SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Relations rallied for jail reform exterior of San Diego County’s Central Jail Friday, claiming a number of males who died in custody had been uncared for and denied medical consideration. This comes amid an increase of in-custody deaths in our neighborhood.
Sabrina Weddle’s brother, Saxon Rodriguez, died within the Central Jail two years in the past. Weddle says it occurred simply 4 days after he was arrested.
“The deputies didn’t examine him in a well timed method, which is meant to be each hour. They checked him on the 65 minute mark,” stated Weddle. “Sadly — he bought a maintain of fentanyl. And since he was not checked on time, he was not capable of be revived.”
Weddle says she hasn’t gotten any solutions about how the medicine bought into the jail, which occurred at a time when pandemic restrictions did not permit guests.
“Each inmate that goes into this jail is scanned by a multi-million greenback scanner, but the deputies are usually not scanned,” stated Weddle. “And I’ve stated it time and time once more: My brother’s medicine had been returned residence with me after he handed away. So the medicine he died with weren’t his.”
Tammy Wilson says her husband, Omar Moreno Arroyo, was arrested in 2021 throughout a psychological well being disaster.
“Inside 12 hours, he died alone within the holding cell on the jail cell ground resulting from choking on his fabric face masks that was given to him,” stated Wilson. “Why was he arrested as an alternative of taken to a hospital?”
In line with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Division web site, there have been 19 in-custody deaths in 2022 and two up to now this yr. A report from the Citizen’s Regulation Enforcement Assessment Board says out of the state’s 12 largest counties, San Diego’s jails have the very best variety of “unexplained deaths” — usually accidents and overdoses.
Meaning researchers discovered so many extra deaths than anticipated, based mostly on county mortality charges, it is “extremely unlikely to be a matter of random likelihood.”
“We want the deputies to even be scanned, or for there to be a Okay-9 current on daily basis,” stated Weddle.
“I would like there to be extra psychological well being nurses, docs on workers to deal with individuals with a psychological well being disaster,” stated Wilson. “They do not need to be thrown in jail.”
The San Diego Sheriff’s Division gave the next written assertion to ABC 10News:
“We help the general public’s rights to free speech and meeting. We encourage the peaceable gathering of our communities who need their voices heard. We don’t touch upon any particular person case involving lively or pending litigation. For these circumstances I’ve to respectfully refer you to County Counsel. On the San Diego County Sheriff’s Division, we’re dedicated to the protection of the individuals entrusted in our care. We’re resolved in our core values of recognizing the dignity and worth of each human life. We have now instituted many modifications within the final yr, in addition to initiated a number of investigations to make sure insurance policies and procedures are being adopted.”
The division referenced this webpage as proof of current enhancements to native jails.

Bryce Miller: Jason Adam pickup solid, but Padres desperately need a starting pitcher
![Bryce Miller: Jason Adam pickup solid, but Padres desperately need a starting pitcher Bryce Miller: Jason Adam pickup solid, but Padres desperately need a starting pitcher](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/SUT-L-1457007-padres-0607-014_101309-1.jpg?w=1024&h=732)
BALTIMORE — The Padres shook loose the dust two days before the trade deadline. They chased down a late-innings setup arm in the Rays’ Jason Adam, someone to help bridge the gap to closer Robert Suarez.
As the clock ticks until Tuesday’s deadline, it’s still not enough.
The Padres need a starter or risk reliving 2021, when whispers about Max Scherzer and others led nowhere.
That’s when Yu Darvish, Blake Snell, Chris Paddack and Ryan Weathers all finished as sub-100 ERA+ starters, meaning all were considered below-average big-leaguers that season.
Everything imploded during a 46-game finish — the fourth worst train wreck of that length by a winning team since the 1800s — to kneecap a once-promising season.
“You want to round your team out,” Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller said Sunday in a hallway of Oriole Park at Camden Yards. “We’re still in conversation. We feel like we have internal options that we like. (Adam) Mazur coming up the other day and battling through, getting us in a position to get a win. Jhony Brito.
“We’ve got some guys that we feel good about from that standpoint.”
Internal options?
No, they don’t. Not real, bankable ones.
The Mazur Experiment has been a bust to this point. Preller tried to polish the pseudo-opener role he played in the first game of this series against the Orioles, holding things together.
Faint praise, that.
It was 2 2/3 innings, allowing an earned run in a game that began with back-to-back walks and an ERA that now stands at 7.49. No active arm outside of locked-in starters Dylan Cease, Michael King and Matt Waldron has thrown more than 45 2/3 innings for the Padres this season.
They now have one fewer internal option after this season, considering former first-round pick Dylan Lesko became part of the price tag for Adam.
The Padres could have been guilty of living an illusion that they had four starters because of the recent run of Randy Vásquez. That was before he coughed up six earned runs in two innings Sunday during a wild 8-6 loss to the Orioles.
A few weeks ago, you know the conversations in Camp Padre felt more like this: We have three starters, so we’ve really got to beat the market bushes and find another arm or two.
Then Vásquez rode the wave of historic Padres pitching on this road trip, jumping in the wipeout Conga line with Dylan Cease, Michael King and Matt Waldron.
And if you think you suddenly have four starters, it’s easy to convince yourself that you’re not that far from five.
Momentum math can be dangerous math.
“The starting pitching, the offense, we’re shutting teams down late in the game,” Preller said of the team, which has roared out of the gates since the All-Star break. “We’re playing good teams. You have to play well, so that’s a good test for our group.
“I think we knew it was gonna be a test coming out of a break, and these guys have answered it.”
Now, it’s time for Preller to answer.
The Padres have done too much on the field, especially without platinum All-Star Fernando Tatis Jr., and starters Joe Musgrove and Yu Darvish, to watch this thing wither on the vine as innings pile up.
When Tatis returns, when Musgrove returns, if Darvish returns, patching up the rotation now could pay playoff-level dividends later. Preller is enough of a baseball junkie to understand the precarious pitching ledge his team is walking.
Adam represents a piece, but should only represent a start.
The ex-Rays reliever fills a hole the Padres have struggled to patch beyond Jeremiah Estrada and, at times, Adrian Morejon. Adam also is not a free agent until 2027.
Lesko, outfielder Homer Bush Jr. and another prospect represent a hefty price. It also illustrates how many teams are scrambling for arms.
Wrangling a starter will require some elite needle-threading. There’s still the competitive balance tax reset the Padres have worked so hard to reach.
Creativity in the face of roadblocks is Preller’s specialty, however, as early-season deals for Cease and hitting machine Luis Arraez illustrated.
Doing nothing, though, could derail it all.
The 2021 deadline became known for a major swing and miss on Adam Frazier of the Pirates, who promptly forgot how to hit when he arrived in San Diego after leading baseball in hits before the trade.
The year also should be known for skipping the arms and a stretch run too thin on pitching.
This team three years later has shown pop and promise, outstanding yet taxed starting pitching and an ability to fight back that recent seasons lacked.
Short-circuiting that potential now with Tatis and Musgrove waiting in the wings would be tough to swallow.
Trade partners and deals need to make sense, of course, and decisions cannot be driven by deadline panic. Preller, though, has shown the ability to make seemingly complex things happen.
He needs to do it again.

Jennifer Garner’s first visit to San Diego ends up with ‘adventure’
![Jennifer Garner’s first visit to San Diego ends up with ‘adventure’ Jennifer Garner’s first visit to San Diego ends up with ‘adventure’](https://www.thenews.com.pk/assets/uploads/updates/2024-07-28/l_1214239_123915_updates.jpg)
Jennifer Garner’s Comic-Con adventure took an unexpected turn when she got trapped in an elevator at the Hard Rock Hotel San Diego.
The actress, who was in town to promote her new movie Deadpool & Wolverine, documented her ordeal on Instagram, sharing a series of videos showing her and several others stuck in the elevator.
After a tense 1 hour and 12 minutes, first responders arrived to rescue them.
“Hey guys, um, we’re suck on this elevator,” Garner started the clip from two minutes into the ordeal.
“I could use a Wolverine, I could use a Deadpool, I could use someone,” she continued, adding that she would look for stairs in the future. “Thanks for having us here. My first Comic-Con.”
After 11 minutes, the Family Switch star, dressed in pants and a floral blouse, exclaimed, “It’s toasty, I’m sphitzy, I need to blot.”
“Don’t cut the blue wire is what we’re hearing,” she joked to the camera.
In the next video slide, Garner is seen sitting on the elevator floor, claiming she learned this technique from a TV show (either Brooklyn Nine-Nine or The Office) as the proper response when trapped in an elevator.
Later, at the 41.5-minute mark, Garner leads her group in a sing-along of the classic song 99 Bottles of Beer.
After the lift had been running for an hour, the lights came on and Garner began to sing Madonna’s famous song Like a Prayer.
At one hour and twelve minutes into the story, Garner’s eyes widened with joy as she noticed first responders had come and everyone was clapping.
