3 officers needed to take DUI suspect into custody: Delano PD
Roberto Rodriguez Zamora allegedly pulled away from officers and told them he wasn't under arrest, grabbing one of them by the hand during the struggle, police say in a court filing.
Zamora, 44, was eventually placed in handcuffs and taken to Delano Police Department. He told police he drank one alcoholic beverage.
The arrest occurred the evening of April 3 after police were dispatched to the intersection of 6th Avenue and Yahweh Court for a collision involving two cars. Zamora and a woman were contacted.

The woman complained of chest pain and was taken to Kern Medical.
The officer who spoke with Zamora noticed he had trouble maintaining his balance and smelled of alcohol, according to the filing. Police say he refused to perform field sobriety tests or provide a breath sample.
When told he was under arrest, Zamora argued he wasn't and pulled away, initiating the struggle, according to the filing. A warrant was later obtained to draw his blood for alcohol testing.

Ex-Wisconsin players say in lawsuit that former coach Marisa Moseley psychologically abused them
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Five former Wisconsin women's basketball players have filed a lawsuit saying they received psychological abuse from ex-Badgers coach Marisa Moseley and that the university responded with 'a policy of laissez-faire inaction.' The lawsuit filed Friday in federal court lists the Wisconsin Board of Regents, Moseley and former Wisconsin associate athletic director for external communications Justin Doherty as defendants. The plaintiffs are Lexi Duckett, Krystyna Ellew, Mary Ferrito, Tara Stauffacher and Tessa Towers. The lawsuit was first reported by the Wisconsin State Journal. Moseley announced in March that she was resigning for personal reasons. She went 47-75 in four seasons. In their complaint, the plaintiffs say Moseley 'unconstitutionally toyed with the mental health of her players, including Plaintiffs, as a means of exerting control over every facet of their lives, including retaliating against them based on their protected speech and expressive acts and discriminating against them based on their disabilities or perceived disabilities.' They say Moseley intruded on players' privacy in one-on-one meetings by 'pressuring them to divulge everything from issues with their parents or romantic partners to their confidential mental health symptoms and treatment choices.' 'Moseley accomplished all of this by abusing her position of power by making threats about scholarships and playing time, and manipulating her players, claiming that she was simply 'building trust' with them on and off the court,' the complaint states. For example, the complaint says Ellew was experiencing a mental health event when Moseley kept her alone in the back of a locker room and threatened to notify police unless she agreed to check into a mental health facility. According to the complaint, several players and their parents reported abuse allegations to Doherty, who retired earlier this year. The complaint says Wisconsin adopted 'a policy of laissez-faire inaction' rather than intervening to protect the players. Wisconsin didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment. In January, Wisconsin officials said they were looking into allegations Towers had posted on social media saying she was mistreated by Moseley and her staff. The lawsuit filed Friday alleges that Towers was placed on 11 new medications in less than a year after she disclosed her ADHD diagnosis. The complaint says Towers' mental health deteriorated as Moseley singled her out. 'Tessa's teammates found Moseley's behavior towards their friend and teammate disturbing,' the complaint says. 'Her teammates knew about Tessa's ADHD, and they watched their coach bully her because of it. Then, as they witnessed Tessa's mental health problems escalating in multiple crises, they observed their coach's behavior grow even worse. They could do nothing about it since Moseley threatened to reduce their playing time if they visited Tessa in the mental health facility or continued their friendships with her.' Moseley stepped down following a 13-16 season that ended with a first-round loss in the Big Ten Tournament. Wisconsin has since hired former Missouri coach Robin Pingeton to take over the program. ___

Fired Michigan coach Chris Partridge thanks NCAA after having his name ‘cleared'
Chris Partridge, the former Michigan assistant coach who was fired amid the university's NCAA compliance scrutiny, celebrated his name being 'cleared.' The ex-Michigan coach, who is now the outside linebackers coach of the Seattle Seahawks, spoke out regarding his 2023 dismissal after Michigan was hit Friday with a fine of at least $20 million by the NCAA in the alleged Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal. Partridge was fired two years ago for reportedly failing to 'abide by the University directive not to discuss an ongoing NCAA investigation with anyone associated with the Michigan Football Program,' according to his termination letter. Advertisement Linebackers Coach Chris Partridge speaks with Michael Barrett of the Blue Team during the second quarter of the Michigan Football spring game at Michigan Stadium on April 1, 2023 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Getty Images The new NCAA report said Partridge will receive no punishment in the scandal. The NCAA noted that 'although questions remain about Partridge's knowledge of the impermissible scouting scheme, there is insufficient information to reasonably conclude that Partridge attempted to influence a student-athlete to lie about it to the enforcement staff.' Advertisement In a brief but pointed statement, Partridge addressed an investigation, saying he was 'grateful' for the NCAA's 'thorough' work. Former coach Jim Harbaugh, who led the team at the time of the alleged scheme, received a 10-year show-cause penalty beginning Aug. 7, 2028. Current Michigan coach Sherrone Moore was given an extra one-game suspension for the 2026 season opener on top of the self-imposed Weeks 3 and 4 ban.

Getty Images ESPN reported that Michigan's fines are supposed to go to the NCAA Student Assistance Fund, which is intended to help Division I college athletes 'with needs that arise during college that fall outside of expenses covered by traditional scholarships.' Partridge is entering his second year on the Seahawks staff, a tenure that followed his one year as the Michigan linebackers coach. Advertisement Previously, he had other roles on the Michigan staff from 2015-19, including director of player personnel and special teams coordinator. He was also co-defensive coordinator at Ole Miss from 2020-22.

UFC suspends Alvin Hines for failed drug test
UFC heavyweight Alvin Hines has been suspended one year. UFC anti-doping program Combat Sports Anti-Doping (CSAD) announced Friday that Hines (7-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) tested positive for anabolic steroids Drostanolone and testosterone in an out-of-competition drug test June 20 and out-of-competition tests June 28 and July 5. According to CSAD, Hines knowingly took the prohibited substances prior to his UFC signing but purposefully did not disclose their use on his promotional onboarding form. Since Hines was cooperative with the investigation, he received a one-year suspension that will terminate on July 11, 2026. Hines, 33, took his debut fight on short notice against Jhonata Diniz at UFC 317 in June. He lost by unanimous decision but was praised for the heart and durability he showed over the course of the three-round bout. Hines has not publicly commented on the drug test failure.
