This week Dan Miller shares his experience participating in a candidates discussion with the editors of the Monterey County Weekly. On September 3, 39-year-old Vicente Arroyo of Salinas was arrested on suspicion of killing 80 animals at a property on Avery Lane in Prunedale. According to anonymous Monterey County Sheriffs Department sources, deputies on the scene were ordered by their command staff to NOT engage the shooter. At the time of this command, it was believed by sheriff's personnel that humans were being shot and killed by an assailant. Join us for the chilling details that will shock the senses. All that and more on this week's What's the Plan?
