Timothy Olyphant’s Modesto Roots | Fresno News

Timothy Olyphant spills the tea on his Modesto roots in a raw, hilarious Rolling Stone interview—calling it a “skicker town” that shaped his swagger, backyard orchard parties, and even his cowboy roles. From backyard BYOB shindigs to a distant Vanderbilt connection and a childhood home on Norwegian Avenue now overshadowed by the Russian Embassy, Olyphant traces how his small-town upbringing fueled his Hollywood grit. He jokes his swagger lands him free clothes, visits his mom often (even if she’s not thrilled), and still grabs lunch at Tresetti’s. Now 58, Emmy-nominated, and starring in “Justified: City Primeval” and “Lucky,” he’s living the dream—still grounded in the dirt of Modesto.

Teen Accused in Fatal Shooting | Fresno News

A 16-year-old girl, Cassie Michael, faces murder charges in the April 25th shooting death of 18-year-old Caleb Quick, allegedly serving as the getaway driver for her boyfriend, Byron Rangel, who is accused of firing the fatal shot. The trial, set for Thursday after a last-minute delay, will be decided by a judge—not a jury—due to Michael’s age at the time of the crime. Prosecutors have refused to offer a plea deal, while defense attorneys argue she had no knowledge of the gun or intent to use it. Police say Rangel followed Quick into a McDonald’s parking lot and shot him in the back of the head, allegedly in retaliation for a sexual assault Quick was accused of committing on Michael’s friend. Rangel’s next court date is September 1st, where his eligibility for adult prosecution will be determined. The trial is expected to last about ten days.

California Targets Nursing Home Fraud | Fresno News

California’s Attorney General Rob Bonta just dropped a major blow against nursing home fraud: Sweetwater Care Resource is paying $15 million to settle allegations they routinely understaffed Medi-Cal facilities, violating state laws that require at least 3.5 hours of direct care per resident daily. Twelve million goes to penalties, the rest to boost staffing and hire a compliance monitor — all to protect vulnerable seniors in Fresno, Selma, Fowler, and Tulare. Bonta made it clear: profits won’t trump patient safety. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
