A suspected reckless driver led San Diego police on a bizarre Sunday morning chase that wound through city streets and ended on a busy beach, where surprised beachgoers looked on as officers arrested him.

The incident unfolded shortly before 7:30 a.m. after San Diego police received several reports of a man driving dangerously in the Pacific Beach area, the department told News Media.

Callers told police the driver of a tan or gold Nissan Frontier was spinning donuts in parking lots, coming close to hitting other vehicles and possibly crashing into curbs and a retaining wall.

Officers reached the neighborhood within minutes and saw the pickup traveling west toward the coast. When one officer tried to pull the vehicle over, police said the driver refused to stop, triggering a pursuit.

Officers eventually terminated the pursuit because of what police described as the driver’s “increasing wanton disregard to public safety.”

Police later located the truck again, but the driver allegedly failed to yield a second time, sparking another pursuit that officers also terminated.

By then, police said the Nissan was wanted in connection with felony evading, and officers saturated the area in an effort to locate it.

Officers eventually spotted the truck again driving slowly but held off on another attempted stop until the department’s ABLE, or Airborne Law Enforcement, helicopter was overhead and able to track it.

The helicopter followed the Nissan as it drove onto the beach and headed toward the water, police said.

Video from the scene shows stunned beachgoers watching as officers converge on the pickup on the sand. The driver, identified by police as 25-year-old Griffin Charles Foy, is seen outside the truck with his hands raised as officers move in to detain him.

A police K-9 was also at the scene but was not deployed during Foy’s arrest, authorities said.

Police said officers conducted a high-risk vehicle stop because of the nature of the alleged violations and Foy’s “disregard to public safety.”

Foy was taken into custody without further incident.

He was booked into San Diego Central Jail on charges of felony evading a peace officer with wanton disregard for safety, obstructing or resisting a peace officer and driving under the influence of drugs, according to police.

Despite the chaotic pursuit, police said no one was injured.

Joe Biden cited the pandemic to explain why he campaigned for the nation’s highest office largely from the shelter of his basement.

So what, exactly, is Xavier Becerra’s explanation?

The would-be governor seems to believe that running as a Democrat in overwhelmingly blue California is enough to carry him straight to Sacramento, with minimal effort and no public-health emergency required as cover.

That assumption is not only misguided; it is weak politics and shows a striking lack of respect for California voters.

Becerra is overdue for a serious accounting. He should face voters directly, answer questions from the press and explain a record that critics view as uneven at best — from his handling of COVID policy, to years in public office with limited accomplishments, to episodes that remain deeply questionable.

The scandals are varied.  

Xavier Becerra’s former chief of staff, Sean McCluskie, pleaded guilty in October 2025 — not even a year ago — to conspiracy to commit bank and wire fraud. 

Prosecutors said McCluskie and Dana Williamson, Gov. Gavin Newsom’s disgraced former chief of staff, conspired to grab $225,000 from a dormant Becerra campaign account and pump it to McCluskie, effectively supplementing his government salary. 

Becerra has said he didn’t know about the illegality. So was he simply clueless? Out to lunch? An incompetent manager with poor skills of delegation and oversight? 

What does choosing a No. 1 aide (and friend of 20 years) with compromised ethics say about his ability to judiciously hire, select and assess talent?

Does Becerra have any explanation, beyond that he was “betrayed”?

We’re waiting.

Another issue Becerra should answer for: As Biden’s health and human services secretary, he lost track of more than 130,000 migrant children who’d crossed the border solo under Biden’s lax immigration policies.

After Becerra & Co. waived them through with poor safeguards, some united with family. But others were exploited, trafficked or forced into labor.

What happened to all those kids? How did Becerra let this humanitarian mess happen? Again: Was he incompetent? Clueless? Indifferent? 

His top aide’s poor ethics, the illegal conduct on his own staff, tens of thousands of missing children: Does Becerra take responsibility for any of it?

Has he learned anything from it? 

How, exactly, does he merit a promotion?

Can we somehow expect better judgment from Becerra going forward, if he’s elected to run a state of 40 million people? If so, why?

He’s been hunkered down, entitled — hoping to glide to the governor’s mansion based on the D beside his name.

It’s pathetic.

We need a robust exchange of ideas, of policy plans, of visions to transcend the failing status quo as thousands flee the state due to malgovernance, overtaxation and regulation, lack of affordability, crime and chronic homelessness, struggling schools and a litany of other crises.

Instead, we get Becerra as hiding Biden 2.0.

Note to ‘Basement’ Becerra: Find some courage. Show up. Face your record, the press, and the voters.

ABC journalist Jordan Dafnis Ryan, known to viewers for her polished on-air presence, has revealed she is walking away from television news permanently.

The 28-year-old former morning reporter for KOCO 5 News, the ABC affiliate in Oklahoma City, shared the news on Instagram over the weekend, opening up about her choice just hours after signing off from the station for the final time.

She began the video by explaining that being a news anchor had always been her dream, ever since she was a young girl living in Arizona.

‘Overall, this career, the people that I’ve met in the community that I’ve gained has been incredible,’ Dafnis Ryan said.

She said the people she encountered through local news had deeply inspired her, describing the opportunity to work in broadcast journalism as a true ‘blessing.’

But with two young children at home, Dafnis Ryan explained that she ultimately made the emotional and difficult decision to leave her television role behind.

Previously, she worked as a morning reporter for News 9 in Oklahoma City.

‘When you have kids, things change, and it’s been apparent and made clear over the past year that I cannot function and be the best mom I can be with a schedule that you have to have in news,’ Dafnis Ryan explained.

Although she said she loves her morning shift, she added that it just wasn’t sustainable anymore.

‘I can’t keep waking up this early in the morning while having two kids under three, and it’s just clear that even as they grow older, we’re just not going to make it work,’ she said.

Typically, morning newscasters wake up between two and four am.

Despite this, she said it was a ‘tough decision’ to have to make, and one that she made along with her family.

‘My husband has been so supportive of whatever I’ve decided to do, but this is just what’s going to be best, and I have peace,’ the news anchor shared.

‘God has changed my heart and shown me that I am so much more than whatever my career is, and my identity is through Him and so that is a peace that I have, knowing I can walk away,’ she continued.

But this isn’t the end of the road for her career.

Dafnis Ryan said that she will ‘definitely’ still have to continue working, and has a few ideas up her sleeve.

‘I’m very excited for the next chapter, and I’m excited to just be able to spend time with my kids and just be present with my kids,’ she said, before jokingly admitting that she has felt like a ‘zombie.’

‘Praise God for the opportunity to walk away and praise God for the opportunity to have been in this industry,’ she concluded.

‘It’s all through him and I am just so grateful for every part of this journey and so ready for what’s next.’

Dafnis Ryan has two children, daughter Lydia, who is nearly one year old, and son Colt, two-and-a-half, with her husband, Hunter Ryan.

In the comment section of her video announcement, many commended her for making the difficult choice to step away.

‘Very few people know the grind of a morning news schedule, and you always brought great energy! You bring that same grind and energy to the next venture and you’ll be great,’ one Instagram user wrote.

Another agreed: ‘Always trust in him – so much more important to be with your children and raising them.’

Previously, Dafnis Ryan was a Thunder Girl dancer for the Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team.

A 17-year-old girl from North Carolina is facing murder charges in connection with the deadly San Diego mosque shooting, after prosecutors alleged she recorded a livestream of the attack and circulated the attackers’ manifesto.

Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill said Monday that the teenager, named in court records as Sarah L. Santiago, has been indicted on three counts of murder by aiding and abetting, along with one count of conspiracy, The Associated Press reported.

Authorities say Santiago was not in California when the May 18 shooting unfolded. Still, prosecutors allege she played a role from across the country by recording the attackers’ livestream, helping spread it online and posting their manifesto.

“She disseminated that information. And she published their manifesto,” O’Neill said.

Caleb Vazquez, 18, and Cain Clark, 17, stormed the Islamic Center of San Diego armed and intending to kill people inside, according to authorities.

The gunmen killed three men — Amin Abdullah, Nadir Awad and Mansour Kaziha — who confronted them and helped prevent further bloodshed.

The attackers later died by suicide in a vehicle nearby, police said.

Authorities said the mosque was one target in a broader attack plan.

“Their plan that day was to commit mass murders not only at the mosque, but to follow up at a local Jewish temple. And finally, at a predominantly African-American high school there in town,” O’Neill said.

The indictment alleges Santiago agreed before the attack to record and distribute the gunmen’s livestream and publish their manifesto. She is also accused of buying a patch bearing a white-supremacist symbol for one of the attackers to wear during the shooting, The Associated Press reported.

O’Neill said Santiago could face charges in North Carolina even though she was not physically present in California.

“She didn’t have to be in California, she’s in our jurisdiction,” O’Neill said. “And today, a grand jury indicted her and held her responsible for her actions leading up to that disastrous day in May.”

O’Neill noted that North Carolina law allows a 17-year-old accused of such conduct to be treated as an adult.

Authorities said the broader investigation has included more than 100 interviews, over 30 search warrants and a review of more than 4 million messages.

“Our investigation shows that the individual had multiple opportunities to come forward to law enforcement and alert us of these deliberate actions, and the failure to do so must have consequences,” FBI Charlotte Special Agent in Charge Reid Davis said.

A Nevada jury has convicted the man accused in the killing of Tupac Shakur, closing a major chapter in one of the entertainment world’s most enduring and closely watched murder cases.

Duane “Keffe D” Davis, 63, heard the verdict Monday in a Las Vegas courtroom following a trial that lasted roughly two weeks.

Davis, described as a former senior “shot caller” in a Los Angeles-based Crips faction, is the first person to be held legally accountable for Shakur’s death, which stemmed from a drive-by shooting on a Las Vegas street on Sept. 7, 1996.

Shakur, a defining voice in the rise of 1990s hip-hop, was riding in a car when another vehicle pulled alongside and gunfire erupted. He died several days later at age 25.

Prosecutors did not allege that Davis personally fired the weapon that killed Shakur. Instead, they argued he supplied the gun to the shooter — widely believed to have been his nephew, Orlando Anderson, who was killed in a gang-related shootout two years later — and helped plan the attack.

They came to that conclusion largely from Davis’ own words — he apparently owned up to it while trying to dodge potential charges in 2008, and later detailed the entire plot in a 2019 memoir that ended up leading straight to his 2023 arrest.

Davis’ defense, however, argued those admissions were pure falsehoods — with attorney Michael Sanft characterizing the memoir as historical fiction, even going so far to compare it to the movie “Titanic.”

“Has anybody seen the documentary called ‘Titanic,’ with Jack and Rose?” Sanft jibbed during closing statements.

But prosecutors argued Davis’ own statements were just the icing on the cake — saying the case was “drenched with circumstantial evidence” placing him in the middle of the crime.

His nephew had been beaten up by Shakur — said to be affiliated with a rival Blood gang — just hours before the killing, which prosecutors argued necessitated a violent response by unspoken gangland rules.

“That was the nature of the gang life in the 1990s in Compton – you had no choice, you could not go back to Compton after being beaten publicly,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal said during his closing arguments.

That response was organized by an enraged Davis, who Palal said “got a gun and went hunting for Tupac Shakur.”

Former Crips leader Duane “Keffe D” Davis has been convicted of orchestrating the 1996 drive-by shooting that claimed the life of rap legend Tupac Shakur.

Davis, 63, was charged with one count of murder with a deadly weapon, with prosecutors alleging the killing was carried out to promote, further or assist a criminal gang.

When the verdict was announced in court Monday, Sekyiwa “Set” Shakur, the rapper’s sister, appeared to quietly break down in tears, CNN reports.

Prosecutors said Davis plotted the ambush as retaliation after members of Shakur’s entourage attacked his nephew, Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson, inside the MGM Grand hours earlier following a Mike Tyson fight.

Although Davis was not accused of firing the fatal shots, prosecutors argued he provided the gun and helped set the deadly attack in motion, leading to the death of the 25-year-old hip-hop icon.

In closing arguments on Monday, Chief Deputy District Attorney Binu Palal told jurors that Davis acquired a gun and ‘went hunting’ for Shakur and Death Row Records co-founder Marion ‘Suge’ Knight.

Palal acknowledged that Davis’ accounts of the killing evolved over the years but argued those differences reflected Davis’ changing motivations and efforts to protect himself. One critical detail, he said, remained consistent: Davis repeatedly placed himself inside a white Cadillac from which the shots were fired.

‘The core facts remain. The material facts remain,’ Palal said.

But Davis’ defense attorney, Michael Sanft, challenged jurors to identify evidence outside his client’s own statements that placed him in Las Vegas or inside the Cadillac on the night Shakur was shot.

He also noted there was an absence of surveillance footage, phone records and other evidence putting Davis there.

‘They have nothing in this case that says that man was here in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996,’ Sanft said, pointing toward Davis.

The panel of 16 jurors, four of whom are alternates, heard testimony from 24 prosecution witnesses and three defense witnesses over nine days.

The trial now brings to a head a decades-old case that for years has drawn the eyes of hip-hop fans and true crime experts alike. 

Shakur, who was considered one of the most influential rappers of all time, was in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and stopped at a red light when a white Cadillac pulled up beside him, and shots were fired. He died six days later from his wounds.

Knight was also wounded but survived.

For years, nobody had been charged in the rapper´s death until Davis began making public statements, saying he was in the Cadillac and gave the gun to others in the backseat. Davis described the shooting as an act of retaliation after Knight and Shakur´s entourage beat up Davis´ nephew hours before the shooting.

Under Nevada law, someone who helps another person commit murder can be convicted of the crime.

Davis is the only person still alive among the four men prosecutors say were in the Cadillac. The man who prosecutors say originally gave the gun to Davis is also dead.

Palal told jurors that if they believe Davis’ statements, they do not have to be independently corroborated with additional evidence.

Still, he pointed to the rivalry between the South Side Compton Crips and Mob Piru, the fight with Orlando ‘Baby Lane’ Anderson and testimony that members of Shakur´s circle identified Anderson and Davis as suspects the night of the shooting. 

Witnesses had also testified to the heated gang rivalry between the South Side Compton Crips and Mob Piru, which were associated with dueling record companies Bad Boy Records and Death Row Records.

‘Who fired is not the question,’ Palal said. 

Prosecutors haven’t argued that Davis pulled the trigger, but instead that he was criminally responsible because he provided the gun and ordered the attack.

Palal also argued the shooting was premeditated, pointing to testimony and Davis´ accounts that the group searched for Shakur before spotting him on the road and making a U-turn. 

‘It’s a plan, not an impulse,’ Palal said.

Palal held up Davis´ 2019 memoir, Compton Street Legend, and played an interview in which Davis encouraged people to buy it to get the ‘real truth.’ Although the book contains a disclaimer saying some facts were changed, Palal argued that names, hotels and other details changed while the central account did not.

Palal also rejected the defense’s contention that Davis fabricated his accounts to make money. 

‘It is an entirely different proposition to be profiting from a murder,’ Palal said. ‘And that is what Mr. Davis is doing.’

Sanft also turned to his client’s memoir during his closing argument. While reading an excerpt, he said the N-word aloud, prompting people watching in an overflow courtroom to recoil and shake their heads.

In multiple interviews, Davis said he handed the gun to the back seat, but in others as well as in his book, Davis wouldn´t say who pulled the trigger.

In a rebuttal argument, prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo pointed to a scrapbook Davis kept containing articles about Shakur.

‘This guy’s scrapbooking his murder, for God’s sake,’ DiGiacomo told jurors.

The prosecution’s witnesses included a gang expert who described Davis as the shot caller that younger gang members had to obey. Sanft asked jurors if there was any evidence that Davis had ever called the shots before or after the shooting.

During the trial, investigators said a Las Vegas hotel bill was found at Davis´ residence during a police search, but it wasn´t clear when it was dated – or where that evidence is currently located.

The case is nearly 30 years old, which has affected the kind of evidence presented in court. Prosecutors warned jurors that material collected in the ´90s is different from what law enforcement collects today, including hotel surveillance video from the night of the shooting.
