  May 14th, 2026. Let's get to it. Sacramento police

  traffic and subject stops across the city. In

  North Sacramento, near 4th Street and El Camino

  Avenue, officers conducted a traffic stop just

  after 2 .40 a .m. when the passenger fled on

  foot. Officers pursued and detained the suspect,
• 0:36
  who was found to have two outstanding warrants
• 0:39
  and was arrested. Later in the day, near 3200
• 0:42
  block of Rio Linda Boulevard, officers conducted
• 0:44
  another traffic stop locating an illegally possessed

  The two suspects were arrested on related charges.

  And in South Sacramento, near Valley High and

  Golden Field Way, officers contacted two individuals

  who exited a vehicle with an open container of

  alcohol in public. During a search of the vehicle,
• 1:07
  officers recovered an illegally possessed loaded

  Water Agency are renewing a decades -long regional

  long -term water reliability with protection

  of the Lower American Rivers ecosystem as the

  helped improve groundwater stability, drought
• 1:49
  preparedness, and habitat preservation through
• 1:52
  the projects like Vineyard Surface Water Treatment
• 1:55
  Plant and the Freeport Regional Water Project.
• 1:59
  Supervisor Rosario Rodriguez called the agreement
• 2:02
  a commitment to protecting both TAP and the river
