Domestic violence suspect crashes into LAPD car while running away from police

A domestic violence suspect was taken into custody Tuesday after he crashed into a police patrol vehicle. Officers from the Los Angeles Police Department were sent to Bluffside Drive near the 101 Freeway in Studio City at around 5 a.m. after getting a call about a screaming woman. Witnesses said the man was attacking the female victim, the LAPD told NBC4 Investigates. When officers arrived, the suspect tried to run away in his car but instead crashed into the police car and another parked vehicle. The man then got out of the car and tried to run away on foot to no avail under his inebriated condition. The suspect and the female victim were taken to a hospital in separate ambulances for minor injuries. The man was arrested for domestic violence, hit-and-run and suspicions of DUI, the LAPD said.

Driver in California accused of DUI, immediately forgetting crash happened

A San Bernardino County woman was arrested for allegedly driving under the influence of alcohol and rolling her SUV after clipping an unoccupied vehicle parked at the curb late last week. Surveillance cameras captured the Sept. 19 incident, which occurred just after 12 p.m. near the intersection of A Street and 2nd Avenue in Upland. It’s unclear exactly how fast the woman was driving when she ran her SUV into the parked SUV, but footage shows the moment of impact, with the passenger side of her vehicle coming off the ground and completely flipping the SUV over onto its roof. It did not appear, at least in footage posted by the Upland Police Department, that the woman suffered any serious injuries, though authorities said that during questioning, the woman, whose blood alcohol content was .23, nearly three times the legal limit of .08, forgot that she’d even been in an accident. “Aside from spending the day in county lock-up for DUI, she totaled her own SUV, damaged someone else’s car, and will be dealing with court dates, her insurance, DMV hearings, and penalties in excess of $10,000,” a UPD Facebook post stated.

California officials seize 21,000 cannabis plants, arrest 8 in statewide operations

Eight people were arrested and more than 21,000 cannabis plants were destroyed in a statewide crackdown on illegal grow sites, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office announced Tuesday. The operations, led by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s specialized cannabis teams, targeted illicit cultivation hidden in sensitive habitats and watersheds in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Mateo, Santa Cruz and Tehama counties. Officials also seized more than 150 pounds of processed cannabis and confiscated bottles of pesticides banned in the U.S. for health and safety risks. Water flow was restored at sites where it had been illegally diverted to sustain the crops. According to the department, the eradicated plants would have consumed up to 9.5 million gallons of water during their growth cycle. The eight suspects face multiple charges, including unlawful cannabis cultivation, cultivation causing environmental harm, polluting state waters, depositing hazardous substances on another’s property and resisting arrest.

At least 1 person killed at Dallas ICE facility

A shooter with a rifle opened fire from a nearby roof onto a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement location in Dallas on Wednesday, killing at least one person and wounding others before taking his own life, authorities said. The exact motivation of the attack was not immediately known. The FBI said at a morning news conference that ammunition found at the scene contained anti-ICE messaging. The head of the agency, Kash Patel, released a photo on social media that shows a bullet containing the words “ANTI-ICE” written in what appears to be marker. Dallas Police Chief Daniel Comeaux told reporters that officers responded to a report of four people shot, with two dead. Authorities initially said three people, including the shooter, had been shot. Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News that no ICE agents were injured. “We believe he was shooting at law enforcement and detainees from an apartment building,” McLaughlin said. “Detainees were among the victims of the shooting.” The FBI said during the news conference that it was investigating the shooting as “an act of targeted violence.”

Man who represented himself is found guilty of trying to assassinate Trump at Florida golf course

The man who attempted to assassinate Donald Trump at a Florida golf course last year tried to stab himself in the neck with a pen shortly after being found guilty of all counts on Tuesday. Officers quickly swarmed him and dragged him out of the courthouse. The jury of five men and seven women found Ryan Routh guilty on all counts that he was facing after 2 hours of deliberation. After the jurors were on their way out of the courtroom, Routh tried to stab himself in the neck. He grabbed a pen and started trying to stab himself in the neck. Marshals swarmed him and picked him up and dragged him out of the courthouse. His daughter Sara Routh was screaming, “Dad I love you don’t do anything. I’ll get you out. He didn’t hurt anybody.” She continued screaming inside the courtroom as her father was dragged out. She said the case against him was rigged. The daughter went outside the courthouse and was waiting by the guard gate for her father to be driven out and transported to prison. A few minutes after Routh was dragged for the courtroom, he was brought back inside. He was no longer wearing a jacket and tie, and was shackled. There were no signs of blood on his shirt. The judge announced Routh will be sentenced on Dec. 18 at 9:30 a.m. He faces life in prison.

LA's $1B deficit closed, Mayor Bass signs agreement protecting city workers from layoffs

 Mayor Karen Bass signed an agreement Tuesday to avert the planned furlough of municipal employees and all remaining civil service layoffs for fiscal year 2025-26, an outcome resulting from months of negotiations with labor unions. In April, Bass had proposed more than 1,600 layoffs as part of an effort to eliminate a nearly $1 billion budget deficit caused by overspending, skyrocketing liability payouts, lower-than-expected tax revenues, and a weakening economy. Of the 600 layoffs, about 250 Los Angeles Police Department civilian positions were proposed for elimination, however, an agreement with the Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAAPL), which represents officers, saved those jobs. LAAPL agreed to have its members voluntarily take overtime as paid time off in order to reduce LAPD's overtime expenses and eliminate civilian layoffs.

Mayor Bass to Give Final Approval on LA Convention Center Expansion

Mayor Karen Bass is expected Wednesday to give the final approval for the Convention Center Expansion Project with the aim of revitalizing the downtown area and preparing the facility for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Bass is scheduled to hold a news conference at the Convention Center alongside downtown residents and business leaders to mark the signing of the $2.62 billion plan, approved by an 11-2 City Council vote Friday despite concerns of rising costs and potential risks to the city’s finances and services. Council members Katy Yaroslavsky and Nithya Raman voted against the project, and their colleagues Monica Rodriguez and Bob Blumenfield were absent. The expansion will connect the site’s West Hall with the South Hall, adding 190,000 square feet of additional exhibit hall space, and nearly 40,000 square feet of meeting room space, as well as 95,000 square feet for a multi-service room. The City Council also authorized issuing $990 million in bonds to fund the project — with the debt service paid through 2058.
