More than three weeks after Irvo Otieno died during a mental health crisis at a Virginia psychiatric hospital, he will be remembered at a funeral today in Richmond. And here's where I need to tell you that the story will contain detailed descriptions of violence. Otieno died after seven sheriff's deputies and three hospital workers piled on top of him while trying to restrain him. That was on March 6. All 10 have since been charged with second-degree murder. Whittney Evans with member station VPM in Richmond has been following this and is with us now to tell us more.

***This post was written using information from ESPN.com***. In June 2014, Sean and Rikki McEvoy found a sweater at a Goodwill store in Asheville, North Carolina, that they thought was cool. They purchased it for 58 cents and had no idea what they had just stumbled upon. It was a gray wool sweater with "West Point" written on the front, and the name "Lombardi" sewn on a cotton swatch inside. It turned out to be owned and worn by Vince Lombardi, one of the greatest football coaches of all time.

Charlie Sheen is “winning” at fatherhood. The 57-year-old actor was seen out and about in Malibu on Thursday (Mar. 28), taking his sons, twins Max and Bob Sheen, for smoothies and snacks. Charlie dressed in a pullover hoodie, a pair of blue slacks, a white stop, and a black hat. Though Sheen’s sons, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Brooke Mueller, are just 14 years old, they are just as tall as their 5’10” father. They also sported sunglasses, helping to drive home the family resemblance.
