According to Reuters, the U.S. Justice Department said it filed a lawsuit to stop a nonprofit in Philadelphia from opening what could become the nation’s first supervised drug-injection site, in an effort aimed at addressing opioid abuse. The lawsuit follows warnings that cities who seek to open so-called safe injection sites, could face legal action. The lawsuit alleges Safehouse’s facility would violate the Controlled Substances Act by maintaining a place that would facilitate illegal drug use.

According to a recent lawsuit, Texas Rangers star pitcher Cole Hamels struck out trying to see the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last year despite paying over $70,000 to a London-based event promoter for VIP tickets. The former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher said he and his wife hoped to attend the 2015 New York City lingerie show and bought three VIP packages from Cornucopia Events. The suit alleges Hamels and his party got none of the perks and were even denied entry to the event. The Rangers starter is currently seeking $150,000 in damages for fraud and misrepresentation.
