Abandoned bear cub, ‘under arrest for cuteness,’ grabbed by state troopers from interstate highway
New Jersey State Police troopers rescued a young bear cub found alone along Interstate 78 on Wednesday afternoon.
Troopers from Troop “B” out of the Perryville Station responded at around 1:37 p.m. to reports of a lone cub spotted in a roadside ditch on I-78 East in Union Township, according to a New Jersey State Police Facebook post.
When officers arrived, they found the small bear by itself and in need of help.

The cub was safely secured and transported back to the station for temporary care before being turned over to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the post noted.
“Thanks to the swift response of the troopers, the cub is now safe and receiving the attention he needs,” the post said.
Photos of the rescue quickly spread online — with many people sharing reactions to the cub’s small size and appearance.

“He’s under arrest for being too cute,” one user commented.
Others praised troopers for stepping in to help, applauding authorities for rescuing the vulnerable cub and ensuring it was placed in proper care.
Fox News Digital previously reported on another unusual bear encounter — this time involving a much larger animal that refused to leave a California home.

In Altadena, a 550-pound black bear took up residence in the crawlspace beneath a house, where it remained for weeks despite repeated removal efforts.
Wildlife officials attempted to lure the bear out using bait, lights and noise, but the animal continued returning to the space.
The situation was finally resolved when a wildlife response team used an unconventional method, crawling under the house and firing paintballs filled with vegetable oil to drive the bear out.
The effort worked, and the bear left the crawl space after weeks of failed attempts.

Officials later confirmed the animal was no longer under the home, and that the crawl space had been secured to prevent it from returning.

NHL fan goes into labor during Oilers game against Golden Knights, broadcaster says
An NHL fan at Rogers Place to watch the Edmonton Oilers take on the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday gave birth in the arena during the game, according to a broadcaster.

“Breaking news, we have word that someone has gone into labor here tonight,” Michaels said. “There’s a baby being born on the seventh floor at Rogers Place as we speak. So, someone is going to have a great story to tell. It would be nice to have them join us on ‘After Hours’ to describe what’s happened but that could be asking a bit much.”
There was no more information given about the baby, including the child’s name. Perhaps Edmond or Edmund could be a fitting name if the child is a boy.
OILERS LOSE LEON DRAISAITL FOR REST OF REGULAR SEASON AS PLAYOFFS APPROACH
Meanwhile, the Oilers fell to the Golden Knights, 5-1. Brett Howden and Jeremy Lauzon each had a goal and an assist. Colton Sissons, Mark Stone and Rasmus Andersson had a goal each as well.
Vegas goaltender Carter Hart made 31 saves in the victory as the team remained perfect since John Tortorella was named head coach.
Both teams are in the midst of a division title race. Edmonton maintained a slim lead over the Anaheim Ducks with five games left in the season. Each team has 87 points on the year.
With the win, Vegas moved a point back behind both teams.

Basketball legend Candace Parker takes aim at Geno Auriemma after Dawn Staley confrontation
Former WNBA star Candace Parker had no empathy for UConn Huskies women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma after he erupted at South Carolina’s Dawn Staley on Friday night.
Auriemma was upset with Staley failing to meet him for a customary pregame handshake before their Final Four game tipped off. His frustrations with Staley led to him confronting her at halfcourt when the game was over. Staley yelled back at Auriemma as coaches and other staff members got in between the two.

Parker, who was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame this week, spoke about the incident on Saturday night.
“In time, you see people’s colors over and over again,” she said. “And there can be a separation of time with that, but the colors always come to light. I think colors were shown yesterday on both sides, right? However you want to take that.”
UCONN’S UNDEFEATED SEASON CRUMBLES AS SOUTH CAROLINA GETS SWEET REVENGE AGAINST REIGNING CHAMPS
Auriemma issued an apology for his outburst.
“There’s no excuse for how I handled the end of the game vs. South Carolina. It’s unlike what I do and what our standard is here at Connecticut,” the Hall of Fame coach said in a statement on Saturday. “I want to apologize to the staff and the team at South Carolina. It was uncalled for in how I reacted. The story should be how well South Carolina played, and I don’t want my actions to detract from that. I’ve had a great relationship with their staff, and I sincerely want to apologize to them.”
Staley sidestepped a question about the interaction, saying she was focused on South Carolina’s national championship game against the UCLA Bruins.
“For me, no distractions at this time. I’m concentrating on winning a national championship, that’s it,” Staley said. “That’s a little disheartening. This is sports, sometimes things like this happen. Continue to focus on my team and ability to advance in this tournament and hopefully win another national championship.”

Trump calls rescue of downed Air Force pilot an ‘Easter Miracle’
President Donald Trump hailed the rescue of a missing U.S. airman from a downed F-15E in Iran as an “Easter Miracle,” after U.S. forces recovered the second crew member following a high-risk mission behind enemy lines.
“The rescue was an Easter Miracle. The enemy was large and violent. The rescuers were brilliant, strong, decisive, and as cool as anyone can be,” Trump told NBC host Kristen Welker. “Such a rescue has never happened before in so violent an enemy territory. It is usually not done because it is considered not doable.”
The rescue followed the downing of the F-15, which triggered a multi-day search operation inside Iran. U.S. forces had already recovered the first crew member before locating the second, who had been missing in mountainous terrain as large numbers of Iranian forces searched the area.
US PILOT RESCUED FROM DOWNED F-15E FIGHTER JET IN IRAN, SEARCH FOR SECOND CREW MEMBER ONGOING
In a public statement announcing the successful recovery, Trump characterized the operation as one of the most daring in U.S. military history and provided an update on the airman’s condition.
“Over the past several hours, the United States Military pulled off one of the most daring Search and Rescue Operations in U.S. History. He is injured, but he will be just fine,” Trump said. “We have rescued the seriously wounded, and really brave, F-15 Crew Member/Officer, from deep inside the mountains of Iran. The Iranian Military was looking hard, in big numbers, and getting close.”
Trump also highlighted the operational risks involved, stressing that missions of this kind are rarely attempted due to the danger to both personnel and equipment.

“This type of raid is seldom attempted because of the danger to ‘man and equipment.’ It just doesn’t happen,” he said.
He revealed that the earlier rescue of the first crew member had been deliberately withheld from public disclosure in order to protect the second operation, suggesting coordination across multiple high-risk missions.
“This miraculous Search and Rescue Operation comes in addition to a successful rescue of another brave Pilot, yesterday, which we did not confirm, because we did not want to jeopardize our second rescue operation,” Trump said.
Trump described the dual recovery as historically significant, saying the United States had accomplished something not previously seen in modern military operations.

“This is the first time in military memory that two U.S. Pilots have been rescued, separately, deep in Enemy Territory,” he said.
He framed the mission as a broader demonstration of U.S. military capability, pointing to the lack of American casualties and what he described as dominance in the operational environment.
“The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, shows overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies,” Trump said.

He also called for unity in response to the operation, arguing that the rescue should be a moment of shared national pride across political lines.
“This is a moment that ALL Americans, Republican, Democrat, and everyone else, should be proud of and united around,” Trump said. “We truly have the best, most professional, and lethal Military in the History of the World.”
