Death threats
Sophia Louise Lamas, 23, a transient, was arrested by Hollister police around 12:25pm on Tuesday for issuing death threats, a felony, after she became upset that a San Benito County Superior Court judge awarded guardianship of her 2-year-old daughter to the child’s paternal grandparents, police said.
