he missed five games after that and went into rehab. then he took a nine-game absence during the 2014 season for violations of the league's substance abuse and personal conduct policies. he was also arrested in april 2014 at the los angeles international airport the police said he was randomly selected for a secondary screening, he became uncooperative, told a tsa agent he was carrying a bomb. no charges there. and he faced felony assault, weapons charges and dui charges in 2012 which were reduced to misdemeanors. the coach said smith had been working hard to kick a number of problems he had. >> get the help. you don't have to walk alone. find it, it's there.

absolutely come course. someone put up a sign last year that said pothole mine field ahead. we didn't know whether to laugh or cry. >> it's kind of sad. >> reporter: is there an easy answer when people ask what took so long? >> the short answer is money. >> reporter: mayor sam liccardo says during the great recession police and fire services took priority over the road. all the while, small cheaper cracks grew into gaping expensive holes. the good news? the improving economy means san jose has dramatically increased the repair budget this year to $24 million. the bad news, the repair backlog is a half billion dollars. >> so the bill's coming due and when you put it off it means the bill gets a lot larger, a lot quicker. so we have to make the investment now. >> my car has received so much damage just from the road. we clang when we go down the road. >> reporter: stephanie lives on one of the worst sections of foxworthy. after years of waiting, she can't believe it's finally

clara police he actually left the scene apparently on foot. and the police were called. when they came back, aldon smith came back on his own met with the police officers, agreed to take a field sobriety test which i officers said he failed, and he was arrested. one of the charges is leaving the scene of an accident and the collision with the car. that is described by the santa clara police department just a few minutes ago. >> he was in close proximity attempting to park his vehicle and while doing that he collided with another vehicle next to it. i don't know the distances. >> a few feet? >> i don't know the distance. i'll be speculating if i gave an answer. >> again, how is that hit-and- run? >> he left the scene, did not identify himself at all. and it was not until the officers returned to the scene he came back down and contacted the officers. >> reporter: aldon smith was taken to the santa clara county detention center where he was booked. he did bail out this morning.

also, at this point, we are expecting him to be in court for an arraignment. the official charges of course will be filed by the santa clara d.a.'s office and the 49ers cut him from the team. that's the latest. we'll have more coming up later on tonight at 5:00. >> okay, mark sayre live for us down at santa clara. mark, thank you. >> thanks, mark. coming up, meet max, just like us our pets are always developing changing. there's max. when to sound the alarm if you notice somet

we have heard from some owners who notice mysterious bumps on their dogs and cats. our pet expert dr. jill chase joins us to talk about what to look for and when to be

concerned. i have to tell you, i have a couple of dogs and i have noticed some mysterious bumps on mu dog, too. >> i brought mac in because mac has a little mass right here where my fingers are. it's not too big maybe .25" in diameter. the thing is masses can be anything, a tumor, either benign or malignant. it can be a cyst. it could be a foreign body like a little foxtail or splinter that got in there. sometimes it can be a little abscess which is an infection. so whenever you find something like that on your pet you should definitely notify your veterinarian right away. i wanted to talk about the difference between doing a fine needle asperait. they tolerate it well. a little needle we try to draw out cells. a biopsy is actually more definitive. if we take a little tiny piece of tissue, we can see exactly what we're dealing with. >> you don't need to go to the

emergency room if you find a bump? >> not generally. i mean, obviously, if it's an oozing, you know, nasty looking bump maybe yes. but i usually recommend with my owners as long as they are eating fine acting normally everything is looking good maybe it can wait until the next workday. >> and mac's bump is okay? >> mac produces several of these bumps. this is i think his fourth one. we have taken them off. they turn out to be benign tumors of the hair follicle. >> all right. he looks a little scared. >> he is a little. he looks better now. >> stage fright. >> thank you so much. >> if you have a question, just email pets@kpix.com or on our facebook page, and we'll have our pet expert give you an answer every friday right here at noon. >> all right, guys. thanks. jazz lovers are coming together in san jose over the weekend. kpix 5's roberta gonzales is at the summerfest jazz fest ahead of tonight's performance and i believe she is down there for a

nice and clear free from browning. and it's got to feel very fresh to the touch. when you bring them home, in the refrigerator, open up the bag a little bit so they can breathe and store them in the refrigerator. the chicory, i always makes it with like some of the spring mix that you buy. i put some chicory in. if it's not already in there, i put it in there. it just gives it a little extra texture and flavor to the salad a nice little bite. and i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer, and always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy. sparingly and good. right now in san jose a backpack giveaway is bringing big savings to thousands of low- income families because every bag is bursting with school supplies. >> it helps a lot because then we don't have to buy that much stuff for school. >> many parents lined up before dawn. the supplies inside each bag range from pencils, paper to scientific calculators and funding for the annual events came from churches, big companies and donors. today jill schlesinger has tips on jumping back into the
