The woman suing Santonio Holmes who refused to tiffany cufflinks him criminally for what she said was an assault at a Florida nightclub has changed her mind.

Anshonae Mills informed police Wednesday that she now wants the Pittsburgh Steelers receiver charged with throwing a liquor glass at her face March 7 and causing a minor injury during a dispute over a seat at the club's VIP lounge.

"Ms. Mills came to the Orlando Police Department yesterday and wants to prosecute, and the case has been re-activated," Orlando police Sgt. Barbara Jones said Thursday in an e-mail.

No further information was available about how investigators plan to proceed.

Police announced Tuesday that the criminal investigation had been closed because Ms. Mills would not cooperate.

Ms. Mills, 21, a senior at the University of Central Florida, filled out a handwritten statement to police on the morning of the incident refusing to prosecute the football player.

Officer Damon Barnes, who wrote tiffany earrings report, noted that Ms. Mills told him the situation was resolved and she did not want to press charges or get Mr. Holmes into trouble after the two had a private conversation.

During that chat, the officer wrote that he observed Ms. Mills smiling and rubbing Mr. Holmes' face.

Nonetheless, Ms. Mills sued Mr. Holmes last week for assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. She is seeking damages upward of $15,000.

Mr. Holmes' attorney denied that his client assaulted Ms. Mills and said he has a private investigator gathering information to defend his client.

"We adamantly deny her allegations in that complaint," Adam B. Swickle said Thursday. "We do plan on contesting everything."

Mr. Swickle had no comment on the reopening of the criminal investigation.

"I haven't heard anything yet," he said.

Ms. Mills' lawyers could not be reached for comment.

A police report indicates that Mr. Holmes, 26, "immediately denied ever touching" Ms. Mills and told officers that a female patron had thrown the glass at her.

One of the allegations in the lawsuit is that Mr. Holmes and police pressured Ms. Mills to not press charges. Neither the suit nor Ms. Mills' lawyers have provided any evidence or detail to back up that claim.

"Based on my investigation at this point, Santonio didn't put any pressure on anybody," Mr. Swickle said.

He also discounted Ms. Mills' contention in her suit that the football player tried to buy her silence.

Asked if Mr. Holmes offered Ms. Mills money, Mr. Swickle said, "No, of course not."

Mr. Swickle, who is based in Fort Lauderdale, has a lengthy roster of professional football clients that includes former Steelers receiver Plaxico Burress and Cincinnati Bengals star Chad Ochocinco.

The police report states that Officer Barnes told Ms. Mills and Mr. Holmes that with conflicting statements from the two and no independent witnesses, he planned to charge Mr. Holmes.

Mr. Swickle would not comment on the police account of a private conversation, saying that that part of his investigation was not complete.

Ms. Mills refused medical attention for her injury. The police report describes a one-quarter-inch abrasion over her right eye; the suit calls it a laceration.

Ms. Mills also has sued J.J. Whispers Group Inc., the owners of Rain Ultra Lounge.

In a statement, the club said it is still gathering information about the matter.

Keisha Pickett, a spokeswoman for the club, said no evidence has been presented to support the allegation that anyone threw a liquor glass at Ms. Mills.

"We don't welcome any incidents of this type at Club Rain. It's not what we promote or tolerate from any of our patrons, whether they're celebrities or not," Ms. Pickett said. "We want them all to feel safe and welcome while they're there."

She said she did not know whether the club had a video camera system. Mr. Swickle confirmed that is an area he is exploring.

"We look forward to be able to exonerate him," Mr. tiffany key said of his client. "He's a good kid ... We're going to investigate and we have a lot of confidence that it's going to produce positive results for him."

Ms. Mills, who has been arrested twice in the Orlando area -- she was found guilty of trespassing and resisting an officer without violence, while charges of aggravated battery, battery and trespass were dropped in another incident -- also has a criminal record in Jacksonville.

Beatrice Wright watched race cars go around a tiffany accessories on television Monday afternoon while enjoying the sun filtering into her Austin apartment and wearing a spring-themed outfit.

The colorful, high-speed cars are quite a change from the vehicle Wright first drove as a teenager, starting in the early 1920s when she took her father's vehicle -- likely a Ford Model T -- without permission on a joyride around the city of Spring Valley with her three sisters.

"That was really something," she said.

Wright, who turns 103 today, has seen many changes in her lifetime, much of which was spent in Spring Valley and Grand Meadow. She's one of the oldest residents in Mower County, and is the oldest living graduate of Spring Valley High School.

When asked what she thinks of turning 103, Wright quipped, "That's kind of old."

"I didn't think that I'd ever get to be that old," said Wright, whose friends call her Bea.

On Monday, Wright's brother, Donald Stephenson, of Edina, Minn., visited his sister at Our House Assisted Living Apartments in northwest Austin.

Wright and Stephenson -- the oldest and youngest, respectively, of six children -- are the only siblings still living from their family. Stephenson was born in 1925, a few months after Wright graduated from high school.

More than a century ago

Wright was born in 1907 at home in the tiny northern Mower County town of Sargeant. Her family later moved to a farm near Brownsdale before relocating to Spring Valley, where she went to school. Her grandfather, Martin Stephenson, started numerous grain elevators in Mower County.

Some of her earliest memories include going into Brownsdale as a young child for candy.

She also can recall traveling by horse and buggy between Sargeant and Brownsdale, as well as taking a train from Spring Valley to Brownsdale to spend time with her grandparents in the summer.

"That was really a trip," Wright said of the train rides, which served candy and fruit.

Train rides also could tiffany bracelet serious business, including the time Wright, as a child, needed surgery on the mastoid bone behind an ear. Her parents had 15 minutes to catch a train to take them to Mayo Clinic in Rochester for surgery, and they made it on time.

"That was really dramatic," she said.

After graduating from a teaching college in Winona, Wright taught in one-room, rural schoolhouses for about five years, including near Grand Meadow and Spring Valley. She built

fires, collected water and hauled wood to help run the school.

"(The students) were all very bright and anxious to learn," she said.

Wright left teaching to help her husband, Ben Wright, with his produce business in Grand Meadow, where they lived for many years.

Tip: 'Behave'

Wright's son, Stephen, is expected to travel from his home in Norway to Austin next week to visit his mother. He also came back for her 100th birthday in 2007; she has two other children in California and Ohio.

Wright suffers from arthritis, Stephenson said, but he's surprised at how well his sister gets along overall. He credited her longevity to living a clean life.

As for tips on living past 100, Wright's advice is blunt and simple: "Just behave yourself."

If you believe the sign that sits outside of her apartment tiffany bracelets, Wright's life would be one, thick book. The sign reads: "Every Life is a Fairy Tale Written by God's Fingers."

A Newport News woman will spend 23 years behind bars after pleading guilty in two different cities to allowing a man to sexually assault her 10-year-old daughter.

The woman -- who spent several days silver key rings up with the man during a crack cocaine binge at two motels in 2007 -- pleaded guilty in Newport News this week to felony child neglect and pandering her child for prostitution. She got the maximum 10 years on each count when sentenced by Circuit Court Judge David F. Pugh.

Under the plea agreement reached this week, the sentence will run concurrently with a 23-year sentence already issued on March 12 in Hampton.

The Daily Press is not naming the woman to help shield the girl's identity.

"I did not object because she was immediately apologetic, told everything she knew, cooperated with the prosecution of her co-defendant, and has been remorseful throughout," said Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Robin Farkas. "Her testimony has also spared her daughter from having to testify."

The woman's lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Raphael Connor, said "the 23 years in Hampton sort of shocked me, given her cooperation. So we did the best we could in Newport News."

In May 2007, the silver necklaces -- a mother of five -- and Joe Arthur Slade got the girl at a relative's apartment, bringing her to a motel on Mercury Boulevard in Hampton. Slade told the girl he'd take her shopping and to Busch Gardens the next day.

But when they arrived at the motel, Slade asked the mother to teach her daughter how to perform oral sex -- followed by the girl performing it on Slade as her mother got high in the bathroom. He also rubbed himself on her.

The next day, the mother took her daughter to the Point Plaza Suites on J. Clyde Morris Boulevard to again meet with Slade, who stands accused of then sexually assaulting the girl as her mother was outside the room. The basis for the prostitution charge is an implicit one -- that Slade paid for the sex with the drugs he provided during the binge.

In September, a Hampton jury found Slade, now 60, guilty of aggravated sexual battery and two counts of forcible sodomy, recommending 30 years behind bars. Slade has requested a new trial on the contention that his attorney didn't let him testify.

The Newport News charges against Slade have been dropped -- at least temporarily -- because he claimed he never gave permission to be swabbed for DNA. Farkas said police would get a search warrant for Slade's DNA and again ask a grand jury to indict.

"The issue isn't the silver rings," she said. "The issue is what he did to this girl."

DUBAI -- The Dubai Police, in coordination with silver bracelets counterparts in Sharjah, arrested five men and two women -- all Asians -- and seized capsules containing 4.618kg of heroin.

Some of the capsules were concealed in their stomach while the others were found in their flat in Sharjah, the police said on Thursday.

The Anti-Narcotics Department of Dubai, received information that an Asian living in the Naif area of Dubai had handed over heroin capsules to another man as part of a deal. The police put him under surveillance and arrested him. The man who received the capsules was arrested later.

During interrogation, the silver cufflinks arrested first confessed that he had only handed over samples to the second man and that the remaining capsules were with another suspect living in Sharjah.

After completing the necessary legal procedures and coordinating with the Sharjah Police, CID officials raided a flat and arrested three man and two women. One of the women is the wife of the man arrested first. She confessed that she had swallowed some capsules.

The suspects were charged with drug smuggling and possession in addition to drug use and referred to the Dubai Public Prosecution.

Major Abdul Jalil Mehdi, Director of the Anti-Narcotic silver earrings, praised the cooperation between Dubai and Sharjah police units and called on the public to cooperate and report drug traffickers to the police to prevent drugs abuse among community members and children.

Kristina Aksman, who had cheap pendants sought as a "person of interest" in the beating death of her mother in her Vernon Hills home, is now being described by police as "missing and endangered."

"She may be at risk," Vernon Hills police Sgt. Pat Zimmerman said today. "She has physical and mental disabilities," he said, and police do not know if she has her medication.

Police believe Aksman, 20, is with her boyfriend Daniel Baker, 21, who remains a "person of interest" in the slaying. They do not believe that Baker is armed. The two are believed to be traveling together in a 2009 Nissan Rogue with Illinois license plate 4219607 registered to Aksman's parents.

The search is now nationwide, Zimmerman said, with police having received close to 100 leads. "I think we're getting closer. We're hopeful we'll bring them in by the end of today."

Kristina Aksman's mother, Marina, 50, was found dead Thursday morning on a bed on the first-floor of her home in the 1800 block of Olympic Drive in the north suburb. Her husband, Robert, is a delivery truck driver and was not home at the time, Zimmerman said.

Three weeks ago, a judge appointed Marina Aksman as her daughter's legal guardian.

Before the order was handed down March 15, a physician filed a document stating that Kristina Aksman suffered from "a seizure disorder and developmental delay" and had received special education at school.

The doctor said Kristina was "not fully capable to take care of herself."

Marina Aksman said in her court petition that her daughter had "cognitive impairment disability" that diminished her capacity for judgment.

Zimmerman said police cheap rings an "idea" about a motive but were not divulging it.

A source said Baker and Kristina Aksman had been dating for about eight months. Baker apparently contacted a relative hours after the body was discovered but didn't say where he was, according to the source.

Court records indicate Baker has received traffic violations in Lake County but nothing more serious.

Police discovered Marina Aksman's body about 5 a.m. after being called to the home because a silver car had crashed into the front, authorities said.

Around back, officers discovered that a glass panel on a door had been shattered. They then found Aksman. Investigators also recovered a baseball bat they believe was used to beat the woman, a source said.

Aksman died of blunt trauma to her head, Lake County Coroner Dr. Richard Keller said. No other significant wounds were found, he said.

Zimmerman said this is only the second killing in Vernon Hills since he joined the force 12 years ago.

Not too many of the neighbors know each other in the quiet community where the crime occurred, but the Aksmans were remembered as being pleasant, said neighbor Darlene Cherry.

"They always said hello," Cherry said. "The husband would usually answer the door and was very nice."

One neighbor, Glenn Hartman, said he was awakened by a noise around 3:30 a.m. but didn't think much of it and went back to sleep.

Then at 7 a.m., flashing lights and throngs of police cars greeted him as he started his morning. "(Police) are all around us," he said. "We guessed by the amount of activity that somebody must have died. There are probably two dozen cars that don't belong."

"This is a very quiet neighborhood," Hartman said. "It was originally supposed to be for older people who retired. Part of this community is on a golf course."

Maria Orozco, who lived next to the Aksmans before they moved a few streets over to North Olympic Drive, was shocked to learn of Marina Aksman's death. She was even more stunned that police named the woman's daughter a "person of interest."

"When I heard, I said, 'It can't be the same girl,'" Orozco said. "Kristina is a very nice, sweet girl. I hope she's OK because she's a beautiful young girl."

A friend who went to Libertyville cheap tiffany School with Kristina said she was involved in a mentoring service organization at the school.

"She was very sweet and outgoing," he said. "She always gave me a friendly hug and smile."

A Ceres woman posed as a real estate agent and forged cheap key rings to swipe $80,000 from an unsuspecting Spanish-speaking couple who thought they were buying a Modesto home, an arrest warrant says.

Griselda Flores, 50, was arrested Monday by the Stanislaus County district attorney's real estate fraud unit and charged with grand theft, forgery and impersonating a real estate agent. Bail was set at $25,000.

Flores, who is bilingual, gained the victims' trust over several years while preparing their taxes at her Ceres office, the warrant says. She showed them a few houses and arranged to sell one whose owner faced foreclosure at 2021 Ridgecrest Drive for $98,000, accepting an $80,000 cash down payment, the document says.

The couple believed that cheap money clips would arrange an $18,000 loan for them, they told investigators. Instead, Flores forged receipts to fool them and arranged to buy the home for $80,000 in her name using a 3 percent down payment and a falsified loan application, the document states.

Flores tried to cover her tracks by telling the couple their down payment had been frozen by Santa Clara County authorities, the warrant says. But the victims complained to local fraud investigators who tipped off the lender and title company involved in the transaction, the document states.

A mortgage application analyst last month warned lenders that the risk of mortgage fraud is greater in Stanislaus County than anywhere else in the United States.
