Florence Police K-9 catches man in crawl space
FLORENCE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Florence Police Department says a man who hid under a house was captured with the help of a K-9 on Saturday. According to FPD, officers responded to the 1500 block of Houston Street for an in-progress domestic violence call. When they arrived, FPD said Robert Vanegas ran and hid beneath a nearby house. Officers found Vanegas hiding inside a crawl space, but said he refused to come out and tried to hide himself further. Sergeant Garrison and his K-9 partner, Aero, arrived on the scene. After failing to get Vanegas to come out, Sgt. Garrison, Aero and Officer Potts entered the crawl space. Using a taser proved to be ineffective due to the hanging insulation, exposed wires and limited space. Authorities said Vanegas moved even deeper into the crawl space. After continuing to ignore commands to surrender, FPD said Aero was deployed and bit Vanegas, causing a minor injury to his leg. EMS later treated him on scene, and no other medical attention was needed. FPD said Vanegas then surrendered and was safely removed from the crawl space by officers. Authorities said Vanegas was arrested for two active warrants and resisting arrest. He was taken to the Lauderdale County Detention Center, where he is being held on a $2,500 bond.

California gun control bill that could ban popular Glock pistol sales moves forward
( — A bill that could ban the sale of the most popular handgun in the U.S. is potentially on its way to becoming law after it passed through the California State Assembly on Tuesday. Assembly Bill 1127, also referred to by many people as the Glock Ban Bill, was authored by Jesse Gabriel (D-Encino) and would prohibit licensed firearms dealers from selling guns that can be 'easily converted by hand or with common household tools' into a machine gun. Although the Glock isn't specifically mentioned in the written legislation, it falls into that category of firearms. New gun laws won't be enforced by Sutter County Sheriff's Office 'I am pleased to be presenting AB 1127, which will protect communities from mass shootings and gun violence by encouraging gun manufacturers to prevent the conversion of their firearms to dangerous automatic weapons,' Gabriel said during an Assembly Standing Committee hearing. He continued, 'Automatic weapons are exceptionally lethal and capable of firing hundreds of rounds per minute. They are illegal in California. Unfortunately, some semi-automatic firearms feature a dangerous design flaw that allows them to be converted to fully automatic weapons through an attachment of a cheap and easy-to-use device, known as a switch.' Northern California police warn of $1,000 fine per illegal firework amid Fourth of July holiday The Glock is infamous for its easy-alteration capabilities by using a 'Glock switch'. In 2022, a converted Glock was reportedly used in a mass shooting that occurred just blocks from the California State Capitol Building. It left six people dead and several others injured. 'Sadly, certain companies in the gun industry have known about this issue for decades and have done nothing meaningful to address it,' Gabriel said. 'This common-sense legislation will ensure that the gun industry is held accountable and that we're doing everything we possibly can to protect our communities from mass shootings.' AB 1127 is supported by organizations like Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund, and Voices for Progress. However, other groups such as the National Association for Gun Rights and Gun Owners of California Inc. are in opposition. 'AB 1127 is a blatant attack on your right to own one of the most common self-defense firearms in America,' Gun Owners of California said on social media before the bill passed through the Assembly. 'This bill targets semiautomatic pistols used by millions of law-abiding gun owners—and it's being pushed under the false pretense of 'safety'.' NAGR vowed to fight back against the proposed legislation. 'California (is) pushing rapidly towards a total ban of Glock pistols,' NAGR said on social media. 'The most popular firearm in the country. If you think there is a line they will not cross, think again.' AB 1127 passed on a vote of 58-17, with Democrat support and Republican opposition. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
