Lowrider Lane street sign stolen from Sacramento's Miller Park

For decades, Sacramento's Miller Park has been a popular spot for cruising in cars. "When the weather's good, we come out here with our families, take a drive," said Francine Mata, president of the Sacramento Lowrider Commission. Last year, custom car clubs successfully worked with city leaders to change the name of the street that runs through the park to Lowrider Lane. But now, less than a year after the new street sign went up, it's been stolen. "It's just heartbreaking to look over there and see it's not there anymore," Mata said. Mata said her organization helped raise money to make the name change. "The community came together and donated," Mata said. "It was $10,400." She first noticed the sign missing this past Sunday and said the theft took place sometime within the last week. "I always felt that's something that you don't touch," Mata said. "It's pretty sacred for our community." Cruising had been banned in Sacramento for more than 30 years, but in 2022, the law was repealed. Mata said that renaming the street where cruisers traditionally gathered is a recognition and acceptance of Sacramento's car club history. "There are so many people that don't understand why we do what we do, don't know the culture," she said. The city said it's working on replacing the stolen sign, which will cost about $200. Mata said she has no idea if the sign was taken by a lowrider enthusiast or someone opposed to the name change. She just wants the original sign returned. "It means a lot to our entire community," she said. "Just bring it back." The city said public works crews will be placing the new street sign in a more secure bracket to deter theft.

Alexis Martin, prominent antitrafficking activist, released from prison

AKRON, Ohio — Alexis Martin, a prominent antitrafficking activist, was ordered released from prison Monday following more than a decade of lobbying from advocates, legislators and celebrities, who argued courts should do more to protect, rather than punish, child trafficking survivors who commit crimes related to their abuse. An Ohio judge's decision to suspend Martin's sentence and free her on judicial release was the result of an agreement in which Martin pleaded guilty to lesser charges, including involuntary manslaughter, for her role in the death of her alleged abuser when she was 15. The case has been closely watched by those pushing the criminal justice system to give more leeway to trafficking victims.
