Today's riddle: The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I ? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Office of the District Attorney (sonomacounty.gov) — A Sonoma County District Attorney's report details a 2025 crash that began after Petaluma police tried to stop a suspected DUI driver on Lakeville Highway, leading to a high-speed pursuit and rollover that killed a minor passenger. The review explains the DA's role in assessing whether officers bear any criminal liability and outlines how the case will be presented to the county grand jury.
• game-of-the-week-rancho-cotate-pulls-away-in-second-half-to-top-casa-grande-44-20 (modbee.com) — Casa Grande's home game in Petaluma saw Rancho Cotate pull away late, scoring 21 unanswered fourth-quarter points to seal a 44-20 win. Despite strong moments from the Gauchos, including a blocked punt touchdown and a long scoring pass, penalties and a dominant Cougar running attack ultimately decided the REC-Valley matchup on Petaluma turf.
• Sonoma County officials' text deletions called bad practice by experts (mercurynews.com) — Sonoma County officials are under scrutiny for routinely deleting text messages related to public business, and the county's policy still doesn't clearly address how long such texts must be kept. Petaluma Fire Chief Jeff Schach's handling of texts during an emergency medical council meeting highlights how unclear rules may limit public access to important local decision-making records.
