TONIGHT: After years of @FOXLA investigations & multiple confrontations, sick puppy peddler Gustavo Gonzalez has been sentenced & brought to justice. At least 57 puppies died after he sold them. @spcaLA says it was one of the most egregious cases they’ve investigated. 10pm @FOXLA ImageImageImageImage
A full circle moment. I interviewed Kerry Grover in 2018 after her puppy, Raglan, died. She was crushed. She ended up adopting Auto, one of the puppies rescued from Gonzalez’s car when we stung him at Del Amo Mall in Torrance with SPCALA. We met him at vet. Second chance! @FOXLA ImageImageImageImage
Gonzalez has been jailed since his arrest in June 2019. Sentenced to 87 more days, no time served credit, 1 yr probation, can’t own animals for decade, $200k restitution to 63 families, waives his 4th amendment rights to search & seizure.
Final story tonight at 10pm on @FOXLA
There are other sick puppy peddlers out there, PLEASE look out for these women. I tracked them down & stung them in 2019 but they are back at it again. My email has been blowing up. I’m on the hunt for them again. Alexis Hinojosa & Vanessa Rodriguez @FOXLA foxla.com/news/sick-pupp…

THREAD: I've confirmed D.A. George Gascon has hired public defender Tiffiny Blacknell to his administration as a Grade 4 prosecutor. Blacknell served on Gascon’s policy committee during his campaign. She has called LAPD "barbarians" and says prisons should be abolished. @FOXLA ImageImageImageImage
In December, I reported that Blacknell was involved in an alleged secret “sweetheart” plea deal offer of 7 years to a suspected gang murderer behind the backs of the prosecutor & victim’s family. The deal fell apart after judge found out about it. @FOXLA
foxla.com/news/gascon-ad…
As a Grade 4, Blacknell will be making up to $15,000 per month. According to department policy, the job requires 2 years of experience as a grade 3 prosecutor, which Blacknell does not have. Prosecutors in the office are criticizing this hire as “blatant cronyism”. @FOXLA ImageImage

Law enforcement source tells me that as of right now, there is nothing “salacious” about the Tiger Woods crash. No charges pending. He went off an embankment and rolled and it is currently just an investigation for a bad traffic accident as of *right now*. @FOXLA
NEW: I’m told Tiger Woods was conscious and speaking to deputies when they arrived on scene. I’m also told Sheriff Alex Villanueva will be holding a press conference at the Lomita Sheriff’s station at 3pm. @FOXLA
L.A. County Sheriff Alex Villanueva about to take the podium. @FOXLA Image

BREAKING: Judge James Chalfant has issued a preliminary injunction against Los Angeles D.A. George Gascon that will restrict him from refusing to prosecute CA's three strikes law and will restrict him from dismissing special circumstance allegations without legal grounds. @FOXLA
Judge Chalfant: "The District Attorney's disregard of the Three Strikes law "plead and prove" requirement is unlawful, as is requiring deputy DA's to seek dismissal of pending sentencing enhancements without a lawful basis."
This is a major win for @LACountyADDA vs Gascon @FOXLA
Here is Judge Chalfant's official ruling/conclusion. I've reached out to George Gascon's office for comment. Will update if/when I hear back. @FOXLA

Listening in on L.A. D.A. union lawsuit vs George Gascon hearing.
Judge just asked Gascon attorneys if Gascon is abandoning the three strikes law. They say no, he's not.
Judge says so he won't enforce it, but you won't call that abandoning it?
Attorney calls it "semantics".
Gascon's attorneys are currently arguing that the D.A. union doesn't have standing to sue Gascon.
Judge just asked Gascon attorneys if they believe CA's three strikes law is unconstitutional.
"No", they reply.
But here's what Gascon said in his directive.
"It is the position of this office that Penal Code section
1170.12(d)(2) and Penal Code 667(f)(1) are unconstitutional."

NEW: Outdoor dining has reopened in L.A. County as of today, but now the Health Department is banning restaurants from having their TVs turned on for customers. @FOXLA
Directly from the new health order: “Televisions or any other screens that are used to broadcast programming must be removed from the area or turned off. This provision is effective until further notice.”
It’s obvious the Health Department wants to stop people from watching the Super Bowl outdoors at sports bars/restaurants, so they are now going to force people to watch it indoors with private home gatherings by taking the outdoor option away. Absolutely brilliant 🙄

BREAKING: This mudflow that happened in front of us in Silverado Canyon is beginning to swallow up the front of a home. We’re told the residents evacuated. Sheriffs Department now on scene. @FOXLA
Multiple mudslides. Another one just happened in front of us again. @FOXLA
We are currently trapped, but perfectly fine. Roads are impassible from multiple mudflows. Bulldozers on scene trying to clear it. Residents out in streets concerned about stability of other hills near their homes. @FOXLA
