• Suspect Arrested in Scotts Valley Arson Investigation (tpgonlinedaily.com) — A man was arrested after allegedly admitting to setting several small vegetation fires on a hillside near Green Hills Road in Scotts Valley, where quick work by multiple fire agencies kept damage to about a quarter-acre. Local police and Cal Fire are withholding his name while the case moves to Santa Cruz County Superior Court, and officials are stressing fire danger in light of past major wildfires.
• Santa Cruz County immigration arrests steadily increase as nationwide arrests surge (santacruzlocal.org) — Santa Cruz County immigration arrests are rising, but Scotts Valley Police report no advance notices from federal immigration authorities over the past two years. County data show most local arrests involve people with criminal charges, while public defenders and nonprofits are stepping up legal help for immigrants worried about detention, deportation, and the long-term impact of criminal pleas.
