North Queensland Cowboys forward Thomas Gilbert is facing three weeks on the sidelines for a crusher tackle on the New Zealand Warriors’ King Vuniyayawa.

In just his second game of first-grade, Gilbert has been charged with grade two dangerous contact to the head or neck.

The base penalty for that charge is 300 points, or three weeks, but worryingly for Gilbert he has 55 carry-over points from a previous incident.

An early guilty plea may have seen him escape with a two-week suspension but the carry-over points means that is highly unlikely unless he fights the grading of the charge.

The incident happened in the 44th minute of the Warriors impressive 37-26 victory over the Cowboys at Central Coast Stadium.

You can watch the incident in the video player below.

 

 

Gilbert was one of four players charged by the NRL Match Review committee after two matches on Friday night. 

Poasa Faamausili was charged with grade one dangerous contact to the head or neck on Kyle Feldt. 

Jack Murchie was also slapped with a grade one dangerous contact charge after an apparent chicken wing on Gilbert in the first-half. 

Meanwhile, Parramatta Eels forward Kane Evans was also hit with a grade one dangerous contact charge for a tackle on Penrith’s Liam Martin early in the second-half. 

While Faamausili and Murchie should escape suspension with an early guilty plea, Kane Evans could be in trouble due to 25 carry-over points. 

Danny Levi was the only player charged on Thursday night but should also be free to play in round six with an early guilty plea.

Round Five Judiciary Charges

Danny Levi (Manly Sea Eagles) – Grade One Dangerous Contact Head/Neck on Matthew Lodge – 100 points (75 early plea)

Poasa Faamausili (New Zealand Warriors) – Grade One Dangerous Contact Head/Neck on Kyle Feldt – 100 points (75 early plea)

Jack Murchie (New Zealand Warriors) – Grade One Dangerous Contact on Thomas Gilbert – 100 points (75 early plea)

Thomas Gilbert (North Queensland Cowboys) – Grade One Dangerous Contact Head/Neck on King Vuniyayawa – 300 points (270 early plea – 20% loading) + 55 carry-over points

Thomas Bertoli, a longtime Hudson County politico, is ordered to go before a magistrate judge for charges related to his alleged tax evasion.

×

Thomas Bertoli, a longtime Hudson County politico, is ordered to go before a magistrate judge for charges related to his alleged tax evasion.

The Department of Justice has charged a long time Hudson County politico with tax evasion, according to an announcement by U.S. Attorney Craig Carpenito.

Thomas Bertoli, 62, of Matawan, has been charged with two counts of tax evasion, one count of corrupt interference with the administration of the Internal Revenue laws, and one count of failure to file a tax return.

A summons was issued for Bertoli to appear before a United States Magistrate Judge at a time to be scheduled.

Bertoli was at one time a political aide to Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop.

According to the complaint, Bertoli operated several businesses, including The Doormen Inc.; City Street Associates LLC, a/k/a CSA LLC; and Urban Logistics LLC.

Individually and through his companies, Bertoli obtained payments from clients for services provided, including payments from developers and construction firms for expediting services on real estate development and construction projects, primarily in Jersey City, as well as payments from political campaigns for political consulting services in New Jersey.

Expediting in the construction industry typically refers to facilitating the acquisition of building permits and other government agency approvals required for the completion of real estate projects.

The government alleges that Bertoli obtained hundreds of thousands of dollars in gross receipts from 2009 to 2016, but as of April 18, 2017, he had not filed federal tax returns or paid any of the taxes due other than a $5,000 nominal payment for those years in September 2014 .

He allegedly concealed and attempted to conceal from the IRS his income and assets through various means, including cashing payments from his clients at check cashers, making false and fraudulent statements to the IRS, and using the Urban Logistics bank account for personal expenditures.

“From at least in or about April 2014 to December 2016, defendant Bertoli transferred over a million dollars from the Urban Logistics bank account to his personal bank account to fund payments for personal expenses, including, among others, payments to his spouse and payments for real estate, the mortgage on his Matawan residence, travel expenses, a family member’s hair salon business, educational expenses for another family member, vehicles, and political donations,” said Kenneth K. Long, a Special Agent with the IRS in the criminal complaint.

“Typically, defendant Bertoli moved money from the Urban Logistics account into his personal account and thereafter made payments for personal expenses from his personal bank account, and did not leave high balances in the personal bank account for any extended period of time.”

Contributions to Hudson County politicians 

According to the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission, Bertoli and his companies made several contributions to Hudson County Politicians.

In 2009 he contributed $500 to the election campaign of Thomas DeGise for Hudson County Executive, $500 to the election campaign of Mark Smith for mayor of Bayonne, $500 to Kenny Philip for municipal office in Jersey City,

In 2013, Urban Logistics made political contributions totaling $11,400 to various Hudson County political figures, including, in the words of the complaint, “Lavarro, Osborne, Gajewski, Ramchal, Watterman, Rivera, Coleman, Connors, & Lopez Team Fulop Jersey City Council.”

In 2014 Urban Logistics contributed $1,000 to “Roque, Rodriguez, Cirillo & Colacurcio (Vargas) Team Roque” in West New York.

In 2016 he contributed $500 to the campaign of Vincent Prieto for State Assembly.

He also donated to several political campaigns outside of Hudson County.

Bertoli is charged with tax evasion for calendar years 2009 to 2013 and evasion of assessment of taxes for calendar year 2014. He is also charged with corrupt interference with the administration of the Internal Revenue laws and failing to file a tax return for calendar year 2013.

Each charge of tax evasion carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The charge of corrupt interference with the administration of the Internal Revenue laws carries a maximum potential penalty of three years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

The charge of failing to file a tax return carries a maximum potential penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

U.S. Attorney Carpenito credited special agents of IRS-Criminal Investigation, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Laura J. Perry and special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Acting Special Agent in Charge Douglas Korneski in Newark, with the investigation leading to today’s charges.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys J Fortier Imbert and Jihee G. Suh of the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s Special Prosecutions Division.

The charges and allegations contained in the complaint are accusations, and Bertoli is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

The wife of Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas III was arrested last month in Texas after pointing a loaded gun at her husband’s head during an argument.

Nina Thomas was arrested on April 13 in Austin, Texas, and charged with first-degree felony burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to a court document obtained Thursday by ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.

A team spokesman said the Ravens are aware of the situation but that Thomas did not notify the team of the incident.

Earl Thomas was not arrested, and an attorney representing Nina Thomas said Thursday that she “was wrongfully arrested.”

According to an arrest warrant from the Travis County magistrate court, Nina Thomas told police that she confronted her husband at a rental home because she believed he was cheating on her.

Nina Thomas told police she used Snapchat to track Earl to the rental home, brought two other women with her, and found her husband and his brother in separate bedrooms with two other women.

According to the document, an officer viewed cellphone video footage that shows Nina Thomas placing Earl’s 9 mm Beretta less than a foot away from her husband’s head, with the safety disengaged and her finger on the trigger.

Nina Thomas told police she had called the other women to help confront her husband and took his handgun with an intent to “scare him,” according to the document. She had taken the magazine out of the gun but was unaware of a round in the chamber.

According to the arrest warrant, Tiffany Loving, who was one of the women at the rental residence with the Thomas brothers, told police that Earl asked Nina to give him the gun, but Nina began hitting him with her free hand, striking him in the eye, arm and groin. Earl and Nina then fell on the ground and “tussled” for the gun, the warrant said.

The two women who arrived with Nina — Camisha Garlow and Kayla Baham-Heisser — were also arrested for burglary of a residence.

Earl Thomas, a seven-time Pro Bowler who turned 31 on Thursday, wrestled the gun away from Nina Thomas, according to the document. When police arrived at 3:41 a.m., they found Nina Thomas with a knife and chasing Earl, who had the gun.

Earl Thomas indicated in an Instagram post Wednesday night, which has since been deleted, that TMZ would be releasing details of the altercation and said he wanted to “get ahead” of the report.

“It’s not really anybody’s business,” he said in the since-deleted post. “It pisses me off that it got out, but it’s the world we live in today. But instead of talking about us, just keep us in y’all’s prayers. Stuff like this happens.”

Thomas said he is talking with his wife and is seeing their three children. Nina Thomas’ first court appearance is scheduled for June 8.

Thomas is entering the second year of a four-year, $55 million contract with the Ravens and is scheduled to make $10 million this season. In his first year with the Ravens, Thomas reached the Pro Bowl after making 49 tackles and intercepting two passes.

“We became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning,” a Ravens spokesman told ESPN.

AUSTIN, Texas — Baltimore Ravens star Earl Thomas is listed as the victim in a domestic violence incident last month in Austin, where his wife was arrested after police say she told them she pointed a loaded weapon at her husband’s head when she found him in bed with another woman.

The incident, first reported by TMZ, happened in the early morning of April 13 at a rental home in East Austin in the 600 block of Brushy Street. Police say they responded to that location and found Thomas’ wife, Nina, chasing her husband in the parking lot with a knife, an arrest affidavit stated. Thomas, according to police, was carrying a pistol that they later determined he had taken away from Nina after she entered the home to confront her husband about cheating. Police ordered the Thomases to the ground and to drop their weapons, and the couple complied, the affidavit states.

Nina Thomas, 30, was arrested and charged with first-degree family violence for burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Two women who police say accompanied Nina to the residence to confront her husband were charged with burglary of a residence.

Court records show Nina Thomas was released from jail later in the day after posting $25,000 bail. An emergency protective order states she cannot have contact with Earl Thomas or the woman whom she found Earl in bed with for 60 days.

Houston lawyer Jonathan Goins, who is listed as the attorney of record for Nina Thomas, issued a statement Thursday saying his client was wrongfully arrested.

“We have already gathered information which controverts every single allegation made on the night in question,” Goins said. “We have begun working with the Travis County District Attorney’s Office to ensure that these charges do not stick and Mrs. Thomas’s pristine name is cleared.”

The Ravens said Thursday in a statement: “We became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning.”

Nina Thomas is set to appear in Travis County District Court on June 8 for an initial setting in the case.

Earl Thomas, who turned 31 Thursday, was not charged in the incident. He released a video Wednesday night on social media addressing the incident.

“Instead of talking about us, just keep us in your prayers,” Thomas said. “Stuff like this happens. We try to live the best lives we possibly can but sometimes it don’t go as planned. Just pray for us as we go through this stuff.”

Thomas told police that he left the home he shares with Nina in the afternoon before the incident after an argument about him drinking too much alcohol. He said he called his brother to pick him up and the two went to the downtown rental home to watch TV with two women — including one who Thomas told police he had been seeing for three or four months while he worked on his relationship with Nina.

Earl Thomas, according to his wife’s affidavit, was awoken in bed with the other woman at around 1 a.m. when Nina entered the room and pointed a black pistol at him. Nina largely corroborated the events, telling police she put the gun to her husband’s head to scare him. Police say Nina told them she removed the magazine thinking the gun could not fire but was unaware that the gun had a round in the chamber. Nina, according to police, admitted to disengaging the gun’s safety.

Nina told police, they say, that she tracked her husband’s whereabouts to the rental home through his Snapchat account, which showed several videos of Earl with the other woman. Two women who Nina brought to confront her husband were also taken into custody: her sister, Kayla Baham-Heisser, and her friend Camisha Garlow, the ex-spouse of Earl Thomas’ brother, Seth, who was with the football player at the rental home.

Baham-Heisser took footage of the incident with her phone that police reviewed. The video, according to police, shows Earl Thomas at the top of a staircase with Nina placing the gun within a foot of his head with her finger on the trigger. Nina struck Earl in the nose before the video ended, police said. The video also showed Garlow attempting to attack a woman who was in the home with Seth Thomas.

Thomas, a safety, is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and considered one of the top defensive players in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl in the 2013 season with the Seattle Seahawks, who drafted him in the first round out of the University of Texas in 2010.

AUSTIN, Texas – Details have surfaced of an incident in April involving former Texas Longhorns star and current Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas and his wife, Nina Thomas.

According to Travis County court documents obtained by KSAT-12, Nina Thomas was arrested on April 13 in Austin after she confronted Earl Thomas with a gun and pointed the weapon at his head.

The arrest affidavit stated that Nina Thomas confronted Earl at a rental home because she suspected him of cheating on her.

Nina and two other women broke into the home and found Earl and his brother Seth Thomas in separate rooms, each with a woman, documents showed.

At one point, Nina had the loaded gun less than a foot away from her husband’s head, according to the affidavit.

Earl Thomas managed to wrestle the gun away from Nina and police were called.

Officers arrived around 3:41 a.m. and found Nina Thomas chasing Earl with a knife.

According to the document, Nina Thomas told police her intent was just to “scare” her husband, but she did not realize there was a round in the chamber even though she had taken the magazine out of the gun.

Nina Thomas was charged with first-degree felony burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to the affidavit.

The other two women with Nina Thomas were arrested for burglary of a residence.

Earl Thomas was not arrested for the incident. The 7-time Pro Bowl player posted a since-deleted video on Instagram Wednesday saying he was notified the story was about to come out and he wanted to get ahead of the report.

The story was initially published by TMZ.

“It’s not really anybody’s business. It pisses me off that it got out, but it’s the world we live in today. But instead of talking about us, just keep us in your prayers. Stuff like this happens,” Thomas said in the deleted video. “We try to live the best lives we possibly can, but sometimes that doesn’t go as planned. Just pray for us as we go though this.”

Thomas added he is speaking with Nina and seeing his children.

Thomas played at Texas from 2007 to 2009 and was drafted in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks.

Baltimore, his current team, has not announced whether any disciplinary action would be taken against Thomas.

“We have already gathered information which controverts every single allegation made on the night in question,” Goins said. “We have begun working with the Travis County District Attorney’s Office to ensure that these charges do not stick and Mrs. Thomas’s pristine name is cleared.”

The Ravens said Thursday in a statement: “We became aware of the situation when we read and saw it on the reports late last night and early this morning.”

Nina Thomas is set to appear in Travis County District Court on June 8 for an initial setting in the case.

Earl Thomas, who turned 31 Thursday, was not charged in the incident. He released a video Wednesday night on social media addressing the incident.

“Instead of talking about us, just keep us in your prayers,” Thomas said. “Stuff like this happens. We try to live the best lives we possibly can but sometimes it don’t go as planned. Just pray for us as we go through this stuff.”

Thomas told police that he left the home he shares with Nina in the afternoon before the incident after an argument about him drinking too much alcohol. He said he called his brother to pick him up and the two went to the downtown rental home to watch TV with two women — including one who Thomas told police he had been seeing for three or four months while he worked on his relationship with Nina.

Earl Thomas, according to his wife’s affidavit, was awoken in bed with the other woman at around 1 a.m. when Nina entered the room and pointed a black pistol at him. Nina largely corroborated the events, telling police she put the gun to her husband’s head to scare him. Police say Nina told them she removed the magazine thinking the gun could not fire but was unaware that the gun had a round in the chamber. Nina, according to police, admitted to disengaging the gun’s safety.

Nina told police, they say, that she tracked her husband’s whereabouts to the rental home through his Snapchat account, which showed several videos of Earl with the other woman. Two women who Nina brought to confront her husband were also taken into custody: her sister, Kayla Baham-Heisser, and her friend Camisha Garlow, the ex-spouse of Earl Thomas’ brother, Seth, who was with the football player at the rental home.

Baham-Heisser took footage of the incident with her phone that police reviewed. The video, according to police, shows Earl Thomas at the top of a staircase with Nina placing the gun within a foot of his head with her finger on the trigger. Nina struck Earl in the nose before the video ended, police said. The video also showed Garlow attempting to attack a woman who was in the home with Seth Thomas.

Thomas, a safety, is a seven-time Pro Bowl selection and considered one of the top defensive players in the NFL. He won a Super Bowl in the 2013 season with the Seattle Seahawks, who drafted him in the first round out of the University of Texas in 2010.

Baltimore Ravens safety Earl Thomas took to IG to announce that he’ll join TMZ to discuss an altercation that occurred between himself and his wife, Nina. 

Shortly after Thomas posted the message, TMZ published a report that detailed the situation. According to police reports, Earl left their home after getting into an argument with Nina and was picked up but his brother, Seth. Later in the day, Nina checked into Earl’s Snapchat and saw that he was with another woman. She was also able to find out his location, an Airbnb rental in Austin, Texas. Once she pinpointed where Earl was at, she took his 9mm Berreta and called up two women to accompany her to confront her husband. Nina said she brought the gun to “scare him.”

When they arrived at the Airbnb, they “discovered Earl and Seth naked in bed with other women.”  

Nina admits that she then pointed the gun at her husband’s head, thinking “she took out the magazine thinking that the gun could not fire.” Police later found out that there was a bullet in the chamber. Footage that was shot by one of the women that accompanied Nina was reviewed by cops, who said that the gun was “less than a foot away” from Earl’s head. They added, “it can clearly be seen that Nina’s finger was on the trigger and the safety is disengaged.”

Police say that Earl was able to get the gun away from Nina, who was later arrested. She was charged with burglary of a residence with intent to commit aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but was freed on bond, TMZ reports. The two other women were also arrested. The Ravens player told cops that his wife struck him multiple times as he attempted to get the gun away from her. A woman that was at the house with Earl and his brother Seth alleged that Nina threatened her and the others with the gun and told them that she had “something for all you hoes.”

Thomas didn’t provide his side of the story but will presumably get into it all during his interview with the publication. “Obviously this is not how I wanted my birthday breakfast to start out or my birthday but it is what it is,” Thomas, who’s turning 32 on Thursday, May 7, wrote of the April 13 incident.

“I just wanted to get ahead of it,” Thomas said in a video that accompanied the post. “I mean, it’s really not anybody’s business. It pisses me off that it got out, but it’s the world we live in today. But instead of talking about us, just keep us in y’all prayers. Stuff like this happens, bro. We try to live the best life we possibly can but sometimes it don’t go as planned. Just pray for us as we go through this stuff. We’ve been talking. I’m seeing my kids, so just keep us in your prayers.”
