• Lake Forest Exec Named In Alcohol Giant's $12.5M Bribery Case That Exposed Corruption On CA Grocery Shelves (patch.com) — Lake Forest residents are learning that a local executive, Michael Dehdashtian, is among several former Southern Glazer's Wine and Spirits employees charged in a sweeping California bribery scheme involving luxury perks for grocery alcohol buyers. Federal prosecutors say the company will pay $12.5 million and overhaul compliance after years of improper payments that allegedly influenced which wines and spirits appeared on supermarket shelves and at what prices.
• DUI Hit-And-Run Suspect Leads Police On Chase At Lake Forest Park: Police (patch.com) — A suspected DUI driver allegedly fled a two-car crash near Lake Forest Drive and Muirlands Boulevard on Wednesday night, sparking a brief foot chase through Veterans Park before deputies detained both occupants.
