Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

  • Remember, tonight is first night of the big Homeless Count and volunteers are needed! Sign up now!

The man, Maurice Cordell Fletcher, 34, of Lake Forest, starting swinging at officers when waking up and was then arrested for arrested on failing to register as a sex offender, suspicion of assault on an officer, resisting arrest and initially providing officers with a false name.
