good evening, and thanks for joining us on this friday. i'm raj mathai. >> and i'm vicky nguyen in for jessica aguirre. a san ramon police officer arrested in connection with an alleged dirty cop scandal in contra costa county appeared in court for the first time today. 38-year-old louis lombardi faces several felony charges including conspiracy to sell drugs. it's a story new at 6:00. nbc bay area's jodi hernandez joins us now live from martinez, where lombardi appeared for the arraignment today, jodi. >> reporter: vicky, louis lombardi is now the fourth person with law enforcement ties to have been added to this 38-count complaint. sources tell nbc bay area that investigators have a large amount of evidence, evidence they say proves the police officer was dealing drugs. >> he seems like he's in decent spirits given the gravity of all

the charges. >> reporter: just yesterday san ramon police officer louis lombardi was reporting to work. now he's behind bars. accused of taking part in a law enforcement drug scheme. >> it's a difficult situation, to say the least, to go from the position of being on the other side of the bars to being where officer lombardi is now. >> the charges are 182, conspiracy to sell pharmaceutical drugs. >> reporter: according to the criminal complaint, lombardi teamed up with private eye christopher butler and former narcotics enforcement task force commander norman welsh to sell drugs taken from law enforcement evidence lockers. the complaint says lombardi sold marijuana and ecstasy to one of c-net's confidential informants in arizona, instructing him to send the proceeds to lombardi's discovery bay home. lombardi's also charged with gun possession and embezzlement. sources tell nbc bay area he used undercover sting money to

buy guns, guns he said he destroyed but actually kept for himself. >> this is a bad thing. i recognize that. the whole law enforcement community does. but the bottom line is there's far too many men and women out there that are doing the right thing, and in cases like this one when we have to police our own it's unfortunate, but we have to do it. >> reporter: again, sources tell us that the investigators searched both lombardi's discovery bay home and several other locations in the bay area. they confiscated weapons and drugs. now, sources tell us also that the arizona confidential informant is cooperating with investigators. in fact, the information that investigators got from arizona gave them what they needed to file the charges today. lombardi will be back in court on may 13th to enter a plea. reporting live in martinez, i'm jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. >> okay, jodi. thank you. we move on to san jose now. a stabbing, a carjacking, and

vandalism. anger in san jose today as the city's traditional cinco de mayo celebration once again turned rowdy and violent. some of those who caused the damage are now behind bars. but the problem may not be over. we bring you nbc bay area's kimberly tere, who joins us from downtown san jose. and kimberly, the focus is now on tonight as business owners and police get ready for what might be another whiled scene? >> reporter: it's a double-edged sword, raj. merchants want the crowds because they want the business. what they don't want is this, that is, the crime that might come along with it. some cinco de mayo partiers got out of hand last night, and police are preparing for round two, with the cinco de mayo party expected to keep going on here for days. merchants are cleaning up the mess left behind by rowdy cinco de mayo partiers while bracing themselves for what may come as the celebration continues through the weekend. >> i think it's a disgrace to the holiday, for cinco de mayo. i don't know why they chose this way to celebrate their holiday,

come and break windows. it's just not right. >> there were people walking by and doing damage to the properties, to every single business around here. and i got affected because they broke my glass window. >> reporter: san jose's cinco de mayo party which is touted as the largest in northern california also led to a couple of violent incidents, including a stabbing and carjacking. several arrests were made as san jose police worked to control the crowds. >> it is a unique holiday to san jose. it's important to the community. it's important to the business owners. so we like the large crowds that are there to celebrate peacefully. it's that small element that commits crime that we tend to focus on. >> reporter: police say even that is difficult at times because of sheer numbers. >> you might have 10 or 12 officers up against 400 or 500 rowdy revelers, and that can get a little dicey if officers venture into that crowd on their own to try to catch somebody. a lot of the crime on cinco de mayo goes unreported and a lot of the suspects remain at large unfortunately. >> police expect more crowds to gather tonight and over the next

few days. they say they're working to reach out to merchants and focusing on the pockets of the city where vandals have been known to strike. >> it's unacceptable. it's very unacceptable. >> reporter: police made seven arrests overnight. the majority of them being misdemeanors. live from san jose, kimberly tere, nbc bay area news. >> kimberly, thank you. let's turn our attention to the weather now. a cooler start for the weekend. our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri is here. you said it was going to happen and it's happening right now. >> it wouldn't be the bay area without the fog. the past couple of days we haven't had any fog, but now that cooling onshore wind has come back, and with a vengeance, anywhere from 15 to 30 miles per hour out of the west, helping to drop temperatures dramatically, anywhere from 15 to almost 30 degrees cooler here across the bay area at this current hour compared to this time yesterday. some of the biggest drops in the almaden valley from 96 yesterday to 76 today. los gatos also from 95 yesterday to 76 today. and south san jose dropping se

20 degrees. now, hot high pressure that has been with us is starting to fade, and that is making room for, well, an even cooler weekend. we'll let you know how low the numbers will go, coming up. serial murder suspect joseph naso will represent himself in court. the 77-year-old millionaire told the judge that no one knows the facts of his case better than he does. he says because he supports a mentally disabled son he's concerned about spending his money on legal fees. the judge approved the request. naso is accused of killing four women in northern california, including an 18-year-old from san jose whose body was found near fairfax. police arrested naso after finding descriptions of torture, photos, and a list of women's names during a probation search of his home. naso is being held without bail in marin county. budget cuts are being felt all across bay area classrooms, but today a canceled school day at an east bay high school turned into a teachable moment. students and teachers at mount diablo high in concord teamed up

strategy in oakland will get a yea or nay vote from city leaders next week. today in an oakland courtroom closing arguments were heard for the city's second gang injunction against 40 alleged gang members in the city's fruitvale district. injunction opponents filled the halls of the courthouse to protest this afternoon. they say suppression tactics from community relations -- sours community relations and they don't have the same impact on gang activity as jobs, education, and mentoring programs. one of the defense attorneys for one of the gang members of the for thenn nortenos gang says it doesn't go far. >> there's insufficient evidence to put each of these defendants under the gang injunction. of course there's very general and unspecific evidence about gang behavior but this case is supposed to be about individuals. >> reporter: the proposed anti-crime strategy is the brainchild of outgoing oakland's city attorney john russo. he leaves the city in early june to become alameda's new city

manager. bart trains are running back on schedule tonight after officers had to remove a man threatening to use weapons of mass destruction. officers responded to the 12th street oakland city center station this morning. the man was later deemed harmless, but the incident did cause a few delays. officers responded quickly. they have been on increased patrols after last weekend's takedown of osama bin laden. a tuned video journalist who spent seven months in federal prison five years ago is in trouble again. five years ago he refused to turn over footage of a san francisco street protest which injured a police officer. this time around uc berkeley officials are accusing josh wolf of violating campus rules when he documented students occupying a building in 2009. it was during a protest over tuition increases. cal is ordering wolf to write an essay that can help administrators develop a policy for dealing with student journalists. the dean of cal's journalism program supports wolf, saying he acted within his first amendment rights. up next at 6:00, the final

>> reporter: online work means you can be anywhere there's a computer with office, office with bouncy ball, or coffee shop. >> because of the internet you and i can now work together remotely more successfully. better communication, better collaboration, fatter pipes, higher bandwidth, et cetera. >> reporter: with thousands of jobs to be filled, a company like odesk is helping to put people back to work while helping companies save money, letting them eventually hire even more workers. is this the start of a new hiring boom? >> i believe that the answer is yes. but i feel like we're not even at the knee of the curve. it's still early. and the world is just waking up to it now. >> reporter: and for what it's worth, odesk itself which already doubled in size over the last two years is still hiring. all right. the strong job news propelled stocks higher today, closing out a shaky week with some gains. oil, by the way, dropping again. still below $100 a barrel to the point now where at long last some energy watchers are telling

assemblyman dan logue says it's time for the california state legislature and the governor to wake up. >> i would like to ask the governor to start concentrating on jobs instead of taxes and ask the governor to declare a state of economic emergency in california and start suspending regulations that are crushing the ability for businesses to compete. >> the survey says texas is the best state to do business. you might recall last month a dozen california lawmakers traveled to texas where they met with the state's governor and business leaders to inquire about their business methods. well, you might not believe it, but americans are paying less at the pump. u.s. gas prices are down for the first time in 45 days. the national average for a gallon of regular unleaded is $3.98. financial analysts say a weaker u.s. dollar is the reason for the drop at the pump. today's average is still $1.06 more than it was this time a year ago. and of course we in the bay area are paying a lot more than that national average. drivers in san francisco paying

$4.32 a gallon. san jose drivers $4.28. and oakland drivers $4.27 on average. from the diamond to the heavens. a member of the san francisco giants will soon be on his way into space. it's not buster posey. it's not tim lincecum. but it's one of their coaches. batting coach hensley mullens will be part of a group of space travelers when the caribbean nation of curacao launches a space tourism business in 2014. here's hensley right here. we're told space flights will cost about $90,000 each. closer to home a disappointing day for a group of rocket scientists. their mission to space was delayed. a group of lockheed martin engineers who built a military satellite gathered at lockheed's sunnyvale office to watch the satellite launch on board a rocket. but the weather over at cape canaveral was a little too cloudy. so the launch was scrapped. they'll try again tomorrow. well, what do you get the guy who has everything? >> it's not me. >> how about you like his home

urban feel to it. it's very nice. all right. meanwhile, let's take a look outside right now. it's breezy to windy here from the coastline to our inland spots. and it's all about the wind here in the bay area. winds $10 10 to 20 miles an hou primarily out of the west has helped to cool us off dramatically. we're seeing a 20 to 25 degree drop from this time yesterday. 24 in livermore, 21 in concord, 22 in novato. from our cooling, westerly flow, a lot of 60s on the board and still some 70s. warm spot in the south bay with 76 in los gatos, 77 in gilroy, 70 in san jose and 76 in the almaden valley. with 50s up toer 60s for a good part of the peninsula. so here's that primary cause of the cooling, the fog starting to roll in right across the golden gate bridge in san francisco. winds westerly at 30 miles per hour. most of us all right in the 50s right now across our weather board. so as we look ahead toward tonight we'll see the fog returning. we do have some showers across eureka. we're not going to have to worry about that at all. and we're just going to be

seeing for the next couple of days this aggressive fog pattern staying put and that onshore flow which will even drop temperatures more as we head toward this th upcoming weekend. we're going to start off at 5:00 a.m. on saturday with low 50s. then as we transition into about 11:00 a.m. only low 60s here from oakland to livermore down to san jose. so not nearly as warm as it has been the past couple of days. we'll have more on your mother's day forecast and some big-time cooling for all the moms out there as we head into sunday coming up. >> okay, jeff, we'll see you soon. even at 80 years old he's still the say hey kid. giants legend willie mays, who many consider to be the greatest player in history, is celebrating his 80th birthday today. happy birthday. here's mays from last year's world series parade through downtown san francisco. at at&t park tonight the giants will celebrate mays' milestone birthday with a pregame ceremony. gets going in just a little while. the game starts at 7:15, but the pregame ceremony at 6:50 before their game against the colorado rockies. the first 20,000 fans, a lot of

successful week in the war on terror. i'm steve -- >> and that was steve handelsman reporting. now, as al qaeda confirms the death of its leader without any photographic evidence, the terrorist group has plans to retaliate against the u.s. new postings on militant websites tell of an uprising and an upcoming release of an audio message recorded by osama bin laden just a week before his death at the hands of u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s on monday. al qaeda's remaining leadership is also calling on muslims to take action against u.s. forces. >> protest against this -- and then the american assault. >> also tonight pakistanis are being urged to reject what many there are calling the american invasion of their sovereignty. the former president of pakistan, pervez musharraf, is criticizing his own country for failing to find osama bin laden. >> my belief is that it is a big

slip-up. indeed, it is extremely regrettable. indeed, we have to find who slipped up. and we must take action against those who did not deliver. >> he's been vocal for several days now. the compound where bin laden was killed is near a military academy and within a community of thousands of military personnel, many of them retired. musharraf may also face stark criticism over the apparent intelligence lapse. he was still president at the time that it's widely believed bin laden first moved into that compound. you can stay with us here at nbc bay area news for continuing coverage of the death of osama bin laden. we also have extensive coverage on our website, nbc bay area.com. just search bin laden. and we continue to follow the progress of beaten giants fan bryan stow. he is still in a coma following a beating at dodger stadium on march 31st. doctors are worried about fluid building up on his brain. it is a common occurrence with brain trauma. they decided to hold off on his

but the person in charge of improving health conditions at the overcrowded facilities says conditions are better than they were a year ago. however, there are issues that make serving the large population efficiently almost impossible. >> they go into lockdown. we have to deliver medication to every cell front. instead of having the inmates come to a line. well, that's just almost impossible for us to do given the number of prisoners in each these facilities. we just don't have the staffing. we'd break the bank if we were to try to do it. >> the supreme court is expected to rule soon on whether california must sharply reduce its prison population as the only way to improve health care for physically or mentally ill inmates. well, a wet winter can make for a nasty allergy season. all those plants which make us sneeze are growing quickly and in abundance. and now experts are finding that people who are allergic to pollen can also be affected by the foods that share the proteins in those pollens. they point to apples, cherries,

three-section panel entitled "pond in golden gate park." it was created by the late artist mark adams. the panel was in storage at the moss conn moscone center when it disappeared. >> it's very exciting to find something from the collection that was originally stolen and we might actually recover it. it's an incredibly exciting prospect. and seeing it on craigslist was a bit of a surprise. >> police still have the stolen panel. they also have its seller under arrest. the city arts commission isn't certain what it will do with this extra piece of tapestry just yet. well, paying tribute to a great. >> it's been nearly four decades since he rounded the bases for the giants, but he's still a huge part of the community and the giants family.

henry's signature sound is a rattle. this is sea lion therapy. it's not a marine show. and it goes well because silent night and henry have known each other for quite some time. >> if you move around the bay, if you see them at pier 39, you'll see them in large numbers, and sometimes on these docks you'll see them two, three animals deep. they're very gregarious. they're very tactile and they are often found in large numbers. so to have a sea lion by itself is just not what they would be doing normally in the wild. >> and fortunately, the blind buddies get along swimmingly. >> yes, of course they do. well, we'll soon see a wild scene at fisherman's wharf in san francisco. and that's a good thing. salmon fishermen are getting a chance to fish for the first time in years. nbc bay area's joe rosato jr. gives us a tour of the action from one veteran fisherman. >> some of these guys all they do is salmon fish. >> reporter: with all the glow of a proud father fisherman larry collins gave a group of

>> california wild king salmon. >> of course this past year's water conditions, the rainfall, the snowpack now in the sierra are a good sign. >> reporter: two months ago collins and a group of fishermen formed their own fishing cooperative, allowing them to buy and sell their own seafood. >> the doors are open, and now we're just waiting for some fish to come in. most people when they come to fisherman's wharf they don't realize that this really is a working harbor. every one of these boats is owned by a family. >> reporter: now collins and his fishing family are hoping for a run of good luck and a chance to put the fish back in fisherman's wharf. joe rosato jr., nbc bay area news. >> the family is back in business. it's nice to see all of them now and the fishermen back in business there. >> yeah, nice for them to be able to get some nice weather, get out there, get on those boats. our jeff ranieri is here now with a look ahead at the mother's day forecast for the weekend. >> yeah. it's going to be cooling off for us. that story reminded me of those clam chowder bowls down at the wharf. i can go for one of those right now. i am starving. let's take a look at those

numbers in san francisco. we have 54 degrees. the fog is rolled in. can't really see much of the bay bridge, but that fog pushing in, winds westerly at 30 miles per hour, and it's that westerly wind that cranked up today. 15 to 30 miles per hour. that did drop these temperatures. let's get a look from 76 today. we had 96 yesterday in the almaden valley. 95 in los gatos to 76 today. 91 in south san jose, down to 71. we also had some 60s across the peninsula, redwood city in that club also. santa cruz with 69. and still warm once again throughout the south bay. so let's get a look at those current numbers. we're dropping off everywhere. with this persistent westerly wind, 50s and 60s for the entire coastline, and already upper 50s right now throughout the east bay. this time yesterday we still had 80 degree weather out there. throughout tonight we're going to see that fog continuing to build. these winds southwest 10 to 20 miles per hour. and for the weekend a mixed bag. some fog, clouds, and also some sun mixed in. so not a warm weekend here for

our mother's day weekend but still enjoyable. and as we look ahead we're going to have plenty of california sunshine coming back. so let's get a look at the satellite loop. this is what spurred off all these changes. this system that is producing rain in the northwest. we're in the dryer side p this. however, as that system continues to push into the northwest, it's just going to help to keep these onshore winds in place not only for saturday but also into sunday as we keep it on the cooler side with plenty of 60s and also 70s coming back. let's get a look at our cloud and fog futurecast and you can see current hour the fog off the coastline. then as we head throughout 11:00 p.m. the fog stays put. and that will stay in place as we head for 6:00 a.m. by tomorrow and even by 6:00 p.m. tomorrow the fog here still persistent. we'll see breaks of sunshine throughout saturday. but the fog coming back for the morning and also for the evening hours. let's get a look at tomorrow morgan. saturday morning hopefully you'll sleep in, read the paper, get mom some breakfast there,

start off the mother's day stuff, bring her some o.j. and coffee in bed and who knows what else? maybe some bacon and eggs. 70 san jose, 71 at evergreen, 67 in dublin. all the moms back at home are cheering right now. and the kids are going, what? jeff wants us to go to work tomorrow? 67 san mateo. 62 in san francisco. and also upper 60s to low 70s here inland. napa 68. and also sonoma looking at 69. but in the sun tomorrow right throughout the north bay it will feel like mid 70s. you know how it is here. your seven-day forecast we do have those clouds on mother's day. there's only a small hint at maybe a chance of a scattered shower. i'm going more for the cloudy side and then as we head throughout tuesday, wednesday, and thursday we'll get some gradual warming with low to mid 70s. >> we've got a mother here. >> that is true. >> happy early mother's day. >> we've got to take care of her. >> i'll make a big deal of mother's day for my mother but i try to keep it low key for me because you know what? when father's day comes around we can do the same. so see how that works? >> there you go.

>> yes, happy early mother's day. >> thank you. >> and thank you for the forecast. >> no problem. let's bring in now our sports coverage from the giants game. >> and now the xfinity sports desk on nbc bay area news. >> well, as we've been telling you all newscast long it's a very special day for the greatest giant of them all. willie mays celebrating his big 80 rth birthday. >> giants are hosting just a small little birthday party for willie mays. >> just a tiny one. >> 40,000 fans. a pregame ceremony for willey mays before the giants-rockies game. it starts right about now at at&t park. let's go to the ballpark from willie mays plaza, appropriately named, we check in with comcast sportsnet's jamie sire. what an amazing night for the giants. i see you're smiling and i know willie mays is smiling as well. >> reporter: absolutely, raj. and you know the giants are going to do it up right with the pregame ceremony honoring willie mays. and i was talking to some of the giants players before the game and they were telling me just how cool it is that willie mays

is around the ballpark so often. they can sit with him in the clubhouse, kind of pick his brain about certain things, anything relating to baseball. here's what some of the other living legends had to say about the say hey kid. >> his legacy will go down as the greatest playing of all time. i think we know that already. that's still secret. >> if you look at the stats, anything that comes up comes down some kind of way. my father used to call me at night and say if you're in the top five you're going to be in the hall of fame. >> everybody says willie mays is the greatest player they ever saw. i mean, he's the greatest player i ever saw. greatest player i ever played against. >> it's kind of difficult because i love the game so much, to talk about what i did on the field, i did so many things on the field. anything you talk about, i think

i did it. >> he's the best player to ever play the game. >> every day willie did something on the field that's incredible. >> he did things where people would go home and they would sit around at the breakfast table and they would say, did you see willie catch that ball? did you see how he -- did you see how he did it? >> when you talked about willie, it's, hey, just hope you that keep the ball in the ballpark when he hits it. so all you had to do was hope and pray that you got him out. >> in a time that you had roberto clemente and frank robinson, henry aaron, he was the first name you came up with. because he was just slightly better at everything than everybody else. >> you're talking about a 5'2" ball player where willie had all of it. >> the guy could run. the guy could hit for average. the guy could hit for power. a guy that could field. and a guy that could throw. that's what made him great. >> reporter: and that's actually
