'If we don't come downtown, if we don't go into all areas of Oakland where there are Black businesses, we're not gonna make it and we can't stay home,' Adams said. 'That means when one of ours is attacked, we've got to come and fight for them.'
Chef Rene Johnson of Blackberry Soul Fine Catering in Oakland told KRON4 that the local community won't let Friday night's violence define the Oakland community.
'Oakland has got it going on and we're gonna let that be our claim to fame,' Johnson said. 'We're not going to let what's going on, or people who come in and make a bad decision make it about that. We're going to make it about us. We're going to make it about Oakland.'

Traffic stop turns into drug arrest
Jun. 13—After a speeding stop turned into a drug search, a 38-year-old Kalispell woman is facing several drug charges in Lincoln County. According to police reports, on July 10, 2024, a Lincoln County Sheriff's deputy stopped a Black 2012 Honda Accord traveling south on U.S. 2, going 60 mph in a 50 mph zone. The driver of the vehicle provided the registration but not a license or insurance. The two women in the car were identified, one of them being Kystal Marie Fuller, who had a warrant out for her arrest. Fuller was arrested, and a K9 unit did a positive sweep of the car. The vehicle was seized, and deputies found suspected fentanyl, a scale, razor, fentanyl pills, a loaded syringe, a meth pipe and meth, drug paraphernalia, another man's wallet, Xanax, suboxone strips, oxycodone pills, Fuller's Venmo card, $367 in cash and two torches. Fuller told police that she found the wallet on the highway and intended to return it to the owner. In the initial appearance in court on May 6, Fuller was charged with criminal possession of drugs with intent to distribute (fentanyl) and criminal possession of a dangerous drug. She faces up to $55,000 in fines and a jail term of up to 45 years, with a minimum of two years. She posted the $50,000.
