Police and courts
Arrests, court cases, fires and crashes in the 15 South Coast towns, from police logs, department statements and court records, or from two independent newsrooms when no record is posted. We name adults charged with crimes only as our standards allow. We do not name juveniles, victims of sexual assault or domestic abuse, or people who are not charged. We report outcomes, including dismissals and not guilty verdicts, as prominently as the arrest.
