CHP officers allegedly targeted by wrong-way driver in Davis

DAVIS — Two California Highway Patrol officers were injured Wednesday in Davis when a wrong-way driver intentionally hit their vehicle head-on, authorities said. The collision happened around 3:40 p.m. on eastbound Interstate 80 west of Mace Boulevard. The officers had just completed an enforcement stop on an unrelated vehicle when “an individual drove his vehicle at a high rate of speed along the right shoulder of the freeway and intentionally struck the patrol vehicle head-on,” CHP Assistant Commissioner Ezery Beauchamp said in a video statement posted to social media. The officers, who were wearing their seatbelts, suffered minor to moderate injuries in the crash. They were treated at an area hospital. The collision was caught on camera. The footage showed the SUV rolling over after hitting the patrol vehicle. The driver of the SUV was taken into custody. “Acts of violence like this against our officers will not be tolerated,” Beauchamp said. “Our CHP detectives and investigative personnel will work collaboratively with the district attorney’s office to ensure this individual is held accountable for his actions.” Two CHP officers injured in deliberate wrong-way crash on

Stanford basketball: Coach Jerod Haase out after eight seasons and no NCAA Tournament bids

Stanford finally made the move fans and former players hoped would come, dismissing coach Jerod Haase on Thursday night following a loss to Washington State in the Pac-12 tournament that ended another disappointing season. Haase’s eight years in charge generated no Pac-12 regular season or tournament titles and, more significantly, zero NCAA Tournament appearances. Athletic director Bernard Muir, who hired Haas in the spring of 2016 and stood by his man through one mediocre season after another, is expected to lead the search for a replacement. “While the on-court results fell short of our expectations, Coach Haase led our men’s basketball program with great integrity and made a deeply positive impact on many Cardinal student-athletes,” Muir said in a statement issued minutes after the 79-62 loss to WSU in the quarterfinals. “As we embark on the search for our next head coach, I wish Jerod and his family all the best in the future.” The lackluster performance under Haase, who departs with a 126-127 record, led several of the greatest players in school history to call for Haase’s job. “I believe a coaching change needs

Uncle who bludgeoned two nephews to death found guilty of murder

A San Gabriel Valley man was found guilty of murder by an Alhambra court Wednesday of bludgeoning his two nephews to death during an overnight rampage that began when he attacked and hospitalized his wife in 2016. Deyun Shi, 52, was convicted on two counts of murder with a special circumstance for using a deadly weapon in the deaths of 15-year-old Anthony Lin and 16-year-old William Lin. He also was found guilty of one felony count of injuring his then-spouse, Yujin “Amy” Lin. But in a bizarre twist, relatives allege that Shi’s wife may have been instigating her husband to act out violently for her own financial benefit. Meanwhile, Shi and his legal team were back in court Thursday trying to establish an insanity defense. A call to Shi’s defense team was not immediately returned. The facts and timeline of the events that took place on Jan. 21, 2016, and into the early hours of the following morning were not in dispute. Shi had learned that Lin was filing for divorce that afternoon, according to court documents. The wealthy importer and businessman left a Pasadena

Chargers trade Keenan Allen to Chicago Bears for a fourth-round pick

The Chargers traded their longest-tenured player Thursday night, moving Keenan Allen to Chicago in exchange for a fourth-round pick in this year’s draft, the team announced. Trying to free salary-cap space, the team approached the wide receiver about taking a pay cut, according to a person familiar with the situation not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. When Allen refused, the Chargers decided to deal him, with the Bears agreeing to acquire him for their 110th overall pick. In 11 seasons, Allen, who turns 32 in April, caught 904 passes for 10,530 yards and 59 touchdowns. “What Keenan Allen has meant to the Chargers for more than a decade cannot adequately be expressed through mere words,” John Spanos, the Chargers president of football operations, said in a statement. “Keenan’s impact lives in the hearts of our fans, in the communities which he has served and amongst the countless teammates who have formed a brotherhood with him. “There will only be one Keenan Allen, and we cannot thank him enough for the contributions he has made to our organization both on and off the field.”

Peso Pluma ends SXSW showcase with a heated message to haters: ‘Keep talking’

Peso Pluma paced across the stage to the sounds of uproarious applause. His set was coming to a close, but there was something he needed to get off his chest. “Every single one of us,” he told the crowd in Spanish, gesturing to his band behind him, “continue to make music for you all. And as long as I am alive, my team and I will continue to rock each stage, no matter what happens.” The 3,000 attendees — many of whom had waited hours in line to see the Mexican singer on Wednesday — cheered in response at Austin City Limits at the Moody Theater, which hosted Rolling Stone’s South by Southwest Future of Music showcase. “We will keep representing our Mexican flag wherever we can. To social media and the press, keep talking,” he continued, adding in English: “Keep talking motherf—.” The 24-year-old then used a Spanish expletive to refer to his lack of care for external commentary and opinions. “Que viva los corridos,” he said in Spanish: “Long live the corridos.” The speech came after Pluma decried “all the controversy,” without referring

Orange County DA hopes billboards, bus ads will deter criminals

Maybe you’ve already seen them — the billboards, bumper stickers and bus ads touting “Crime doesn’t pay in Orange County.”   If you haven’t, officials with the O.C. District’s Attorney Office are spending federal dollars to make sure that you do.   The multi-county public safety advertising campaign was launched to make it clear that criminals “will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” according to a news release from the OCDA’s office that also takes several jabs at legislators in Sacramento.   “Over the last several years, Orange County has experienced a significant number of defendants coming from Los Angeles, Riverside, and other surrounding counties with the sole purpose of committing residential burglaries and robberies, smash and grabs, and commercial burglaries,” the release states.   Saying that nothing is more important than public safety, O.C. DA Todd Spitzer blames Sacramento for making the job of prosecutors and investigators harder.   “When the risk is far less than the reward, it’s no surprise that criminals are committing smash and grabs, residential burglaries and simply walking out the front door of stores with arms full

Multiple suspected tornadoes leave trail of damage across Midwest

U.S. Updated on: March 14, 2024 / 11:42 PM EDT / CBS/AP Powerful storms cause damage in Midwest Powerful storms cause damage in Midwest 02:47 A severe storm front hit the Midwest Thursday, spurring multiple suspected tornadoes in Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky which damaged homes and knocked out power to thousands, authorities said. Storm damage in Indiana was reported in the east central city of Winchester, according to Indiana State Police, but it was unclear if there were any fatalities or injuries.  Joseph Nield, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Indianapolis, said it was highly likely a tornado caused significant damage in the Winchester area, based on radar data and reports from storm spotters and local officials. “It appears that is the most significant damage that we’ve had reported to us,” he said. A Facebook post on the Winchester Community High School page said all the schools in that school district would be closed on Friday. Another post said the high school had electricity and was open for emergency use for people who “need somewhere warm and dry. Preliminary assessments indicated that “up

When would a TikTok ban go into effect?

Politics By Caitlin Yilek Edited By Ellen Uchimiya Updated on: March 14, 2024 / 10:44 PM EDT / CBS News TikTok bill heads to Senate, fate uncertain TikTok bill heads to Senate, but no timetable for vote 04:04 Washington — Americans could lose access to TikTok within months if a bill that seeks to force its Beijing-based parent company ByteDance to sell its stake is signed into law. But the popular video-sharing app’s potentially swift demise depends on whether the bill can overcome a number of hurdles.  Lawmakers have long tried to regulate the platform because of its ties to China. They argue it threatens national security because the Chinese government could use TikTok to spy on Americans or weaponize it to covertly influence the U.S. public by amplifying or suppressing certain content.  TikTok has repeatedly stated that it would deny requests from the Chinese government for Americans’ data. It also points to “Project Texas,” an initiative that TikTok began in 2022 to safeguard American users’ data on servers in the U.S. and ease lawmakers’ fears.  The House overwhelmingly passed a measure Wednesday that gives

Man Sane at Time of Murders of Estranged Wife’s Two Nephews in Arcadia

A judge Thursday found that a man was sane at the time of the bludgeoning deaths of his then-estranged wife’s two teenage nephews in the boys’ Arcadia home. Superior Court Judge Jared Moses made the ruling at the prosecution’s request during the sanity phase of Deyun Shi’s trial after the testimony of a psychologist called on behalf of the defendant. One of Shi’s attorneys, Vicki Podberesky, said the defense objected to the prosecution’s request, asking that the jury be allowed to decide whether the 52-year-old man was sane or insane at the time of the crimes. “I truly believe that our client suffers from severe mental illness,” she said after the judge’s decision. The ruling came a day after jurors found Shi guilty of two counts of first-degree murder for the Jan. 22, 2016, slayings of 15-year-old Anthony Lin, who was asleep when he was attacked with bolt cutters, and the teen’s 16-year-old brother, William, who was killed while studying in a separate room. Jurors also found true the special-circumstance allegation of multiple murders and allegations that he personally used a deadly weapon — bolt

LA City Leaders Welcome EPA Administrator, Highlight Funding For New Projects

Los Angeles city leaders and elected officials Thursday highlighted progress and federal funding commitments to advance environmental goals and build zero-emission infrastructure at the Port of Los Angeles. Mayor Karen Bass welcomed Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan with Rep. Nanette Barragán and Councilman Tim McOsker, who represents the 15th District, which includes the Harbor Area. Officials touched upon a $3 billion Clean Ports program, funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, which includes funding for projects at the city’s port. “We are here to highlight the critical investments that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is making across our nation — and efforts to stand together as we confront climate change while investing in our economy,” Bass said in a statement. The federal funding will boost the local economy, create good-paying jobs and reduce emissions to combat climate change, as well as improve air quality around the city’s most vulnerable communities, according to Bass. Barragán touted the $3 billion in federal funds for the Clean Ports program is based on her Climate Smart Ports Act. “When I came to Congress our communities made clear that addressing

Judge rejects Trump bid to throw out classified documents case on constitutional grounds

By ERIC TUCKER, ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and TERRY SPENCER (Associated Press) FORT PIERCE, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge on Thursday rejected one bid by Donald Trump to throw out out his classified documents criminal case, and appeared skeptical during hours of arguments of a separate effort to scuttle the prosecution ahead of trial. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued a two-page order saying that though the Trump team had raised “various arguments warranting serious consideration,” a dismissal of charges was not merited. The case involves boxes of records, some highly classified, that Trump took to his Mar-a-Lago estate when he left the White House. Cannon, who was appointed to the bench by the former president, had made clear during more than three-and-a-half hours of arguments that she was reluctant to dismiss one of the four criminal cases against the 2024 presumptive Republican presidential nominee. She said at one point that a dismissal of the indictment would be “difficult to see” and that it would be “quite an extraordinary” step to strike down an Espionage Act statute that underpins the bulk of the felony counts

Trump-backed Senate candidate faces GOP worries that he could be linked to adult website profile

By BRIAN SLODYSKO and AARON KESSLER (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — For Republicans eager to regain the Senate majority this year, Ohio offers a prime opportunity to pick up a critical seat. But ahead of Tuesday’s primary election, there’s mounting anxiety inside the GOP that Bernie Moreno may emerge with the nomination. After vaulting into the top tier of contenders with a coveted endorsement from Donald Trump, Moreno — who has shifted from a public supporter of LGBTQ rights to a hardline opponent — is confronting questions about the existence of a 2008 profile seeking “Men for 1-on-1 sex” on a casual sexual encounters website called Adult Friend Finder. “Hi, looking for young guys to have fun with while traveling,” reads a caption on a photo-less profile under the username “nardo19672,” according to an Associated Press review of records made public through a massive and well-publicized data breach of the website. Records also show the profile was last accessed about six hours after it was created. The AP review confirmed that someone with access to Moreno’s email account created the profile, though the AP could not definitively confirm
