    Delta Passenger Arrested After Opening Plane Door, Activating Emergency Slide, And Sliding Down 

    A man on a Delta Air Lines flight has been taken into police custody after triggering the plane’s emergency slide prior to takeoff, CBS News reported.

    At around 10 A.M. on Saturday, the passenger allegedly opened one of the plane’s emergency exit doors, causing the emergency slide to deploy as the plane was pushing away from the gate at the Los Angeles International Airport. After going down the slide, the man reportedly jumped onto the back of a baggage cart, where he was then held by the airport crew members until authorities arrived.

    “Due to the circumstances, the FBI has been notified,” said Los Angeles Airport Police Captain Karla Rodriguez. “The aircraft was returned to a gate, and passengers are in the process of being deplaned in order to be transported in another aircraft so that they can continue with their flight plans.”

    Though the man has not yet been publicly identified, officials say that he is not currently facing charges, and has been transported to a local hospital for a mental evaluation.

  • California Thieves Steal Half a Million Dollars Worth of Marijuana

    California Thieves Steal Half a Million Dollars Worth of Marijuana

    Police are searching for a group of thieves who were captured on surveillance footage robbing half a million dollars worth of marijuana from a California cannabis shop, the NY Post reported. 

    The robbery occurred at 3Bros marijuana warehouse on Fair Avenue in Santa Cruz at around 2:30 a.m. on Thursday. The video shows four cars stationed outside the business with a group of masked men loading the vehicles with hundreds of pounds of weed. 

    An unnamed witness said the burglars were armed and moved so swiftly that they finished and sped off in less than 15 minutes, each vehicle going in different directions.

    “They were masked up, clubbed up, and I had a really hard time even making the description of the people because of the weapons I saw,”

    they told KSBW. 

    Police are also having a hard time identifying the men due to the use of stolen vehicles and license plates, according to the outlet. Police believe the thieves targeted another cannabis store on Sunday in the Harvey West Park area in Santa Cruz.

    Police Deputy Chief Jon Bush said these attacks against cannabis businesses are spreading across the Bay Area.

    “Unfortunately, this isn’t something that’s just occurring in Santa Cruz,”

    he told KSBW.

    “It’s across all the Bay Area and the region, especially with the recent increase in marijuana dispensaries being allowed to sell marijuana.”

    Official suspect that thieves are robbing these businesses because they

    “incorrectly believe the stores have a lot of cash on hand,”

    reports note.

    Woman Arrested After Crashing Into Multiple Cars In Parking Lot And Aiming For Pedestrians


    A woman in Mission Viejo, California has been arrested after intentionally crashing her SUV into multiple other vehicles and attempting to run over people who tried to stop her, Action News 5 reported.

    Thursday afternoon, a woman in a black SUV began deliberately ramming into other vehicles in the parking lot of an office building. When pedestrians attempted to intervene, the attacker began to aim for them as well. According to the NBC affiliate, eleven cars have been damaged.

    “She was doing reverse, forward, reverse, forward, you know, so she kind of knew what she was doing,” witness Christina Patane said in an interview.

    Many who worked within the building next to the parking lot heard the commotion, and came outside. While some began recording the driver, others tried to get the woman to stop. When those pedestrians attempted to intervene, the attacker began to aim for them as well.

    “I did not think she was going to hit me, honestly,” one of the victims explained. “I thought by standing there, that was going to deter her. Unfortunately, it had the opposite effect, and she came charging at me and that’s when I jumped.”

    Eventually, the driver fled the scene at high speeds, and California Highway Patrol was able to stop and make the arrest of Aria Martin. The 33-year-old is now facing charges of driving under the influence of drugs, felony assault with a deadly weapon, felony vandalism, and reckless driving. Martin is currently being held by Orange County on a $25,000 bail.
