Cops' Forceful Arrest
Two Camden County, Ga., deputies have lost their jobs after an internal investigation into their conduct during a high-speed chase one month ago.
Albert Crosby and Richard Billington were fired as deputies from the Camden County Sheriff's Office on March 1. Both had been employed since 2000.
As seen on video from a police dashboard camera, the deputies violated the department's pursuit and use of force polices during a chase involving 22-year-old suspect Irwin Griffen Jr.
The pursuit began when Griffen was caught driving 94 mph on Interstate 95. Griffen was also initially charged with criminal attempt to commit murder and aggravated assault on a police officer, among other charges.
However, all charges were later dismissed.

Cheerleader's Spill
Southern Illinois University cheerleader Kristi Yamaoka lost her balance during a routine at a NCAA game Sunday and fell about 15 feet, landing on her head.
Yamaoka, an 18-year-old freshman, wowed the crowd of 14,000 as she was placed in a back and neck brace, yet continued to perform a cheer.
"As long as my arms were functioning, I could do the fight song," Yamaoka told The Associated Press by telephone Monday morning from Saint Louis University Hospital. "I just knew that it would be a little easier for my team and squad to concentrate if they knew I was OK and not worrying about me. I didn't want the team to get distracted. I needed them to win for me."
Yamaoka, of Springfield, Ill., said she doesn't remember the mid-court tumble during a timeout. She was supposed to dismount to the front of the human pyramid, where two cheerleaders were ready to catch her, said the squad's cheerleading coach, Jennifer Graeff.
But Yamaoka lost her balance and tumbled off the back, landing on her head. "It's a little bit scary falling from 15 feet," she said. "That kind of thing doesn't happen often."
The cheerleader is said to be in fair condition and is expected to make a full recovery from a chipped neck vertebra and a concussion.
