BELLINGHAM, Wash. A bottle of hot sauce was among weapons a suspect used in robbing a local grocery store Sunday night.
Bellingham Police Lieutenant Claudia Murphy reports a couple filled two shopping carts with over $200 dollars in merchandise and left the Sunset Safeway store without paying.
When a loss prevention officer confronted the pair the male suspect, identified as Caleb McLean, squirted him in the face and chest with sriracha sauce they had stolen.
He also threatened to “cut” him with a box knife if he interfered with their getaway.
Officers stopped McLean and his accomplice, Lisa Morrison, nearby.
Hawaii public school educators fight back against furloughs
HSTA plans legal actions to halt furloughs as some teachers worry positions will be cut for good By Chelsea Davis | December 15, 2020 at 11:16 PM HST - Updated December 15 at 11:22 PM
HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - Public school educators are fighting to block the state’s furlough plan.
Governor David Ige said it’s needed to save jobs in the long run. However, teachers say forcing them to take days off is illegal and they plan to take legal action.
“What the governor and the DOE are doing is implementing furloughs which violates our collective bargaining agreement. The state constitution of Hawaii protects protective bargaining and to implement this over the wishes of the union’s, especially HSTA, we believe is illegal,” said Hawaii State Teachers Association President Corey Rosenlee.
