Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 'Multiple suspects in custody' after large police response in Chico (krcrtv.com) — Chico residents were urged to avoid the Jackson and California streets area Tuesday morning as police carried out a high‑risk search warrant that brought a heavy law enforcement presence. Multiple suspects were taken into custody within an hour, and officers later said there was no ongoing danger, though they asked people to use caution while units remained on scene.
2. Butte County libraries get security upgrades after shooting (actionnewsnow.com) — Chico's public library is getting new emergency exits, panic hardware, PA systems, and a security room after county supervisors approved added funding for safety upgrades. Along with similar work in Oroville, the Chico branch will also keep security guards for now while officials evaluate long‑term needs, aiming to make staff and visitors feel safer after a June shooting.
3. 89-year-old Chico man killed after being hit crossing East Avenue at Ceres Avenue (krcrtv.com) — An 89‑year‑old Chico man, Joel Seltzer, died after being struck by a vehicle while crossing East Avenue at Ceres Avenue Sunday night, according to Chico police. Investigators say he crossed against a red light, while the cooperating driver from Oroville was found not to be impaired or speeding, and nearby surveillance video helped document what happened.
4. Benefits of spay and neuter (chicoer.com) — Chico's animal shelters are taking in 49 pets per 1,000 residents, far above the national average and straining local resources. The column urges residents to spay and neuter their dogs, outlining clear health benefits, debunking common myths, and stressing how responsible pet care can ease Butte County's growing overpopulation and surrender crisis.
