    Supermodel Tyra Banks, who recently went public with details about her struggles getting pregnant, is a new parent, The Smoking Gun has learned.

    Banks and photographer Erik Asla last month welcomed York Banks Asla into the world. The boy was born via a surrogate mother at a Connecticut hospital.

    Banks rushed to disclose the child's arrival in an Instagram post shortly after a TSG reporter sent her husband an e-mail inquiring about the birth.

    In a People magazine interview last year, Banks, 42, spoke of her difficulties conceiving, saying that she had undergone in vitro fertilization procedures in the hopes of having a baby.

    “When you're like, ‘OK, I’m just going to do it,’ then it’s not so easy as you get older," Banks said as she teared up. “I’ve had some not happy moments with that, very traumatic moments," she added. “It’s difficult as you get older. It’s not something that can just happen.”

    On the day following the baby’s birth, a photo (seen above) of Banks and Asla appeared on the star’s Instagram page with the caption, “Everyone deserves to be loved like this.” It was the only social media posting the “America’s Next Top Model” host made in the days following her son’s birth.

    According to domain registry records, the url yorkbanksasla.com was purchased on January 5 by Ty Loke, LLC, a Los Angeles firm controlled by Banks. The star has previously used the company when registering scores of domains, including those for her charitable foundation and Bankable Productions, a film and TV company.

    Ty Loke, LLC is also the holder of trademarks like “Tyra Banks,” “Modeland,” and “Smize” (a Banks catchphrase for “smiling with your eyes”).

    According to press reports, Banks met Asla, 50, in 2013 while he was a judge on the Norway version of “Top Model.” Asla has older children, including a daughter who works as an Elite model.

    An Uber driver leveled a handgun at a passenger during a dispute Friday evening that began when the driver, fearing that his customer was going to throw up in the Lexus, attempted to yank him from the vehicle, Florida cops report.

    According to investigators, Patrick McDonald, 67, was driving Shane Fabry and other passengers home around 8 PM when Fabry asked McDonald to pull the car over “in the event that he began to vomit.”

    After McDonald (seen at right) stopped the auto, Fabry, 27, advised that he was “feeling better and no longer felt like he was going to be sick.” McDonald, however, apparently did not want to take any chances. The driver “told the victim that he needed to get out the car and he was not to throw up” in the $75,000 ride.

    Upon opening the rear passenger door, McDonald “attempted to pull the victim out of the car by grabbing his left arm,” a Manatee County Sheriff’s Office deputy alleged. During the argument that ensued, McDonald first took an “aggressive fighting stance” and then reached into the car and “produced a black semi-automatic handgun,” according to a probable cause affidavit.

    Fabry--a licensed private investigator who also holds a Florida firearms license--and a witness said that McDonald pointed the guy directly at Fabry, who is pictured at left.

    When questioned by cops, McDonald admitted “grabbing the gun out of the car,” but denied pointing it at Fabry. McDonald said he retrieved the weapon “because he was in fear for his life.” Asked why he was scared, McDonald replied that his passengers were talking about “sticking dicks in his ear.”

    McDonald was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, a felony, and misdemeanor battery. He was released from custody Saturday after posting $2500 bond, and is scheduled for a February 26 court appearance.

    Earlier today, Fabry placed a link on his Facebook page to a Bradenton Herald story about McDonald’s collar. In response, one of Fabry’s friends remarked, “Nice... You should have puked in that shit!!” Another pal declared, “You shoulda shit too. LOL.”

    An Iowa woman bit and scratched her husband when he declined to have sex with her, according to cops who arrested the suspect for domestic battery.

    As detailed in a criminal complaint, when Rachel Butterbaugh, 33, arrived home from work around 10 PM Saturday night, her spouse was in bed inside the couple’s North Liberty residence.

    Butterbaugh, pictured at right, “said she wanted to have sex,” police reported. But when her husband said no, Butterbaugh allegedly “became physical and began scratching and biting the victim.”

    Following the confrontation, Butterbaugh called 911 and claimed that her husband had choked her. But when police arrived, they concluded that she had attacked her spouse, who had “several scratch marks on his neck and a bloody lip.”

    Butterbaugh, who admitted biting her husband, was arrested on a misdemeanor domestic abuse charge and booked into the county jail. She was released from custody late Sunday morning after posting $2000 bond.

    Court records show that Butterbaugh’s rap sheet includes two prior assault convictions.

    A Botox devotee is facing criminal charges for allegedly scamming two Florida doctors into providing her with nearly $1800 in wrinkle reduction procedures, according to police.

    Investigators allege that Nicole Leigh Brown, 31, this month received $870 worth of Botox and Juvederm injections during an appointment at the St. Petersburg office of plastic surgeon Dr. William Adams.

    When presented with the bill, Brown claimed that she had left her credit card in her auto. “Suspect fled without paying,” according to a criminal complaint charging Brown with grand theft.

    Brown has also been charged with passing a bad check following treatment in September at the office of another St. Petersburg plastic surgeon. Police allege that Brown gave Dr. Lawrence Kass a $902 check that she knew would bounce.

    Brown, cops say, received Botox and Juvederm injections from Kass.

    Pictured above, Brown was arrested yesterday and booked into the Pinellas County jail. She was released from custody early this morning after posting $4000 bond, according to jail records.

    After jailers discovered painkillers and muscle relaxants stashed in her vagina, a Florida woman said she was “unsure” how the pills got inside her body, according to an arrest report.

    Dusty Rae Ingram, 38, was arrested earlier this month for violating probation terms imposed in connection with her 2013 conviction for child abuse and battery, according to court records.

    Ingram, whose rap sheet also includes collars for stalking, assault, and theft, was transported January 5 to the Okaloosa County jail, where a female corrections officer conducted a strip search during the intake process.

    During the search, the jailer discovered “several pills taped up in a plastic jeweler’s bag, partially exposed in the defendant’s vagina.” After being read her rights, Ingram identified the pills as the painkiller Percocet and Zanaflex, a muscle relaxant.

    Pictured above, Ingram claimed to have a prescription for the medications, and admitted that she “knew she was not allowed to bring the pills into the jail.” However, Ingram “denied doing so knowingly,” claiming that she “keeps the pills in her purse and is unsure how they got from the purse into her vagina.”

    Despite that assertion, Ingram was charged with introducing contraband into a correctional facility. She is being held without bond on that felony count as well as the probation violation rap.

    A Florida man yesterday shoved his mother to the ground after her dog ate his pot, according to cops who arrested the suspect for domestic battery.

    Mackenzie Freeman, 25, “became upset” early Tuesday morning “after his mother’s dog ate his marijuana,” a criminal complaint notes.

    The 6’ 2”, 222-pound Freeman argued with his 57-year-old mother in the pair’s Largo home before he allegedly pushed her to the ground and hit her in the head with a pair of pants. Freeman, seen at right, also “punched several holes in the walls,” police reported.

    Court filings do not indicate how much marijuana was consumed by the dog, or if the animal suffered adverse effects from ingesting the pot.

    When cops arrived at the residence, Freeman (seen above) took off running, but was eventually apprehended after a brief foot chase. He was returned to the residence, where cops found a marijuana pipe “in plain view” in the living room.

    After being read his rights, Freeman reportedly claimed ownership of the pipe and “admitted to pushing his mother down and hitting her in the head with his pants.” A Largo Police Department officer noted in the complaint that Freeman stated that his mother "deserved it."

    Freeman was charged with three misdemeanors: domestic battery, possession of drug paraphernalia, and resisting an officer without violence. He was released from jail late Tuesday afternoon on his own recognizance.

    Freeman’s rap sheet includes prior arrests for theft, burglary, and narcotics possession.

    Unbowed by their recent arrest, Michigan’s “sex toy bandits” sought to cash in on their notoriety with a crowdfunding appeal that described the duo as “real people with real problems.”

    In a Facebook post Saturday reporting that “the sex toy bandits out,” William Cornelius asked if “anyone know how i can make money off this.” The 25-year-old then noted that he was “trying to get this wedding popping,” adding--apparently facetiously--that the nuptials “gonna be at the dollar tree.”

    Last week, Cornelius proposed to Sheri Moore, 20, over the loudspeaker at a Walmart in Bay City, Michigan, where the couple resides. Minutes later, Cornelius was arrested for stealing a vibrator, an edible thong, and other sex toys from a Spencer’s gift shop. Cornelius reportedly told police the items were for his fiancée (who was collared for stealing jewelry from Walmart).

    About an hour after his original Facebook message, Cornelius posted a link to a GoFundMe page soliciting “Wedding funds.” The page--which included “corneliusbandits” in its url--sought a maximum of $10,000 and appeared to have been authored by Moore.

    The pitch, in its entirety, read: “Yes we are the sex toy bandits, we are real people with real problems. We need help raising money for our wedding because I am currently pregnant and homeless we do not want our baby born out of wedlock. Anything will help thank you for taking the time to read our story and thank you in advance for the help.”

    It is unclear whether the fundraising bid yielded any cash since the GoFundMe page has been deleted. But a screen grab of the page taken seven hours after the appeal was launched showed no donations to the couple, who are pictured at left.

    The GoFundMe pitch was criticized by Cornelius’s family members, one of whom wrote, “Really Billy? Why not get a job like everyone else does?” and “R U serious???” Another relative commented, “I'm sorry to say this to u B. But u disappoint me !! I love you n that's y I'm so fkn disgusted!!! It's NOT funny at all!!!!”

    A motorist was noshing on chicken wings as she led Ohio cops on a chase that ended with her arrest for drunk driving, according to a police report.

    Judith Knight, 57, was allegedly under the influence on December 20 when her vehicle struck another car on a roadway in Brunswick Hills, a township about 25 miles west of Akron.

    Knight did not stop following the accident, so the other motorist called 911 while tailing Knight’s car to a cul-de-sac, where the second driver sought to block Knight’s vehicle. Before police arrived, Knight revved her engine and “appeared [to be] going to ram the complainant’s vehicle,” according to the police report.

    When cops arrived on the scene around 7 PM, Knight drove directly toward a police cruiser before veering across the front lawn of an adjacent residence. She then led police on a 25 mph chase that concluded when she “had no more road to travel” inside a new housing development.

    As Knight staggered from her car, an officer "observed a brownish substance" around her mouth that appeared to be blood. But the cop subsequently “determined it to be barbecue sauce from chicken wings that Ms. Knight was eating in her vehicle.”

    Police spotted a styrofoam container “that had contained the chicken wings Ms. Knight had been eating.” The chicken remains, the report notes, “were scattered throughout the front interior passenger compartment.”

    Knight, whose blood alcohol content was measured at .164, twice the legal limit, told police that she had been at Molly McGhee’s Sports Pub, where she had watched Cleveland Browns and Cleveland Cavaliers games on TV.

    Knight was charged with drunk driving, failing to stop after an accident, and fleeing an officer. Her arrest came 12 days after another Ohio woman--who was eating a bowl of cereal--led police on a 30-mile high-speed chase.

    The police account of Knight’s alleged antics was authored by Patrolman Charles Chalupa.

    A 70-year-old Florida inmate told cops that he was sure that a fellow detainee had doused him with urine because, “I have had a golden shower before from a woman and it burned my eyes,” according to a police report.

    Officers responded last Sunday to the Indian River County jail after John Ryasko reported that Javerious Yearby, 23, “threw a cup of urine on him.” Ryasko said that Yearby beckoned him to leave his cell by saying, “Hey, white nigga, come here.”

    Ryasko charged that as he walked toward his cell’s door, Yearby tossed the cup of urine. When a cop asked Ryasko “how he knows if the substance was urine or water,” the septuagenarian revealed his prior golden shower experience, noting, "That's how I know it's piss because it burned my eyes."

    When questioned, Yearby claimed that Ryasko offered to perform a sex act upon him. “That’s all I have to say,” Yearby added.

    The cell block’s video surveillance camera was broken, so the encounter was not recorded. And since a cop could not determine whether “a small amount of clear liquid substance on the cell bars and floor” was urine, no arrest was made.

    Ryasko has been locked up since his October arrest for trespassing and disorderly conduct. Yearby is being held in connection with assorted felony and misdemeanor charges, including evidence tampering, leaving the scene of an accident, and marijuana possession.

    Police are seeking to identify a man who placed raw bacon on the door handles of a Las Vegas mosque, an apparent hate crime that was recorded by surveillance cameras.

    According to cops, the defacement of the Masjid Tawheed mosque occurred around 3:15 AM Sunday. Video captured a man first placing bacon on the handle of the mosque’s rear door. The vandal then walked to the mosque’s main entrance and stringed several pieces of bacon across the front door handles (as seen in the adjacent photo).

    The bacon was discovered hours later by worshipers arriving at the mosque for early morning prayers. Muslims are prohibited from touching or consuming bacon and other pork products.

    Based on surveillance video, the suspect, who wore a baseball cap and glasses, appears to be a white male with a mustache, goatee, and long sideburns. It is unclear how he arrived at the mosque in Spring Valley, a town two miles from the Las Vegas Strip.

    In April, an Oklahoma mosque reported to cops that “someone put uncooked bacon on the door handles of the men's and women's mosques” on a Sunday morning. No arrests have been made in connection with the incident at the Islamic Society of Edmond.
