again, the jailhouse interview you have got to hear. some of the biggest hotels in the valley sold. will their names change? we'll have the answer coming up. welcome to abc15 mornings on this friday. you can see someone is missing, danielle lerner with the day off and mallory has the traffic and i'm really excited about what iris will tell us. >> right? it's fall. and as temperatures dropping. we are at 73 degrees as the skies continue to gradually clear and drier air moves in. on your way out the door, it will feel great and you may even roll the windows down as you drive into work. we will have lingering clouds but they will continue to clear off to the east. so lunch time, mostly sunny skies. light breezes this morning and this afternoon, and it's going to be a beautiful afternoon with highs only in the 80s

hour by hour planner in a few minutes. mallory? let's give you a look at the roads. you can see from the traffic map, all green out there, and we did have earlier crashes that has closed down or they were restricting lanes in the freeway, but everything is back open. no traffic issues for you out there. a 16-minute desert drive time southbound from the 101 to the i-10 stack. but a heads up. i am hearing that the exit at seventh avenue is closed. that could be overnight work there. maybe use the 7 street exit instead to save yourself time there. and a closer look at the north valley in a couple of minutes. mallory, we, for the first time, are hearing from the man who thought it was a good idea to hit former suns star and sacramento mayor kevin johnson in the face with a pie. you can see the picture, and he

black eye. >> i said you need to better represent your people, and he looked me right in the eye when i said that. >> what you. that's sean thompson, a sacramento activist who said his peaceful protests were not effective to get his attention. he said that kj punched him, twice. and as for the by, he said it was coconut cream, dan. how am i supposed to react that? i don't know. closer to the valley, moving on, an accused sexual predator off the streets, and the details are disturbing. rodolfo ramirez arrested, accused of picking up this unconscious woman and putting her over his shoulder and taking her to the parking garage where he sexually assaults her and puts her in

at an intersection in tempe. he is supposed to watch over of the inmates but this morning, a valley detention officer is in jail, accused of having sex with an inmate at the estrella jail. row ramey admit its does happen. some of the most popular hotels in the valley have been sold and have a new owner. about 20 they are part of the starwood resorts merger with marriott. so what does that mean for you? if you are one of those reward customers, you will be able to transfer the points over to the marriott rewards system. as for the employees, i talked with marriott's president this morning and he said about 90% of the employees will not be impacted. they really need to keep the level of service the same. but this is affecting some of

and we are talking about the w hotel in scottsdale, the big one in old town, and the sheraton in downtown phoenix, the big tan building. those are all part of marriott and i also asked the president of marriott, will we see a name change? i'll give you the answer at 5:30. justin pazera, abc15. >> thank you, justin. in about three babeu and tom holleran will meet for breakfast, both men running to represent congressional district number one. we'll have a crew heading there. look for their reports on our website and later newscasts. arizona, a swing state or a battle ground or maybe on the bubble, for the first time in a long time, our state is in play

time. vp pick mike pence speaking at a crowd of about 800 people at a church in mesa, spoke for about 45 minutes, nothing new here and touched on trump's tough talk on immigration and the wall. >> there is so much more in the country today that unites us than will ever divide the people of the united s america. it's already there. >> trump and pence have both visited arizona in the past month. you've seen a lot of political ads this month, and you may know some of them include video from abc15 newscasts. you've seen the clips, and many of you have asked us. we want you to know specifically, abc15 has nothing to do with creating the advertisements. they were produced without our permission and without our

campaigns have a legal right to do that, but abc15 news never supports the use of our video for partisan political attacks, and that's a stance to count on here at abc15 now through election day. the time is 5:06 on friday morning and everyone remembers getting checked for lice in school; right? the tense moments under the hot lamp and one valley campus is sending the kids home by the dozens infestation. >> he is off the force after he was accused of forcing a noon eat pot. we are checking into his checkered past. >> and we are giving you a closer look at what to expect

we dance on the salsa team together, and it's like a lot of power in what we wear. when we're practicing if i don't feel good in what i'm wearing i don't look good. t.j.maxx has that variety. i can get a lot for my money. it's like "yay t.j.maxx!" if you're feeling it, just go for it, don't wait.

after days of heavy rain, people in parts of north of east i way are preparing for the worst, the cresting of the shell rock river. the floodwaters are waist deep and dozens of homes have been damaged. this is a rough reality to deal with this morning, iris, and we saw rain and flooding even. yeah, and we are tracking changes. this morning, down to 73 breeze and the dew point, i've seen it drop by 20 degrees in the last so that's a great indication that the drier air is pushing in. and you can see they are dropping all across the western half of our state. so what that means is even though it's still a little humid this morning, it will feel much more humid and we'll get the dry heat once we get in the afternoon, and we're also getting cooler air. if you look at temperatures over the next 24 hour, check this out. starting in the 70s right now and gradually warm through the

80 80 -- mid-80s this afternoon, a gorgeous day on tap. a quick cool down overnight and tomorrow morning, start making plans if you can. we'll cool down, low 50s into the 60s to kickoff saturday morning, and it will be warmer tomorrow, up to 90 but still below average. it will be a great start to the weekend. i'll tell when you the rain chances coming back in the 7- no crashes or issues on the freeways that you have to worry about, and that includes north valley drivers on the 101 shortly, eastbound from 75th to i-17, a 6-minute desert drive time, and maybe starting on the 101 in the west valley, all green, connecting with the 10.

largest for-profit college a creditor. this is the same agency that oversaw itt tech and corinthian college. the agency is accused of lax oversight of the schools and the agency will appeal but my goodness. a lot of education and money tied up with this one, dan. what was supposed to be an improvement to the prison system could be putting kids in danger in happy valley. there is a meeting the maricopa re-entry center. parents are worried about homeless ex-cons hanging out in the shopping center or committing crimes in the neighborhood. the center was originally intended for juvenile offenders. >> it's been there for 44 years and nobody had an issue until the department of corrections

government said, works on keeping offenders from falling back into bad habits. and kids are back in school and so are the lice. yeah, sorry, going to get your skin crawling. all parents have received a letter saying that kids will be sent home if they are infected with the super lice, yeah, super lice, and it's hard to beat. over the counter treatments will not it's all about combing all the bugs and eggs out of the hair. >> there is no quick cure. there is no shampoo, nothing that you can -- no pills. you have to manually remove every nit from the air in order to get rid of head lice. >> it's rough, folks. some of the treatment centers cost $100 an hour, broken down into 15-minute periods. and it's a problem invading so many valley neighborhoods,

from online threats. >> we noticed and recognized that parents are using apps and handing the child the ipad or the phone. and we wanted to make sure that they got the appropriate apps. >> as a father of 5, i know that all too well. stop by the peoria main library to check it out. you could win a prize as part of national "get card" month. the much-anticipated african museum of history and culture open this open -- opens this weekend, a project more than a century in the making sitting just near the washington monument. it showcases the good, bad, and uglier parts of the african- american experience in the united states. 400 years comes to life in more than 30,000 artifacts. a school addition with the

opens up tomorrow. let's talk about the most accurate forecast in case you're getting ready to head out the door. you'll notice a difference in the skies in the morning. we started off with more cloud cover a few hours ago and you can see in the time lapse that the clouds are gradually clearing in the southeast. so through the morning, you'll notice the clouds push further and further east of the valley and we end up with mostly clear skies. the abc1 dry. a few pop ups around payson are moving to the northeast and fizzling out around winslow. florence, casa grande, a chance of a few scattered showers especially through the morning. so i kept a 10% chance in the forecast in the far east valley this morning. i think after 6:00, the rain chances clear out cleatly of the phoenix metro and we'll

temperature wise, cooler air. right now, we're sitting at 73, and it will be a slow warm up. we won't make it back to the 80s until 11:00, and then we top out at 86 around 3:00 this afternoon, and a picture- perfect evening in case you want to enjoy dinner outside later. dry this afternoon and we'll watch areas to the southeast, and the rest of the state getting drier air in here and clearing out our rain chances but early next signs of moisture returning, still many days away. we'll continue to fine tune the forecast as we get closer but by tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, a chance of showers returning. we'll talk more about this weekend outlook in a few minutes. mallory? iris, we had debris on state route 51 southbound at northern but dps just showed up and it looks like they already cleared it out of the way.

i think you're okay. just use caution in the hov lane. the big picture showing very light traffic valley wide but a heads up on the closure that happening this weekend. loop 101 shut down up to thunder bird. and on sunday, they will do the southbound side, so hop over and use the 17 instead because a large portion will shut down saturday chandler, alma school and elliot, that area is blocked. we'll map that out next. it's the second day of fall and the holidays will be here before you know it. some of you may be looking to put extra cash in your pocket. raising cane's looking to fill their positions in the newest spot. stop by to fill out an

and at 5:30, donald trump is getting serious about monday's debate. who the billionaire is turning

coming up on 5:25, burglars better think twice before stepping into this woman's home. >> no kidding. she is armed and not afraid to defend what's hers. it was all caught on surveillance video.

door, and they have guns drawn, folks. they scurry around the house looking for something. out of nowhere, the woman who lives there jumps out and shoots at the burglars and hits one of them. that burglar died in the front driveway. police are look other two suspects. it's not clear if this home was specifically targeted or random. if a thief tries to steal your purse or wallet, you always hear from law enforcement it's never worth your life >> but it did not stop a woman in florida. she was pumping gas when a guy reached into her car. she that? she not having it, and she jumped on the car to get her purse back. janel, oh, my gosh. >> oh, oh. >> he kept cursing and called me names to scare me off but i think i literally scared him to

>> bravery or stupidity but the point is it did not work. >> and he ran over janel's leg there, but she will be okay, and she said looking back, it was probably not the best idea. >> oh, my gosh. both of those videos, guys. wow. the weekend looking nice but warmer after a cooler day today. i have the most accurate drive time forecast coming up. and i am seeing delays on 10. a new crash on state right 133 to show you. and a police officer accused of forcing a man to eat

your lives are in danger. this is something else, a very dangerous situation taking place early this morning as a suspect takes place on a high- speed chase and then barricades himself in the am/pm. i'm allison rodriguez live at phoenix sky harbor where there will be a picket planned later today. it could mean longer travel times for you. we'll tell you which airline is targeted. some of the largest hotels

this morning, part of a $13 billion deal. what that means for customers and employees coming up. a lot of news on abc15 mornings. glad you're waking up with us. and i know a lot of parts of the valley got rain yesterday and it hit hard at the station as well. iris? the good news is as we look at the abc15 desert doppler, it's all dry and i expect it will be a nice drive into work. apache junction, queen slight chance of a stray shower this morning, but that's it. the rest of us looking at the clouds gradually clearing out and temperatures cooling into the low 70s. as you head out to to work, you'll enjoy a nice drive in. temperatures will warm but not that much. it might be a good day to have lunch on the patio. today's high will be only 86 degrees, a gorgeous day on tap. but we have warmer temperatures

we'll talk about that and how strong the winds will be, mallory. iris, we have a crash hard to see behind the scenes here blocking the left lane, and 7 having to go to the right to get by, so minor slowing traffic, light on 143 but everyone will have to move to the right to get by that and it looks like maybe they're stopping traffic to get rid of debris or get this crash the freeway. besides that, we are seeing delays on the 10, typical for this time of the morning but i want to give you a heads up on a crash in chandler, alma school road, southbound looks like it's blocked off at elliot. the smart route, dobson or arizona avenue. dobson, lighter than arizona so it might be a better option. but, again, avoid the area. we'll take another look at the delays on the 10 in a few

landing while lap -- happening while you were sleeping, a suspect on a high- speed chase and then barricades himself in a convenience store. >> we just want to let you than your lives are in danger. >> phoenix police telling our crews and people standing nearby to get away from the scene after an armed man led officers on a high-speed chase to the / you can see them adjusting the surveillance cameras because they thought the guys inside were watching their moves and they didn't want the s.w.a.t. team movements to be seen. and the guy in handcuffs on the curb, he gave up, wanted on felony warrants, nobody injured in that one. want to update you on two bad rollover crashes at the opposite end of the valley, and unfortunately, one of them we learned has turned deadly. this is on the loop 303 near

truck. one person was ejected and died on the scene. and to mess a we were rolling on the adot cameras there, the car upside down, u.s. 60 near val vista where the driver hit a light pole and two people were ejectorred. traffic is free throwing at both locations as mallory was able to update us on that, dan. 5:33, and chris, happening in a few up airline mechanics heading to the picket lines. allison rodriguez, why are they so upset? >> reporter: good morning, dan. i can tell you that the aircraft mechanic's fraternal organization are planning to picket in sky harbor, and that will get underway in about two hours. the reason? they are not happy with southwest airlines. a local group is trying to

member show up. they said their goal was to educate travelers. theysay they are seeing positions going to outsourcing, unlicensed workers from other countries. they want to get this done quickly. now, other pickets are planned this chicago, and houston as well. so you might want to plan extra time if you plan to travel through southwest or any of the other cities this morning. allison rodriguez, abc15. we have calls in to police to find out more information on two late-night shootings, 95th and bethany, one man was hurt there, and last we heard from officers they were looking into

connected to a separate scene, and here at northern, one man has life-threatening injuries after the same story there. we will bring you updates once we hear back from police. and we are digging into records after three now ex- police officers are accused of bullying. a driver claims he was pulled over and the officers forced him to eat marijuana to the point he got sick. the alleged ringleader, jason mcfadden, transferred after 12 department. we found 15 complaints against him ranging from mishandling a prisoner's property to the use of force complaint. the most minor was neglecting a shift duty. policesay over a decade in a big city, it's not surprising to have a list like that, but it is phoenix police chief said they will look at all of it. >> we'll dive into that and see

didn't catch issue we'll address those. >> mcfadden and richard pena are under criminal investigation. and a fourth officer was disciplined before for telling an inappropriate joke and using the "n" word. a bizarre story, chris. dan, i want to let you know that the curfew has been lifted in charlotte after a third night of protests. this time, looking at the video, i want to be clear it was much more the demonstrators demanding that police release the video of keith scott. and scott's family watched two of the videos and the family and the police chief say they do not definitively show scott pointing a gun at officers before he was shot and killed but it does show scott refusing to drop the weapon. the chief said they will not be released until the investigation is over saying

>> our sex assault victims, our domestic violence victims will have a lot less faith in us. so i would be losing a lot more than people are willing to acknowledge. from charlotte to actuals a the new mugshot from officer betty shelby, out on $50,000 bond. she was booked on first degree manslaughter charges and released this morning. prosecutorssay that she reacted unreasonably when she shot and killed terence crutcher last week. crutcher's families they have mixed feelings saying they are relieved about the arrest -- charges but will not be happy until there is a conviction. the phoenix guardian angels want to keep you informed and talk about the serial street shooter. we haven't talked about this for a while. this is video from last month.

shooter struck was back on july 11th. there is a $75,000 reward to find that guy. call silent witness if you have any information that might lead to arrest. this morning, it's a new name in the travel world but a name you already know, marriott. how will this merger affect the people that work in the hotels, perhaps friends and neighbors? justin pazera spoke marriott executive, and when we say that, justin, we are talking the ceo, awake and taking your call. >> reporter: that's right. and one of the first questions i asked, what will happen to the employees in this sheraton hotel outside the cubs' park in mesa, this is just one of those hotels. we are talking over 5000, almost 6000 hotels that will be under the marriott umbrella. he told me that 90% of the jobs, they are not going to be

at the top of the company, the high level executives, those might be impacted. but this deal will real lump places like the w scottsdale, the big westin resort, the big hotel in downtown phoenix, the big sheraton, they are now under the marriott deal. are you going to see a name change? that's the other question that i asked the marriott president. he said brands, they will stay the name. they have been working on the deal now for about 11 months. and this deal is done, effective today. marriott is now the largest hotel chain in the world. we're live in mesa, justin pazera, abc15. as we look at your most accurate forecast, the last few mornings, outdoor activities may have been a bit of a struggle because of the humidity in place but good

6:17 and it will be a great morning to be outside and we're getting drier air in here. plus, temperatures will gradually warm as cooler air sets in, nice and dry for biking and great for hiking and perfect if you want to get a run in outside. again, a slow warm up. so you have a nice window of time to get outdoors. we have dropped in the 60s in several valley cities like surprise and scottsdale and buckeye. in the 70s across the east valley. i think we'll drop further to near 70 degrees before we start the warm up. but look at the warm up. it will be slow. so if you wanted to go hiking at noon, not bad. still want to hydrate and 82 by then and this afternoon's highs only make it into the mid-80s. so a gorgeous day on tap, and we'll look at the weekend and

mallory? iris, i'm going to give you another look at the crash on state route 143, blocking two of the left lanes, southbound at university drive and dps is in the process of setting up flares. stay way to the right to get by this before you get to the i-10 interchange. not causing extensive delays. i still think you can use it but you will see the brake light there is. i-10 in the west valley, a 16- minute desert drive time, so delays there from the 101 to the 17 and slow and go. the 17, very light, not seeing problem spots on the 17. we'll head out to the east valley, dan. are you thinking about

with prism on the go from centurylink, you can get your favorite shows right on your devices pretty much everywhere you go. um, paul, that was great. i like how you can walk around and watch your shows. and your delivery really evokes "the frozen north". meets "un giorno nella vita." or early film noir. like "whispering city." but the french version. i'm just gonna take a drumstick there. hmm, it's a bit derivative. mom: and your suggestion? "the pottery maker"? son: no. "the summer of my despondency."

a new page of controversy for sheriff paul babeu. sources tell us the fbi has subpoenaed records related to how babeu's office used seized criminal money also known as rico funds. critics have said pcso's use of the foundation is like money laundering. also accused babeu of using the funds to fuel his campaign. it may already be illegal campaigning with government resources. or if they're just being used to make the sheriff look good, as he runs for congress.
