MONROVIA -- A report of a parachutist possibly stranded in the foothills above Monrovia Sunday night was likely nothing more than party balloons, officials said.
A caller reported seeing a parachutist through a telescope go over the foothills about 6:30 p.m. in Spanish Canyon, near Monrovia Canyon Park, but not come back, Monrovia police Sgt. Tom Wright said.
Rescuers from the Sierra Madre Search and Rescue Team, as well as helicopters from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and the Pasadena Police Department scoured the area, but found no sign of the parachutist after more than an hour, Wright said.
A Verdugo fire dispatcher said one of the helicopters spotted a group of party balloons floating in the area of the same color the caller said the parachute was, leading officials to believe the caller mistook the balloons for a parachutist.
Nonetheless, rescuers continued the search Sunday night to make certain, Wright said.
From the Associated Press:
LOS ANGELES -- A Monrovia man arrested at Disneyland has been charged with a five-day crime spree across three Southern California counties that includes carjackings, home-invasion robberies and attempted murder.
Los Angeles County sheriff's detectives alerted Anaheim police of 27-year-old Anthony Hislar's whereabouts last week and he was arrested.
Hislar's alleged crime spree started Sept. 19 with a shooting in Rosemead and continued with carjackings in El Monte and Rosemead, home invasion robberies in Arcadia and Azusa and robberies in Huntington Beach and Santa Ana. He's also listed in a Ventura County arrest warrant.
Hisler's bail is set at $3.4 million.
