The article i read today is about the state expanding three prisons and puting more inmates in the prisons that are already full they are going to add three prisons to hold an additional 2,800 inmates adding to the nations largest state prison system the construction projects would be about nearly 8 billion the correction secretary wants to seek aproval within weeks to build cellblocks for about 900 inmates each at high security they also want to convert a juvenile lockup in central california near paso into a prison for about 1,000 older men.
In today's paper I have read that a teenager was killed in an off-road vehicle crash. A teenager died yesterday after and off-road vehicle crash on the Barona Indian reservation southeast of Ramona. CPR was performed on a a 16 year old boy after the crash had occurred off wildcat canyon and Featherstone canyon roads about 7:15 p.m. the crash involved a qaudrunner type of sport vehicle. No one else was injured. In other news I had read that police are asking for the publics help to find a assault suspect. Police are asking to find a man responsible for a violent robbery in shelltown that left a women bleeding and terrorized. The incident occurred at about 10:45 p.m. march 19. it began when the robber and the women were on a bus in Shelltown. The robber struck up a conversation with the women. During the talk he claimed he worked at a surf shop over in Pacific Beach. He then began describing the apartment complex where the women lived. feeling very uncomfortable the women got off the bus on highland avenue and eta street. The man then had went after her. The robber then announced to her that he had a gun and demanded money. When the women told her he had no money the robber had then threatened to shoot her and then he had took something from underneath his shirt and then started to beat her. The man had then grabbed her hair and started bashing her face into the pavement. He had also punched her several times. He took the women's house keys and left her bleeding on the sidewalk. The robber was described as Latino.
In today’s paper, I read about all the extra funds going into border protection. COMPARED to our current southbound inspections, this new plan will call for the scanning and scaling of vehicles suspected of contain illegal contraband. The effort to secure the border will RANGE somewhere between $350-$400 million. A deployment of 100 Border Patrol agents will be implemented borderwide to inspect vehicles, and to screen rail cars crossing into Mexico. The border upgrades funded through President Barack Obama’s stimulus package, will include $269 million only for ports of entry. In addition canine teams will be deployed to be able to sniff out drugs, weapons, and money. Also, the scanning of car trunks will likely prove to be a more efficient and quicker method of checking them by hand. In another story, three men who were accused of torturing a 13 year-old boy pleaded not guilty on the 17-incictment. DATA received from the boy has been crucial in being able to convict the three men. The young boy vividly described how he had been chained to a fireplace, where he was also forced to sleep, at one of the suspects homes. He also said that he was regularly beaten with a baseball bat and was once cut with and knife and strangled with a belt until he lost consciousness. If convicted the three men face life in prison without parole. In another trial case, Jason Duane Cooper is being reviewed in his sanity case. Cooper, who lived in Fallbrook, has been convicted of two counts of first degree murder, including torture. The man is believed to have stabbed his mother-in-law and sister-in-law over 70 times combined. In another story, the four officers involved in the fatal shooting of Jeromiah Paul Davis have been identified as well trained seniors of the El Cajon police force. Davis, an admitted methamphetamine user, had been arrested in the past for DUI, vandalism and drug use, police said. The shooting has been backed up by the fact that the man had charged the four officers with a knife raised over his head.
Today I read about a marijuana case, prosecutors say suspect made millions in case that culminated with cash being tossed on the freeway. The cash tossing chase down San Diego freeways March 19 as only the most visible part of two year investigation by federal drug agents into what a prosecutor described as a major marijuana distribution ring. Attorney John R. Kraemer said suspected ring leader, Paul Loaiza, 24, made millions of dollars over the past decade. He said Loaiza owned a $135,000 boat and three cars, including a BMW and a Mercedes-Benz. Loaiza faces charges including conspiracy to distribute drugs and they want to determine if he should be released on bail. The judge decide that Loaiza poses a danger to the community and a risk that he might flee, so he will remain in jail. Undercover agents had offered to sell Loaiza 500 pounds of marijuana and he had shown an agent a bag with $225,000 in bundled cash. The chase began shortly afterward. During the chase, wads of cash were flung from the truck. The Drug Enforcement Administration wants it all back because it is evidence. Loaiza’s lawyer, Eugene Iredale, said that the government’s insistence on recovering the money is misplaced. He said “ the government is very upset apparently about this distribution of money to the people, in a real sense this was an attempt to stimulate the economy which should be praised and not condemned.
Today in the Union Tribune I read about The G-20 summit. President Barak Obama today said that America has excepted its roll in this world wide economic crisis. President Obama said that the world should not look to America to a “voracious consumer market.” At the end of the day the summit has been divided into three central ideas. The United States, Britain, and Japan will be pushing for an immediate solution for this problem. Germany and France are pressing for the opposite solution. China and Russia are currently riding the fence on the issue. The G-20 summit has also made some progress in letting the American president talk to the Russian president. The two presidents are expressing new hopes of progress between the two nations. The two presidents would like to forge a new treaty to reduce arms. In other news North Korea warns Japan that if it shoots down its missile it will use force against Japan. North Korea says it will go to war with Japan if the missile is shot down.
According to the San Diego Union Tribune I read the throwing money out the window of their car are said to have made million. The part the citizens didn’t see was the two years the DEA had set up on men suspected of distributing marijuana. U.S. attorney said over the past decade the alleged ringleader had made millions. His possessions include a big-ass boat, three cars including Benz and Beamers. Undercover agents had offered to sell Loaiza 500 pounds of marijuana. He showed the agents a package containing $225,000 in bundled cash. During the pursuit he flung bundles of cash out the cars window. Commuters stopped their vehicles and got off to pick up cash. Most of the money has been returned but the drug enforcement agents need all of it back because it is vital to the incarceration of this man.
