Early Morning Proactive Burglary Patrol Nets Three Arrests

CLOVIS - During the month of January, the City of Clovis typically sees an increase in theft and vehicle burglaries. To combat these crimes, the Clovis Police Department has increased patrols during these cold, foggy nights. Early Monday morning, several additional officers proactively patrolled Clovis neighborhoods with a mission to proactively prevent theft. The officers patrolled in both marked and unmarked police vehicles.

At approximately 3:30 a.m. Monday morning, a Clovis Police Officer was patrolling the “Wawona Ranch” neighborhood near Minnewawa and Nees. He noticed two males walking through the neighborhood, one on each side of the street. Upon contact, the officer determined one of the males had a warrant, and he was arrested. When the males were searched, evidence of identity theft was located. Officers believe the males were in the area looking into vehicles and mailboxes.


PG&E Continues Providing Natural Gas and Electric Service During Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Reorganization

SAN FRANCISCO — PG&E Corporation said today it remains committed to providing safe natural gas and electric service to customers as it prepares to initiate voluntary reorganization proceedings under Chapter 11. The Company today provided the 15-day advance notice required by recently enacted California law that it and its wholly owned subsidiary Pacific Gas and Electric Company currently intend to file petitions to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on or about January 29, 2019.

During this process, the Company is also committed to continuing to make investments in system safety as it works with regulators, policymakers and other key stakeholders to consider a range of alternatives to provide for the safe delivery of natural gas and electric service for the long-term in an environment that continues to be challenged by climate change. PG&E expects that the Chapter 11 process will, among other things, support the orderly, fair and expeditious resolution of its potential liabilities resulting from the 2017 and 2018 Northern California wildfires, and will assure the Company has access to the capital and resources it needs to continue to provide safe service to customers.
