South East High School principal Jesus I. Angulo, 35, and assistant principal Maria Sotomayor, 36, allegedly knew that a substitute teacher had sex with a female student last March, but failed to report it.

Man arrested in death of business owner - A man who allegedly killed the owner of a fortune-telling business when he firebombed her Hollywood store was in custody Thursday in Arizona.

Siganoff turned himself in Monday night at the Maricopa County sheriff’s facility in Phoenix, Ariz. According to police, the motive for the crime “was related to an ongoing dispute between two families within the Hollywood Gypsy community.”

Pursuit ends in Krispy Kreme Crash - A pursuit suspect was critically injured Thursday when he lost control and crashed into a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop in Orange.

It was not immediately known why police were chasing the SUV or where the pursuit began. The driver was taken to a hospital in critical condition and two passengers were hospitalized with moderate injuries. No one inside the Krispy Kreme was injured.
