From the overnight notes
Most nights, the night editor Kate Kealey, or the night cops reporter Brian Day will send me notes on criminal activity in the SGV and Whitter that we need to check on in the morning.
Here's last night's note:
Heard over the scanner reports of a man that doused himself in gasoline and threatened to set himself on fire. Made a few calls to track it down. Sheriff's San Dimas Station is handling it. All the watch commander could do was confirm it, say that they were handling it and that it happened in the 4300 block of Bell Chase Avenue in unincorporated county area near Covina. He was still waiting on a briefing from the lieutenant, which wasn't going to happen until later.
