a stolen plane crashed on a beach, but the pilot was not inside. now, at five, the investigation into what happened in half moon bay and how police were able to track down the suspect and president biden fiercely pushing back on statements made in a new report by federal investigators. >> what it claims about the president's mental health. >> supreme court justices appear to be skeptical when it comes to colorado's attempt to keep donald trump off the ballot. the decision, expected in the coming weeks. plus running for what? >> like i ain't understand that y'all not lying. >> it did go off for a little bit. um, i just kind of closed

the door in my bathroom and sat there until it turned off. >> first, the practice field and now this. >> the drama continues in las vegas for the 40 niners. the hotel high jinks that isn't sitting right with a lot of the players. this is beginning to feel like hazing, leading up to a big game. >> what is happening here? what is happening? >> well, it's so funny because i've heard larry talk about the media hotel and how, you know, lights were off and water wasn't working with the players to wow, wow, can't wait to hear all about that. >> tough going around there. all right, well, how about us? >> lights are on, lights are on. >> we're warming up. it's a little chilly out there this morning. here's a look at our frost advisory for more of the region compared to yesterday. this lasting until about 9 a.m. this morning. it's for most of the north bay, the inland east bay, the santa clara valley where we do have temperatures this morning well into the 30s. that means frost could have a appeared on some of your plants, even your car. this morning we're taking a look at

temperatures at. you can see clearly it is chilly out there right now 37 in concord. we're at 40 in fremont. we're down to 36, though in santa rosa, 40 in san rafael, 45. that current temperature in the city. so we take a look at the planner today. we are dry today. it's a mix of sun and clouds throughout the afternoon. temperatures a little bit warmer than yesterday , but we'll warm ourselves up even more so as we head into the weekend. the weekend looking fantastic. we'll show you that in eight minutes. let's check in with gloria and see how traffic is doing this morning. yeah jerry, you're right about it being chilly this morning, so maybe give yourself an extra minute or so just to warm up that car today. >> but you know what? right now it's looking pretty good out there on the bay area roads. you can see a lot of green, which is what we like to see. not too many slowdowns at this time. of course it is friday, so we expect a lighter commute today as a lot of people work from home these days. here's a live look outside at our walnut creek camera and traffic is moving nicely there. amanda. all right. >> thanks so much, gloria. now, how did a small plane end up on

a bay area beach? that's what authorities are trying to figure out. they say it was stolen from the palo alto airport yesterday before landing near poplar beach in half moon bay. at last check, the small plane was still there. let's go live to abc seven news reporter ryan curry and ryan crews are now trying to figure out how to remove the stolen plane from the beach. >> yeah. amanda. good morning. it's actually unclear to see really what is going on with the plane because the beach is closed and we can't get anywhere near it this early morning hour, so we're going to have to wait to see later on to see if the plane is still there and kind of what efforts are going on from the crew standpoint to get it removed from the beach, which is just a bizarre situation. but yes, so many questions about what led up to this incident. san mateo sheriff's office say a man stole this plane from palo alto airport and took it for a joyride. they don't know why he decided to land it on the beach. the sheriff's office says they got the call around five last night of a plane that had landed on the beach. dispatch audio says the pilot left on foot, and

a witness says they were able to help officers track them down. and they say they heard the plane flying low towards the ground. >> the first buzz was so fast it was a normal speed and it flew right over my head like 20ft over my head. >> i've been doing this for almost 20 years and this is a first for me. god, just such a bizarre situation. >> authorities arrested a 50 year old man from miami, florida. he has been booked into jail right now and we're still waiting for an update about the efforts to remove that plane. but yes, a bizarre situation. luckily, nobody else got hurt from this incident for now. reporting live in half moon bay, ryan curry abc seven news a bizarre situation indeed. >> thank you ryan starting next week, alameda county will get some help prosecuting suspects in violent crimes. we first told you about this story yesterday on abc seven mornings. governor newsom and state attorney general rob bonta are sending attorneys to help with criminal prosecutions. their focus will be on violent crimes, fentanyl

dealing and property crimes, things like retail theft and auto burglary. >> see, that's what we do when there are when the evidence and the data show what exists here in oakland, that there are spikes in crime, uh- much higher than other levels in the state of california. so we need to be responsive to it. we need to hold people accountable. accountable. we need to work together to deliver the results that the people of oakland and the east bay deserve, and they deserve their leaders working together and we're delivering that. meanwhile of course, we've been telling you about the push to recall alameda county district attorney pamela price. >> well, dia price says she accepts the extra help from the state, calling it consistent with the plan to bring more chp officers into the county. abc seven news insider phil matier shares his take. >> it's meant as a smart move in that, okay, let's say he says, i'm bringing in prosecutors to help out, whether it's for organized crime or very serious crimes or something like that. in other words, nothing that sort of violates the progressive

ideal of we don't want to just lock up everybody, but we're going to go after, as they like to say, the bad actors. uh, so it's good politics. on the governor's part. and it also makes a statement to the rest of the country that when asked, he says, yes, i am doing this. i am making these moves. >> this this shift is similar to a move governor newsom made last april when he announced a partnership to combat fentanyl trafficking in san francisco. chp officers started patrolling the tenderloin and the south of market neighborhoods. abc seven news tracked the numbers and found just in the first three months, officers seized 103 kilos of narcotics, nearly half of that being fentanyl. more than 300 suspected drug dealers were arrested. this morning. >> president biden is defending his handling of classified information and his memory after the special counsel report found he willfully retained and shared some classified documents. and gloria, the report found no criminal charges are warranted. but it also highlighted his age and his mental capacity.

>> that's right, amanda, special counsel robert herr released a report after his investigation into president biden's handling of classified documents. now in the report, herr, who was appointed by former president trump, wrote that his assessment of mr. biden's mental acuity and his power of recall was hazy, fuzzy, faulty and having significant limitations. the report suggests that the documents could have been brought to his former office in dc and at his home in delaware by mr. hirsch said the evidence does not establish mr. biden's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. the president is lashing out at his assessment of his memory, especially his statement claiming he did not remember even within several years when his son beau died. >> how in the hell dare he raise that? frankly, when i was asked a question, i thought to myself, wasn't any of their business. >> former president trump called this report selective prosecution action since he is facing criminal charges over his mishandling of classified

documents at mar a lago. now, in contrast to president biden, who cooperated with the investigation, he says trump not only refused to return the documents for many months, but he also obstructed justice by enlisting others to destroy evidence and then lie about it. julian. >> okay. thank you. gloria. supreme court justices appear skeptical about banning donald trump from primary ballots during an election year. yesterday yesterday, they heard oral arguments in the case over colorado's decision to remove trump under the 14th amendment's interaction clause. now, the justices question if a state has the authority to make such a decision. >> i think that the question that you have to confront is why a single state should decide who gets to be president of the united states. it just doesn't seem like a state call. >> judges also questioned whether those who framed the 14th amendment intended to give states more power after the civil war. it prohibits an officer of the u.s. from holding office if they've taken the oath

to the u.s, then engaged in insurrection. trump's lawyers drew a distinction, arguing the amendment only applies to appointed officials and not elected presidents. the attorney for colorado disagrees. >> by engaging in insurrection against the constitution, president trump disqualified himself from public office. >> it's not clear when the high court will rule on this case. colorado's primary is set for march the 5th, 508 this morning. >> we'll take you outside the exploratorium camera showing you it's not totally clear out there this morning. we do have of partly cloudy skies to deal with as we take a look at temperatures right now, though, it is chilly. we have 30 again in our coldest spots this morning. we're at 33 in danville, 38 right now in livermore, 37 in concord. as we head towards the north bay, we have those temperatures in the mid 30. so frost advisories are up. you may find some frost on your windshield again this morning. it's just chilly out there. we'll have periods of sun

throughout the day. sun and clouds this morning giving way to brighter skies this afternoon. it's a nice looking day. temperatures getting closer to average for this time of the year. highs today will get you into the 50s. a little bit warmer than yesterday, but still a few degrees below where we should be for this time of the year. now, looking at the three day forecast tomorrow, absolutely beautiful. lots of sunshine. we'll get you into the 60s in our warmest spots, and we're looking nice for the big game on sunday. but rain is on the seven day. julian will show you when it returns in a few minutes. >> okay, we will enjoy the dry weather while we have it though for sure. well, kobe bryant now immortalized in the city that loved him most. up next, the emotional unveiling in los angeles and the super bowl may be in las vegas, but the party will certainly be in san francisco. >> what you need to know if you're going to be in the game for the in the city, for the game. hey san francisco baby, come on. >> yeah. and our coverage in vegas continues.
