In a very matter-of-fact phone call to a Westminister emergency dispatcher yesterday morning, 38-year-old Thuy Le said she had stabbed her two daughters and herself, asking if authorities were coming to her aid, according to the OC Register. They did, finding a bloody room in Le's cousin's home, where the Le family had been spending the night. It was after 6 a.m. when her cousin, Toan Pham and his wife, were awakened by their two children who investigated screams from the living room. Pham went down, finding blood all over and Le holding one of her daughters--he had no idea what just happened just minutes prior. The 5-year-old remains in a medically induced coma, but her 3-year-old sister and Le suffered superficial wounds. No word on why Le attempted to hurt her children before herself, but it may have been due to the stress over a failed attempt to sell her massage therapy business. Police are looking into other possibilities such as marital or mental health problems. more ›

An Orange County Police Sergeant has been on administrative leave since May over a domestic violence call, but now officials are finding that he used law enforcement databases for dates and to look up rival men. Sgt. Bill Arganda of the Westminster Police Department stands accused of searching the database some 4,000 times and has been accused of domestic violence twice. Of those databases searches, there were "a blond Fox news correspondent, a woman from a gym class, a mother from his daughter's kindergarten class, his ex-wife and ex-girlfriends as well as the new men in their lives," according to the Orange County Register, which dives into the Arganda's history. He is an 18-year veteran. more ›

When police looked through the window of one Orange County man's home and found an abundance of Christmas spirit inside, they knew they had a suspect for all the missing decorations from around the neighborhood. "Westminster police said Monday that officers responded to a disturbance call at the house of 48-year-old Vuong Pham, where they found rooms overflowing with wicker reindeer, plastic snowmen and inflatable Santas," reported the Associated Press. "For weeks people in Pham's neighborhood had reported a steady disappearance of lights, figures and faux trees from their front yards." It took three truckloads to empty the home. more ›
