LOMPOC, Calif. (KEYT) – The Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office arrested Shane Ryan Gledhill on 15 felony charges of sexual abuse and exploitation of children after a nearly five-year investigation.

The initial investigation began in Nov. 2021 after a 17-year-old survivor reported suspicious and inappropriate conduct when she was 15 involving Gledhill, according to the SBCSO.

SBCSO detectives later identified two additional survivors and served a search warrant at Gledhill’s home in the 3000 block of Courtney Drive in Lompoc on February, 23, 2022.

SBCSO investigators found thousands of digital files, which were later examined through extensive digital forensic investigation.

SBCSO detectives found nine additional survivors during their continued investigation, all of whom were minors during the alleged crimes.

Gledhill contracted many of his survivors through casting calls and filmmaking projects using the professional names “Shane Ryan” and “Shane Ryan-Reid,” according to the SBCSO.

SBCSO detectives hope Gledhill’s booking photo will help identify additional survivors or witnesses as individuals who interacted with him may not recognize his legal name.

SBCSO detectives also believe Gledhill used the following social media accounts and websites to maintain an online presence:

Instagram: @madsincinema, @talkhardcinema, @shaneryanreid, @shaneryanreidfilms Facebook: Shane Ryan Reid Websites: madsincinema.com, shaneryanfilm.weebly.com

SBCSO detectives arrested Gledhill at his Lompoc home on Monday before booking him into the Northern Branch Jail on $500,000 bail under the following felony charges:

child molestation rape forcible sexual assault contacting a minor with intent to commit a sexual offense possession of child sexual abuse material providing harmful matter to a minor

Gledhill’s criminal conduct may have spanned 25 years across the Central Coast, LA area and the East Coast through his filmmaking and casting, according to the SBCSO.

Additional survivors may still be unidentified based on the information in the ongoing investigation, according to the SBCSO.

Anyone who has had contact with Gledhill or has information relevant to the investigation are encouraged to contact the SBCSO or anonymously using the SB Sheriff’s Office website.

Sexual abuse and assault survivors are also encouraged to contact either the Victim-Witness Assistance Program or the Standing Together to End Sexual Assault Services.

Bannock County Commissioners talk more about placing 180-day emergency pause on Data Center permits

KIFI on August 4, 2026

Hadley Bodell

BANNOCK COUNTY, Idaho (KIFI) – As potential data centers continue to dominate conversation in Eastern Idaho, the Bannock County Board of Commissioners enacted a temporary moratorium on Thursday, July 30, pausing acceptance of data center permit applications. The moratorium will last 180 days, completely stopping review of any data center proposals within county jurisdiction.

According to a press release sent by Bannock County public information officer Emma Iannacone, the temporary pause will give the Planning and Development staff the time required to research and craft ordinance that aligns with county preferences. This will include creating an entirely standalone data center ordinance, “designed to protect natural resources, energy infrastructure, utility ratepayers, and community character across the county.”

“I realized we didn’t have an ordinance governing data centers,” said Jeff Hough, Chairman of the Bannock County Commissioners. “That meant we didn’t have the ability to control what size of data center came to our community.”

It also meant that, before the moratorium went into effect, the county would have no legal authority to say ‘no’ to a data center proposal on Bannock County land. They wouldn’t be able to deny a conditional use permit request, and Hough said this is why it was imperative to immediately put a moratorium in place so they have the legal basis to deny applicants.

The Board of Commissioners also emphasized that county jurisdiction does not include the City of Pocatello, as the battle for a data center through Lex Developments continues within city limits. The moratorium includes strictly land within unincorporated county jurisdiction.

“We want to look at the pros and cons of it and the locations, and present those findings to the Planning and Development Council,” Hough said. “Then, the public hearing process is in place to give the public opportunity to speak out on whatever the commission decides at that point in time.”

Pocatello Mayor Mark Dahlquist explained in a June 2026 interview that Pocatello City Code did not thoroughly or distinctly include data center regulations for land use, making the permitting process with developers complicated. Bannock County is acting proactively to finalize a rewrite of the Land Use and Development Ordinance (LUDO).

“I would be lying if I said the situation in Pocatello didn’t influence some of this decision,” Hough said. “We would like some of the cities to participate in our council because obviously, it’ll come to them as well. So if we can all work together to come up with something that works for us collectively and individually, that’ll be the hope of that committee to help out.”

Hough said data centers were not included in that ordinance, and this 180-day pause will allow staff to address data centers directly. Bannock County will have LUDO public hearings to hear from the public about data center regulation expectations. The county stressed that public input is an invaluable part of the rewriting process and residents will have opportunities to speak on data centers and provide feedback before any new regulations are official.

“It gives us the opportunity to decide what works for Bannock County. Rather than being held up against the wall, [like] Pocatello might’ve been, we’re trying to avoid that and be proactive,” Hough said. “We like to say we’re open for business, but the right kind of business and the right size. We need to make sure that we protect who we are and our resources with everything that we do.”

Bannock County has also launched a dedicated website for residents to track updates and review drafted materials. Residents may also find opportunities for public input and announcements on the page, found HERE at bannockcounty.gov/datacenter.

Bannock County also stated data centers present a “unique land-use, resource, and infrastructure considerations.” The Planning and Development staff is focusing on major community concerns including water consumption, energy use, noise levels and zoning suitability.

“With what’s going on in Pocatello, there are data centers looking around, trying to find some opportunities,” Hough said. “With the energy resources that we have here in Bannock County, we’re a good candidate for that.”

Grocery deliveries in extreme desert heat

KESQ on August 4, 2026

Kiera McKinney

PALM DESERT, CALIF. (KESQ)- As temperatures continue to climb into the triple digits, more people are relying on grocery delivery services.

What happens when those groceries are left sitting outside in 115-120 degree heat? How quickly refrigerated and frozen foods can become unsafe in extreme desert temperatures and whether current food safety guidelines change in this kind of heat.

Dr. William Woo, the Assistant Chief of family medicine at Kaiser Permanente said “Do not rely on things like smell alone. Your food may smell normal, may look normal, may even taste normal. But if it’s been out in the heat too long, it may make you sick.”

Dr. Woo says perishable items like meat, fish, and dairy products are some of the biggest conerns. He also recommends bringing deliveries inside as soon as possible and refreiderating items if you’re not eating them right away.

“When the temperature rises into the low hundreds and one teen area. The bacteria really starts to multiply. Your food could spoil and become dangerous in as little as one hour,” says Dr. Woo.

That can lead to food borne illness caused by bacteria such as salmonella, E.coli, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus.

Customers told me they’ve also changed how they order food during the summer months, “Ive gotten my groceries delivered from Walmart and Costco. In the heat I tend to pick up my ice cream and cold things myself, and I use a freezer bag and immediately when I pick it up in the store, I put it in the freezer bag,” said Mary Volkman.

Idaho Fish and Game and Bonneville County Animal Control officials load a tranquilized moose into a truck before relocating and releasing it back into the wild.

The moose will be released back into the wild, although officials did not disclose where the animal will be relocated.

The capture comes after several recent moose sightings around Idaho Falls.

Idaho Fish and Game says moose can sometimes wander into lower-elevation residential and urban areas. Officials remind people who encounter a moose to keep their distance and never approach the animal.

Two firefighters treated for ‘heat-related illness’ at Providence Road McDonald’s scene

KMIZ on August 4, 2026

Ryan Shiner

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Multiple firefighters were treated for heat-related illness on Tuesday after they responded to a fire at the new McDonald’s at 200 South Providence Road, Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer told an ABC 17 News reporter on Tuesday afternoon.

The Columbia Fire Department later stated in a press release that two firefighters were evaluated.

The road was shut down between and Elm and Locust streets as first responders worked the area. Smoke was seen coming from the roof of the building when ABC 17 News arrived at 4:14 p.m.

An ABC 17 News reporter saw 10 firetrucks on the scene and at least three ladders were placed next to the building. Four firefighters were on the roof when ABC 17 News first arrived.

The fire at the building went from the main floor into the attic, Schaeffer said. No one who was in the building when the fire started was injured, Schaeffer said.

A cause has not been identified and Schaeffer said it’s too early to know if the fire was related to recent construction. The business is currently closed, but it is not a total loss. A day or time for reopening was not known.

Columbia voters narrowly approve 1% public safety sales tax that could generate $38 million annually

KMIZ on August 4, 2026

Euphenie Andre

COLUMBIA, MO. (KMIZ)

Columbia voters on Tuesday approved a 1% public safety sales tax that city leaders claim would generate about $38 million each year to support police and fire services.

The measure passed 15,042 votes to 14,957.

Members of the Columbia Professional Firefighters IAFF Local 1055 gathered 7 p.m. Tuesday to watch election results as they wait to learn whether voters would approve the propositions.

During the past month, city officials held informational meetings in each of Columbia’s six wards to explain how the proposed tax would work and what the additional funding could provide if approved.

Columbia Professional Firefighters Union President Zachary Privette said firefighters, police officers and other supporters have spent weeks educating voters about what the proposed tax would fund.

Privette said he believes Columbia’s police and fire departments have fallen decades behind the city’s growing public safety needs. He said the additional funding would help both departments improve staffing, equipment and services to better protect the community.

“This new revenue generated will give us the opportunity to bring the department to 2026 and take us into the future,” Privette said.

While acknowledging that many families are closely watching their budgets, Privette said he believes the added cost of the sales tax would be outweighed by the long-term benefits. He said the investment would strengthen emergency response capabilities and improve public safety for Columbia residents.

After learning about the victory, Christian Hulan, the secretary-treasurer for Local 1055, said the funding will allow firefighters to respond faster and better serve the community.

“The new stations are going to go in areas where we have geographically long response times and certain parts of the cities where we expect growth and expected increased demand, and so ultimately, in certain parts of the cities, that’s going to mean faster response time, which is going to result in a safer community.” Hulan said.

Police department cites staffing and space needs

During one of the city’s public meetings last month, Columbia Police Chief Jill Schlude said the department’s top priorities include increasing officer pay to remain competitive with other law enforcement agencies across Missouri.

In July, Schlude said Columbia has grown significantly during the past 26 years, stretching department resources.

“We’ve added about 49,000 people and about 15 additional square miles, which is a 20-28% land mass increase that we’re responsible for providing services for,” Schlude said.

According to the department, Columbia currently has 1.40 police officers per 1,000 residents, compared with 1.49 officers per 1,000 residents 26 years ago.

Schlude also said the department’s current headquarters no longer meets the needs of modern policing, making a new facility one of the department’s largest priorities.

Fire department looks to improve response times

If approved, the tax would also fund major investments in the Columbia Fire Department, including hiring 42 additional firefighters, building two new fire stations and renovating three existing stations.

Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said adding 42 firefighters would allow every fire apparatus to be staffed with four firefighters instead of three.

“Those 42 will allow us to put a fourth firefighter on all of our apparatus. We currently only have three. Adding that fourth person allows us to split crews and basically double our effectiveness when it really matters,” Schaeffer said.

Schaeffer said the department opened an interim fire station in Ward 1 in May, an area made up largely of single-family homes. While the neighborhood is considered lower risk, he said firefighters still face longer response times because of the city’s continued growth.

“We want to be at your door 90% of the time within five minutes after we get alerted,” Schaeffer said. “We used to be able to achieve that. As the city has grown, there are areas and pockets of the city where we’re no longer able to meet that goal.”

Iconic Palm Springs restaurant Billy Reed’s enters a new era under new ownership

KESQ on August 4, 2026

Peter Daut

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. (KESQ)– After serving generations of locals and visitors for more than 50 years, Billy Reed’s restaurant in Palm Springs is beginning a new chapter.

The iconic restaurant has new owners who say preserving the restaurant’s legacy is their top priority.

Billy Reed founded the restaurant in 1975 and it has long been considered more than just a place to eat, but rather served as a gathering place over the decades. The new owners say customers can expect many of the restaurant’s signature touches to stay the same.

“So many people around the world were shocked and terrified when it went on the market, and we are in that same group. So to be able to be the ones to help keep it going for the next 50 is a huge honor,” said Josh Jennings, a new owner of Billy Reed’s.

The new owners hope to host a community celebration later this year. For more information watch Peter Daut’s full interview and stay with News Channel 3.
