11:02 pm
uncooperative. she resisted arrest and had to be subdued before she was eventually arrested. now this is the fifth security breach here at mineta san jose international airport in less than a year. you may recall that santa clara teen who made international headlines last april when he hopped the fence last year and climbed into the wheel well of the plane and survived the trip to hawaii. tonight, san jose police say this woman had no identification on her and she refused to give her name to e santa clara county jail booked on charges of trespassing and resisting arrest. live in san jose, betty yu, kpix5. a lot of people are wondering how does this keep happening? among them, congressman eric swalwell. i spoke with him a short time ago. >> something is happening at the san jose airport. the number of breaches there exceeds by a very high number
11:03 pm
the breaches we have seen at any airport across the country. >> is there any explanation for that you can see? >> no, and i don't believe that is fence isn't high enough or there are problems with the outside perimeter. i think that, you know, there's something unusual and perhaps because one person breached, and made national news, it is attracting other individuals to want to breach the perimeter there. but, the bottom line is, airport officials need the know at the moment of the breach. not minutes later, perhaps, later. once the individual is on the grounds and passengers are exposed. >> congressman swalwell has been calling for high-tech sensors for months now. and late breaking developments in the sudden death of andrew getty. son of billionaire gordon getty. what's the latest, andria?

11:05 pm
the family acknowledged his death and released this. the family has asked that members of the media and public respect its privacy during this difficult time. the getty home was not unknown to lapd. there had been 30 calls to service over the years. just two weeks ago, getty filed a restraining order against his ex-girlfriend. today's 911 call came from a woman inside the home as a general distress call. by the time crews arrived, the los angeles coroner had to be called in. >> he was not feeling good the last couple of months and he supposedly had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow with a personal physician. we did collect some prescription bottles. >> reporter: now we are told the woman who called 911 is cooperating with la county authorities. an autopsy has not yet been scheduled. >> very tragic day for the getty family.

11:07 pm

11:09 pm
>> indiana governor mike pence bowed to public pressure today saying his state's new religious freedom law needs to be clarified. >> the smear here against this deal is that it created a license to discriminate. or license to deny services. and that's just completely false. >> pence asked his legislature for new language making it clear that while religious freedoms would be upheld, businesses cannot deny services to anyone. he wants it on his desk by the end of this week. >> were you expecting this type of backlash to the law? >> was i expecting this kind of backlash? heavens no! >> protests and boycotts led by gay and lesbian groups who feared the law would allow discrimination have gained steam all week. today, despite the uproar in indiana, the arkansas state legislature also voted to pass a version of a religious

11:11 pm
community and get things done. >> reporter: but buy a brand new $20,000 car in hayward tomorrow and you will pay $250 more in sales tax. >> you buy something relatively expensive, that 1% will determine a lot. >> reporter: john admits the half a percent is small, but every bit adds. >> that could be the difference in diapers, food for your kids. >> reporter: in hayward, mark kelly, kpix5. >> and the sales tax could go up more, there is a bill in the legislature now allowing cities to add 1% to their sales tax. a big power outage tonight in the south bay. the culprit? a squirrel. not kidding. reps with silicon valley power say a squirrel wheeled its way into a transformer damaging it knocking out power to about 5,000 customers for a couple of hours. mostly in the southeast part of the city. coming up, stanford med students poisoned. a fellow student arrested.
