Hollister police officers arrested a 34-year-old male on Monday for obstruction of a police officer, battery of a police officer and a felony probation violation.

Hollister Police Department is seeking the public’s help in identifying a burglary suspect who has twice shoplifted beer from a local grocery store.

While police were outside a residence checking out a stolen motorcycle, another jacked street bike pulled into the driveway last weekend, authorities said.

Julie Morris: “The death penalty is expensive, fallible and unjust. Since 1978 thirteen executions have cost California taxpayers $4 billion, money siphoned from public safety and schools. We pay roughly $100 million annually for each of the 720 inmates on death row and it takes an average of 25 years to get from conviction to execution, delaying justice for victims' families. California can't afford the death penalty: it's much more cost effective to sentence dangerous criminals to life in prison without possibility of parole and start using taxpayer dollars on programs that benefit law abiding Californians.”
