SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- A man who spent months in jail awaiting trial on an assault charge was released after it was determined he was defending himself from sexual assault, the San Francisco Public Defender's Office said Thursday. Gregory Bolds had been held in jail for five months on a single charge of felony assault from an incident in May of this year.At the time of his arrest, Bolds told police he was fending off a sexual assault, but they arrested him anyway.

Short-handed Broncos try to snap 16-game skid to Chiefs and hand Mahomes 1st road loss in AFC West

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 06:14:40 GMT

DENVER (AP) — If the Denver Broncos finally figure out how to beat Patrick Mahomes and end their 16-game losing streak to the Kansas City Chiefs, don’t expect Sean Payton to be the life of the party.He was suprisingly surly after the Broncos held off the Green Bay Packers 19-17 last weekend for his first home win and snapped a streak in which they’d lost an NFL record 10 consecutive games when leading at halftime.Three of those blown leads came this season under Payton, who took exception when asked about it during an oddly combative postgame news conference.Mistakenly thinking a reporter said “your team” when he actually said “this team,” Payton retorted, “MY team hasn’t lost 10 straight,” then admonished the reporter to rephrase his question accordingly. Payton dismissed the redirected question about the Broncos “getting over the hump.”“It wasn’t OUR hump — it wasn’t OUR hump,” retorted Payton. “I’m saying that respectfully — it wasn’t our...

Police in Texas could arrest migrants under a bill that is moving closer to approval by the governor

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 06:14:40 GMT

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas is closer to giving police broad new authority to arrest migrants and order them to leave the U.S. under a bill the state House advanced Thursday, putting Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on the path toward a potential new confrontation with the Biden administration over immigration. Tempers flared over the proposal in the Texas Capitol, where Hispanic Democratic lawmakers led hours of emotional protests over issues of race and the legality of the plan before House Republicans passed the bill on a party-line vote before sunrise.A similar proposal has already cleared the Texas Senate, meaning Republicans must now agree on a version before sending it to Abbott’s desk. “Our cries for help in the enforcement of existing federal immigration laws have been ignored by President Biden. We have had enough,” said Republican state Rep. David Spiller, author of the House bill. Two years into Texas pushing the boundaries of immigration enforcement — busing migra...

New York taxpayers will cover costs of governor’s trip to wartime Israel

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 06:14:40 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office on Thursday announced taxpayers will cover the costs of her recent visit to wartime Israel, reversing course after a nonprofit was supposed to pick up the tab but has yet to receive clearance from a state ethics panel. The Democratic governor and a handful of staff and state police were in Israel last week, touring the country and meeting with officials and families displaced by the conflict. Hochul had sidestepped multiple questions on who funded the trip, with her office saying only that a nonprofit group pledged to pay and that an ethics panel was reviewing the arrangement. On Thursday, Hochul spokesperson Avi Small said the state will instead pay for the trip because the ethics board has not yet made a formal determination on the nonprofit group. He said the trip was initially going to be reimbursed by the UJA-Federation, a nonprofit that has previously paid for elected officials to travel to Israel. The cost of the v...
