Man borrows woman's car, sells it on Craigslist AUBURN (AP) — Police say a man bor- rowed a Northern Califor- nia woman's car and he then sold it on Craigslist. A 55-year-old woman told Auburn officers that she loaned her car on Oct. 6 to an acquaintance she identified as Jeff Keller and he didn't return it. Investigators don't believe that's the man's real name. The Sacramento Bee says the woman, whose name is being withheld, filed a stolen vehicle report. Investigators say the man advertised the vehicle on Craigslist, identified himself as the car owner, and sold it. The buyer took the car to the Department of Motor Vehicles on Oct. 13 to register it but was unable to do so because the vehicle had been reported as stolen. Lawmaker says shoplift was a misunderstanding SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A California lawmaker accused of shoplifting leather pants and other clothing from a high-end department store said the incident was a misunderstanding and she didn't intentionally steal the merchandise. Democratic Assemblywoman Mary Hayashi pleaded not guilty Thursday to a charge of felony grand theft. She was arrested Oct. 23 after she was stopped by a Neiman Marcus security guard. Prosecutors said she left the Union Square store with $2,445 worth of items in her shopping bag that weren't paid for. District attorney's spokesman Omid Talai said Neiman Marcus provided prosecutors with video sur- veillance, but he wouldn't say what the footage showed. Hayashi's spokesman, Sam Singer, said she didn't mean to leave the store with the merchandise and is hopeful the charge will be reduced or dropped at her next court date, Nov. 15. ''The assemblywoman apologizes for the misunder- standing and the distraction,'' Singer said Friday. Hayashi, who is married to Alameda County Superi- or Court Judge Dennis Hayashi, has represented Castro Valley since 2006. The first Korean-American elected to the Assembly, Hayashi, 44, can't run for re-election next year because of term limits. She has authored several bills, and in 2010 was behind a law signed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger that broadened campaign reporting requirements for companies that mail fliers in support of political candi- dates. This year, Gov. Jerry Brown signed Hayashi's bill requiring school districts to immediately remove an ath- lete from a school-sponsored athletic activity if he or she is suspected of suffering a concussion or head injury. He also approved her medical association-supported bill to help medical peer-review committees share information. Before her election, Hayashi was appointed to the state Board of Registered Nursing. Much of her cam- paign backing has come from medical interests, includ- ing the California Dental Association and California Medical Association. dle School for 31 years, said he came to Friday's reunion out of curiosity, nostalgia and the chance to see old friends.

Glusman imposed the upper term of three years. The sentence would have been served in a state prison before the realignment that happened this month.

The men were returning to the boat ramp after a day of fishing and were just a quarter-mile from the ramp when they capsized just after 2 p.m., said sheriff's A woman at the residence sus- pected her ex-boyfriend, Bruce Manuel Fleming Jr., 38, who had reportedly tried to confront her at a local trailer park earlier that night, Ferrin said. Witnesses' descriptions of the suspect, who fled in a black 1994 Saturn, matched Fleming. Found on Franzel Road, Fleming was questioned but he denied involvement, Ferrin said. However, another man questioned at the same time admitted that he had waited in Fleming's car while Fleming shot the flare gun at the residence. Officers arrested Fleming on Sgt. Frank Bachmeyer. All of them were wearing life jackets. Arrouzet told deputies that he swam to shore while McBrayer and Cody were pulled from the water by another boater in the area, Bachmeyer said. Cody had been clinging to the boat because his personal flota- tion device had gotten tan- gled on the snag and he was charges of shooting at an inhabited dwelling, assault with a deadly weapon, child endangerment and arson of an inhabited residence. Fleming was booked into the Tehama County Jail and held in lieu of $610,000 bail. Any witnesses who have not been interviewed regarding this crime are asked to call the Red Bluff Police Department at 527- 3131. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailynews.com. being held by the current. Emergency medical per- sonnel treated and released the men on scene, Bach- meyer said. Cody was treat- ed for minor hypothermia. Because of the fast, shal- low and dangerous water along with multiple tree snags, the boat could not be retrieved, he said. "The boat may possibly be removed later if the water drops," Bachmeyer said. The boat is valued at $9,000 and it contained about $300 worth of tackle and supplies, sheriff's logs said. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, extension 114 or awagner@redbluffdailyne ws.com.
