National City’s police chief arrested a burglary suspect at gunpoint Wednesday morning.
Footage shot by OnScene TV shows Chief Jose Tellez pointing his gun at a man on a city street, ordering him to “Get down! Now!” A uniformed officer quickly pulls up to the scene and runs a pair of handcuffs to the chief, who has the suspect prone on the ground.
The suspect was one of three men believed to have been involved in an early morning break-in at a nearby locksmith kiosk.
About 5:30 a.m., someone called 911 to report the burglary at the kiosk in South Bay Plaza, on East Plaza Boulevard at Highland, Sgt. Ken Springer said.
The snow is so beautiful when it just barely begins to blanket the ground, but after it falls, it s treacherous. February days are gloomy and the desire to go out has decreased, at least for me. So this week, I m tipping the balance toward virtual events. Of course, that means the one that does require leaving home is worthwhile!

The thing about poetry is that a few words can mean so much. I love poetry readings and conversations for the invaluable insight and knowledge I gain. This Thursday, Honorée Fanonne Jeffers will be in conversation with Malcolm Tariq, who launched the Poetry as Protest series last Juneteenth. Jeffers wears many hats she is a poet, essayist, scholar, English professor and author of The Age of Phillis. She wrote the book after fifteen years of archival research into the life of Phillis Wheatley, a daring Black woman so you’re bound to learn something new about political upheaval and the transatlantic slave trade.
