Dustin Lampros Details Craziest Child Predator-Catching Experience, ‘He Pulled a Gun’
MMA’s Dustin Lampros
Crazy Child Predator-Catching Moment
… ‘He Grabbed a Handgun!’

Undefeated MMA fighter Dustin Lampros has made a name for himself in the cage, but he’s also fighting to get child predators off the streets — and he’s telling TMZ Sports the wildest interactions he’s had while trying to make that happen.
We caught up with 9-0 Lampros ahead of his Shamrock FC title fight on March 22 … and he opened up on how he started his meaningful side gig with a friend two years ago to make a difference in his hometown.
“When he exposed it to me and brought me into that world, I instantly felt motivated to do something,” he said. “I looked at him right away and said, ‘Let’s do it, let’s help down here in the community.'”
“At first, it was kind of like, ‘let’s see what we can do.’ Then it kind of snowballed from there.”
In terms of total captures … he thinks they are around the 50 mark. While the 30-year-old has never gotten physical with anyone, he has had some weapons pulled on him.
“A kid pulled out a little box-cutter knife, and he’s just holding it in his hand, and then we didn’t notice it until about 20-30 seconds later,” Lampros said.

“I’ve had one time where a guy wouldn’t talk to me, and he just walked back to his car, and he said, ‘You better not follow me to my car,'” he said. “I had a hunch he was going to grab something, and he did. He grabbed a handgun.”
Luckily, nothing ever came of those encounters … but Lampros said they take all the precautions when they put themselves in these situations.

The next time you can catch Lampros, he will be at Shamrock FC 362 next Saturday … and he also weighed in on that big opportunity as well.

New video purportedly shows University of Pittsburgh student Sudiksha Konanki and Joshua Riibe, the person of interest in her disappearance case, hanging out separately at a bar just hours before she vanished.
Noticias SIN — a TV news station in the DR — obtained surveillance footage from the bar at Riu República Hotel in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, on March 6.

The video apparently captures Konanki in all-white clothes, with her back to the camera, walking toward a grassy area and leaning over, seemingly to vomit. She then strolls over to a friend and, at one point, excitedly jumps up and down.
Meanwhile, Noticias SIN identified a man hunched over the grass near Konanki as Riibe, who also appears to be retching. Riibe and Konanki never interact in the video.

The news station also acquired additional security footage allegedly capturing Konanki meandering around a hotel’s lobby with her friend before they eventually step out of frame.
Both videos were recorded around the time Konanki went missing in the early hours of March 6, after taking a stroll along the beach with Riibe, the last person seen with her. Cops say Konanki’s body has not been recovered, but they believe she may have drowned in the ocean and have not ruled out foul play.

Her clothes were found draped over a beach chair, leading investigators to believe she took a dip in the rough waters before going missing. Police have labeled Riibe a “person of interest” after he reportedly gave varying accounts of what happened under questioning.
Riibe has not been charged with a crime, but the authorities have pulled his passport so he can’t leave the country during the ongoing probe.

NYC Rat Eater
Officials Spring Into Action To Help Troubled Man
Published
GRAPHIC WARNING!
New York City officials are springing into action to help the man caught on video eating a dead rat because they think his health might be in danger, TMZ has learned.
A spokesperson for City Hall in Manhattan tells us … they’re reaching out to the Health Department to help locate the unidentified man, who was filmed noshing on the rodent while sitting on a sidewalk in The Bronx.
A stunned NYC woman can’t believe her eyes as she watches a man casually munch on a dead rat, exclaiming in disbelief, “This is fucking unbelievable. Look at this sh*t.” 🇺🇸🐁 pic.twitter.com/HE7s4xuvRu

An eyewitness shot the footage Saturday and posted it on social media, which left everyone who saw it horrified, including the woman who filmed it. That woman could be heard gasping as the man bit into the rodent.
Kathleen Corradi, NYC’s Director of Rodent Mitigation, warns that rats can be harmful to your health because they can transport pathogens, which are organisms that cause diseases.
She also says rodents can carry ectoparasites, which are leeches that infest the outer layer of your skin.
In addition, Corradi asks that people stay away from rats and their urine and droppings whenever possible, while also wearing personal protective equipment if they encounter a dead rodent.
Based on this information, it seems as if the rat eater’s health could be in jeopardy. Let’s hope the NYC authorities get to him sooner than later.
