It was not exactly a relaxing Memorial Day weekend for many in downtown Los Angeles.  A rowdy crowd took to the streets spraying graffiti on businesses and anything in their path, including a commuter train terrifying everyone on board. As Lisa Guerrero reports, considering the mayhem and all the police officers on hand, many are wondering why there were no arrests. And there's a new crypto crime wave happening across the country, with thieves targeting unsuspecting victims to get their Bitcoin passwords - gaining instant access to their fortunes.  In New York City, the suspect didn't even have time to put clothes on before being arrested. He was barefoot and in his bathrobe when he was charged with kidnapping and torturing a business partner, allegedly to get his Bitcoin password. As Ann Mercogliano reports, cops say he didn't act alone.  Plus, a little girl ended up in the ICU after being attacked by a rattlesnake. She was with her mom in the backyard when the snake lunged, biting her on the foot, twice! She needed 20 vials of anti-venom to recover. Alison Hall spoke with her now-very relieved mom.  And three more of those ten inmates who escaped from a New Orleans jail were recaptured over the weekend - leaving just two still on the run.

As Steven Fabian reports, with two separate jail breaks in just days, many are asking- how secure are our jails?
