Cathy Areu, a former Fox News guest dubbed the “liberal sherpa,” has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping her mother and stealing at least $224,000 from the 88-year-old.

Areu put her mother in a nursing home against her will on two occasions, allegedly dragging the elderly woman from her home on one occasion, authorities in Florida said.

“Every incident of alleged elder exploitation or abuse touches our heart and never fails to shock us,” said a statement from Miami-Dade State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle. “It seems particularly harder to understand when the alleged perpetrator of the exploitation is a daughter, or a son or another blood relative.”

In one instance, Areu’s mother allegedly denied signing paperwork that turned over her home to her daughter. Areu also allegedly used a revoked power of attorney to place her elderly mother in a nursing home without her consent on two separate occasions, the Daily Mail noted.

The former commentator is facing a number of felony charges including kidnapping, exploitation of the elderly, and organized scheme to defraud, according to 7 News Miami. Areu has been denied bond and is currently being held at Miami-Dade county jail.

Areu has been under investigation since 2019, according to prosecutors. The podcast host was reportedly evading authorities this summer, which included Areu spending time in Mexico.

Areu’s lawsuit against Fox News and some of the network’s personalities was dismissed last year.

Areu claimed in the now-dismissed suit that Tucker Carlson propositioned her and then declined to have her on his show after she rebuffed him. However, she was invited on as a guest on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” four times in four months after the alleged incident.

Taking aim at Sean Hannity, Areu said the host “threw $100 on the set desk” “completely unsolicited” and then “began calling out to the men in the room and demanding that someone take Ms. Areu out on a date for drinks at Del Friscos. He repeatedly yelled, ‘who wants to take her on a date?’ ‘Take her on a date to Del Friscos.’” The 51-year-old was “completely mortified,” she claimed.

Emails reveal that Areu actually asked a Fox News staffer via email if she could bring a male friend to the show. According to the network, Hannity offered Areu and her friend, “Alex,” $100 to get drinks at Del Frisco’s steakhouse nearby following her appearance.

Areu then sent an email thanking Hannity and his staff for including her on the show. In an email sent hours after that, she included a photo of a martini she apparently bought at the steakhouse.

A veteran postal worker was fatally shot while delivering mail in Milwaukee on Friday, according to police.

The letter carrier has been identified as Aundre Cross, a 44-year-old father of four. Milwaukee police said they are looking for suspects with the help of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and the FBI in a homicide investigation.

At around 5:59 p.m., officers responded to an injured person on the 5000 block of North 65th Street, the Milwaukee Police Department said in a statement. The victim had sustained a gunshot wound in an incident a little more than an hour earlier and he was pronounced dead at the scene by the Milwaukee Fire Department.

“The Milwaukee Police Department sends our sincere condolences to the victim’s family and to the USPS for the loss of their member,” the department said.

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service, which stressed that the “safety and security of Postal employees is a top priority,” is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of any suspects.

Milwaukee police said the suspect vehicle is described as a silver Audi Q5 SUV with tinted windows, and the suspect or suspects should be considered armed and dangerous.

Cross was an on-duty U.S. postal carrier with more than 18 years of service, according to authorities.

“The shooting death of a Milwaukee postal worker is alarming. My thoughts are with the victim’s family and colleagues,” Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson said in a tweet. “The postal worker in this homicide was a public servant, which makes this crime even more disturbing.”

A former co-worker to Cross, who asked to be identified as Tia R., spoke fondly of him in an interview with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

“He was a mentor to everybody,” she told the news outlet. “He was always ready with a prayer, a joke or a story. He never let anybody leave (any situation) without a smile on their face.”
