A New York woman recently discovered a 2.3-carat white diamond in an Arkansas state park while hunting for the perfect stone for her engagement ring.

Micherre Fox — a 31-year-old Manhattan resident — decided years ago that she wanted to find her own diamond. On July 8, she traveled to Crater of Diamonds State Park in Arkansas to begin her search, according to a news release from Waymon Cox, the park’s assistant superintendent.

"There's something symbolic about being able to solve problems with money, but sometimes money runs out in a marriage," Fox said in a statement. "You need to be willing and able to solve those problems with hard work." 

Fox spent three weeks scouring the park's 37.5-acre search area. On July 29, her final day at the park, she noticed a glimmer near her feet. At first, she thought it may have been a spiderweb, but upon closer inspection, she realized it was a diamond, according to the news release.

"Having never seen an actual diamond in my hands, I didn’t know for sure, but it was the most "diamond-y diamond’ I had seen," Fox said in a statement.

Park staff confirmed the gem was a diamond, and Fox was immediately flooded with emotion — falling to her knees crying and then laughing, according to the news release.

The gem — which is about the size of a human canine tooth — is the third-largest diamond discovered so far this year at Crater of Diamonds State Park.

Fox has since named her gem "Fox-Ballou Diamond," after the last names of her and her partner, according to the news release.

Since the Crater of Diamonds became an Arkansas state park in 1972, park visitors have discovered and kept over 35,000 diamonds. Adults can participate in gem hunting at the park, which is open to the public, for a fee of $15 per day, the Associated Press reported.

Earlier this year, a Minnesota resident unearthed a 3.81-carat brown diamond in the state park.

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Friday announced there have been nearly 200 arrests in the nation's capital, including those of murder suspects and illegal gun offenders, since the Trump administration federalized the city to tackle crime.

Bondi announced Friday afternoon there have been 189 arrests in Washington, D.C., "and counting."

Among those arrested were two homicide suspects, 17 suspected drug traffickers, 39 suspected illegal gun offenders, and two sexual predators, according to Bondi.

She added there were 75 arrests by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which has assisted D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in reinforcing patrols and manning city checkpoints since President Donald Trump took emergency control of the police force on Monday.

"This is what happens when you actually enforce the law," Bondi wrote in a post on X. "We’re taking back our Nation’s Capital! Together, we will make D.C. Beautiful & Safe Again."

Trump federalized the MPD under section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which allows the president to take control of the police force for 30 days. 

Hundreds of National Guard members have been spotted in the city, along with agents from federal law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), U.S. Capitol Police and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Nearly 50 people were arrested on Wednesday night alone, including 29 illegal immigrants.

Bondi's announcement comes one day after she rescinded illegal immigration protections in D.C. and instated an "emergency police commissioner" for the police department.

Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator (DEA) Terry Cole will take over for Metro Police Chief Pamela Smith, who has come under fire for directives that limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Bondi's order, "Restoring Safety and Security to the District of Columbia," targeted the city's sanctuary city policies and nixed limits on how MPD could interact with illegal immigrants.
