The five-time Olympian Daniela Larreal Chirinos was found dead inside her Las Vegas home days after choking on food, Fox Sports reported Sunday, citing police. Chirinos, 50, was one of Venezuela’s best-known Olympians, having featured in speed cycling in Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, and London 2012. The athlete moved to Las Vegas after retiring from the sport and had been working at a hotel there, Fox Sports reported. Her body was reportedly found by police on Friday after her colleagues called in a wellness check. Fox Sports’ report said officers arrived at her apartment to find her lifeless body. The report added that cops found solid food remains in her trachea, which led them to believe she died from asphyxiation. Chirinos never medaled at the Olympics, but she won a pair of golds during the Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador in 2002. A year later, she brought home two silver medals at the Pan American Games in Santo Domingo. Fox Sports reported that she was also once active in Venezuelan politics.Read it at New York PostRead more at The Daily Beast.

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

Douglas, GA

Daily Coffee Press

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."
