Federal ammo charges filed over investigation into alleged meth dealers from Brentwood, Bay Point

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:03:51 GMT

OAKLAND — Robert Allan Brown might be in jail on federal charges of being a felon in possession of ammunition, but the investigation behind his arrest runs much deeper.Brown, 44, of Bay Point, was charged June 6 with the lone felony count, which carries up to 10 years in prison. The charge stems from an August 2022 traffic stop that also led state and federal authorities down a rabbit hole of the methamphetamine industry of East Contra Costa County and back to a Brentwood residence where they seized six pounds of the drug years before.Prosecutors say that on Aug. 18, 2022, Contra Costa Sheriff’s deputies on patrol in Pittsburg attempted to pull Brown over, but he fled in his Corvette, leading the deputies and later Antioch officers on a chase that ended at a residence on Cleveland Avenue in Bay Point. There, a sheriff K9 almost immediately jumped into the vehicle and alerted to a center console, where police allegedly found 1.6 pounds of methamphetamine, a silencer, roug...

ANÁLISIS | La investigación sobre el covid en Reino Unido se ha convertido en una farsa política

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:03:51 GMT

(CNN) — Se suponía que la investigación sobre el covid en el Reino Unido funcionaría como un cierre para las personas que perdieron a sus seres queridos durante la pandemia. Sin embargo, se convirtió en un circo político que podría dañar tanto a Boris Johnson como a Rishi Sunak.La investigación, que comenzó a reunir pruebas este martes, se vio ensombrecida durante semanas por una serie de disputas entre Sunak —actual primer ministro— y Johnson, quien renunció tras su caída en desgracia el verano pasado.La primera disputa de este tipo se relaciona directamente con la investigación. Sunak y su gobierno impugnan legalmente el derecho de la investigación a solicitar información personal de personas que estuvieron directamente involucradas en la toma de decisiones durante la pandemia. Eso implica cualquier cosa, desde mensajes de WhatsApp hasta diarios privados.El gobierno dice busca bloquear ese acceso porque de otro modo podría sentar un precedente en el que información que sea r...
