The Santa Ana Police Department arrested a man in connection with a fatal hit-and-run involving a pedestrian. The incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. Thursday in the area of 1st and Sullivan streets. Authorities responded to a call about an unresponsive male lying on the road. When first responders arrived on the scene, they found the victim and pronounced him deceased at the scene. Investigators determined that the vehicle involved in the collision had been traveling westbound on 1st Street and fled the scene following the crash. Detectives caught a break in the case and were able to locate the suspect early Friday morning. Authorities arrested 51-year-old Luis Duarte Ibarra in Garden Grove, and his vehicle was seized as evidence. The Santa Ana native has been charged with felony hit-and-run. It is unknown if drugs or alcohol are a factor in the case. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective K. Catlin at 714-245-8224 or the Santa Ana Police Department’s Traffic Division at 714-245-8200.

The former Riverside County Sheriff’s deputy who was allegedly caught with more than 100 pounds of fentanyl pills last year was nabbed as part of a high-profile investigation into the cartel once led by the drug lord known as “El Chapo,” according to a report in the Press-Enterprise. Banning resident Jorge Oceguera-Rocha, 25, resigned his position as a correctional deputy after his arrest in September 2023. According to officials, he was driving his private vehicle in Calimesa when he was pulled over. Inside his car, investigators say they found a gun and 104 pounds of fentanyl pills. Ex-deputy faces felony charges after being caught with more than 100 pounds of fentanyl, gun, RCDA says Investigators did not detail how they learned of Oceguera-Rocha’s alleged involvement in drug trafficking, but now it’s apparent that he was the “corrupt Riverside County Correctional Deputy” mentioned in a Wednesday press release touting Operation Hotline Bling, the Press-Enterprise explained. That operation, which led to 15 arrests and the seizure of $16 million in narcotics, was aimed at the Sinaloa cartel’s activity in the Inland Empire. That cartel was once helmed

By Alexander Tin Edited By Paula Cohen April 26, 2024 / 6:52 PM EDT / CBS News Dairy cows to be tested for bird flu closely More dairy cows to be tested for bird flu after findings in grocery store milk 02:45 Preliminary results of tests run by the Food and Drug Administration show that pasteurization is working to kill off bird flu in milk, the agency said Friday.  “This additional testing did not detect any live, infectious virus. These results reaffirm our assessment that the commercial milk supply is safe,” the FDA said in a statement. The FDA’s findings come after the agency disclosed that around 1 in 5 samples of retail milk it had surveyed from around the country had tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza, or HPAI H5N1. The U.S. Department of Agriculture this week also ordered testing requirements on cows in response to the outbreak, which has affected growing numbers of poultry and dairy cows .  Positive so-called PCR tests in milk can happen as the result of harmless fragments of the virus left over after pasteurization, officials and experts

By Khristopher J. Brooks April 26, 2024 / 6:33 PM EDT / MoneyWatch Biden calls for higher taxes on billionaires Biden calls for higher income tax on billionaires: “They can afford it” 07:02 Many Americans aspire to join the ranks of the wealthy, but the income threshold for being considered rich depends a lot on where you live.  It also takes considerably more income to join the top 5% of earners than just a few years ago, according to new research from GoBankingRates.com, which examined state income data for the five-year period from 2017 to 2022. The latter year represents the most recent household income data from the U.S. Census Bureau.  The easiest place to reach the top of the heap is West Virginia, where an annual income of $329,620 will qualify you as among its highest earners. But you’ll have to earn more than twice that, at $719,253, to join the top 5% in Washington D.C.  Americans’ fortunes have improved during the last few years, partly due to the federal government’s pandemic stimulus efforts that doled out billions in aid to businesses and taxpayers

They were both first-round picks, this father and son, but the boy now will forever hold an advantage over the old man. Joe Alt was taken fifth overall by the Chargers on Thursday, four decades after John went 21st overall to the Kansas City Chiefs. “We’re a little competitive in our family,” John said, smiling. “So that will be one of the ‘gotchas,’ I’m sure.” The Chargers introduced their latest first-rounder Friday afternoon at their training facility in Costa Mesa, Joe Alt explaining that he felt gratitude and “straight excitement” for the opportunity before him. Listed by the NFL at 6-foot-9, 321 pounds, he’s expected to add a significant presence for the Chargers at right tackle on offense. The addition of Alt marked another step in coach Jim Harbaugh’s expressed desire to transform the Chargers into a more powerful, line-of-scrimmage force. Alt, 21, sounded ready for the assignment when he was asked what he liked best about playing offensive line. “Being able to hit someone every single play,” he answered. “You don’t have a play off. You’re going to be throwing your head in there

Just like Zendaya did with the trend of every pair of “Spider-Man” co-stars dating, the actor has fulfilled another franchise prophecy. The “Challengers” actress is well aware of the alleged “pipeline” through which female “Spider-Man” leads later star in tennis movies. She reacted to the trend earlier this week on “Good Morning America,” where she was appearing to promote “Challengers” with co-stars Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor. Host Robin Roberts showed Zendaya a meme with six photos, two each for her (who played Peter Parker’s and Spider-Man’s love interest, MJ), Kirsten Dunst (also MJ) and Emma Stone (who played love interest Gwen Stacy). Three of the shots showed the women in their respective “Spider-Man” roles. The other three? They showed Dunst in the 2004 rom-com “Wimbledon,” Stone as Billie Jean King in 2017’s “Battle of the Sexes” and Zendaya in her current role as tennis coach Tashi Donaldson in “Challengers.” “this spider-man to tennis pipeline is something serious,” read the X tweet that came with the meme. The group laughed in recognition of the post. “You, Emma Stone, Kirsten Dunst … now you’ve all gone

Ryan Schuermann had practiced for this moment. That’s all the Arcadia resident could do. In his mind, it was similar to a musician getting ready for a gig: You practice, then you get on stage and play your song and hope everything goes right. Schuermann was not playing a song, though. He was taking a guitar apart in his Sherman Oaks repair shop to put it back together. Specifically, he was performing a complicated restoration process known as a neck reset. He had to remove the neck from the body of the guitar and then put it back on at a better angle. And it wasn’t just any guitar — it was a well-known one used by some of the most revered artists of the 20th century. So it was more like getting ready for a gig at Madison Square Garden. “You can be really nervous, but all you can do is prepare,” he said. “I have done this for 15 to 20 years and I’ve done it a lot. It’s just preparation. I wasn’t super nervous once it’s go time. I was ready …

Health insurance giant Kaiser Permanente apologized to 13.4 million of its members that some of their search information may have been inadvertently transmitted to Google, other search engines and media platforms. The Oakland-based company reported that “certain online technologies” that were previously installed on Kaiser Permanente websites and apps were transmitting information such as medical terms that members searched on the company website to Google, Microsoft Bing, and X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, the company said in a statement to its members on April 12 and shared with The Times on Friday. Kaiser Permanente is one of the nation’s largest private nonprofit healthcare organization with 40 hospitals, 618 medical offices, more than 24,000 physicians and 73,000 nurses, according to the company’s website. There were no usernames, passwords, Social Security numbers, financial account information, or credit card numbers shared with those platforms, the company said. Information that may have been shared includes the unique internet address that identifies a person’s computer on a network, commonly referred to as an IP address. Users names could also have been transmitted and “information that could

Californians hoping to become the top 5% of earners in the state need to be making, on average, more than $600,000 a year, according to a new study from Go Banking Rates. Researchers for the financial website sought to find out how much money someone needs to make to land in the top 5% of earners. Unsurprisingly, those figures vary based on location. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau was used in the report. This is how much money you need to be ‘happy’ in California, study says For Californians hoping to join the prestigious club, residents would have to bring in an average income of $613,602, a nearly 40% increase from 2017, when the average income needed for the top 5% of earners was $447,207. Residents in Washington, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Virginia, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Maryland, Connecticut and the District of Columbia would also need to make more than $500,000-plus annually to land in the top 5% of earners, the report found. The report found that top earners typically live in Washington D.C., where it takes $719,000 to be among the top

Four probation officers at Los Padrinos Juvenile Hall have been placed on administrative leave following an internal review by the Los Angeles County Probation Department. The suspensions relate to multiple incidents of “youth-on-youth violence” at the embattled juvenile detainment facility in Downey. Earlier this year, eight probation officers were placed on administrative leave due to a December incident involving them and several of the incarcerated minors at the facility. Little information has been released about that incident, but the officers were suspended after officials viewed video that apparently captured it. Los Angeles County Probation Department Chief Guillermo Viera Rosa said these latest suspensions are part of a concerted effort to “root out departmental staff” that he says are responsible for perpetuating a “culture of violence, drugs, or abuse” at the county’s juvenile institutions. “While these incidents involve a small number of our staff, they violate our core values and undermine our ability to do our duty to provide a safe and nurturing environment for the rehabilitation of the youth placed in our care,” Viera Rosa said in a news release issued Friday. He added that

By Jennifer McRae Updated on: April 26, 2024 / 6:07 PM EDT / CBS Colorado Former Colorado paramedic Jeremy Cooper was sentenced to four years probation, 14 months work release and 100 hours of community service on Friday afternoon. Cooper is one of the two paramedics who were found guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the  death of Elijah McClain . Adams County District Judge Mark Warner stayed Cooper’s sentence until June 7, which he said will give Cooper time to “make arrangements to continue his employment.”   Jeremy Cooper CBS Former Aurora Fire Rescue paramedic Peter Cichuniec was sentenced last month to 5 years in prison  last month, the minimum sentence, and 3 years of probation by the same judge, Adams County District Judge Mark Warner. He said the sentence and the example it might send are tied to public safety, but also said he does not believe Cichuniec is a risk to the public. McClain was walking home in August 2019 when the 23-year-old Black man was confronted by police officers who forcibly restrained him and then the Aurora Fire Rescue paramedics — 

A man was stabbed on or near a Metro bus Friday in the University Park area. Officers responded to the intersection of Adams Boulevard and Figueroa Way around 12:35 p.m. and discovered a man had sustained an injury after being cut, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Circumstances of the stabbing remained unclear. Video from the scene showed police units parked directly in front of a Metro bus, but it was unclear if it was the scene of the attack or simply in the area. Los Angeles Fire Department paramedics took the injured man to a hospital in unknown condition. KTLA5 reported that the suspect was located at Grand Avenue and Adams Boulevard, where the attacker was taken in custody, and a knife was recovered. LAFD spokesman Brian Humphrey said a person was taken to a hospital from that location around 12:50 p.m., but it was unclear if that person was connected to the other patient. Anyone with information regarding the assault was urged to contact 877-527-3247. Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477. The proximity of the crime
