The California Highway Patrol ordered a statewide tactical alert Friday to increase available officers in anticipation of possible civil unrest leading up to the presidential inauguration, authorities said. The alert allows CHP to increase overall awareness and the number of officers available to help protect state highways, state buildings, and the state Capitol in Sacramento. “For many months, the CHP has worked closely with local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies to ensure the outcome of the election will be respected and that any protests which may occur are free from violence,” said CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray in a statement. “As such, the CHP is prepared to respond to any potential threats which may arise statewide.” The CHP previously ordered statewide tactical alerts on Election Day in November and during protests and uprisings after the high-profile police killings of George Floyd, a Black man in Minneapolis and Breonna Taylor, a Black woman in Louisville, said CHP Lt. Jathan Casteneda, a spokesman for the agency. The possibility of violence resumed following the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, where President Donald Trump incited a mob…

There has been a mad dash across the Inland Empire to get COVID-19 shots since California on Wednesday, Jan. 13, expanded eligibility for receiving the vaccine. Demand is so great that, in less than two hours Friday afternoon, Jan. 15, Riverside County residents grabbed all 11,000 available appointments for new vaccination clinics. The web traffic overwhelmed the county’s vaccine website, causing the appointment page to freeze up as people tried to get on it. Amid the confusion and chaos, many have questions. Here are a few, along with answers: Q: Who is eligible to get a COVID-19 shot? A: In Riverside County, people who are 65 and older, along with law enforcement officers, teachers, food and agriculture workers and emergency workers such as firefighters can now get shots, county spokeswoman Brooke Federico said. Food workers includes grocery-store employees, she said, as well as those who work in stores that sell a wide variety of other products, if groceries are also sold. Details on who is eligible under the food-service category are available at this state website: https://covid19.ca.gov/search/?q=grocery#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=grocery&gsc.page=1 In San Bernardino County, those who are at…
A retired judge appointed to hold a public examination of the death of Andres Guardado, an 18-year-old man killed during an encounter with Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies, said Friday that she had concluded the inquest without hearing testimony from the deputy who fired the fatal shots or the sheriff’s detectives investigating the case, all of whom invoked their 5th Amendment rights and refused to answer questions. The inquest, a rare proceeding that hadn’t been held in the county in nearly 30 years, was intended to present an “independent assessment” of the findings of Guardado’s death and the evidence used to arrive at them, the county’s chief medical examiner-coroner, Dr. Jonathan Lucas, said when it was announced. But what the hearing officer, retired Court of Appeals Judge Candace Cooper, presented as her findings Friday was remarkably bereft of new information. Cooper determined that Guardado died June 18, that he died in a driveway off Redondo Beach Boulevard in Gardena, that the medical cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds and that the manner of death was “by the hands of another person other than by accident.” All of…
The U.S. Postal Service said Friday that it plans to temporarily remove 14 mail collection boxes in the Los Angeles area as it prepares for the potential of civil unrest ahead of Joe Biden’s inauguration next week. The mailboxes being removed include four in Los Angeles’ 90012 ZIP code, seven in Van Nuys’ 91401 ZIP code and three in Huntington Beach’s 92648 ZIP code, the Postal Service said in a statement. The agency said the move is part of “security preparations for the potential upcoming civil events.” It did not say why those specific ZIP codes were targeted for removal. However, the L.A. boxes are downtown, where last week police declared an unlawful assembly after pro-Trump demonstrators became violent outside City Hall. Police are investigating a possible hate crime against a Black woman during that event. Huntington Beach also saw several right-wing protests last year taking aim at coronavirus restrictions, while the Van Nuys mailboxes being removed are near the Van Nuys Courthouse. The mailboxes that are being removed include: 250 E. 1st St., Los Angeles 252 E. 1st St., Los Angeles 330 E. 2nd…

SAN BERNARDINO (CBSLA) – Deputies were led straight to a man believed to have committed grand theft after stealing cell phone tower batteries, unknowingly equipped with G.P.S. tracking technology. Thursday, a suspect cut two padlocks to access a Verizon cell tower site and battery storage steel cabinet on State 330 Highway in San Bernardino, deputies with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department said. Deputies said Kenneth McFarlane, 32, of San Bernardino, allegedly stole four deep-cycle batteries, used to power the cell tower. Thanks to G.P.S. trackers in the batteries, deputies were able to follow the signal to McFarlane’s house. They said they found him alone in his garage with all four stolen batteries. McFarlane is on felony probation. McFarlane was arrested for grand theft and possession of stolen property and booked into jail. The cell tower batteries were recovered and returned to the victims, deputies added.
