Police say woman with 2 children arrested at Disneyland after not paying for tickets is a repeat offender
A California woman who was arrested during a visit to Disneyland previously attempted to enter the park with her children without paying for admission at least four times in a two-month period, police said.
Video footage posted circulating on social media shows Jessenia Diaz, 26, being led away from the California Adventure theme park in handcuffs Tuesday as her two young children were seen crying and pleading for help from bystanders.
Two other officers were seen following behind, one pushing a stroller.

Diaz, who was wearing Minnie Mouse ears, allegedly screamed profanities at Anaheim police officers when she refused to provide her identification, authorities said.
“She came in on a valid pass and brought her two kids,” Anaheim police Sgt. Matt Sutter told Fox News Digital. “When security tried to question her about her kids’ age, she just kept walking and didn’t stop. They caught up with her later inside the park.”
Disneyland grants free admission to children under the age of 3 when accompanied by a paying adult. Valid theme park admission and reservation for the same park on the same date are required for guests who are age 3 and older, according to the Disneyland website.
Diaz, a resident of the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance, tried to enter the park without paying for tickets, something she had done before, Disneyland officials told Fox News Digital. When confronted by park security and police, she became uncooperative, they said.

She was “uncooperative to say the least,” said Sutter.
“What Disney will do, they’ll work with you. They’ll try to come up with a solution,” he added. “They want their guests to stay in the park and enjoy their day. But she wasn’t having any of that.”
“If she had cooperated, had behaved better, she would have never gotten arrested,” he added.
During the arrest, Diaz appeared to shout, “You’re f***ing hurting me” as onlookers near the Jumpin’ Jellyfish ride in Paradise Gardens watched the scene unfold.
She has entered the park four times in the past two months without paying the full admission, Sutter said.

“This was the first time she got caught,” he said. “She’ll disappear into the park with her kids and they can’t find her.”
Diaz was released later that day with a citation.

Bay Area Teen Waymo Riders Nabbed For Allegedly Shooting Projectiles From Robotaxi
San Mateo Police said they were contacted by Waymo about the two 15-year-old riders after they were seen drinking and shooting from the vehicle. The vehicle was stopped as police responded and officers were able to safely remove the teens.
An investigation determined the teens were shooting Orbeez water beads and drinking while being chauffeured around the city.
Denver Nuggets standout forward Peyton Watson could find himself on another team before you know it.
With the Nuggets reportedly open to a sign-and-trade of Watson, could Denver really lose a core piece to their rotation?
It’s hard to imagine many teams being able to shoulder the financial weight of a Watson contract at this point because of the aprons and such, but he’s absolutely an asset to any contending team.
We’ve gone through and identified a few teams that make sense for Watson in the fall… including the one he’s already on at the moment. Hey, he might stay home, you never know!
The Clippers have been linked to Watson as a possible destination; he could help them immensely.
The Pistons have also been linked to Watson, which would help them a lot to contend for an NBA title.
Look, HYPOTHETICALLY, the Nets could move around some cap space with some player trades and such and get a deal done. They are one of the only teams in the NBA right now not in the negative with cap space.
The Grizzlies are the team with the least amount of negative cap space right now, per Spotrac. If they really wanted to pull off a Watson sign-and-trade… it would be hypothetically possible from a money standpoint.
Denver Nuggts
Look, it’s very possible Watson just stays in Denver on a brand-new deal. Who knows at this point?

14-year-old dies in Seattle e-bike crash at Colonnade Park after losing control on steep stairs – MyNorthwest.com
A 14-year-old boy was killed Monday evening after crashing a motorized electric bicycle while riding down a steep staircase at Seattle’s Colonnade Park, according to the Seattle Police Department (SPD).
Investigators said the teenager was riding an e-bike on a staircase inside the park, located beneath I-5 near the Ship Canal Bridge, when he lost control. He suffered severe head and body injuries.
Seattle Fire Department (SFD) medics attempted life-saving measures, but the teen died at the scene, according to police.
The crash happened at Colonnade Park, a popular mountain biking destination known for its technical trails and riding features. Police said the investigation determined the teen lost control while attempting to ride down the steep stairs. Because of the victim’s age, SPD’s Homicide Unit responded to conduct the investigation, though authorities said the death appears to have been a tragic accident.
The fatal crash comes as electric bicycles continue to grow in popularity among teenagers and young adults across Washington and the country.
Research published by the American College of Surgeons has found that riders injured on electric bicycles are more likely to suffer serious trauma than riders on traditional bicycles. The study found e-bike riders faced a 17% risk of internal injuries compared with 7.5% for riders on conventional bicycles, a difference researchers attributed in part to the heavier weight and higher speeds of electric bikes.
Under Washington law, electric bicycles capable of producing more than 750 watts of power or traveling faster than 28 mph while powered by a motor are not classified as e-bikes and may instead be regulated as motor-driven cycles or motorcycles.
The Seattle tragedy follows several recent serious crashes involving young e-bike riders. Earlier this year, a child was critically injured in Kirkland after an e-bike collided with a vehicle, while other fatal e-bike crashes involving teenagers have been reported in Illinois and Missouri.
SPD will continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the crash.
