissioner Carl Zalak said Wednesday. “The behavior is absolutely disgraceful, disrespectful, and it will simply not be tolerated.”

On Wednesday, detectives from the office's major crimes division arrested Edward Kenny III, 22; Seth Day, 22; and Tate Trauthewein, 19, on charges of kidnapping, robbery and battery, the sheriff's office said in the release.

Kaylee Bradley, 25, was also arrested on charges of robbery and principal/accessory to robbery, according to the release.

An attorney representing jailed election-denier Tina Peters has backed sending in the U.S. military to bust his client out of prison, where she is currently languishing after being convicted over her part in the plot to overturn the 2020 election.

Peter Ticktin made the comments during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room podcast Tuesday when he was asked if President Donald Trump should dispatch the celebrated 101st Airborne Division to free Peters, 70, the disgraced former county clerk of Mesa County, Colorado.

“Do I think it should be done? For who I am, yeah – I’d love to see that happen,” Ticktin answered.

Peters is serving a nine-year jail sentence after being convicted in August 2024 of seven out of 10 charges, four of which were felonies, for allowing an associate of MyPillow salesman and Trump loyalist Mike Lindell to access a secure room to make a copy of a hard drive containing data from the state’s 2020 presidential election results, all in support of Trump’s still-unproven fraud narrative, which attempted to discredit and overturn Joe Biden’s win by baselessly crying conspiracy.

Pentagon says it's investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for video urging troops to defy 'illegal orders'

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says it is investigating Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona for possible breaches of military law after Kelly joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for U.S. troops to refuse unlawful orders.

The Pentagon’s statement, which was posted on social media on Monday, cited a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the defense secretary for possible court-martial or other measures. Kelly served in the U.S. Navy as a fighter pilot before going on to become an astronaut. He retired at the rank of captain.

It is extraordinary for the Pentagon, which until the second Trump term has usually gone out of its way to act and appear apolitical, to directly threaten a sitting member of Congress with investigation.

In its statement, the Pentagon suggested that Kelly’s statements in the video interfered with the “loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces” by citing the federal law that prohibits such actions.
