Ill be back to let you know exactly when youll get some relief from Mother Nature coming up. That is the place. Thank you. Lets focus now on building a better bay area. One of the subjects we focused on so much so weve dedicate eight whole week to it is Public Safety. The tonight two stories on both sides of the bay focusd how eight of is addressed by people at the top of the Justice System and by everyday people concerned about their own neighborhoods. Well start in San Francisco with a followup to this attack caught on camera. We told but it last night. The man believed to be homeless is now back out on the streets. A judge released him even after seeing this video. Abcs Lyanne Melendez is in the area to explain where the attack happened. You look at the video and have to wonder how is this man not no custody. Now, the woman who was attacked in that video was told by the District Attorneys Office that the man was under the influence of drugs. And i started crying. And i could not continue the conversation. Reporter panice was notified by the District Attorneys Office following the release of the man shown in this video as he tries to enter her Apartment Building over the weekends. She falls to the ground as she struggles with him. He continues to grab her. She finally crawls inside. It ends as she and person at the front desk try to keep him out. The man identified by police as Austin James Vincent was chargeded with battery, false imprisonment and Second Degree robbery. He appeared in court for the first time yesterday. Heres what the d. A. s office told us. Prosecutors expressed concerns about his release. Ultimately, the court released him on assertive Case Management. Vincent walked away even after the judge read the Police Report the Public Safety assessment and yes, watched the video. The judge has seen the video. She still thinks that this man is okay to be on the streets. Instead, the judge ordered vin isnt enrolled in a program with assertive Case Management which falls under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco pretrial diversion project. David moroff is the ceo. Theyre looking at the Police Report in, the courtroom with the client, listening to the District Attorney and public defender. The Public Safety, hold on a minute, Public Safety he grabbed in woman. Threw her to the ground. Theyre fighting. Shes fighting for her life. Where is the Public Safety there . Thats, you know, its based on again our role is to followup on you know these recommendations and we take that very seriously as we work with each of our clients. A criminal was released. Hes free. Im not. Im imprisoned in my own house. Any information on the alleged attacker is confidential. Now, i was told that he is undergoing treatment. I asked what kind of treatment. Again, that is confidential. But we know he will be in court on september 12th for his pretrial hear. This case isnt over. The only issue is that he is now out and about. Im live in San Francisco, Lyanne Melendez, nbc 67. A lot of people may find that hard to understand. How will they make sure that he shows up for his Court Ordered appointments and stays away from the woman in the video being attacked . Reporter well, according to the agreement that he made with with the judge, dan, he has to call in, check in two to four times a week. Theres also a stay away order meaning he cannot approach the victim. Other than that, you know, the judge yesterday decided not to demand that he wear an ankle bracelet. Many times they do. So that was a little strange. And as far as we know, he doesnt have an address. So again, you know he may or may not show up. Ask me on september 12th when the pretrial, his pretrial goes into, yeah, when he shows up or not. We will find out. It will be interesting to see what happens. Thanks so much. In oakland tonight, people taking Crime Fighting into their own hands. Theres an anonymous effort to shed light on muggings in the city especially in north oakland, but the warning signs popping up around the neighborhood are is not o not sitting well with some residents. Reporter we saw the signs posted all across the neighborhood. It says warning, muggings occur in this neighborhood. Oakland elected officials do not care. You are on your own. And we spoke with people who live in this area and theyre concerned because they think these signs may do more harm than good. Warning be alert. Those words on sign after sign after sign in this oakland neighborhood cautioning neighbors of muggings in the area. And saying Oakland Police cant protect you. At the bottom, the number to mayor libby schaafs office for more information. It was one here. One on next pole there. Its still some over there, but like most of the ones i see i took down already is not its not a good message. Charles jones says there have been some incidents but overall his neighborhood isnt dangerous. These signs though he says could be. When you put up a sign like this and you got somebody who dont know the neighborhood, dont know the residents, dont know the history, dont know the culture, and theyre a victim of a crime or afraid of being a victim of a crime, they might want to arm themselves, might want to try and protect they self. We dont need a bunch of scary inexperienced you know, untrained people running around here with fire arps. You know what i mean. Oakland police wouldnt comment on the sign buzz other neighbors worry what an increased Police Presence could mean. The people who they usually identify as the suspects are people who just like them, black people of color. Charles says its a reflection of tension between the neighborhoods long time residents and newer ones and the signs make it worse. We saw the signs posted about an urgent Public Safety meeting for longfellow residents tonight at 7 30 at sacred heart church. Opd and this Areas Council member are expected to be there. Kumasi aaron. Its been a mess in the south bay for sure.
