11 charged in California burglary spree that left home so damaged, bears moved in
Eleven people were charged in connection with a series of burglaries at a Northern California residence that resulted in so much damage to the home that bears were able to enter it, officials said Friday. Butte County's District Attorney's Office said first-degree residential burglary charges were filed against the group of nearly a dozen suspects accused of repeatedly targeting a 64-year-old woman's home in the small community of Magalia. The first reported incident happened on April 17, 2024, the district attorney's office said. This was followed by more burglaries that occurred so frequently that the woman stayed away from her home, in fear that the burglars would find her there upon returning. The Magalia home sustained so much damage that multiple bears were able to access the inside, causing even more damage. The eleven people charged were: Sean Anthony Crua, 43, of Magalia Nicholas Brown, 37, of Magalia Mary Ricca, 59, of Magalia Sefo Sipa, 37, of Paradise Gavin Dominguez-Feathers, 25, of Magalia Joey Kupiheanapeahi, 42, of Magalia Breanna Maier, 32, of Magalia Michael Barnett, 29, of Magalia Matthew Bacon, 44, of Magalia Lindsey McLaughlin, 37, of Magalia and Kayla Goebel, 34, of Magalia. Crua, Maier, Dominguez-Feathers, and Kupiheanapeahi all remain in custody of the Butte County Jail with bail set at $50,000, the district attorney's office said. Brown posted bail and the rest were released on their own recognizance, despite prosecutors objecting. All are expected back in court for further arraignment on July 9 and 10.

California stabbing suspect allegedly planned to kill several of his radio station coworkers, police say
Investigators say an attempted murder suspect arrested earlier in June allegedly had plans to kill several coworkers at his Northern California radio station. Chico police say officers responded to Results Radio along Manzanita Court on the morning of June 18 after getting reports that an employee at the station, later identified as 30-year-old Chico resident Kevin Leeson, had allegedly stabbed a coworker. At the scene, officers say the stabbing victim was trapped in a back patio with the suspect still inside the building -- blocking the person from getting out. The rest of the staff had evacuated. Police soon breached a fence at the back of the building and got to the stabbing victim, who was evaluated for minor injuries. With Leeson still inside the station and not coming out, crisis negotiators were called to the scene. Eventually, police say Leeson surrendered peacefully. Detectives allege that Leeson intended to kill several of his coworkers, but the plan was thwarted by how quickly the other employees and Chico police responded to the situation. Police did not detail how they learned of Leeson's alleged plans. Leeson has been arrested and booked into Butte County Jail. He's facing charges of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon.

Intense Teaser Trailer For Apple's Wildfire Drama THE LOST BUS Starring Matthew McConaughey — GeekTyrant
Apple has released a teaser trailer for their dramatic film The Lost Bus , based on the book 'Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire' by Lizzie Johnson. The film follows a wayward school bus driver, played by Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey, and a dedicated school teacher America Ferrera [who] battle to save 22 children from a terrifying inferno. In the trailer, we see McConaughey's character driving through California's Butte County as he gets a call on his radio. 'There is a situation developing at Ponderosa Elementary,' announces a voice on the radio. 'There are 22 kids who are stranded…is there anybody who can pick these kids up?' McConaughey then picks up his mic to answer the call, but just before he does, the trailer cuts away to images of billowing smoke, air support battling towering infernos and the bus careering through a fiery landscape. The film also stars Yul Vazquez, Ashlie Atkinson, Danny McCarthy and Spencer Watson. Director Paul Greengrass said of the film's narrative, ''The Lost Bus' is the story of quiet heroism — of people coming together in the face of the unthinkable. I'm honored to have been entrusted with this story.' Greengrass serves as director as well as co-writer with Brad Inglesby. Producers include Inglesby, Gregory Goodman, Jason Blum for Blumhouse Productions and Jamie Lee Curtis for Comet Pictures. Johnson serves as executive producer. The Last Bus comes to Apple TV+ and select theaters this fall. Check out the trailer below.

Watch Matthew McConaughey play a heroic school bus driver in Apple's new rescue thriller
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, BGR may receive an affiliate commission. Apple Original Films is building some serious momentum heading into the back half of 2025, with a lineup of feature films that blends star wattage and heart-pounding drama. The upcoming slate, for example, includes F1, a high-octane racing drama starring Brad Pitt that's already earning rapturous praise from critics, as well as Highest 2 Lowest — a stylish crime thriller from A24 starring Denzel Washington that delivers a modern reinterpretation of Akira Kurosawa's High and Low. Meanwhile, Apple has also just previewed yet another standout release coming soon: The Lost Bus, a rescue thriller starring Matthew McConaughey that's based on real events. Directed by Paul Greengrass (United 93, Captain Phillips) and written by Greengrass alongside Mare of Easttown creator Brad Ingelsby, The Lost Bus stars McConaughey and America Ferrera as two unlikely heroes caught in the chaos of the so-called 'Camp Fire' that began in Butte County, Calif., in 2018 and killed dozens of people. In the movie, McConaughey plays a school bus driver, while Ferrera is a devoted teacher, and together they attempt to lead 22 children to safety as the deadliest wildfire in California's history bears down on them.

The movie is also inspired by journalist Lizzie Johnson's book Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire, which came out of her on-the-ground reporting for the San Francisco Chronicle when the fire first broke out. Within hours, the fast-moving inferno had consumed entire neighborhoods, reduced landmarks to ash, and left residents scrambling to escape. Drawing on interviews, 911 calls, and grand jury records, Johnson's book delivers a moment-by-moment account of that day — as well as an indictment of failed systems that encompass everything from aging utility infrastructure to weak emergency alerts and the rising toll of climate-fueled disasters. With The Lost Bus, Apple is turning that account into an edge-of-your-seat drama anchored around jaw-dropping visuals (one that's also coming out the same year as the devastating Palisades wildfires that tore through parts of Los Angeles in January). And with a team that includes producers Jason Blum and Jamie Lee Curtis, the film is clearly positioned as a major streaming and theatrical release for fall 2025, with specific fall release timing to come later.
