Good Nephew, Bad Nephew. Marco Garcia resigned from his position as San Diego Animal Control officer two weeks after he was arrested for assaulting his 66-year-old aunt in an incident regarding a dog he brought home from work. Garcia’s aunt, who is also his neighbor, went to his house to complain that the dog was in her yard. “The complaint then led to an assault,” Duval County’s chief deputy Jose Martinez told the Duval County Press. According to a report filed by the victim, Ester Garcia, her nephew grabbed her face and pushed her to the ground. Ester Garcia declined to comment about the incident.

Rammed. Gloria Mendez of San Diego seeks $250,000 for damages and injuries she claims resulted from a collision with a Duval County sheriff’s deputy vehicle on New Year’s Day.

The letter claims intent to sue. “Until the lawsuit is filed, we don’t respond,” says Duval County attorney Richard Carillo.
