Family fight in central Fresno ends in gang member arrest

A fight between two cousins Monday morning in central Fresno ended with one man's arrest, Fresno police said.

Police received a call about a stabbing victim outside a home on the 2300 block of East Clay Avenue.

Upon arriving, officers found the victim had a cut on his throat just under his chin, but the injury was not life-threatening, police said.

The fight apparently started because the 26-year-old suspect, a Bulldog gang member who was upset about his girlfriend, caused a disturbance inside the home.

The suspect's mother said he was under the influence of some type of narcotic, police said.

The victim had stepped inside the home to try to intervene. As they walked outside, the suspect sliced the victim's throat with an unknown object, police said.

The suspect ran from the location but was arrested near the area. He was booked at the Fresno County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

Sanger restores its city entry signs

The city of Sanger has renewed its welcome to families and businesses by restoring the iconic "Nation's Christmas Tree City" entry signs.

Crafted from Sequoia redwood, the colorful monuments have been restored thanks to a collaboration of the city with students from Sanger High School's art and construction classes.

The newly restored monument signs are being installed at the city's three main entry points: Jensen Avenue just east of Indianola, Academy Avenue at Church Avenue and Academy Avenue at Muscat Avenue. City staff also will relandscape the areas around the monuments.

Sanger City Manager Brian Haddix said that the City Council will honor the teachers and students who worked on the project at the regular City Council meeting on Thursday.
