OC judge says no more inmates need to be released for reducing jail population due to COVID-19

SANTA ANA, Calif. - A judge who previously ordered that Orange County s jail population be cut in half to better comply with social distancing to help contain the spread of COVID-19 said Tuesday he is satisfied with what Sheriff Don Barnes has done so far and that it is not necessary to release any inmates at this time. The situation today is that I cannot conclude that the sheriff has not substantially complied with both the letter and intent of the Dec. 11 order to halve the jail population, Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter Wilson said.

SANTA ANA (CNS) - As part of a new policy, the Orange County Sheriff s Department today released a detailed account, along with video, of the fatal shooting of a Lake Forest woman who flashed a replica toy gun at deputies who responded to her 911 call.
Sunshine Salac, 28, was shot last June 24 in the 22000 block of Loumont Drive.
Undersheriff Jeff Hallock emphasizes in the video posted Friday to the sheriff s website that the shooting remains under investigation. A deputy-involved shooting triggers an internal probe as well as reviews by the Office of Independent Review and the Orange County District Attorney s Office, which determines whether criminal charges are warranted.
