A woman's cellphone was stolen from an Orange County theme park in California but it kept updating its location, leading authorities to a significant drug bust and six arrests, officials said.

The phone was reported stolen on Friday from Knott's Berry Farm on Friday evening, according to a San Bernardino Sheriffs Department news release. Its owner gave deputies its location, in the 11200 block of 4th Avenue in Hesperia, San Bernardino County.

There, the deputies made a series of discoveries on Saturday morning at about 1 a.m.

The owner of the home, Stacey Shelton, allegedly admitted to taking the phone while at Knott's Berry Farm; a known parolee was found to be in possession of methamphetamine and hypodermic needles and deputies saw a THC extraction lab, the news release said.

THC, also known as butane honey oil, is a highly concentrated form of marijuana that's legal to use in California as medical marijuana but illegal to make -- 32 people died from explosions caused by the honey oil production process in California last year, according to the Drug Endangered Children Training and Advocacy Center.

The Sheriff's Marijuana Enforcement Team arrived with a search warrant and discovered the THC lab was allegedly operational. They also found marijuana, methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia, according to the news release.

Deputies found marijuana in the child's bedroom, and deputies allege that Stacey and Michael Shelton admitted to smoking the drug with the 13-year-old. Children and Family Services was called, the news release said.

The Sheltons were arrested along with four other people, ranging in age from 22 to 51, according to the news release. They were booked on various charges.

Deputies ask anyone with information about the lab to call 909-890-4840.

A Sig Alert was issued for a crash on Interstate 805 north involving an 18-wheeler, the California Highway Patrol said.

A Sig Alert was put into place at 2:38 p.m., officers said, and was cleared just before 3:30 p.m. 

The crash happened shortly after 2:05 p.m. Sunday where I-805 merges with Interstate 5 north, officers said. 

An 18-wheeler and a Honda Civic collided, officers said, and the two right lanes are blocks. 

Those involved suffered minor injuries. 

A 5-year-old girl was killed in a hit-and-run accident Saturday afternoon in the Chicago Lawn neighborhood after she left her house to buy a treat from an ice cream truck.

Maria Gonzalez was with her mother in her home in the 5900 block of South Mozart doing her homework at about 3:15 p.m. when she heard the sound of an ice cream truck, her father, Juan Gonzales, told NBC Chicago. Maria managed to unhook the chain lock on her front door using a broom and ran outside before either parent could stop her, the family said.

Maria's father, who was working outside in the yard, said he told his daughter to stop running, but the girl continued toward the truck.

On her way back to their home after stopping by the ice cream truck, a dark-colored vehicle sped by and struck Maria, Chicago Police said. Juan Gonzalez, who heard the impact but did not see it, said the driver seemed to be driving more than 40 miles per hour.

"I heard the crash," he said. "I never let my child go out."

Security video from a neighbor's camera shows the vehicle traveling fast down Mozart Avenue near 59th Street. 

Gonzalez said he found his daughter underneath a parked car about 30 feet away from where she was hit. 

A neighbor who saw the incident said he's haunted by the image. 

"I got to see her face up close, it was maybe less than a foot or two away from me," said George Castrejon. 

Following the accident, the driver fled the scene.

"Why he run away?" Gonzalez said. "Why didn't he stop?"

Maria's family called an ambulance, but the girl died on the way to the hospital, her father said.

Police said the vehicle they are looking for is a two-door, dark-colored Honda Civic with a dull or primer finish, equipped with a sunroof and spoiler. The vehicle was last seen traveling westbound on 60th Street from Mozart Avenue. 

Police ask anyone with information regarding the accident to contact the Major Accident Investigation Unit at 312-745-4521.

A tour bus caught fire along Interstate 395 on Saturday, creating a huge scene.

Video captured at the location showed the back of the bus fully engulfed by the fire. The driver was able to pull over near the Pentagon exit, and everyone inside escaped safely.

Investigators aren’t sure how the fire started. Smoke could be seen from locations in northwest D.C.

The Scripps Health Medical Response Team returned from Nepal to San Diego International Airport Saturday evening amidst cheers and signs of affection.

Sarita Shakya draped each of the five team members with scarves, a good luck charm from her Native country of Nepal.

“They were able to help my country when we really need it,” said Shakya with a smile.

The team of four nurses and a team leader spent 23 days in earthquake-ravaged Nepal acting as mobile medical units in remote areas. Tents and outdoor areas served as intake and treatment centers.

The team literally, in some instances, got people back on their feet.

“To get around and walk is there life,” explained Nurse Patty Skoglund. “So we were able to cast people and give them the right supplies so they could get around and survive."

Team members say in all they helped threat 2,200 patients in 13 villages.

They shared pictures of a woman they helped helicopter out for septic shock treatment.

Nurse Debra McQuillen is happy she's home, but wishing she could do more.

“Always for better, to be home, but always have survivors guilt because we get to come home that is home for them and they have a lot of rebuilding to do," McQuillen said. 

Authorities identified a body discovered in the Hudson River as that of the 46-year-old missing kayaker killed last month, allegedly by his fiancee, a source close to the case said Sunday.

Michael Archer, a forensic scientist, said the body has been "positively identified" as Vincent Viafore. Viafore has been missing since April 19, when his kayak capsized in the Hudson about 50 miles north of New York City.

Archer is working for attorneys representing Angelika Graswald, who is charged in Viafore's death.

"The members of Ms. Graswald's defense team, like everybody involved in this case, are relieved that Mr. Viafore has been recovered and identified," Archer said.

"It is our sincere hope that the recovery and identification of Mr. Viafore helps bring some consolation to his family and loved ones," he added.

Graswald, 35, who had been Viafore's fiancee, was charged with second-degree murder.

Viafore's body was found near the Cornwall Yacht Club, about a mile south of where his kayak capsized. The body was immediately taken to a medical examiner to determine the identity.

The medical examiner's office did not return phone messages requesting comment on Sunday.

Graswald, a Latvian expatriate, admitted to tampering with Viafore's kayak while the engaged couple paddled on the Hudson and later confessed "it felt good knowing he would die," a prosecutor said at Graswald's bail hearing.

Viafore, 46, was not wearing a life jacket.

Assistant District Attorney Julie Mohl said at a bail hearing that Graswald felt trapped and stood to benefit from $250,000 life insurance policies.

Mohl did not detail how Graswald tampered with her fiance's kayak but said it filled with water and capsized. Viafore held onto his boat for 5 to 10 minutes in the cold, choppy water, but Graswald called 911 some 20 minutes after his kayak capsized. Witnesses say she intentionally capsized her own kayak, Mohl said.

Graswald was rescued by another boater and treated for hypothermia.

She later told investigators that she felt relief and "it felt good knowing he would die," Mohl said.

The judge set bail at $3 million cash.

After the hearing, defense attorney Richard Portale noted the language barrier between Graswald and investigators. He said he would look into whether her statements were voluntary.

"I'm skeptical of the statements," he said.  

For 98-year-old Sister Angela Rooney, it was one of the most jarring moves of her life.

She always thought she would live out her days as she had for decades, in a convent under the time-honored Roman Catholic tradition of younger nuns dutifully caring for their older sisters.

But with few young women choosing religious life, her church superiors were forced to look elsewhere for care, and in the past year have sent Rooney and dozens of other nuns to Jewish Home Lifecare, a geriatric-care complex in the Bronx founded as a nursing home for elderly Jews.

"I wanted my convent, my great big chapel, my Stations of the Cross,'' Rooney said. "The very name `Jewish Home' turned me off. ... I don't think anyone came here with a heavier heart than me.''

Rooney and 57 other sisters, ages 73 to 98, have since adjusted nicely to their new accommodations and neighbors, becoming an active part of classes and continuing their ministry with good deeds like holding the hands of dying patients on the hospice floor.

"This is home now,'' said 83-year-old Sister Grace Henke. "When we first came, we were fish out of water.''

It's an unusual situation that reflects a reality of the nation's Catholic nuns in the 21st century: Fewer young women are devoting their lives to religious orders, and those who are already nuns are aging and facing escalating health care needs.

There are now more sisters over age 90 than under age 60, said Mary Gautier, a researcher at the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. The center's 2009 study found that 80 percent of the nuns in the country were over 60.

"Their model of caring for their older sisters is no longer sustainable,'' said Robin Eggert, president of the Realm consulting group, which has worked with several nuns' orders to find solutions.

Eggert said a number of women's religious orders have partnered with outside organizations offering skilled nursing, assisted living and other levels of care, but `"We've never done Jewish before.''

The Sisters of Charity of New York has seen its numbers decline from a 1960s peak of 1,350 to 270 today, and no new sisters had joined in the U.S. in 20 years. It was the first order to put out a request for proposals that was answered by the nonprofit Jewish Home Lifecare. Two other orders based in Manhattan, the Franciscan Handmaids of the Most Pure Heart of Mary and the Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, followed.

Several of the nuns now living at Jewish Home, including retired teachers, social workers and nurses, said they were very happy after some original hesitation.

"We've almost all, 95 percent, accepted and acclimated. Those who were resistant have kind of calmed down,'' said 92-year-old Sister Rosemarie Bittermann.

"It certainly fit our needs,'' said Sister Loretta Theresa Richards, 86. "We can stay together, we have our own little chapel. They went out of their way to find a space for us to have Mass. I have to say it was so nice I was a little reluctant, because I took a vow of poverty.''

Some things are different, however. While Jewish Home Lifecare is now nondenominational _ most residents are Christian _ its Jewish heritage remains apparent, with a resident rabbi and kosher-style meals in the independent living residences.

"I miss the bacon,'' Richards said. Added Sister Maria Goretti Mannix, 83: "I notice that we never get ham or pork chops. The food is good, though.''

The nuns' care is funded through a combination of Medicaid, Medicare, the New York archdiocesan health plan, payments from the order itself and the individual sisters' scant assets.

Officers used the Jaws of life to rescue a woman trapped in a car that rolled over multiple times near Fallbrook. 

The accident happened just after midnight on Sunday when a car rolled over multiple times on Interstate 15 near the Fallbrook Community. 

Fire crews had to use jaws of life to rescue the woman from the car.

She was taken to the hospital after Oceanside Fire Department's Reach 16 helicopter lifted her out. The woman was taken to a nearby trauma unit and her condition is unknown.

Another male involved was also transported, though officers said they believed his injuries were less significant.

Two experts from SeaWorld will travel to the oil spill near Santa Barbara to help rescue and care for local wildlife.

Nick Northcraft and Bill Winhall, both animal care specialists with SeaWorld’s Oiled Wildlife Care Network, left San Diego at 4 a.m. Sunday to travel to the spill. The pair will work in the spill’s hot zone area as part of a wildlife recovery team.

A team of 100 specialists will remain on standby in case their helped is needed at the site of the spill. 

SeaWorld has been treating several animals from the spill in San Diego, including a sea lion and elephant seal that arrived Friday and another sea lion and elephant seal that arrived Saturday.

The conditions of those animals are guarded as employees assess their condition and the animals are stabilized.

A man and a woman found Sunday in Warner Springs were positively identified as the Fullerton couple who were reported missing two weeks ago, San Diego County Sheriff's Department officials said. 

Dianna Bedwell and Cecil Knutson were last seen leaving Valley View Casino on Mother's Day.

On Sunday, a white car was spotted east of State Route 79, approximately 47 miles from the casino.

The Los Coyotes Police chief told NBC 7 a man was found dead and a woman was found in desperate need of medical attention Sunday. The area is about 30 minutes from Isil Road and Camino San Ignacio near the Los Coyotes Reservation.

The chief said there were cups placed all around the vehicle so it appears the couple survived off rainwater.

Bedwell was taken by air ambulance to a nearby hospital. 

San Diego County Sheriff's officials worked with Riverside County Sheriff's officials to search for the couple.

Volunteers with Team Amber Rescue volunteers said the group walked or drove every possible route imaginable looking for signs of the couple and their white Hyundai Sonata. They searched from Indio to Borrego.

Memorial Day fun turned into a holiday nightmare on Fort Lauderdale Beach when a waterspout turned tornado launched a bounce house into the air.

Several children were injured when the inflatable bounce house they were playing in at 801 Seabreeze Avenue was sent flying across a parking lot and into a roadway, Fort Lauderdale police said.

Shamoya Ferguson was one of three kids inside. She was left with a huge bruise on her forehead that would keep her in the hospital overnight.

"I was in the bounce house and a tornado while I was in the bounce house and I flew up and dropped," the 6-year-old said.

Sunbathers watched as the waterspout came ashore, turned into an EF-0 tornado and sent the bounce house spinning, then lifted it above the palm trees.

"I was thinking I was about to die," said 5-year old Shadaja Bryant, who was left with a broken arm after the violent ride. "I was in the bounce house and then it flew while I was in there, then I fell in the dirt."

Bryant's father Ryan Howard said he felt helpless.

"I was crying all the way there and from the time I saw the bounce house to the hospital I was crying, I was shaken real bad," Howard said. "I thought it was safe."

Witnesses described a frightening scene.

"Everyone was screaming, 'Oh my God, Oh my God.' And then everyone started to run," said Sophia Fuller. "It was coming from in the water and then it was coming to where we were sitting."

Then it made a hard turn and headed for a bounce house. Moments later children started to drop from the sky.

"It was like spinning around, broke the basketball goal, it broke the light poles. It kept spinning and that's when the little girl fell on the concrete," said Jammelia Wray.

A Memorial Day tradition for Sophia Fuller and Jammelia Wray ended with a family gathering at Broward Health Medical Center.

Two family members, 6-year-old Shamoya who goes by Sugar and her 11-year-old step brother AJ were seriously injured when they plummeted from the bounce house from 20 feet in the air.

"They just hit the sand," said Fuller, the children's aunt.

"She was in shock, she couldn't talk. She was just screaming. Her mouth was bloody," added Wray, who is their cousin. "My other little cousin's mouth was bloody. He was just laying there. He was shaking."

"Her neck, they had to put a neck brace on her and my nephew they had to wrap him up in plastic," Fuller said.

Witnesses said police cut through the bounce house when it stopped on the street to make sure no children were still inside.

"These bounce houses are permitted. It's an incident, an act of mother nature that couldn't be prevented," said Fort Lauderdale Police Officer Deanna Greenlaw.

The children were all transported to Broward Health Medical Center.

According to the National Weather Service, the waterspout was classified as an EF-0 tornado, which can have winds between 65 and 85 miles per hour. Waterspouts are called tornadoes when they cross onto land. 

Three children were injured in a similar bounce house incident last May in upstate New York. Two boys fell about 20 feet when a strong wind swept their backyard bounce house into the air.

One of the children fell into the street, while a second child fell into an apartment building parking lot.

Experts generally advise against setting up bounce houses up on soft ground, and recommend that the spikes anchoring the bounce house should be made of durable material and be at least nine inches long. Bigger, more durable stakes are available at hardware stores.

Bounce houses can weigh anywhere from 200 to 600 pounds.

The Chicago Bears rolled the dice on signing defensive end Ray McDonald after a history of domestic abuse accusations and arrests, and on Monday their gamble didn't pay off as the team released McDonald following a domestic violence arrest. 

"We believe in second chances, but when we signed Ray we were very clear what our expectations were if he was to remain a Bear," Bears G.M. Ryan Pace said in a statement. "He was not able to meet the standard and the decision was made to release him."

McDonald, who played for the San Francisco 49'ers under Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, was released by the team last season after he was arrested for assault in California. 

That arrest (the charges were eventually dropped because of insufficent evidence) was one of several brushes with the law that McDonald has had over the past few years. He also was accused of sexual assault last year, and he was also arrested for DUI and charged with failing to appear in court on the charges. 

When the Bears signed McDonald, team chairman George McCaskey said that McDonald's case was one of "bad judgment" and that he believed that the lineman was a changed man. 

An early morning water main break left a section of roadway unstable and vulnerable to collapse in Fallbrook, officials said. 

A resident called in the water main break, which crews later determined to be a break in a 12 inch water main, around 1 a.m. Monday on South Mission Road between West Fallbrook Street and Aviation. The break is affecting the whole intersection.

Crews estimated that the break left 400,000 gallons of water still in the sinkhole, ready to bubble up. 

Water department crews turned off the water but are still trying to seal the main all the way. The sinkhole that has formed in the area has four to five feet of water in it, which crews are working to drain.

The ground underneath the asphalt east of the sinkhole has washed out, crews on scene said, and 400 feet of roadway could collapse. They said they would recommend the county close the section of road to drivers for days as it will be unstable and could collapse.

The break is affecting the entire intersection in the area, where crews estimate a shopping center could be left without water as a result and potentially some residents in the area as well.

Once crews drain the water, they can begin to repair the main. Officials said they would be on the scene for most of the day working to repair the damage.

Police have reopened streets surrounding the Plaza De Las Americas mall near the U.S.-Mexico border after a reported grenade near a strip mall turned out to not be dangerous. 

San Diego Police said the call came in around 3:17 p.m. Monday when someone called in to say they found a grenade near a Marshall's sign at a strip mall. 

Around 5:15 p.m., police said the device was deemed not dangerous.

A Sig alert was issued at the 4400 block of Camino De La Plaza and for surrounding streets as police worked. The alert has since been lifted. 

Officers said when they arrived on scene, they inspected the device and dedided to call in the bomb squad.
