In fact, Paton was at the center of dealing five picks — four of them first- and second-rounders — for Russell Wilson in March 2022. Then he got a first-rounder for Bradley Chubb, and CEO Greg Penner flipped it to New Orleans for the right to hire Payton.Instead of trading back and perhaps stashi...

‘Dangerous and reckless’: Prosecutors charge San Jose women with illegally importing fly-infested fruit

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 13:49:24 GMT

SAN JOSE — Two women are facing felony charges of illegally importing fruit from Vietnam that was partially infested with the larvae of destructive fruit flies, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office.The women, ages 42 and 36, face the charge of conspiracy to import and sell fruit in violation of federal and state agricultural laws. Prosecutors said in a news release Friday that in 2022, the women coordinated the importation of the tropical fruit langsat, which was mislabeled as dried fish, coffee and tea during the shipping process in order to avoid inspection.Prosecutors said that one of the women was warned by officials to stop selling the fruit in May 2022, but she continued to advertise it on her social media pages. The langsat was later seized and was found to be infested with the larvae of an invasive species of fruit fly native to South Asia.“This is serious and reckless behavior,” said District Attorney Jeff Rosen in the news release. ...

He had to figure out a way to get them out, otherwise “they wouldn’t make it.”David Hill, one of the men Taylor saved that night, said Taylor’s actions were what “we now call thinking outside the box.”Hill and the three others were on a night mission to track the movement of enemy troops in a village near the Saigon River wh...
