Devon Horton resigned as school superintendent in DeKalb County, Georgia, after being indicted on 17 federal counts over an alleged kickback scheme in a previous job. Prosecutors say that from 2020 to 2023, while serving as superintendent in Illinois, Horton steered more than $280,000 in contracts to friends in exchange for $80,000 in kickbacks.
Enforcement officers in London fined Burcu Yesilyurt 150 pounds ($200) for pouring the last of her coffee into a storm drain. The Environmental Protection Act 1990 prohibits the disposal of waste in a manner that could pollute land or water. Yesilyurt said she wasn't aware the act applied to a beverage poured into a drain and called the penalty "not proportionate." The local council later canceled the fine after public backlash.
