Cincinnati assault suspect accused of knocking out viral beating victim hauled back on $500K bond
After being extradited from Georgia, 38-year-old Patrick Rosemond made his first court appearance Friday morning in the viral Cincinnati attack, appearing stone-faced as the prosecution said that he was the "main instigator" in the viral beatdown that left at least two victims badly beaten.
Prosecutors in the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court painted a grim picture of Rosemond, who they say is a felon who "assaulted each and every single victim" in the attack, including making a beeline for a victim identified as "HR."
Rosemond punched the defenseless "HR," knocking her unconscious instantly and sending her crumpling to the pavement as the mob closed in, prosecutors said. Pointing to disturbing footage, prosecutors said that Rosemond was "taunting" and dancing after launching the brutal beatdown.
Prosecutors on Friday would not comment further on the identity of "HR." One victim was previously identified, however, as Holly, a woman who was severely injured in the attack.
When speaking about the beating in court on Friday, prosecutors said that it "almost caused her death." She previously told Fox News Digital that the attackers swarmed her "like a pack of wolves." She was knocked unconscious and had a concussion, and she shared that she was experiencing excruciating migraines and "memory gaps" from the night.
"He assaulted each and every single victim in a brutal to vicious fashion," the prosecutor said. "With regards to count eight, he is the individual that knocked out HR, the female, almost causing her death. Her head hit the pavement, she was completely knocked unconscious before she even hit the ground. It is clearly captured on video."
The 38-year-old is charged with three counts of alleged felonious assault, three charges of assault and two charges of aggravated rioting, the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office confirmed to Fox News Digital.
"This defendant is the one responsible for the majority of her injuries," the prosecutor said.
Throughout the brief proceeding, the courtroom remained quiet with no crowd filling the gallery.
Rosemond appeared in a black hoodie that read, "Proud to be Hebrew." The "Proud to be Hebrew" movement is a group that, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, believes that African Americans, and in some cases, other people of color, are the true descendants of the biblical Israelites.
The state highlighted Rosemond’s lengthy record: 10 misdemeanors and three felony convictions, including domestic violence and gun possession by a prohibited person.
Rosemond’s defense attorney argued that his trip to Georgia, where he was arrested, had been simply a planned visit to see a friend, not an attempt to flee.
Rosemond’s defense attorney argued that his trip to Georgia, where he was arrested, had been simply a planned visit to see a friend, not an attempt to flee.
Rosemond's attorney said that the defendant had cooperated fully during his arrest and, as a lifelong Hamilton County resident, he has "significant ties to the community."
With that, the defense formally requested a $50,000 bond at 10%. Ultimately, the court sided with the prosecution, keeping the bond at $500,000.
Six of the seven suspects in the viral downtown Cincinnati beating case appeared in court this week on new charges.
Montianez Merriweather, 34, facing felonious assault, assault, aggravated rioting, and a federal gun charge, saw his $500,000 bond remain unchanged. DeKyra Vernon, 24, had her bond slashed from $200,000 to $25,000 at 10% after her defense argued the brawl had been fueled by alcohol and overblown.
Aisha Devaughn, 25, also secured a reduction from $300,000 to $25,000 at 10%, with her attorney noting she had no prior felonies. Jermaine Matthews, 39, labeled by prosecutors as a "leader" in the attack, kept his existing bond.
Dominique Kittle, 37, had no change to his bond and remains in custody pending a mental health evaluation, with prosecutors calling him "a grave danger." Gregory Wright, 32, facing aggravated rioting and robbery charges, is awaiting arraignment.

Ashley Biden files for divorce after shocking Instagram post
Ashley Biden, the former first daughter who is fresh off filing for divorce from her husband, Dr. Howard Krein, shared a picture purportedly showing her ex with another woman.
“My husband and his girlfriend holding hands,” the 44-year-old wrote in the Instagram Story, over a picture of a man and a woman taken from behind. She accompanied the story with the Notorious B.I.G. song “Another,” featuring Lil’ Kim, which details an affair.
“What do you do when your man is untrue? Do you cut the sucker off and find someone new?” Lil’ Kim raps in the portion of the song Biden shared on social media.
The dark-haired man in a casual short-sleeved shirt and the blond woman in a strapless black dress are not immediately identifiable, but Biden’s message was clear.
Sunday morning’s Instagram Story — which was quickly taken down — came just hours before Biden filed for a divorce from the 58-year-old plastic surgeon in a Philadelphia court after 13 years of marriage.
Another since-deleted Instagram Story, showing Biden walking through a park giving a thumbs-up to the tune of Beyonce’s song “Freedom,” also appeared to allude to the split.
In a subsequent story accompanied by the Lauryn Hill song “Freedom Time,” she reposted a quote, “New life, new beginnings means new boundaries. New ways of being that won’t look or sound like they did before.”
Former President Joe Biden’s daughter is seeking spousal support from her ex as part of the divorce, court records seen by Radar Online show.
Biden, executive director of the nonprofit Delaware Center for Justice, is “unable to sustain herself” while the divorce is pending, according to the documents filed by her attorney Charles Meyer.
She is requesting a no-fault divorce, claiming that the marriage is “irretrievably broken,” and that the couple are living “separate and apart,” the documents show.
Biden and Krein did not respond to requests for comment Thursday.
The couple married in 2012 in Greenville, Delaware, two years after meeting through Ashley’s late brother, Beau, who died of cancer in 2015.
Krein, a New Jersey-born otolaryngologist at Thomas Jefferson University, proposed in 2011 at Big Sur, California.
They married at Delaware’s St. Joseph on the Brandywine Roman Catholic Church in a ceremony combining her traditions with Krein’s Jewish ones, before the couple and some 200 guests traveled to the Biden family’s nearby lakeside home in Wilmington for a reception and dinner.
Joe Biden, who was vice president at the time, personally prepped the house for his youngest child’s wedding.
“I kept telling Ash, we’ve got to open up the church and practice walking up and down the aisle so I can handle it,” he previously told People.
He was also full of praise for his future son-in-law, saying, “This is the right guy. And he’s getting a helluva woman.”
Krein also served on the Biden Cancer Initiative’s board of directors between 2017 and 2019, and advised his 2020 presidential campaign on its response to the COVID-19 pandemic in an unofficial capacity.
At last year’s DNC in Chicago, Ashley Biden recounted her wedding day and discussed her father’s words to her before she tied the knot.
“Before he walked me down the aisle, he turned to me and said he would always be my best friend. All these years later, Dad, you are still my best friend,” she said in an address that brought her father to tears.

Zelensky to meet Trump in DC on monday
President Donald Trump said he will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy at the White House on Monday afternoon to discuss an agreement "which would end the war" between Russia and Ukraine.
The Truth Social post came about half a day after Mr. Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. Mr. Trump said the meeting with Putin "went very well." He also said the meeting was followed by a "late night phone call" with Zelenskyy and other European leaders, including Mark Rutte, the secretary general of NATO. The call took place around 2:40 a.m. ET.
"It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement, which often times do not hold up," Mr. Trump said.
Mr. Trump did not share any details of the agreement. Diplomatic sources told CBS News that Mr. Trump said that Putin would make some concessions, but failed to specify what that might mean.
In his first remarks since Friday's summit, Putin said the visit to Alaska was "timely and very useful" and that addressing the "root causes" of the war "should be the basis of a settlement."
"We have not had direct negotiations of this kind at this level for a long time. I repeat: there was an opportunity calmly, in detail once again to express our position," Putin said, according to a transcript of a meeting with senior Russian officials released by Kremlin. "We, of course, respect the position of the U.S. administration, which sees a need for an early cessation of hostilities. Well, we would also like to resolve all issues by peaceful means. The conversation was very frank, informative, and I think it brings us closer to the right decisions."
European leaders, including French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, said in a statement that they had been debriefed on the meeting with Putin, and said Mr. Trump had supported security guarantees for Ukraine. The guarantees would allow Ukraine to "effectively defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity," the statement said.
Diplomatic sources told CBS that European leaders were relieved to hear President Trump offer a U.S. security guarantee, but described the idea as vague, and it's unclear how it would work.
Mr. Trump said Zelenskyy would join him in the Oval Office on Monday afternoon to discuss the proposal.
Zelenskyy has previously supported a ceasefire agreement to meet and discuss a peace agreement, but Moscow has rejected the idea. He has also criticized any talks that take place without Ukraine.
"If it all works out, we will then schedule a meeting with President Putin," Mr. Trump said. "Potentially, millions of people's lives will be saved."
First Lady Melania Trump on Friday also wrote a letter to Putin, saying he can "singlehandedly restore" children's laughter. Attorney General Pam Bondi posted the letter on social media Saturday.
"In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone — you serve humanity itself," the letter said, in part. "Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today. It is time."
Zelenskyy previously joined Mr. Trump and Vice President JD Vance in the Oval Office in March, but the gathering quickly descended into insults and chaos.
Mr. Trump's meeting with Putin in Anchorage on Friday ended without a ceasefire or peace deal. In brief remarks after the leaders' nearly three-hour meeting, Putin alluded to "unspecified agreements," but no further details were given. Mr. Trump said the meeting had been "extremely productive." Neither leader mentioned an end to the fighting in Ukraine.
The summit, which included a red carpet and military flyover, ended early without a planned luncheon between a broader group of officials. Mr. Trump returned to Washington, D.C. overnight.
In a taped conversation with Fox News' Sean Hannity before he departed from Alaska, Mr. Trump said he believes Putin wants the war to end and that the nations are close to a deal, and added that it's "really up to President Zelenskyy to get it done." He did not specify what an agreement might look like.
Zelenskyy has said in the past that he will never agree to any formal Russian annexation of Ukrainian territory or abandon the country's bid for NATO membership. Meanwhile, Putin has been unwavering in his demand to keep all Ukrainian territory that his forces occupy and prevent Ukraine from joining NATO, with the long-term goal of returning it to Moscow's sphere of influence.
Diplomatic sources expressed concern to CBS that Mr. Trump had dropped his ceasefire demand and feared that the U.S. president and Putin may have come to an agreement on deal terms that they may try to force on Ukraine. The sources said that European leaders are trying to show unity with Zelenskyy to push back.
Mr. Trump has called ending the war in Ukraine and Russia a top priority for his administration. He previously said he would end the conflict within 24 hours of taking office in January. He has criticized both Putin and Zelenskyy for failing to end the conflict. In recent months, he has appeared to become frustrated with Putin, giving several ultimatums and criticizing the Russian leader for the violence against civilians in Ukraine amid ongoing conversations with the U.S.
"I always hang up, [and] say, 'Well, that was a nice phone call,'" Mr. Trump said in July. "And then missiles are launched into Kyiv or some other city, and I say, 'That's strange.' And after that happens three or four times, you say, the talk doesn't mean anything."
Mr. Trump said Friday that he would not enact economic sanctions he had threatened against Russia if an agreement wasn't reached by early August. He said he "may have to think about" enacting the sanctions "in two weeks or three weeks or something."
There were strikes between the two countries overnight. Russia's Defense Ministry said its air defenses shot down 29 Ukrainian drones over Russia and the Sea of Azov, the Associated Press reported. Ukraine's air force said one ballistic missile and 85 Shahed drones were fired at parts of Sumy, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk and Chernihiv, according to the AP, and 61 of the drones were shot down.
A Ukrainian soldier in Sumy told CBS News that "things get even more terrifying on the front line" when there are peace talks.
"They try and seize more territory," the soldier said.

Treasury Targets Terrorism and Timeshare Fraud in Mexico
On August 13, 2025, the U.S. Department of the Treasury announced sanctions against four individuals and 13 companies in Mexico linked to timeshare fraud orchestrated by the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion (CJNG), a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization. Operating primarily out of Puerto Vallarta, CJNG has expanded its revenue streams beyond drug trafficking to include fuel theft, extortion, and elaborate timeshare scams targeting U.S. citizens—especially elderly victims. These scams involve impersonating brokers or officials to extract advance fees and taxes under false pretenses, often leading to re-victimization through follow-up frauds.
The Treasury’s action, taken under Executive Orders 14059 and 13224, was coordinated with the FBI, DEA, and Mexico’s financial intelligence unit. Among those sanctioned are CJNG members Julio Cesar Montero Pinzon, Carlos Andres Rivera Varela, Francisco Javier Gudino Haro, and businessman Michael Ibarra Diaz Jr., along with his network of companies involved in tourism, real estate, and financial services. The sanctions block all U.S.-linked assets and prohibit transactions with these entities, aiming to disrupt CJNG’s financial infrastructure and protect vulnerable Americans from further exploitation.

Tampon Tim's daughter says that Trump calling in the National Guard to crack down on crime in DC is "bitch baby, wussy, scaredy-cat behavior" because he wants to lock up "people that aren't rich and White and men."
We were seriously spared…

CNN's Jim Sciutto gets EMBARRASSED by a Ukrainian Parliament member after asking her if she thinks President Trump will be a good representative of Ukraine's interests.
"Well, he's President of U.S. So what I hope for him is not even to represent Ukraine with dignity. But to represent U.S with dignity."
CNN is literally being taught America-First by a European.

>your rod and your staff, they comfort me
>you anoint my head with oil
Cool, just found out this is a reference to a good Sheppard. God, like a Sheppard for His people, protects them with a rod / staff, and uses oil as way to protect the flock from disease and to heal wounds.
