One person died in a rollover crash outside a Lakeside home Sunday night, according to officials.

Around 7:45 p.m., a car crashed into a truck parked in the driveway of a house in the 12000 block of Rockcrest Road.

According to the California Highway Patrol, someone called 911 about a person who had left the home in a car after drinking. Minutes later, they received a call about the crash.

The driver was partially ejected and died on impact, CHP said. The victim was not wearing a seat belt.

CHP is investigating what caused the deadly crash.

A family in San Diego's North County was awakened Monday by a crash that left a gaping hole in their house.

Just before 1:30 a.m., someone crashed into the home at the corner of Monroe and Adams streets in Oceanside.

Oceanside police say the driver of that vehicle somehow crashed through a fence, struck the home and then ran off after abandoning the vehicle.

A young coyote was rescued from a rising tide by animal rescuers on Singer Island, Fla.

The animal had been seen on a dock earlier in the day but jumped into the water and got stuck along the seawall.

David Hitzig of Busch Wildlife Rescue and officers from Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control arrived for the rescue. Hitzig used a boat to get close to the coyote and gave it two tranquilizer shots before officers hoisted the animal to safety.

"I got a chance to go swimming and I didn't have to do any paperwork for a few hours," Hitzig said.

The coyote was released back into the wild.
 

After hours of negotiations with San Diego County sheriff’s deputies, a man holed up inside a Bonita home was forcefully taken into custody Sunday.

Deputies were called to the apartment on Briarwood Road in Bonita just after 9 p.m. after a woman was allegedly assaulted by her husband.

When deputies arrived, James Kang refused to leave the apartment and displayed knives several times, officials said.

Deputies tried to negotiate with him for nearly three hours but they say Kang was uncooperative.

The SWAT members used a flashbang with tear gas and that forced Kang out of the apartment.

Officials were able to get Kang into custody. They say he was transported to jail on domestic violence charges.
 

A high-speed pursuit in Southern California ended Sunday in a four-car crash that killed a passenger, who was ejected from the pursuit vehicle and run over by a pickup, and left several other motorists injured, authorities said.

Police were called to a Target at 9050 Central Ave. in Montclair about 5:20 p.m. for a burglary in progress. When Montclair officers arrived, a man ran with two large TVs to a waiting Honda Accord with a woman behind the wheel, police said.

A pursuit began, and the driver of the Accord entered the westbound 10 Freeway, police said. Moments later, the car exited at the Indian Hill Boulevard offramp.

As the car was exiting the freeway, it collided with three other vehicles, throwing the passenger from the car, police said. The man was then struck by a white pickup, policed said.

The passenger, identified only as a man in his 30s, was pronounced dead at the scene.

"It was very chaotic with all the vehicles that were involved and the speed that was involved," said California Highway Patrol Sgt. Grady Stevens.

The driver, identified as 28-year-old Gabrielle Wines, was transported to Pomona Valley Hospital to be treated for unspecified injuries, police said. Wines faces charges of murder, burglary and evading a peace officer, police said.

Two other people who were involved in the crash also were hospitalized with minor injuries.

Mark Cuban is a man of many endeavors and never one to keep his thoughts private.

The Dallas Mavericks owner/entrepreneur/TV show host/Internet mogul is always on top of the latest business trends and his projection for the future of the country's most popular, powerful sport isn't a good one.

Cuban said he believes the NFL will implode within the next 10 years due to oversaturation, among other things, as the league has pondered having games on just about every day of the week.

“When pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered,” Cuban told reporters, according to The Dallas Morning News. “And they’re getting hoggy. When you try to take it too far, people turn the other way. I’m just telling you, when you got a good thing and you get greedy, it always, always, always, always, always turns against you.”

The NFL traditionally was always on Sunday with one Monday primetime game until the league expanded into Thursday night's slot. Now, the league is tinkering with Saturday regular-season games and has even tossed around the idea of trying to have a Wednesday night game. So Tuesdays and Fridays will be the only days off when it comes to NFL games.

Cuban said he acknowledges the fact that fantasy football players and bettors will always give the NFL ratings but he's not sure about the casual fan.

“They’re trying to take over every night of TV,” he said. “And initially, it’ll be the biggest rating thing there is. Then, if they get Saturday, now they’re impacting college. And then if they go to Wednesday, at some point, people get sick of it.”

Iowa State basketball coach Fred Hoiberg perhaps anticipated his dancing skills would be an Internet hit, because he texted his daughter an early apology over the potential embarrassment.

Hoiberg's locker room dancing was caught on tape after the Cyclones clinched a spot into the NCAA’s Sweet Sixteen by defeating the North Carolina Tar Heels 85-83.

“I just danced in the locker room…I’m guessing I probably embarrassed you…sorry!” Hoiberg said in a text message to his daughter, Paige, that she captured with a screen shot then tweeted out.

“Ahahhahaha don’t even currrr #nyc #SWEET16,” the teen wrote in a caption.

The Cyclones are scheduled to play UConn next on Friday, March 28.
 

Twenty five dancers at a San Diego strip club have filed a civil rights lawsuit against the San Diego Police Department, claiming that ten police officers held them against their will and took revealing pictures of their tattoos.

Ten San Diego police officers raided the Cheetahs Gentlemen’s Club in Kearny Mesa on March 6 to check 30 dancers’ permits and the business’ compliance to city codes, according to a claim filed by attorney Dan Gilleon.

During the check, the claim says the unidentified officers detained dancers against their will for about one hour without a warrant and without probably cause.

They ordered the women to pose in various positions and expose their body so the police could photograph their tattoos, all the while making “arrogant and demanding comments” and telling the women to “smile,” the claim states.

According to Gilleon, the SDPD said its officers were abiding by municipal code as they inspected the business and demanded identification.

“Any peace officer shall have free access to any police-regulated business during normal operating hours,” municipal code states.

But the civil rights lawsuit said the officers went too far, violating the dancers’ civil rights by making them disclose private information like social security numbers and subjecting them to demeaning searches and seizures.

Cheetahs manager Rich Buonantony said this isn’t the first time something like this has happened.

He claimed the women were helpless because if they said “no” to any part of the operation, their work permit and business licenses could be taken away.

The claim filed against the SDPD is for more than $10,000, though an exact dollar amount has not been released.

CTA union president Robert Kelly says the operator of a Blue Line train that derailed at O'Hare early Monday may have dozed off.

Kelly says early indications show that that's what may explain why the eight-car train jumped the tracks and landed on the stairs and escalators leading to the airport terminals just before 3 a.m.

According to Kelly, the female train operator had 17 hours off between her shifts.

At a news conference Monday, National Transportation Safety Board signal specialist Tim Depaepe said the motorman started her shift at about 8:40 p.m. Sunday.

"When she is released, we will make arrangements to interview her and find out what happened from her point of view," DePaepe said.

The train operator was walking, talking and answering questions afterward, fire officials said.

Thirty-two people were injured in the crash, none seriously.

San Diego and National City firefighters battled a two-alarm fire at a local auto body shop on Sunday.

The fire started around 5:15 p.m. at E&S Autoworks on West 11th Avenue and Hoover Avenue in National City, just east of Interstate 5.

Witnesses tell NBC 7 they heard explosions and then saw flames pouring from the building. The smoke could be seen from the 5 freeway.

A large crowd gathered to watch the activity, which shut down two city blocks. A HAZMAT team also responded.

Fire investigators are trying to determine what caused the fire. Officials did not have an exact dollar amount, but say hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage was done to the business.

 A case of assumed infidelity turned bloody after a woman stabbed her boyfriend when she found him with her sister, according to police.

A 19-year-old woman, crying and covered in blood, came up to officers at the Chula Vista Mall in south San Diego County around 9:30 a.m. Sunday.

She told the Chula Vista Police officers she had just been in a fight with her boyfriend at a house about a half mile away. She said she stabbed him and he needed help.

The officer found the home in the 500 block of Jefferson Street, and in a car out front, they saw a 26-year-old man in the passenger seat, bleeding from multiple stab wounds.

He was waiting for the suspect’s 25-year-old sister to drive him to the hospital. Neither had called 911.

Police describe the area as a “very bloody crime scene,” and the man had severe cuts to his face and arm, two stab wounds to his chest and two to his right leg.

He was taken to the UC San Diego Medical Center, where he is undergoing surgery for life-threatening injuries, according to the CVPD.

The suspect’s sister explained to police that she and the man had spent the night together at a nearby bar, just as friends. They were drinking until the early morning, and she said they fell asleep – fully clothed – on her bed.

She woke up to find her younger sister attacking the man. Police said the man’s story is the same.

However, the suspect told investigators that the stabbing may have been in self-defense.

The man said he fought back as she stabbed him, and the suspect ran away on foot until she came upon the officers to whom she confessed.

The younger sister was also taken to the hospital for “injuries consistent with being hit in the face,” according to the CVPD.

She has since been arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. The CVPD said additional charges like attempted homicide are still under evaluation. The identities of those involved is not being released at this time. 

The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an independent audit of the San Diego Police Department after allegations of sexual misconduct by uniformed officers.

The audit is expected to look at both the professional and personal aspects of the police department. It will examine the department's hiring process, the supervision of officers and the process in place to detect misconduct, as well as staffing levels, salaries and vehicle locator records.

Former San Diego Chief William Lansdowne had asked for an outside audit on the department after allegations surfaced of uniformed officers giving women improper pat downs and exposing themselves to women.

At a media briefing Monday, newly appointed Chief of Police Shelley Zimmerman said she in full support of the audit.

“It takes years of hard work to build the trust of our community and in just seconds, that trust can start to erode away all those years of hard work,” Zimmerman said.

“(This is) a positive step forward in identifying issues and finding remedies for any shortcomings that may exist," U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy said at the briefing. "More importantly, it’s a positive step forward in rebuilding the crucial relationship of trust and of confidence between the officers of the San Diego Police Department and those they are sworn to serve."

According to Duffy, the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Police Services, or COPS, will perform the audit. The audit will focus on overall misconduct with an emphasis on sexual misconduct among on-duty officers.

“When misconduct does occur, it’s our collective responsibility to act swiftly and demand accountability and correct the situation,” said Associate Attorney General Tony West.

Duffy said the San Diego Police Department volunteered to undergo the audit.

"I wanted to reassure residents and police officers that their assessment would be thorough, fair and independent," said COPS Director Ron Davis, adding that COPS representatives have already met with Zimmerman, Mayor Kevin Faulconer's office and other key stakeholders.

In deciding to come to San Diego, Davis said COPS looked at three primary factors: That lessons learned will benefit the entire law enforcement officer profession, the city and police leadership demonstrated a strong commitment to organizational reform and that the city and SDPD must embrace core principals and seek to become model.

The cost of the audit could range from $50,000 to $250,000, but Duffy said it will come at no charge to the city.

• Special Section: Trouble Behind the Badge

Christopher Hays, 30, was booked Feb. 9 on two felony counts of false imprisonment with violence and three misdemeanor counts of sexual battery. Hours after his arraignment, he resigned from the department saying he was not guilty and felt betrayed by the department.

Officer Donald Moncrief, 39, is accused of touching a woman inappropriately during an arrest in the South Bay last year and allegedly exposing himself to the woman. Moncrief has not been formally charged.

Former police officer Anthony Arevalos is currently serving prison time for sexual battery and false imprisonment charges he committed while in uniform as a police officer patrolling the Gaslamp from 2009 to 2011.

“Unfortunately, over these last few years, some of our officers have made the terrible decision to discredit our badge and dishonor our noble profession," Chief Zimmerman said Monday. "Not only do I but our entire department feels terrible about this misconduct.”

“We are not going to tolerate this misconduct and betrayal of our badge and our profession,” she added.

The audit is expected to take six to eight months to complete, then COPS will release its findings to the public. COPS will also perform outreach activities to get community input and feedback, according to Davis.

The FBI and U.S. Attorney have also launched a separate criminal investigation into what City Attorney Jan Goldsmith said is "case specific, meaning it will focus on conduct rather than an assessment or process."

Goldsmith did not release any information about the specifics of the alleged criminal activity.

A civil lawsuit filed by Arevalos' victim claims the department did not do enough to control Arevalos and prevent the misconduct.

"Is this separate 'bad apples' that have caused a problem, or is this endemic to the San Diego police culture that allows this to occur?" asked Arevalos' criminal attorney Gretchen von Helms. "We don't know the answer to that yet."

Just over a week after formal charges were filed against Hays, Chief Lansdowne announced his retirement after 10 years as top cop. In an interview with NBC 7 on Feb. 17, Lansdowne said he wanted to stay on the job and see the department through the scandal.

Newly elected Mayor Kevin Faulconer vowed to make the troubles plaguing the SDPD his top priority.

A judge on Monday denied bail for former NFL safety Darren Sharper, who is accused of drugging and raping two women he met at a West Hollywood nightclub.

Since Sharper's arrest in January, the Miami resident has been accused of raping women in Nevada, Louisiana and Arizona.

Sharper is accused of drugging 11 women in four states, and raping seven of them, officials said. In February, prosecutors pushed to have Sharper's bail raised to $10 million.

He is due back in court April 15.

Prosecutors said last month that Sharper met two women at a West Hollywood nightclub on Oct. 30, 2013, and invited them to another party. On the way, Sharper allegedly told them he had to stop by his Los Angeles hotel room and invited both women up, officials said.

While there, he allegedly gave each woman alcohol with zolpidem and morphine, prosecutors said.
The women passed out.

One of them allegedly woke up naked hours later with Sharper sexually assaulting her, officials said.

The second woman allegedly awoke and “interrupted his actions,” prosecutors said.

The two women then left the hotel.

On Jan. 14, Sharper met two separate women at the same West Hollywood nightclub and invited them to a party, prosecutors said.

Stopping at his hotel, he allegedly invited both up to his room, offered them a shot, and each passed out.

When they woke up hours later on Jan. 15, one woman believed she’d been sexually assaulted.
Both women left his hotel and sought medical treatment.

He was arrested Jan. 17 and released on $200,000 bail.

If convicted in the Los Angeles case, Sharper could face up to 30 years in prison. His lawyer believes Sharper will be "fully exonerated."

The 38-year-old played for the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and the New Orelans Saints during a 14-year NFL career.

With the weekend news of starting pitcher Josh Johnson out for at least a month with a forearm injury, the Padres are in reshuffle mode for their starting rotation. How that will shake out remains to be seen.

Here's what we do know: Andrew Cashner will still start the opener, followed by Ian Kennedy and Tyson Ross. Eric Stults will most likely move into the No. 4 spot. We also know that, with two days off in the first week of the season, the team likely won't need a No. 5 starter until April 8.

Who will that be?

It looks like it’s a battle between Matt Wisler and Robbie Erlin for the last spot in the rotation.

Wisler got the first chance to state his case as he started Sunday in place of Johnson with mixed results. The top-five prospect in the organization gave up five runs on five hits in 2 2/3 innings, but did allow only one extra-base hit. And the Padres pulled out an 11-7 win -- even if it is a meaningless exhibition result.

Manager Bud Black praised the No. 5 prospect in the organization before the game on Sunday.

"He's a young pitcher that has a lot of poise and his game is calm," Black told MLB.com. "Just the person, you feel good about, because he has a good head on his shoulders. He thinks the right things."

Erlin would make more sense, for a few reasons. First, he has Major League experience. The 23-year-old lefty made nine starts with the team last year, striking out 40 and putting up a respectable 4.12 ERA in 54 2/3 innings. That also means his service clock is already ticking.

“Even though he is a young pitcher as far as service time, he's been around us in big league camp,” Black said. “He's been around our players. He knows our expectations. He has high expectations of himself. So when he pitches in a big league game it's not new to him.”

Donn Roach and Tim Stauffer have been floated as options. But Black more or less ruled them out right now. Another young arm, Jesse Hahn, was optioned to Double-A on Sunday.

Black also said the team probably won’t be looking to make a trade to fill the hole.

“We have enough quality pitching internally to fill out our 12-man pitching staff and our Triple-A staff and our Double-A staff,” he said.

So the Padres will play the hand they are dealt, at least for the four-to-six weeks Johnson is expected to be out. Will that be enough to keep them competitive through the first month of the season? Looking forward on the schedule, the Padres have just one off day from April 10 to May 12, which means the fifth starter will have to take the mound at least four or five times.

Looking Ahead: The Friars finish up the Arizona portion of spring training on Wednesday, hosting games against the Cubs and Royals in Peoria before returning to San Diego on Wednesday. They play a pair of games at University of San Diego on Friday and Saturday against the Indians before opening up the regular season on Sunday’s nationally televised game against the Dodgers.

The Navy is considering a ban on the sale of tobacco products at Navy and Marine Corps Exchanges.

Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus has asked his staff to examine the impact of stopping tobacco sales on base, defense officials tell NBC News.

"We've already taken one step by ending price subsidies for tobacco products (on base,) and Secretary Mabus has asked his staff to look at additional ways to improve the health and readiness of our force,” said Cmdr. Tamara Lawrence, spokeswoman for the Secretary of the Navy. “We are in the early stages of this process."

One defense official said the new policy could go into effect as soon as Oct. 1.

There are still many unanswered questions regarding a potential ban, including if the ban would extend to ships’ stores and overseas installations.
 

A San Diego border inspector who created a scheme to wave through immigrant and marijuana smugglers was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison Monday.

Lorne “Hammer” Jones, 50, had a central role in a decade-long crime spree, according to U.S. Attorney Laura E. Duffy.

Jones, an inspector at the San Ysidro and Otay Mesa border crossings since 1994, allowed more than 66,000 pounds of drug cartel marijuana and many immigrants without documentation to enter into the U.S. illegally, federal prosecutors said.

The scheme started on a smaller scale, as he waved cars and vans full of immigrants and drugs through his lane at the San Ysidro Port of Entry. But it soon escalated to whole tractor trailers full of marijuana through the Otay Mesa port.

Jones volunteered to work overtime shifts so he could allow contraband-carrying vehicles to pass, according to testimony from his Dec. 2013 trial.

From there, the scheme became more sophisticated. Jones implemented a beeper code system to let smugglers known which of the 24 inspection lanes he was working.

However, the system failed in 2002 when Jones was unexpectedly reassigned to another lane, and a driver had to abandon his van full of marijuana in the inspection line.

Just months later, another van with nearly three tons of pot was intercepted in Jones’ lane a few car-lengths away from him.

According to Duffy, Jones “furiously” tried to wave on the cars in front of that van, but he was not fast enough. The driver and passenger hopped out and tried to escape from inspectors who ran to arrest them.

Witnesses noted that Jones did not try to apprehend the smugglers. He was just frozen in his booth, “paralyzed with fear,” prosecutors said.

That drug seizure is still the largest ever taken at the San Ysidro port.

Jones was indicted and arrested in 2010 on bribery and drug and immigrant smuggling charges.

Duffy said a dozen witnesses spoke against Jones at his trial, including his ex-wife, who recruited him to be a smuggler; a financial adviser who said he helped Jones hide his illegal profits; a former colleague who was also on the smugglers’ payroll and other co-conspirators.

During that trial, prosecutors showed data that proved Jones allowed known drug trafficking vehicles and drivers to pass through his lanes for years without a second look.

Jones was ultimately convicted of conspiracy to commit offenses against the U.S. and attempted importation of marijuana.

On Monday, he acknowledged that he waived his right to appeal.

“The actions that Lorne Jones has been convicted of tarnish the badge he wore, and I’m appreciative of the work done to bring him to justice,” said CBP Director of Field Operations Pete Flores.

Flores said his CBP officers are hard-working professionals who protect the border, and no corruption will be tolerated.

An effort to get a minimum wage increase and earned sick leave on the November ballot has passed its next step in the San Diego City Council.

On Monday, the council’s Economic Development and Intergovernmental Regulations Committee (ED & IR) voted 2 to 1 to draft an ordinance for consideration by the committee. The City Attorney’s Office and Council President’s Office will write that proposal.

The measures would include an increase of minimum wage for everyone working full-time within the city, access to five days of earned sick leave, a cost of living index attached to the minimum wage (to be updated annually) and a phase-in period that would allow small businesses and non-profits to implement the measures more slowly.

"Think about this: When you pay your employees wages that are too low, they wind up relying on social services,” said North Park resident Jeff Olsen. “ If you're really going to walk the walk about getting people off welfare and back to work, then this is the way to do it."

Council President Todd Gloria spoke in favor of a wage hike at the committee’s meeting Monday.

He cited an Institute of Women’s Policy Research study that shows a single San Diegan with no dependents needs to make at least $13.09 full-time, year-round to live.

No specific minimum wage has been proposed yet. The state’s current wage will go to $9 an hour in July, and then rise to $10 in 2016.

Business groups challenged the proponents’ research and warned that added costs would discourage hiring and put San Diego at a competitive disadvantage.

"Small business work on 3 to 4 percent margins. The stores I represent -- we're not Wal-Mart or Target. We don't have billions of dollars in the bank. We barely make it every day," said Mark Arabo with the Neighborhood Market Association.

The ED & IR is expected to consider the draft ordinance at its April 30 meeting. If passed, the full city council will need to approve it in order for the measure to be placed on the general election Nov. 4 ballot.
