subdue the inmate who had become unruly. the sources say that in the process tree used force that was considered excessive. >> it went through internal investigation. he has not worked for the sheriff's office since then. he was immediately put on adm administrative leave. >> reporter: back then the sheriff's office recommended charges be filed against tree but after several weeks the d.a.'s office declined for reasons unknown. flash forward to this past march. the s.o. resubmitted the complaint. the d.a.'s office conduct additional interviews with pain mateses and five months later, yesterday, decided to press charges. a judge set bond for tree at $75,000. tree was let go from the sheriff's office after his 18 months of paid administrative leave expired this past august. this isn't the only problem at the jail. three other former deputies are facing murder charges. they're accuse of beating inmate michael tyree. he was found dead in a cell a year ago.

reporting live here in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, thank you very much. right now only on nbc bay area we have video of a fight during a san francisco cab ride that ended with the passenger allegedly gouging the driver's eye. obviously it's very dark here in this part of the video. that's why we highlighted the driver and passenger. the dash cam video provided by sf super scab shows the passenger in the backseat. you see right there with his 36-year-old is doing exactly is hard to tell but he does something to the driver. the driver responds seconds later the 65-year-old cab driver starts to hit the passenger. that fight continues outside before police eventually arrive. and the passenger was arrested. now, some kaksity drivers tell thus is a tough job. >> having such a bad -- it was so difficult to make money now we have to take more chances. >> alleged victim, the driver, was released from the hospital after a few hours. we're told his eye is going to be okay. the district attorney's office is deciding how to charge the

suspect. new details this morning. we now know the names of two brothers shot and killed in san jose. we first brought you this story yesterday morning. the brothers were found in a bullet riddled car near spartan stadium. the victims, 27-year-old michael ramirez and 36-year-old artero ramir ramirez. the weapon was an ak-47. >> they may do what they think they did was successful but in the end they will be unsuccessful because statistically it's probably going to happen to them. that's an unfortunate thing to say. but it is the truth. >> 2340 no arrests have been made. this is the 32nd and 33rd homicide in san jose this year alone. san jose is considering drastic measures to deal with the reduced of police officers. city leaders are on the verge of declaring a public safety state of emergency due to dwindling

police staffing numbers. senior leaders met with the chief and members of the police union. they agree at least 500 officers are needed to fully staff patrols. right now they're almost 100 officers short of that number so officers in other divisions will need to be redeployed. >> it's going to mean closure of more unit, more people not investigating specialized crimes and things of that nature. >> a state of emergency would override the current police union contract in order to get more officers on the streets. taking a stern stance against hard alcohol on campus. stanford is cutting down on high volume drinking effective immediately. hard alcohol is now banned at all parties on campus. that includes fraternities and sororities. however, students 21 and older will be allowed to keep hard liquor but nothing bigger than pint sized bottles in their rooms. the university says that this new policy is not related to the sexual assault case involving former stanford swimmer brock

county. they protect the manned lark which remains closed to the public. but not just the property but the castle is home to an extensive heart collection. the chimney fire has burned more than 31,000 acres. it is 35% contained at this point. and there's still activity at the hearst castle. they're using it as base of operation to contain the fire. >> we have seen so much smoke over the entire state of california it seems. check in with rob. >> winds have out of the south pushing the smoke up into central and northern california though we're hopeful over the next 24 hours upper level winds out of the northwest may send more of the smoke away from the bay area. so the south bay today still seeing patches of smoke. but improving air quality out towards the north bay and peninsula. outside right now, temperatures in the 50s. drizzle for the peninsula in san francisco. our friends at los gatos union heading back to school over the last week or so, numbers in the mid 80s for highs. one of the warmer spots in the

records. some of them may have been classified. it raises questions as to why this massive deletion of records took place at all. >> reporter: they outline how big donors to the clinton foundation got access to clinton when she was secretary of state through her top aide yuma abedin. some of the e-mails show that the requests all went through her deputy chief of staff at the time she was secretary of state. but not all the donors got everything they wanted but they got access. reporting live in washington, edward lawrence. back to you. >> thank you. let's go back to local news at 5:14. happening today san jose leaders are meeting to consider possible changes to the city's recent rent control ordinance. in june, city council members agreed to 5% per year rent hike cap. many critics still consider that amount to be too high. landlords can petition the city for higher rent increases to cover capital improvements or debt service. today's meeting takes place at 1:30. now to big court decision
