- Soledad police received a call about a suspect going hog wild through the city. Officers probably didn't think the description would be quite so literal.
Police said they received a call about a wild hog making its way through the city on Thursday morning.
Police said in a social media post that due to people being out on their morning walks, officers tried to get the hog out of the city.
Police chased the pig through a field in patrol cars and eventually got it back to its habitat.
No word on whether the hog was cited for HAMpering the morning commute.
"Just another day at Soledad PD… you really never know what the next call will be!" police said in a social media post.

- Description
- A 14-year-old has admitted to the murder of a man outside an East Salinas laundromat in April, a shooting allegedly carried out by two teenagers, according to Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni.
Pacioni said the younger of the two suspects, a 14-year-old, admitted to committing first-degree murder, with a special allegation of personally and intentionally discharging a firearm and causing great bodily injury.
On April 27, 2026, around 6:51 a.m., Salinas police were notified by ShotSpotter of 17 rounds being fired at 912 North Sanborn Road.
Police arrived and found the victim, 22-year-old Joel Gonzalez of Salinas, with gunshot wounds to his head and torso, lying face down near a chain-link fence. Gonzalez was pronounced dead at the scene.
Salinas police eventually identified two suspected gunmen in the case: a 14-year-old and a 17-year-old. They were later arrested and charged in connection with the murder.

- Students at Rancho Cielo’s automotive restoration program are participating in Car Week events, including presenting a restored Rolls-Royce at the prestigious Concours d’Elegance on Sunday.
The program teaches underserved youth how to repair, restore, and maintain cars, providing them with valuable skills and opportunities.
In preparation for the event, the students brought the Rolls-Royce into the shop, and two students, Aaron Corea and Max Perez, will be part of the team presenting the car.
“We do have some background. We had to study for the event itself. We have to give them some information about the car before the actual presentation," Perez said.
"Are you nervous?" asked Erin Clark.
"Yeah, I’m nervous,” Corea said.
The Rolls-Royce belongs to board member Bill Hayward, who purchased and restored the car with Rancho Cielo students in mind. Hayward is a strong supporter of the program and beli...

"Right now, it's safe here on this property. But it's a moving target," said Kirk Gafill, general manager at Nepenthe Restaurant, which has closed its kitchen due to the fire.
"We have decided not to attempt to reopen this evening. So all now we're on a clock, to look at what do we need to know to make that decision for tomorrow," Gafill said.
The uncertainty is also affecting other businesses in the evacuation zone. At Deetjen's Big Sur Inn, staff had to evacuate a full house of guests and employees when the evacuation order was issued.
"We went around to the 20 guest rooms. We were full and evacuated our guests first and informed our employees that live on site," said Matt Glazer of Deetjen's Big Sur Inn.
