  Over the weekend, sheriff deputies busted a major

  drug operation in South Sacramento. A raid on
• 0:25
  Bardu Lane uncovered more than $2 .5 million

  in marijuana, THC wax, mushrooms, cash, and illegal

  guns. The suspected operator, 45 -year -old Joseph
• 0:37
  Marques, a local security company owner, wasn't

  at home and is believed to be in Mexico. Three

  adults on scene were arrested on drug -related

  Elsewhere in the city, Sacramento police responded
• 0:54
  to an assault called around 3 p .m. at 19th and
• 0:57
  U Streets on Saturday, where one person suffered
• 1:00
  non -life -threatening injuries. Bike officers
• 1:03
  arrived quickly, and with help from Public Safety
• 1:06
  Camera Network, they tracked down the suspect,
• 1:09
  who initially ran from the scene. He was detained
• 1:12
  and arrested on related charges. According to

  the Sacramento Police Department, officers responded

  time later, around 1 .45 a .m. Sunday, officers

  stopped a vehicle on northbound I -5 near West

  El Camino. During the traffic stop, officers
• 1:46
  spotted a loaded firearm inside the car. The
• 1:50
  driver was arrested on DUI and firearms -related
• 1:53
  charges. In City Watch, the Colonial Heights
• 1:58
  Library is postponing its reopening. A key utility
• 2:02
  part is still not installed, so the building
• 2:05
  can't hold temperature yet. They'll reopen in
• 2:08
  two phases, basic services first. Early 2026,
• 2:15
  the renovated meeting and study rooms will open.
• 2:18
  When doors open, expect a lighter book collection
• 2:21
  and some ongoing construction noise as crews
• 2:24
  finish up the shelves and other renovations.
• 2:27
  But core library services will be available.
• 2:32
  In weather, we will expect a high of just 46
• 2:36
  today. Unfortunately, no sun with the fog holding
• 2:40
  tight across the valley. And if you're wanting
• 2:45
  to glide across the floor like the pros, remember,
• 2:49
  Monday nights are made for it. The Spotlight
• 2:53
  Ballroom in West Sacramento is hosting its beginning
• 2:56
  ballroom and Latin dance series. It's a fun dropping
• 3:00
  class where you'll learn a new dance every week.
• 3:04
  One month covers ballroom. Classics like waltz,
• 3:07
  tango, and foxtrots. The next month turns up
• 3:10
  the heat with rumba, salsa, and cha -cha. No
• 3:14
  partners needed, just comfy shoes and a willingness
• 3:16
  to spin. And yes, you still have time to make
• 3:20
  it tonight. That class runs from 7 .15 p .m.
• 3:25
  till 8 p .m. at 2534 Industrial Boulevard. And
• 3:30
  it's just 13 bucks. So go ahead over there and
• 3:34
  get your dance. That's all for today's Sacramento
