New Jersey woman accused of reporting fake shooting to get out of traffic stop
CLEMENTON, N.J. - A woman is facing charges after authorities in Camden County say she made a bogus 911 call about a shooting in an effort to distract an officer who had pulled her over. On Monday afternoon, authorities say the Gloucester Township Police Communications Center received a 911 call about a shooting at the Millbridge Garden Apartment Complex in Clementon.Authorities say when officers were responding to the area, they did not observe a shooting scene, and they made several calls to the residents of the complex. Investigators traced the cell phone number back to Katelynne Hunter-Fisher, which dispatchers were able to recognize from a motor vehicle stop that was in progress at the time the 911 call was made.Responding officers verified that there was no shooting at the apartment complex, and they were able to locate the Hunter-Fisher in Lindenwold. Police determined that Hunter-Fisher called in the false shooting report in an attempt to distract the officers from completing the motor vehicle stop. Hunter-Fisher, 35, was arrested for filing a false police report and obstruction of justice. ___MORE LOCAL HEADLINES___DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 NEWS APP | FOX 29 WEATHER AUTHORITY APPSUBSCRIBE: Good Day Digest Newsletter | FOX 29 Philly on YouTubeAdvertisementFOLLOW: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter

Defiant Brit wrestling star Alexxis Falcon fights back as Covid crushes in-ring dreams
Coronavirus pandemic stripped away “everything she loved” – including her passion for wrestling.Alex Cooper, better known to British wrestling fans as Alexxis Falcon, was having the best time of her career before the initial two-week lockdown kicked in in March, 2020.Speaking exclusively to the Daily Star, she said: "Everything I had was taken away from me – not being able to wrestle really got me depressed."It was getting me so down, not being able to do what was like my escape - it felt like I was spiraling into a depression.“Every time I looked on social media I saw other people posting highlights of their career so far, and then the Speaking Out movement hit, which made it even more depressing.”The Speaking Out movement saw hundreds of wrestlers – mainly female – detailing experiences of sexual, physical and mental abuse within British wrestling - essentially, British wrestling's own Me Too movement.The Hull native was talking to us after a brutal victory over Lana Austin at Progress Wrestling's Manchester show on Sunday.It was the company's first show outside of London under the new ownership team of Tranmere Rovers bosses Lee McAteer and Martyn Best.Recalling the days prior to the pandemic, she said: “I had a match at TNT Wrestling in Liverpool just a few days before we went into lockdown, and it was weird because everyone was wearing masks and using hand sanitizer.“I was wondering if this was a scare or actually as bad as everyone was saying it is.”Just a few days later, the country was plunged into lockdown, and Alex was forced to isolate for the next two months – she was classed as high risk and clinically vulnerable due to her asthma.Her now-fiancé, wrestler JJ Webb, was doing all of her shopping, and leaving
