And according to the police report, Cooper did something previously unheard of in this column: He bit the woman&#8217;s iPhone.\n<\/p>\n<p>According to Fox News, the argument involved two different phones. The report stated that the two people were arguing about Cooper&#8217;s alleged infidelity when the woman grabbed Cooper&#8217;s phone, threw it against a wall, and then &#8220;eventually regained control of the device to go through it.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>After a further confrontation, per the report, Cooper threatened to break her cell phone. After that, &#8220;he bit down and broke the screen on the iPhone.&#8221; Per TMZ, Cooper has admitted to breaking the iPhone 17.\n<\/p>\n<p>Both were arrested on suspicion of two counts of domestic violence and one count of criminal mischief. Cooper later entered a not-guilty plea. And then, on June 11, Cooper was arrested again, this time for violating a protection order, per ESPN.\n<\/p>\n<h2 data-anchor=\"-new-employee-stole-macbook-and-then-disappeared-uber-recruiter-claims-in-viral-post\" id=\"-new-employee-stole-macbook-and-then-disappeared-uber-recruiter-claims-in-viral-post\"> New employee stole MacBook and then disappeared, Uber recruiter claims in viral post<\/h2>\n<p>In a viral LinkedIn post that&#8217;s since been deleted, a top recruiter for Uber in India claimed that a &#8220;new employee&#8221; ghosted the company on what was to be his first day.
