• A San Francisco judge, Judge Sylvia Husing, ordered the release of the suspect, Tony Sheravaughn Phillips, accused of assaulting a member of Mayor Daniel Lurie's security detail. The judge noted that Phillips "was violently assaulted" first by the security guard, and while he has a troubling history of not showing up for court for other "repetitive" behavior, she released him pending another hearing on Thursday.
