When Cars Heat Up, Pets Pay the Price

Animal Control Officers Clark and Duplan responded to The Ridge Recreation Center after witnesses reported a dog locked inside a silver van. Video showed the dog had been left unattended for nearly four hours while outside temperatures were in the 80s.

The windows were closed, the doors were locked and there was no visible airflow. The dog was panting heavily, barking and showing signs of heat distress while sitting in direct sunlight. Recreation center staff searched nearby facilities and made announcements, but the owner could not be located. The van also had no license plates, preventing officers from quickly identifying the owner.

A JCSO deputy broke the passenger-side window, allowing Animal Control Officers to safely remove the dog through another door. The temperature inside the shaded side of the van was also in the 80s. Animal Control Officer Rivera placed the dog in an air-conditioned vehicle and transported it to Deer Creek Animal Hospital.

Veterinary staff determined the dog was stable, with only a slightly elevated body temperature. The dog was later returned to its owner, who reported that the van’s air conditioning had been left on but apparently stopped working. The owner was issued a summons for animal cruelty.

Vehicle air-conditioning systems can fail. Sunshades and having the windows cracked are never enough. Don’t leave an animal unattended in a vehicle.

What the worthless corporate media continues to get wrong about the Palisades Village surviving the fire...it wasn't just that Caruso had private firefighters, it's that they had WATER to fight with. He had private water tenders. LADWP left the rest of us high and dry. 📷Spencer Pratt

THREE DAYS. That is how long this career criminal was out of prison before he allegedly preyed on a defenseless 90-year-old woman.

Police say 29-year-old Jonathan Rivaldo forced his way into the woman’s apartment at the Dayspring Apartments in Corning, New York, around 2 a.m. on July 13.

Investigators accuse him of brutally assaulting and s*xually violating her during a completely random attack. She passed away from her injuries one week later.

Authorities say Rivaldo had been released from prison only THREE DAYS earlier after serving more than four years for aggravated vehicular assault.

A grand jury has now indicted him on 17 counts, including second-degree mrder, predatory s*xual assault, first-degree rpe and burglary.

He was then accused of possessing a makeshift cutting weapon inside the Steuben County Jail.

This innocent woman should have been safe inside her own home.
Instead, the system put a repeat offender back on the streets, and victim paid for it with her life. How many innocent people have to be sacrificed before protecting the public becomes the priority?

Four years ago, Wake County Deputy Ned Byrd stopped to check a suspicious truck on Battle Bridge Road in Raleigh. Seconds later he was shot four times, three in the back of the head. His K9 partner Sasha was still in the car.

Air Force veteran. 13 years on the job. K9 handler. Good man.

The two illegal aliens who did it finally got locked up last year. One got life without parole.

We still remember. The cowards who put them here first should never be forgotten either.

A Georgia deputy who was paralyzed in an on-duty crash in 1994 died from her injuries Saturday.

Hall County Betty Jean Uriegas, 66, was in her cruiser Aug. 17, 1994, when the unit struck a tree, and she was left a C4 quadriplegic, according to her obituary. Two years after the crash carried the torch for the Atlanta Paralympic Games.

Uriegas joined the sheriff's office in 1985, and she served as jailer and then a dispatcher before becoming a patrol deputy, "her dream job," the obituary stated. Described as "one of the toughest, most resilient deputies to ever wear the badge," Hall also was a member of the dive team and honor guard, according to the sheriff's office, which retired her 434 badge number following the crash.

Oklahoma trooper’s quick thinking avoids a potentially deadly collision. He sees a semi in his rearview mirror bearing down on him and has to move fast. The video is from a crash cushion truck following a line-striping crew.

Oklahoma  Highway  Patrol: A Close Call For Our Trooper

A routine construction shift on the H.E. Bailey Turnpike nearly turned into a tragedy earlier this week.

LT Forrest White #126 was working behind an attenuator truck and a lane-striping vehicle near mile marker 10. The crew was traveling around 10 mph, with LT White in the inside lane, emergency lights activated and warning approaching drivers to slow down and move over.

Then he noticed a semi-truck in his rearview mirror that didn’t appear to be slowing down.

LT White had to make a split-second decision. He moved in front of another semi and ended up in the ditch along the side of the highway. Moments later, the approaching semi struck the attenuator truck at an estimated 50 mph. The attenuator truck is specifically there to absorb an impact, and it did its job.

Thankfully, there were no serious injuries. One person in the attenuator truck was taken to the hospital to be checked out, and the semi driver was uninjured.

The semi driver told LT White he simply didn’t realize how slowly the construction crew was traveling. LT White issued him a citation for failure to reduce speed or move over, a violation carrying a $1,000 penalty.

This could have ended so much differently.

🚨 Please slow down. Move over. Pay attention. 🚨

Our road crews and law enforcement officers are putting their lives on the line every day to keep our highways safe. Give them the space and time they need to do their jobs and make it home safely.
