Woman arrested after allegedly stabbing partner with kitchen knife during domestic dispute

Police in Upland arrested a woman who allegedly stabbed her partner during a domestic dispute Wednesday morning. According to the Upland Police Department, officers were dispatched around 1 a.m. to a home near the intersection of Alpine Street and Palm Avenue. Neighbors had reported an intoxicated woman armed with a kitchen knife was yelling and had just stabbed a man in an apartment complex. Police arrived on scene and found the woman in front of the building. When she spotted officers, she took off on foot while “barefoot and in a dress,” police said. Body cam footage shared by the Police Department shows the woman running between apartment buildings and into an alley before ultimately surrendering to armed officers. The knife was located nearby.

Loved ones disturbed after mice spotted inside Southern California nursing home

Family members are disturbed after they say mice have been repeatedly spotted inside a San Fernando Valley nursing home. Cell phone video captured a mouse running inside a bedroom and darting behind furniture at the Sherman Village Healthcare Center in Valley Village. On Sunday night, family members claimed they spotted at least four mice inside the facility. Leticia Sahagun said she’s horrified that her mother and other elderly patients are living under such conditions. She said she managed to trap at least four mice inside a bathroom that night. She also found mouse droppings behind furniture. “It was dinner time and I think the smell of the food just ignited mice coming out of the cupboards and behind furniture, in and out of the bathroom,” Sahagun said. “I’m just concerned about my mother and her roommate. They are fall risks so their beds are down on the floor. Just the thought of having mice run on them throughout the night when I’m not there, it just makes me so sad and it breaks my heart.” Elaine Barringer, the daughter of another patient, was also there

US Territory Puerto Rico And Cannabis

By Amy Hansen, The Fresh Toast It is a popular tourist destination as part of the US, but what about consuming cannabis there? Over 5 million people travel to Puerto Rico each year, the island territory of the US is popular with tourists. Beaches, outdoor adventures, good food and sun are always a popular draw and it is considered a safe and easy destinations. Millions of American’s have visited, but as the US embraces marijuana, what about US territory Puerto Rico and cannabis? Puerto Rico became a territory of the United States as a result of the Spanish-American War in 1898. In 1898, the United States went to war with Spain and invaded their colony Puerto Rico on July 25, 1898. It has been under Spanish rule for over 400 years.War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris with Spain ceding Puerto Rico to the United States, along with other territories like Guam . After the war, Puerto Rico came under direct U.S. military rule for about two years. In 1900, the U.S. Congress passed the Foraker Act, which established a civilian government for Puerto Rico and officially designated it as an “unincorporated territory” belonging to the United States.  It has some benefits of the US, but not a formal voice in the Congress.

House has ‘numerous’ photos from women who say they were paid a total of more than $10,000 by Gaetz for sex, lawyer says

By Tierney Sneed, CNN (CNN) — Two women who claim they were paid for sex by former Rep. Matt Gaetz provided House ethics investigators with “numerous” photos related to time they spent with the Florida Republican, a lawyer for the women said Tuesday, including from an alleged 2019 trip to New York. The women said they were paid by the former congressman for sex on that trip, during which they also joined Gaetz at a Fox News studio while he filmed a TV appearance, their attorney Joel Leppard told CNN’s Erin Burnett on “OutFront.” Gaetz allegedly covered the women’s travel costs as well, Leppard said. The women additionally provided the House Ethics Committee with selfies Gaetz is said to have sent them, according to their lawyer. They also testified that they sent nude photos to Gaetz, sometimes at his request, Leppard said. Gaetz was recently tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to serve as his attorney general and resigned from Congress last week, effectively ending the ethics probe into him. The panel had investigated allegations of misconduct against Gaetz, including “sexual misconduct and illicit drug use,”

Latest results in close East Bay elections raise familiar question: Are recounts coming?

By some breathtakingly narrow margins, candidates in local Bay Area elections began to emerge victorious Wednesday after new results drew several tight races closer to a final outcome. The latest returns indicated that Nikki Fortunato Bas is likely to prevail in a race for an Alameda County Supervisor seat, Adena Ishii was poised to become Berkeley’s next mayor, and Raymond Liu was slightly ahead in a Fremont City Council race. Fifteen days after election night, the decisive advantages in the county and Berkeley races are likely to hold even after election officials try to cure up to 4,836 additional ballots cast with improper signatures. The razor-thin race in Fremont could still flip in either direction. In the South Bay, two packed races for city council seats in Palo Alto and Cupertino already are headed to an automatic recount Monday because their margins are tight enough to trigger an automatic second round of vote-tallying under Santa Clara County law. Those recounts are set to go despite new results Wednesday showing Keith Reckdahl ahead by just 13 votes — 0.02% — over Doria Summa in Palo Alto

San Mateo County Sheriff’s captains call for embattled Sheriff Corpus to step down

All five San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office captains have formally asked for the resignation of embattled Sheriff Christina Corpus, according to an internal department email obtained by the Bay Area News Group. The email, addressed to Corpus, also calls for the resignation of Victor Aenlle, her former chief of staff, whom she recently promoted to assistant sheriff, as well as Undersheriff Dan Perea. “We hope that his matter is addressed with the seriousness it warrants, and we hope you will take the necessary actions to move forward,” Capt. Frank Del Porto wrote in the email. The email’s authenticity was confirmed by two law enforcement sources on the condition of anonymity out of fears of retribution. The email, dated Monday, Nov. 18, does not explain the vote of no confidence by the captains. However, it was sent the same day state and congressional lawmakers called for Corpus to step down over an explosive audit alleging widespread misconduct by her and department leadership. The 400-plus-page report found Corpus, the county’s first Latina sheriff, repeatedly retaliated against officers and employees, used racist and homophobic slurs, and had an

EEUU: Aumenta la competencia entre las tiendas para ofrecer alimentos por Acción de Gracias

NUEVA YORK . — Con el Día de Acción de Gracias a menos de dos semanas, Walmart, Target, Aldi y otros supermercados están compitiendo por un lugar en las mesas festivas con ofertas de cenas de pavo y otras promociones para tentar a los estadounidenses que aún no se recuperan de la reciente inflación en los precios de los alimentos. Walmart, el mayor minorista de alimentos de la nación, agrupó por primera vez los ingredientes para una cena tradicional de pavo en un paquete hace tres años. Este año, la oferta de 29 artículos, que incluye un pavo congelado e ingredientes para raciones laterales, cuesta menos de 55 dólares y está destinada a servir a ocho personas. Eso calcula a menos de 7 dólares por persona. La versión de Target para cuatro personas cuesta 20 dólares, 5 dólares menos que la de 2023, e incluye un pavo congelado, mezcla para relleno y judías verdes enlatadas y salsa de arándanos en gelatina enlatada. Aldi ofrece un pavo congelado Butterball con mezcla para salsa, así como ingredientes para pastel de calabaza e ingredientes para guarniciones como cazuela

Behind Comcast’s big TV deal: a bleak picture for once mighty cable industry

When Comcast swallowed NBC and Universal Studios 14 years ago, the sibling cable channels USA Network, Bravo and CNBC were considered diamonds in the rough. USA Network had gained traction with its “Blue Skies” programming strategy: sunny and upbeat TV programs infused with a buoyant energy and natural light. The cable channels were NBCUniversal’s equivalent of blue skies, routinely delivering three-quarters of the company’s profit. In 2012, cable networks threw off a robust $3.3 billion in cash flow. Times have changed. Comcast this week announced its plans to jettison all but one cable channel into a separate, stand-alone publicly traded company that will take shape over the next year. “This is a reminder that the cable television network business is yesterday’s news,” analyst Craig Moffett said Wednesday in an interview. “If it feels like Comcast is shedding itself of an albatross — that’s because it is.” For now, Comcast’s cable channels remain a viable business by generating $7 billion in annual revenue. But you have only to look at the properties the Philadelphia cable giant is keeping to see how the top brass has picked

Woman Settles Lawsuit Alleging 1978 Sexual Abuse by Santa Monica High Teacher

A woman has reached a tentative settlement in her lawsuit filed against the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District in which she alleged she was twice sexually assaulted by her rock poetry teacher while she was a 16-year-old student at Santa Monica High School in 1978. Identified only as Jane Doe D.S. and now in her 60s, Doe maintained that teacher Steven Garwood was never trained in having appropriate conduct with students. On Monday, Doe’s attorney filed court papers with Santa Monica Superior Court Judge Elaine W. Mandel notifying her of a “conditional” settlement in the case along with the expectation a request for dismissal will be filed by Jan. 17. No terms were divulged. In their previous court papers, district lawyers argued that the plaintiff provided no evidence, including through her own testimony, that the alleged abuse she suffered resulted from the failure of any district staff member to supervise her or Garwood. The defense attorneys also denied the district was negligent in hiring the teacher. “In plaintiff’s deposition, she testified in plain terms that the abuse, which took place on two occasions off campus

2 Men, Including Victim’s Grandson, Charged in Fatal South Pasadena Stabbing

Two men — including a grandson of the victim — are scheduled to be arraigned next month on murder and burglary charges for allegedly killing a 75-year-old woman at her South Pasadena home. Josh Edward Atkins, 44, and Bikramjot Singh Padda, 28, are each charged with murder and first-degree burglary with a person present stemming from the June 4 killing of Susan Miller inside her home in the 800 block of Brent Avenue, according to the District Attorney’s Office. Prosecutors said Padda is Miller’s grandson. Sheriff’s officials said deputies responded to Miller’s home around 8:45 p.m. that night, and the victim was found dead from stab wounds to the upper body. Reports from the scene at the time suggested Miller’s grandchildren found her body while checking on her welfare. Prosecutors alleged that Atkins and Padda burglarized the home at about 3:30 a.m. that morning and fatally stabbed Miller. The criminal complaint alleges that Atkins personally used a knife in the commission of the crime. The complaint also alleges that another person, other than the alleged accomplice, was present during the burglary. According to jail records

Bryan Kohberger can face death penalty if convicted, judge rules

By Jordan Freiman Updated on: November 20, 2024 / 8:39 PM EST / CBS News Bryan Kohberger, the man accused of killing four University of Idaho students in 2022 , can face the death penalty, a judge has ruled. Kohberger’s defense team had sought to remove the death penalty as a possible punishment should he be convicted, but Ada County Judge Steven Hippler denied their motions in his ruling dated Tuesday. The prosecution has said it intends to seek the death penalty if Kohberger is convicted. Kohberger’s attorneys’ arguments included claims that forcing inmates to wait for years on death row and the methods available for prisoners to be executed in Idaho both constitute cruel and unusual punishment. They also argued Idaho’s death penalty laws violate an international treaty banning the torture of prisoners. Kohberger  is accused of the Nov. 13, 2022, stabbing deaths of Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves. All four were students at the University of Idaho and were killed in a home off campus. Kohberger was arrested on Dec. 30, 2022, in Pennsylvania and was extradited back to

Home prices in Los Angeles are about to reach a milestone

Barring a cataclysmic event or major economic turmoil, the median home price in Los Angeles County will likely cross the $1,000,000 mark in 2025. Data released this week by the California Association of Realtors shows a median, detached single-family home in L.A. County costs $956,210, seven percent more than a year ago. Statewide, the median home price is $888,740, around six percent more than a year ago. This comes despite mortgage rates continuing to hover around generational highs, which has kept many would-be buyers on the sidelines. However, economists at the Realtor’s Association, which represents real estate professionals who rely on sales, say prices in California generally only go in one direction: up. California home sales were expected to soar in 2024. Here’s what really happened “The best time to buy was a long time ago. The second-best time to buy is still today,” insists CAR’s chief economist Jordan Levine. Indeed, the increase in home values in California, especially Southern California, has been significant over the past decade. In October 2014, an average home in L.A. County cost $477,600, meaning home values have essentially doubled.

O.C. sheriff’s employee lived lavished lifestyle by stealing from her grandma. She now faces prison

For years, an Orange County Sheriff’s Department employee was living large, spending lavishly on Santa Ana dinners, West Hollywood bars and a nightclub in Las Vegas. But it wasn’t the department’s payroll footing the bill — it was her unsuspecting grandmother, authorities said. Roxana C. Laub, 33, of Santa Ana, recently pleaded guilty to two felony charges for forging checks and fraudulently using credit cards in her grandmother’s name, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release. She faces up to 30 years in federal prison for the bank fraud count and up to 15 years in federal prison for the identity theft count, according to the DOJ. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 9, 2025. Laub, whose employment with the department has included a stint as a uniformed correctional officer at the Orange County jail, is accused of stealing her grandmother’s identity and savings for more than five years, prosecutors said. From 2015 to 2017, she forged her grandmother’s signature on more than 20 checks in order to fraudulently deposit some $45,000 from her grandmother’s bank account into her own, prosecutors said.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are reportedly expats in the U.K. — because Trump?

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi flippin’ love Montecito. They do. They love it so much they have reportedly owned and/or flipped at least 21 properties there. Nevertheless, they are ditching Santa Barbara County. The ex-Montecitans are now expats after the reelection of a certain ex-president, the Wrap reports. DeGeneres and De Rossi are now at home in the U.K. The pair are voracious home buyers. They have bought and sold a number of properties around L.A., yet the Santa Barbara area was a particular favorite. Site Line, which keeps an eye on upscale real estate in those parts, said in February that DeGeneres and De Rossi had spent at least $350 million since 2006 on Santa Barbara-area manses. They couldn’t be budged from Montecito even by extreme flooding. DeGeneres posted video of the surging waters behind her home in January 2023, which arrived on the five-year anniversary of deadly mudslides in the area. But apparently President-elect Donald Trump retaking the White House reins is a different level of disaster for the 66-year-old comedian and her actor wife, 51. Hence the packing up and moving
