I was watching WJLA's local news at 6:30. This news bite came on just as the show was ending. WJLA is owned by Sinclair.

GLP cited a Truth Social post. The story is being to gain circulation. Fox News has picked it up.

As you note, AP has picked up the story.

Thanks for writing, and good evening.

Edited: I gather they're in Providence RI, and they stick to local stories. This tidbit came in on someone's laptop or phone or tablet, and he or she said, "hey, let's run this on the homepage." Then they came up for me at Google News.
