    The Brothers, The Money Squabble And The Hedge Clipper Attack

The Brothers, The Money Squabble And The Hedge Clipper Attack

It's not uncommon for siblings to fight with one another, but in San Diego, a recent squabble between brothers ended with one being arrested for attempted murder.

It all started late last Friday afternoon when police received a call about an family incident that was unfolding in Rolando.

Although there aren't too many details about the exact circumstances, what is known is that brother #1 seems to have owed brother #2 some money (and when those funds weren't returned as promised, things got a little bit out of hand).

That's when the oldest sibling reached for a pair of hedge clippers and …

    The Devil Wore Prada… Or It Bank Robber in Devil’s Clothing?

The Devil Wore Prada… Or It Bank Robber in Devil’s Clothing?

When most people think of bank robbers, their minds wander to people in ski-masks who carry big guns.

But in Newport Beach, the most recent bank heist was pulled off by a clean-cut man who was sporting Prada sunglasses.  (If he can afford Prada, maybe he doesn't need to rob a bank... or maybe this isn't his first heist.) Authorities also say he didn't appear to have any sort of weapons with him when he decided to hold the Wells Fargo branch up.

The story goes something like this.  The mid 20-something walked in to the bank, cased the joint, turned …

Police Not Sold That Uber Has Reduced DUIs, But Have They?

Rideshare apps are all the rage these days, but despite claims by one company that they've helped take a bite out of DUI arrests, police say they're not exactly buying it.

The LAPD has confirmed that there are fewer DUI arrests in the city since these personal drivers started making their rounds, and yes, the numbers have dwindled since Uber and Lyft arrived on the scene in 2012, but there could be other reasons for the trend.

Increased driver education could be one of them.  Or, perhaps the public is starting to think more before getting behind the wheel of a …

    Theiving Jedi In Hot Water For Stealing Star Wars Memorabilia

Theiving Jedi In Hot Water For Stealing Star Wars Memorabilia

Just in time for Comi-Con...
An 18 year-old Riverside man could soon find himself booked at the Riverside County Jail now that officers believe he'd run off with someone else's swag.

The man was initially questioned in the downtown area by members of the gang unit.   After a few minutes, they discovered a bunch of (likely valuable) Star Wars memorabilia on him.

Although he tried his best to convince police that he'd "found" the items, the force in the young man was not strong enough to pull the lie off.

Detectives said he hardly seemed credible, so they confiscated collector cards, a poster …

Orange County Jails Help Feed The Less Fortunate

When you think about the county lock up, you're likely to think about things such as crime, bail bonds and people who are serving time.  But now, at least one of the Orange County Jails has started to give back to the community.

Namely, they're turning over excess lunch meat (and other food stuffs) to the St. Francis Home and the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center.

There is quite a bit of food that's prepared for inmates on a daily basis, according to a representative from the Theo Lacy Jail, and not all of it gets used.

And now, instead of tossing …

Grand Theft Cheese Bus? It Happened In NorCal

Authorities in Northern California have said they've arrested two men who literally made off with the cheddar.

Suspects Ryan Monaco and Brian Lancaster are believed to be connected to a crime that took place last weekend.  Basically, the pair is accused of commandeering Tillamook cheese vehicles from an area parking lot.

And once the thefts took place, the media, and social media fans of the beloved brand, made sure the news went viral.

Authorities think the suspects stole a pick up truck and a trailer that contained three microbuses, all of which were part of a cheese transport caravan.  The vehicles stopped …

OC Jail Expansion Proposal Inches Forward

The saga surrounding the proposed expansion of the James Musick Jail continues
The county says they need to add more bed space to accommodate the influx of prisoners that are being shifted to OC jails due to the state's inmate realignment program.

Lake Forest residents, though, are saying "not so fast", and are fighting against a proposal that would add more than 512 beds to the local detention center.

The fight has been going on for years, according to city officials, and it even once faced a push-back after the city of Irvine filed a lawsuit in hopes of preventing the Musick …

    Sheriff Says Cost To Build New Santa Barbara Jail Is Hard To Estimate

Sheriff Says Cost To Build New Santa Barbara Jail Is Hard To Estimate

The County Board of Supervisor may have given Sheriff Bill Brown the green light to collect $39 million in state grant funding that's been earmarked to help with an expansion at the Santa Barbara County Jail, Brown says it's still too soon to predict just how much that project will cost.

As it stands, he's tossed out what he calls a "best estimate" in terms of what operational, staffing and other related costs will look like.

But there's no guarantee that figure won't change in the future.

The expansion, which will be geared toward reducing recividism, will provide transitional housing for nearly …

    Move Over “Hot Felon”, SFPD’s “Hot Cop” Is Taking Over

Move Over “Hot Felon”, SFPD’s “Hot Cop” Is Taking Over

In the past few weeks there's been a lot of talk about Jeremy Meeks, a California bad guy whose well-taken mug shot got him a whole lot of attention.

But now, after an amateur photographer snapped a pic of San Francisco Police Department officer Chris Kohrs, the public has some new eye candy to fawn over- and this "hot cop" is on the right side of the legal system.

It all started when a local resident saw Kohrs while he was guarding a Castro District construction zone.  He took a few pics, uploaded the photos to social media websites and from …

Maguire Jail May Start Shipping Inmates To Alameda County

Last week, Sheriff Greg Munks requested the Board of Supervisors consider a request that would allow him to ship overflow inmates one county over.

The bid received unanimous approval; the two-year contract could be worth up to $3 million for Alameda County.

The contract is basically a "CYA" for the Maguire Jail.  As it stands, San Mateo detention facilities aren't overcrowded and the sheriff doesn't see that changing in the near future.

Essentially, it's an insurance policy; a "just in case" measure that would allow inmates at the Maguire Jail to be sent to Dublin in the case of unforeseen circumstances.

That could …
