Published Saturday, July 13, 2013 in the Daily News, Red Bluff, Calif. 2 killed at SF shopping center SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Two women were killed and a man was wounded on Friday before a suspect covered in blood was arrested at a shopping center in a crowded San Francisco neighborhood that is home to police headquarters and several tech companies, authorities said. Investigators were trying to determine if the shooting was connected to a botched robbery. Responding officers encountered the suspect outside the San Francisco Giftcenter & Jewelrymart in the trendy South of Market area. At first they were not sure if the man, who had blood on his clothes, was a shooting victim or a suspect, police Chief Greg Suhr said. The man, whose name was not released, opened fire at officers while retreating into a restaurant, Suhr said. The man kept shooting until he apparently ran out of ammunition and surrendered, Suhr said. Officers did not return fire because the sidewalks were crowded with shoppers and residents. The suspect was treated at a hospital for unknown injuries. Upon arrival officers found Dianjelo Carvajales walking into the backyard of a residence on Hasvold Drive. Carvajales fled from officers when they attempted to contact him. He ran through the backyard of the residence and began jumping over fences into several different yards attempting to flee.

POT Continued from page 1A Eric A. Businger 9A house in Anderson, they discovered a complex indoor marijuana manufacturing operation that included about 2,700 mature marijuana plants and 1,300 marijuana clones, the release said. Agents also seized about 40 kilograms of processed marijuana from the warehouse. During the execution of the search warrant at the Lanes' residence in Anderson, agents found about 130 pounds of processed marijuana, numerous firearms and $51,860.87 in cash. During the execution of the warrant at the dispensary in Redding, agents found and seized nearly 200 marijuana plants, processed marijuana, concentrated cannabis, edible marijuana and $4,673.00 in cash. Agents obtained information in May that the Lanes were continuing to grow marijuana at the warehouse in Anderson. Once again, federal search warrants were obtained and executed at the warehouse, the Lanes' residence and the California Patients Collective marijuana dispensary in Red- ding. During the execution of the warrant at the warehouse, law enforcement agents once again found a complex indoor marijuana grow in full operation. Inside the warehouse, agents found 2,329 mature marijuana plants and an additional 1,724 clones which had not developed a root structure. John Lane, who was found at the warehouse at the time of the search, was arrested. The Lanes were charged June 13 by criminal complaint in the Eastern District of California with conspiracy to manufacture at least 1,000 marijuana plants. Both made their initial appearance in federal court on June 14. Both defendants were scheduled to be arraigned Friday on these charges in federal court in Sacramento. Both defendants face maximum statutory penalties of up to life in prison and statutory mandatory minimum sentences of 10 years in prison based on the quantity of drugs charged. Any sentences, however, would be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory sentencing factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. Opponents want Calif. court to stop gay weddings SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Opponents of same-sex marriage demanded Friday that the California Supreme Court immediately halt the practice that recently resumed in the nation's largest state after a nine-year legal battle. The group that sponsored voter-approved Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriages in 2008, launched a new, two-pronged legal attack in what one expert described as a last-ditch argument with little chance of succeeding. In its petition, ProtectMarriage argued that state officials who began issuing marriage licenses to gay couples had incorrectly interpreted a June 24 U.S. Supreme Court ruling. The high court ruled that ProtectMarriage had no ''standing'' to challenge a previous ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that struck down Proposition 8. On Friday, ProtectMarriage argued in its petition that Proposition 8 remains California law because the U.S. Supreme Court didn't rule directly on the constitutionality of same-sex marriages in what is widely called the ''Perry'' case. ''The Ninth Circuit's decision in Perry has been vacated,'' the petition stated, ''hence there is no appellate decision holding that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.'' Therefore, the petition concluded, the Proposition 8 ban on same-sex marriages is still in force. The petition also argued that the original lawsuit filed in San Francisco named only the county clerks of Los Angeles and Alameda counties. It said the ruling doesn't reach the 56 other county clerks, who must continue to abide by the marriage ban passed by Proposition 8. The petition argues that county clerks are independent state officials and the state registrar — under orders from Gov. Jerry Brown and the California Attorney General Kamala CalTrans contractor sentenced SACRAMENTO (AP) — A printing contractor was sentenced to nine years in prison for defrauding the California Department of Transportation of nearly $1.9 million, part of which he spent on Star Wars memorabilia that included a life-size Yoda, state prosecutors announced Friday. Eric Hodgson, 43, of Elk Grove pleaded guilty Thursday in Sacramento County Court to seven of 22 counts of grand theft. Under a plea deal, he will forfeit two homes, two cars, retirement savings and his $10,000 Star Wars collection as part of his restitution. Along with the 3-foot-tall Yoda statue, the memorabilia includes two light sabers and a model of the Millennium Falcon. According to the state attorney general's office, CalTrans hired his company, Phenix Print & Image, to advertise new construction contracts to potential bidders but discovered Hodgson used fake invoices for print advertisements that were never published in local newspapers as promised. The staff at Red Bluff Simple Cremations would like to thank all of the families who trust us with their loved ones needs. Red Bluff Simple Cremations & Burial Service 527-1732 722 Oak Street, Red Bluff, FD Lic. 1931 Harris — had no authority to direct them on June 26 to begin issuing same-sex marriage licenses. A spokeswoman for the attorney general didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. ''The Legislature has not imbued the state registrar with supervisory authority or control over county clerks issuing marriage licenses,'' the petition stated. Ted Olson, one of several high-profile attorneys who represented same-sex couples in the courts, called the petition ''utterly baseless.'' Olson said any county clerk refusing to follow the state's orders to issue samesex marriage licenses faced contempt of court charges and federal civil rights lawsuits. ''Proponents' latest effort to stop loving couples from marrying in California is a desperate and frivolous act,'' Olson said. University of California, Davis law professor Vikram Amar predicted the state Supreme Court would reject the petition and keep same-sex marriages intact. Amar said the petition's main arguments appear to fall only under the jurisdiction of federal judges. Since the U.S. Supreme Court has already banned ProtectMarriage and its allies from defending Proposition 8 in federal court, it appears they have almost no legal recourse, he said. ''My guess is that the California Supreme Court will not be eager to wade into this because so much of this turns on federal questions,'' Amar said. A ruling is not expected until at least Aug. 1, the last day the California Supreme Court said it would accept written arguments on the matter. The state Supreme Court in 2008 ruled 4-3 that same-sex marriages were legal, which prompted marriage foes to place Proposition 8 on the ballot. Since then, two of the justices who voted for gay marriage have retired.
