On July 28, Robert Briseno was found not guilty on two counts of battery by a Mendocino County jury, four months after his arrest. Briseno and Jesus Martinez were arrested in April on suspi- cion of assault with a deadly weapon, participation in a crimi- nal street gang and conspiracy following a fight in the parking lot of Lucky’s grocery store on Perkins Street in late March. During a search of the homes of Martinez and Briseno, offi- cers also found marijuana plants and charged them with pos- session as well. Briseno said the fight at Lucky’s did not occur the way Ukiah Police Department officers reported it. Briseno said he had gone into Lucky’s to pick up some groceries when he ran into Jose and Arnulfo Barajas. Briseno said the two men made threatening gestures at him and then tried to pick a fight with him in the parking lot. “They started a fight with me,” Briseno said. Briseno said Martinez got involved to try and pull one of the two men off Briseno’s back, at which point Martinez was attacked. Both Briseno and Martinez left the parking lot after the fight, before UPD officers arrived. Briseno said there were no weapons involved in the fight and that surveillance tapes from Lucky’s did not show any weapon. “It was a regular fistfight,” he said. Briseno was acquitted on the battery charges, the only ones he was eventually tried on, but said he is still facing charges for Ben Brown/The Daily Journal Rebecca Kress of the Russian River Clean-up holds open a gate that a homeless camper built across a trail the marijuana he had in his home.

Martinez said he has a lengthy criminal record which includes a “strike” charge under California’s “three strikes” law and could have faced up to 14-years in prison if convicted. “I wasn’t going to take that chance,” he said. “I’m not doing 14-years for trying to break up a fight,” Talmage Road Bridge As a part of his deal, prosecutors also dropped the marijua- na charges against Martinez, contingent on his giving up the By BEN BROWN marijuana that was seized from his apartment.

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the let- ters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.

It also scares off or kills birds that eat crops and could cause crashes at air- ports, bears that strip the bark off young trees, and foxes, ravens and other wildlife that prey on endangered animals. Wildlife Services reported it spent $117 million last year, of which $56 million came from states, counties, agriculture groups and private property owners. While the total number of animals reported killed is down from 2.7 million in 2004, the number of carnivores, such as wolves, coyotes and foxes, has been rising steadily, according to an analysis by WildEarth Guardians. The number was 102,345 in 2004, and 121,520 in 2007. The vast majority of the 2.4 million animals killed in 2007 were birds -- 2.1 million, including 1 million starlings.
