Courtsey of AP:
A member of a Riverside newspaper’s advertising staff was arrested in connection with a garage sale advertisement placed in its classified pages promising that proceeds would go to a “memorial fund” for District Attorney Rod Pacheco. The man, Chandler W. Cardwell, 32, was booked Saturday on suspicion of making terrorist threats and possession of a concealed firearm. Mr. Cardwell was a member of the East Side Riva street gang, against which Mr. Pacheco had recently announced a crackdown, said Chief Russ Leach of the Riverside police. Mr. Cardwell was arrested after the authorities carried out search warrants at the newspaper, The Press-Enterprise, and discovered that his cellphone had been used to order the advertisement, the authorities said.
