Hey, remember angry Sarah Nome, the lady who refused to move out of the Kaiser hospital in Marin for over a year, and ran up a $1.4 million bill? Well, Kaiser's 1) gotten ownership of her house in San Anselmo and 2) will be auctioning it off to pay off her tab. Kaiser was awarded the house after Nome was put in the care of the state (after her daughter refused to take her in), and has been paying the mortgage while their case against Nome was pending -- even though they haven't actually been given access to the place. The house isn't in the best of shape -- it's apparently been hit by falling trees and Nome was in a fight with her insurance to get them to pay for it -- but given the real estate market in Marin, we're guessing it'll probably move fairly quickly.
Someone called in a bomb threat to the always-crowded Southwest Terminal 2 in the Oakland Airport yesterday afternoon, necessitating an evacuation of the terminal. The airport got three calls at around 1 p.m., and one specifically named a flight going to Chicago. The flight checked out fine, as did the airport, and they reopened the airport about an hour later.
And a man is dead after getting in a fight with ambulance workers at the Fremont BART early last Saturday morning. The passenger was escorted off the last Fremont train at around 1:30 a.m. by BART police after complaining about being sick. After the cops left, the passenger got confrontational with one of the female ambulance workers. Her male co-worker tried to intervene, the passenger started wrestling with him, the ambulance folks called the cops back, and while the cops were trying to subdue the passenger, he lost consciousness. The ambulance workers (hardest workers in the biz) then gave the passenger CPR, but he died despite their efforts.
