We are told its what the family was driving in when they were hit by that white pickup truck. A 23yearold pittsburg man was driving a stolen f250 and was spotted by a Contra Costa County sheriffs deputy.

We understand that he bailed out shortly after he was booked. But he is now facing charges tonight for his alleged mistreatment of an inmate that resulted in that inmate getting beaten after the two had an argument. There was some type of interaction that took place between him and the inmate that was attacked. And that maybe as retaliation for retribution, he sanctioned this assault to occur. Reporter Sergeant Ray Kelly with the Alameda County Sheriffs Office says the alleged incident happened last october in a dormitory area. Fellow officers and Staff Members took their concerns to a supervisor alleging that Deputy Joseph bailey facilitated and allowed a small group of inmates to physically assault another inmate in minimum security. Bailey and the inmate allegedly got into an argument before the beating. Bailey is accused of knowingly placing that inmate in an area where he was prone to assault by a group of inmates. The inmate was beat up and hospitalized but is okay. Investigators interviewed more than two dozen people including other inmates, inmates that have since been released after the beating, and Sheriffs Office employees. Bailey was put on administrative leave last year and the d. A. s office charged him today. The 28yearold deputy lives in tracy and has been with the Sheriffs Office since january 2015.

Its a 1 billion arena. It will feature stateofthe art scoreboards, a wide array of food options, seating 18,000 fans. Theres been concern about traffic and parking in the area once it opens. But Officials Say they are working with muni to increase train and bus service in addition to parking options. We have about 950 spaces within the parking garage that we are constructing here.

Looks like its going to be beautiful lets go over to meteorologist mark tamayo in for bill tonight. Its a gray day. A little rain is heading our way. There is some rain coming. Today it was gloomy with haze and fog. Well mix out things the haze heading into the thursday forecast. We have a system coming on board for tomorrow and a much cooler weather pattern, as well. So heres our thinking with the timeline. If you are thinking the early portion of the commute that should not be too bad at 6 a. M. Just a chance of a shower and you will notice we are not bringing this into the heavy rains but still light to moderate rainfall as we head into the afternoon hours for your thursday. We are just talking about that haze and its still showing up in our live camera looking toward the bay here from San Francisco. You can barely pick out the bay bridge here. So still lingering fog out there. The visibility not so great. Things will be changing though tomorrow. Heres the satellite showing you the clouds moving into Northern California the green is up to our north at the north coast but that will be changing especially by mid to late morning on your thursday. Current temperatures are in the 50s, still a few 60s towards san jose. 64. And concord in the upper 50s, 57 degrees. So in San Francisco, 7 00, the chance of some rain tomorrow morning but then we are going to bump up the chances into the afternoon hours by 1 00. And then by 3 00 as well, rainfall likely and well hold on to some scattered showers with the possibility of some thunderstorms as we head into your friday forecast. So heres the overall weather pattern. We are watching this cool weather pattern here in the pacific reminds us of winter and, of course, it is still winter so a dropoff in temperatures in your thursday forecast that will carry over to the weekend and this is the developing headline and also a snow producer finally a cold system to drop the snow levels in the sierra. Winter storm warning in place even at lake level could be talking about 4 to 8 inches and up above 7,000 feet a few spots could be approaching 2 feet so this will be a productive system in the mountains. Here we are tomorrow morning, dry in the south bay chance of some scattered showers up in the north bay and still 12 00, you will notice the things start to materialize into the afternoon hours by 4 00. And then well take this into your friday. Some scattered showers quickly moving across portions of the bay area. This would be the highest chance of picking up some isolated thunderstorms as well in your friday forecast. Here we go tomorrow though. We are cooling things off lots of 50s out there. Warmest locations approaching 60 degrees. We are tracking another system into the weekend. Now, saturday they can say its going to be dry. Sunday we have to bring in a chance of rain showers by sunday afternoon. But then the main event in terms of heavy rainfall that could be moving in by sunday evening so the chance sunday afternoon better bet sunday night into monday. And i think with this system coming on board tomorrow, a lot of happy people waiting for snow in the sierra. They have been trying to keep the slopes covered with the manmade snow. But this will be the real deal. They have been waiting a while. Its about time. Thank you. The Winter Olympics are now just three weeks away.
