An 18-year-old high school student and his 14-year-old sister were arrested Wednesday at Ramona High School in Riverside, authorities announced.  According to the Riverside Police Department, the high school’s assigned resource officer was assisting staff with “some student unrest near the end of the lunch break,” at around 1 p.m., in which a fight had broken out between a couple of kids.

Bane had 33 points and 10 rebounds, two-time All-Star Ja Morant added 31 points and 10 boards, and the Grizzlies staved off elimination Wednesday night, beating the Lakers 116-99 to force their first-round Western Conference series back to Los Angeles.“I said it out there, and I’ll say it again,” Bane said. “We are going to be back for a Game 7 in front of the best fans in the NBA.”Morant missed Memphis’ last Game 6 a year ago in the Western semifinals, a series-ending loss in Golden State. Asked what it will take for the Grizzlies to return for another game, Morant had a short answer. “Me being a leader and, you know, being ready for this pedestal everybody got me on,...

New signage, possibly barriers, coming to northern GW Parkway after traffic pattern change

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:07:39 GMT

This week marked the first week that morning and afternoon rush hour commuters were faced with a new temporary traffic pattern on the George Washington Parkway, and the new configuration has led to some confusion among drivers.That’s because those driving into Maryland must enter the right center lane, three miles before their exit, while motorists in the center lane are only routed on the Capital Beltway to go further into Virginia.WTOP Traffic Reporter Dave Dildine who has been watching the impact of the traffic pattern change said it has led to drivers learning the hard way that they got into the wrong lane.“What we were watching is a lot of erratic driving over the flex posts of the last minute and switching lanes abruptly,” Dildine said.Dildine said thankfully it hasn’t led to any big crashes, as drivers acclimate to the changes.The temporary three-lane configuration on the northbound side is in place, so construction crews can completely rehabilitate the southbound lanes, whic...

Report: 85% of tickets issued for passing stopped school buses in Montgomery Co. were issued to school bus drivers

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:07:39 GMT

In a report following an examination of the use of school-issued cards for purchases, Montgomery County’s Inspector General Megan Davey Limarzi found that 1,622 traffic citations were issued to school employees who were operating school vehicles.And of those issued citations, 1,062 were given to school transportation employees. According to the report, the 1,622 citations included fines totaling $155,174.Limarzi said it was logical that school transportation employees would have more citations than other employees. “Of course, the buses are on the road all day, every day,” she said.But in the report, Limarzi said what was alarming was that 85% of the citations issued for passing stopped school buses with their stop-arms extended were issued to other school bus drivers — 330 of the 386 stop-arm camera violations were by bus drivers.The data covers a period from July 1, 2015, to January of 2023.Limarzi noted in her report that the use of the purchase cards, or P-cards, to ...

Pareja vivió bajo identidades robadas de bebés muertos durante décadas, indican fiscales

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 17:07:39 GMT

Una mujer acusada con su esposo de vivir en Hawái con las identidades robadas de bebés muertos permanecerá tras las rejas en espera de su juicio, dictaminó el miércoles un juez federal. Según los fiscales, Walter Glenn Primrose y Gwynn Darle Morrison son los nombres reales de la pareja que ha estado viviendo de manera fraudulenta durante décadas bajo las identidades robadas de Bobby Edward Fort y Julie Lyn Montague. Los fiscales dicen que Primrose pasó más de 20 años en la Guardia Costera como Bobby Fort, donde obtuvo una autorización de seguridad de nivel secreto. Después de jubilarse en 2016, usó la autorización secreta para un trabajo como contratista de defensa de EEUU, dijeron los fiscales. No hay indicios en los documentos judiciales de por qué la pareja en 1987 asumió las identidades de los niños fallecidos, que habrían sido más de una década menores que ellos.

Seattle’s Ray needs elbow surgery, will miss rest of season

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Seattle Mariners left-hander Robbie Ray will have surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his pitching elbow and will miss the rest of the season.Seattle manager Scott Servais made the announcement before the Mariners lost to Philadelphia 6-5 on Wednesday night.“Tough news,” Servais said. “Obviously, it’s really hard for Robbie. He’s a really good competitor and we miss not only what he does every fifth day when he takes the ball, but certainly being a really good teammate and having a guy around that we can lean on.”Ray, in the second season of a $115 million, five-year contract, was injured in his season debut against Cleveland on March 31 when he walked five. He threw 91 pitches over 3 1/3 innings and walked five, one shy of his career high.“In the second inning it felt a little tight, but it didn’t seem out of the ordinary,” Ray said. “It was a cold night, I just thought maybe it took me a while to get loose in that second inning. I didn’t really think that mu...
