>> him stepping down is just a slap in the face. >> what happens next for a police department in shambles. >> i did have faith in him. >> from kpix5, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hi, i'm sara donchey. a major bomb shell out of antioch tonight that shocked everyone we asked about it. the police chief announcing he is going to resign amid a racist text

scandal. steven ford has only been chief for less than a year. he talked to our katie nielsen tonight over the phone and told her this was a difficult decision for him and his family but he does feel like he has made progress. he also put out a formal statement. part of it says he was grateful for the opportunity to serve and he mentioned his last day will be august 11th. now, all of this is happening as antioch police is being investigated by the fbi. that investigation uncovers dozens of racist and homophobic texts allegedly sent back and forth between officers for years. nearly half of the officers in the department have been put on leave because of it. now at the same time, we have learned chief ford is expected in court this week to testify about that scandal. ford was subpoenaed by criminal defense attorneys who say the department violated the racial justice act. several antioch police officers were also subpoenaed but at least five of them are fighting it saying they have industrial injuries

and cannot show up to court. the city has also been hit with a federal lawsuit for violating civil rights. andrea nakano spoke to some of the people going after the city about the chief's decision to step down. >> reporter: some believe chief steven ford was the right man to lead the department through this texting scandal but this news does not come to a surprise from one plaintiff we spoke to. >> just all the scrutiny and stuff coming into antioch police department. so everybody is trying to either run and get far away, or duck and hide. >> reporter: adam carpenter says he was arrested in november of 2020 for possessing a firearm. all the officers that made the arrest are implicated in the texting scandal. carpenter thought chief steven ford was different than the rest of the department. >> i was actually marching on the side of them at the last march. you know. to where it must be too much for him to

bear or overwhelming. >> reporter: chief ford came after the texting scandal came to light. shigufa khan who is also a plaintiff in the case believed the chief made great strides to mend relationships with the community. >> it is a sad day for the city of antioch. he was sort of our last hope. i mean, when he got hired to the job, he had a lot of positive initiatives, community engagement. respect. care. so him stepping down is just a slap in the face to the community. >> reporter: the charges against adam carpenter were dropped. the next court date in the texting scandal is.coming up friday. we also reached out to lamar thorpe to get his reaction. he declined an interview because he had not yet spoken to the chief himself. so the big question is what happens now to an already anemic department that is in

the middle of a major crisis? we spoke to district 2 councilmember mike barbanica who says even he was shocked by the news. he said it is the city manager's job to appoint a chief. but antioch city manager just resigned. his last day on the job was friday. the acting city manager could make the call, but the council will have to iron out all the details. >> it is very important to all of us to make sure that we immediately start this search to look for the right person for the job. whether that is someone on a temporary basis or long term, that remain to be seen. >> antioch city council will discuss the search when they meet next tuesday. now, our katie nielsen sat down for a one on one interview with chief ford back in april to talk about the scandal. at the time, he said he wanted to see the department through it. >> this doesn't have to be your battle. you can walk away. >> i can walk away now. but i

choose to stay. i'm committed to the organization and the profession. i feel that everything, all the experiences, all the opportunities throughout my career, personal, professional, academic, i feel that they have all culminated into this moment. and i don't believe anything happens by chance. this was supposed to be. >> we will be following this story very closely. what comes next for chief ford and for the antioch police department. as we do, we will keep you updated on our website, kpix.com. it has been a very violent day in the city of oakland. five people shot in less than 11 hours and four of those people have lost their lives. oaklanpolice found two people dead early this morning. a few hours later, officeund a woman who had been shot lying on the street on 18th avenue. they say they found oulater someone else had been shot in that incident, to they were treated at the hospital. finally, around 11:00 this

morning, police found a driver dead in his car. >> we have already returned foot patrols to many of our neighborhoods and we will be adding more officers in the near future. >> 57 homicides this year in oakland which is down from last year. we have heard a lot of people getting dropped from their home insurance because of the risk of wild fires. but one bay area family says they were dropped for an entirely new reason. a lot of us have never heard of it. and a lot of people hoping they would be a billionaire by now, but we are all out of luck. well, almost all of us. because someone just hit the power ball jackpot and it happened here in california. we'll tell you where. plus, some other people in the bay area also getting a piece of the pie. and an aggressive otter that managed to avoid being caught is serving as free advertising for some beach side businesses. and here it is. already after 11:00 at night, and you can still see it out there. all the haze. air quality is going

downhill. we have our first air quality advisory in a while. and it is smoke from a wild fire to our north. we will talk about that and the heat advisory for this weekend coming up. oh ms. flores, what would we do without you? leleader o of many, and d pet wranglgler too. you u report to o your b, everery afternoooon. so beautififul. soso becoming g a student t an might t seem imposossible.

but what i if a schoolol cocould be thehere for allll o? carereer, familyly, financnces and menental heal. wellll, it can.. nanational uniniversity, supportiting the whohole yo.

well, if you were hoping to

be the next billionaire after tonight's power ball drawing it's probably not you unless you bought your ticket in la. and even then, you are probably not watching this newscast right now. tom wait is in downtown la for us where one very lucky power ballplayer hit the billion dollar jackpot. >> reporter: we are in downtown la in the fashion district. and this is the store. appear to be a family owned store where this billion dollar ticket was sold. quite extraordinary. a very desolate section of the city at night. there's really no one out here right now. you can see the front of the store is closed. very non-descript shop. we understand this is the only billion dollar jackpot ticket that was sold. $1.08billion. that could be in 30 installments or they can take a lump sum payment of $558 million. there you have it. that is where some lucky person bought that ticket. and the family that perhaps owns that store also going to benefit

from that huge winning. >> oh my gosh, so excited for the winner. so excited for the store owner. now we don't know the winner's identity of course yet. but back here in the bay, three players still hit it big. where the first five numbers were a match. just not the power ball. still something to celebrate. one of the tickets was sold at this santa clara 7/11 store. two others were sold in san francisco and hayward. each worth nearly half a million dollars. again, something to be incredibly happy about. a lot of people in our state not so happy. they have been losing their insurance because of fire risk. but that is not the only reason. last week, we introduced you to people in berryessa estates in napa county. a lot of them lost their insurance because of high fire danger there. a viewer saw that story and reached out to us about their situation. their insurance was also dropped for an entirely different reason. wilson walker has the story from menlo park. >> oh yeah, we fell in love

with the redwoods when we drove up. we had our two-year-old son. he was asleep. so we fell in love with it. made an offer. they turned it down. >> reporter: it was 1995 when anne and robert wendell found their way into the home in which they would raise their family. 28 years here now. suddenly, a surprise in the mail. >> yeah. definitely caught me by surprise. >> reporter: a notice of nonrenewal for their homeowner's insurance because the home is too old. >> the age of the home, this property is no longer within unwriter's guidelines. >> reporter: the home is not considered to be high fire risk. the wendells have upgraded just about everything from the doors and the windows to the landscaping and the roof. and this is one of the younger homes in the neighborhood built in the mid 60s. >> so it is what, 58 years old? you can go down the street here. just about three or four hours, you can look on the left

hand side. you can see some hold houses. >> reporter: he is not aware of any other neighbors geting the same notice so he asked his provider what is considered old? >> any house built before 1970 they are rejecting just outright. >> yeah i think what we are seeing is insurance companies reacting to a lot of different forces. reacting to climate change. all the technology giving them a more vivid view of the homes they have been ensuring. >> reporter: amy bach is with an information source for consumers. she say it is industry is getting more cautious about which homes to insure and letters like this one are becoming more common. >> before the last year or so, i would have said to that homeowner don't worry about it. you'll find another insurance that will take you. but today, you know, the options just keep shrinking and shrinking so it is tough out there. >> yep, just shopping around. getting a bunch of quotes right

now. >> reporter: wendell says he is finding some options and not with outrageous prices. but he still can't understand how his perfectly normal home in the heart of the bay area would suddenly lose coverage. >> well, this was a surprise because we don't have a fire hazard. >> reporter: having a policy dropped because of the age of the home not unheard of, though more commonly associated with a place like san francisco where the home may be well over 100 years old. not 58. now insurers cannot-renew for just about any reason as long as they are not discriminating on the basis of gender or ethnicity. the only real requirement is that they provide the policyholder with 75 days notice. >> tough situation there. let's talk to darren because we have had our own weather situation. everybody is talking about the haze. >> yes. the fire burning in southwest oregon, it is

bringing smoke our way. if we switch to the live picture from a camera we have above the santa clara valley, you can see what the view looks like out there still. >> yeah. i know it's not the clearest camera you have ever seen. but it is even less high-def because of all the haze. >> i look at that and think what a perfect picture to illustrate what's happening. you see the imperfections. >> i do. i'm sorry. i'm negative. >> there is the inversion. >> you can see it. it is obvious. >> and look. wait until you see what happens next. i will show you what the air quality is like in san jose because san jose, our air quality is good. i am focusing on concord. we will bring in the chart. move the needle. thankfully, that needle doesn't have far to go. down on the ground, it has not gotten all that bad. we have an

air quality advisory. but at least for right now, most readings are in the moderate category. the next few days i will show you how the smoke is moving toward us. it will probably increase in concentration a bit. you know, we might fall into the unhealthy for sensitive groups for smoke. that would be the first time we have done it in a while and it is something we should start thinking about getting reoriented, too. considering what is going on across the rest of the country. let's talk about temperatures for a moment. what we did today should have been enjoyed. look at what the average daytime highs are this time of year. we will take a look at today's daytime highs. we will put those out the backside there. and now, you can see where we were. pretty much right on the mark. there is a pretty noticeable warmup coming our way. it will bring temperatures back to 100. there is a nice cooldown coming toward next week. we will get to that in a second. but this is the day

that need to be looked at. friday and saturday. both days actually have the heat advisory. it is not only livermore but all of the inland valleys. when we get to that map, you will see how some places are going to avoid the worst of this. in terms of that smoke coming our way, watch the flow in the atmosphere. see how it just keeps drifting over us? it's like there's a car pool lane and it is getting directed right into the bay. with high pressure in place, everything stagnates. all the while, smoke will be filtering in. high pressure is going to trap it. we are probably going to see the air quality get a little worse while the temperatures are going up. so this is a good time to pay attention to what's coming the next few days. tomorrow's daytime highs are already noticeably warmer. we just looked at the averages. you were much cooler than mid 90s today for the inland valleys. though friday and saturday are the warmest days, tomorrow is the day when you

will notice the change. that's when you step outside and go oh, it's gotten pretty warm. but the heat advisory doesn't go into effect until we get into friday morning. stays in effect until saturday night. there is that beautiful dividing line. if you are on this side of the hill, you got no issues. you'll have enough influence from the on shore breeze. it will get warm but not terribly hot. but if you are inland, that's why you have those colors shaded over your part of the bay. you can see how the center of heat has been wobbling around. that's where it was today. watch what happens the next two days. it just drifts back our way. and by the time we get into saturday, it is right where it was last weekend. the only difference is even if the location is the same as last weekend, the intensity is not quite as strong. so it won't get quite as hot but it will be close. san francisco and oakland. first oakland, you are going back to the upper 80s . we can take a look at the inland east bay. that is where you get near 100. but look at the cooldown as we saw. good looking numbers at least by the time we get to next week into

the 80s . all right, mr. lively. over to you. >> darren, i want some of the cool graphics. if i had them, i would show you the injury list for the giants. things have begun going well on the field. but they can't catch a break with the injury bug. plus, the start of the women's world cup. less than an hour away to the two-time defending champs feel

the hits keep coming for the giants. they are not on the field, but the injury list. brandon crawford added for a knee injury. that means casey schmidt, yes, this man, will play a bigger role in crawford's absence. no score, bottom of the third. reds will benson takes it deep. the third was the only inning that cincinnati had only base runners. giants now down a run in the eighth inning. luis mato up with two on. but he flies out to deep left. ends the inning and the reds go onto win 3-2 snapping san francisco's seven-game win streak.

to oakland, this little guy chugging. as and red sox tied at two in the sec. oakland's cody thomas over 2,000 at bat ins the minors. today, his first big league big fly. one of three homers in the game. they beat boston 6-5 to win the series. the warriors draymond green was asked about becoming teammates with chris paul. green appeared to take an indirect shot at jordan poole. >> i look forward to working with another adult. you know? when i have had my fair share of days not working with adults and people don't move like adults. so i'm looking forward to going to work with an adult. >> oh, his comments didn't go over well with pool's dad. he tweeted that is some bs. jp was his guy. he is soft and i'm standing on this. he didn't apologize to me and my wife. so he is lame. me and him can meet

any time he wants. always some drama there. soccer, the women's world cup kicks off in about half an hour new zealand. the u.s. women's team plays their first match friday against vietnam and they are heavy favorite to win their third straight cup. alex morgan says the team isn't feeling any extra pressure despite being the pick to win it all. >> i feel like we put pressure on ourselves. obviously, the american mentality is that we expect to go in there and win. it will be difficult. it is so challenging. we have to focus on each game at a time. but that is for sure the angle. >> of course there is no extra pressure: but do they need to feel the pressure? two in a row going for three? >> i have to say in my opinion, this is one of the most exciting sporting events of all time. the women's team and all of the teams are so impressive and i really do. i record every game. i try to watch every matchup i can. i even made

friends watching with strangers in bars and restaurants. >> it's the best sporting event to go to a bar randomly at 6:00 in the morning and make a friend. >> it is one of the only sporting events where you can go to a bar. thank you so much, matt. okay, do you remember the mad otter? the one that got attention for taking a chunk out of a surfboard? well the otter is actually working as an underofficial mascot for some of the local businesses.

well this otter was kind of aggressive. he knocked surfers off their boards. still hasn't been captured in santa cruz and he has become quite the sensation on the coast. crowds of people are coming to try and see him. that mean it is local

businesses are making more money. >> people definitely come in and are like there's a lot of people looking for the sea otter. and this past sunday was our busiest day ever. >> fish and wildlife workers have been trying everything to capture him. but it has not been working. some people visiting the beach say they want to see the moment they finally get him. >> we took steps to come here. we put our puppy in day care. drove down here and all of that stuff. just because you never know when she will get captured. >> i just want today see her in person. >> it is almost difficult to believe. an otter riding a surfboard. i need to see it myself. >> fish and wildlife says it would be weeks before they actually capture the otter and putting the otter in a new home, not hurting the otter we are told. over in maryland, somebody is trying to catch speeders by using a decoy. neighbors have disguised a little library into

a speed camera. they came up with this kind of solution. apparently, it is actually doing the trick. neighbors say it is actually getting people to slow down. but now police say you got to take it down. >> it's a little disappointing. they are doing 40, 50 miles an hour down the street. my wife's car has lost three mirrors already. his car has been hit a couple of times. >> i think it was to bring awareness and it did seem to work. >> nobody admitted to putting it up. no surprise. it did end up getting taken down. but it definitely was a creative idea. >> is this mashup gross or genius? you decide.

this is my favorite subject on this program. junk food. it's called junk food for a reason. we know it is bad for us. you don't need to write in. yet a lot of people keep eating it. if you ever had a hard time choosing which delicious by bad food to go for, this one is for you. may i introduce you to the ding dong twinkie? >> how did this not happen before this? >> it seems obvious. >> hostess is rolling this out. if it sounds like your thing,

they will be sold at wal-mart stores and they are not limited edition. hostess says they are keeping them around but it had me wondering, gentlemen, if you could mash up two of your favorite snacks, what would they be? >> i will do a ding dong with caramel. >> like a twix ding dong? >> i couldn't come up with a combo. but when i was a kid, i used to love susie q. if i could only have a susie q. that tasted anything like it did when i was a kid. that i were the greatest thing on earth: i can't stand them now. it's probably the same thing. just my taste buds changed. >> i don't know what it is. >> we'll tell you after the show. i would do a cheeto pretzel thing in one. >> oh nice. >> yes. >> it would be messy. but i have no problem with that. but anyway, this is something we will have to continue to think about and address in future broadcas
