Man arrested for selling methamphetamine at a San Bernardino County bar
A man has been arrested for allegedly selling methamphetamine at a bar in San Bernardino County, police announced Saturday.
The Rialto Police Department said its Narcotics Unit received a tip that a suspect was engaged in the sale of narcotics at a bar in the 300 block of East Foothill Boulevard.
Police identified the suspect as Keith Henriksen, 57, of Rialto.
According to the department, officers with the Narcotics Unit executed a search warrant at the bar and found what was only described as 'several pounds' of meth, narcotics-related contraband and two firearms.
Although it was not immediately clarified whether Henriksen was an employee of the bar, police said he was found inside the establishment and taken into custody.
Henriksen was ultimately arrested for violating the Health & Safety Code regarding possession of a controlled substance for sale.
In addition to Henriksen's arrest, Rialto police said the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has 'initiated administrative action against the bar, seeking the suspension of its alcohol license due to the violations.'

Doctor claims Thai restaurant's spicy dish left her 'permanently' harmed: 'Will forever be damaged'
A California doctor is suing a Thai restaurant after she was served a dish that was so spicy it reportedly "permanently" harmed her, according to her claims. Dr. Harjasleen Walia, a board-certified neurologist in San Jose, is suing over Coup de Thai's Dragon Balls dish, which she ate in 2023, according to lawsuit documents obtained by the Mercury News. The lawsuit was filed in July 2023, but Walia made recent headlines after she elected to appear in court pro se this week. Walia has claimed that the Los Gatos restaurant's appetizer burned her vocal cords, esophagus and the inside of her right nostril. The Dragon Balls dish is made of "spicy chicken ball[s] fried with mint, shallot [and] green onion," according to Coup de Thai's website. The dish, which also features "cilantro, kaffir lime leaves, chili and rice powder," is served hot. The culprit in the meal is Thai chili, or bird's eye chili. Measuring between 50,000 to 100,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), the peppers are spicier than cayenne and serrano peppers but fall below habanero peppers. The lawsuit states, as the Mercury News reported, that Walia asked her server to make the dish with less spice because "she does not tolerate spicy foods." The server agreed, according to the lawsuit — but then Walia took a bite of the dish. Walia "felt her entire mouth, the roof of her mouth, her tongue, her throat and her nose burn like fire," according to the suit – to the point that her "eyes and nose watered, and she began coughing." The doctor also said she lost her voice and was diagnosed with internal "chemical burns" from the chilis in the dish. "[Walia] drank an entire glass of coconut water and more water, but the burning did not subside." "[She] incurred permanent injuries and will forever be damaged," the lawsuit claims. Walia's suit also claims that she asked a waitress for a dairy product to help with the burns, but no help came. No "milk, ice cream, yogurt, sour cream or other dairy product was provided or offered to Ms. Walia to quell the obvious burning," the suit said. "[Walia] drank an entire glass of coconut water and more water, but the burning did not subside." The lawsuit claims the dish in question was "unfit for human consumption." The restaurant "failed to take precautions by consulting with health officials or emergency service personnel regarding the risks associated with serving too much Thai chili in an appetizer like Dragon Balls," the lawsuit claims. No one else required medical attention due to the food, the restaurant said. Coup de Thai has denied causing any harm. A representative told the Mercury News the dish couldn't be made less spicy because the chili is inside the balls — and that no one else required medical attention due to the restaurant's food. Fox News Digital reached out to Walia and Coup de Thai for additional comment. Spice is a popular addition to liven up a dish. In 2019, a chef said that he temporarily lost his hearing after eating a spicy meal.

Trump administration rolls back guidance specifying that ERs must offer abortion care when necessary
The US Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said Tuesday that they were rescinding 2022 federal guidance to health care providers specifying that people should be able to access an abortion in the event of a medical emergency, even if state laws restrict such procedures. The previous guidance from the Biden administration does not 'reflect the policy of this Administration,' according to an announcement of the policy change. CMS added that it will continue to enforce the federal Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, known as EMTALA, and it specified that the policy included 'identified emergency medical conditions that place the health of a pregnant woman or her unborn child in serious jeopardy.' However, it remains unclear exactly what the change will mean for emergency care, particularly in states with highly restrictive abortion laws. EMTALA requires all US hospitals that have received Medicare money — essentially nearly all of them — to screen everyone who comes into their emergency rooms to determine whether the person has an emergency medical condition without regard for their ability to pay for services. The 1986 law also requires hospitals, to the best of their ability, to stabilize anyone who has an emergency medical condition or to transfer them to another facility that has that capacity. The hospitals must also treat these patients 'until the emergency medical condition is resolved or stabilized.' Pregnant people were singled out in 1989, after reports that some hospitals were refusing to care for uninsured women in labor. Congress expanded EMTALA to specify that it included people who were pregnant and having contractions. In 2021, the Biden administration released the Reinforcement of EMTALA Obligation, which says it is a doctor's duty to provide stabilizing treatment that 'preempts any directly conflicting state law or mandated that might otherwise prohibit or prevent such treatment,' although it did not specify whether an abortion had to be provided. In July 2022, weeks after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 ruling that gave pregnant people a constitutional right to an abortion, the Biden administration's guidance further clarified that EMTALA included the need to perform stabilization abortion care if it is medically necessary to treat an emergency medical condition. If a state law banned abortion and did not include an exception for the life or health of the pregnant person, that law was preempted by the federal statute. After Roe was overturned, several states passed highly restrictive abortion bans. Thirteen have total abortion bans, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research and policy organization focused on sexual and reproductive health that supports abortion rights. Twenty-eight states have abortion bans based on gestational duration: seven ban it at or before 18 weeks' gestation, and 21 states ban abortion at some point after 18 weeks. Idaho has one of the more restrictive laws, making it a felony to perform an abortion at any stage of pregnancy unless it was necessary to save the life of a pregnant person. In 2024, the US Supreme Court formally dismissed an appeal over Idaho's strict abortion ban. The decision was interpreted as meaning that pregnant people should be able to access an abortion in a medical emergency under EMTALA, but experts said that in reality, pregnant people were still being denied care. Some doctors even advised pregnant patients to buy life flight insurance in case they had an emergency complication that the doctors could not treat and the patient had to be flown out of state. In March, the Trump administration took a major step in support of states with abortion bans when it dropped a Biden-era lawsuit against Idaho that sought to protect abortion access in medical emergencies. Tuesday's announcement from CMS says the agency will 'work to rectify any perceived legal confusion and instability created by the former administration's actions.' The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, a professional organization that represents the majority of practitioners in the United States, was critical of the move. 'Rescinding guidance clarifying protections for the care of pregnant people experiencing emergencies is a poor decision that will undoubtedly endanger the lives and health of pregnant women, who are already facing difficulties accessing needed abortion care during obstetrical complications,' Molly Meegan, the group's chief legal officer and general counsel, said in an email Tuesday. She said the announcement will 'deepen confusion' about when emergency care is legal and exacerbate 'overwhelming barriers to care' for people across the US. 'Abortion is an essential part of medical care, and EMTALA protections should be afforded to all patients in need of emergency care, including abortion,' Meegan said. The ACLU, Democracy Forward and the National Women's Law Center, organizations that have advocated for pregnant people's right to an abortion, were also critical of the new decision, characterizing it as 'caving to its anti-abortion allies' and saying it's a reversal of Trump's campaign pledge that he wouldn't interfere with abortion access. 'The Trump administration cannot simply erase four decades of law protecting patients' lives with the stroke of a pen,' Alexa Kolbi-Molinas, deputy director of the ACLU's Reproductive Freedom Project, said in a statement. No matter where a person lives in the United States, Kolbi-Molinas said, they should have access to emergency care, and the ACLU will 'use every lever we have to keep President Trump and his administration from endangering our health and lives.' Fatima Goss Graves, president and CEO of the National Women's Law Center, called the administration hypocritical for its push for a new American 'baby boom' while making a decision that the group says will put people's lives at risk. 'To be clear: this action doesn't change hospitals' legal obligations, but it does add to the fear, confusion, and dangerous delays patients and providers have faced since the fall of Roe v. Wade,' Graves said in a statement.

5 things to know for June 3: Boulder attack, Oregon stabbing, Sudan, FEMA, Gun control
How do you take your coffee? I'd love to say I'm hardcore and drink it black, but I actually prefer milk and two sugars. That is, when I drink coffee at all. I prefer tea, both iced and hot, though I enjoy a cuppa joe once a month when I visit my favorite doughnut shop. That said, after reading this article, I may have to consider increasing my java consumption. It turns out that women who drink one to three cups of caffeinated coffee per day in their 50s are more likely to reach older age free from major chronic diseases and with good cognitive, physical and mental health. Here's what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day. Get '5 Things' in your inbox If your day doesn't start until you're up to speed on the latest headlines, then let us introduce you to your new favorite morning fix. Sign up here for the '5 Things' newsletter. The FBI is investigating a fiery attack in Boulder, Colorado, on Sunday as 'an act of terrorism.' A group of people were attending 'Run for Their Lives,' a weekly Jewish community event to support the hostages taken by Hamas during the October 7, 2023, attacks on Israel, when a shirtless man started using a 'makeshift flamethrower' and throwing Molotov cocktails at them. The suspect, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, who yelled 'Free Palestine!' during the attack, has been arrested and charged with a federal hate crime as well as several state crimes, including 16 counts of attempted first-degree murder. At least 12 people were injured in the antisemitic assault, which Soliman told authorities he'd been planning for a year. A man is accused of entering a homeless shelter in Salem, Oregon, on Sunday night, pulling out an 8-inch knife and attacking people with it. Several victims were stabbed in the initial assault, while others were wounded while trying to intervene, police said. The suspect, who was arrested and identified as Tony Williams, 42, then left the building and allegedly stabbed more people who were sitting outside the shelter. Eleven victims, including two shelter staff members, were taken to the hospital for treatment; a 12th victim was identified as officers interviewed witnesses. All of the victims were men between the ages of 26 and 57. A motive for the attack is unknown. The UN has described the civil war in Sudan as 'the most devastating humanitarian and displacement crisis in the world.' Since April 2023, two of the country's most powerful generals — Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, who leads the Sudanese Armed Forces, and former ally Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces — have engaged in a bloody feud over control of the country, and civilians have paid the price. Men and boys have been targeted and slain on ethnic grounds. Women and girls have been raped, abducted and forced into marriage. The death toll is still unknown. More than 14 million people have had to flee their homes and now suffer from a lack of shelter, food, running water, medical supplies and electricity. While the army has recently wrested control of Khartoum from the militia, more than two years of war have left the capital in ruin, with many civilians struggling with dehydration, disease and malnutrition.

Two weeks ago, the Department of Homeland Security replaced several veteran FEMA leaders with a half-dozen of its own officials, even though they had limited experience managing natural disasters. They are serving under the agency's new acting administrator, David Richardson, who is also a Homeland Security official with no prior experience in disaster relief. During a briefing on Monday morning, Richardson stunned FEMA staff when he admitted he was previously unaware the US had a hurricane season. While some staffers interpreted the remark as a joke, others said it raised concerns about Richardson's ability to lead the agency during such a critical time. This year's hurricane season, which started on June 1, is expected to be a busy one, with 13 to 19 named storms forecasted. Three to five of those storms may grow to major hurricanes of Category 3 or stronger. The Supreme Court has declined to hear two Second Amendment challenges, which means both laws will remain in place. One of the appeals dealt with Maryland's law banning certain semi-automatic weapons, such as AR- and AK-style rifles. The law was enacted after the deadly 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut. The Supreme Court also declined to hear a challenge to Rhode Island's ban on high-capacity gun magazines. Conservative Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented from the court's decision not to hear the cases.
