South Los Angeles resident Shonte Dudley could not get a hold of her mother, Mable Bush, using the 92-year-old’s usual phone for several months. Bush, who lives in South L.A. near the Inglewood border, has kept the same number with AT&T for nearly 50 years. But sometime in September 2024, her landline stopped working. Dudley, 52, called the company, which told her someone had stolen the copper wire from the landline cables. Service was recently restored, but Bush’s family spent months worrying as both the landline — which is hooked to the woman’s life alert service — and, at times, home cameras that they used to monitor movement inside the home were down. For eight months, Dudley spoke with her mother through a caregiver’s cellphone. She said this was not the first time services had been down. “Its been on again, off again,” Dudley said. “If the phone and cameras are down, we have no way to communicate with Mommy. We have had this problem before, but it was never this long.” Los Angeles Times Chinese Angeleno Pleads Guilty to ID Theft Scheme The last of six Chinese nationals living in Los Angeles who pleaded guilty to participating in a scheme that involved the theft of hundreds of identities to defraud retailers out of at least $1.2 million is set to be sentenced Monday. Hyun Woo “Scott” Jung, 30, of Ontario pleaded guilty in February to federal counts of conspiracy to commit access device fraud and possession with intent to unlawfully use five or more false identification documents, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

MyNewsLA Thieves use distraction trick to rob Southern California man A Southern California man is working to track down the suspects who stole thousands of dollars from him in a distraction theft scheme. On March 19, Irvin Nelson had finished shopping at an Albertsons market on Saticoy Street in Reseda and was paying for his groceries at a checkout stand. He noticed two people behind him standing a bit too close for comfort as he entered the PIN for his debit card payment. “There were two people behind me, a man and a woman, and they were getting really close to me,” he recalled. As he was putting money back into his wallet, that’s when the woman, who Nelson described as a blond female with a heavy accent, bumped into him, causing his cash to fall on the floor. “She’s down there trying to pick it up for me, and I said, ‘Get away, that’s my money,” he said. The thieves then followed Nelson outside to the parking lot. They caught up with him and told him he had dropped a $20 bill. “They said, ‘This is your money,’ so I reached into my pocket and pulled my wallet out,” Nelson said. “I had my wallet right here. She put her hand over it and then she handed me the $20 bill. I think that’s when she slipped my debit card out.” KTLA 5 Man charged with intentionally striking, killing deputy with vehicle after son killed in OIS A man who struck and killed a county deputy with his car Friday is the father of a man who was fataly shot by a Cincinnati police officer a day earlier as officers were responding to a call about a stolen car, police said. Authorities said the crash appeared to be intentional. The driver of the car, 38-year-old Rodney Hinton Jr., was charged with aggravated murder in the deputy’s death, police said. The deputy was identified on May 4 as Larry Henderson, who retired from the department a few months ago but was continuing to work off-duty assignments. Before his retirement, Henderson served on the department’s bomb squad and dive team. Hinton appeared in court Saturday, with a wall of deputies standing at the back of the room. A prosecutor said evidence and witnesses will show that Hinton drove directly at Henderson in an attempt to kill him. A judge ordered that Hinton be held until another hearing on Tuesday. An attorney representing Hilton said in court that he has no prior felonies and understands it’s a serious charge, WLWT-TV reported. Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine said in a statement that he was “sickened by what appears to be an intentional act of violence.” Associated Press Video: Man swings 8 lb. metal clamp at N.Y. trooper during custody enforcement before fatal OIS Newly released body camera footage shows the officer involved shooting of a man who swung a metal clamp at a trooper, CNY Central reported. The March 21 shooting occurred during a welfare check at a home where Oswego County Sheriff’s deputies and New York State Police responded to serve an order of protection. Initial reports from the Oswego County Sheriff’s Office indicated the suspect was experiencing a “psychotic episode.” The encounter quickly escalated after officers made contact with the suspect in a cluttered garage, where he was holding a child, videos released on May 2 show. Bodycam footage from an Oswego County deputy begins with officers trying to speak with the man before a physical struggle begins. Around 1 minute and 16 seconds into the video, the bodycam is dislodged and lands pointed upward as the confrontation continues. Gunshots are heard about halfway through the clip. The man is heard asking if he can stand up after being shot but is told to remain still so officers can assist him. Bodycam from a New York State trooper shows the man swinging an 8-pound steel C-clamp at her around the 1-minute, 22-second mark, shortly before shots are fired. The Sheriff’s Office said the deputy had deployed a TASER prior to using his firearm, but it was ineffective. PoliceOne Public Safety News Hepatitis A infections triple in Los Angeles County Los Angeles County had three times more Hepatitis A infections in 2024 compared to the previous year, prompting public health officials to declare a community-wide outbreak. There were 165 confirmed cases of hepatitis A in LA County in 2024, the LA County Department of Public Health confirmed, adding there’s also been elevated virus levels detected in wastewater. Hepatitis A is a liver infection with the symptoms ranging from fever, fatigue, nausea and jaundice. The highly contagious virus can be spread from objects, food and drinks contaminated by small amounts of stool from an infected person. While unhoused people are at higher risk for hepatitis A because of their limited access to handwashing and toilets, over 15% of the confirmed infections in 2024 were experienced by those without housing risk factors. Public health officials encouraged vaccination and good hygiene to prevent the virus infection such as washing hands with soap and water although the risks to the general public is low.
