• Armed probationer arrested after fleeing on an e-bike in Tustin (newsantaana.com) — Tustin police report that a 19-year-old on probation tried to escape on an e-bike, discarding a loaded gun near a local school before being arrested. Officers recovered the firearm and booked him on multiple felony charges, including possessing a gun near a school and narcotics for sale, with potential sentencing enhancements because of his prior record.
   

• ‘Gas station heroin' still widely available at vape shops, despite bans (ocregister.com) — Tustin is actively enforcing a local ban on kratom, 7-OH, cannabis advertising, and nitrous oxide sales, even as many vape shops elsewhere in California still sell the products despite a statewide prohibition. A local shopkeeper showed reporters a city flyer warning businesses they’re responsible for compliance, and Tustin police even encountered the journalists photographing seized items atop a city parking garage. The story also explores statewide enforcement gaps and differing views on regulating these addictive substances.
