Gang members arrested with assault and ghost guns in Yuba County, deputies say
(FOX40.COM) — Two documented gang members were arrested during a probation search for the possession of several ghost guns, according to the Yuba County Sheriff's Office.
On April 17, the YCSO and Yuba County Probation Department searched near the 5900 block of Park Avenue. There, two documented Norteño criminal street gang members, an 18-year-old man and a juvenile, were found in possession of illegal guns. One firearm was an assault rifle, and the other was a Polymer80 handgun, commonly known as a 'ghost gun' because of its lack of a serial number, making it untraceable.
Both individuals were arrested and face multiple firearms-related charges, including gangenhancement allegations.

Murder trial of former MLB pitcher: Emails show a bitter family divide before Lake Tahoe shooting
( — On its ninth day, the murder trial of Daniel Serafini is uncovering deep-rooted tensions and long-standing disputes within his family. The prosecution says dysfunction, accusations, and financial strife all culminated in the 2021 fatal shooting of his father-in-law, Robert Spohr, and the critical injury of his mother-in-law, Wendy Wood. During Tuesday's proceedings at Placer County Superior Court, jurors were presented with pages of emails exchanged between family members in the years and months leading up to the shooting. The prosecutor argues that these messages support his theory: that Daniel was motivated by family tension and financial strain. The emails revealed intense arguments over vacation plans in Hawaii, business arrangements, and claims that Serafini and his wife, Erin, owed Wendy and Robert roughly $1.3 million. The tone of the emails ranged from bitter to explosive-laced with insults, profanity, and emotional outbursts. In one exchange, Wendy accused Daniel of being 'vicious and belligerent.' Daniel fired back, saying that if Robert continued to insult him, he would 'Knock him the (expletive) out.'. Erin, Serafini's wife, expressed to her mother in one email that the family disputes had grown so severe, she was seeking a therapist to present the emails to and have them weigh in on whether it was safe to continue allowing her son to spend time with his grandparents. These email exchanges were mostly dated from 2016 to 2021 and show how tensions escalated in the months leading up to the shooting in the couple's Lake Tahoe area home. Justin Infante, a Placer County District Attorney Investigator, also testified about sexually explicit messages between Serafini and Samantha Scott, his alleged accomplice, sent in the years following the shooting. Some of the text messages referenced the use of molly (MDMA), cocaine and Adderall when the two planned to meet up or go on dates. In addition, the court reviewed cell phone activity logs. They showed that Serafini regularly sent numerous messages in the 30 days prior to, and 30 days after the shooting, sometimes more than 100. However, the day of the shooting, June 5, 2021, is what stood out. On that date, records show Serafini had sent zero messages. His phone also registered no steps or physical movement, raising questions about his whereabouts and activities during the time of the murder. The trial is set to resume on Thursday at 8:30 am.
