Video shows street sweeper dumping debris in Stockton business parking lot
What happens when the street sweeper leaves the mess behind? In Carmela Karcher's report for CBS News Sacramento, Stockton business owners describe discovering debris outside their stores, and security footage shows a privately owned sweeper unloading into a parking lot before driving away.
Kelli Reid, manager at Carter's Pet Mart, describes finding needles, gloves and broken car parts among the garbage. Greg Macklem of Daily Deal Wholesale recounts an earlier mattress-dumping incident. Karcher reports that a police report was filed and the city asked Public Works to look into the matter. Viewers are asking whether the footage could yield a readable license plate and which agency should investigate.
The report is the most watched of the channel's uploads this week, reaching about 14,500 views before its first day was over. It also has the strongest daily momentum, followed by Madisen Keavy's report on police releasing suspect photos after the Sacramento State dorm shooting.
Across a week of 22 uploads, the subscriber total stayed unchanged, while the current daily views are well above the channel's usual level. Among nearby local-news channels, WPBF 25 News had a substantially larger week for views; WJZ also has daily viewing running above its norm.
Sacramento's coverage also found room for a different local-policy dispute: Ripon's council unanimously approved restrictions on feeding stray and feral cats on public property. Animal advocates oppose the rules, saying they could make caring for the animals harder.
