Cal Fire employee arrested on suspicion of child porn possession, distribution
Manteca police say, back in May, they got a tip from the National Missing and Exploited Children organization.
The tip led detectives to allege that Joseph Trevor Forney had possessed, uploaded, and distributed child pornography involving victims under 10 years old.
Forney had been with Cal Fire since 2023 and had worked the Patterson, Santa Clara and Santa Cruz areas. After a warrant was issued, Manteca police say Forney was arrested at the Patterson Cal Fire station.
Police noted that, before working for Cal Fire, Forney had criminal history in Idaho but it was unrelated to child sex crimes. He had only cleared parole in 2024.
Forney has been booked into San Joaquin County Jail and is facing numerous charges related to possession of child sex abuse material.

A Minnesota state trooper drowned while boating on a South Dakota lake. Here's what we know
A Minnesota State Patrol trooper drowned while boating on Waubay Lake in South Dakota, the Day County Sheriff's Office said in a July 2 news release. The trooper, Mollie McClure, was in a boat on the northeast part of the lake before getting in the water to swim, the news release says. At some point, McClure wasn't able to keep swimming and went under before rescue efforts could save her. An initial search involving multiple agencies began in the early evening hours of June 29, but McClure wasn't found. With darkness and the possibility of severe weather looming, the search was postponed until the early morning hours of June 30, when McClure's body was recovered. Authorities plan to investigate why McClure wasn't able to remain above the water, but the news release says no criminal charges have been filed in connection with the incident and everyone involved has been cooperative. McClure joined the Minnesota State Patrol in October 2021 and served in the St. Cloud district, the agency said July 1. Her career included time spent training trooper academy cadets, serving as a peer counselor and participating in a workgroup focused on raising the number of female troopers in the agency. Waubay Lake is in South Dakota's Day County, roughly 60 miles east of Aberdeen.

How law enforcement prepares to keep communities safe during July Fourth
Americans will celebrate the Fourth of July on Friday, but behind the scenes, law enforcement agencies in big cities and small towns across the U.S. will be on high alert to keep the holiday secure. This year, the Department of Homeland Security has activated its national terrorism advisory system following U.S. strikes against Iran. In Fairfax County, Virginia, the Real Time Crime Center is the hub of police operations. For the Fourth of July, it's all hands on deck, Chief of Police Kevin Davis told CBS News. "I think I wouldn't be doing my job if I wasn't always worried, but we know our ability to react is better than it ever has been," Davis said. Police there have the ability to tap into more than 20,000 live cameras across the county, including those worn by officers. "It puts us in a great position to get additional assistance to the police officers in the street," Davis said. Nearly 300 officers in the county will be activated on Friday alongside the civil disturbance unit. A helicopter and drones will also be on standby. Assistant Chief of Police Bob Blakely expects large gatherings across the county's more than 400 parks. "We try to always be highly visible. We believe, you know, preparedness, a little bit of prevention goes a long way," Blakely said. Officers will be visible on the ground and along the waterways. "July 4th is probably the busiest day of the year," said Master Police Officer Tim Judd, who captains Marine Patrol One. "We all work together to ensure a safe outcome." For families who are nervous to bring their children to their local holiday fireworks, Davis advised, "have a plan, celebrate the Fourth of July and just know that your local police department is here to keep you safe."
