| Donation will help agency's works
A donation from the Val Verde County Sheriffs Office will help a local agency in areas where traditional funding does not cover.
Earlier this month the Sheriffs Office Santas donated $400 to the Quad Counties Council for Alcohol and Drug Abuse.
According to Quad Counties Executive Director Simon Sotelo, the money will be used to help fund incentives used to draw people toward events that focus on drug prevention and awareness. Areas typically not allowed by the state agencies that fund the organization.
(This money) will enable us to do prevention more effectively, especially in training parents in different subjects related to substance abuse prevention with adolescent kids, such as recognizing early signs (of drug use), said Sotelo.
Sotelo said some of the money will be spent on a project called Quad en tu Barrio (Quad in your neighborhood), where Quad Counties hosts loteria (bingo) sessions in different area colonias.
Cage's naked intruder sent to rehab
The naked intruder that Nicolas Cage found in his home last year has been ordered to undergo six months of drug rehab, according to officials. Robert Dennis Furo, pleaded guilty to one count of stalking during a court appearance just outside of Los Angeles. A judge dropped two charges against the 46-year-old and gave credit for time already served. Cage and his family were at their waterfront home in the exclusive, gated community of Newport Beach on October 1 when Furo entered the house. The National Treasure star found Furo standing near a bathroom wearing nothing but one of his leather jackets. The Oscar-winning actor confronted him, asked him to remove the jacket, escorted him outside, and called a security guard. Furo's lawyer, Jack Kayajanian, said his client was in a stupor caused by sleeping pills and the prescription pain killer Vicodin.
