SALINAS, California- Monterey County District Attorney Jeannine M. Pacioni announced on Monday, March 25 that Judge Mark E. Hood sentenced 30-year-old Agustin C. Serrano of Greenfield to 20 years in state prison for repeatedly stabbing a woman he dated. On the morning of January 20, 2017, Serrano and the victim engaged in conversation in the kitchen of the Greenfield home where they both rented rooms. The 2 had dated for about 3 months prior to the incident. Earlier, she told him she wanted to end their relationship, since she was 23 years older than Serrano. After their conversation, the victim got up to walk to her room. Serrano suddenly grabbed her by the neck, from behind, with his right hand. He then violently stabbed her with a knife he held in his left hand. Serrano cut her throat and stabbed her in the chest and right arm and leg. He immediately fled to Mexico. More than a year later, on August 1, 2018, Detective Leonel Guzman tracked Serrano down in Yuba City, California. He arrested and interviewed him. In the interview, Serrano admitted he stabbed the victim. Detective Leonel Guzman from the Greenfield Police Department skillfully investigated the case with assistance from Sergeant Armando Mendoza and David Doglietto, also from the Greenfield Police Department.

On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public.
