916 Times, Sacramento, CA (2025)

09/26/2025

Apparently Captain Jack Sparrow was on the loose in the 916…

Per RPD:

“Early Monday morning, while most of the city was asleep, patrol officers proactively stopped a vehicle near Sunset Blvd. and Hwy 65 for multiple equipment and moving violations.

The driver, Onje Griffin, 38, of Sacramento, was found to be on parole for robbery and ID theft and driving on a suspended license for DUI.

Narcotics paraphernalia was readily observed inside the vehicle. A search of the vehicle uncovered a sawed-off shotgun, shotgun ammo, narcotics paraphernalia, and suspected methamphetamine.

Griffin was arrested for various violations, including felon in possession of a firearm and narcotics possession while armed.

Excellent work by Officer Davis and Officer Chavez!”

Now with over 400,000 followers combined on social media, we want to run it again.

What should Elk Grove’s Historic Main St look like?

The City government is seeking input from the public:

“Looking at these images, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Wait a minute. That’s not Elk Grove!” And if you are, you’re correct - it’s not. These images show various locations around Sausalito and Tiburon.

So why are we sharing them on our social media pages? Well, we’re reimagining the future of Historic Main Street! As part of a planning update, we’ve created six different personas inspired by downtowns across the state.

Meet the Upscale Persona: boutique shops, eclectic restaurants, art galleries, outdoor activities, and a welcoming streetscape with landscaped walkways and rustic benches. A blend of historic charm and modern touches creates a unique Main Street feel. And while waterfront shops are nice, we recognize that not all elements of this persona are achievable. Instead, we’re asking you to envision the overall aesthetic.

Curious and want to learn more? Explore all six personas and share your feedback on our website. Your voice will help shape the future of Historic Main Street.”

Sacramento DUI Checkpoint September 26 8p.m-1a.m

Per Sacramento PD:

“Sacramento, Calif. – On September 26th, 2025, the Sacramento Police Department will conduct a driving under the influence (DUI) Checkpoint from 8:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. within the city limits.
DUI checkpoint locations are determined based on data showing incidents of impaired driving-related crashes. The primary purpose of DUI checkpoints are to promote public safety by taking suspected impaired drivers off the road.

“Impaired drivers put others on the road at significant risk,” Sergeant Anna Mahoney said. “Any prevention measures that reduce the number of impaired drivers on our roads significantly improve traffic safety.”

The Sacramento Police Department reminds the public that impaired driving is not just from alcohol. Some prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs may interfere with driving. While medicinal and recreational ma*****na are legal, driving under the influence of ma*****na is illegal.

Drivers charged with a first-time DUI face an average of $13,500 in fines and penalties, as well as a suspended license.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.“
