A Bedford neighborhood is cleaning up after vandals hit at least 15 homes in the area overnight Friday.

Police said the homes were hit in the Village of Oak Park neighborhood.

The vandals threw corn, paint, mustard, ketchup and other items on cars and garage doors between midnight and 5 a.m., police said.

One victim said the vandals had to walk up his driveway to commit the crime, a brazen act, he said.

Many neighbors were helped out by a woman vandalized herself, Tina Kitts.

Kitts owns T.A.S.K. Auto Eco Wash, a car detailing business, and had the right tools to clean cars up quickly.

"With this sun, this stuff will bake on fast," Kitts said.

With a hand-cart full of soaps and waxes, Kitts was able to help many of the people on her street.

"We just got the whole neighborhood together and started cleaning up the cars everybody pitched in cleaning each one, one by one," Kitts said.

Neighbors credit Kitts with saving them from having permanently damaged cars.

No word on what charges the vandals may face if they're found.

The cast of Kidd Kraddick in the Morning plan to continue on with the show even after the show's  namesake has died.

Kidd Kraddick died while attending a golf tournament in Louisiana that benefited his children's charity, Kidd's Kids. Preliminary autopsy results from the Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office said Kraddick died of cardiac disease.

On Monday, the cast of the morning show returned to the airwaves for an abbreviated show in which they memorialized the longtime host.

The cast then retreated and took a few days to sort out their future while fans started a petition asking them to continue on in Kidd's absence.

On Friday, KHKS-FM (KISS FM) released the following statement on their web site regarding the show:

In an effort to keep you up to date on what is going on, we wanted to let you know that the cast had a great meeting Thursday about the show moving forward.

They are all excited about continuing Kidd's legacy and are ready to get back on the air. Monday's show, although slightly different, is going to be funny, topical and emotional. It is the same show you fell in love with when we signed on.

Yes, the name is still Kidd Kraddick In the Morning. Kidd worked hard to build this brand, and the bottom line is that the show is Kidd Kraddick In the Morning.

We ask that you be patient with the new version of the show and allow it some time to grow.

Bar That Served Brent May Have Violations, State Says

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said its investigators found "sufficient evidence" that Beamers Private Club in Dallas sold alcohol to an already intoxicated person either late Dec. 7 or early Dec. 8 and conducted "practices that promote excessive consumption by patrons."

The Dallas nightclub where former Cowboys player Josh Brent last stopped before being involved in a fatal crash that killed a teammate may have over-served patrons that night, state liquor authorities said Friday.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said its investigators found "sufficient evidence" that Beamers Private Club in Dallas sold alcohol to an already intoxicated person either late Dec. 7 or early Dec. 8 and conducted "practices that promote excessive consumption by patrons."

Brent is charged with intoxication manslaughter in the Dec. 8 crash that killed Jerry Brown, a practice squad player and Brent's college teammate. He is scheduled for trial next month, and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, though he could also get probation.

TABC did not name Brent, but acknowledged that it wouldn't continue its case against Beamers until Brent's criminal case ends. The agency declined to release its full report.

Lt. John Graham of TABC said investigators think Beamers Private was Brent's last stop before the crash in the Dallas suburb of Irving. TABC did not interview Brent, but spoke to others who were at the bar that night, Graham said.

Beamers Private could lose its liquor license as a result of the investigation, Graham said.

Owners of Beamers Private did not immediately return an email and a phone message.

Brent retired from the Cowboys last month after his career was placed on hold.

"I am at a point where my main focus is all about getting the priorities in my life in order," Brent said in a statement provided by the team last month. "Those priorities are more important than football. Doing the right things in life are more important than football. I love the game very much. I love my teammates, but this is the right thing for me to do."

Irving police have accused Brent of driving with a blood-alcohol content more than twice the legal limit the night of the crash. His attorney, George Milner, has filed a motion to have the blood test performed on Brent thrown out. A judge has not yet ruled on that request.

2013 West Nile Season Far Better Than 2012

Three human cases of West Nile Virus reported in Dallas County this week are far less than the hundreds reported last summer and not close to the level to justify aerial mosquito spraying, health experts and county officials said Friday.

University Park Teen Fights WNV Fever

A University Park teenager fighting West Nile fever is the third case of West Nile virus reported in Dallas County in this mosquito season. Dallas County Health and Human Services said the patient lives in the 75225 zip code, which is in University Park.

The three human cases of West Nile virus reported in Dallas County this week are far from the hundreds reported last summer and are not close to the level to just aerial mosquito spraying, health experts and county officials said Friday.

County Judge Clay Jenkins, the county's top elected official, said county leaders are concerned about the human cases but some human cases were expected. There is not a certain numerical threshold that would trigger aerial spraying, he said.

"As far as like the elected officials having set out a specific line, they have not done so, nor would it be appropriate for elected officials to do that because none of us are scientists," he said.

Jenkins said he and other county leaders frequently consult with Dallas doctors, as well as specialists in the county and state health departments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Jenkins said gathering data and opinions from scientists and medical professionals shapes the decision on when and where to launch aerial spraying against the mosquitoes. Jenkins stressed the scientific community isn't sounding any alarms.

"I don't have any scientists right now saying to me, 'You know, put planes in the air. We need to start aerial spraying,'" he said. "If we don't have a fierce, all-over-the-county problem like we did last year, there is not a need to spray from the air if we can handle it on the ground."

Dr. John Carlo, chairman of the Dallas County Medical Society Emergency Response Committee and a former Dallas County health department medical director, said last year was much different from this year's mosquito season.

"What happened last year was, we saw an evolving risk with numbers of human cases that kept continuing to ramp up," he said. "Thankfully, this year, we haven't seen that. But we're not done yet."

Carlo was among the experts who urged Dallas County to conduct aerial spraying last year but is not calling for it this year.

He praised the county's expanded monitoring system, which uses far more mosquito traps to better detect infected mosquitoes.

"That offers a better way to make targeted intervention," he said.

This year, the county has used targeted ground spraying to kill mosquitoes. A team of experts constantly monitors the situation, Jenkins said.

"Things can change suddenly, and that's why we look at this every day," he said. "But we're in a much better point than we were last year, and we think can continue handling this with the assets we have on the ground right now and, if that changes, we'll let the public know."

Earlier this year, county commissioners approved a budget for possible aerial spraying. Dynamic Aviation, which conducted last year's aerial spraying, told NBC 5 that the county has an contractual option with the company to continue spraying if needed.

Spokesman Caleb Stitely said Dallas County leaders have contacted the company to keep them up-to-date on West Nile virus numbers, not to mobilize the company.

Jenkins is urging residents to continue removing standing water that can serve as mosquito breeding areas and wear insect repellant and long sleeves in the dawn and dusk hours, when mosquitoes are active.

Company Recalls Salsa: May Contain Glass

A company has issued a voluntary recall of a salsa product after three consumers reported finding pieces of glass inside the product, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration confirmed.

Olam Tomato Processors, Inc., has recently pulled three lots of their Mild Chunk Salsa and Medium Chunk Salsa products from shelves.

The recall includes three production codes:
 

  • Mild Chunky Salsa (UPC 3927759137), production code L12142, with the Best By Date June 2015
  • Mild Chunky Salsa (UPC 3927759137) production code L04093, with the Best By Date October 2015
  • Medium Chunky Salsa (UPC 3927759139) production code L01313, with the Best By Date July 2015

To find the production code, consumers should look on the glass jar itself, right below the cap and above the product label. The labels of the affected product will say "distributed by Greenbrier International, Inc."

According to the FDA, the popular salsa products were sold nationwide at Dollar Tree and other $1 stores, including Deals, Dollar Express and Dollar Bill$.

There are dozens of Dollar Tree stores in the Bay Area.

The FDA says no other production dates, sizes or varieties of Chunky Salsa products manufactured by Olam Tomato Processors, Inc., are included in this recall.

Though three consumers did find pieces of glass inside the salsa, no injuries have been reported. At this point, it is believed that no product remains in retail distribution.

Consumers who purchased the recalled Chunky Salsa products should not eat the salsa, and should instead return it to the store for a full refund.

Consumers with questions about this recall can call 800-876-8697, ext. 15918.

Angels' J.B. Shuck Makes Spectacular Catch

AP

Los Angeles left fielder J.B. Shuck might have made the catch of the year Friday night against Toronto Blue Jays when he dove into the stands to catch what would have been a sure home run.

In the fourth inning, Blue Jays' slugger Jose Bautista hit the ball to the shortest part of the ballpark, prompting Shuck to jump at the fence. Shuck briefly teetered on the ledge after making the catch and then fell backward into the stands. He swiftly emerged with the ball still in his glove.

He scaled the wall again on his way out, getting his cleat caught on the shirt of an Angels fan.

"When it started coming down, I just tried to go get it," Shuck said of this jaw-dropping play, according to The Associated Press. "I don't know what really happened after that. ... I watched (the replay). It looks pretty unathletic, but it's pretty cool to see. I think that's the first one I've ever brought back."

Angles went on to beat Blue Jays, 7-5.

Check out Shuck's spectacular catch.

Deputy Allegedly Pepper Sprays Teen's Pizza

An Orange County Sheriff's Deputy is facing jail time after being accused of pepper spraying a teen's pizza without his knowledge during a traffic stop last year, the OC District Attorney's Office announced Friday.

Juan Tavera, a six-year veteran of the Orange County Sheriff's Department at the time of the alleged crime, faces one year in jail if convicted of spraying the pizza and ultimately sickening five people who ate it, according to a release by the DA's office.

Tavera, 30, allegedly pulled over a 19-year-old named as John Doe for a traffic violation on Sept. 8, 2012, when he noticed a pizza in the back seat and pepper sprayed it without the teen noticing, the release stated.

The teen returned home to share the pizza with four friends, and all five people became sick as a result of ingesting the pepper spray-contaminated pie. He became suspicious and notified the sheriff's department of his earlier interaction with the deputy, the DA's office said.

Tavera is charged with misdemeanor assault or battery by a public officer and is set to be arraigned Monday in Newport Beach. He is currently on paid administrative leave.

Passenger Suing Over Nose Gear Collapse at LaGuardia

Southwest Airlines is facing its first lawsuit over a hard landing at New York's LaGuardia Airport last month that injured 16 people.
 
South Carolina resident Jacqueline Young was on the flight from Nashville, Tenn. that made a nose-first landing at the airport on July 22.

She says in a lawsuit filed in Queens on Friday that she suffered permanent injuries after the accident.

Young's lawyer, Sanford Rubenstein, said in a statement that "airline passengers who were injured are entitled to money damages for what happened to them."
 
A spokeswoman for Southwest says the airline is unable to comment on pending litigation.
 
Federal investigators said last month the plane touched down on its front nose wheel before the sturdier main landing gear in the back touched down. Southwest said then the landing described by investigators violated the airline's normal procedures.
