beautiful. there's not a lot happening right now, but that is about to change in a big way. sandhya patel yes, heavy snow is coming to the sierra, believe it or not. >> and larry and dion, let's take a look at the winter storm warning that will be going up 4 a.m. tomorrow until 4 a.m. sunday, 1 to 2ft of snow. it's going to be higher over the highest peaks with the snow levels very low 2 to 3000ft by sunday morning, down to 1000ft, and snow rates of two inches per hour possible with those gusty winds, travel is going to be difficult to impossible. all the other big story is the surf is up from our santa cruz camera. you can see it just kind of pounding the coastline there. light level one storm moving in the direction is kicking up the surf. and as we take a look at the beach hazard statement, it's up until 10 p.m. tonight. current wave heights 5 to 15ft. watch out for large breakers. risk of sneaker waves is there. the level one system that is going to be moving in is going to bring us wet weather. as early as tomorrow morning. so tonight you're fine. temperatures later on this

evening in the 50s, dropping down to the 40s and 50s, clouds increase by 10 a.m. we've got rain in the north bay by noontime. it's crossing the central bay, and it is a level one. as i mentioned on our storm impact scale, light to moderate rain tomorrow, slick roads, breezy conditions and rough surf. we have a chill coming that is going to follow this. i'll be back with a detail on a frost advisory and the rest of your weekend timeline coming up. dion. >> all right. sandhya. thank you. >> from high waves is shutting down the popular pacifica pier. the three week closure officially starts today, giving officials time for structural assessment. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes joining us live there now with more on whom this closure will impact zach. yeah this pier is just such a huge attraction for pacifica, not just for the beautiful views you can take in here, but also because it's one of the only piers where people can fish for free. >> but of course, a big number was done here on december 28th that damaged parts of the piers, deck and concrete railing. that

was because of big waves and high tides. but now, starting today through at least january 25th, the pier is going to be closed. while the structure here is assessed. so despite the pier's closure, though, crowds have been making their way over here. and that's really because of one main draw. and that has been today's waves. we've spoken with just several people who say that while they're disappointed that the pier is closed, they're just in awe of these waves. and since they haven't been destructive so far today, they've actually been a big help for the chit chat cafe right here at the base of the pier, the owner, ginger davis. she tells me that local fishers along with neighbors and tourists who visit the pier, make up the bulk of her business. but right now, the pier closure hasn't impacted that business so far. >> the closure of the pier for assessments is going to impact us. if we don't have the draw of the waves, so short terms, she's not too worried. >> it's the long time she's concerned about, but she is hopeful that a couple of days of forecast that king tides will help her out. now again, the city says this closure is planned for at least three weeks. while they evaluate the structure out here. and there's already been some damage out here before for this damage.

this recent damage has only added to that. so the total estimated cost of repairs out here is $20 million. the city is looking at grant funding to help address that right now. live in pacifica. zach fuentes abc seven news. all right zach thank you. >> the oakland police department says a memorial honoring fallen officer tuan lei will be held next wednesday at three crosses church in castro valley. this morning, community members gathered in oakland's chinatown to pay their respects. >> if you are up for the began with the traditional buddhist prayer hymns and a bell ringing ceremony. >> it was organized by the chinatown chamber of commerce. carl chan, the president of the chamber foundation, says it is important to gather in person to remember lei. >> we thought it would be a best way for many. you know, folks, they they couldn't do it online and they want to send the, you know, the messages and the condolence, uh, to the family. so which is very important for

many of us. wednesday service in castro valley is expected to draw law enforcement from across the nation back in september, oakland mayor shang tao said she would declare a state of emergency by the end of the year if the city's police commission failed to send her a list of finalists for a new police chief. >> well, now, a coalition of community groups is demanding that the mayor follow through. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has the latest, including the first steps toward a recall for the embattled mayor. and we're saying to mayor tao on your word and declare a state of emergency. >> for the past few weeks, community groups have been rallying against oakland city leadership and alameda county district attorney pamela price, demanding more be done to address public safety. >> the gun charges are being dismissed, and my husband's case and they have, as of today, virginia nishida says last week's shooting death of oakland police officer tuan lei reminds her of the death of her husband, former bay area police officer kevin ishida. >> he was killed while guarding

a local tv news crew. she wants da price to charge the suspects in kevin's murder case. with the full extent of the law. >> the gun charges are being dismissed in his case, so they will be eligible to get parole. >> meanwhile, oakland city council member noel gallo is joining them, demanding oakland mayor shengtao to declare a state of emergency. >> we know who some of the criminals on the street are. we're not prosecuting them. we're not arresting them. we need to declare an emergency to get assistance from the sheriff, from the you know, from the fbi, us marshals and the highway patrol. i think these people are afraid to say that they want the police department to step up and do more. >> and so instead, they can target the policy makers that create the laws, because that's an easier target. >> oakland city council member carol fife acknowledges the challenges the city is facing with crime operating without a police chief and a historic budget deficit, but adds that the city has implemented new measures such as grants for

small businesses and new police initiatives. >> we've had a number of academies, the police academies for the individuals who are calling for more police on the streets, everything is being implemented at this current, current time and we need time for it to show effectiveness. >> still, pressure is growing. on friday, a coalition of voters will officially begin the recall effort against oakland mayor shengtao chow in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> joining me now is abc seven news insider phil matier. there's a lot to keep track of here, but let's start with the recall effort of mayor tao. how realistic is this? how much of a threat is it to her situation? it's real. >> in the last couple of days, they've collected over 300 signatures in order to get the process going, they need 250. the next step will be to go out and collect 25,000 signatures from the city. citizens of oakland, the voters of oakland. and larry, given the mood not just in oakland, but across the bay area where people are, feel under siege by crime and both

violent crime and petty crime. whether it's burglaries to your car, burglaries to businesses, uh, it's not out of the realm that they could collect the needed signatures to put this on the ballot for november. >> so you think they'll get it? you think they'll get it? >> i think they could. 25,000 signatures isn't all that much. i mean, you go out to the farmers markets and say, how do you feel about crime and people will sign? i don't even know if they would read it. >> interesting. so regarding the declaration of a state of emergency tsay that would have to come from the mayor, or at least the request. where are we on that at this point? >> you know, that's all over the map. the mayor said initially that she was going if the police commission and her couldn't agree on a chief by the beginning of the year, she was going to declare a state of emergency and name her own police chief. there was a question about whether that was legal or not. there's a question about whether what a state of emergency entails, what it covers. noel gallo, the councilman we just heard from, is working with the city attorney as we speak to write up a state of emergency statement

and then take it to the mayor, whether that will cover and what it will cover remains to be seen, whether it's symbolic or substantive remains to be seen. but the fact of the matter is state of emergency or not, they're still understaffed at the oakland police department, the crime is still going on, and people feel under under threat. and under siege. >> so that was what i was going to ask you next. is, is there a general consensus that we need more force on the ground? we just need more bodies as publicly. >> people say, yes, we need more bodies, but these are the same people in many cases, including the mayor and some of the council members, many of them who just two years ago were saying no, what we need is to redirect police spending into other programs. now, the mayor has got off to a bad start. you know, your first impression isn't the best one, she fired the police chief within the first two weeks of her job, he was very popular. she. he was later found to the. the charges

against him weren't substantive enough to warrant dismissal. the police commission then gave his name as one of three to be hired again. so we don't have anybody in agreement on anything right now aside from all of that. >> everything's going very smoothly. let's talk about the recall effort for alameda county da, pamela price. and to be clear, these are two different recalls and two different groups that are pushing for this. it's not just one common for one group, two groups, okay. >> and the common fear is they feel that that that the consequences for criminality are not there aren't any that simple is that. and we hear that in san francisco, too. mayor london breed says there must be consequences. it's interesting to note that san francisco underwent this uh- about a year ago, with the recall of then progressive district attorney chesa boudin, where people said, enough is enough. we want to change it. now it's being seen in the east bay now. i also noticed that pamela price, the district attorney, is throwing the book at those accused of

policing of shooting police officer uh- lee and she has actually visited with the family , and she's been on the phone with the police union. so she is it'll be interesting to see how she and the mayor react to these latest developments. >> all right. we'll see how it all plays out. i know you'll stay on top of it. thank you. phil hey, you can get the full picture of crime where you live with the abc seven news neighborhood safety tracker shows you a wide range of statistics on public safety over the years for san francisco, oakland and san jose. you can find it at abc seven news, dot com work to double stack shipping containers around berkeley's people's park is on schedule. >> that's according to uc officials. the university cleared the park early thursday morning. uc wants to build student housing on that land. protesters want the historic space preserved. seven arrests were made yesterday, all cited and released. police are on site today, keeping an eye on things,

every resident has a comprehensive rehabilitation and reentry plan from day one, the advisory council recommended aggressively reducing the prison's population by 30% or more, reducing the prisons population will also lead to getting rid of death row, and that could either be remodeling of death row or reconfiguring or tearing it down and replacing it with quality modular housing. >> the human rights organization ella baker center agrees with the report, but would like the state to give those on death row options after the changes. yes with the with the caveat that some people who are on death row may want to stay at san quentin and we support people's agency and autonomy in where, um, they feel their best path towards rehabilitation lies changing. san quentin was one of governor newsom's 2023 budget priorities. it came with a $360 million

price tag that would turn the prisons 81,000 square foot building, called building 38, into an educational center, the advisory council said. they can do it for less. >> the $360 million price tag should be reduced by at least one third. we believe that for, uh, approximate. $240 million that they can still build a mini education, vocational training campus. >> cat brooks, executive director of the anti-police terror project, doesn't agree with this plan. >> there are a number of flaws, right, with the plan. the first of all, like simon quinton is a very old, very violent, very dungeon like, um, place like to transform it into rehabilitative center. um, would require literally tearing it down and building it back up from scratch. >> brooks would like to see more resources also go towards preventing incarcerations. >> there are countries all over europe where they invest in their communities right? they

invest in their people and they don't have the same problems that we have here. >> the report is also recommending to build two centers outside of san quentin as a clear pathway for people in their last year of sentence to begin transitioning into the community. luz pena abc seven news thank you. >> incarcerated survivors of abuse at the federal women's prison in dublin testified before a judge today. hearings began this week for the judge to decide whether to appoint a special master to oversee reforms at the prison, a class action lawsuit filed last august accuses correctional officers of rape and sexual abuse. the plaintiffs are demanding that the bureau of prisons make immediate changes, so there's really nobody in charge. >> there's no accountability. um, that that we really need someone independent to come in there. um, it's not a case of a few bad apples. >> hearings will continue next week. eight officers at the

prison have been charged with sexually abusing incarcerated individuals. two have pleaded guilty tonight. >> on 2020, a san franc athlete who was gunned down in texas just days before a major race. the hunt for maria wilson's murderer in 2022 went all the way to costa rica. i'm >> i'm mariah wilson. um i also go by mo. she just had this, like, amazing smile that would just pull you in and. >> uniformed cops came in and they just went right for her. this is hardcore. i've never seen that happen in santa. the police don't do stuff like that. so i knew she did something bad tonight at nine. >> three shots in the dark. and the beautiful athlete and the friends jealous girlfriend. now convicted of murder. tonight on abc seven. >> all right, moving on to the weather. if you are a fan of what skiing, snowboarding, outdoor snow sports. this might

this case i ran the guys plates. turns out he used his own car driving to various break ins, and i found his two criminal cases now underway that raise questions about how well the courts address these crimes. >> i'm so happy former nasa engineer mark rober set a trap for san francisco's car burglars 25 times over eight months, hidden cameras caught them in the act once they absconded with mark's backpack, it shot out glitter and a foul smelling spray >> push it. push it, push it. and it started a countdown that made the thieves toss the bag. ten. nine. eight. >> seven. six. >> rober even outfitted one car with bulletproof glass just for the fun of seeing their frustration. >> when a juicy piece of luggage was just sitting right in plain sight, then it was my turn to

dig a little, and then you could run the plates and do more of like, an in-depth investigation. i think the combination of that worked really well. >> i learned that several of the thieves tried to avoid detection by using stolen license plates on the cars they drove. i showed gerald iseman his stolen plate in rober's video. what do you think about seeing your plate used in a crime like this? >> well, i'm grateful that i reported it some had no plates at all, but in one case, the suspect used his own car with his own license plates and that's how i found 30 year old charbel augustine of san francisco on october 12th. >> the thursday evening he spots one of mark rober's bay cars on bay street near the embarcadero. sees traffic coming so he gets back in when it's finally clear, he emerges and strikes the back pack that rober built, sends a text that it's been stolen. the on board cameras catch augustine going through the bag. a minute

later comes the message fart spray cannon fired. you can hear the servo motor, no audible reaction from augustine, but he throws the bag out the window a little over an hour later, charbel augustine has made his way to the palace of fine arts and another of robur's bay cars from four different angles. so you see him break into the car and take the backpack. once i ran his plate and found his information, i checked san francisco superior court records . get this. after he failed to appear in a car burglary case from july, a judge issued a $35,000 bench warrant for augustine's arrest. the charges second degree burglary of vehicle and possession of burglar tools. what's meant to be a legitimate car escape tool. in that case, police say they recovered u.s, indian and euro currency from augustine's car. jewelry in a baggie, watch keys and more in his criminal

complaint, prosecutors cited three circumstances in aggravation great monetary value , violent conduct which indicates a serious danger to society, and prior convictions. but in a hearing october ninth, judge loretta giorgi described the case, quote, looks like it would be easily settle a bull. she dropped the bench warrant and allowed augustine to leave or on his own recognizance. three days later, mark robur's hidden cameras caught him breaking into those two cars that same day, court records show the plane clothes officers out of central station shot their own video of augustine smashing another car window and connected him to two more break ins, all rental cars. police had to use a spike strip to keep him from fleeing in that same car with the same license plate. we spotted augustine's latest car burglary. charges include an allegation of felony committed while on bail. you would have thought this sort of thing doesn't happen, but in fact, it

does. frank noto of the grassroots campaign stop crime sf tells me defendants released while waiting for a trial often commit other crimes and that since the start of last year, the sfpd made 468 felony arrests of suspects who had been freed from custody pending trial. >> that's just crazy. um, the judges are showing poor judgment there. they're saying this criminal is not going to commit a crime, at least not pending trial. but they're dead wrong. >> i've been attending augustine's court hearings. he has pleaded not guilty to all charges. his. when i approached him, he declined to comment. but do those designer jeans look familiar? his deputy, public defender beau diwan, also declined to be interviewed, but emailed me that augustine is loving and kind and that he takes care of his sick grandmother. she added incarceration does not solve poverty or deter auto burglaries. district attorney brooke jenkins disagrees, her office telling me that incarceration can be a deterrent

to criminals commit more crime. i'll keep track of augustine's cases as they move forward. >> you've done some incredible reporting, and it seems like you've had a lot of people that get arrested, released, arrested, released, arrested, released this cycle doesn't end, the cycle doesn't end. >> but you know, it can have an impact. i'm talking to the cops on the street who are saying that they're seeing fewer car break-ins now, markedly from from last year. and they think it's because of these renewed efforts. and they also don't mind mark rober being out there with his bait cars as well. >> yeah, that's quite effective. all right. thank you. thanks >> now, if you have a story for dan or the i-team, you can call the number on your screen 1888 40 i-team or head to abc7 news.com slash i-team. >> coming up, a dog with a very expensive appetite. and what is with those viral stanley mugs? the four fours next

earlier in the week, and we're learning more about what makes these cups so hot. here's reporter naomi yanni. >> i just absolutely had to get one of these cups. i typically don't stand in line for anything, but i had to have this cup. >> the sentiments shared across the nation as people lined up outside target stores to get their hands on the newest winter pink stanley cup, a collabo with starbucks. so what's the hype?

>> so honestly, i can't even tell you the hype because i don't have one of these cups. i'm more of a yeti girl, but i love pink and it's the shade of pink. it's the glitter. it's just it's beautiful. everything is pink. >> the stanley brand is over 100 years old and was once synonymous with construction workers and outdoorsy types. it got little traction in 2019, when the tumblers kept selling out on a site called buy guide. long story short, they were rebranded this time marketing them to women. they're limited edition status made them sought after by influencers, and in turn, by their followers. >> it's brilliant marketing. i still don't get it. lose >> i do not own a stanley cup. this is my stanley cup. a gator, a water bottle from when my husband used to play baseball in college. this is what i carry around every day. but this is our director, stanley cup. i'm going to sell it right after this hit. you're going to sell it? >> did you say you're going to sell it? no >> they go for a lot. well, you know what? we need to spray it

pink and then we can sell it. that's what it is. right >> perfect. what's crazy is even if you don't spray paint it pink, i've seen them go for over $100. because of this craze that is limited edition. you got to get it now, sandy, i don't know if there's anything in this world that makes me so desperate that i need to seek out something on the secondary market. >> i know, i know, i mean, especially when they're going for that high. dion, you have some of these as what you told me for good reason, right? yeah >> i mean, look, i need to hydrate and you know everybody's carrying it. it's a nice fashion accessory. i saw one that happened to be a color i liked. i picked it up, and, you know, maybe i could see it as an investment. see, larry, i can resell it later. so it's a smart purchase or lose. >> might sell it for you. >> okay, so i got to tell you guys something. we were talking about this earlier today. turns out that there was a woman who went viral on tiktok because her car burned down, and she had a stanley cup inside her car. and the only thing that didn't burn was the cup. and he still had ice in it. so stanley ended up

sending her more cups and bought her a car. and that's why many of these cups are now super viral. >> wow. now, now i'm going to be fighting with you guys to get one of these cups and target just out of the way, haha. >> all right, now to another story about the power of social media. after videos of people making their own versions of taco bell at home, those favorites that went viral, the company is now actually selling home meal kits. right now there are two crunch wraps and quesadillas. the kits include everything except the meat. they will be sold at walmart and online. i, i thought the whole point of going to seek out fast food was because it's fast. it's easy. it's something that you can just grab on the go. >> well, it is, but this is actually i think this is brilliant. i think so because you know, the one thing with taco bell, you could use your own meat and have a much better quality meal. i'll just put it that way. and so this gives you the opportunity to do that. and i'm sure the taco shells probably taste similar in all the all the fixings that you get. it's pretty smart. >> it is so and people also like

to do like a hands on cooking and diy, right? >> yeah. and it's quick. and i mean, i think taco bell is popular, even if many of us don't go all the time. having it at home could be very handy. >> it's about making things easier, and i think that's what they're trying to do. right? so yeah, i guess for them, will you be buying those in bulk and reselling them? no no no no. stanley cups. >> just kind of the whole blues line of merchandise. >> no no no no. but growing up i loved to eat chalupas from taco bell. oh, those were very good. all right, i know taco bell. >> uh. do you miss your old blackberry? well, now you can get the keyboard back, but on your iphone, there's a company called clix technology. they've launched its clix keyboard. so you just slide your your iphone. into the case and you start typing away. it's only available with either the lightning or the usb-c connectors. those are the new ones for iphone 14 and 15 right now. the cost of this blackberry keyboard is $140. like it seems like 1015 years

ago, blackberry was gigantic. i mean, they were everybody had blackberries. i remember seeing steph curry with, you know, blackberries. um, but but the iphone and all of the, the samsung galaxies, they've kind of left them in the dust. but you think people would be interested into this? you know, i feel like this is exactly what steve jobs didn't want. >> i actually watched his iphone announcement from 2007, and that's exactly what he was saying. he was calling the actual keyboard obsolete. he was saying, this is why we're going to have to have a touch screen and i feel like he wouldn't like this at all. >> i'm so torn on this, though, because there was something about a blackberry, the nice clicking right, the tactile feel that was satisfying and i got really good at it. but then on the other hand, you know, voice dictation, i just talk into my phone now, my voice dictation is brutal. >> i mean, you end up getting sentenced. is that nothing close to what you said gets you in trouble, i know, yeah. >> all right. yes >> your voice dictation to me. yes exactly.

>> all right. finally. now a dog in pennsylvania has some really expensive taste. he apparently feasted on $4,000 in cash. check it out. this is cecil. oh, he looks guilty. oh, he looks cute. >> cute and guilty. cecil's not a criminal. >> oh, his owner says he chowed down on an envelope of cash. just sitting on the counter. i have a question. why it was sitting on the counter. the owner was able to find most of the pieces from cecil's droppings in all, he recovered $3,500, but yes, again, so many questions. why was the cash there to begin with? >> cecil looks so cute. maybe there was a little bit of food that spilled on that envelope. okay, maybe. yeah. >> larry, you know what? i will be cecil's attorney. he did nothing wrong. he is so cute. yes oh, look at him on the couch. >> this is the famed cuteness defense we're going with here. yes all i can think of when i read this story is this guy

going to the bank and presenting these bills and just like, okay, that's like, literally like the dog ate my homework, but ate my bills. >> yes, a little bit more expensive. >> yeah. all right. that's it fo entresto is the #1 heart failure brand prescribed by cardiologists. it was proven superior at helping people stay alive and out of the hospital. don't take entresto if pregnant; it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don't take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren, or if you've had angioedema with an ace or arb. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto for heart failure. in order for small businesses to thrive, or they need to besium. smart, efficient, savvy.
