A Bedford neighborhood is cleaning up after vandals hit at least 15 homes in the area overnight Friday.

Police said the homes were hit in the Village of Oak Park neighborhood.

The vandals threw corn, paint, mustard, ketchup and other items on cars and garage doors between midnight and 5 a.m., police said.

One victim said the vandals had to walk up his driveway to commit the crime, a brazen act, he said.

Many neighbors were helped out by a woman vandalized herself, Tina Kitts.

Kitts owns T.A.S.K. Auto Eco Wash, a car detailing business, and had the right tools to clean cars up quickly.

"With this sun, this stuff will bake on fast," Kitts said.

With a hand-cart full of soaps and waxes, Kitts was able to help many of the people on her street.

"We just got the whole neighborhood together and started cleaning up the cars everybody pitched in cleaning each one, one by one," Kitts said.

Neighbors credit Kitts with saving them from having permanently damaged cars.

No word on what charges the vandals may face if they're found.

The cast of Kidd Kraddick in the Morning plan to continue on with the show even after the show's  namesake has died.

Kidd Kraddick died while attending a golf tournament in Louisiana that benefited his children's charity, Kidd's Kids. Preliminary autopsy results from the Jefferson Parish Coroner's Office said Kraddick died of cardiac disease.

On Monday, the cast of the morning show returned to the airwaves for an abbreviated show in which they memorialized the longtime host.

The cast then retreated and took a few days to sort out their future while fans started a petition asking them to continue on in Kidd's absence.

On Friday, KHKS-FM (KISS FM) released the following statement on their web site regarding the show:

In an effort to keep you up to date on what is going on, we wanted to let you know that the cast had a great meeting Thursday about the show moving forward.

They are all excited about continuing Kidd's legacy and are ready to get back on the air. Monday's show, although slightly different, is going to be funny, topical and emotional. It is the same show you fell in love with when we signed on.

Yes, the name is still Kidd Kraddick In the Morning. Kidd worked hard to build this brand, and the bottom line is that the show is Kidd Kraddick In the Morning.

We ask that you be patient with the new version of the show and allow it some time to grow.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said its investigators found "sufficient evidence" that Beamers Private Club in Dallas sold alcohol to an already intoxicated person either late Dec. 7 or early Dec. 8 and conducted "practices that promote excessive consumption by patrons."

The Dallas nightclub where former Cowboys player Josh Brent last stopped before being involved in a fatal crash that killed a teammate may have over-served patrons that night, state liquor authorities said Friday.

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said its investigators found "sufficient evidence" that Beamers Private Club in Dallas sold alcohol to an already intoxicated person either late Dec. 7 or early Dec. 8 and conducted "practices that promote excessive consumption by patrons."

Brent is charged with intoxication manslaughter in the Dec. 8 crash that killed Jerry Brown, a practice squad player and Brent's college teammate. He is scheduled for trial next month, and faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted, though he could also get probation.

TABC did not name Brent, but acknowledged that it wouldn't continue its case against Beamers until Brent's criminal case ends. The agency declined to release its full report.

Lt. John Graham of TABC said investigators think Beamers Private was Brent's last stop before the crash in the Dallas suburb of Irving. TABC did not interview Brent, but spoke to others who were at the bar that night, Graham said.

Beamers Private could lose its liquor license as a result of the investigation, Graham said.

Owners of Beamers Private did not immediately return an email and a phone message.

Brent retired from the Cowboys last month after his career was placed on hold.

"I am at a point where my main focus is all about getting the priorities in my life in order," Brent said in a statement provided by the team last month. "Those priorities are more important than football. Doing the right things in life are more important than football. I love the game very much. I love my teammates, but this is the right thing for me to do."

Irving police have accused Brent of driving with a blood-alcohol content more than twice the legal limit the night of the crash. His attorney, George Milner, has filed a motion to have the blood test performed on Brent thrown out. A judge has not yet ruled on that request.

A witness captured this video shortly after a car plowed into a crowd of pedestrians on the Venice Boardwalk.

More Photos and Videos

A hit-and-run driver plowed into a crowd of pedestrians near the Venice Boardwalk on Saturday afternoon, killing one person and injuring 11 others, authorities said.

Police have detained a possible suspect and a vehicle of interest, Lt. Andrew Neiman of the Los Angeles Police Department told NBC4. Officials later reported that a man in his 20s turned himself in to police in the neighboring city of Santa Monica.

The crash occurred about 6 p.m. near the end of Dudley Avenue (map), officials said.

Of the injured, 10 required hospitalization. One person remained in critical condition late Saturday and two others received minor injuries and declined hospitalization, according to Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey.

The driver fled the scene after the crash, said Officer Jorge Torres of the Los Angeles Police Department. Torres described the suspect's vehicle as a dark-colored sedan.

A man who identified himself as "Paolo" and who works at a nearby cafe told NBC4 that he heard what sounded like a car speeding down a narrow alleyway, then screams.

He and others at the restaurant said they caught a glimpse of a dark-colored sedan.

The Venice Boardwalk is known for its street performers and eclectic shops and restaurants, and is considered a major Southern California tourist attraction.

Caught on Cam: "Panhandler" Pranks Passengers

advertisement

It's a scenario that anyone who rides a subway is familiar with. A man or woman enters the subway car with a cup in their hand and proceeds to tell all the passengers their life story in order to get some change.

But as seen in the CollegeHumor video embedded below, one such panhandler had a very different message as well as a different kind of request when he spoke to SEPTA passengers a few days ago. Here's a hint. He's a bit more "fortunate" than the average panhandler…

Police arrested a driver in connection with a deadly crash at the Venice boardwalk, police said Sunday.

Nathan Louis Campbell, 38, was booked into the Los Angeles County Jail on a murder charge in connection with Saturday's crash, police and online jail records said.

The news comes as a woman killed in the crash was identified, Los Angeles County Coroner's officials said.

Alice Gruppioni, 32, of Italy, died in the crash that happened at 6 p.m. on Saturday in the 100 block of Dudley Avenue, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department. The crash also injured 11 others, including one critically.

Of the 12 people initially reported injured, Gruppioni died from her injuries, LAPD Lt. Andy Neiman said. Another victim was in critical condition, two were in serious condition and eight were being treated for less-serious injuries, police said.

After the crash, the suspect allegedly ran away after abandoning the car at Ocean Park Boulevard and Beverly Avenue, where it was located by authorities.

An LAPD K-9 bomb squad was called in to check the abandoned car for explosive devices in what Neiman termed an abundance of caution.

Police said the suspect turned himself in at the Santa Monica police station. He was later booked into an LAPD jail.

Witnesses said it appeared the car, described as a 2008 to 2010 black or dark blue Dodge Avenger, drove toward pedestrians as it swerved on and off the curb.

The Venice Boardwalk is known for its street performers and eclectic shops and restaurants, and is considered a major Southern California tourist attraction.
