  Good morning. This is the Sacramento Brief, your
• 0:08
  weekday roundup of overnight headlines and what's
• 0:11
  ahead across the city. I'm Carol. It's Friday,
• 0:16
  January 9th, 2026. Let's get you caught up. A
• 0:20
  reminder that Sacramento's Debt Suppression Task
• 0:23
  Force is active and working. Two suspects, a
• 0:27
  man and a woman, both in their 40s, were arrested
• 0:29
  after a liquor theft and confrontation at a South
• 0:32
  Sacramento Costco. Investigators say the pair
• 0:35
  concealed multiple bottles, bypassed checkout,
• 0:38
  then fled after becoming aggressive with employees.
• 0:42
  Deputies stopped the vehicle nearby, recovered
• 0:44
  the stolen merchandise, and both were booked
• 0:47
  into the Sacramento County Man in Jail without
• 0:49
  further incident. And over on the 900 block of
• 0:53
  Eleanor, officers investigating a suspicious
• 0:55
  vehicle made contact with a man who was found
• 0:58
  to have outstanding felony warrant. The suspect's
• 1:01
  search uncovered evidence of drug sales and a
• 1:05
  legally possessed loaded firearm. The suspect
• 1:10
  was taken into custody. And in another situation,
• 1:13
  in the 1700 block of 59th Street over in East
• 1:16
  Sacramento, officers responded to a report of
• 1:19
  a person brandishing a knife during a confrontation.
• 1:22
  The victim was not injured and the suspect was
• 1:26
  located nearby and arrested. In City Watch, heads
• 1:30
  up, Sacramento County health officials... are
• 1:34
  warning about a very active and early flu season.
• 1:38
  Doctors are seeing flu cases rise faster than
• 1:41
  usual, along with COVID, RSV and strep, making
• 1:45
  symptoms harder to tell apart. If you are running
• 1:49
  a fever, dealing with body aches or respiratory
• 1:52
  symptoms, officials say test early and stay home
• 1:57
  if you're sick to slow the spread. In weather,
• 2:01
  we're looking at a cold start out there with
• 2:03
  patchy frost before 9 a .m. Then sunshine takes
• 2:06
  over with a high near 51 with calm winds. Tonight,
• 2:10
  clouds drift in. The frost returns after 2 a
• 2:14
  .m. and the lows dip to around 34. And we can
