booster. spring break is covering. ama: if you are unvaccinated, the mask mandate still applies for indoor public spaces. why is santa clara the exception? what is the reasoning? we asked the top public health expert for an extra nation. reporter: santa clara county has made the choice not to end the mask mandate. >> we are taking a different course. we are following the data and metrics to tell us when it is appropriate. reporter: that decision is getting mixed reaction, some in favor of it. >> i agree we should keep the mandate. i work as a case manager at a homeless shelter. i feel it is better to be safe. reporter: one business owner
6:01 pm
says the mandate will end and the decision will land on her to require customers to mask. >>, will be wearing my mask. -- i will be wearing my mask. i am getting tired, but i want to keep the community safe. reporter: today's news garnering frustration from residents from two counties, wear masks will not be required starting next week. >> we do not live far away from each other. i think it is stupid, to be honest. we live in the same state we all travel and work in different counties, so it is hypocritical. it should be treated the same. reporter: win could things change in santa clara county? the county has 1900 cases a day. they're looking for that case number to go down, along with hospitalization numbers to drop in vaccination rates to go up. >> our goal is 550 cases per day
6:02 pm
, seven-day moving average, then we hold for a week before we lift. our model suggests we make it there sometime in march. ama: biggest county in california is keeping masks on. los angeles county will not drop requirements next week, saying the decision was based on an arbitrary date. dan: wells fargo announced employees who are fully vaccinated can choose to come back to the office starting today. unofficial return to office policy begins in one month and will include hybrid options. the bank says it has 100,000 employees who never worked remotely during the pandemic. today, governor newsom signed a new bill in oakland that extends paid sick leave for coronavirus patients. workers get up to two weeks paid time for missing work because of covid, including time to recover from vaccine side effects and paid time off to take care of their loved one with covid.
6:03 pm
the bill will expire in september. ama: to stay up-to-date on the headlines and changes come go to abc7news.com/coronavirus and get your covid questions answered as well. dan: a stolen car, hit and run, a violent felon arrested, only to be rearrested after being released on suspicion of murder. the i-team is examining how covid protocols may be to blame for this. we have the story you will see only on abc 7. reporter: there is nothing more unsettling than knowing violent felons are near your home, or nearly crashed into it in this case. while we only know a handful of cases where known felons have been cited after being released, it is enough to question the common sense protocols from the san mateo county jail. >> 911 emergency services. reporter: set a war saturday, g.
6:04 pm
>> they could hear someone calling for help. >> it was in the morning? >> yes. reporter: a felon was driving around this neighborhood in a stolen call. -- stolen car. >> i thought it was hit-and-run. reporter: he was asleep when a car crashed into a fire hydrant outside his house. >> you see it there. reporter: what he didn't know at the time -- anything suspicious? >> yes, the time, the vehicle, it was stolen. reporter: investigators say that person was john walton junior. that night, he became a suspect for the murder of a 30 yield woman and a 15-year-old boy -- 30-year-old woman and 15 year old boy, who police found dead in antioch. and neighbor reported not seeing the victims for several days and cold police for a welfare check, than the bodies were discovered.
6:05 pm
officers did not know that at the time. why were you not aware of the fact he was wanted on the double homicide? >> there was nothing in the system. reporter: because the bodies were not discovered until that night. without that case, when we checked the system, we found an extensive criminal history in california, tennessee, and georgia for walton. arrest records show he was on felony probation for carjacking in one county in may last year plus three arrest related to auto theft and resisting arrest, and another felony conviction in california not to mention a bench warrant for his arrest in georgia for a felony domestic violence case against one of the victims. he is now suspected of murdering that victim. >> that is crazy. david nguyen back to the story --david nguyen back to the -- reporter: back to the story. hours later, he was released. the captain says prior to the pandemic, this would not have
6:06 pm
happened. if covid protocols were not in place, you would have booked him? >> yes, for the stolen vehicle, yes. reporter: to limit capacity, the rules changed. that brings us back to the question of why he was released in the first place. >> under covid protocols, we have been judicious train to keep the jail population to the most serious crimes possible. reporter: they say they were following the protocols established by the san mateo county sheriff's office. the sheriffs office said in an effort to minimize our correctional staff and incarcerated persons and exposure to the highly contagious omicron variant, we have asked our law enforcement partners in san mateo county to issue citations if the crime is not a crime of violence. even though several charges met the criteria of a violent felon, according to the penal code of the sheriff's office told us we have an obligation to keep the community safe. anyone brought to our jail will
6:07 pm
be booked. data obtained by the i-team, shows that's not is happening. over the past month, from january 7 to february 7, the san mateo county sheriff's office report 65 misdemeanor arrests, 46 were cited and released, only 19 were booked. of the 14 felony arrests, 10 were booked in jail, but four were cited and released at the scene. we spoke to someone working inside the sheriff's office who has concerns about the impact of the policy. this person as not to show their face and use someone else's voice. >> it started with not booking for minor offenses, but as you have seen, there have been some really serious criminals released into our communities. reporter: this is another example out of san mateo county. he was arrested for carrying a concealed weapon and loaded firearm in a car. he was cited and released instead of being booked and
6:08 pm
held. this mug shot is from a previous arrest when he was sentenced for other charges related to dui and reckless driving in 2019. while the san mateo county district attorney's office has yet to file charges in this case , the da stole us that our office policy is to charge illegal firearms charges as felonies. how long has this been happening? >> for a few weeks. reporter: staffing shortages are also having an impact, adding they r 44 deputy short. it creates a risk of releasing criminals who may reoffend. >> it is a challenge because you never know what somebody will do. reporter: thankfully, walton did not get another chance as he was arrested at the caltrans station 24 hours after this crash. the question is, how many others were released and re-offended? we have been told deputies and officers are given discretion to decide which suspects will be cited and released, but when it
6:09 pm
comes down to it, the sheriff's office is responsible for the booking. the agency highlights their commitment, but we have not received a clear answer as to why mr. walton was released, given that he was already on felony probation. dan: thanks. you can contact the i-team if you would like to see a story investigated. go to abc7news.com or pick up the phone and call following number. ama: a week ago, he saw his shadow and predicted six more weeks of window. hello? aquatic park in san francisco, clear blue skies above the water. some parts of the areas are record-setting worth. where do we see record highs? sandhya: two records, oakland downtown and rich in. -- richmond.

6:16 pm
those schools and spend them on teacher salary, the innovation students need in order to become better readers and writers. reporter: for others, the final vote does not mean the end of the battle. the teachers union will take legal action, and there is more. >> if it comes to it, prepared to ask open educators to strike to protect our schools, if necessary. reporter: but the mayor appeared on the news to say it was a hard choice, but she now welcomes the extra support families and students will get when transferring to another school. >> ensuring that the schools most likely to receive new families and educators have extra resources to ensure that that transition is smooth and that conditions are in fact approved for students -- improved for students and families. reporter: what happens to those students who have to move?
6:17 pm
their names will be put on the top of the list of any school they choose. it does not mean they will get in, but they will be given priority. dan: thanks. more to come on this. students from one high school in santa clara county walked out today in solidarity with students, parents, and teachers in oakland. 150 students marched on san antonio avenue, where they held a demonstration this afternoon. one social studies teacher says the idea started during a conversation about current events in his civics class. >> if the schools in oakland, and black and brown communities, are targeted for closure, we are asking the governor to allocate that burgett surplus to keep the schools open in our communities. -- budget surplus to keep the schools open in our communities. dan: it spread by social media and word-of-mouth. ama: let's get to the weather.
