Reports: Cubs trading reliever Andrew Chafin to Oakland; pending medical evaluations WGN TV Chicago
Rochester, MN (KROC-AM News) - Rochester Police arrested a man on a felony assault charge following what could be termed a road rage incident on Saturday.
A spokesman says 50-year-old Eric Norrie, who has an unknown address, was being pursued when driving his pickup in reverse when he slammed on the brakes and the other vehicle crashed into the front of his pickup. This occurred around 5 PM in the 1000 block of 7th Avenue Southeast.
Following the collision, Norrie allegedly got out of his pickup and bashed in the windshield of the other vehicle with a crowbar before assaulting the other driver with it. The police spokesman says both men were arrested, but the second man was later released from custody after he was taken to the hospital to be treated for his injuries.
The police report on the incident says he told the responding officers that his actions were meant to contain Norrie until law enforcement arrived at the scene. The man and a woman indicated they returned to their home and found Norrie’s pickup blocking their driveway while he was taking photos of a vehicle in the driveway. Norrie told police he had been accused of a hit and run involving property damage to the other vehicle and wanted some photos of it. That led to a confrontation and efforts by the man and woman to prevent Norrie from leaving.
The incident remains under investigation and additional charges are possible.

Harvel local charges on hold pending federal case Crossville Chronicle
With Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson back in the fold (for now) and the team trying to trade him but wanting way too much given his current circumstances, Watson’s lawyer has shared with ESPN some of the details about Watson’s current circumstances.
Via John Barr of ESPN.com, attorney Rusty Hardin said that 10 women in all have filed criminal complaints against Watson. Two who have filed criminal complaints have not filed lawsuit against Watson. This increases the total number of women alleging that Watson committed misconduct to 24.
“We’re fully cooperating with the police,” Hardin said. “We’re fully cooperating with the District Attorney’s office and, when the criminal investigation is over we’ll fully cooperate with the NFL.”
Attorney Tony Buzbee, who represents the 22 women suing Watson, also provided a statement to ESPN on Monday.
“As of today, almost half of these women have given sworn statements to the police, and almost half have spoken to the NFL’s investigative team,” Buzbee said. “Both processes are very lengthy. We expect to provide further information to the NFL from all victims.”
Hardin reiterated his longstanding position that any settlement could not include a confidentiality provision.
“I do not want anybody to be saying that this guy paid off women to stay quiet and so, if there ever was a settlement of any kind, it would have to be public and therefore both sides, [Watson] and the women, would be able to say to the world at large whatever they wanted,” Hardin said.
It’s hard not to think that Hardin’s candor is aimed at getting the Texans to drop their price (supposedly three first-round draft picks and then some) to reflect the various uncertainties regarding Watson’s status. He could still be placed on paid leave. He could still face criminal charges. He could still lose anywhere from one to 22 trials.
Indeed, Hardin made it clear that he believes teams are ready to do a deal, in light of all current circumstances.
“Teams are ready to jump now if the Texans would trade with them, even while all this is pending,” Hardin said. There’s no question that teams, numerous teams, are still interested. The ball is in the Texans court.”
The onus is on the Texans to drop their price. If they do, perhaps the Broncos or Eagles or Dolphins (or someone else) will bite.
