FBI agents arrested Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Douglas Teixeira at a home in North Dighton, Massachusetts, on Thursday in connection with a trove of classified documents that have been leaked online in recent months. Attorney General Merrick Garland said that Teixeira, 21, is being investigated for the "alleged unauthorized removal, retention, and transmission of classified national defense information."   

Assembly Bill 109 passed a dozen years ago, orders non-violent offenders to serve their sentences in the county jail instead of state prison. AB 109 significantly changed state law by shifting the burden to incarcerate most felons from the state to individual counties. At the time, the Legislature claimed that the shift was necessary to combat prison overcrowding. Tulare County D.A. Tim Ward called in to discuss AB109 & 31-year-old Timothy Bethlell, a serial business burglar. In less than two years he's pleaded guilty to 39 felony charges in three separate court cases. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco says Bethell wound up serving just three days in jail due to limited bed space.
