Detective Sgt. Bryon Denny places a name tag on the jacket of 7-year-old Mason Lovejoy-Kalinoski during the annual Shop with a Cop event at Grantham Elementary School on Wednesday in Clarkston. The event gave police throughout the area a chance to do something positive with kids after all of the other events they usually do were canceled because of COVID-19, Clarkston School Resource Officer John Morbeck said. Each kid received a gift card as an alternative to shopping in stores.

Yolo County prosecutors virtually attended three lifer parole hearings this week for inmates in three separate prisons across the state.
On Tuesday, a two-commissioner panel of the Board of Parole Hearings denied release to 27-year-old Alejandro Sanchez, who in 2010 was sentenced to prison for 15 years to life for a Woodland sexual assault.
Woodland Police Department officers were dispatched on Jan. 24, 2009, to the UC Davis Medical Center regarding the 14-year old rape victim who had been at a party where Sanchez and others had consumed alcohol and marijuana. Sanchez was 16 at the time.
“Later in the evening, Sanchez was driving the victim home and he stopped the car in the middle of the street and told her he was going to rape her, using explicit language,” the DA’s Office said in a news release.
