both the high street and montclair pharmacies this afternoon. when they tried to pull the car over, this is what happened. >> he was trying to turn left but instead at the second arrow, he started sliding and got to this gravel and lost control and jumped the curb. jumped up and hit the pole here. >> he jumped out of the vehicle and ran into the yard. >> that's where police found him. they also found bottles of medicine in his car, medication taken from at least one of the pharmacies that had been robbed. while police gathered evidence, a sexual assault investigator also arrived on the scene. earlier, a woman was sexually assaulted during a home invasion robbery on wilton avenue in the oakland hills. >> we look at suspects involved in different crimes because of information that we do receive. so i don't know that for sure but it's a possibility. >> the attack happened at around 3:00 a.m. while the woman's husband and two children were in the house. there have been several burglaries in the neighborhood recently. this home owner didn't want to

be identified. >> we're still oakland and what goes on just a mile down the road still affects us. and for people to think that we're living in the bubble is probably not right. we're still concerned citizens. >> abc 7 has learned oakland police will ask the sexual assault victim to take part in either a photo or in-person line-up of the robbery suspect. in oakland, lisa amin gulezian, abc 7 news. >> police agencies statewide are cracking down on drunk drivers and enforcing the seat belt law with the click it or ticket campaign. in novato last night one dui checkpoint had significance for everyone who knew a little girl killed by a repeat offender. abc 7's tomas ramon explains. >> marin county police caught this man with an open container in his car, no license and no insurance according to police. he was caught in this marin county dui checkpoint. officers set up this checkpoint in memory of 9-year-old melody osheroff. it was two years ago that a

motorist under the influence rammed into father and daughter here on san marin drive in novato. aaron osheroff says he has the memories fixed in his mind and heart. >> we were in the crosswalk and mowed down by a drunk driver. >> osheroff said his daughter was murdered by edward schaefer who at the time had been convicted of multiple dui's. he lost a leg in the collision. he said every step is the reminder of his loss. >> i can forget about it, you know, sometimes. walking is not easy and doesn't come naturally. my physical injuries are with me and a daily reminder. >> marin county officers asked for osheroff's permission to use melody's name and picture for the checkpoint. >> this checkpoint we're having in novato is in honor of melody and her life. and to bring awareness and education and also to deter drunk driving in novato and in marin county. >> dozens of cars lined up on san marin drive for the checkpoint. licenses are checked, drivers are asked if they've been drinking.

those like this family who had an unlicensed driver at the wheel was taken out of the car and their vehicle was towed away. they hope checkpoints like this can help save the life of another child. he and his wife are trying to get on with their lives. >> my wife and i had a baby six months ago, a boy and, you know, he's brought a lot of love and made us a family of four again. it doesn't bring melody back. we try to rebuild our family and rebuild our lives. >> the checkpoint here in marin county kicks off checkpoints across the state in preparation for a long memorial day weekend. >> the state assembly has passed a bill that would set guidelines for dui checkpoints. supporters say too many checkpoints are being used to impound cars of illegal immigrants and up licensed drivers. new law would require that they do checkpoints where drunk driving is a problem. and also prohibits police from

impounding cars if a licensed driver can be found to come and get the vehicle. many americans will hit the road this memorial day weekend but high prices at the pump will keep many others close to home. across the u.s., drivers pay an average of $3.81 for a gallon of regular unleaded gas. here in the bay area, we pay some of the nation's highest prices. $4.06 in oakland and in san jose $4.17. in san francisco, i've seen some prices under $4 a gallon lately. triple a expects many people to travel this weekend. they might stay with relatives or friends instead at a hotel. they may take day trips instead of overnight vacations. >> the economy at large has to be factored into all those considerations because a family budget is not just about gas prices. it's about what other costs they have going on. >> to put things in perspective, american households spent an average of $369 last month on gas. two years ago, they spent just

$201. families now spend more filling up than they spend on cars, clothes or recreation according to triple a. five seniors missed their senior prom last night in santa cruz county after administrators accused them of being white supremacists. symbols of racism have surfaced in the last few weeks. these photos show students giving a nazi salute. other incidents include hateful graffiti and swastikas appearing around the campus. administrators took action when five seniors wore white t-shirts for thinks class picture. that violated the school's anti-gang attire policy. >> we don't want students to identify with any particular hate group. it's a problem when those students are intimidating other students. >> they thought it was a joke and it kind of got really out of hand and they didn't really realize like, how it offended people. and they should have known better. >> the school superintendent fears a white supremacist group

from off campus might have tried to recruit the students. a teacher is charged with keeping explosives in her classroom. and helping kids inhale a dangerous chemical. they accuse the 34-year-old of making nitroglyceride while students were present. a bomb squad and hazardous materials team removed the dangerous chemical from her classroom at livingston high school on thursday. explosives technicians detonated the material behind the campus after 1100 students were evacuated. police first arrested her on child endangerment charges on monday after police say she helped three students get high by sniffing chloroform. she remains in custody. hackers have broken into the networks of america's biggest defense contractor lockheed martin. a spokesman for lockheed wouldn't discuss the threat but a source says the hackers were able to get through security systems by creating electronic keys similar to this one made by rsa security. it's not clear what data, if any was stolen.

but lockheed and other military contractors store sensitive data on future weapons systems and military technology currently used in battle in iraq and afghanistan. coming up next, the delays you're likely to encounter this memorial day weekend if your travels take you across the bay. and the great skiing conditions in the sierra during what's supposed to be the unofficial start of summer.

the clouds will begin to increase and then we'll see not only the cooler air but a chance of showers throughout the afternoon as the area of low pressure pushes to the east of us so once it does that, you notice the moisture headed our way into northern california and then we talked about the snow in the sierra nevada. we're talking slushy snow at 50 and 80 but then we're talking accumulating snow at about 6,000 feet so at lake level, the snow is going to be coming down with temperatures in the mid 40's this afternoon. lowering tonight and we'll be looking at highs just in the low 40's tomorrow. so really, a little strange. this is true. but not unheard of for such a chilly may. as we look at our highs today in the south bay, look for more clouds around with 65 in sunn a sunnyvale. a chance of showers throughout the afternoon. temperatures here as much as, yeah, 10 degrees below the average. and 59 downtown.

>> the idea being save your money and it will grow. >> it was exciting to be in the bank and feel like, oh, i have my own money to put in the account. >> the kids bought their piggy banks and opened passbook accounts at this bank of america branch back in 2007. >> the first time i deposited my money, i only had $2. >> i think that was money gleaned from a lemonade sale. cookie stand thing. i got money from my godmother for my birthday or christmas. >> their mom told them if they kept their money in the bank, it would grow and grow. however, in january, the children went to the bank to deposit christmas checks from grandma and banking reality hit. >> basically, my account was completely gone. >> i was losing money, not gaining money. >> my bank account was gone. and it wasn't there anymore. and so i didn't have any money. >> instead of growing, their money had been steadily shrinking. the bank told leslie the accounts didn't even exist anymore. >> i said that was impossible.

of course, they existed. the kids had never even so much as taken out a single deposit. >> it turns out bank fees had kicked in after one year. and slowly drained the accounts at the rate of $3 per month per child in 2008 increasing to $5 per month in 2009. j.j.'s $16 account disappeared the quickest. kate's $74 was depleted by 2010. >> that was kind of shocking for me because i always heard things about banks but it was the first time that i had actually experienced that. >> and banks should do the opposite and give interest. >> only claire who faithfully deposited money over the years still had $191 in her account out of $323 in deposits. leslie says the bank didn't warn her about the fees. she assumed there would be none since the children's accounts were linked to hers. >> there's more fees and they're harder to avoid.

>> that's austin prize of the california public interest research group. the nonprofit is now calling for new laws requiring banks to explain all fees clearly to its customers. currently, banks must inform only those who ask. >> i'm sure they wouldn't have chosen the savings account that depleted her child's savings instead of them growing. >> 7 on your side asked bank of america about the kids' money. the bank said bank of america does provide ways to avoid fees for children's savings accounts. unfortunately, we cannot verify what was communicated four years ago. that helped determine the type of accounts the customer opened for her children. it is the responsibility of the customer to regularly review bank statements to keep on top of account activity. however, after we got involved, bank of america did restore the children's money. $310 in all. and it gave each child $50 to help rebuild their savings. we appreciate bank of america restoring the children's money.

they didn't have to do that. as for the kids, they've learned a valuable lesson. read your statements! i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >> coming up next, another first from the founder of the grateful dead. how they're making a very lively sound right here in the bay area.

creating a piece of music. so he's giving me this demo and who shows up but the fellow musician sammy hagar, red rocker. >> the microphones take what they hear in the room and put it through software and put it back out. >> the results are astonishing. >> can it be better than this? >> no. >> there will be more shows that will be posted on the web site. >> what can you do to make this better? >> in six months, this will be old hat. >> the performances will be pay-per-view, he embraces the concept and he's touring this summer. >> the challenge is, as always, what are you going to do with it? >> looks like he found an answer. in marin county, don sanchez, abc 7 news. >> now, we have more information on the schedule for future live broadcasts at abc7news.com under see it on tv.
