Nashville police officer fired over OnlyFans video showing 'traffic stop'
WARNING: This story contains explicit details.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) in Tennessee recently fired a police officer who allegedly appeared in an OnlyFans video in uniform.
The video, which was obtained by local outlet WTVF, appears to show the officer engaging in sexual activity with a woman during a fake traffic stop. The officer’s face is deliberately hidden in the video.
The amateur video was shot from the perspective of a man in the front passenger seat and shows the officer pulling up in a white car. After seeing the squad car, the woman in the driver’s seat is quoted as saying, “I’m not going to get a ticket. … I’m going to show him my t–s.”
According to WTVF, the Nashville officer identified himself as “Officer Johnson of PD” in the video. He tells the woman in the video that she had been speeding and asks for her license and registration.

The woman then exposes her breasts to the officer, who acts unimpressed.
“Ma’am, it’s 2024. I can see t–s on the internet any time,” the officer says before the woman offers to let him grope her. The rest of the video shows the officer and woman touching each other in a sexual manner, according to WTVF.

The now-fired officer had a MNPD patch slightly visible on his uniform, WTVF found. The MNPD confirmed to Fox News Digital that the officer in question was fired because of the video.
MNPD public affairs director Don Aaron told WTVF the incident was “outrageous.”
“That was one of the most outrageous, disrespectful acts that a person here could do,” Aaron said. “And by disrespectful, I mean to all the MNPD employees and this agency.”

Florida sheriff's deputy seen fatally shooting 23-year-old US airman
A Florida sheriff’s office released body camera video that showed the fatal shooting by a sheriff’s deputy of a 23-year-old U.S. airman.
Body camera footage released by the Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office showed a sheriff’s deputy responding to Senior Airman Roger Fortson’s apartment on May 3, for a disturbance call.
The video showed the deputy arriving at a Fort Walton Beach apartment building and speaking to a woman outside who described someone hearing an argument. The deputy then went up an elevator and walked down an outdoor hallway.
In the video, a deputy was seen knocking on Fortson’s apartment and announcing that he was with the sheriff’s office.
“Sheriff’s office, open the door,” the officer is heard saying. “Step out.”

The deputy then opened fire on Fortson just moments after he opened his apartment door while holding a gun pointing down.
“Drop the gun, drop the gun,” the officer said.

“I don’t have it,” Fortson said.
Following the shooting, the deputy is heard telling Fortson to not move and then is heard calling on his radio for emergency medical services before the video ends.
During a news conference, Okaloosa County Sheriff Eric Aden told reporters it “pained” him to show the video.
“It pains me to show the video, but I know that you all need to see it,” he said.
Civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who is representing Fortson’s family, accused the deputy of going to the wrong apartment and said the shooting was unjustified.
The 23-year-old was transported to Hartfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport by the Air Force via dignified transfer at 4 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, Crump said.
His family is preparing for his funeral on Friday at New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in Stonecrest, Georgia.

He was assigned as a gunner aboard an AC-130J, and earned an Air Medal with a combat device, Hurlbert Field announced in a Facebook post

Jimmy Carter’s grandson says former president is ‘coming to the end’
Jimmy Carter’s grandson provided an update on the former president’s health after he spent more than a year in hospice care, reconciling that his life is “coming to the end.”
Jason Carter, 48, addressed a mental health forum at the Carter Center in Georgia on Tuesday, where he said his grandfather was “doing ok” and praised the “outpouring of love” his family has received after the passing of the former first lady Rosalynn Carter, the forum’s namesake.
“My grandfather is doing okay. He has been in hospice, as you know, for almost a year and a half now, and he really is, I think, coming to the end,” Jason Carter said at The 28th Rosalynn Carter Georgia Mental Health Forum. “I’ve said before, there’s a part of this faith journey that is so important to him, and there’s a part of that faith journey that you only can live at the very end and I think he has been there in that space.”
Jimmy Carter, 99, entered hospice care in February 2023.

During his remarks, Jason Carter remembered his grandmother and the impact her passing had on the family — including the former president.
“My grandmother’s passing was a difficult moment for all of us, including my grandfather,” Jason Carter added.
He also thanked the multitude of commemorations his family had received.

“The outpouring of love and support that we, as a family, received from people in this room and from the rest of the world was so remarkable and meaningful to us. And it really turned that whole process into a celebration,” the grandson continued.
Jason Carter also described a conversation he shared with the former president weeks ago as they watched the MLB.
“I said, ‘Papa, you know, I can’t- people ask me how you’re doing, and I say I don’t know.’ And he said, ‘Well, I don’t know myself,’” the grandson recounted. “So he is still there.”
Jimmy Carter is the oldest living president in history. George H.W. Bush, the previous holder of that record, passed away in 2018. He was 94 at the time.
The former Democratic president has survived brain cancer, liver cancer and various medical procedures.
