marman. it was june 15th, almost one month ago when marman was pulled off a us airways plane for allegedly refusing to pull up his sagging pants. marman says because his hands were full of carry-on items he couldn't do as he was told. all the boarded passengers were asked to get off the plane and marman was arrested on suspicion of battery of a police officer, resisting arrest and trespassing. yesterday about 150 people rallied at san francisco city hall to show their support for the university of new mexico football player. the crowd including his mother, who no doubt will be out later, said this yesterday. >> we won't tolerate being judged by our cover. it's not okay. >> reporter: now, all along donald doyle has asked us airways to apologize to her son, so we'll see if that happens.

all along the airline said they do not have a dress code but ask passengers to dress in a manner that will not offend other passengers. d.a.'s office has decided not to file criminal charges against 20-year-old deshon marman. laura, the question remains, his mother has pleaded all along that her son's record gets cleared. we'll see if that happens as well. >> thanks so much, marla. a man accused of killing two people on fisherman's wharf will see a judge. a competency hearing scheduled for wu in a san francisco courtroom. he's accused of killing two employees of a rival story on fisherman's wharf. police say he killed the workers because their store sold similar items to his and he thought they

were taking his business. a parolee accused of several fatal shootings is on ten most wanted criminals list. list, police looking for jonathan "john john" walker. the 20-year-old joined the list after killing 19-year-old robert o'brian and injuring another man at a bay view home in january. walker is the prime suspect for two fatal shootings in vallejo. they say walker is armed and dangerous and has not left the s.(áu9f&er has several tattoos îich victim of kidnapper philip yesterday the eldorado district attorney released papers showing previous victims had also been k

christie smith live in oakland with more on the story. good morning. >> good morning to you, laura. dog lovers are saying what's wrong with a new dog park near lake merritt. of beautiful park barking and odors. we just talked with one walker who said flat out no. >> i don't think we need one, not out here? >> why? >> because basically it's going to create a mess of it's already enough with the birds. >> by comparison, san francisco

has 17 dog parks. oakland has some pretty strict no dog rules in city parks. the parks commission is expected to weigh in on a location or drop the idea all together. the commission meets at 4:30 near lake merritt at 666 bellevue. reporting live in oakland, christie smith "today in the bay." thank you, christie. students will have to pay more for college this fall. students will see another 12% tuition hike on top of a 10% hike. the trustees approved that increase yesterday. enrollment will be increased by 10,000 students stayed wide. full time student will now pay almost $5500 a year for school. immediately following the tuition hike, the cfu trustees made a controversial move. they approved a $400,000 a year salary for the new president of san diego state university. that is $100,000 more than the

previous university president made. three trustees voted against the new salary including lieutenant governor gavin newsom. governor jerry brown wrote a letter to the board saying, i fear your approach to compensation is setting a patent for public service we cannot afford. 6:09, want to check in with meteorologist christina loren. certainly misty out there. how long will we see that. >> the next few mornings at least as low pressure has taken full control of the weather pattern, really kicked in that on-shore flow. as a result this morning foggy conditions across the board no matter where you're waking up. you'll likely find mostly cloudy sky until 11:00 a.m. still looking good in san jose, 10 miles, ten miles in livermore. starting to drop, though, in san francisco and oakland. basically this isn't ground

level. this is what you need to know for your drive. hovering a little above the highway here, four miles of visible. that's pretty good in oakland. otherwise 10 miles or better in the north bay. right now looks like san francisco, oakland getting socked in. not bad yet of course mike and i watching that all morning low. 56 in san mateo, 57 in novato, 57 in napa versus 58 degrees in livermore. we don't have a lot of differentiation in terms of our low temperatures. these are our lows for the morning. 56 in san mateo, 61 in sunnyvale. the reason why, that cloud cover is serving as a blanket trapping in daytime heat yesterday, what daytime heat we did pick up. that's why we have numbers uniform this morning. traditionally a big separation between the coast and inland. 70 in napa, 60 in san francisco, take quite sometime for fog to clear. 6 in santa cruz and 71 in los

gatos. stay tuned, i'm going to let you know as soon as i know about the clearing. it's going to start to clear at 11:00 today or noon. get to that forecast coming up. mike, over to you. >> all right, christina. i'd like to jump to the live shot of the bay bridge. this has changed dramatically in the last couple of minutes. the lane between the hov and fasttrack, they have suddenly shown slowdown. a lot of times not all the toll lanes are open. we've seen that building, maybe an indication the volume is steady enough, turn metering lights on any minute. get you back out to the maps, show you an issue developing for the east bay looking towards the value. northbound 238 just off of 580, moving to the center divide. out of lanes, enough to show a little slowing over the last couple of minutes there as well. watching for potential slowing 580 and 238 which takes you to 880. a live look at 880 itself,

oakland showing low visibility. rooftop camera across from the coliseum, it is tougher to make out outlines of cars. that will be a factor. you're fine for the drive for the cars in front of you but watch that mist on the windshields. >> hopefully windshield is clean, too. >> spreading the dirt. >> that's illegal, buddy. >> i didn't do it on purpose. >> 6:12 right now, still to come on "today in the bay," san mateo d.a. is going to talk live about not filing charges against the man arrested over an argument with police over saggy pants. super obese children, should they be taken away from their parents. why one expert says yes. $800,000 paid by your taxes but he's been doing nearly nothing for years. we've uncovered incredible information about california's highest paid state worker next.

a live look outside. look at that at the golden gate bridge, can't make out the there.ther christisa in not lying when she talks about the forecast this morning. stick around. we've got more ahead. a

hi parents, it's going to be such a big school year. your kids will each take care of our class hamsters, lewis & clark. then i'll tell them the story of pluto, the sad little planet that was. i'll introduce them to some new friends, the fractions, and some cold blooded ones, the dinosaurs.

[sfx: dinosaur growl] clark! anyway, here's what they'll need: markers, scissors, crayons, pencils, folders, juice boxes, pretzel sticks, glue sticks, tape that sticks, and glitter. so much glitter.

turns out he hasn't been allowed to practice medicine in the california corrections system for the past year and a half. the "l. a. times" reporting that the doctor has essentially been on, quote, mail room duty at the high desert state prison in susanville since late 2009 while he was still being allowed to take home a fat paycheck. apparently they don't want him to practice medicine. why has he ended up in this situation? the state wants to fire him and did at one point but he was rehired on appeal. when he was reinstated, the state not only owed him his base pay of $235,000 but back pay of roughly $540,000 for the two years he wasn't working while fighting his termination. you put those two figures together and come up with three-quarters of a million dollars roughly for take-home pay in 2010. even though he's still employed as, quote, a prison doctor, the "times" reports the state won't let him practice medicine

because they don't trust his skills. for instance on two occasions he should have sent two patients to an outside hospital emergency room and didn't in another case a patient died under his car. he also has a history of mental illness. the times reports there are other prison doctors who received huge sums in back pay after fired and reinstated or put on probation. we've got this website up for you, cacs.org, a brand-new website put together by students at stanford university. basically it tracks how the state of california is spending tax dollars. do on there and search by department and see what different types of employees are making. if you want to get on that website again, cacs.org or google california common sense. >> be interesting to see how long he's had that position and who appointed him there as well. thank you very much. it's 6:17 right now. san jose-based chain of

supermarkets could be in trouble for violating workers right. former employs of pueblo parkts planning to announce legal action against the supermarket chain will they claim basic rights have been violated. pueblo has paid fines before for violating wage and hour laws. pueblo employees 3,000 workers throughout california. should parents of super obese children lose custody? that is the topic of an opinion piece in the american journal of medicine, written by an obesity expert. dr. ludwig says putting children in foster care temporarily could be more ethical than surgery. acting in the children's best interest. you're going to notice a lot of cloud cover out there, right

meteorologist christina loren. >> no one says meteorologist like you, laura garcia-cannon. you're exec right. it's so dense in spots it's creating that mist, that foggy drizzle to be more scientific. as you can see right now on the golden gate bridge we are completely socked in. this the one and only bridge socked in at this point. we're going to keep watching all morning like. mike and i will be busy. foggy conditions anticipated for the next few mornings, really thick fog at least through friday. that's because we have another area of low pressure back behind the one that's really kicked in that on-shore flow. this guy is now going to perpetuate what on-shore flow we already have for the next few days. that means much cooler than average weather continues across the bay area. take a look at how much cooler than average we were yesterday. 66 degrees in danville. normally 89. saving on pg&e bill there.

livermore, 70, average 89. as cooler in most cities across the bay. 55 in oakland. not all that cold this morning, though, so you might not need a jacket. if you're waking up in san francisco, 55 now, 60 degrees is the high. we're going to see wind later on today. there will be a wind shil factor making it feel 10 degrees cooler than the true temperatures. you're going to need that jacket today. in the south bay, though, really comfortable weather. 72 at 4:00 p.m., 73 in gilroy, 71 in los gatos. if you're looking for vitamin d, going to wait until 2:00 p.m. even inland today, really thick cloud deck. we'll continue to update you and of course that seven-day ready to go in moments. i'll send it back to you. >> thank you very much. 6:20. san jose earthquake delivers a highlight have you to see to believe. coming up next. anger this morning over a huge price hike. we'll tell you who is doing it

coming up in tech today. >> we have some issues for highway 24, for example, some calde t thotelectunn t. i'll sort that out as well as the rest of your commute coming

up. tu

welcome back, everyone. a good wednesday morning to you, taking a live look outside oakland. you know that cloud cover we've

been talking about across the bay area, going to take a while for the sun to break through. check the forecast with meteorologist christina loren right now. right now, want to talk a little traffic with mike. >> good morning. going to take a while to break through the back-up at the toll plaza. actually, doesn't break through, show you the line at the plaza. no problem for east shore freeway. look at this, have cash lanes backing up. just a couple minutes ago they turned metering lights on, now all lanes filling in. an unusual pattern a couple of minutes ago when they turned on the lights, there's the normal pattern. approaching the toll plaza, the map shows that portion of the maze shows a slowdown around the signal light there once the lights turned on. a good drive approaching this area but then the slowdown that kicked off on schedule, 10 miles an hour with spots on highway 4. look at that, 48 now coming down

through pittsburg and baypoint as far as livermore. thank you very much. we've been trying to advance to the world cup finals. at 9:00 team usa will take the field against france in the first of the semifinal matches. the winner will advance to the finals. you can join other soccer fans. adopt miss this one if you missed the weekend game. watch on big screen in civic center flaz in san francisco this morning. it's all free, including games for the kids and food trucks nearby. san jose earthquake's goalie shows he can score goals as well as stop them. quakes playing at buck shaw stadium in santa clara last night. the goalie, rookie bingham lined up for a kick. he will boot that 90 yards right into the goal. that helped them win 2-1. anger this morning over a

huge price hike for netflix customers. scott mcgrew has the details. >> good morning. my extremely informal poll say a lot of people aren't going to agree to the 60% price hike, they will make changes to their rental plan. under the price hike for current customers, one dvd out at a time with streaming jumps from $9.99 month to just under $16 a month. if you decide to get rid of dvds or get rid of streaming, do just one or the other, you can actually save money. the price will be $7.99 a month. now, if you go to streaming only, that means you could use some of the money you save to get seven movies a month from dvd machines, assuming you return them on time. some machines have new release dvds much sooner than netflix so there's an advantage there, too.

this is great news for coin star. they own red box. most of their watch it now movies are b movies. this release on netflix, "night of the comet" from 1963. i saw this in the theater with my girlfriend. the company needs to come up with billions of dollars to pay movie studios for new movies. when it first started, they were able to get all kinds of movie. now hollywood gets it and they -- >> they inch up a little. >> netflix needs the money. i think they have underestimated how upset people are going to be and how dissatisfied they are with the streaming quality of movies. they are going to see some pushback. >> maybe it will change it. thank you very much. 6:27, the debate over a proposed dog park near oakland's lake merritt. new this morning, no charges for a bay area man arrested after a scuffle with police when he refused to pull up pas.

talking to san mateo d.a. live

next. ♪call 1-800-steemer.

new this morning, brand-new developments regarding the so-called saggy pants saga. good morning, i'm marlin ark tellez. stay tuned for my live interview with the sonoma county d.a. coming up. new this morning, the city of oakland is weighing new locations for dog parks near lake merritt. sounds simple enough, but this plan has neighbors snapping at each other. coming up a live report. south bay, cloud cover across the bay area wednesday july 1th day in the bay. . and a good wednesday morning

to you. thanks so much for joining us. it's 6:30, i'm laura garcia-cannon. you may notice a little moisture in the air. want to check in with meteorologist christina loren for the forecast. >> we have a lot to go over this morning. we have this cooldown that won't quit across the bay area. i'll let you know when finally warmer days arrive. right now nice and mild out there, heading to the 70s and 60s, 20 degrees below average today. i've got that complete forecast just moments away, so don't you go anyway. >> not going anywhere quickly, right here metering lights turned off, rest of the maze is fine. the toll plaza, stack up because the metering lights turned on over 10 minutes ago. not going anywhere quickly here. oakland, interesting shot, low clouds, playing a factor in your morning commute.

clear must have to see last wills and testaments coming toward us, 880 with speeds through downtown oakland. back to you. >> thank you very much. new this morning, the case of a college student pulled off a plane after he wouldn't pull up his pants. san mateo district attorney's office confirms his office will not file charges in that case. "today in the bay's" marla tellez with the latest developments. good morning. >> good morning, laura, yeah. that is certainly the big news of the morning. the san mateo county d.a. is confirming that his office has decided not to file charges against 20-year-old deshon marman. of course he was pulled off that us airways flight back in june, june 15th, almost a month ago for refusing to allegedly pull up his sagging pants. joining me live is the d.a. himself, thank you for your time this morning. this news just came out this morning. why did your office come to this decision? >> our conclusion was after reviewing all the facts of this incident that this was a case

that we don't think belong in a courtroom and we think a jury would tell us that if we did take it in the courtroom. with the all congestion in the courts we don't need to clog up the courts with a case that's presented here. >> a statement your office released, we believe the officers on scene acted appropriately and professionally, we do not believe criminal charges are warranted. so you do believe the officers were in the right. >> i believe the police officers and sheriff's deputies out there trying to resolve this situation conducted themselves entirely appropriately. we continue to believe that. not all cases need to be in the criminal courts. this is one of those, doesn't need to be there. >> deshon's mother donna doyle, as well as dozens of protesters who rallied at san francisco city hall yesterday, they say this is certainly a race issue, but you have a point to brink up about that. >> well, i won't draw a conclusion, i'll merely state a

fact and everybody can draw from it, a fact, perhaps, his mother does not know. that is that the employee of the airline, who was the one who got into the initial confrontation with him about the pants is an african-american woman who has worked for the airline for many years and is a professional. everybody can draw their own conclusions. i don't see race as playing any roll in this at all. >> can you talk about how the situation should have been handled. >> all i can say to you, an airline like any other business has a right to refuse service to anybody. the old restaurant sign, no shoes, no shirt, no service. they did work for a long time for an hour with him, including sheriff's deputies, please, let's resolve this, for over an hour. mr. marman chose to not want to deal with that either way. both sides could have relaxed a little bit and treated it differently. that's part of the reason we don't think it belongs in court. we think 12 members on a jury

would say, you know what, everybody could have just -- including mr. marman, could have done this a little bit differently and we don't need to have somebody labeled a criminal over this. >> when you first reported this about a month ago, the statement from deshon marman was that he regretted that he didn't just, nfc, do as he told right away. that plays along with that. in terms of your investigation, did you speak to several witnesses to gather facts? >> our detective from the sheriff's office interviewed everybody in the case, including passengers that happened to be watching it, the pilot, all the officers and flight attendants who were involved. we have statements from all of them. >> okay. san mateo district attorney steve wagstaffe thank you for your time this morning. no criminal charges will be filed against 20-year-old deshon marman in this case. laura. >> thank you very much. you heard it here first, 6:35. following developing news from oakland where the city park commission will weigh in today

on a controversial dog park. it's a park that even has dog lovers fighting against each other. "today in the bay's" christie smith has more on the story. good morning, christie. >> good morning, laura. you ask opponents and they say all the geese around lake merritt leave enough of a mess. they certainly don't need dogs adding to that in a high-profile location. that's when a second location was floated. it would be tucked away behind the trees over near children's fairy land. that got dog lovers saying if they were moved to a potential second location it would add more delays for dogs that just want to play and catch tennis balls at the dog park. it's astro park, on macarthur and lakeshore. it's now used for sports and things like eating lunch. plan b near an old horse stable near fairy land. one walker this morning said

he'd rather have none. >> i don't think they need one, not out here. >> why? >> basically, it's going to create a mess. it's already enough with the birds. >> now, oakland only has five dog parks compared with 17 in san francisco and pretty strict no dog rules in city parks. dog lovers saying, hey, we're just trying to move the city forward. the parks commission is expected to recommend one location or drop the idea all together. they motor at 4:30 near lake merritt. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, christie. >> you may say behind me christie smith as well, a lot of cloud cover in the bay area, check in with meteorologist christina loren. >> i don't care where you're waking up this morning, you're going to find cloud cover from gilroy to santa rosa, everywhere

you can get this signal, it is foggy this morning. but it's clearing out a little bit quicker than we thought in some spots. as a matter of fact, the north bay not seeing clouds touch the ground just yet. we'll take a look at the fog forecast in just a moment, up and running. low pressure firmly in control. you can see this counterclockwise spin. this the weathermaker. today it's going to drag a front through the area, as soon as it gets moving to the east, a pulse behind it. i do think that will happen. this guy is going to kick up the secondary of low pressure. for us that means on-shore flow will continue for the next few days. but once this front comes through, and it's going to take a couple of days to come through, we're going to start to warm up finally. let's get fog fighting imagery ready to go. ten miles of visibility in the south bay. however, marine layer so deep over the south bay right now generating drizzle. livermore same situation, four miles in oakland, seven miles in san francisco. still that cloud deck hovering above the surface in the north

bay. we'll let you know the minute that changes, as we are now in high time for that fog, typically between six and seven. 58 in livermore, 58 in gilroy, 61 degrees right now in san jose as we head throughout this afternoon temperatures will climb but not by much. only 71 degrees in los gatos, 60 in san francisco and 70 in santa rosa. the further you are away from the coast the better weather for the second half of the day. 73, though, even in gilroy. if you head throughout the remainder of the week, temperatures stay below average, 73 degrees. that's it for saturday. that's good news, if you're someone that wants to make outdoor plans in the areas that are inland, 73 on saturday. however, at the coast it's going to be foggy, it's going to be cold and overcast all weekend long. so if you're looking for that vitamin d head inland. 76 by sunday. finally the 80s come back monday into tuesday. all right. let's check your drive. some people see out there this morning, mike inouye.

>> inland for vitamin d, go into a health food store for pill form. these icons, speed indicators, 43, top of the screen 237 slow right around 1st. watching for that slowdown as well. no incidents reported but i will track that over the next few minutes. 92 off 101 off san mateo bridge a plastic cart reported in lanes. let you know if things are clearing soon. might be tougher to see westbound through the mist and drizzle. the san mateo bridge heading towards us on the peninsula, slick quns on the off ramps because of the mist christina was talking about. >> exactly. a lot of it out there. >> good for inland. 6:40 right now. it was a rough day at the running of the bulls. seven people are injured. show you how it happened. lawmakers are taking on mystery phone fees in washington

today. we've got a live report coming

up next.

start today on mystery charnls that show up on your phone bill. kristin dahlgren has more on the investigation. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, laura. if you're a victim of what they call cramming, you probably don't know about it. talking about unauthorized fees

that show up on the phone bill. they are hidden in there, averaging from $1.99 to $19.99. they can add up. fcc says 15 to 20 million american households have been victims of this. only about 5% know they can be victims of this. it's confusing. here is how companies get away with it. they use fake words for charges, service fees, other fees, calling plans, monthly fees. those can be anything from long distance service you didn't authorize to horoscopes you didn't authorize. they show up on your land line bill, which right now is illegal but fcc continues to fine companies for doing it. now there are no law from the books for wireless companies. a huge concern. what can you do. you need to look at your bill, make sure you recognize companies listed there, know what services you receive, look

for charges for calls you didn't place, services you didn't authorize and confirm the rates you've negotiated with the company if you have ordered a service. congress talking about it, hopefully coming up with some rights for consumer protections, right now in the hands of the bill. >> thank you very much. 6:45 right now, chalk up another win for joe montana. montana's proposal for building a luxury hotel, upscale restaurant and sports bar across the street from the proposed niners stadium took a big step forward. they approved to exclusively work with him for the next 18 months. they are convinced it will turn santa clara into a vacation. >> what town of the vote. >> it's always good to win. a long way from the process.

>> city council went against city manager's recommendation to open it to everyone to make it competitive. the hope is to have hotel and restaurant up and running when the stadium opens up for business. if the giants get back in the world series they have home field advantage. they won in phoenix. a three-run home run, national league won 5-1. the team that wins home field advantage gets it in the world series. sandoval hit one in the ninth earring. brian wilson closed out the game and eventually picked up the save. there he is. second half of the season starts for the giants tomorrow. they will be in san diego to play the padres, a's host angels this weekend. first game of that series is on friday. can you stem get your giants fix

tonight. their documentary series "the franchise" debuts on showtime. a behind the scenes look at your favorite giants from training camp up to their push for another world series title. first of eight one-hour long episodes airs at 1:00 p.m. on showtime. may be running of the bills but more like limping of humans in pamplona, spain. seven people injured. bulls didn't gore anyone but people went to the hospital with face, leg and head injuries. they say part of today's run came in the homestretch when a 1400 pound bull ran ahead of the pack of others. they barreled through the crowd like a train. that's what they do. they are bulls. tomorrow is the last day of the eight-day festival. i always think it looks exciting.
