La tormenta del fin de semana de Pascua está arruinando los planes en Los Ángeles: ¿Cuándo lloverá? ¿Qué se ha cancelado?

Se perfila como un fin de semana de Pascua húmedo en el sur de California. Se espera que la mayor parte del sábado y el domingo haya lluvias constantes, con posibilidades de tormentas eléctricas severas que podrían provocar granizo pequeño, aguaceros intensos, vientos fuertes y tornados breves hasta el lunes, advirtieron los funcionarios meteorológicos. Algunos lugares están cancelando eventos al aire libre antes de la lluvia. La ciudad de Pasadena anunció que su Saturday Egg Bowl y Bunny Brunch no se llevaría a cabo. Santa Anita Park también canceló eventos de carreras el sábado y domingo, así como una búsqueda de huevos. La popular búsqueda de huevos, la más grande en el Valle de San Gabriel, según el parque, se trasladará al 7 de abril en el infield. La ciudad de Huntington Beach canceló su Día de Diversión Familiar, originalmente programado para el sábado. El evento, que incluiría una búsqueda de huevos y fotografías con el Conejo de Pascua, fue reprogramado para el 27 de abril. El espectáculo “Eggscavation” de Garden Grove del sábado también fue cancelado. Pero la ciudad dice que aquellos que pagaron

Southern California stalker, extortionist facing nearly 4 years in prison

A 52-year-old man in Ventura County is facing nearly four years in prison after a jury convicted him of stalking, extorting and distributing intimate nude photos of his ex-girlfriend, authorities announced Thursday.   Jason Anthony Arnold, a resident of Simi Valley, and his former girlfriend broke up in 2019, at which point prosecutors say the 52-year-old launched a terrifying campaign of threats and harassment that lasted from November of that year to March 2020.   After demanding more than $50,000 from the victim, Arnold posted the nude photographs around her workplace and at the apartment complex of her new boyfriend when he failed to receive the money.   “A sex advertisement accompanied the photos, along with the victim’s home address, business address and personal cellphone number,” officials with the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office said in a news release.   Arnold also sent the photographs directly to the victim’s mother, brother and new boyfriend.   Jason Anthony Arnold, 52, of Simi Valley.

Who are the victims in Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse?

Local News By Adam Thompson Updated on: March 28, 2024 / 11:21 PM EDT / CBS Baltimore Remembering the 6 killed in bridge collapse Remembering the 6 killed in Baltimore bridge collapse 02:06 BALTIMORE – Six workers missing after the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed early Tuesday morning are presumed to be dead, the U.S. Coast Guard announced after a day of search and rescue efforts. The search for the six became a recovery effort Tuesday evening. Two bodies were recovered from the site of the collapse in a red pickup truck Wednesday morning. State Police said the search has moved to a salvage effort because officials believe vehicles are encased in the bridge debris, and divers are no longer able to operate around the debris. The span was struck by a cargo ship shortly after it left the Port of Baltimore early Tuesday morning. Officials say that eight people were working on the bridge at the time of the collapse. Two people were rescued from the water shortly after Tuesday’s collapse. One of the rescued workers was unhurt, the other was treated at the

L.A.’s homeless deaths decreased in 2023, but hundreds still died on its streets

New data from the Los Angeles Controller’s Office found a significant decrease in homeless deaths in 2023, but officials say more still needs to be done. According to L.A. Controller Kenneth Mejia, 900 unhoused individuals in Los Angeles city limits died in 2023 — down nearly 23% from the previous year’s total of 1,167. Still, Mejia said the reduction was not something to celebrate. “Any number of unhoused deaths is unacceptable,” Mejia wrote on X, previously Twitter. Of those 900 deaths, three-quarters were considered “accidental,” data showed; 18% were considered natural, 4% were homicides, 2% were suicides and the remaining 1% were undetermined. The highest amount of deaths took place during the beginning of the year from January to March — a time in which multiple “atmospheric rivers” brought severe flooding and heavy rainfall to the region. It was not explicitly stated if that was a contributing factor to the high number of deaths. Also highlighted by Mejia, the amount of homeless homicides, 40, accounted for 12% of the city’s homicide total in 2023. For comparison, the unhoused population makes up roughly 1% of the

Former O.C. education official who embezzled $16M bought jewelry, handbags, tequila

The former senior director of fiscal services at a school district in Orange County has pleaded guilty to embezzling nearly $16 million over several years from the schools he was hired to serve, federal authorities announced Thursday.   Jorge Armando Contreras, a 53-year-old resident of Yorba Linda, was hired by the Magnolia School District, which serves students in Anaheim and Stanton, in 2006 to manage the district’s financial operations, according to a Department of Justice, Central District of California, news release.   During his tenure in that position, prosecutors say Contreras wrote checks in small dollar amounts to “M S D,” with the letters spaced out.   Violent attempted hit-and-run crash leaves 2 dead in Southern California After receiving proper signatures from authorized personnel, he would then insert fictitious names, increase the amount of the checks and deposit them into his personal bank account using ATMs.   The 53-year-old would provide falsified bank statements and records to the schools to conceal his fraud, authorities said.   In total, Contreras admitted to stealing $15,920,042 from the district, where more than 80% of the preschool through sixth-grade

San Bernardino County school bus driver arrested for child sex abuse material

A San Bernardino County man who worked as a school bus driver was arrested and charged with possessing thousands of child sexual abuse materials. The suspect was identified as Donal James Seaver, 49, of Hesperia, by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.  Seaver worked as a school bus driver for a private company and was responsible for a route that transported 10 elementary school students with special needs. On March 7, authorities executed a search warrant at Seaver’s home. During the investigation,  a Samsung tablet was discovered which contained over 10,000 images and 13 videos involving child sex abuse material, the DA’s office said. “The tablet’s historical device data show that it was frequently “wiped” – or factory reset – which deleted all data on the device, and had been reset most recently on February 27,” officials said. He was arrested and charged in state court before a federal criminal case was brought against him. He made his first court appearance on Thursday in the U.S. District Court in Riverside.  Teens stole thousands of dollars worth of beauty products in Orange County If convicted on all charges

Hernández: Shohei Ohtani shows no hint of scandal distracting him in his Dodgers home debut

Scandal? What scandal? Shohei Ohtani might as well have been talking about a television show he watched the night before or his commute to Dodger Stadium in the morning. He was calm, even welcoming, when I approached him on Thursday before the Dodgers’ 7-1 home-opening victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Ohtani nodded when I mentioned the unanswered questions that remained after he publicly accused former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara three days earlier of stealing money from him to settle gambling debts. “I said all I could say at this point,” Ohtani said in Japanese. Did he know how Mizuhara gained access to his bank account or how millions of dollars in wire transfers went unnoticed? “It’s under investigation,” Ohtani said, “so I can’t say anything.” Ohtani said he knew who was investigating the alleged theft — “Of course,” he said — but declined to identify the entity. He maintained a casual tone of voice. He never broke eye contact. He didn’t look or sound nervous. Politely passing on a chance to help the public make sense of a story that still doesn’t add up, Ohtani

Carlo Jiménez, narrador de los Clippers, valora los sacrificios y el legado de su abuelo

Carlo Jiménez está en la recta final de su primera temporada como la nueva voz de los Clippers en la radio 570 AM. Es una voz joven, fresca, pero que también conlleva un rico legado que le ha dejado su familia. Jiménez, de 22 años, se graduó en 2023 de la Universidad del Sur de California, donde recibió el premio Jim Nantz, que lo reconoce como el relator deportivo universitario más destacado del país. Jiménez sustityó a Noah Eagle, que se trasladó a NBC Sports a tiempo completo este verano. En lo que va de la temporada en el micrófono, Jiménez ha tenido varios momentos surrealistas para él.

Jurors award $11.5 million to former LAPD K9 handler who claimed discrimination over Samoan heritage

A jury this week awarded $11.5 million to a former Los Angeles police K-9 handler who sued the city alleging that his supervisors retaliated and discriminated against him in part because of his Samoan ancestry. The officer, Mark Sauvao — pronounced “su-VOW” — alleged he was unfairly punished after he reported some of his colleagues had called him names such as “cannibal” and “barefoot coconut tree-climber.” One supervisor also reportedly referred to him as being Tongan; Sauvao took the comment as an affront given the bitter early history of war and enslavement between Samoa and Tonga. Sauvao, who is still with the department, also alleged that officers spread false rumors that he tried extorting fellow K-9 handlers by refusing to train them unless they gave him their overtime hours. The city can still challenge the size of the jury award. From 2005 to 2017, Sauvao was assigned to the department’s elite bomb detection K-9 unit. The 30-year LAPD veteran said his troubles began several years after his promotion to dog trainer, which came with extra pay and benefits. After learning of the rumors about him
