The California State Prison System, which is run by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, is once again admitting that they will be unable to meet their goals of reducing the overcrowding in the state prison system. The overcrowding has proved difficult to deal with, as recent legal filings have shown.

Modesto, CA – As Halloween 2011 approaches, Modesto county law enforcement officials are gearing up for conducting increased patrols and DUI checkpoints throughout the holiday weekend.

As part of this effort, the Modesto Police Department has confirmed that they will conduct a sobriety checkpoint this Friday, October 28 and Saturday, October 29.

According to, Modesto police Lt. Scott Blom, “There isn’t a Halloween costume clever enough to hide an impaired driver who has made the poor decision to get behind the wheel.” Bloom goes on to say, ““Whether you’ve had one too many or way too many, it is just not worth the risk. Remember, Buzzed Driving is Drunk Driving.”

If you’re out celebrating, be sure to appoint a designated driver and travel safely. Happy Halloween from All-Pro!

The Los Angeles Police Department has transferred the Bryan Stow Dodger Stadium beating investigation from their division detectives to their elite Robert Homicide Division (RHD), who handles more high-profile cases.

Giovanni Ramierz was arrested as a suspect in the case over two weeks ago; he has yet to be charged with connection to the beating. Prosecutors are in need of more evidence before charging Ramirez. Ramirez even under went a polygraph test, but those results have not been released.
