A 20-year-old Hollister man died in a solo car accident Sunday evening, according to authorities.

As San Benito County supervisors work this week to cut an additional $1.7 million from an already tight budget, they had started off the week with the intent to leave the district attorney's budget as is.

San Benito County supervisors approved a temporary due pass for the San Benito County Sheriff's Office operations budget during the second day of budget hearings Tuesday. The supervisors had originally been looking at cutting the budget by $230,000 by eliminating two deputy sheriff positions in order to balance part of a $1.7 million deficit remaining in the county budget.

On July 25, Hollister Police officers arrested Stephanie Partida, 25, in connection to an alleged stabbing in the 700 block of Busby Court. Police officers were called to the 700 block of Busby Court at about 11:50 p.m. for a report of a loud domestic argument. Upon arrival, officers found a blood trail leading to the front door of the apartment. Officers also observed a large amount of blood on the floor of the residence through a window.
