- Sound the klaxon! Two inmates at the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic escaped early this morning. Deputies think the pair -Jose Aldana & Winder Barrios- planned the escape and “slipped out of the facility around 1:05 am Wednesday.” The pair were being held for armed robbery. The North County facility is the maximum security part of Pitchess. 80 Deputies in patrol cars and helicopters are on the hunt KTLA, KHTS
- Dave Bossert has posted a “What to do in the event of an Inmate Escape from Pitchess.” WRB
- No leads and no suspects in violent Newhall shooting. Cops say the Sunday night shooting that injured two men does not appear to be gang related. I thought this was a drive-by, why are they now saying the victims were shot at “point blank” range? SIGNAL
- All three incumbents were sworn in at last night’s council meeting. And what was supposed to be an uneventful meeting turned strange and sad as a woman told the Council how she found her son dead of a heroin overdose on her driveway in Santa Clarita. I HEART asks the logical question: Does SCV have a heroin problem? SIGNAL, KHTS, I HEART SCV

Hrm i’m being a little nitpicky but David isn’t saying what to do as much as reposting what the sheriff have said to do.
Normally i don’t care when people copy and paste important information but i get a little miffed when they don’t even bother to take the time to format it correctly. His list is a bit messed up.

The topic of heroin as a prevelant drug in the SCV was a topic of discussion at Action counseling last night. Each and every drug you have heard of, and some you have not are available for your children in this valley. Do not be naive, I was.
Hey Jeff. The Newhall shooting incident must not have been very environmentally friendly since there were no “leeds”. ;-0
No “leeds”: Referencing the fact that matresses with prices that can’t be beat weren’t a motive?
Sound the Klaxon? The “Ghetto Birds” did at 6 this morning! No need for them (TV copters) to hover around so long at such low altitude when they have lenses that can see for miles what is going on. Gain some altitude and stay off the top of residential areas! Guess I’m cranky from the rude wake up.
They went off at 5 this morning as well.
I am 100% OK with a “rude wake up” from law enforcement doing their job, beats a “rude wake up” of one of the escapees wandering into my kitchen. In addition to the benefit of searching the copters over head let me know there is something I should be alerted to so I can drive the kids to school rather than have them walk the couple blocks, check my windows etc.
Keep flying ghetto birds!
I said TV Copters!!!!!
Wow that is a lot of exclamation marks. I saw zero TV copters this morning, only police copters. Maybe you live in a more interesting part of Castaic
6:30 and it sounded like Smokey chasing the Bandit up Soledad.
Look in Downtown Newhall.
Wow, so controversial Cash. What a maverick.

This is one of the most incredible and beautiful shows I have ever seen!
Ambassador Sarukhan’s travel advisory to the USA appeares to have inadventently exclude immigrants who illegally enter this country. Yup, just forgot to mention THAT one.
“Lo siento, Americanos…. my bad”
mi malo!
Who has tougher immigration laws mexico or the US?
Mexico. That’s what makes American more awesomer.
O.T.
I have a 50′s Western Flyer that I want to get restored, any recommendations.
Thanks
So how do Mexican authorities treat Americans who are in Mexico illegally?
Interesting Q. spineflower. I have to wonder why an American would illegally enter into Mexico in the first place (absent the “running from the law” scenerio. I do know for certain that if you are coming into Mexico from the Guatemala end of the world – not a pretty picture for those “indocumentados” who are caught. Mexico insists (rightfully so, I might add) on aggressively enforcing it’s immigration laws but harshly criticizes the USA for attempting to do the same.
