Serial Bay Area shoplifter arrested 90 times

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:14 GMT

PLEASANT HILL, Calif. (KRON) -- With handcuffs around his wrists, December started out typical for Jesse Leonardo Otero. Getting nabbed by police for shoplifting is part of Otero's regular routine. The habitual serial shoplifter looked surprised during his most recent arrest in Pleasant Hill, however, when something out-of-the-ordinary happened. A KRON4 news reporter held up a camera and asked, "Jesse, don't you get sick of getting arrested?" Otero, 44, appeared to be at a loss for words, other than spewing vulgarities at the reporter. "What the f**k?" he said. Otero has been arrested 90 times over the years. The homeless man is well known to East Bay law enforcement officers, and like other repeat offenders, he survives by stealing from stores.Jesse Otero swears at a news reporter while he is arrested in Pleasant Hill on Dec. 8, 2023.

DALTON, Mass. (AP) — A U.S. Air Force staff sergeant from Massachusetts who was one of eight service members lost when a CV-22 Osprey crashed off the coast of Japan was remembered at his funeral on Wednesday as outstanding and a leader and a friend to many.

Christopher Malatesta at the service at the St, Agnes Parish in Dalton.“The Air Force has core values. Jake had those values.

He was fun and loveable. He was truly honorable.”Galliher’s remains were the first to be found after the Osprey went down Nov. 29 during a training mission just off Yakushima Island in southwestern Japan.

Stock market today: Wall Street slams the brakes for a rare slowdown following record-setting rally

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:53:14 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street slammed the brakes on its big rally following disappointing profit reports from companies and warnings that the market had simply gone too far, too fast.
