First of all they are investigating one of their officers for while off duty sexually assaulting a woman earlier this month. And they are investigating another officer for tipping off that suspect to the investigation. A Police Department spokesperson confirms to nbc bay area tonight that police are investigating one of their own for Sexual Assault. And while they are saying little about the alleged interference in that case by another officer, this sfpd search warrant about the alleged interference tells more. It says on august 7 a woman came to San Francisco General Hospital saying she was injured during a Sexual Assault five days before. She identified the suspect, and selected him from a line up. According to the victim and the warrant, she and the officer went to her house and drank heavily. They went this to they are bedroom where she says they had sex despite her saying no, i dont want to. He was quote, hammered, so drunk he doesnt remember anything. The report alleges another officer a friend of the accused compromised the investigation. The search warrant requests approval for investigators to seize the cell phone of the officer who violated that saying he intentionally interfered with the investigation into the felony assault investigation both by lying to the investigators and by telling the suspect directly to inform him of the progress of investigation.

Regards to the investigation into interference, they say they are looking into everything. 50,000, thats how much pg e must now pay for failing to secure a substation in south san jose. Last august, burglars cut their way through this exterior fence at the metcalf substation and stole several thousands dollars worth of construction equipments. The brazen breakin went undetected by what pg e called robust security for more than five hours. In a statement the states Public Utility Commission says it investigation found that despite multiple alarms sounding during the breakin pg e security was was unaware. This follows promises to increase security after the 2013 attack by gunmen that shut down that substation for nearly a month. It is a highprofile Construction Company wasting taxpayers money in santa clairo county . Or is the county to blame . We broke the story last week. Tonight its intensifying. At issue, a 300 Million Health facility. It was expected to open next month. But its behind schedule by two or three years. County officials blame Turner Construction for neglecting this project near valley medical center. They say the company instead focused its resources on finishing levis stadium, which it was working on at the same time. The fact they have not had sufficient staff on board to actually do the project. Complete nonsense. The levis stadium project had nothing to do with this project. Turner construction also has done projects at stanford, sfo, and San Jose City hall just to name a fuchlt but tonight the company and the county met behind closed doors. No word yet on any progress. But if they fail to reach an agreement this week, a new contractor will be hired to finish the hospital.

Now an attorney for one of those shot says the nightclub failed to provide proper security for the event. The 22yearold San Francisco State University students claims to have trouble walking after he was shot in his foot. Obviously chris brown will tell you this is a frivolous lawsuit.

Bicycle advocates say it is just an example of one persons bad behavior and not the norm for thousands of people who are now riding bikes here in San Francisco.

However, this incident, you cant sit back and say its appropriate. I dont think people should avoid the issue. This is intolerable. Reporter police are now look for the driver and the cyclist. The incident comes in the midst of a bicycle debate in San Francisco. Some cyclists and some politicians want San Francisco to change the rules of the road and allow idaho stops. Thats when cyclists can roll through stop signs when safe. This bike commuter supports the idea. You have to be vigilant on aic into. When i make the decision not stop at a stop sign it is a well thought out decision. San francisco is not ooitd idaho. Reporter but captain john sanford is not vinced. Even some cyclists are doubtful. There are too many cyclists. Reporter as the bbt rolls forward, ride remembers hoping bad behavior like the incident at chriscal mass doesnt put the brakes on the discussion. I just dont think that one person who acted out aggressively can be a representation for all of the people who ride bikes. Reporter sfpd tonight says that zip car driver has not contacted police.
