officers agreed. >> yeah. i mean, what do you think it is going to do? just medical only. and we do a report and. yeah. anyway, yeah, there's nothing criminal here, right? 148 no, he's like not i don't think he's competent to commit a crime, but minutes later alice was given a different story as of now, my plan is to issue him a citation for battery on a police officer, as opposed to taking the jail. >> but, i mean, he is not coincidence. i mean, why is this citation being in lieu of taking him to jail? >> now, the couple's attorneys accusing police of a cover up. >> so they accused him of violence towards his wife, which never happened. they accused him of resisting arrest, which didn't happen because you have to have a particular mental state in order to even engage in that. >> in a statement, the central marin police authority said in part the authority will vigorously defend itself against this meritless and factually inaccurate litigation, which has

not even been served upon the authority as of yet. according to his attorneys, bruce had to get shoulder surgery after the incident. he also had an injured elbow, nerve damage in his wrist, and facial scarring. the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages from the central marin police authority in the newsroom. luz pena abc seven news. >> one we're at least nine people are dead following the most powerful earthquake to hit the country in 25 years. more than a thousand people are injured. the quake measured 7.4 magnitude. and when centers centered about 100 miles from the capital of taipei, buildings collapsed and numerous roads were damaged or blocked by falling debris. dozens of workers are stranded at two rock quarries but are said to be safe. abc seven news reporter tim johns joins us live from san francisco international airport. he spoke to people heading to taiwan as well as those helping with the relief effort. tim

from our tower cameras and you will notice there's a lot more cloud cover. it is windier. it is cooler. there's a dry front that's coming into the bay area. it's going to be more cloud cover for us and gusty winds tonight. but it is producing some thunderstorms in the northern portion of our state. as you will notice behind it, we have a cold upper level low that is going to move in, bring the instability. it's a level one storm. and here's a look at what you can expect early tomorrow morning. some spotty showers by 8 a.m. you're looking at light to moderate rain. some snow over the higher terrain at 10 a.m. mount hamilton likely to see the snow and the snow continues over the higher elevations. santa cruz mountains up in the northern part of our viewing area. here's a look at the projections. so be ready for winter like driving conditions if you go across 17. also in parts of lake and mendocino counties, that level one storm for tomorrow and friday. cold showers, breezy snow over our highest peaks. chance of thunder and hail. now this could be the coldest air of the season so far

, and we may be talking about record low maximum temperatures. a full look at the forecast. i'll let you know exactly how long this cold storm is sticking around when i come back. >> dan okay, sandhya, thanks a lot. well, it's official, almost. san francisco supervisor aaron peskin tells abc seven news that he's just days away from launching an official campaign for mayor. peskin has been critical of mayor london breeds tough approach on homelessness and people with mental health issues. >> i want to repudiate the politics of blaming other people . we've blamed the judges. we've blamed, you know, the nonprofits . uh. let's start being accountable. >> peskin has been supervisor on and off for 24 years. he's currently board president. he's also considered a leading progressive candidate for mayor. and there were some really very pointed reaction today from the mayor's office to word that peskin will run against her. >> yeah, we get the low down on that now. and what this means for the race from abc seven news

insider phil matier and phil mayor, london breed spokesperson released a response to reports that peskin will run against her. we want to read the entire statement because it's a bit spicy. okay, so here we go. quote aaron peskin is synonymous with intimidation, obstruction and dysfunction. literally the triple crown of moving san francisco backwards. >> he goes on. he is the person most responsible for creating a city of haves and have nots. by limiting the amount of housing that gets built and freezing out young people from owning a home. he's also a hypocrite. he masquerades as a progressive while owning hundreds of thousands of dollars in amazon, cvs and bank of america stock and owning millions of dollars of property across town. and it continues. >> if you could go into a laboratory and construct an individual designed to single handedly destroy all progress in san francisco, he would be it. he's the terminator. aaron peskin occupying the mayor's office would mean hasta la vista, baby. for our local economy, our housing, and our city's future. wow yeah. that's

intense. >> i think it's safe to say that mayor breed is not happy about this announcement. what are you hearing from city hall? phil >> come on, mayor breed, what do you really think exactly what i'm hearing from city hall is that this is the start of the mayor's race. as we have covered many times before past mayoral races in san francisco. there's always been politics. there's always been policy, but there's also been an entertainment factor to it, you know, personality, if you want to call it that. in this case, she calls aaron peskin the terminator. he's been the thorn in the side of mayors going back all the way to willie brown. he is. mr. no. in san francisco city hall, but he is also mr. known because he knows how things are done. she calls him the terminator. she should maybe pick darth vader, because the last time i looked the terminator is something that arnold schwarzenegger rode into the governor's mansion as being identified with, but it does signal that this is going to be a personality driven race. we have other candidates in the

race, so it's time for san francisco. the gloves. the white gloves are coming off and the boxing gloves are coming on, and it is going to be that kind of year going forward. >> candidates with this rhetoric, they're going to be the focus. >> were they ever political allies though? >> no, they've never been political allies. they aaron peskin, as president of the board of supervisors and the mayor have been sort of political colleagues. they've agreed on things, but just as equally disagreed. and aaron peskin has been on that, that 35% of san francisco that necessarily is not in favor of the strong law and order stance that mayor breed and the other candidates seem to be taking. at least two of the other candidates, daniel lurie and former interim mayor mark farrell. so he is that progressive side. is it enough votes to make a difference remains to be seen, but what we're seeing here is that definitely the race is on or the match is on match. >> it's a cage match. >> given the mayor's statement, this is really strong today. what how is peskin going to

impact the race besides just throwing gasoline on this thing? >> okay. what it does is it gives the progressives or the left a candidate, a stronger candidate than they've had. it's going to broaden the issues. it's not going to be just a referendum on whether mayor breed is doing a good job, good enough job. that's what the race has been up till now. now it's going to be more about as much about the direction of the city going forward. what do you want to do with the downtown? what do you want to do with housing? high rises, possibly in the neighborhoods? what do you want to do about public safety? it's going to be more than just a referendum on london breed, and she's going to use it that way quickly. >> has peskin said anything about his announcement being leaked? >> yeah, leaked. hmm'hmm you think it's just something out of the blue that no. come on. he set it up like this. it's the rollout, right? right leaked. no. sprayed. how's that? that's a good one. >> all right. it's gonna be interesting. >> all right. thank you. phil all right. >> as we continue here, one bay area city is trying a new tactic

to crack down on sideshows, and they used it this past weekend. the question is, did it work? >> and if you build it, they will come. a look at the work underway at the future home of oakland's minor league baseball teams and an amazing story. >> she went from unhoused to venture capitalist. we'll have the inspiring story of a bay area woman. stay with stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya. it's not another drop.

us of drones. it's all part of the recent effort to crack down on a spike in sideshows throughout the city. abc seven news reporter anser hassan has the story.

>> if the antioch police didn't catch all the drivers from sunday's sideshow, the mayor says their drones will. >> the drone technology captures license plate information, captures people's faces at their cameras are very good, but we usually find them and then we go and tow their impound their car and cite them. >> mayor lamar hernandez thorpe says antioch has had drone technology for the past three years, but last year's texting scandal decimated the police department. that led to an increase in sideshows because there were fewer officers to respond. at sunday morning, sideshow. the mayor says police were able to shut it all down within 30 minutes, he says that's because antioch has started rebuilding its police force. >> we've hired more officers. we have six at the academy, currently 12 that will be entering the academy in may, and we have 40 patrol officers, which is an increase of what we've had in the past. >> there are more officers to operate drones and to monitor plans for sideshows on social media. and then the cops came in groups. >> so it was really good. they

shut it down immediately. >> antioch resident sequoia thomson lives near the intersection and saw the sideshow. she supports police using drones. >> i think with the drones and the new technology, it can really help the police capture, you know, the violence and things like that that's happening. >> but the use of drones are raising privacy concerns. community organizer tanisha garrett with ace supports police using tech. her concerns are with how the data collected will be used. the laws that are on the books, i'm sure, say certain things, and we know them to sometimes go above and beyond, we want to make sure that they're doing their job, their jobs, and not letting the drones do it all for them. the mayor also has concerns, but still supports using drones. >> in this instance. we're using them to capture individuals who have broken the law, and disturb the peace. and so we're using that technology to find people and hold them accountable in antioch, anser hassan abc seven news. >> yesterday, oakland made its

pitch to the a's. today, it was sacramento's turn with the team's lease at the oakland coliseum expiring at the end of the season. the a's need to secure a home as fast as they can. major league baseball approved a move to las vegas as you know, but the earliest ballpark could be ready. there is the 2028 season. sacramento has a minor league ballpark, but it would need significant upgrades in order to host the a's. after yesterday's talks with oakland, the team put out a statement saying the two sides were far apart. in the meantime, construction is underway on a ballpark in oakland, the future home of the minor league team, the ballers. the team is spending $1.6 million to renovate raymond field. it needs a new playing surface, which is why the field is all torn up. as you can see here, they also need to install a video scoreboard as well as removable bleachers. the ballers are in the independent league and will start playing in may, with their first home game scheduled for june the 4th. >> all right, well, can't get to

thought i might wake up to someone tapping me on the shoulder saying, hey, get up and leave. thankfully, that never happened today. >> those sleepless nights feel like a distant memory for hamilton, who is wildly successful as a venture capitalist. >> arlan hamilton, arlan hamilton island hamilton arlan hamilton wants to get you to your first million dollars. >> i essentially launched backstage capital while i was homeless. that's the simplest way of saying it. >> hamilton's company backstage capital, has raised $30 million since 2015, and with that money, she's invested in 200 startups. she's providing a life changing investment to the folks that are so often overlooked. >> but what would happen if there were a venture fund where everyone who was a woman starting a company, or a black person starting a company, or latinx, etc. they all knew that they could go there and have a fair chance. could that change everything so i set out to start backstage capital and it was a

woman who made the first investment in hamilton. she said to me, i don't know what you're going to do, but i know you're going to do something really important. so i'm going to give you $50,000. she gave me $25,000 to invest in someone else to make my first major investment, and $25,000 to set up shop. >> hamilton's story has gone on to inspire countless people who've heard it. she's the author of two books, it's about time and most recently, your first million. she also has a podcast of the same name and now a live event. >> your first million live is where current and future millionaires convene. it's where we get together and we learn from each other. we network, we build and we get inspired and she does this work with her mother by her side. >> hello. >> who are you being on this trip or was an adventure was a journey with arlo, we had the

reasons, instead looking into hosting patriotic drone shows for july 4th in livermore. it's more about the safety of local residents. over 60% of the over 12,000 people who attended the event were not from livermore. livermore's police chief and the city manager issued an online statement last week explaining why they are canceling the july 4th fireworks show going forward . >> for the last year at least, it's been the only local place that has fireworks shows officially, and because of that, it became a really big safety issue. multiple hours to get out of the venue. no way for emergency vehicles to get into the venue. >> the city has yet to announce a reimagined 4th of july celebration, something they're thinking of doing as a daytime event at livermore airport. but that's raised other concerns. >> i think you're probably going to increase people using illegal fireworks at home because they want to give their kids or their family an opportunity to see

fireworks. to celebrate 4th of july, livermore was the last community in alameda county to stage fireworks. >> now that they're canceled, locals say while they're disappointed and they understand why. in livermore, i'm leslie brinkly. abc seven news. >> and we take a live look outside this wednesday evening. we are in for some changes in the weather. >> we are. meteorologist sanjay patel is tracking more rain. the accuweather foreca this van ju. i thought i was dead. after the accident, i was in a lot of pain and i decided that i needed to. i called jacoby & meyers they had their own dream team. they took care of me like a . i would recommend you call jacoby & meyers they really went to bat for me.

good evening. the warriors have won a season high five in a row at just the right time. coming down the stretch with only seven to play. they have a three game lead over the rockets, whom they play tomorrow for the 10th and final play in spot. another white knuckle special against dallas last night at chase. draymond green he came up with the block of the year for the warriors. 90s left. draymond helps and recovers to reject daniel gafford. dubs ball with a six point lead. you think he was a little bit fired up. yeah

andrew wiggins another strong game. i mean if he played like this all season they probably have a lot more wins 23 points. he was the only warrior over 20 and he was guarding luka doncic on the defensive end very well. chris paul came off the bench for 14 points, settling things down. what looked like disaster was looming late in possessions. cp three says he's not watching the standings too much at this point, because the only thing that really matters is you got to keep winning. try to worry about what are we doing. >> it's the only thing you can control. he ain't gone. ain't nothing gonna happen in the standings unless you win. you know, only bad things going to happen when you lose. >> these games are good for us because, you know, we're we're right on the edge. and we have to win almost every game and forces us to be sharp. >> absolutely. speaking of sharp , more honors for the logo, espn reporting that former warriors consultant jerry west will be going into the naismith hall of fame for a record third time, this time for his work as a contributor. and that covers his

six years with the warriors, as well as stints as gm for the lakers, grizzlies and consultancy. currently with the clippers, west is already in the hall as a player, and with the 1960 gold medal winning olympic team. caitlin clark, the talk of college basketball and the prices for the final fours this weekend really reflect that. apparently, the secondary market tickets for the women's final four in cleveland, featuring clark and the iowa hawkeyes are going for twice as much as the men's final four tickets. average price for a woman's ticket is over $2,300. they're playing in a smaller arena. the guys are playing in a football stadium, the men's games in phoenix going for about a grand. all right, the vagabond days may soon be announcing that they're going to move to sacramento after this season. the view from sutter health park from drone view seven there. the a's would play there for two years while they build a stadium in las vegas. if they can ever build anything, anywhere, our casey pratt reports the a's have already told their employees that sacramento is close to a done deal, and there may be layoffs locally. as a result, the a's held a negotiating

session with oakland city officials yesterday, but not much came out of that. hey, plenty of good seats still available for the a's against the red sox. nice lei. aloha spirit. their former giant ross stripling went seven innings, helps himself out on the comebacker. allowed just one run on a sac fly but that one run for boston held up. the a's got three hits in the fifth inning and somehow didn't score a run, which is hard to do. zack eloff double play ball right there to end the threat. a long year already for mark kotsay in the dugout. bottom nine two out tying run a third winning run at first. ryan noto the a's get shot out for the third time in seven games, and they're one and six on the opening homestand and near disaster in milwaukee. during the sausage race, byron buxton of the twins didn't look. you see him circling, look out as he was coming out of the dugout. almost got clobbered by the bratwurst. my producer is forcing me to say buxton almost got the worst of it. the

bratwurst was in last place near the finish, so the near collision didn't affect the integrity of the race, which was won by italian sausage. if that's where you had your money. abc seven sports, sponsored by your northern california honda dealer. i don't know why that makes me laugh every time. the funniest two times a season, you get a player that's, you know, i'm not paying attention. oh look out! you almost got run over. >> that's a crack up. yeah. thanks good stuff. >> all right. tonight on abc seven, i ate the conners, then not dead yet. then an all new abbott elementary in $100,000 pyramid. >> and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel. larry. bill, all of

yesterday's game was truly one for the ages as amy schneider and david madden battled back and forth for the lead throughout the double jeopardy! round. amy went up by just $200 on the very last clue of the round, and that proved to be the margin of victory. they were both correct in final, but amy's big wager won the day and made her our first jit finalist. if i had to guess, i would bet we're in store for another great matchup today as we welcome back larissa, andrew, and sam. good luck. let's reveal the categories we have for you in the "jeopardy!" round. we begin with... next... we have... and finally... larissa, go. ends in a body part for $600, please. andrew. what is a cartwheel? ends in heel. that's correct. sprinkle, sprinkle, $1,000.
