Mail carrier caught on camera pepper-spraying Rancho Cordova resident's cat
A Rancho Cordova resident says his cat was pepper-sprayed by the neighborhood postman. Chris Commander, Xena's owner, says he heard the carrier yelling at the cat on his Ring camera. After going outside, Commander says he discovered Xena appeared to have been pepper-sprayed. Commander says the carrier denied it, saying he was a cat person himself. "I don't see why you'd spray a cat that just wanted to be pet," Commander told CBS News Sacramento. "It was just frustrating and kind of sad to see that." The 15-year-old cat is OK. Commander says he reached out to the U.S. Postal Service and they said they are looking into the incident. "The United States Postal Service holds its employees to high standards of conduct and any actions that conflict with these values are taken seriously," USPS said in a statement. Mail carriers are equipped with repellent spray and a whistle, as told to CBS News Sacramento after another incident involving a pet and a mail carrier in the Sacramento area earlier in the year.

Golden State's best offer to Jonathan Kuminga reportedly two years, $40 million, well below what he seeks
There are other restricted free agents still hanging out in the wind without a contract, but none have been quite as dramatic as the stalemate between Jonathan Kuminga and the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors' offers to Kuminga have topped out at two years, $40 million, reports Marc Stein in his Substack. That is well short of the at least three years and closer to $30 million a season that Kuminga reportedly is seeking. This has Kuminga and his representatives still looking for a sign-and-trade, and they spoke recently with the Kings' front office, reports Anthony Slater of ESPN. Theoretically, Sacramento could offer a contract closer to Kuminga's desired terms, along with a larger role in the offense. However, assembling a sign-and-trade deal with Golden State would be a challenge. At best. The Warriors want a first-round pick and a promising young player in any trade for Kuminga, plus they don't want to take back any long-term bad contracts. It's unlikely any team would give up a first-round pick for Kuminga at this point, at least one that wasn't heavily protected. As for the young player, the Kings are not deep with those kinds of guys. Sacramento isn't surrendering Keegan Murray, so that leaves players such as Devin Carter or just-drafted Nique Clifford, and the Kings aren't eager to include them either. This likely gets resolved closer to the start of training camp, with Kuminga accepting the very tradable two-year contract but at a slightly higher price point than has been offered (not wrapping up Kuminga has the Warriors in limbo, not having signed guys lined up already such as Al Horford and De'Anthony Melton, because they need to see where they are after the Kuminga signing). The challenge is that Steve Kerr will have to highlight Kuminga and give him a real chance — and stick with him through some mistakes. That's challenging on a roster with Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler as primary ball handlers and the guys who should have the ball in their hands. Plus, Kuminga is really best at the four, but that is Draymond Green's slot, and Kerr can't play Kuminga (30.5% from 3 last season) and Green (32.5%) together because of the lack of shooting. Kuminga and the Warriors may be a marriage of convenience to start the season, but it may be the only option for the two sides that makes any sense.

Two Sacramento residents sentenced to prison for false income tax returns
( — Two Sacramento residents were sentenced to prison for a false income tax return scheme, Acting U.S. Attorney Kimberly announced on Monday. According to the United States Department of Justice, Dominic Davis, 40, and Sharitia Wright, 61, both of Sacramento, were sentenced to federal prison for conspiring to file false claims. Davis received a sentence of three years and four months in jail, and Wright received a sentence of one year and three months in jail. Mother-son duo sentenced to prison for inmate unemployment insurance claims According to USDOJ, the court documents showed that between March 2019 and April 2022, Davis and Wright caused at least nine fraudulent income-tax returns to be filed with the IRS, claiming more than $2 million of income tax refunds. The returns had been filed in both Davis, Wright, and family members and listed wages that taxpayers did not receive, officials said. Many of the returns listed the taxpayers' employer as one of the various LLCs created by Davis, Wright, and their family members. Many of the returns, the USDOJ said that had falsely claimed charitable contributions that were not made. Davis had prepared and filed the false tax returns. Wright provided him with information and contacted the Internal Revenue Service to check on the status of the refunds that were claimed in the false tax returns. The USDOJ said both of them have been ordered to pay restitution for the fraudulent income tax refunds that they had received. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Sacramento eyes light rail parking lot for people sleeping in vehicles
Each night, there are more than 400 people sleeping in cars on Sacramento streets. Now, a new plan is being unveiled that would give them a safe place to park, but not everyone's on board with where it could be located. Sacramento Regional Transit (SacRT) officials discussed reserving more than 100 parking spaces at the Franklin Light Rail Station off Cosumnes River Boulevard for people living in cars, vans and RVs to sleep. "There's really not a legal place for you to park your vehicle if you're living in it," said Caity Maple, a regional transit board member. Brian Pedro, director of the Sacramento Department of Community Response, said his department estimates around 450 families are living in their vehicles across the city. His department and SacRT are working together on what they're calling the Safe Parking site. SacRT said the parking lot has 668 spaces and is never full. The proposal would use about 140 of these spaces to accommodate up to 80 vehicles. "We're not looking to make this an RV park," Pedro said. "We are looking for a safe spot for them to park that's off the road." The site does not directly back up to any homes or businesses. It would feature portable restrooms, running water, showers, and 24-hour security. Some city leaders say it will help clean up clusters of people camping in cars. "This makes sense to me," SacRT board member Roger Dickinson said. "I think we all observe what we see on our streets." But other SacRT board members are worried about the impact on light rail riders. "I have some concerns about this," board member Anna Rohrbough said. "One of our goals here is to increase ridership, and I could see this doing the opposite, having the opposite effect." People will have to be invited into the site by outreach workers, and vehicles must have current registration. It's Sacramento's latest idea to help support people struggling to afford permanent housing. "This is yet another tool for us to be able to help pull some people off the street and get them into a safer space," Pedro said. The city and SacRT will need to get approval from federal transportation officials before moving forward with the program. Sacramento County is also planning on opening a car camping site along Watt Avenue in North Highlands later this year.
