President Donald Trump's childhood home in Queens is now available on Airbnb, and you can stay in the 1940 Tudor-style house for just $725 a night. 

The five-bedroom, 4 1/2-bathroom, brick-and-stucco home in Jamaica Estates sleeps 20 and has a full kitchen, internet and cable TV, according to the listing. There's also plenty of meeting space and a giant cutout of Trump in the living room to keep people company as they watch "Fox News late into the night." 

If you plan a longer stay, the owner is offering a 20 percent weekly discount and a 40 percent monthly discount. Airbnbers would have access to all of the rooms except for the bedroom where the owner lives, according to the listing. 

The president's father, developer Fred Trump, built the home in the upper-middle-class enclave about 10 miles east of midtown Manhattan. The house features arched doorways, a fireplace and a sun room and the F train is just a short walk away.

Trump lived there until he was about 4, when his family moved to another home his father had built nearby. The Airbnb listing says the home hasn't changed much since the Trumps lived there, and notes it has no affiliation whatsoever with the White House, the president, Trump or the Trump organization. 

"The kitchen is original and the opulent furnishings represent the style and affluence in which the Trumps would have lived," the listing says. "This is a unique and special opportunity to stay in the home of a sitting president."

The house was offered to bidders last fall, but that auction date was canceled after publicity sparked a burst of last-minute interest and requests for more time.

City records show an investor, Michael Davis, ultimately bought the home for nearly $1.4 million in December.

The house went to auction again in January, with bids closing mid-month.

Auction house Paramount Realty USA said in March the house had sold for $2.14 million. The sale price represented a more than 50 percent profit for the seller. 

Megachurch pastor Robert Jeffress, a prominent supporter of President Donald Trump, said in a statement that “God has given Trump the authority to take out Kim Jong-Un.”

The statement Tuesday night from the popular evangelical preacher who heads First Baptist Dallas comes on the heels of Trump’s comments about continued nuclear threats from North Korea.

“North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” the president said Tuesday. “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen.”

Jeffress has long been a supporter of the president, and has been previously outspoken on political issues. 

Jeffress was one of a few religious leaders who gave sermons at an official service on the morning of Trump’s inauguration.

More recently, Jeffress was among a group of pastors who laid hands on the president in the Oval Office. He also supported Trump's tweets last month announcing plans to ban transgender people from serving in the military. 

Jeffress is also known for previously claiming former President Barack Obama had paved the way for the antichrist.

He also called Mormonism a cult while backing Rick Perry for president in the 2012 Republican primary, though he later endorsed Mitt Romney. 

Here is Jeffress’ full statement to The Brody Files of the Christian Broadcasting Network:

“When it comes to how we should deal with evil doers, the Bible, in the book of Romans, is very clear: God has endowed rulers full power to use whatever means necessary — including war — to stop evil. In the case of North Korea, God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong-Un. I’m heartened to see that our president — contrary to what we’ve seen with past administrations who have taken, at best, a sheepish stance toward dictators and oppressors — will not tolerate any threat against the American people. When President Trump draws a red line, he will not erase it, move it, or back away from it. Thank God for a President who is serious about protecting our country.”

A U.S. Navy veteran has been charged with violently abusing his neighbors' dogs over a period of six months, Oceanside Police Department Val Saadat said. 

David Herbert, an honorably discharged disabled veteran, was arrested Wednesday after a months-long investigation led police to his home. After officials had served a search and arrest warrant at his home, he was taken into custody without incident. Police continue to search his home. 

Herbert is facing five charges of animal abuse, four charges of vandalism, two charges of petty theft and one charge each of residential burglary and using a deadly weapon in the commission of a felony, Saadat said. 

Police have linked Herbert to six reported criminal cases, where two separate residents of the same home were victimized. 

The first case of abuse happened in April when Oceanside police first began investigating a series of criminal events happening on the 3900 block of Carino Way. 

The residents at the home had to Huskies at their home. The residents moved when their dogs were assaulted inside the security of their home, police said. 

Soon, new residents moved into the home with their two dogs. 

On May 30, police said, the neighbors reported both their dogs missing from their home. 

A neighbor found one of the dogs and the second, a Golden Retriever named Lala, never came home, police said. 

Police learned Herbert took Lala from the house and believe the dog was subject to a violent assault that left the dog with severe injuries. Authorities determined the dog had been assaulted based on evidentiary evidence recovered at the suspect's home. 

Police never located the dog, and her whereabouts are unknown. 

The other abused dogs are recovering, Oceanside police said, but still have emotional trauma from the abuse. 

Herbert served six years in the U.S. Navy. He does not own or have animals at his home. 

If convicted of the felony charges, he could face up to 16 years in prison.

Firefighters quickly quelled a quarter-acre brush fire crawling up a Tierrasanta hill towards homes. 

The fire broke out around 3:53 p.m. Wednesday in a canyon off Clairemont Mesa Boulevard and Santo Road, San Diego Fire-Rescue Department (SDFD) officials said. 

The quarter acre fire burned at a slow rate of speed in medium fuel, firefighters said. The flames were heading up toward a community of homes, but crews quickly stopped the forward rate of spread. 

Firefighters requested the Metro Arson Strike Team (MAST) to investigate.

The perception among many San Diego residents is the city’s aging fleet of trash collection trucks is breaking or damaging their trash bins.

According to a March 2017 Grand Jury report titled "Broken Garbage Cans, City Apathy, Free Cans For A Few – What A Mess," "aging collection trucks, and poorly maintained lift arms" have contributed to the rapid rise of damaged bins. The same report recommended the damaged trash bins be "replaced and delivered at no charge."

Click here to read the full report. 

The City of San Diego and Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s office have now formally responded to that report. In its response, the city maintains, the trash bins are not breaking because of the collection trucks, they’re breaking because the bins only have a 10-year useful life span.

According to the Mayor’s response to the report, the average age of in-service trash bins is 13-years old and "of the approximately 343,600 refuse containers in use, 233,700, or 68-percent, are beyond their industry standard 10-year useful life."

That means the number of trash bins that need to be replaced will continue to increase as it has the last three years.

According to the Grand Jury report, in the fiscal year 2014, 6,483 black refuse bins were replaced at the homeowner’s expense. That number increased to 7,387 in 2015. Last year, 11,925 trash bins were replaced.

The replacement trash bins used to be free, but in 2008, citing declining tax revenue, the city amended the municipal code.

The city pays $53.22 for each new bin. It charges residents $70 for a replacement bin. For an additional $25, the bins can be delivered.

The city insists it doesn't profit from the sales - the money goes to cover overhead costs, it told NBC 7 Investigates. Damaged trash bins less than 10-years old, are pro-rated. (Green and blue bins used for landscape and recycling can be replaced free of charge).

According to the city, replacing the bins for free would be a costly proposition.

"If the city were to replace them all, that’s about a $16 million dollar impact to the general fund, so no, the city is currently not considering taking on that responsibility," said Mario Sierra, Director of the City Environmental Services Department.

Here’s how you can tell if your black trash bin is beyond its 10-year useful life span.

• If the bin has a number that starts with a "03" "09", "06", the 10-year warranty has expired. If the bin is damaged, it is your responsibility to purchase a replacement.

• If the number starts with "T92" or "T64”, your can's warranty could have expired.

To find out the exact age of your trash bin, you can call the city Department of Environmental Services at 858-694-7000, or email the department at trash@sandiego.gov.

Recently, Rachel Hunter of Normal Heights went to the city’s Collection Services yard to pick up a new trash bin. She assumed the bin would be replaced for free.

"It’s upsetting, that’s 70 bucks that I can’t afford, but need my trash taken. And so I’m kind of helpless and stuck in the system," said Hunter.

The city Environmental Services Department director concedes, the city needs to do a better job informing residents of their responsibilities, which is explained on the city’s web site.

"We need to do a better job of communicated and providing this information and educating the public," said Sierra.

Two key issues affecting San Diego were discussed at the California Coastal Commission meeting Wednesday.

The first is a request for approval of a permit that would allow Sea World to build a 150 ft. tall roller coaster. The second is a permit approval for Coronado to build new public bathrooms near the beach.

The roller coaster at Sea World would be called the 'Electric Eel' and would become the amusement park's largest attraction.

Sea World would need 1.2 acres of land in the park to construct the ride and a station for lockers. The proposal also calls for the construction of an educational building where live electric eels will be housed in aquatic tanks.

According to the Coastal Commission, "The project raises concerns relating to the protection of views, public access, and biological productivity."

Because of its height, the roller coaster would be highly visible from many parts of Mission Bay Park. However, proposals of the project indicate the structure would not block any ocean views.

In the proposal it also states the roller coaster will utilize a sky-like color scheme so that it blends in with natural surroundings.

An initial study of potential traffic impacts in the area found that there would not be a substantial increase in traffic in the area due to the new roller coaster, according to a report by the Coastal Commission. The report goes on to say that the roller coaster is expected to attract a lot more visitors to Sea World each year.

According to an initial report by the Coastal Commission, "Noise associated with construction activities or other operations has the potential to adversely impact marine mammals in the area."

The construction of the roller coaster and accompanying facilities is expected to take 9 months.

Sea World has its own waste water treatment plan that the proposal says will not be affected by the roller coaster. Therefore, the study goes on to say it is not expected the structure would have an impact on the water quality in the area.

The second project up for approval at the California Coastal Commission meeting Wednesday is the possible construction of new public bathrooms in Coronado.

The project would be located west of the Avenida del Sol cul-de-sac, which runs between the Coronado Shores Condominiums and the Hotel del Coronado.

The site currently offers free public parkways and a public walkway to the beach.

The project would build a 235 sq. ft. public restroom facility with 3 stalls, storage space and showers that would take up about 1,000 sq. ft. of the plaza area.

The project would also remove and replace an existing beach access stairway and add a new accessible ramp leading from the sidewalk to the new plaza.

The staff recommendation for the project is a denial.

In a staff report, the Coastal Commission acknowledged public restrooms are important, but added, "this particular project, both as a result of its design and location, would result in a significant obstruction of views, impact shoreline sand supply, and require construction of a shoreline protection device."

The restrooms also call for the construction of a seawall incorporated into the seaward portion of the development. A staff report found that the bathrooms do not have to be on the beach, and so a seawall would be unnecessary to construct.

Those for the project say it would bring bathrooms open to the public to an area of the beach that needs it.

In a staff report, it was requested that an alternative of temporary public restrooms be installed instead.

San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) customers looking to buy certain models of Nissan and BMV electric cars are eligible for a big discount. 

Nissan and BMV are offering SDG&E customers $10,000 off the purchase of a new 2017 Nissan LEAF or any new 2017 BMV i3 plug-in model. 

All San Diegans have to do is show a copy of their SDG&E bill as well as a discount flier. The Nissan flier can be downloaded here, and the BMW flier can be downloaded here.

The discount offers are funded through the automakers, not SDG&E ratepayer funds, the agency said. 

Those discounts are in addition to existing state and federal incentives for people buying electric cars, including the state Clean Vehicle Rebate Project and the EV Climate Credit. 

Additionally, federal incentives can provide $2,500 to $7,500 for electric car purchases, depending on the car bought. 

Those additional incentives can add up to another $10,000. 

Plus, San Diegans can save additional money by signing up for an electric vehicle time-of-use rate. The program lets people pick the cheapest time for their car to charge. 

Search warrant affidavits seeking all financial records about former Poway Unified School District Superintendent John Collins between 2012 and 2016 provide details about the District Attorney's case against him.

Collins is facing five felony charges for allegedly misusing public money and filing a false financial disclosure form.

The former superintendent was fired in July 2016 after the district hired a forensic auditor, who found Collins collected more than $300,000 in unauthorized pay by padding his salary, collecting unauthorized vacation payouts and taking off-the-books time off.

The affidavits, served over the course of 2016 and 2017, ask a judge for permission to review Collins financial and medical records.

In an affidavit asking a judge for permission to review Collins finances, a District Attorney investigator reported Collins used the district credit card on a 2013 trip to Disneyland with his wife that had nothing to do with school district business.

"Dr. Collins repeatedly violated Poway Unified School District cardholder agreement by using the school district credit card to pay for personal expenses not associated in any way with the school district," Investigator Vincent Giaime wrote in the affidavit. Giaime reported to the judge Collins personal expenses totaled approximately $24,000.

NBC 7 Investigates launched a thorough review of Collins credit card expenses in early 2014. The district's then-counsel, Dan Shinoff, wrote that NBC 7 was "crafting a cruel and vicious tale" about Collins expenses, which topped other superintendents in the area. 

The affidavits list the Disneyland trip as an example of a personal expense billed to the school district.

"On Sunday, May 26, 2013, Dr. Collins utilized the school district credit card to pay for lodging at Marriot Anaheim. Tina McDowell, Dr. Collins' Executive Assistant submitted a memo to the finance department reporting that Dr. Collins had used the card by mistake. Dr. Collins' calendar indicates Collins' wife was at Disneyland for a dance competition," one affidavit states.

Collins defense attorney Paul Pfingst said Collins made the one accounting error during a 30-year career with the district and he paid it back before the bill even became due.

The affidavits also accuse Collins of failing to report gifts on his state-mandated form 700's – paperwork meant to track gifts to public officials so the community can monitor the influence those gifts might bring. The economic disclosures are filed under penalty of perjury.

The court records detail how Collins became a paid consultant of the Education Research and Development Institute (ERDI), which paid approximately $1,300 for him to attend conferences and $4,200 as a consultant in 2013. Collins did not report the income on his form 700 or the gifted travel expense, the documents allege.

In another instance noted by investigators, Collins stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Resort for a Build America Mutual conference and served on a panel discussing local government. The organization paid for his airfare, lodging, and meals, but the expenses were not reported on Collins economic disclosures, the warrants state.

Build America Mutual is a municipal bond insurer, according to its website. 

The warrants list calendar appointments for medical trips to doctors and dentists, alleging Collins failed to put in for approximately $18,000 worth of sick time to attend the doctor appointments. 

Collins' attorney Pfingst said his client was a salaried employee and the top administrator of a successful school district, who often stayed late at board meetings or handled district business while traveling or at home.

"The accusations do not take into account the modern workplace where we are all constantly 'plugged-in' and constantly doing our job," Pfingst said. "Also, he's not an hourly employee. He often stayed late at board meetings for which he received no extra compensation. If he could do a better job in three hours than any other administrator could do in 80 hours, that might make a great news story, but it's not criminal."

The documents accuse Collins of collecting unauthorized vacation payouts. 

For example, the affidavit notes a Nov. 19, 2015, withdrawal from Poway Unified School District's revolving cash fund for $17,000.

"Dr. Collins later sends a text message to his wife saying 'On my way to deposit 17,000 at MFCU. I am planning to put $1,000 in your account today and more later for Chrismas shopping. The room at Harrah's is free and we still have $150 in gift certificates at Harrah's," the investigator wrote in the affidavit.

At the time he lost his job, Collins was the highest paid school superintendent in the county, earning $308,900 per year, with total compensation of $457,347 including extra pay, benefits, and retirement. But the affidavits and school district documents included in a forensic audit show Collins was facing personal financial problems so serious, his checking account was sometimes overdrawn, and he had to short sell his house before foreclosure in 2013. 

Two stars linked to Old Globe-born Broadway shows join the theater's upcoming world-premiere musical "Benny & Joon." 

The musical, based on the beloved 1993 offbeat romantic comedy, will open the Globe's 2017-2018 season on Sept. 7. 

Tony Award-nominated Bryce Pinkham will take on the role of Sam. Pinkham recently took center stage in "A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder," a musical first born at The Old Globe. 

Hannah Elless, seen at The Old Globe and on Broadway in Steve Martin and Edie Brickell's "Bright Star," will star as Joon. 

Elless and Pinkham are joined by Andrew Samonsky (“South Pacific,” “Scandalous”), who plays Benny. 

The musical, with a book by Kirsten Guenther ("Breaking Through"), music by Nolan Gasser and lyrics by Mindi Dickstein ("Little Women"), follows auto mechanic Benny (his sister's sole caretaker) and his eclectic sister Joon.

The cast is rounded out by Colin Hanlon (“Falsettos,” “In Transit”) as Mike, Paolo Montalban (“Allegiance” at The Old Globe) as Larry, January LaVoy (“Enron”, “Coraline”) as Ruthie, and Jason SweetTooth Williams (“Disney’s Freaky Friday” at La Jolla Playhouse) as Waldo and Video Store Owner, Natalie Toro (“A Tale of Two Cities,” “Les Misérables”) as Dr. Cruz and Mrs. Smail.

The FBI's investigation of U.S. Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-50th District) has widened, according to a report.

It now involves possible bank fraud, falsified reports and conspiracy.

Hunter has been criticized for improper use of campaign funds but said he repaid the questionable expenses.

A court document released Wednesday shows federal agents searched the office of Hunter's campaign treasurer in Virginia.

They seized computers, external hard drives and computer spreadsheets with financial information.

The search happened in February but was first reported on Twitter, by Seamus Hughes, a researcher at George Washington University.

Hunter's office has not responded to our request for comment on this latest development.

One of Hunter's re-election opponents, Josh Butner, said, "As this investigation drags on, Hunter has proven he is unable to focus on his constituents that need a leader in Washington."

The San Diego Sheriff's Department (SDSO) Bomb Arson Team is investigating a Bonita hoarding house as possible arson, according to Bonita fire officials.

It is the second fire reported at the house in a matter of months, according to fire officials. 

At approximately 7:03 a.m. on Wednesday, the Bonita Fire Department was called to the home in the 2900 block of Sylvia Street. 

The fire damaged the house structure and extended to some of the grass outside, according to the Bonita fire department. Crews put the fire out within 15 minutes. No one was injured. 

The SDSO bomb arson department arrived at the scene first; That does not necessarily mean the fire was the result of arson. 

Officials said they are investigating at the request of the fire department due to the history of calls to the location. 

The previous fire at the location was deemed accidental, according to a statement from fire officials.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation, but Bonita Fire Department stated there was a hoarding situation involved. 

No further information is available. 

Are you ready for the Great American Eclipse?

The Fleet Science Center has planned events leading up to the big day, including a view of the eclipse in the sky above San Diego. San Diegans have several options. 

On Aug. 11, the center will host a special Solar Eclipse Maker Hour in collaboration with the Museum of Photographic Arts. In this workshop, visitors can explore the science of a solar eclipse, and they'll get to safely and creatively photograph it.

The workshop includes DIY cardboard viewers, crafty pinhole projections and a head-mounted camera obscura. It will be held from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. All ages are welcome, but the event is primarily geared for adults.

Ever wondered what it would be like to live on the International Space Station? The Fleet's Be Wise science program for girls will call the space station on Aug. 15 and ask live questions to the astronauts, said Fleet Science Center officials.

Participants will get a chance to meet the retired astronaut Mark Polansky of the Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavour missions, for a live Q&A. He is also the guest for a special Suds and Science session at Wavelength Brewing in Vista.

Once the big day arrives on Monday, Aug. 21, the center will offer San Diegans an opportunity to learn more about the Great American Eclipse and a place to safely view it.

The viewing event begins at 9 a.m. at the Plaza in front of the center. There will also be inexpensive solar eclipse glasses available with special filters that prevent eye damage when viewing the eclipse, said center officials.

It will be visible between 9:07 a.m. until 11:45 a.m. The maximum point of the eclipse is at 10:23 a.m., said center officials.

Resident astronomer, Dr. Lisa Will, can also answer questions about the eclipse, and there will be a workstation where you can make a simple Pinhole Projector to view the eclipse projected on the ground, according to the Fleet Science Center.

Don't miss the first total American solar eclipse in 38 years!

Travis Wood won his debut with the Padres back on July 28. His next two starts however have not been as impressive.

The Reds tagged Wood for a pair of homers Wednesday and promptly put the Padres in a 6-0 hole. The Friars never led and wound up falling 8-3.

Wood was saddled with his first loss since joining San Diego in a trade that sent pitchers Ryan Buchter, Trevor Cahill, and Brandon Maurer to the Kansas City Royals.

The lefty allowed a two-run single to Jose Peraza in the opening frame, then saw Eugenio Suarez and Stuart Turner each hoist two-run homers in the third and fifth innings respectively.

Wood lasted only five innings and threw 107 pitches. He struck out seven but had to deal with a ton of base-runners.

Wood allowed seven hits and also walked four which hurt his chances to keep the game within reach.

It would have been worse if Hunter Renfroe hadn’t made another fantastic defensive play to end the fourth.

With the bases loaded, Renfroe bolted towards the right field line and made a sliding grab to rob Adam Duvall of a bloop base hit.

Manny Margot helped the Padres avoid a shutout by bashing a solo shot in the sixth inning. It’s his 10th long ball of the year.

Four batters later, Wil Myers blasted his 22nd home run of the season when he turned on a 0-1 fastball and rocketed a two-run bomb over the right field wall.

But the Friars would get no closer after falling into that 6-0 hole.

The Reds tacked on a pair in the bottom of the sixth to stretch the lead to 8-3 and that wound up being the final margin.

Carter Capps pitched the sixth inning and was charged with those two runs thanks to four Cincinnati hits.

San Diego can salvage a split of the series with a win in Thursday’s matinee.

First pitch is a 9:35 a.m. on the west coast with rookie Dinelson Lamet scheduled to oppose Cincinnati’s Luis Castillo.

Caltrans is hosting the first of two meetings to help examine possible suicide deterrent systems on the San Diego-Coronado Bridge Wednesday.

The meetings mark the latest development in an effort by multiple agencies to examine possible solutions for the bridge's lack of barriers. In May, the organization started taking an in-depth look at the issue.

The bridge is a postcard backdrop and one of San Diego's most recognizable land marks, however, it is also known for the many suicides committed at the location.

Since the bridge first opened in 1969, over 400 people have died from jumping off the bridge.

This year there have been 11 suicides so far, and 17 last year, according to Rhonda Haiston, founder of the San Diego Collaborative for Suicide Prevention.

"Our mission from the beginning has been to stop the suicides from occurring from the bridge,” said Haiston. “The feasibility study will take 10 months, and they began last month.”

Haiston said she is proud of what has been accomplished with the study so far. She said evidence proves that removing human access is a great deterrent to preventing suicide.

One of the most popular deterrent suggestions among suicide prevention groups is to build a fence, but some are concerned it will negatively impact the view from the bridge.

Another option is to build a barrier, which could help preserve the view, but building and upkeep could be costly.

A third suggestion is to build steel nets, which would not impact the view, but would also be very costly.

The meetings are open to the public and are opportunities for people to give more suggestions, review, comment and learn about the current Feasibility Study, according to Caltrans.

The next meeting will be August 10, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Coronado Public Library.

The meetings will be used in the Caltrans study to see what the best feasibility option would be and to determine if the project moves forward.

There is a 24-hour crisis line available to anyone contemplating suicide (888) 724-7240.

More than $100,000 worth of methamphetamine was found inside the spare tire of a vehicle at a Border Patrol checkpoint, according to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

At approximately 2:45 p.m. Tuesday, Border patrol agents stopped a 31-year-old woman at the Highway 111 immigration checkpoint after a canine alerted officers to the vehicle.

During a secondary inspection, agents found 30 packages containing methamphetamine inside the spare tire in the vehicle.

The drugs, weighing 31.91 pounds, are worth an estimated street value of $111, 685.

The woman, a U.S. citizen, was turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration, along with the vehicle and the drugs. 

According to CBP, smugglers often hide drugs inside spare tires of vehicles.

Chula Vista native Paul Arriola just became a very, very rich man.

The United States men’s national team midfielder is leaving Club Tijuana to join D.C. United of Major League Soccer and it was an expensive move.

According to the Washington Post, the transfer fee is worth more than three million dollars. That makes this transaction the most expensive transfer in the history of the D.C. United franchise.

The Washington-based MLS club will also send allocation money to the Los Angeles Galaxy because that team holds Arriola’s MLS rights dating back to his days with the Galaxy youth academy.

Arriola announced his move Wednesday night with a long message on twitter where he thanked his fans and the Xolos.

Arriola earned a starting gig with the Xolos making 83 career appearances and scoring four goals. The 22-year-old also made four starts recently for the USMNT to help the Americans win the 2017 Gold Cup.

United is undergoing a massive reboot of its roster after a seven-game winless streak.

The team is also under pressure to get back on track in the win column because its new home, Audi Field opens next summer in time for the start of the 2018 season.

Oceanside dog owners, whose animals were tortured, kidnapped and one presumed killed say they are afraid for the safety of their families now as well.

"If he could do that to a dog, what's to say he couldn't do that to me, to one of my kids," Michelle Plaketta said.

Plaketta and her family moved into the home on the 3900 block of Carino Way earlier this year with their two dogs.  

On May 30, they reported both their dogs missing from their home. A neighbor found one of the dogs and the second, a Golden Retriever named Lala, never came home, Oceanside police said.

Her whereabouts are still unknown.

"Lala was a sweetheart...wouldn't hurt anybody, she wouldn't hurt a fly," Plaketta said.

Prior to Plaketta's move to the home on Carino Way, Maria Morales lived there with her family. She told NBC 7, her family's two huskies were mutilated inside the house.

She said it is a memory she and her family won't soon forget. After the assault, the family moved away.

Wednesday, police arrested 46-year-old David Herbert after a months-long investigation.

"It's a bittersweet moment. We still don't know anything about Lala but its justice needs to be served," Plaketta said.

Herbert, an honorably discharged disabled U.S. Navy veteran, has been charged with violently abusing his neighbors' dogs over a period of six months, according to Oceanside police.

In response to Herbert's arrest, Morales' friend told NBC 7, they are relieved but worried for their dogs.

"Happy that we don't have to worry about anyone coming and finding our new residence but still emotional because the animals are still scarred for life," Elsa Gaytan said.

Plaketta had a similar response.

"It’s not going to be today or tomorrow, not a month from now. It's going to take a lot of time," Plaketta said.

Police removed several pieces of electronic equipment and clothes in the initial search of Herbert's house. But investigators said their strongest evidence is DNA matching that of Lala inside his car.

Herbert did not own or have animals at his home, police said.

He's expected to be arraigned Thursday.

One person suffered burns to their hand after a fire at an apartment complex Wednesday night.
