  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 Tuesday,
• 0:16
  August 4th, 2026. Let's get you caught up. We
• 0:19
  begin with today's top stories. Sacramento police
• 0:22
  made two arrests in the City South Command. Just
• 0:24
  after midnight on Monday, officers contacted
• 0:27
  occupants of a suspicious vehicle near Florin
• 0:30
  and Loma Verde Way. After determining the driver
• 0:33
  was on probation, officers searched the vehicle
• 0:35
  and reportedly found narcotics. The driver was
• 0:38
  arrested on related charges. Then, just before
• 0:41
  3 a .m., officers stopped a suspect near... Luther
• 0:47
  Drive and Florin Road. During the investigation,
• 0:50
  officers discovered the woman had an outstanding
• 0:53
  felony warrant. She was taken into custody and
• 0:55
  booked on that warrant. And a bit later in the
• 0:58
  day, Sacramento County Sheriff's Department responded
• 1:01
  to an unusual call at Safeway on Elk Grove Florin
• 1:05
  Road after security reported a man on the roof
• 1:08
  of the building. Deputy safely arrested 22 -year
• 1:11
  -old Ruben Duran, who authorities say was on
• 1:14
  felony probation and had an outstanding felony
• 1:17
  warrant for making threats with a weapon. Sheriff's
• 1:20
  Office also thanked Metro Fire for assisting
• 1:23
  with the incident. Now turning to weather. If
• 1:26
  you enjoyed yesterday's sunshine, today brings
• 1:29
  a bit more of it. Expect sunny skies with a high
• 1:31
  near 101 this afternoon, and winds will remain
• 1:35
  light before picking up slightly from the southwest
• 1:38
  later today. Tonight will be clear with a comfortable
• 1:42
  low around 63 degrees. So if you're planning
• 1:46
  to be outside this afternoon, stay hydrated,
• 1:48
  wear sunscreen, and try to save those outdoor
• 1:51
  chores for early morning or... evening hours.
