Cannabis grow house with more than 2 dozen adult plants discovered in the Bronx, NYC Sheriff's Office says - CBS News

FORDHAM, The Bronx (WABC) -- A suspected illegal cannabis grow house containing 30 marijuana plants was discovered in a Marion Avenue apartment in the Bronx when a city marshal was carrying out an eviction, according to the New York City Sheriff's Office. Residents of the building said the odor coming from the apartment had been overwhelming for months, with some fearing it posed a safety risk. "Not safe for the building - the whole building gotta be smelling that," one resident said. Another resident said, "I'm thinking that there was a dead corpse here somewhere - when I find out it's a freaking drug lab yo! "Authorities confiscated 30 cannabis plants from the apartment. Neighbors said the operation appeared extensive despite being run out of a small unit. Evelyn Arredondo, who lives next door to the apartment, said she had previously reported concerns about the smell to the Fire Department of New York. "Itch my throat, my eyes and my nose. And just I called the fire department - you know - I said maybe there's gas around but they didn't find nothing," Arredondo said. FDNY crews returned Monday with hazardous materials trucks after the grow operation was discovered.

The accidental shooting happened on Oct. 1 when the child's parents entered a store and left him inside the family's car by himself, the sheriff's office said in a release. According to investigators, the child's father left an unsecured handgun in the center console of the vehicle. The child then found the gun and accidentally caused it to fire, leading to a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the face, the sheriff's office said. Later, investigators were called to the Harlingen Medical Center, and they began investigating how the 4-year-old, who was rushed to the hospital by his parents, ended up shot in the face. The sheriff's office said it pieced together the tragic incident after obtaining statements, reviewing camera footage, and collecting other evidence.

A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy working as a guard at Twin Towers Correctional Facility used force against inmate Jeffrey Fairchild, allegedly smashing him face-first into a metal window frame and causing him to fall to the concrete floor, according to federal monitors overseeing conduct by deputies in L. A. County jails. The force of the impact left Fairchild a quadriplegic after the September 2024 incident, his family members said. He was taken to a hospital and remained under close medical care until April 21, 2025, when he suffered a heart attack and died at St. Mary Medical Center in Long Beach. In the wake of Fairchild’s death, his family members filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles County, Eric Barraza — the deputy who the monitors said used force against Fairchild — and a number of unnamed deputies who were working in the jail that day. The suit, filed in U. S. District Court in Los Angeles, claims that Barraza used excessive and unreasonable force, and that Fairchild’s death from complications stemming from the incident was wrongful.
