New charges have been filed against David Allen Funston as he was set to be released on parole yesterday. Prosecutors now accuse him in a 1996 kidnapping and child molestation case in Roseville. CDCR confirmed he was scheduled for release under California’s Elderly Parole Program but was instead turned over to Placer County authorities on a new arrest warrant. He’s expected to be arraigned next week.
And the Christian Brothers High School community is mourning the loss of freshman varsity basketball player Jaden DeJesus-Eves. The 6-foot-8 student-athlete was known as a gentle giant on and off the court. The cause of death has not yet been confirmed.

Sacramento County’s Public Defender’s Office is receiving statewide recognition — earning a 2025 Challenge Award from the California State Association of Counties for its Juvenile Pre-Trial Program. Launched in 2023, the program connects youth with social workers to assess trauma, mental health, education, and family needs — helping reduce detention time and repeat custody through early support services.
