County ems tells kpix 5, dmc was taking half of west contra costa countys 911 ambulance transports. They estimate close to 300 transports in the last 13 days have gone to nearby hospitals. Kaiser in richmond gets most of the transports, a 73 increase in ambulance patients. Contra costa Regional Medical center in martinez has seen a 43 increase. Even though alta bates is getting fewer patients than the other two, they have seen the biggest percentage jump, 164 . So far we dont know what impact this is having on wait times in the Emergency Rooms but betty said they waited too long and her brother died. Doctors hospital needs to get their self together really do. Reporter we reached out to alta bates in berkeley regarding the case of Booker Williams but because of patient privacy laws, they cant talk about the specific case at this time. Live in san pablo, im da lin, kpix 5. Thank you. Aside from blaming Doctors Medical center, the family plans to file a grievance against alta bates Summit Medical center. The cell phone video captures a bay area deputy punching a man while trying to arrest him. Some people are asking did that deputy go too far . Kpix 5s Elizabeth Cook joins us in the newsroom and these kinds of stories certainly in the national spotlight, liz. Reporter they are, allen. The video was posted online this week and experts we checked with say the officer did exactly what he is trained to do. Heres the situation. The deputy is trying to restrain a cotati man on the side of the road in guerneville. That man is on the ground. And the deputy is seen punching the suspect twice while trying to arrest him. The video was captured by an eyewitness last saturday. We took the video it a police trainer. He tells us the punches were warranted. We took the video to this police trainer. The officer is told if someone is resisting, uncooperative, they can use personal weapons striking techniques. Anytime officers use force, it looks bad. Reporter we checked with the Sonoma County Sheriffs Department today. They told us the punches were, quote, distraction jabs. Its a technique used to get people to stop what theyre doing. Use of police force is always a sensitive issue, but especially now with the emotions heightened in the wake of the shooting in ferguson, missouri. As for the suspect in the Sonoma County incident, he was booked for public drunkenness and resisting arrest. Live in the newsroom, Elizabeth Cook, kpix 5. A string of vandalism at stores in san jose has Business Owners on alert. Surveillance video inside a willow glen baskinrobbins captured shots fired into a window early yesterday. When the owner arrived to open the store, he found steel balls in the ice cream parlor. He believes that the vandal may have used a highpowered paint gun or bb gun. They didnt come in, thankfully, but yeah, because the alarm did not go off, but anyway, they just took the windows out and then day or two before they hit another couple of spots on lincoln avenue. So earlier this week, workers at a nearby starbucks say someone threw one of its outdoor tables through a window. And at a bevmo on the same street, windows were smashed last week. Not clear if these indents are related. New at 6 00 San Francisco has been drowning in eviction battles for years but every now and then one comes along that raises eyebrows. As kpix 5s andria borba shows us, this one involves a small fortune in missing rent checks. When i first started talking to lawyers about this case, they just shook their heads and said, we have never really heard one like this before. Reporter at 26th and treat youll find this vintage Mission Apartment building where tom anderson lives with his young son. And theres other children that live here, too, the couple upstairs has two children. Reporter a few months ago they heard rumors they were going to be evicted. So they went to the buildings Master Tenant, the man who lives right next door, and collects the rent checks. He told us everything would be fine. Dont worry about it. Reporter but things were not fine. The People Living here were in fact going to be evicted for not paying their rent even though they say they had been handing over their checks every, single month. I would say well over 20,000 probably 30,000. Reporter and it wasnt just the rent that went missing. The neighbors here say they were never served with the Legal Paperwork required for an eviction. So i had to go to the courthouse and get my own copies and pay for it myself. Reporter now, there is one person who is not being evicted here and that is the Master Tenant who collected the rent. This is one of the more egregious stories about an eviction that wevestein in a little while. Whats particularly terrible about this case is the tenants have no due process. So it seems like they all were quite alarmed to find out suddenly that they were expected to be out of their homes. Reporter this is not the first ugly fight in the city where rents are soaring. The pressure to capitalize is high. The stakes for families are higher. In San Francisco, losing your apartment a lot of times means you have to leave the city. Reporter but there is also another trend emerging in San Francisco. Im in a fight to keep my little place in the city here as hard as i can. Reporter in San Francisco, andria borba, kpix 5. We left messages with the Master Tenant and the landlord but received no response. However, in just the past 30 minutes, we did hear from the landlords attorney. She tells us this is an unfortunate situation but not the responsibility of the property owner. A bay area woman who lived through an airbnb nightmare finally has her condo back. Hey, here we go. Moment of truth. Cory was surprised to find her palm springs condo in mint condition. It is the first time she has been there since renting her second home to two brothers on airbnb in may. The men stopped paying after 30 days. She couldnt do much. A loophole in californias tenant law protects renters staying for more than a month. The squatters finally bailed when the story gained national attention. She doesnt blame airbnb but says that she is ready to move on. I dont know if people could understand it but i feel like theres this feeling of violation like being violated and so i dont want to have anything to do with like the way this place is right now. Ill definitely change everything out if im going to keep it and continue renting it. It is not clear when exactly the squatters left. She warns other airbnb renters dont rent for more than 10 days and do some research on people before you hand over those keys. Bank of america is paying a record fine for its role in the nations mortgage meltdown. Kpix 5 consumerwatch reporter julie watts on the deal with the Justice Department and what that means for homeowners who got hurt. Julie. Reporter well, less than half of the 16 billion settlement is actually designated for what they are calling consumer relief. That includes reducing mortgage balances and refinancing loans. But it wont help the people who have already lost their homes. This is appropriate given the size and the scope of the wrongdoing. Reporter the deal announced by attorney general eric holder is supposed to send 7 billion to homeowners in communities hurt by bank of america, countrywide and merrill lynch. This constitutes the largest civil settlement with a single entity in history. Reporter and that money is supposed to go to principal reduction, new loans for low income buyers, and restoring blighted communities where abandoned homes have fallen into disrepair. But theres nothing in it for the people who have already lost their homes. Concerns that a majority of the relief will not manage to reach those who were hardest hit. Reporter housing advocate kevin stein also questions whether this deal and similar deals with other banks will actually result in any more relief than what the banks would have paid anyway. Its not clear how much the agreement is really providing valueadded. Reporter but he says there are a few positives including money intended for housing counseling, support for the development of affordable housing, and an incentive for banks to distribute the settlement money quickly. So they for the most part provide more credit to the banks if they make Loan Modifications within the first year. Reporter but those who do get help could also get a big tax bill, something the attorney general urges congress to address and quickly. The hundreds of thousands of consumers we have sought to help may see a significant tax bill just as they are beginning to see the light at the end of a dark financial tunnel. Reporter now, b. Of a. Says it will be reaching out to customers who qualify for help. It says it also plans to hold a series of Community Events to connect with homeowners. Okay. So all of this money, is it trickling down, helping people who want to borrow now . No. They are hoping this prompts urgency a report by the independent monitor on the first of these types of settlements reached with chase showed only 6 million in relief was distributed to homeowners in the first nine months. And thats out of 4 billion that chase was supposed to provide. Although they are saying as they continue to see these settlements, they are learning from each one and now this one has some restrictions. They have to do it so that pot of money should be get doled out. Hopefully. Thats the theory. Yes. Thank you. Some good news for home sellers who missed the spring rush. New numbers show that there are plenty of buyers still ready to make some deals. The National Association of realtors says july sales jumped nearly 2. 5 . Thats the biggest increase of the year and far outpaced the projections. Analysts credit growing strength in housing recovery and the improving job market. Bay area headlines now. San jose police have arrested this man in connection with a fatal hitandrun sunday night. The 25yearold from san jose turned himself in to police yesterday. He is accused of running over and killing 53yearold man crossing the street. The collision happened at the intersection of center road and balfour drive. It was the first of two hit runs in two days on the same stretch of road. A fire that raced through two oakland buildings may have been started by fireworks. The fire was reported at 23rd avenue and international boulevard just before 11 00 last night. Firefighters did not get it under control for more than two hours. The two adjoining buildings housed six apartments and two businesses. Nearly three dozen people were displaced by the fire. Well, an embarrassment at the new 49ers stadium. The turf touted as ecofriendly is slippery sod. Reporter and that slippery grass did not make the cut here at levis stadium. It will be gone before the next preseason game. Just ahead, what one sod expert says could be happening with the grass. And a lastminute deal to keep a bay area golf course open but some unexpected competition is suddenly sparking a turf war. On this sunny day downtown hayward is shut down for a party. We are live tonight with your sevenday forecast from the downtown hayward street party. Streets getting full. Well have your sevenday forecast coming up. Coming up at 6 30, the serial stowaway was sentenced to 177 days, only served three. Pushed out because of a packed jail. Tonight the reality of early release. How its changing the game for crime and punishment in our state. ,,,, bulldog you dont need to camp out til labor day to reward yourself. Get a queen size serta mattress and box spring set for just 397. Not to labor the point, but this sale ends soon. Mattress discounters game. This is not what we expected to see at the new levis stadium. The turf completely after just one game, really not what we expected to see at the new levis stadium, the turf completely ripped out just the dark patch of brown remaining this afternoon. Kpix 5s len ramirez with some safety issues that required the workers to rip out the turf. Len. Reporter thats right. That grass was planted four months ago. And it had all that time to get set. But here it is being ripped up right now. It only lasted for one soccer game, one football game. Plus a couple of practices. Now, these are photos that were sent to us just a couple of hours ago showing grounds crews pulling up the sod and replacing it with new turf for sundays game against the chargers. The bandera bermuda grass was picked because it needs only half the water of regular grass. Its fast and durable, they say. It was coming up in big chunks during yesterdays practice causing players to slip and fall. Levis stadium has the grass on a sand base according to one expert, the grass may not be rooting well a term they call interfacing. Can be a situation where the turf doesnt adhere as well as possible or as well as hoped for. It might be a calendar issue where play resumed a little bit too quick or it might be an issue where the, you know, the plants just not taking on. Reporter sports teams frequently use the sand base because it resists compacting better than grass with a clay base. Plus, it requires less watering, which is a big concern here as levis stadium. The 49ers did not discuss the details of what may be happening with the grass. They only say that the field and the grass and the stadium will be ready for the game against the charmers. They are also not saying whether or not they are replacing it with bandera bermuda grass or some other variety. Live in santa clara, len ramirez, kpix 5. So the teams not saying much but the 9ers do say they are really not too concerned about a new field in time for sunday. What kind of turf war is shaping up at one of San Franciscos oldest golf courses . Kpix 5s don ford on the battle over who will run gleneagles. Reporter gleneagles is a small golf course in visitacion valley. The infamous sunnydale Housing Project is just next door. The operating lease with the city is up for renewal and this morning, the rec and Parks Commission voted. The rec and Park Commission voted unanimously to approve our lease extension for nine more years. Reporter not so fast. The board of supervisors still has to approve the extension and there is competition. A private investor who happens to be a course regular says the place is a wreck. He wants to take over. Folks agree the course needs help. Attendance has dropped off because the condition of the courses has, you know, has eroded some. Reporter the drought has had a major impact. Some areas are now just dry dirt. But thats deliberate. Were putting the water where it really counts around the greens for sure, the surrounding of the greens and 200 yards back. The course hasnt had any help from park and rec. Reporter gleneagles still has a core following. Managers say last year there were 18,000 rounds of golf played here on this 62acre course. Now, theres a plan to get it back into shape. Create a Training Center for the youth in the neighborhood to be trained by a local union. Reporter with professional guidance, they would learn landscaping, tree work and other relate construction skills. Thats plenty to do. Not much green here, although the plan has the green light from rec and parks. But the investor looking to take over the course isnt giving up. He plans to take his case straight to the board of supervisors. Now the lease goes before the board of supervisors for approval. And that vote is expected in two weeks. In San Francisco, don ford, kpix 5. Seven airmen from a Nevada Air Force base are being recognized for their bravery saving people in floodwaters. The dramatic rescue was caught on camera.

Its an eyesore for the high tech city and a story you will see only here on kpix 5. Kiet do takes us down the alley many people avoid. Its hard tonight youre in san jose. It really is its hard to believe youre in san jose. It really is. Reporter if you want to get away from the hightech hustle and bustle of san jose, you dont have to go very far. Come down to a place they call the alley. This is the heart of Silicon Valley and we have third world alleyways in the middle of our city. Reporter the alley is a two block stretch of dirt, potholes and forgotten history all of it owned by the city of san jose. This person owns one of the victorians along the alley complete with a stable that dates back to the mid 1800s when horse and buggies used the dirt path. Its like a country road. Reporter it stayed that way for generations. Today its a magnet for graffiti, dumping and flooding. During big storms the mud and water is knee deep. I call it lake 3rd street. Reporter after years of asking the city for help, he got so frustrate he put down layer and layer of carpet and rugs. I never gave up. I didnt know if i had any hope. I just kept trying to see what happens. Thats all you can do when youre dealing with bureaucrats. This is an embarrassment to the city. Reporter Councilmember Sam liccardo said the city wanted to divide up alley, sell chunks to the homeowners and close up the street. When that failed, there was no choice but to spend 1. 4 million to turn it from this to this. So we have been in a fix for several years now. And with no alternative, with regard to this alleyway, i decided to push forward and get it properly maintained and paved. Maybe this year they will do something. We hope. Reporter the alley. 150 years of dirt and optimism. And two bits of good news. Kid doe kpix 5. The state is paying for much of the paving. Construction should begin in a couple of weeks. Good effort.

Serial stowaway who has n made seven attempts at seven different planes. Now at 6 30, so thats now famous. The Senior Citizen turned serial stowaway who now made 7 attempts at 7 different planes but Marilyn Hartman isnt just famous for plane hopping. She is a highprofile example of californias changing justice system. Hartman was released from a full jail because of californias Prison Realignment Program designed to ease state prison overcrowding by sending low level offenders to county jails. Hows it working . Well, no one is all that sure. She just such a nice lady. Reporter it was the perfect example of a realignment disaster. A sex offender with 11 parole violations in one year who spent one day in jail before killing his grandmother and chopping her body into pieces. So if the system would have been working correctly my mother would still be alive. Reporter the release was blamed on a packed county jail, flush with inmates from the state prison system, a realignment horror story but certainly not the whole story. You get one bad headline and everybody screams, its not working. Reporter carol is with the Little Hoover Commission an independent group that investigates state government. She says realignment has accomplished the primary goal. We do know that the prison population has been reduced, thats been effective. Reporter there are now 50,000 fewer inmates in the state prison system. But no one has been keeping score on what has happened to all of those inmates once they landed back in county jails. And we dont have the data really to know how its turned out. So some counties say they have done really well. San francisco, for example, does a really good job. Reporter yes. San francisco, where the jails are now 40 undercapacity. There is no way anybody would have guessed that. Reporter San Francisco sheriff Ross Mirkarimi says it required creativity. Some didnt put resources into rehabilitation reentry. Reporter its not just the progressive sheriff in San Francisco. Governor brown one time referred to me, youre that hard ass from san mateo county. Reporter District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe says the new approach is born of necessaryive. Crime was out of control. It was total. It was just out of control. So what we got in the 80s and 90s we started the lockup theory. Reporter while harsh sentences drove crime down it proved unstainable in space and cost so now california is forced to try something different. Its the greatest change in california criminal law since 1872 when they wrote the california penal code. So going forward, we are going to construct a better system. Reporter and at three years old, realignment is just about over. Now california has to figure out how to keep the prisons from spilling over again. That will mean tough decisions about law, order and costs. Thats where we have to start looking a little more sharply at, you know, who are we sending to prison for how long and why. Now were taking the approach, do the crime, and, uhm, maybe were going to give you some help. Maybe the biggest question you have is crime rates. In the three years of realignment there is no evidence that Violent Crime has risen in california. Property crime is up in some areas. But so far, no definitive evidence tying that increase to the movement of those state prisoners. And this new way that we just heard about there in your report it sounds similar to the way that maybe drug offenses are punished. It is. Its not just drug crimes. Its nonviolent criminals with the Mental Health problems. There is a growing consensus prison not the best option for some of them. Not only is it the most expensive option, but the results we know there is evidence it fails. Thank you. Well, family members are stand booing i a woman who has been standing by a woman who has been charged in the hitand run death of her niece. She wasnt the driver and police say she put the toddler in danger. 25yearold lorysha gage was distraught in a San Francisco crime. She is facing felony child endangerment charges. Gage was crossing Mission Street last friday night with her 2yearold niece. Gage is accused of leaving her in the street to go back for her twin brother. Grieving family members say it is a terrible accident. So im going to do everything i can to help her. She dont deserve to be in there. She should be set free. Awful. The mother of the child doesnt blame her sister for the toddlers death and she says her arrest is not justice. Gages bail was set at 50,000. Police are still looking for the driver who is responsible. The video clip is now at the center of the investigation into the fatal beating of a San Francisco man. A taxi dashcam recorded a man in a hoodie about the same time and in the same area where Bryan Higgins was attacked august 10. Police are releasing this brief video homing someone will recognize him. Higgins, a homosexual man and popular fixture in the neighborhood, was taken off life support and died three days after that beating. Well, did you forget your stuff at Airport Security . Sfo is asking travelers to make sure they have not left valuables behind at tsa lines. About 20,000 items come through the airports lost and found each year including small items and a surprising number of laptops. Get this last year, more than 900 laptops were stored in lost and found so why do so many items get left behind . They probably want x amount of fee to check the bag in, hey its easier to leave it at the checkpoint and then when i return back, i can claim the bag. Doesnt always work that way. The airport tells us about 20 of the items are never claimed and they must be sold at auction. Hopefully that wasnt your laptop. I dont know what that was. Never lost a laptop thank goodness. Eating fish while you are expecting. Tonight a new warning about mercury levels in seafood. The one fish pregnant women are being told to avoid entirely. The giants get a Second Chance against the cubs after the Wrigley Field tarp fiasco only to get delayed by rain again.

Brantly and his coworker Nancy Writebol got sick in liberia. She has also been released from the hospital. Dr. Brantly today asked people to pray for liberia and west africa calling on World Leaders to do everything they can to stop the outbreak. Eating fish can have great Health Benefits especially for your heart. But now a warning for pregnant women. Reporter Jericka Duncan explains why they should avoid one popular fish. Reporter Susan Schneider changed her diet and started eating healthier when she got pregnant. Its really hard. And i gave up caffeine and i used to have five cups a day. Reporter she also tries to eat fish when she can. Fish is good for the baby. Reporter but the food and Drug Administration recommends pregnant women eat up to 12 ounces of fish per week, which can include some small amounts of canned tuna. But Consumer Reports did its own analysis and they are telling pregnant women to avoid tuna completely. Tuna can have some very high mercury levels. Reporter Consumer Reports says the problem is that mercury levels in canned tune in a can vary so you dont know what youre getting. Now, most tune in a is safe. But the fdas own Research Found that 20 of cans tested actually had high levels of mercury. The fda is standing by its recommendation and tells cbs news the Consumer Reports analysis is limited and that it focuses exclusively on the mercury levels in fish without considering the known positive nutritional benefits attributed to fish. Consumer reports says there are plenty of fish besides tuna that are Better Options for pregnant women. Choose low mercury fish. Reporter low mercury fish include wild salmon, shrimp, sardines, tilapia and scallops. The Group Believes these fish can give pregnant women the Health Benefits without the risk. Jericka duncan, cbs news, new york. Health experts say chunk white canned tuna has less mercury than albacore canned tuna. Well, he is the bay areas hometown hoop star.

Ken bastida will take off in his corvette to bowling green, kentucky, tomorrow, to race across 15 states and while he is leaking oil all the way across the nation [ laughter ] the grand prix of sonoma will drop the green flag on sunday and [ indiscernible ] dominate the area more than the wine rips. Last year the aussie won the third race in four years in sonoma and is headed to an irl championship as the season wraps up. The dominance leaves younger drivers wondering how to gain an edge. It is very tough to pass here. The easiest way is to just hit guys. Thats what i find. Fuel strategy actually sometimes takes a back seat to hanging on to your tires. But well see a little bit of strategery happening i think this weekend for sure. Strategery. That was a joke. Thats not a real world. We hope you strategery join us for the raiders and packers tomorrow night. Darrell carr wont play after a rib injury and concussion last week against the lions. Raiders and packers tomorrow at 5 00 on kpix 5. 5th quarter follows. Earlier in the newscast, we showed you the ripped up turf at levis stadium. The team decided to remove the strip down the middle of of the field after jim harbaugh pulled the plug on practice there yesterday. 49ers host the chargers on sunday. They have assured us the field will be fine and ready to go to kick off at the scheduled time. Do you see a situation where you might take a look at that thing and say we wont put our team on it . They have assured us its ready to go and were going to play a football game. 49ers have the best receiving corps in years so for a rookie to crack that roster will be extremely difficult but la dannion washington has over con a lot more than that. When i was stationed and my dad was shot and killed in the 5th inning my mother was at one of my varsity basketball games during the tournament after christmas, you know, and she passed away blood clot and on the way to the hospital she was pronounced dead. Reporter a lifetime of tragedy should have killed the dream of la damian to become an nfl receiver. The grief come out when he should have been at his happiest. Probably the best game i ever played as a sophomore especially or varsity, i dont know if it was because it would be the last game that she actually had a chance to see me play or what. Reporter in an instant, ladamian and his three brothers became orphans. Could have been separated. My oldest brother luckily he was 19 at the time, you know, he had just turned 19 and, uhm, he was able to be our guardian. He was a 19yearold father to three younger brothers. Reporter each of the washington brothers was forced to grow up. Forced to provide for the family in their own way. My role was to go to school, get a degree and education. Reporter he earned a psychology degree at missouri and caught 10 touchdowns last season for the tigers but life wasnt always happy living nearly 600 miles away from his brothers, who could barely pay the bills i shreveport. My first two years in college i struggled just thinking about my family back home and missing them and knowing that youre off at this university and everything is golden and handed to you in a sense. Reporter but nothing has been handed to washington ever since he was one of the best receivers last season in College Footballs toughest conference yet he was not drafted. The cowboys cut him less than two weeks into training camp. But ladamian keeps the nfl hope alive all for the good of the family. More for them than myself. The 49ers have been targeting him in their first couple preseason games almost had a touchdown last week. So the practice rosters have been expanded squads from 8 to 10 so he might be a player who can make the practice rosters. Hope so. Seems like a good kid. Great guy and they can use him at home too. So why not rip up all the turf . Why just down the center . Thats the most played. They dont have to replace the end zone turf because it wasnt used last week. [ laughter ] ill be here all week.
