Local

A female motorist, suspected of driving under the influence, has been arrested in South Los Angeles on Wednesday. The suspect, driving a red Honda Accord, was taken into custody at the intersection of Imperial and Willowbrook around 11 p.m. after a 30-minute chase. According to the article, LAPD officers used a spike strip to stop the vehicle close to the intersection of Imperial and Compton. The driver lost control of her car and hit a curb, giving officers a chance to apprehend the woman.

State

The state of California has banned the imprisonment of orcas and captivity programs, such as the one previously run by SeaWorld, after Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation on Tuesday. The bill prevents California attractions from featuring orcas for entertainment, and starting in June 2017, these mammals in captivity can only be used for “educational presentations.” The new law, presented by Assemblyman Richard Bloom (D-Santa Monica) says that research and rehabilitation centers can still hold orcas for scientific and educational purposes.
