Memphis, TN (CNN/ CBS Local) — A Memphis woman said she feels betrayed after her date stole her car and then used it to go on a date with her God sister. As far as nights out go, Faith Pugh said the one she had Saturday with Kelton Griffin was disappointing from the beginning. She said when he showed up, he didn’t even bring his own car. “I don’t know who dropped him off. He just got dropped off,” Pugh said. Pugh said she knew Griffin from their years in high school, but hadn’t spoken to him much lately until he reached out and suggested dinner. “He just out of the blue texted me and asked me to go out,” Pugh said. They took Pugh’s black Volvo, but then Pugh said Griffin couldn’t decide where he wanted to take her. They ended up stopping at an Airport Area gas station. “He asked me could I go in the gas station for him to get a cigar,” she said. It turns out that was a big mistake. “He drove off. I came outside and my car was gone,” Pugh said. Pugh said her mother picked her up, but then she got a surprising text from her God sister, saying Griffin had asked her out. “I said, ‘Okay, well send me the address to where you at, and I’m on my way. Tell him to come on,’” she said. Pugh said they used the GPS on her God sister’s phone to tail Griffin before losing him, but then found him again at a drive-in movie theater on Summer Avenue. Pugh said he was in her car with her God sister. “He let her drive, so she drove him to the drive-in. He didn’t even have any money. She actually paid their way to get in the drive-in just so I could get my car back,” Pugh said. Police arrested Griffin that night. It’s not his first arrest. In 2016, police said he and two other men ate out before robbing a restaurant. If he’s looking for company for his next meal out, Pugh said he needn’t look to her. “I hope he’s in jail for a long time. I never want to speak to him ever again,” she said.

NEW YORK (CBSNews/AP)– The European Union is hitting Google with a record $5 billion fine for abusing the market dominance of its Android mobile phone operating system. The fine, which had been widely expected this week, is 4.34 billion euros, or about $5 billion. The EU is also ordering Google to “stop and to not re-engage” in business practices that it says Google relied on to cement its dominance, including bundling its search and browser apps with its Android operating system. On Thursday, President Trump weighed in, tweeting out his criticism on the EU. I told you so! The European Union just slapped a Five Billion Dollar fine on one of our great companies, Google. They truly have taken advantage of the U.S., but not for long! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 19, 2018 The EU had investigated how Google requires mobile phone makers to include the search giant’s apps when they license the Android operating system. The other practices banned by the EU include Google’s payments that were conditional on exclusively pre-installing Google Search and preventing device makers from installing competing versions of Android. “Google has used Android as a vehicle to cement the dominance of its search engine,” EU Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager said in a statement. “These practices have denied rivals the chance to innovate and compete on the merits.” Google said that instead of restricting competition, it did the opposite. “Android has created more choice for everyone, not less,” said Google spokesman Al Verney. “We will appeal the Commission’s decision,” he added. The EU’s fine is the biggest ever imposed on a company for anticompetitive behavior. In June 2017, regulators already charged Google 2.42 billion euros ($2.8 billion) for favoring its shopping listings in search results. Google appealed that decision, while rolling out a compromise this year that lets competitive comparison shopping engines bid for slots in an auction, a system that critics say still favors the tech giant. © 2018 CBS Interactive Inc.

Maxine Waters Cautions Supporters Against Confrontation With Militia Group
written by EmmanueMaughan
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Congresswoman Maxine Waters is urging her supporters to not be baited into a confrontation with what she calls an anti-government militia group that is expected to protest at her Los Angeles district office Thursday. “I am requesting those individuals and groups planning a counter-protest to not be baited into confronting the Oath Keepers with any demonstrations in opposition – such an occurrence would only exacerbate tensions and increase the potential for conflict,” Waters said in a statement she released Wednesday. Please read my statement on the Oath Keepers' planned protest at my district office tomorrow. pic.twitter.com/1ZALWLaZJS — Maxine Waters (@RepMaxineWaters) July 19, 2018 A far-right group called the Oath Keepers is reportedly planning to demonstrate at Waters’ offices in response to her call for people who are angry about the recent separation of families at the border to confront members of the Trump administration. “The Oath Keepers have a history of engaging in violent and provocative behavior. The group is known to protest in military-style clothing while carrying various assault weapons,” Waters’ statement said. “The Oath Keepers would like nothing more to inflame racial tensions and create an explosive conflict in our community.” The group is known for its heavily-armed members showing up wherever the national spotlight happens to be shining at that moment, like in Ferguson, Mo. on the anniversary of Michael Brown’s fatal shooting by police. Earlier this year, there was a call for members to stand armed guards outside schools after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center. Waters says Los Angeles Police officers and personnel will be on site to ensure safety and security at her office.

New research says children of working mothers are just as happy later in life as the kids of stay-at-home moms. A new study led by a Harvard University professor found daughters of working moms are more likely to advance in their own careers and when the sons of working moms started their own families, they spent 50 minutes more each week caring for them. CBS News contributor Jodi Kantor joins “CBS This Morning” to discuss how this study confirms what we already intuitively know: kids of working moms will be just fine.

In an exclusive White House interview with CBS Evening News, President Trump attacked the former leadership of America’s intelligence agencies, saying he “can’t have any confidence in the past, taking aim at several individuals who have since left the intelligence community. ” I have no confidence in a guy like [former CIA chief John] Brennan, I think he’s a total lowlife,” the president said.

STUDIO CITY (CBSLA) — Here’s a story…of a lovely listing. The Studio City home known as “The Brady Bunch house” because its exteriors were used on the show is on the market for the first time in nearly 50 years. The two-bedroom, three-bathroom home in the 11200 block of Dilling Street, adjacent to the Los Angeles River, is being offered for nearly $1.9 million, according to agent Ernie Carswell. He says the home is “the second most photographed home in the United States after the White House.” The home was last sold in 1973 for $60,000. Several homes in the area have been demolished recently, so the owners will give preference to bidders who want to keep the home intact, Carswell told the Los Angeles Times. “The Brady Bunch” aired between 1969 and 1974.

PICO RIVERA (CBSLA) — A man was shot and killed by deputies early Thursday morning after a car chase and crash in Pico Rivera. The shooting happened at about 2 a.m. at Pico Vista, just south of Washington Boulevard, apparently following a chase and a crash into a utility pole at Schooling Road, less than a mile from where the man was fatally shot. A distraught woman came to the scene and said the man who had been killed was her 22-year-old son, Carmelo Pizarro, and that he had been upset about another recent shooting of a friend. “They killed my son,” Maria Reza said, wailing. She said Pizarro had a young daughter. The chase started as a possible DUI, according to investigators. After the crash into the pole, deputies say they opened fire on him and he took off running. Two more deputies confronted the suspect on Pico Vista, not far from his own home. Investigators say the suspect had a gun, which was recovered, but he did not fire back. No deputies were injured.
