CRIME NEWS

➤ During a probation check on Tuesday in Ceres, police found an explosive device at a home on the 3900 block of Blaker Road—officers evacuated the area, secured the device in a safe location, and arrested 45-year-old Janmichael Valdez for possessing the explosive as the investigation continues.

HEALTH NEWS

➤ Stanislaus Animal Services has paused stray animal intakes because a zoo strep outbreak forces the staff to deep-clean sections and separate exposed dogs.
