405 Fwy at Woodruff Ave. and Willow St. At 10:10 p.m., a crashed finish of a pursuit of a motorcycle going 100-plus mph resolved with the motorcyclist walking on shoulder of 405 prior to being detained by CHP. Said a witness, “that’s crazy that person even survived going over 140 miles an hour.”

5500 block of Ackerfield Ave. As a woman was moving her car from a carport at 6 p.m., her one-year-old child walked in front of the vehicle. The mother did not see her baby, resulting in the child being struck while the vehicle was in motion. The one-year-old died from injuries at a hospital.

4200 block of Atlantic Ave. At 4:03 a.m., a man and woman told authorities of being in their vehicle as an unknown suspect in another vehicle shot at them, supported by evidence of a shooting, though nobody stuck around to admit to any involvement.

1115 E Wardlow Rd. At 1:09 a.m., two men argued, deciding to fight out whatever issues prevailed, a stabbing ensued. As no one was motivated to seek out medical treatment, the same was offered, yet declined.

Willow St. and Pacific Ave. At 3:20 p.m., a vehicle ran a red light, collided with a pedestrian and crashed into a fence in that order. The pedestrian was transported to the hospital in serious but stable condition.

Beaches. At 10 p.m., beaches were closed and late-night beachgoers were ordered to leave and stay away as a Kamchatka Island 8.8 earthquake would generate a possibly 16-foot tsunami wave designed to drown them and their loved ones. By about 1 a.m., no unusual waves were noted.

300 block of Golden Ave. At 12:13 a.m., the mostly regularly scheduled just-after midnight series of shots was minutes late. The almost-punctual shooter left evidence of his early morning discharge.

2611 E. Carson St. At 7:30 p.m., a woman stole beer from a 7-Eleven, left with a male driver in a Mercedes registered in Stockton, hardly indicating an impoverished situation.

3000 block of Caspian Ave. At 5 a.m., 28-year-old Mark Lorenzo Villanueva found out what allegedly donating substantial funds to supposed ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) fighters meant in the real world: an FBI visit, arrest and a no-bail confinement. Seems that ISIS is a designated foreign terrorist organization, according to the Department of Justice. Villanueva, a permanent US resident originally from the Philippines who resides with his grandparents faces up to 20 years in federal prison for attempting to provide material support to ISIS. Villanueva sent a dozen payments totaling $1,615 to two intermediaries who accessed the money overseas in a possible sting operation.

In reference to these donations, Villanueva supposedly wrote, “It’s an honor to fight and die for our faith. It’s the best way to go to heaven. Someday soon, I’ll be joining.” Someday soon turned out to be the FBI visit during which the FBI recovered several knives and what appeared to be a bomb with ball-bearings wrapped in cellophane. Arraignment scheduled for Aug. 15 at the Roybal Federal Building in Los Angeles, acting U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli offered boilerplate about “supporting a terrorist group, whether at home or abroad, is a serious risk to our national security.”
