Reed’s vehicle, however, was found in the parking lot near the trailhead on the following day, according to authorities.
Authorities initially launched a search for another man who the vehicle was also registered to, but later learned that Reed had entered the park using a pass issued to the man, AZFamily reported.

A hefty feline weighing 26 pounds is now on the road to recovery.
The black house cat, Tanglewood, was in great need of care, so he was brought to Austin Pets Alive, an animal shelter in Austin, Texas, with lifesaving programs designed to save animals at risk of being euthanized.
Luis Sanchez, director of public relations at Austin Pets Alive, told Fox News Digital via email that Tanglewood is now in foster care with the shelter’s cat adoption manager.

“We are still monitoring him for seizures while we work to determine the cause, but we are focusing on his neurological symptoms and his broken front leg,” said Sanchez.
“After he starts feeling better, we will be his cheerleaders to get him on a weight loss plan and get him down a few pounds,” he added.

A domestic cat should weigh about 8 to 10 pounds, depending on the breed, according to the ASPCA.

“He had a fractured leg when we picked him up, and then … over the course of a couple of days, he started developing some neurological symptoms that resulted in seizures,” Allie Dono, the cat specialty populations coordinator at Austin Pets Alive, told FOX 7 Austin.
“One of the seizures was so intense that he ended up fracturing his jaw, so we had to put a jaw wire in.”
The ASPCA notes that obesity is a very common problem in pets and can be detrimental to a cat or dog’s health.
An overweight pet has many added stresses upon its body and is at an increased risk of diabetes, liver problems and joint pain, according to the ASPCA.

Tanglewood will need a dedicated adopter who will make sure he sticks to his new diet plan.
“We are grateful to our team for stepping in quickly and we are looking for an adoptive home for this lovable and friendly chonk,” Sanchez said.

Southern California man hospitalized after suspect steals coffee cart, leads police on wild chase
![Southern California man hospitalized after suspect steals coffee cart, leads police on wild chase Southern California man hospitalized after suspect steals coffee cart, leads police on wild chase](https://ktla.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2024/07/snapshot-16-3.jpg?w=900)
A man who was hospitalized after a suspect stole a coffee cart with him inside and led officers on a wild, multi-county pursuit recalls the terrifying ordeal.
“I thought I was going to die,” said the victim, Derek Strano, 37.
On July 16, the suspect, Liam Preston Yanez, 28, jumped into a pickup truck that was also towing a coffee service trailer in Moorpark.
Little did the suspect know, Strano was still inside the coffee cart. At the time, Strano had gone inside the cart to prepare a drink for a family member who had arrived home for surgery.
As the truck suddenly took off, Strano was taken on a violent, wild ride through Ventura and Los Angeles counties as police officers chased the stolen truck.
“I feel the truck moving and I had been in there for two minutes,” Strano recalled. “I thought I had the parking brake off, but then the truck blows through the fence. It was hell.”
Video of the chase showed the suspect driving erratically as the coffee cart swerved dangerously behind.
Strano held on for life, grabbing a sink inside the coffee cart as the chase became more chaotic. Eventually, Strano could not hold on any longer.
“He took a turn and the side door was ripped off and I flew out of it when he made that turn,” Strano said.
The coffee cart later overturned as the suspect crashed the pickup truck into the Heartfelt Education through the Arts Center building in North Hollywood.
Strano was left hospitalized with serious injuries after the ordeal. The incident left him with severe pain and limited his mobility.
Strano said he’s also been suffering from nightmares and flashbacks to the night of the crash.
The suspect, Yanez, was arrested on several felony charges including unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle and receiving stolen property. He is being held on $20,000 bail.
Strano, however, believes those charges are not enough for the damage caused.
“His charges, not one of them are for my injuries,” Strano said. “My name isn’t in the report. I was just a worker, the assistant, and it kind of got to me.”
For now, Strano is focused on recovering and is undergoing physical therapy. He said he may also consider psychological therapy as well.
A GoFundMe page to help Strano with his medical bills can be found here.

Rapper faces prison for trying to board LAX flight with loaded semiautomatic pistol

A rapper faces prison time after he attempted to board a flight with a loaded pistol at Los Angeles International Airport.
Tiwan Raybon, 36, of Douglasville, Georgia, also known as “Fat Money” was sentenced Friday to 20 months in federal prison, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Raybon arrived at LAX and attempted to board a flight headed for Atlanta. He was selected for a routine luggage inspection by Transportation Security Administration officials.
Inside Raybon’s carry-on luggage, security officials discovered a Glock 9mm-caliber semiautomatic pistol and several rounds of ammunition.
Raybon then fled from TSA officers after the discovery, authorities said.
At the time, investigators said Raybon was in illegal possession of the pistol after being previously convicted of multiple felonies and a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence in Cook County, Illinois.
Raybon was later arrested and indicted by a federal grand jury in L.A.
In April 2024, he pleaded guilty to one federal count of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm and ammunition. On Friday, he was sentenced to 20 months in federal prison.
“It is unlawful for a person convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to ship, transport, receive, or possess a firearm or ammunition,” FBI officials said. “In addition, firearms are not permitted at checkpoints or in the secure area of airports, including in carry-on luggage or onboard aircraft.”
