A misdemeanor larceny charge is the accusation. It is not a conviction. The $2,500 bond is a release condition, and a 2020 arrest in the same county is a different case.
Courtland Rogers was arrested Wednesday and booked into the New Hanover County Detention Facility on a misdemeanor larceny charge. Wilmington police say he stole Air Jordan sneakers from a business in late October. His bond is $2,500.
He married former Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans in December 2012. Their divorce was final in June 2014. In January 2020 he was arrested in New Hanover County on felony larceny and drug-possession charges. In September 2023 he survived an apparent overdose at a home in North Carolina.
All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

Netflix Sets Karen Read Series for Nov. 23
A premiere date does not reopen a count a jury already decided. She was acquitted of second-degree murder and of leaving the scene, and found guilty only of operating under the influence. Netflix's own description still calls them murder trials. A title-page line is not the verdict.

The Daily Mail reported Sebastien Bassong was fined £220 after a conviction for dodging a £7 Tube fare.
£220 is the fine. £565 is the bill once the £7 fare, £250 in prosecution costs, and an £88 victim surcharge are added. The conviction is what the court entered on Oct. 30 in a Single Justice Procedure hearing after he did not plead. That hearing is not a trial in open court. The Daily Mail's lead calls what he showed a train driver pass. The officer's statement, in the Mail and in The Independent, calls it a TfL staff nominee pass and an Oystercard. The Independent's lead calls it a train driver's pass and an Oyster card. May, in the Mail, and May 2, in The Independent and ITV News London, are not the same date line. A friend, in the leads, and another male, in the officer's statement, are not the same description.

The Daily Mail reported Zulma Guzman Castro appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court to fight extradition.
Wanted on suspicion of murder, in the Daily Mail, is not a finding. A week that was still on the calendar in a story updated at 10:05 a.m. Eastern, and a session Focus Noticias said was suspended that afternoon, are not the same status. The two teenage girls who died are not named in this story.
